Explanatory Note

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Diamond Resorts International, Inc. (“DRII,” the "Company," "we," or "us") for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 includes restated consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015, restated consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and restated consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and notes to the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. We will not file an amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. This restatement included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is to reflect a correction in the application of the relative sales value inventory valuation model in the accounting for Vacation Interests cost of sales.

As discussed in " Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the "2015 Form 10-K/A"), we use the relative sales value method to account for Vacation Interests cost of sales, in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 978, “Real Estate - Timesharing Activities” (“ASC 978”), for which we rely on complex financial models that began with our implementation of ASC 978 in 2005 and continue prospectively through the theoretical sell-out of the respective inventory. These models incorporate a variety of estimates, including the total revenues to be earned over the life of a "phase" (as defined in ASC 978) based upon an estimated retail sales price per point.

Since our implementation of ASC 978, through the quarter ended June 30, 2014, we treated most of our resort trusts (each a Diamond Collection) as separate phases, for which we maintained separate relative sales value models, as the Diamond Collections were considered distinct pools of inventory. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, we began the practice of transferring (including through bulk transfer agreements) significant amounts of our company inventory and inventory that had been held by certain Diamond Collections in the U.S. (“U.S. Collections”) to those of our U.S. Collections that were in active sales. As a result of this change, the U.S. Collections became more homogeneous in nature (i.e., inventory within a single resort could now be included in multiple U.S. Collections). This represented a change in our internal vacation ownership interests (“Vacation Interests”) inventory management strategy intended to maintain adequate inventory levels to satisfy future projected sales levels.

As a result, during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, we transitioned to one consolidated relative sales value model for all of the U.S. Collections, which was more reflective of our current business model as it relates to our internal Vacation Interests inventory management strategy. In doing so, we combined a higher concentration of inventory within the U.S. Collections that had a lower average future retail sales price per point with a smaller concentration of inventory that had a higher average future retail sales price per point. Accordingly, the total weighted-average estimated revenue over the life of the U.S. Collections phase under one model exceeded that of the total individual models combined. In addition, the cost pools of each individual relative sales value model varied due to differences in the acquisition cost of Vacation Interests inventory in each U.S. Collection. The inception-to-date cost off rate was also impacted by these differences in cost when the relative sales value model was changed for the U.S. Collections. This resulted in a lower cumulative cost of sales percentage (higher estimated future revenue and lower overall cost off rate) as of September 30, 2014.

Originally, we had concluded that this decrease in Vacation Interests cost of sales should be recognized prospectively. However, subsequent to the issuance of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we determined that the change related to our internal Vacation Interests inventory management strategy should have been accounted for as a change in accounting estimate under ASC 978. Specifically, we should have recorded unsold Vacation Interests, net in the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014 as if the lower Vacation Interests cost of sales percentage was applied at the beginning of the phase. The resulting $33.2 million adjustment in the year ended December 31, 2014 should have been recorded as an increase to unsold Vacation Interests, net rather than applying it as a reduction to the future cost of sales percentage. This change resulted in (i) an increase of $2.0 million and $4.5 million to Vacation Interests cost of sales and a corresponding decrease in unsold Vacation Interests, net for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015; and (ii) an increase of $2.0 million to Vacation Interests cost of sales and a corresponding decrease in unsold Vacation Interests, net for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

As such, we have restated our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 to correct our accounting for Vacation Interests cost of sales and unsold Vacation Interests, net as a result of this change. The restatement of our historical consolidated financial statements to reflect this correction in the application of the relative sales value model in accounting for Vacation Interests cost of sales is referred to herein as the "Restatement."

For further information regarding the Restatement, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 8, 2016 (the "Restatement 8-K"), and for detailed financial information with respect to the Restatement, see “ Note 3 — Restatement to Previously Issued Financial Statements ” of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Note 3”).

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with certain of our filings made with the SEC, including the Restatement 8-K, our amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2015, and our

amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, as filed with SEC on August 8, 2016.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1	— Background, Business and Basis of Presentation

Business and Background

Diamond Resorts International, Inc. ("DRII") is a holding company, and its principal asset is the direct and indirect ownership of equity interests in its subsidiaries, including Diamond Resorts Corporation ("DRC"), which is the wholly-owned operating subsidiary that has historically conducted the business described below.

Except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated, references in the condensed consolidated financial statements to "the Company" refer to DRII and its subsidiaries, including DRC.

The Company operates in the hospitality and vacation ownership industry, with a worldwide resort network of 437 vacation destinations located in 35 countries throughout the world, including the continental United States ("U.S."), Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Africa. The Company’s resort network includes 108 resort properties with approximately 13,000 units that are managed by the Company and 309 affiliated resorts and hotels and 20 cruise itineraries, which the Company does not manage and do not carry the Company's brand, but are a part of the Company's network and, through THE Club and other Club offerings (the "Clubs"), are available for its members to use as vacation destinations.

The Company’s operations consist of two interrelated businesses: (i) hospitality and management services, which includes operations related to the management of the homeowners associations (the "HOAs") for resort properties and eight multi-resort trusts and one single-resort trust (collectively, the "Diamond Collections"), operations of the Clubs, food and beverage venues owned and managed by the Company and the provision of other hospitality and management services; and (ii) vacation interests ("VOIs" or "Vacation Interests") sales and financing, which includes marketing and sales of VOIs and consumer financing for purchasers of the Company’s VOIs. The Company derives a majority of its total revenue from the Vacation Interests sales and financing segment.

Gold Key Acquisition

On October 16, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Ocean Beach Club, LLC, Gold Key Resorts, LLC, Professional Hospitality Resources, Inc., Vacation Rentals, LLC and Resort Promotions, Inc. (collectively, the "Gold Key Companies") relating to the operation of their vacation ownership business in Virginia Beach, Virginia and the Outer Banks, North Carolina (the "Gold Key Acquisition"). The Company acquired management contracts, real property interests, unsold Vacation Interests and other assets of the Gold Key Companies, adding six additional managed resorts to the Company's resort network, in exchange for a cash purchase price of $167.9 million and the assumption of certain non-interest-bearing liabilities. At the closing of the Gold Key Acquisition, an additional $6.2 million was deposited into an escrow account to support the Company's obligations under a default recovery agreement, which is recorded as restricted cash in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. See " Note 24—Business Combinations " for further details on the Gold Key Acquisition.

Intrawest Acquisition

On January 29, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of the vacation ownership business of Intrawest Resort Club Group from Intrawest Resorts Holdings, Inc., through which the Company acquired management contracts, Vacation Interests notes and other receivables, real property interests, unsold Vacation Interests and other assets in exchange for $84.6 million in cash plus the assumption of certain non-interest-bearing liabilities (the "Intrawest Acquisition"). The Intrawest Acquisition added nine managed resorts located in the U.S., Canada and Mexico to the Company's resort network.

On February 24, 2016, the Company's board of directors announced that it formed a Strategic Review Committee comprised of independent directors to explore strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value.

On June 29, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with affiliates of certain funds (the “Apollo Funds”) managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Apollo”), pursuant to which the Apollo Funds will acquire the Company for $30.25 per share of common stock, or approximately $2.2 billion , subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement ("the Pending Merger"). On July 14, 2016, entities affiliated with the Apollo Funds commenced a tender offer to acquire all of the Company’s shares of common stock in connection with the Pending Merger. Completion of the tender offer is conditional upon, among other things, the tender of at least one more share of common stock than 50% of the Company’s outstanding shares. Additional information regarding

the tender offer and the Pending Merger may be found in the Schedule 14D-9 filed on July 14, 2016 by the Company with the SEC and the Schedule TO filed on July 14, 2016 with the SEC by the affiliates of Apollo making the tender offer. This transaction is expected to close in the fall of 2016.

Basis of Presentation

During the quarter ended December 31, 2015 , the Company concluded that the majority of the cash collected on overnight rental operations ultimately belong to the Company and are available for general corporate use and reclassified the amount of such cash on its balance sheet from cash in escrow and restricted cash to cash and cash equivalents. Consequently, the Company revised its statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to reflect this reclassification. In addition, the Company reclassified certain amounts related to changes in cash in escrow and restricted cash from cash flows from financing activities to cash flows from operating activities in its statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to conform to the current period presentation.

The revisions to and impact on the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as a result of both reclassifications above are not material.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the " 2015 Form 10-K/A"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be reviewed in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements included in the 2015 Form 10-K/A. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2016 or any future period.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant accounting policies

Significant accounting policies are those policies that, in management's view, are most important in the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The methods, estimates and judgments that the Company uses in applying its accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that it reports in the financial statements. Some of these significant accounting policies require the Company to make subjective and complex judgments regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. See "Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2015 Form 10-K/A for a discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies that require significant judgment.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated from the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. The methods, estimates and judgments that the Company uses in applying its accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that the Company reports in its financial statements. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue, bad debts, Vacation Interests cost of sales, stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, unsold Vacation Interests, net, and business combinations. These estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of the Company's analyses form the basis for making assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and the impact of such differences may be material to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-01, "Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items" ("ASU No. 2015-01"), which eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Extraordinary items are events and transactions that are distinguished by their unusual nature and by the infrequency of their occurrence. ASU No. 2015-01 simplifies income statement presentation by altogether removing the concept of extraordinary items from consideration. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-01 as of its quarter ended March 31, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have any impact on the Company's financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, "Consolidation" (“ASU No. 2015-02”), which is intended to respond to stakeholders’ concerns about the current accounting guidance for certain legal entities. The amendments update the analysis of consolidation for limited partnerships, contractual fee arrangements and investment funds, as well as include additional guidance on the effect of related parties. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-02 as of its quarter ended March 31, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have any impact on the Company's financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest" ("ASU No. 2015-03"), which is intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-03 require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in ASU No. 2015-03. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03 as of its quarter ended March 31, 2016 on a retrospective basis. The impact of this adoption on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 was: (i) a $24.2 million reduction in prepaid expenses and other assets, net; (ii) an $11.5 million reduction in the senior secured credit facility originally entered into on May 9, 2014 and subsequently amended on December 22, 2014 and December 3, 2015 (the "Senior Credit Facility"); and (iii) a $12.7 million reduction in the securitization notes and Funding Facilities. This adoption had no other impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company elected to continue to include the debt issuance costs associated with its Funding Facilities (which consist of the $200.0 million Credit Suisse conduit facility (the "Credit Suisse Conduit Facility"), the $100.0 million loan sale facility with Quorum Federal Credit Union (the "Quorum Facility") and the $100 million loan facility with Capital One, National Association (the “Capital One Conduit Facility”) and the revolving line of credit under the Senior Credit Facility in prepaid expenses and other assets, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software" ("ASU No. 2015-05"), which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and, if so, how the software license element of the arrangement should be accounted for by the customer. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-05 as of its quarter ended March 31, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments" ("ASU No. 2015-16"), which requires that an acquirer in a business combination recognize adjustments to estimated amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. ASU No. 2015-16 also requires that the acquirer record, in the current period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the estimated amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-16 as of its quarter ended March 31, 2016. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, "Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures" ("ASU No. 2016-07"). The amendments in ASU No. 2016-07 eliminate the requirement that an entity retroactively adopt the equity method of accounting if an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence. The amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-07 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation - Improvements to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting" ("ASU No. 2016-09"). The areas for simplification in this update involve several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some of the areas for simplification apply only

to non-public entities. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-09 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing" ("ASU No. 2016-10"). This update clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation contained in ASU No. 2014-09. The amendments do not change the core principal of the guidance. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2016-10 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-11, "Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to staff announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting" ("ASU No. 2016-11"). This update rescinds certain Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") staff comments codified in FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topics 605, "Revenue Recognition." The Company will adopt ASU No. 2016-11 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2018. The adoption of this update will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients" ("ASU No. 2016-12"). The amendments in ASU 2016-12 provide clarification to certain core recognition principles related to ASU No. 2014-09 including collectability, sales tax presentation, noncash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition and disclosures no longer required if the full retrospective transition method is adopted. The amendments do not change the core principal of the guidance. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2016-12 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASU No. 2016-13"). This update amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in the more timely recognition of losses. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-13 as of its quarter ending March 31, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements.

See " Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies " to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2015 Form 10-K/A for additional accounting standards issued but not adopted as of June 30, 2016 .

Note 3 — Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

The Company restated its previously issued consolidated financial statements to reflect a change in the application of its relative sales value model used to calculate Vacation Interests cost of sales as a change in estimate as described below.

As discussed in " Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of our consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K/A, the Company uses the relative sales value method to account for Vacation Interests cost of sales in accordance with the provisions of ASC “Real Estate - Timesharing Activities” (“ASC 978”), for which the Company relies on complex financial models that began with the Company’s implementation of ASC 978 in 2005 and continue prospectively through the theoretical sell-out of the respective inventory. These models incorporate a variety of estimates, including the total revenues to be earned over the life of a "phase" (as defined in ASC 978) based upon an estimated retail sales price per point.

Since the Company’s implementation of ASC 978 through the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company treated most of its resort trusts (each a “Diamond Collection”) as separate phases for which the Company maintained separate relative sales value models, as the Diamond Collections were considered distinct pools of inventory. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company began the practice of transferring (including through bulk transfer agreements) significant amounts of Company-owned inventory and inventory that had been held by certain Diamond Collections in the U.S. (“U.S. Collections”) to those of the Company’s U.S. Collections that were in active sales. As a result of this change, the U.S. Collections became more homogeneous in nature (i.e., inventory within a single resort could now be included in multiple U.S. Collections). This represented a change in the Company’s internal vacation ownership interests (“Vacation Interests”) inventory management strategy intended to maintain adequate inventory levels to satisfy future projected sales levels.

As a result, during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company transitioned to one consolidated relative sales value model for all of the U.S. Collections, which was more reflective of the Company’s current business model as it relates to the Company’s internal Vacation Interests inventory management strategy. In doing so, the Company combined a higher concentration of inventory within the U.S. Collections that had a lower average future retail sales price per point with a smaller concentration of inventory that had a higher average future retail sales price per point. Accordingly, the total weighted average

Table of Contents

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-- Continued

estimated revenue over the life of the U.S. Collections phase under one model exceeded that of the total individual models combined. In addition, the cost pools of each individual relative sales value model varied due to differences in the acquisition cost of Vacation Interests inventory in each U.S. Collection. The inception-to-date cost off rate was also impacted by these differences in cost when the relative sales value model was changed for the U.S. Collections. This resulted in a lower cumulative cost of sales percentage (higher estimated future revenue and lower overall cost off rate) as of September 30, 2014.

Originally, the Company had concluded that this decrease in Vacation Interests cost of sales should be recognized prospectively. However, subsequent to the issuance of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company determined that the change related to the internal Vacation Interests inventory management strategy should have been accounted for as a change in accounting estimate under ASC 978. Specifically, the Company should have recorded unsold Vacation Interests, net in the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014 as if the lower Vacation Interests cost of sales percentage was applied at the beginning of the phase. The resulting $33.2 million adjustment in the year ended December 31, 2014 should have been recorded as an increase to unsold Vacation Interests, net rather than applying it as a reduction to the future cost of sales percentage. This change resulted in an increase of $2.0 million and $4.5 million to Vacation Interests cost of sales and a corresponding decrease in unsold Vacation Interests, net for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively and an increase of $2.0 million to Vacation Interests cost of sales and a corresponding decrease in unsold Vacation Interests, net for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The restatement to reflect this correction in the application of the relative sales value model in accounting for Vacation Interests cost of sales is referred to herein as the "Restatement."

The table below sets forth balances as originally reported for balance sheet categories impacted by the Restatement, the impact of the Restatement on such categories and revised balances for such categories as of December 31, 2015 (in thousands):

Note 4 — Concentrations of Risk

Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to on-balance sheet credit risk related to its Vacation Interests notes receivable. The Company offers financing to the buyers of VOIs and bears the risk of defaults on promissory notes delivered to it by buyers of VOIs. If a buyer of VOIs defaults, the Company generally attempts to resell such VOIs by exercise of a power of sale. The associated marketing, selling and administrative costs from the original sale are not recovered and such costs must be incurred again to resell the VOIs. Although in many cases the Company may have recourse against a buyer of VOIs for the unpaid price, certain states have laws that limit the Company’s ability to recover personal judgments against customers who have defaulted on their loans, and the Company has generally not pursued this remedy.

The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents, cash in escrow and restricted cash with various financial institutions. These financial institutions are located throughout North America, Europe and the Caribbean. A significant portion of the Company's cash is maintained with a select few banks and is, accordingly, subject to credit risk. Periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of financial institutions maintaining the deposits are performed to evaluate and mitigate, if necessary, any credit risk.

Availability of Funding Sources

The Company has historically funded Vacation Interests notes receivable and unsold Vacation Interests with borrowings through its financing facilities and internally generated funds. Borrowings are in turn repaid with the proceeds received by the Company from repayments of such Vacation Interests notes receivable. To the extent that the Company is not successful in maintaining or replacing existing financings, it may have to curtail its sales and marketing operations or sell assets, which could result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Geographic Concentration

Portions of the Company's consumer loan portfolio are concentrated in certain geographic regions within the U.S. The deterioration of the economic condition and financial well-being of the regions in which the Company has significant loan concentrations could adversely affect the results of operations for its consumer loan portfolio business. The credit risk inherent in such concentrations is dependent upon regional and general economic stability, which affects property values and the financial well-being of the borrowers. As of June 30, 2016 , the Company's loans to California residents constituted 32.0% of the notes receivable portfolio. No other state or foreign country concentration accounted for more than 10% of the portfolio.

Interest Rate Risk

Table of Contents

DIAMOND RESORTS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-- Continued

Since a significant portion of the Company's indebtedness bears interest at variable rates, any increase in interest rates beyond amounts covered under the Company’s derivative financial instruments, particularly if sustained, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

The Company derives net interest income from its financing activities because the interest rates it charges its customers who finance the purchase of their VOIs exceed the interest rates the Company pays to its lenders. Since the Company’s notes receivable generally bear interest at fixed rates, increases in interest rates will erode the spread in interest rates that the Company has historically obtained.

On December 11, 2015, as required by the Credit Suisse Conduit Facility, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, effective December 15, 2015 (the "December 2015 Swap"). The December 2015 Swap has a notional amount of $20.5 million and is scheduled to mature on December 20, 2025. The Company pays interest at a fixed rate of 2.4% based on a floating notional amount in accordance with a pre-determined amortization schedule, and receives interest based on one-month floating LIBOR. The December 2015 Swap did not qualify for hedge accounting. See " Note 17 — Borrowings" to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2015 Form 10-K/A for further detail on the Credit Suisse Conduit Facility.

On March 10, 2016, as required by the Credit Suisse Conduit Facility, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates (the "March 2016 Swap"). The March 2016 Swap has a notional amount of $45.0 million and is scheduled to mature on February 20, 2026. The Company pays interest at a fixed rate of 2.25% based on a floating notional amount in accordance with a pre-determined amortization schedule, and receives interest based on one-month floating LIBOR. The March 2016 Swap did not qualify for hedge accounting.

As of June 30, 2016 , the combined fair value of the December 2015 Swap and the March 2016 Swap was calculated to be $0.1 million based on a valuation report provided by the counterparty. This fair value was recorded as a derivative liability with an offsetting charge to interest expense. See " Note 20—Fair Value Measurements " for further detail on the derivative instruments.

Note 6 — Vacation Interests Notes Receivable and Allowance

The Company provides financing to purchasers of VOIs at North American and St. Maarten sales centers that is collateralized by their VOIs. Eligibility for this financing is principally dependent upon the customers’ Fair Isaac Corporation ("FICO") credit scores and other factors based on review of the customer’s credit history. As of June 30, 2016 , the Vacation Interests notes receivable bore interest at fixed rates between 6.0% and 18.0% . The terms of the Vacation Interests notes receivable range from two years to 15 years and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Vacation Interests notes receivable originated by the Company within the last five years have a term of 10 years. The weighted average interest rate of outstanding Vacation Interests notes receivable was 14.5% and 14.6% as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively.

The Company charges off Vacation Interests notes receivable upon the earliest of (i) the customer's account becoming over 180 days delinquent; or (ii) the completion of cancellation or foreclosure proceedings. Collection costs related to delinquent loans are expensed as incurred. Vacation Interests notes receivable from 91 to 180 days past due as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were 3.7% and 2.5% , respectively, of gross Vacation Interests notes receivable.

In connection with the Intrawest Acquisition, the Company acquired $22.1 million of Vacation Interests notes receivable (which is net of a $3.2 million allowance and a $1.5 million discount) based on a preliminary appraisal. This amount is included

within the balances as of June 30, 2016 throughout the tables in this footnote. See " Note 24—Business Combinations " for further details.

The Vacation Interests notes receivable, net balance includes deferred origination costs related to Vacation Interests notes receivable originated by the Company, net of the related allowance. Vacation Interests notes receivable origination costs incurred in connection with providing financing for VOIs are capitalized and amortized over the estimated life of the Vacation Interests notes receivable, based on historical prepayments, as a decrease to interest revenue using the effective interest method. Amortization of deferred loan and contract origination costs charged to interest revenue was $4.1 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $8.0 million and $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

Note 7 — Transactions with Related Parties

Due from Related Parties, Net and Due to Related Parties, Net

Amounts due from related parties, net and due to related parties, net consist primarily of transactions with HOAs or Diamond Collections for which the Company acts as the management company. Due from related parties, net transactions include (i) management fees for the Company’s role as the management company; (ii) certain expenses reimbursed by HOAs and Diamond Collections; and (iii) the recovery of a portion of the Company’s Vacation Interests carrying costs, management and member services, consolidated resort operations, loan portfolio and general and administrative expenses that are incurred on behalf of the HOAs and the Diamond Collections according to a pre-determined schedule approved by the board of directors of each HOA and Diamond Collection. Due to related parties, net transactions include (a) the amounts due to HOAs and Diamond Collections under inventory recovery agreements that the Company enters into regularly with certain HOAs and similar agreements with the Diamond Collections, pursuant to which the Company recaptures VOIs, either in the form of vacation intervals or vacation points, and brings them into the Company’s inventory for sale to customers; (b) the maintenance fee and assessment fee liability owed to HOAs and Diamond Collections for VOIs owned by the Company (generally this liability is recorded on January 1st of each year for the entire amount of annual maintenance and assessment fees, and is relieved throughout the year by payments remitted to the HOAs and the Diamond Collections; these maintenance and

assessment fees are also recorded as prepaid expenses and other assets, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized ratably over the year); (c) cleaning fees owed to the HOAs for room stays paid by the Company’s customers or by a Club on behalf of a member where the frequency of the cleans exceeds those covered by the respective maintenance fees; and (d) miscellaneous transactions with other non-HOA related parties.

A vast majority of amounts due from related parties and due to related parties, some of which are due on demand, carry no interest. Due to the fact that the right of offset exists between the Company and the HOAs and the Diamond Collections, the Company evaluates amounts due to and from each HOA and Diamond Collection at each reporting period to reduce the receivables and the payables on each party's books of record. Any remaining balances are then reclassified as either a net due to or a net due from related parties for each HOA and Diamond Collection in accordance with the requirements of ASC 210, "Balance Sheet - Offsetting."

