Second Quarter 2017 Results
As a result of the change in the company's financial reporting calendar, financial results for the second quarter 2017 include the impact of seven additional days of operations.
Company Results
Second quarter 2017 company net income was $44.3 million, an $8.0 million increase from the second quarter of 2016. Excluding the impact of the provision for income taxes, these results were driven by $7.1 million of higher development margin, $5.0 million of higher rental revenues net of expenses, $5.0 million of higher resort management and other services revenues net of expenses, $2.5 million of higher financing revenues net of expenses and consumer financing interest expense, $1.8 million of lower acquisition costs, and $0.3 million of lower interest expense, partially offset by $10.8 million of lower gains and other income, $4.2 million of higher general and administrative costs, $2.3 million of higher royalty fees, and $0.2 million of higher litigation settlement costs.
Total company vacation ownership contract sales were $209.9 million, $43.9 million, or 26 percent, higher than the second quarter of 2016. These results were driven by $45.3 million of higher contract sales in the company's North America segment and $1.2 million of higher contract sales in the company's Asia Pacific segment, partially offset by $2.5 million of lower contract sales in the company's Europe segment. Excluding the estimated impact of the change in the company's financial reporting calendar, total company vacation ownership contract sales would have increased 18 percent, compared to the prior year period.
Development margin was $40.8 million, a $7.1 million increase from the second quarter of 2016. Development margin percentage was 21.4 percent compared to 23.1 percent in the prior year quarter. The increase in development margin reflected $11.0 million from higher contract sales volumes net of expenses, $6.8 million from lower product costs, and $1.9 million related to favorable revenue reportability year-over-year, partially offset by $7.0 million from lower favorable product cost true-up activity year-over-year, $5.4 million of higher marketing and sales costs including costs to ramp up the company's new sales distributions, and $0.3 million from higher sales reserve activity. Adjusted development margin percentage, which excludes the impact of revenue reportability year-over-year, was 20.4 percent in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 22.8 percent in the second quarter of 2016.
Rental revenues totaled $84.2 million, a $9.1 million increase from the second quarter of 2016. Rental revenues net of expenses were $14.0 million, a $5.0 million, or 55 percent, increase from the second quarter of 2016.
Resort management and other services revenues totaled $79.2 million, a $5.0 million increase from the second quarter of 2016. Resort management and other services revenues, net of expenses, totaled $35.2 million, a $5.0 million, or 17 percent, increase from the second quarter of 2016.
Financing revenues totaled $32.5 million, a $3.9 million increase from the second quarter of 2016. Financing revenues, net of expenses and consumer financing interest expense, were $23.4 million, a $2.5 million, or 12 percent, increase from the second quarter of 2016.
Net income was $44.3 million, compared to net income of $36.3 million in the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $8.0 million, or 22 percent. Adjusted EBITDA was $77.9 million, a $13.7 million, or 21 percent, increase from $64.2 million in the second quarter of 2016.
Segment Results
North America
North America vacation ownership contract sales were $190.9 million, an increase of $45.3 million, or 31 percent, from the prior year period, reflecting higher sales from existing sales centers driven by the success of our new marketing programs, as well as the continued ramp-up of new sales distributions. VPG increased $195, or 6 percent, to $3,579 in the second quarter of 2017 from the second quarter of 2016. Total tours in the second quarter of 2017 increased 28 percent, reflecting a 34 percent increase in first time buyer tours and a 23 percent increase in owner tours. Excluding the estimated impact of the change in the company's financial reporting calendar, vacation ownership contract sales and tours would have increased 22 percent and 18 percent, respectively, compared to the prior year period.
Second quarter 2017 North America segment financial results were $118.7 million, an increase of $8.3 million from the second quarter of 2016. The increase was driven primarily by $6.9 million of higher development margin, $5.0 million of higher resort management and other services revenues net of expenses, $4.1 million of higher rental revenues net of expenses, $3.9 million of higher financing revenues, and $1.8 million of lower acquisition costs, partially offset by $12.5 million of lower gains and other income, and $0.8 million of higher royalty fees.
Development margin was $43.4 million, a $6.9 million increase from the second quarter of 2016. Development margin percentage was 24.7 percent compared to 27.5 percent in the prior year quarter. The increase in development margin reflected $11.2 million from higher contract sales volumes net of expenses, $6.5 million from lower product costs, and $1.1 million related to favorable revenue reportability year-over-year, partially offset by $6.8 million from lower favorable product cost true-up activity year-over-year, $3.6 million of higher marketing and sales costs including costs to ramp up the company's new sales distributions, and $1.5 million from higher sales reserve activity mainly associated with an 11.0 percentage point increase in financing propensity. Adjusted development margin percentage, which excludes the impact of revenue reportability, was 23.4 percent in the second quarter of 2017, compared to 26.5 percent in the second quarter of 2016.
Asia Pacific
Total vacation ownership contract sales in the segment were $11.6 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 11 percent, from the second quarter of 2016, due primarily to the opening of the new sales distribution in Surfers Paradise, Australia in the second quarter of 2016. Segment financial results were a loss of $1.1 million, a $1.5 million improvement from the second quarter of 2016. Excluding the estimated impact of the change in the company's financial reporting calendar, vacation ownership contract sales would have increased 6 percent, compared to the prior year period.