Hospitality Management and Consulting Service, LLC ("HM&C") Management Services Agreement (the "HM&C Agreement")

HM&C was beneficially owned and controlled by Stephen J. Cloobeck, the Company's Chairman of the Board, and David F. Palmer, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, until the consummation of the HM&C Acquisition (as defined and discussed below), effective as of January 1, 2015. Pursuant to the HM&C Agreement, HM&C has provided two categories of management services to the Company: (i) executive and strategic oversight of the services that the Company provides to HOAs and the Diamond Collections through the Company’s hospitality and management services operations, for the benefit of the Company, the HOAs and the Diamond Collections; and (ii) executive, corporate and strategic oversight of the Company’s operations and certain other administrative services. HM&C provides the Company with the services of four of the Company's executive officers and other employees, each of whom devotes his or her full business time and attention to the Company, and prior to 2015 also provided the Company with the services of Mr. Cloobeck.

HM&C Acquisition

On January 6, 2015, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), whereby it acquired from an entity controlled by Mr. Cloobeck and an entity controlled by Mr. Palmer (which entities owned 95% and 5% of the outstanding membership interests of HM&C, respectively) all of the outstanding membership interests in HM&C in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000 (the "HM&C Acquisition"). As a result of the HM&C Acquisition, effective January 1, 2015, transactions between the Company and HM&C were fully eliminated from the Company's consolidated balance sheet, as HM&C became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Master Agreement

Concurrent with the Company's entry into the Purchase Agreement, on January 6, 2015, the Company entered into a Master Agreement (the "Master Agreement") with Mr. Cloobeck, HM&C, JHJM Nevada I, LLC ("JHJM") and other entities controlled by Mr. Cloobeck or his immediate family members. Pursuant to the Master Agreement, the parties made certain covenants to and agreements with the other parties, including: (i) the termination, effective as of January 1, 2015, of the services agreement between JHJM and HM&C (the "JHJM Agreement"); (ii) the conveyance to the Company of exclusive rights to market timeshare and vacation ownership properties from a prime location adjacent to Polo Towers on the “Las Vegas Strip,” pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement; (iii) Mr. Cloobeck’s agreement to various restrictive covenants, including non-competition, non-solicitation and non-interference covenants; and (iv) Mr. Cloobeck’s grant to the Company of a license to use Mr. Cloobeck’s persona, including his name, likeness and voice. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Master Agreement, the Company paid Mr. Cloobeck or his designees $16.5 million and

Table of Contents

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-- Continued

incurred $0.3 million in expenses related to this transaction. Of these amounts, $7.8 million was recorded as general and administrative expense in connection with the JHJM Agreement and $9.0 million was capitalized as marketing easement rights and other intangible assets. See "Note 13 — Other Intangible Assets, Net " to our audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2015 Form 10-K/A for further detail on the intangible assets acquired.

In addition, in light of the termination of the services agreement between JHJM and HM&C and the existence of a director designation agreement dated July 17, 2013, the Company agreed in the Master Agreement that, at least through December 31, 2017, so long as Mr. Cloobeck is serving as a member of the board of directors of the Company, he will continue to be the Chairman of the Board and, in such capacity, will receive annual compensation equal to two times the compensation generally paid to other non-employee directors, and he, his spouse and children will receive medical insurance coverage.

Aircraft Leases

In January 2012, the Company entered into an aircraft lease agreement with N702DR, LLC, a limited liability company of which Mr. Cloobeck is a beneficial owner and a controlling party. Pursuant to this lease agreement, the Company leases an aircraft from N702DR, LLC and paid N702DR, LLC $0.6 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $1.2 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The Company has agreed not to terminate this aircraft lease agreement until at least December 31, 2017, subject to certain termination provisions in the aircraft lease agreement.

In December 2007, in connection with the Company's lease of another aircraft from Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC, Mr. Cloobeck entered into a guaranty in favor of Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC. Pursuant to this guaranty, Mr. Cloobeck guarantees the Company's lease payments and any related indebtedness to Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC in connection with this aircraft lease. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company paid Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC $0.3 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , and $0.6 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 . The Company did not compensate Mr. Cloobeck for providing these guaranties; however, the Company has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Mr. Cloobeck and each of his affiliates from any and all amounts that Mr. Cloobeck is required to pay under the guaranty in favor of Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC. In exchange, Mr. Cloobeck has agreed to comply with all the covenants and agreements set forth in the guaranty for so long as Mr. Cloobeck or any of his affiliates is subject to the guaranty.

The Company is a party to time sharing agreements with each of Mr. Cloobeck, Mr. Palmer, and Howard S. Lanznar, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer of the Company, in each case with respect to use of an aircraft leased by the Company. The respective time sharing agreements provide for the non-business use by the relevant individual of such aircraft, together with use of the Company's flight crew, and requires the relevant individual to reimburse the Company for specified costs related to such non-business use.

The Company has also agreed that it will not charge Mr. Cloobeck for use of Company-leased aircraft for non-business purposes for an aggregate number of flight hours with a value, based upon the relative costs of operating the Company-leased aircraft, equal to 50 flight hours (beginning May 25, 2016 through the earlier of December 31, 2016 or the closing of the Pending Merger) on the Company-leased aircraft that is most expensive to operate.

Note 14 — Assets Held for Sale

Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or their estimated fair value less cost to sell and are not subject to depreciation. Sale of the assets classified as such is probable, and transfer of the assets is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, generally within one year of the applicable balance sheet date.

Assets held for sale as of the dates presented below consisted of the following (in thousands):



	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Unsold units and certain resorts in Europe	$	8,931	$	1,518
A unit at Cabo Azul Resort in Mexico	—		154
Total assets held for sale	$	8,931	$	1,672

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company transferred a resort in its European operations from unsold Vacation Interests to assets held for sale in accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment" ("ASC 360"). In addition, the sale of another resort in the Company's European operations was pending as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . The proceeds related to this resort were paid in full by April 2016 and the Company will transfer title to the resort by May 2017. Because the sale will not be considered consummated until title has been transferred, the resort pending consummation of sale will continue to be included in assets held for sale until such title transfer has occurred.

increase from greater than 0.90% to greater than 2.25% the average Default Level (as defined in the Credit Suisse Conduit Facility) with respect to the Securitized Portfolio that constitutes a Securitized Portfolio Performance Event, for the Payment Dates from May 20, 2016 through October 20, 2016.

On May 11, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with Capital One, National Association for the $100.0 million Capital One Conduit Facility. Borrowings under the Capital One Conduit Facility are secured by certain of the Company’s Vacation Interests notes receivable, bear interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.25% and carry a non-use fee of 0.75% . The advance rate on the Vacation Interests notes receivable is limited to 85% of the aggregate face value of eligible loans. The Capital One Conduit Facility has a stated maturity of May 11, 2020, inclusive of (i) a 30-month loan advance period and (ii) an 18-month amortization period. The Capital One Conduit Facility also provides for a $10 million sub-limit for Canadian-dollar denominated Vacation Interests notes receivable. The Capital One Conduit Facility is non-recourse and contains financial covenants consistent with the Company’s other existing financings and customary default provisions.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the Company issued two unsecured notes to finance premiums on certain insurance policies, both of which carry an interest rate of 2.5% per annum. See " Note 17 — Borrowings" to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2015 Form 10-K/A for further detail on the Company's borrowings.

The following table presents selected information on the Company’s borrowings as of the dates presented below (dollars in thousands):

(1) Non-recourse indebtedness
(2) Borrowing / funding availability is calculated as the difference between the maximum commitment amount and the outstanding principal balance; however, the actual availability is dependent on the amount of eligible loans that serve as the collateral for such borrowings.

Amortization of original issue discount and capitalized debt issuance costs that are classified as contra-borrowings in the table above was $1.6 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $3.1 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and is included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03 as of its quarter ended March 31, 2016 and reclassified debt issuance costs related to its non-revolving borrowings from prepaid expenses and other assets, net to Senior Credit Facility, net and securitization notes and Funding Facilities, net in the

accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. See "Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further detail. The Company elected to continue to include the debt issuance costs associated with its Funding Facilities and the revolving line of credit under the Senior Credit Facility in prepaid expenses and other assets, net.

Borrowing Restrictions and Limitations

All of the Company’s borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, securitization notes, the Credit Suisse Conduit Facility and the Capital One Conduit Facility contain various restrictions and limitations that may affect the Company's business and affairs. These include, but are not limited to, restrictions and limitations relating to its ability to incur indebtedness and other obligations, to make investments and acquisitions, to pay dividends and to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock. The Company is also required to maintain certain ratios and comply with other financial and performance covenants. The failure of the Company to comply with any of these provisions, or to pay its obligations, could result in foreclosure by the lenders of their security interests in the Company’s assets, and could otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants as of June 30, 2016 .

Liquidity

Historically, the Company has depended on the availability of credit to finance the consumer loans that it provides to its customers for the purchase of their VOIs. Typically, these loans require a minimum cash down payment of 10.0% of the purchase price at the time of sale. However, selling, marketing and administrative expenses attributable to VOI sales are primarily cash expenses and often exceed the buyer's minimum down payment requirement. Accordingly, the availability of financing facilities for the sale or pledge of these receivables to generate liquidity is a critical factor in the Company's ability to meet its short-term and long-term cash needs. The Company has historically relied upon its ability to sell receivables in the securitization market in order to generate liquidity and create capacity on its Funding Facilities.

Note 18 — Income Taxes

In accordance with ASC 740-270, "Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods," the income tax provisions for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were determined primarily using estimated annual effective tax rates based on estimated income before provision for income taxes for the full years ending December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. For certain foreign jurisdictions, the tax provisions for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were determined using year-to-date income before provision for income taxes.

Note 19 — Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual Obligations

The Company has entered into various contractual obligations primarily related to sales center remodeling, property amenity improvement and corporate office expansion projects. The total remaining commitment was $3.2 million as of June 30, 2016 .

Hurricane Odile

In September 2014, Hurricane Odile, a Category 4 hurricane, inflicted widespread damage on the Baja California peninsula, particularly in San Jose Del Cabo, where the Cabo Azul Resort, one of the Company's managed resorts, is located. Hurricane Odile caused significant damage to the buildings as well as the facilities and amenities at the Cabo Azul Resort, including unsold Vacation Interests and property and equipment owned by the Company. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company received $5.0 million in proceeds from its insurance carrier for property damage resulting from Hurricane Odile. The Company did not receive any proceeds related to such claim during the six months ended June 30, 2016 ; however, management believes that it will receive additional amounts under the Company's insurance policies to cover the balance of costs incurred by the Company in excess of the $5.0 million already received when the insurance claim is ultimately settled.

In addition, the Company has filed a claim under its business interruption insurance policy for business profits lost during the period that the Cabo Azul Resort remained closed as a result of the damage suffered in Hurricane Odile. During the year ended December 31, 2015 , the Company received an aggregate of $6.0 million from its insurance carrier related to such claim, which was recognized as other revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company did not receive any proceeds related to such claim during the six months ended June 30, 2016 or June 30, 2015 . The total claim remains under negotiation with the insurance carrier and any further payments will be recorded in the periods in which they are received. The Cabo Azul Resort and the on-site sales center reopened on September 1, 2015.

Kona Agreement

On July 28, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement for the purchase and sale of property, which was amended on February 25, 2016, June 30, 2016 and July 29, 2016 (as amended, the "Kona Agreement"), with Hawaii Funding LLC (the "Kona Seller"), an affiliate of Och-Ziff Real Estate. The Kona Agreement relates to the development by the Kona Seller of a new resort, which is expected to consist of 144 on property located in Kona, Hawaii to be acquired by the Kona Seller. Pursuant to the Kona Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase all of the units, subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions, including a period of assessment by both parties of the suitability and feasibility of the property for its intended use. The amendments to the Kona Agreement ultimately extended the Feasibility Period and the Termination Outside Date, each as defined in the Kona Agreement, to October 1, 2016 and October 8, 2016, respectively, and as a condition to the effectiveness of these amendments and as consideration for the extension of the Feasibility Period, the Company paid to the Kona Seller a fee of $300,000 in the aggregate.

Litigation Contingencies

From time to time, the Company or its subsidiaries are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates these legal proceedings and claims at each balance sheet date to determine the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, the Company’s ability to make a reasonable estimate of loss. The Company records a contingent litigation liability when it determines that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Note 20 — Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements" ("ASC 820"), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:


•	Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.


•	Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable.


•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs used when little or no market data is available.

As of June 30, 2016 , the only assets and liabilities of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis were those related to the March 2016 Swap and the December 2015 Swap. As of December 31, 2015 , the only assets and liabilities of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis were those related to the December 2015 Swap. The fair values of both the March 2016 Swap and the December 2015 Swap were based on valuation reports provided by the counterparty and were classified as Level 3, based on the fact that the credit risk data used for the valuations were not directly observable and could not be corroborated by observable market data. The Company’s assessment of the significant inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. See " Note 4—Concentrations of Risk " for further detail on the derivative instruments.

The following table summarizes the information regarding the Company's derivative instruments as of the dates presented below (in thousands):



	As of June 30, 2016				As of December 31, 2015
	Carrying Value		Total Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Total Estimated Fair Value
Liabilities:
Interest rate swap agreements	$	90	$	90	$	146	$	146
Total Liabilities	$	90	$	90	$	146	$	146

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , Vacation Interests notes receivable had a balance of $672.8 million and $622.6 million , net of allowance, respectively. The allowance for losses against the Vacation Interests notes receivable is derived using a static pool analysis to develop historical default percentages based on FICO credit scores to apply to the Vacation Interests notes receivable population. The Company evaluates other factors such as economic conditions, industry trends and past due aging reports in order to determine the adjustments needed to true up the allowance, which adjusts the

carrying value of Vacation Interests notes receivable to management's best estimate of collectability. As a result of such evaluation, the Company believes that the carrying value of the Vacation Interests notes receivable approximated its fair value at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . These financial assets were classified as Level 3, as there is little market data available.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility were classified as Level 2 and the Company believes the fair value of the Senior Credit Facility approximated its carrying value (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs) at such dates due to the fact that the market for similar instruments remained stable since May 2014, when the Company entered into the Senior Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the borrowings under the Credit Suisse Conduit Facility were classified as Level 2 and the Company believes the fair value of the Credit Suisse Conduit Facility approximated its carrying value at such dates due to the fact that the market for similar instruments remained stable since February 2015, when the Company entered into the latest amendment of the Credit Suisse Conduit Facility.

As of June 30, 2016 , the borrowings under the Capital One Conduit Facility were classified as Level 2 and the Company believes the fair value of the Capital One Conduit Facility approximated its carrying value due to the fact it was recently issued and, therefore, measured using other significant observable inputs.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Quorum Facility and a loan sale agreement that the Company assumed in connection with a previous business combination were classified as Level 2 based on an internal analysis performed by the Company utilizing the discounted cash flow model and the quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , all of the Company’s notes issued in its securitization transactions were classified as Level 2. The Company believes the fair value of these borrowings, all of which except the Diamond Resorts Tempus Owner Trust 2013 Notes with a face value of $31.0 million (the "Tempus 2013 Notes") were determined with the assistance of an investment banking firm, approximated similar instruments in active markets. The Tempus 2013 Notes were classified as Level 2 as the Company believes the fair value of the Tempus 2013 Notes approximated their carrying value due to the fact that the market for similar instruments remained stable since September 2013, the issuance date of the Tempus 2013 Notes. See "Note 17—Borrowings" to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2015 Form 10-K/A for further detail on these borrowings.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the fair values of all other debt instruments were not calculated, based on the fact that they were either due within one year or were immaterial.

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company also applied the provisions of fair value measurement to various non-recurring measurements for the Company’s financial and non-financial assets and liabilities and recorded the impairment charges. The Company’s non-financial assets consist of property and equipment, which are recorded at cost, net of depreciation, unless impaired, and assets held for sale, which are recorded at the lower of cost or their estimated fair value less costs to sell.

The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows (in thousands):

Note 21 — Stock-Based Compensation

On May 19, 2015, the Company held its 2015 annual meeting of stockholders, at which the Company's stockholders approved the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). The Equity Incentive Plan is a broad-based plan under which 8,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized for issuance for awards, including pursuant to awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), stock options, deferred stock and stock appreciation rights to the officers, employees, consultants, advisors and directors of the Company. As of June 30, 2016 , 6,934,026 shares remained available for issuance as new awards under the Equity Incentive Plan.

Stock Options

The Company accounts for its stock options issued to its employees and non-employee directors in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation." All such stock options contain service-only vesting conditions and the associated compensation expense is measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized in the statements of income and comprehensive income over the expected term during which the employees (including, from an accounting perspective, non-employee directors in their capacity as such) of the Company provide service in exchange for the award.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of the stock options granted to its employees and non-employee directors. The expected volatility was calculated based on the historical volatility of the stock prices for a group of identified peer companies for the expected term of the stock options on the grant date (which is significantly greater than the volatility of the S&P 500® index as a whole during the same period) due to the lack of historical stock trading prices of the Company. The average expected option life represented the period of time the stock options were expected to be outstanding at the issuance date based on management’s estimate using the simplified method prescribed under the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14: "Share-Based Payment" ("SAB 14") for employee grants. The risk-free interest rate was calculated based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield with a remaining term that approximated the expected option life assumed at the date of issuance. The expected annual dividend per share was 0% based on the Company’s expected dividend rate.

The Company did not issue any stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Note 23 — Net Income Per Share (Restated - See Note 3)

The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share." Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income for common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income by weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive shares of common stock, such as shares of common stock underlying stock options and shares of restricted common stock.

Potentially dilutive shares of common stock are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all options are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The amount of shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities.

Approximately 1.2 million shares underlying stock options for each of the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016 were excluded from the net income per share computation, as their effect would be antidilutive under the treasury stock method. No shares underlying stock options for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 were excluded from the net income per share computation.

Approximately 0.2 million shares of restricted stock and RSUs for each of the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016 were excluded from the net income per share computation, as their effect would be antidilutive under the treasury stock method. No restricted stock or RSUs for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 were excluded from the net income per share computation.

Note 24 — Business Combinations

On October 16, 2015, the Company completed the Gold Key Acquisition and acquired five management contracts, real property interests, unsold Vacation Interests to sell to existing members and potential customers and other assets, adding six additional managed resorts to the Company’s resort network and new owner-families to the Company’s owner base, in exchange for a cash purchase price of $167.9 million and the assumption of certain non-interest-bearing liabilities. At the closing of the Gold Key Acquisition, $6.2 million was deposited into an escrow account to support the Company’s obligations under a default recovery agreement, and is classified as restricted cash on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company assumed $15.5 million of contingent consideration in connection with this default recovery agreement, which was recorded as accrued liabilities, with an offsetting amount in prepaid expenses and other assets, net.

The Company accounted for the Gold Key Acquisition as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations" ("ASC 805"). As of October 16, 2015, the acquisition was recorded based on the original preliminary appraisal; accordingly, provisional amounts were assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary appraisal was developed in accordance with the Company's policies, which were also the basis for the valuation of previous business combinations. Since the purchase price exceeded the fair value of identifiable assets, in accordance with ASC 805, the Company initially recorded $73.9 million in goodwill, which was primarily attributable to expected synergies from the operations acquired in connection with the Gold Key Acquisition and the Company's existing operations.

Intrawest Acquisition

On January 29, 2016, the Company completed the Intrawest Acquisition and acquired management contracts, Vacation Interests notes and other receivables, real property interests, unsold Vacation Interests and other assets, adding nine managed resorts located in the U.S., Canada and Mexico to the Company's resort network and new owner-families to the Company’s owner base, in exchange for $84.6 million in cash plus the assumption of certain non-interest-bearing liabilities.

Note 25 — Segment Reporting (Restated - See Note 3)

The Company presents its results of operations in two segments: (i) hospitality and management services, which includes operations related to the management of resort properties and the Diamond Collections, operation of the Clubs, food and beverage venues owned and managed by the Company and the provision of other services; and (ii) Vacation Interests sales and financing, which includes operations relating to the marketing and sales of Vacation Interests, as well as the consumer financing activities related to such sales. While certain line items reflected on the statements of income and comprehensive income fall completely into one of these business segments, other line items relate to revenues or expenses that are applicable to more than one segment. For line items that are applicable to more than one segment, revenues or expenses are allocated by management, which involves significant estimates. Certain expense items (principally corporate interest expense, depreciation and amortization and provision for income taxes) are not, in management’s view, allocable to either of these business segments, as they apply to the entire Company. In addition, general and administrative expenses (which exclude hospitality and management services related overhead that is recovered from the HOAs and the Diamond Collections) are not allocated to either of these business segments because, historically, management has not allocated these expenses for purposes of evaluating the Company’s different operational divisions. Accordingly, these expenses are presented under corporate and other.

Management believes that it is impracticable to allocate specific assets and liabilities related to each business segment. In addition, management does not review balance sheets by business segment as part of their evaluation of operating segment performances. Consequently, no balance sheet segment reports have been presented.

The following table presents revenues and income before provision for income taxes for the Company's reportable segments (in thousands):

OF OPERATIONS

This report contains forward-looking statements, which are covered by the "Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements" provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We have tried to identify forward-looking statements in this report by using words such as “anticipates", “estimates", “expects", “intends", “plans” and “believes", and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will", “should", “would", “may” and “could.” These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to our future financial performance, our business prospects and strategy, anticipated financial position, liquidity and capital needs and other similar matters. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict.

Our actual results may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report as a result of various factors, including, among others:

•

risks associated with the Pending Merger by affiliates of Apollo, including uncertainty as to whether the conditions to closing the transaction will be satisfied; the impact of the transaction on our business, financial and operating results and relationships with our employees, suppliers and customers (in particular, HOAs and prospective purchasers of vacation ownership interests); factors affecting the feasibility and timing of the transaction, including, without limitation, required third-party consents and regulatory approvals; the parties’ ability to close the transaction; and the impact on our business and the price of our common stock if the transaction were not consummated; See "—Overview—Significant 2016 Developments—Exploration of Strategic Alternatives and the Pending Merger" for the definition of and further detail on the Pending Merger.


•	risks related to the Restatement, including, without limitation, potential inquiries from the SEC and/or the New York Stock Exchange, the potential adverse effect on the price of our common stock and possible claims by our stockholders or otherwise;


•	adverse trends or disruptions in economic conditions generally or in the vacation ownership, vacation rental and travel industries;


•	adverse changes to, or interruptions in, relationships with our affiliates and other third parties, including termination of our hospitality management contracts;


•	our ability to maintain an optimal inventory of VOIs for sale overall, as well as in eight multi-resort trusts and 1 single-resort trust (collectively, the "Diamond Collections");


•	our use of structures for development of new inventory in a manner consistent with our asset-light model, including the risk in these structures that we will not control development activities or the timing of inventory delivery and the risk that the third parties do not fulfill their obligations to us;


•	our ability to sell, securitize or borrow against our consumer loans;


•	changes in the default rates of our consumer loan portfolio;


•	decreased demand from prospective purchasers of VOIs;


•	adverse events, including weather-related and other natural disasters and crises, or trends in vacation destinations and regions where the resorts in our network are located;


•	changes in our senior management;


•	our ability to comply with current or future regulations applicable to the vacation ownership industry or any actions by regulatory authorities;


•	the effects of our indebtedness and our compliance with the terms thereof;


•	changes in the interest rate environment and their effects on our outstanding indebtedness;


•	our ability to successfully implement our growth strategy, including our strategy to selectively pursue complementary strategic transactions;


•	risks associated with acquisitions, including difficulty in integrating operations and personnel, disruption of ongoing business and increased expenses;


•	our ability to compete effectively; and

Explanatory Note

The discussion and analysis below gives effect to the Restatement, which reflects a correction in the application of the relative sales value model in accounting for Vacation Interests cost of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Overview

We are a global leader in the hospitality and vacation ownership industry, with a worldwide resort network of 437 destinations located in 35 countries, throughout the world, including the continental United States ("U.S."), Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Africa. Our resort network includes 108 resort properties with approximately 13,000 units that we manage and 309 affiliated resorts and hotels and 20 cruise itineraries, which we do not manage and do not carry our brand, but are a part of our resort network and are available for our members to use as vacation destinations. We offer Vacations for Life ^® --a simple way to acquire a lifetime of vacations at top destinations worldwide. We believe in the power and value of vacations to create lifelong memories and nurture our humanity. They are essential to our well-being.

Significant 2016 Developments

Intrawest Acquisition

On January 29, 2016, we completed the acquisition of the vacation ownership business of Intrawest Resort Club Group from Intrawest Resorts Holdings, Inc., through which we acquired management contracts, Vacation Interests notes and other receivables, real property interests, unsold Vacation Interests and other assets in exchange for $84.6 million in cash plus the assumption of certain non-interest-bearing liabilities, including a $7.4 million inventory repurchase obligation (the "Intrawest Acquisition"). The Intrawest Acquisition added nine managed resorts located in the U.S., Canada and Mexico to our resort network.

Exploration of Strategic Alternatives and the Pending Merger

On February 24, 2016, our board of directors announced that it formed a Strategic Review Committee comprised of independent directors to explore strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value (the "Strategic Alternatives").

On June 29, 2016, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with affiliates of certain funds (the “Apollo Funds”) managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Apollo”), pursuant to which the Apollo Funds will acquire us for $30.25 per share of common stock, or approximately $2.2 billion , subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement ("the Pending Merger"). This transaction is expected to close in the fall of 2016.

Segment Reporting

For financial reporting purposes, we present our results of operations and financial condition in two business segments. The first business segment is hospitality and management services, which includes our operations related to the management of resort properties and Diamond Collections, our operation of the THE Club and other Club offerings (the "Clubs") and the provision of other services. The second business segment, Vacation Interests sales and financing, includes our operations

Table of Contents

relating to the marketing and sales of our VOIs, as well as our consumer financing activities related to such sales. While certain line items reflected on our statements of income and comprehensive income fall completely into one of these business segments, other line items relate to revenues or expenses which are applicable to both segments. For line items that are applicable to both segments, revenues or expenses are allocated by management as described under " Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies " of our consolidated financial statements in our 2015 Form 10-K/A, which involve significant estimates. Certain expense items (principally corporate interest expense, depreciation and amortization and provision for income taxes) are not, in management's view, allocable to either of these business segments as they apply to the entire Company. In addition, general and administrative expenses are not allocated to either of our business segments because historically management has not allocated these expenses (which exclude hospitality and management services related overhead that is allocated to the HOAs and the Diamond Collections) for purposes of evaluating our different operational divisions. Accordingly, these expenses are presented under corporate and other.

Management believes that it is impracticable to allocate specific assets and liabilities related to each business segment. In addition, management does not review balance sheets by business segment as part of its evaluation of operating segment performance. Consequently, no balance sheet segment reports have been presented.

Consolidated Results

Total revenues increased $14.2 million , or 6.1% , to $245.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $231.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 .

Total revenues in our hospitality and management services segment increased by $5.0 million , or 10.4% , to $53.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $48.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 .

Total revenues in our Vacation Interests sales and financing segment increased $9.2 million , or 5.0% , to $191.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $182.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . Revenues in our corporate and other segment were $0.4 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 .

Total costs and expenses increased $32.9 million , or 19.4% , to $202.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $169.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . Total costs and expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 included $4.1 million of non-cash stock-based compensation charges. Total costs and expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 included $4.4 million of non-cash stock-based compensation charges. Excluding the effect of the non-cash stock-based compensation charges, total costs and expenses would have increased $33.2 million , or 20.1% , for the three months ended June 30, 2016 , as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 .

Hospitality and Management Services Segment1

Management and Member Services Revenue . Total management and member services revenue increased $4.1 million , or 9.8% , to $46.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $42.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . Management fees increased primarily as a result of (i) the inclusion of the managed resorts from both the Gold Key Acquisition and the Intrawest Acquisition during the three months ended June 30, 2016 ; and (ii) increases in operating costs at the resort level, which generated higher management fee revenue on a same-store basis from 107 cost-plus management agreements. We also experienced higher revenue from our Club operations due to increased membership dues and higher collection rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 , as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 .

Consolidated Resort Operations Revenue . Consolidated resort operations revenue increased $0.6 million , or 14.6% , to $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was primarily attributable to higher food and beverage revenues at certain restaurants that we own and manage and higher amenities revenue earned at the resorts for which we assumed management responsibilities in connection with the Intrawest Acquisition in January 2016.

Other Revenue. Other revenue increased $0.4 million , or 15.3% , to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was primarily attributable to higher collection fees earned when owners pay to bring their maintenance fee accounts current.

Management and Member Services Expense. Management and member services expense decreased $0.5 million , or 6.8% , to $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . Management and member services expense as a percentage of management and member services revenue was 16.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 , as compared to 19.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . The decrease in management and member service expense was primarily due to the absorption of certain costs as a result of the addition of new management agreements, principally from the Gold Key Acquisition and the Intrawest Acquisition.

Consolidated Resort Operations Expense. Consolidated resort operations expense increased $0.2 million , or 3.6% , to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 .

Vacation Interests Sales and Financing Segment

Vacation Interests Sales, Net. Vacation Interests sales, net increased $5.0 million , or 3.4% , to $155.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $150.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase in Vacation Interests sales, net was attributable to a $14.8 million increase in Vacation Interests sales revenue, partially offset by a $9.8 million increase in our provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue.

The $14.8 million increase in Vacation Interests sales revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 was generated by sales growth on a same-store basis from 48 sales centers primarily attributable to an increase in our VOI sales transactions and average sales price per transaction, the Gold Key Acquisition completed in October 2015, and to a lesser extent, the Intrawest Acquisition completed in January 2016.

The number of tours increased by 11,791 , or 20.7% , to 68,702 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from 56,911 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . Our VOI sales transactions increased by 621 , or 7.3% , to 9,163 during the three months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to 8,542 transactions during the three months ended June 30, 2015 , and VOI average sales price per transaction increased by $645 , or 3.1% , to $21,378 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $20,733 for the

Table of Contents

three months ended June 30, 2015 . Our volume per guest ("VPG", which represents Vacation Interests sales revenue divided by the number of tours) decreased by $261 , or 8.4% , to $2,851 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $3,112 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 , as a result of a lower average closing percentage (which represents the percentage of VOI sales closed relative to the total number of tours at our sales centers). The increase in tours and transactions was primarily attributable to same-store growth, as well as the addition of the Gold Key and the Intrawest sales centers. The increase in average sales price per transaction was due principally to the continued focus on moving customer transactions towards our one-week equivalent sales price and the success of the hospitality driven sales and marketing initiatives, which are based upon the power of vacations for happier and healthier living. Our closing percentage decreased to 13.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from 15.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 partially due to (i) an increase in cancellations resulting from external parties discouraging certain customers from fulfilling their contractual obligations; and (ii) a higher mix of tours to non-owners (in part due to the Gold Key Acquisition), which typically exhibit a lower closing percentage than tours to existing owners.

Provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue increased $9.8 million , or 47.1% , to $30.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $20.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was primarily due to an increase in defaults resulting from external parties discouraging certain borrowers from staying current on their payments, as well as an increase in Vacation Interests sales. The provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales as a percentage of gross Vacation Interests sales was 16.5% and 12.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The weighted average FICO credit scores of loans written during each of the three months ended June 30, 2016 and three months ended June 30, 2015 were 752 . We continue to focus on disciplined underwriting and highly qualified borrowers. The allowance for Vacation Interests notes receivable as a percentage of gross Vacation Interests notes receivable was 20.9% and 22.1% as of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 , respectively.

Interest Revenue . Interest revenue increased $2.8 million , or 15.2% , to $21.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $18.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was primarily attributable to a $5.5 million increase resulting from a larger average outstanding balance in the Vacation Interests notes receivable portfolio (partially due to the acquisition of Vacation Interests notes receivable in connection with the Intrawest Acquisition) during the three months ended June 30, 2016 , as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was partially offset by (i) a decrease of $1.7 million attributable to a reduction in the weighted average interest rate on the portfolio and the increase in defaults; and (ii) a decrease of $1.0 million associated with the increase in amortization of deferred loan origination costs, which is recorded as a reduction to interest revenue. Amortization of deferred loan origination costs was higher during the three months ended June 30, 2016 due to the increase in deferred loan origination costs during the last several years, primarily as a result of higher Vacation Interests sales revenue.

Other Revenue . Other revenue increased $1.3 million , or 9.2% , to $15.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $13.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was primarily due to higher revenue recognized when customers' non-refundable deposits are forfeited upon their failure to close on VOI transactions, higher closing cost revenue as a result of higher Vacations Interests sales revenue and higher loan servicing revenue earned on third-party portfolios.

Vacation Interests Cost of Sales. Vacation Interests cost of sales increased $6.3 million , to $15.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase in Vacation Interests cost of sales was primarily due to: (i) a $0.6 million increase due to an increase in Vacation Interests sales revenue; and (ii) a $5.7 million net increase in cost of sales under the relative sales value method due to (a) a $10.2 million increase due to a proportionately smaller increase in recovered inventory during the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 related to new inventory recovery and assignment agreements ("IRAAs") entered into in 2015 for which second year delinquent maintenance fees were capitalized without adding additional points to the relative sales value model during the three months ended June 30, 2016 (as the points were already included in the model from 2015); (b) a $3.4 million decrease due to a proportionately larger increase in the average selling price per point (a 4.5% increase for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to a 1.3% increase for the three months ended June 30, 2015) resulting from changes in sales mix and pricing increases (see the discussion above under “ — Vacation Interests Sales, Net” and the discussion below under “ — Critical Accounting Policies — Vacation Interests Costs of Sales”); and (c) an offsetting decrease of $1.1 million related to other changes in the relative sales value model, including an increase in the provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue, changes in sales incentives and other estimates.

Vacation Interests cost of sales as a percentage of Vacation Interests sales, net increase d to 10.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from 6.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . See "Critical Accounting Policies, Key Revenue and Expenses and Use of Estimates—Vacation Interests Cost of Sales" for further detail regarding the relative sales value method.

Advertising, Sales and Marketing Expense. Advertising, sales and marketing expense for the second quarter of 2016 was $94.0 million compared to $84.9 million in the second quarter of 2015 . Advertising, sales and marketing expense as a percentage of gross Vacation Interests sales increased 1.0 percentage point to 50.6% from 49.6% . This increase was primarily

Table of Contents

due to additional costs related to sales centers acquired in connection with the Gold Key Acquisition and the Intrawest Acquisition.

Vacation Interests Carrying Cost, Net . Vacation Interests carrying cost, net decreased $2.1 million , or 21.7% , to $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . This decrease was primarily due to an increase in rental revenue as a result of (i) more occupied room nights and higher average daily rates; (ii) an increase in revenue recognized in connection with sampler packages; and (iii) an increase in resort fees generated. This increase was partially offset by (a) additional maintenance fee expense related to inventory that we own, including inventory we recovered pursuant to our IRAAs; (b) an increase in the utilization of member benefits; and (c) higher operating expenses as a result of an increase in rental activity.

Loan Portfolio Expense . Loan portfolio expense increased $0.1 million , or 5.7% , to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 .

Other Operating Expense. Other operating expense increased $0.3 million , or 3.1% , to $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 .

Interest Expense. Interest expense related to securitization notes and Funding Facilities (as defined below) increased $0.7 million , or 16.3% , to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase was primarily attributable to higher average outstanding balances under securitization notes and Funding Facilities during the three months ended June 30, 2016 , as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was partially offset by a lower weighted average interest rate as we paid down securitization notes and Funding Facilities bearing higher interest rates and replaced them with those bearing lower interest rates. Our $200.0 million Credit Suisse conduit facility (the "Credit Suisse Conduit Facility"), our $100.0 million loan sale facility with Quorum Federal Credit Union (the "Quorum Facility") and our $100 million loan facility with Capital One, National Association (the “Capital One Conduit Facility”) are collectively referred to as the “Funding Facilities.” See " — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness" below and "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness" in the 2015 Form 10-K/A for further detail on these borrowings.

Corporate and Other

Interest Revenue. Interest revenue in our corporate and other segment was $0.4 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 .

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense increased $13.7 million , or 58.2% , to $37.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $23.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . For comparison purposes, the following table presents general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 (in thousands), both including (on a U.S. GAAP basis) and excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation charges, and such amounts as a percentage of total revenue:

General and administrative expense excluding non-cash stock-based compensation as a percentage of total revenue	14.0		%	8.7		%

Depreciation and Amortization . Depreciation and amortization increased $2.3 million , or 28.1% , to $10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was primarily

attributable to the addition of assets such as (i) tangible and intangible assets acquired in connection with the Gold Key Acquisition and the Intrawest Acquisition; (ii) information technology related projects and equipment; and (iii) assets related to renovation projects at certain sales centers.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense . Interest expense related to our corporate indebtedness increased $2.8 million , or 37.4% , to $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was mainly attributable to higher interest expense related to the $150.0 million Incremental Term Loan completed in December 2015 (the "Incremental Term Loan") and higher debt issuance amortization and debt discount amortization expense as a result of fees incurred related to new borrowings. See "Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness" for further detail on the Incremental Term Loan.

Income Taxes . Provision for income taxes was $18.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 , as compared to $26.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 . The decrease was due to a reduction in our income before provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015 .

Consolidated Results

Total revenues increased $50.5 million , or 11.8% , to $479.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $429.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Total revenues in our hospitality and management services segment increased by $11.8 million , or 12.4% , to $106.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $94.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Total revenues in our Vacation Interests sales and financing segment increased $38.8 million , or 11.6% , to $372.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $333.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . Revenues in our corporate and other segment decreased $0.1 million , or 4.7% , to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Total costs and expenses increased $55.6 million , or 17.2% , to $379.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $323.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . Total costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 included $8.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation charges. Total costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included $7.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation charges. Excluding the effect of the non-cash stock-based compensation charges, total costs and expenses would have increased $55.1 million , or 17.4% , for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Hospitality and Management Services Segment

Management and Member Services Revenue . Total management and member services revenue increased $9.5 million , or 11.6% , to $92.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $82.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . Management fees increased primarily as a result of the inclusion of the managed resorts from the Gold Key Acquisition during the six months ended June 30, 2016 , and of the managed resorts from the Intrawest Acquisition since their acquisition in January 2016; and increases in operating costs at the resort level, which generated higher management fee revenue on a same-store basis from 107 cost-plus management agreements. We also experienced higher revenue from our Club operations due to increased membership dues and a higher collection rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Consolidated Resort Operations Revenue . Consolidated resort operations revenue increased $1.9 million , or 25.5% , to $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was primarily attributable to higher food and beverage revenues at certain restaurants that we own and manage and higher amenities revenue earned at the resorts for which we assumed management responsibilities in connection with the Intrawest Acquisition in January 2016.

Other Revenue. Other revenue increased $0.3 million , or 7.3% , to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Management and Member Services Expense. Management and member services expense decreased $1.0 million , or 6.1% , to $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . Management and member services expense as a percentage of management and member services revenue was 16.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , as compared to 19.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . This decrease in management and member services expense was primarily due to the absorption of certain costs as a result of the addition of new management agreements, principally from the Gold Key Acquisition and the Intrawest Acquisition.

Consolidated Resort Operations Expense. Consolidated resort operations expense increased $0.3 million , or 2.9% , to $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was primarily attributable to higher food and beverage expense relating to higher revenue earned.

Vacation Interests Sales and Financing Segment

Vacation Interests Sales, Net. Vacation Interests sales, net increased $28.0 million , or 10.2% , to $300.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $272.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase in Vacation Interests sales, net was attributable to a $45.2 million increase in Vacation Interests sales revenue, partially offset by a $17.3 million increase in our provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue.

The $45.2 million increase in Vacation Interests sales revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 was generated by sales growth on a same-store basis from 48 sales centers primarily attributable to an increase in our VOI sales transactions and average sales price; the Gold Key Acquisition; and to a lesser extent, the Intrawest Acquisition.

The number of tours increased by 21,766 , or 21.5% , to 123,158 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from 101,392 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . Our VOI sales transactions increased by 1,790 , or 11.7% , to 17,110 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to 15,320 transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2015 , and VOI average sales price per transaction increased by $998 , or 4.8% , to $21,695 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $20,697 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . Our VPG decreased by $113 , or 3.6% , to $3,014 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $3,127 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 , as a result of a lower average closing percentage. The increase in tours and transactions was primarily attributable to same-store growth, as well as the addition of the Gold Key and the Intrawest sales centers. The increases in average sales price per transaction was due principally to the continued focus on moving customer transactions towards our one-week equivalent sales price and the success of the hospitality driven sales and marketing initiatives, which are based upon the power of vacations for happier and healthier living. Our closing percentage decreased to 13.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from 15.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 partially due to (i) an increase in cancellations resulting from external parties discouraging certain customers from fulfilling their contractual obligations; and (ii) a higher mix of tours to non-owners (in part due to the Gold Key Acquisition), which typically exhibit a lower closing percentage than tours to existing owners.

Provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue increased $17.3 million , or 49.5% , to $52.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $34.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was primarily due to defaults resulting from external parties discouraging certain borrowers from staying current on their payments, as well as an increase in Vacation Interests sale. The provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales as a percentage of gross Vacation

Table of Contents

Interests sales was 14.8% and 11.3% for the first six month of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The weighted average FICO credit scores of loans written during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and six months ended June 30, 2015 were 754 and 756 , respectively. We continue to focus on disciplined underwriting and highly qualified borrowers. The allowance for Vacation Interests notes receivable as a percentage of gross Vacation Interests notes receivable was 20.9% and 22.1% as of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 , respectively.

Interest Revenue . Interest revenue increased $6.6 million , or 17.9% , to $43.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $36.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was primarily attributable to a $10.9 million increase resulting from a larger average outstanding balance in the Vacation Interests notes receivable portfolio (partially due to the acquisition of Vacation Interests notes receivable in connection with the Intrawest Acquisition) during the six months ended June 30, 2016 , as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was partially offset by (i) a decrease of $2.4 million attributable to a reduction in the weighted average interest rate on the portfolio and the increase in defaults; and (ii) a decrease of $1.8 million associated with the increase in amortization of deferred loan origination costs, which is recorded as a reduction to interest revenue. Amortization of deferred loan origination costs was higher during the six months ended June 30, 2016 due to the increase in deferred loan origination costs during the last several years, primarily as a result of higher Vacation Interests sales revenue.

Other Revenue . Other revenue increased $4.3 million , or 17.7% , to $28.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $24.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was primarily due to higher closing cost revenue as a result of higher Vacations Interests sales revenue, higher revenue recognized when customers' non-refundable deposits are forfeited upon their failure to close on VOI transactions and higher revenue related to fees earned on our branded credit card. Furthermore, non-cash incentives increased $0.6 million to $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $10.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . Non-cash incentives as a percentage of gross Vacation Interests sales remained relatively flat at 3.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to 3.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Vacation Interests Cost of Sales. Vacation Interests cost of sales increased $13.9 million , to $27.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $13.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase in Vacation Interests cost of sales was primarily due to: (i) a $3.4 million increase due to an increase in Vacation Interests sales revenue; and (ii) a $10.5 million net increase under the relative sales value method due to (a) a $13.4 million increase due to a proportionately smaller increase in recovered points during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 related to new IRAAs entered into in 2015 for which second year delinquent maintenance fees were capitalized without adding additional points to the relative sales value model during the three months ended June 30, 2016 (as the points were already included in the model from 2015); (b) a $1.6 million decrease due to a proportionately larger increase in the average selling price per point (a 3.0% increase for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to a 2.5% increase for the six months ended June 30, 2015) resulting from changes in sales mix and pricing increases during the six months ended June 30, 2016 (see the discussion above under “ — Vacation Interests Sales, Net” and the discussion below under “--Critical Accounting Policies — Vacation Interests Costs of Sales”); (c) an offsetting decrease of $1.6 million related to other changes in the relative sales value model, including an increase in the provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue, changes in sales incentives and other estimates; and (d) a $0.3 million increase due to the Intrawest Acquisition during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Vacation Interests cost of sales as a percentage of Vacation Interests sales, net increased to 9.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from 4.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . See "Critical Accounting Policies, Key Revenue and Expenses and Use of Estimates—Vacation Interests Cost of Sales" for further detail regarding the relative sales value method.

Advertising, Sales and Marketing Expense. Advertising, sales and marketing expense was $180.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $153.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . Advertising, sales and marketing expense as a percentage of gross Vacation Interests sales increased 1.4 percentage point to 51.2% from 49.8% . This increase was primarily due to additional costs related to sales centers acquired in connection with the Gold Key Acquisition and the Intrawest Acquisition. In addition, we incurred incremental expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2016 in connection with the Diamond Resorts Invitational, a nationally-televised golf and entertainment event that supported our Events of a Lifetime ^TM program and generated substantial brand awareness. No such event occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Vacation Interests Carrying Cost, Net . Vacation Interests carrying cost, net decreased $7.2 million , or 36.9% , to $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . This decrease was primarily due to an increase in rental revenue as a result of (i) more occupied room nights and higher average daily rates; (ii) an increase in revenue recognized in connection with sampler packages; and (iii) an increase in resort fees generated. This increase was partially offset by (a) additional maintenance fee expense related to inventory that we own, including inventory we recovered pursuant to our IRAAs; (b) an increase in the utilization of member benefits; and (c) higher operating expenses as a result of an increase in rental activity.

Loan Portfolio Expense . Loan portfolio expense increased $1.1 million , or 27.1% , to $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was primarily attributable to the growth of the notes receivable portfolio.

Other Operating Expense. Other operating expense increased $1.2 million , or 9.7% , to $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . Non-cash incentives increased $0.6 million to $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $10.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . Non-cash incentives as a percentage of gross Vacation Interests sales remained relatively flat at 3.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to 3.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . In addition, bank and credit card charges incurred in connection with the VOI transactions increased as a result of higher Vacations Interests sales revenue.

Interest Expense. Interest expense related to securitization notes and Funding Facilities increased $1.6 million , or 19.9% , to $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The increase was primarily attributable to higher average outstanding balances under securitization notes and Funding Facilities (partially due to the completion of the Capital One Conduit Facility) during the six months ended June 30, 2016 , as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was partially offset by a lower weighted average interest rate as we paid down securitization notes and Funding Facilities bearing higher interest rates and replaced them with those bearing lower interest rates.

Corporate and Other

Interest Revenue. Interest revenue in our corporate and other segment decreased $0.1 million , or 4.7% , to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense increased $9.2 million , or 16.4% , to $65.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $55.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . For comparison purposes, the following table presents general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 (in thousands), both including (on a U.S. GAAP basis) and excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation charges, and such amounts as a percentage of total revenue:



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015
General and administrative expense	$	64,960		$	55,787
Less: Non-cash stock-based compensation	(5,655		)	(5,880		)
General and administrative expense excluding non-cash stock-based compensation	$	59,305		$	49,907

General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue	13.5		%	13.0		%
General and administrative expense excluding non-cash stock-based compensation	12.4		%	11.6		%

The increase in general and administrative expense (excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation charges) as a percentage of total revenue was mainly attributable to (i) $11.1 million of legal, investment banking and other costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily in connection with the strategic review that resulted in the execution of the Merger Agreement; and (ii) incremental expenses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2016 resulting from the Gold Key Acquisition and the Intrawest Acquisition; partially offset by (iii) a $7.8 million cash charge incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2015 related to the termination of our services agreement with JHJM Nevada I, LLC ("JHJM"), an entity controlled by Stephen J. Cloobeck, our Chairman of the Board.

Depreciation and Amortization . Depreciation and amortization increased $4.3 million , or 25.1% , to $21.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $17.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was primarily

attributable to the addition of assets during the six months ended June 30, 2016 such as (i) tangible and intangible assets acquired in connection with the Gold Key Acquisition and the Intrawest Acquisition; (ii) information technology related projects and equipment; and (iii) assets related to renovation projects at certain sales centers.

Interest Expense . Interest expense related to our corporate indebtedness increased $5.3 million , or 35.1% , to $20.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was mainly attributable to higher interest expense related to the Incremental Term Loan and higher debt issuance amortization and debt discount amortization expense as a result of fees incurred related to new borrowings.

Income Taxes . Provision for income taxes was $41.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , as compared to $45.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The decrease was due to a reduction in our income before provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We had $228.8 million and $290.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been cash from operations and the financings discussed below.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , net cash provided by operating activities was $57.9 million and was the result of net income of $58.7 million and non-cash revenues and expenses totaling $106.6 million , offset by other changes in operating assets and liabilities that resulted in a net use of cash of $107.4 million . The significant non-cash revenues and expenses included (i) $52.2 million in the provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue; (ii) $21.4 million in depreciation and amortization; (iii) $11.2 million in deferred income taxes, primarily related to current favorable tax law regarding recognition of income from financed Vacation Interests sales and the utilization of our net operating loss carry forwards ("NOLs"); (iv) $8.3 million in stock-based compensation expense; (v) $8.0 million in amortization of capitalized loan origination costs and portfolio premiums (net of discounts); (vi) $4.2 million in amortization of capitalized financing costs and original issue discounts; and (vii) $1.6 million in loss on foreign currency exchange, partially offset by $0.4 million in gain on disposal of assets.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , net cash provided by operating activities was $86.0 million and was the result of net income of $60.0 million and non-cash revenues and expenses totaling $90.4 million , partially offset by other changes in operating assets and liabilities that resulted in a net use of cash of $64.4 million . The significant non-cash revenues and expenses included (i) $34.9 million in the provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue; (ii) $21.9 million in deferred income taxes, primarily as a result of the provision for income taxes recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2015 ; (iii) $17.1 million in depreciation and amortization; (iv) $7.7 million in stock-based compensation expense; (v) $6.2 million in amortization of loan origination costs and portfolio premiums; and (vi) $2.8 million in amortization of capitalized financing costs and original issue discounts.

The increase in the net use of cash as a result of changes in operating assets and liabilities from the six months ended

June 30, 2015 to the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to our decision not to place approximately $57.9

million of Vacation Interest notes receivable in the Funding Facilities, which would have generated in excess of $49.2 million of additional cash during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

We acquire VOI inventory pursuant to our IRAAs, under which we are granted full use of the inventory as a result of delinquent annual maintenance fees or assessments for rental and marketing purposes even if we have not yet recovered the inventory, and we are under no obligation to commence recovery proceedings. Generally, when we recover intervals, we pay from approximately one to three years' worth of annual maintenance fees on such intervals. We have written or oral agreements with most of our European HOAs that provide us similar rights with respect to recovering delinquent VOIs. Additionally, we recover VOIs previously owned by members who default on their consumer loans, whether the consumer loans were originated by us or were acquired from third-parties. After recovery, VOIs are returned to our inventory and become available for sale. Although we recover inventory in the form of intervals as well as points, all inventory recovered is sold in the form of points. These points do not represent interests in individual resorts; rather, they generally represent membership interests in one of the Diamond Collections. Recovered intervals are transferred to one of the Diamond Collections and become part of our points-based system.

In certain geographic areas, we may from time to time also acquire additional VOI inventory through open market purchases, strategic acquisitions or other means. In a majority of our strategic acquisition transactions, we have acquired an ongoing business, consisting of management contracts, unsold VOI inventory and an existing owner base, which has generated immediate cash flows for us. We supplement these inventory acquisition strategies with targeted development projects, particularly in attractive locations where member demand exceeds our existing supply. In these circumstances, we expect that we will generally seek to structure developments in a manner that limits our financial exposure, including by minimizing the amount of time between when we are required to pay for the new VOI inventory and when such inventory is sold.

We used cash of $13.6 million and $18.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, for (i) acquisitions of VOI inventory pursuant to our IRAAs and in open market and bulk VOI inventory purchases; (ii) capitalized legal, title and trust fees related to the recovery of inventory; and (iii) construction of VOI inventory. Of these total cash amounts (which do not reflect our acquisition of inventory in the Intrawest Acquisition), $2.0 million was used for the construction of VOI inventory during the three months ended June 30, 2016 , primarily related to the construction of new units at the Cabo Azul Resort located in San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico and the Beachwoods Resort in Outer Banks, North Carolina (the management contract with respect to such resort was acquired in connection with the Gold Key Acquisition) and the development of the new resort in Kona, Hawaii. In addition, $5.9 million was used for the construction of VOI inventory during the three months ended June 30, 2015 , primarily related to the construction of new units at the Cabo Azul Resort.

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , we used cash of $22.6 million and $35.5 million , respectively, for (i) acquisitions of VOI inventory pursuant to our IRAAs and in open market and bulk VOI inventory purchases; (ii) capitalized legal, title and trust fees related to the recovery of inventory; and (iii) construction of VOI inventory. Of these total cash amounts (which do not reflect our acquisition of inventory in the Intrawest Acquisition), $3.1 million was used for the construction of VOI inventory during the six months ended June 30, 2016 , primarily related to the construction of new units at the Cabo Azul Resort and the Beachwoods Resort and the development of the new resort in Kona, Hawaii. An additional $7.8 million was used for the construction of VOI inventory during the six months ended June 30, 2015 , primarily related to the construction of new units at the Cabo Azul Resort.

For additional information regarding our acquisition of, and other activity related to, unsold Vacation Interests during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 , see “ Note 10 — Unsold Vacation Interests, Net ” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , net cash used in investing activities was $96.9 million , comprised of (i) $84.6 million related to the purchase of assets in connection with the Intrawest Acquisition and (ii) $13.2 million used to purchase property and equipment, primarily associated with information technology related projects and equipment and renovation projects at certain sales centers.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , net cash used in investing activities was $21.2 million , primarily consisting of (i) $9.0 million used to purchase intangible assets, mainly in connection with the acquisition of intangible assets from Mr. Cloobeck and entities previously controlled by Mr. Cloobeck in January 2015, at which time we also terminated the service agreement with JHJM; and (ii) $10.9 million used to purchase property and equipment, primarily associated with information technology related projects and equipment and renovation projects at certain sales centers.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , net cash used in financing activities was $22.1 million . Cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of (i) $175.7 million in repayments on our securitization notes and Funding Facilities; (ii) $7.3 million in repayments on notes payable; and (iii) $2.2 million in debt issuance costs. These amounts were partially offset by cash provided by financing activities consisting of (a) $141.2 million from the issuance of debt under our securitization notes and Funding Facilities, partially due to the completion of the Capital One Conduit Facility; and (b) a $21.7 million decrease in restricted cash.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , net cash used in financing activities was $71.1 million . Cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of (i) $126.3 million in repayments on our securitization notes and Funding Facilities; (ii) $74.1 million for the repurchase of common stock in accordance with the Stock Repurchase Program (see below for the definition and further detail); (iii) $18.1 million in repayments on the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility; (iv) $6.8 million in repayments on notes payable; and (vi) $2.4 million in debt issuance costs. These amounts were partially offset by cash provided by financing activities consisting of (a) $153.5 million from the issuance of debt under our securitization notes and Funding Facilities; (b) $2.2 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options; and (c) a $0.9 million decrease in restricted cash.

A significant portion of the change in cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 , as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 was related to transactions in our securitization notes and Funding Facilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , payments on our securitization and Funding Facilities exceeded borrowings under such facilities by $34.5 million , which resulted in a net use of cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , borrowings on the securitization notes and Funding Facilities exceeded payments under such facilities by $27.2 million . During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we made the decision not to place approximately $57.9 million of Vacation Interest notes receivable in the Funding Facilities, which would have generated in excess of $49.2 million of additional cash during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

On October 28, 2014, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program allowing for the expenditure of up to

$100 million for the repurchase of our common stock (the "Stock Repurchase Program"). The Stock Repurchase Program was originally announced on October 29, 2014 and has no scheduled expiration date.

On July 28, 2015, our board of directors authorized the expenditure of up to an additional $100 million for the repurchase of our common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program. The Senior Credit Facility limits our ability to make restricted payments, including the payment of dividends or expenditures for stock repurchases, subject to specified exceptions based upon our excess cash flow sweep payments determined in accordance with the Senior Credit Facility.

Between November 2014 and December 31, 2015, we repurchased $179.6 million of our common stock in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with our Stock Repurchase Program. There were no repurchases made under the Stock Repurchase Program during the six months ended June 30, 2016 .

(1) Non-recourse indebtedness
(2) Borrowing / funding availability is calculated as the difference between the maximum commitment amount and the outstanding principal balance; however, the actual availability is dependent on the amount of eligible loans that serve as the collateral for such borrowings.

Senior Credit Facility. On May 9, 2014, we entered into a credit agreement (the "Senior Credit Facility Agreement") with Credit Suisse AG, acting as the administrative agent and the collateral agent for various lenders. The Senior Credit Facility Agreement originally provided for a $470.0 million Senior Credit Facility (including a $445.0 million term loan, issued with 0.5% of original issue discount and having a term of seven years and a $25.0 million revolving line of credit having a term of five years). Borrowings pursuant to the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 450 basis points, with a one percent LIBOR floor applicable only to the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility, or an alternate base rate plus 350 basis points and mature on May 9, 2021.

On December 22, 2014, we entered into a First Amendment to the Senior Credit Facility Agreement, which allowed the accelerated use of restricted payments for the Stock Repurchase Program (the “First Amendment”). On December 3, 2015, we entered into a Second Amendment and First Incremental Assumption Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to the Senior Credit Facility Agreement. The Second Amendment provides for the Incremental Term Loan that bears the same interest rate and terms as described for the original term loan above. We received $147.0 million in proceeds upon the closing of the Incremental Term Loan, which was issued with 2.0% original issue discount. See " Note 17—Borrowings" of the 2015 Form 10-K/A for other significant terms and covenant requirements of the Senior Credit Facility.

Covenants in the Senior Credit Facility Agreement requiring us to prepay outstanding amounts under the term loan using a portion of our excess cash flows, and covenants limiting our ability to incur indebtedness, to make certain investments and to pay dividends or make other equity distributions and purchase or redeem capital stock and the financial covenant compliance that is triggered by having more than 25% of the revolving credit commitment outstanding at the end of any quarter, are determined by reference to Adjusted EBITDA for us and our restricted subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2016 , all of our subsidiaries were designated as restricted subsidiaries, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility Agreement.

Table of Contents

Adjusted EBITDA for us and our restricted subsidiaries is calculated in accordance with the Senior Credit Facility Agreement as our net income (loss), plus: (i) corporate interest expense; (ii) provision (benefit) for income taxes; (iii) depreciation and amortization; (iv) Vacation Interests cost of sales; (v) loss on extinguishment of debt; (vi) impairments and other non-cash write-offs; (vii) loss on the disposal of assets; (viii) amortization of loan origination costs; (ix) amortization of net portfolio premiums; and (x) stock-based compensation expense; less (a) gain on the disposal of assets; (b) gain on bargain purchase from business combination; and (c) amortization of net portfolio discounts. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance, in any such case calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Provided below is additional information regarding the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of the Senior Credit Facility Agreement.

Corporate interest expense is added back because interest expense is a function of outstanding indebtedness, not operations, and can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, corporate interest expense can vary greatly from company to company and across periods for the same company; however, in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, interest expense related to lines of credit secured by the Vacation Interests notes receivable generated in the normal course of selling Vacation Interests is not added back to net income (loss) because this borrowing is necessary to support our Vacation Interests sales and finance business.

Loss on extinguishment of debt includes the effect of write-offs of capitalized debt issuance costs and original issue discounts due to payoff or substantial modifications of the terms of our indebtedness. While the amounts recorded by us with respect to these events include both cash and non-cash items, the entire amounts are related to financing events, and not our ongoing operations. Accordingly, these amounts are treated similarly to corporate interest expense and are added back to net income in our Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

Vacation Interests cost of sales is excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA calculation because the method by which we are required to record Vacation Interests cost of sales pursuant to ASC 978 (a method designed for companies that, unlike us, engage in significant timeshare development activity) includes various projections and estimates, which are subject to significant uncertainty. Due to the cumulative “true-up” adjustment required by this method, as discussed below, this method can cause major swings in our reported operating income.

Pursuant to ASC 978, if we review our projections and determine that our estimated Vacation Interests cost of sales was higher (or lower) than our actual Vacation Interests cost of sales for the prior life of the project (which, for us, goes back to our acquisition of Sunterra Corporation in 2007), we apply the higher (or lower) Vacation Interests cost of sales retroactively. In such a case, our Vacation Interests cost of sales for the current period will be increased (or reduced) by the entire aggregate amount by which we underestimated (or overestimated) Vacation Interests cost of sales over such period (reflecting a cumulative adjustment extending back to the beginning of the current period). For additional information regarding how we record Vacation Interests cost of sales, see “ Critical Accounting Policies, Key Revenue and Expenses and Use of Estimates—Vacation Interests Cost of Sales."

Vacation Interests sales revenue does not accrue until collectability is reasonably assured, and is not subject to cumulative adjustments similar to those required in determining Vacation Interests cost of sales pursuant to ASC 978. As a result, Vacation Interests sales revenue is included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, even though Vacation Interests cost of sales is excluded from such calculation.

Stock-based compensation expense is excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA calculation because it represents a non-cash item. We calculate our stock-based compensation expense utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model that is dependent on management's estimate of the expected volatility, the average expected option life, the risk-free interest rate, the expected annual dividend per share and the annual forfeiture rate. A small change in any of the estimates could have a material impact on the stock-based compensation expense. Accordingly, stock-based compensation expense can vary greatly from company to company and across periods for the same company.

In addition to covenants contained in the Senior Credit Facility Agreement, financial covenants governing the Credit Suisse Conduit Facility, the Capital One Conduit Facility and the Diamond Resorts Tempus Owner Trust 2013 Notes issued on November 20, 2013 with a face value of $31.0 million are determined by reference to measures calculated in a manner similar to the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA is not only used for purposes of determining compliance with covenants in our debt-related agreements, but our management also uses our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA: (i) for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget; (ii) to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; (iii) to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; and (iv) as a factor for determining incentive compensation for certain personnel.

Table of Contents

However, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool because, among other things:


•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures;


•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;


•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for income taxes;


•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense for our corporate indebtedness;


•	although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized will often have to be replaced, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements;


•	we make expenditures to replenish VOI inventory (principally pursuant to our IRAAs and in connection with our strategic acquisitions), and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash requirements for these expenditures or certain costs of carrying such inventory (which are capitalized); and


•	other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

We encourage investors and securities analysts to review our U.S. GAAP condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and investors and securities analysts should not rely solely or primarily on Adjusted EBITDA or any other single financial measure to evaluate our liquidity or financial performance.

The following tables present Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated in accordance with, and for purposes of covenants contained in, the Senior Credit Facility Agreement, reconciled to each of (1) our net cash provided by operating activities and (ii) our net income. The tables below present this reconciliation on an actual basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016 ("LTM"). LTM is calculated by adding the applicable financial data for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to the corresponding amount for the year ended December 31, 2015 , and then subtracting the corresponding amount for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . LTM Adjusted EBITDA is presented because, as discussed above, certain covenants in the Senior Credit Facility Agreement are based upon Adjusted EBITDA for us and our restricted subsidiaries for the four most recently ended fiscal quarters. Certain of the line items in the tables below have been restated for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 (see Note 3).

We record Vacation Interests cost of sales using the relative sales value method in accordance with ASC 978, which requires us to make significant estimates which are subject to significant uncertainty. In determining the appropriate amount of costs using the relative sales value method, we rely on complex, multi-year financial models that incorporate a variety of estimated inputs. These models are reviewed on a quarterly basis, and the relevant estimates used in the models are revised based upon historical results and management's new estimates. In addition, see Note 3 for detailed financial information with respect to the Restatement.

We record Vacation Interests cost of sales using the relative sales value method in accordance with ASC 978, which requires us to make significant estimates which are subject to significant uncertainty. In determining the appropriate amount of costs using the relative sales value method, we rely on complex, multi-year financial models that incorporate a variety of estimated inputs. These models are reviewed on a regular basis, and the relevant estimates used in the models are revised based upon historical results and management's new estimates. In addition, see Note 3 for detailed financial information with respect to the Restatement.


(d)	Represents the non-cash charge related to stock-based compensation expense.

Funding Facilities. Historically, our business has depended on the availability of credit to finance the consumer loans we have provided to our customers for the purchase of their VOIs. Typically, these loans have required a minimum cash down payment of 10% of the purchase price at the time of sale; however, selling, marketing and administrative expenses attributable to VOI sales are primarily cash expenses and often exceed the buyer's minimum down payment requirement. Accordingly, the availability of financing facilities for the sale or pledge of these receivables to generate liquidity is a critical factor in our ability to meet our short-term and long-term cash needs. We have historically relied upon our ability to sell receivables in the securitization market in order to generate liquidity and create capacity on our Funding Facilities.

Table of Contents

The terms of the consumer loans we seek to finance are generally longer than the Funding Facilities through which we seek to finance such loans. While the term of our consumer loans is typically ten years, the Funding Facilities typically have a term of less than three years. Although we seek to refinance conduit borrowings in the term securitization markets, we generally access the term securitization markets at least on an annual basis, and rely on the Funding Facilities to provide incremental liquidity between securitization transactions. Thus, we are required to refinance the Funding Facilities between one and four years, which varies depending on the facility, in order to provide adequate liquidity for our consumer finance business.

On May 11, 2016, we entered into a loan facility agreement with Capital One, National Association for a $100 million facility (the “Capital One Conduit Facility”). Borrowings under the Capital One Conduit Facility are secured by certain of our Vacation Interests notes receivable, bear interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.25% and carry a non-use fee of 0.75%. The advance rate on the Vacation Interests notes receivable is limited to 85% of the aggregate face value of eligible loans. The Capital One Conduit Facility has a stated maturity date of May 11, 2020, inclusive of (i) a 30 month loan advance period and (ii) an 18 month amortization period. The facility also provides for a $10 million sub-limit for Canadian-dollar denominated Vacation Interests notes receivable. The Capital One Conduit Facility is non-recourse and contains financial covenants consistent with our other existing financings and customary default provisions.

Securitization transactions. Between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2015 , we completed six securitization transactions with a total face value of $959.6 million. No securitization transactions were completed during the six months ended June 30, 2016 .

Notes Payable. Notes Payable primarily consist of unsecured notes to finance premiums on our insurance policies. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , we issued two unsecured notes to finance premiums on certain insurance policies, both of which carry an interest rate of 2.5% per annum.

See " Note 17—Borrowings " to our audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2015 Form 10-K/A for further detail on our borrowings.

Future Capital Requirements . Over the next 12 months, we expect that our cash flows from operations and the borrowings under the Funding Facilities and the Senior Credit Facility will be sufficient to cover the interest payments due under our indebtedness and fund our operating expenses and other obligations.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the growth of our consumer financing activities, the expansion of our hospitality management operations and potential acquisitions. Our ability to secure short-term and long-term financing in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including our future profitability, the performance of our consumer loan receivable portfolio, our relative levels of debt and equity, the credit ratings of our corporate indebtedness and securitization notes and Funding Facilities and the overall condition of the credit and securitization markets. There can be no assurances that any such financing will be available to us. If we are unable to secure short-term and long-term financing in the future or if cash flows from operations are less than expected, our liquidity and cash flows would be materially and adversely affected, we may be required to curtail our sales and marketing operations and we may not be able to implement our growth strategy.

Deferred Taxes . As of December 31, 2015 , we had available $123.7 million of unused federal NOLs, $159.1 million of unused state NOLs, and $113.0 million of foreign NOLs with expiration dates from 2021 through 2033 (except for certain foreign NOLs that do not expire) that may be applied against future taxable income, subject to certain limitations. As a result of our initial public offering completed in July 2013 and the resulting change in ownership, our federal NOLs are limited under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. State NOLs are subject to similar limitations in many cases.

We expect the rate at which we pay cash taxes to be substantially less than the statutory tax rate for the foreseeable future.

Commitments and Contingencies. From time to time, we are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. See “ Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in the 2015 Form 10-K/A for further detail.

Table of Contents

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements . As of June 30, 2016 , we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K).

Contractual Obligations. See " Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Contractual Obligations" in the 2015 Form 10-K/A for a summary of our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2015 . There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business in contractual obligations from December 31, 2015 through June 30, 2016 .

Critical Accounting Policies, Key Revenue and Expenses and Use of Estimates

The discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Critical accounting policies are those policies that, in management's view, are most important in the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations.

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of our analysis form the basis for making assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and the impact of such differences may be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Those critical accounting policies and estimates that we believe are the most subjective and require the most significant judgment are discussed further below.

Provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests notes receivable — Significant estimates are used by us to record a provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests notes receivable. This provision is calculated as projected gross losses for originated Vacation Interests notes receivable, taking into account estimated VOI recoveries. We apply our historical default rates based on FICO credit score ranges (bands) of the individual customers to our Vacation Interests notes receivable population and evaluate other factors such as economic conditions, industry trends, defaults and past due aging reports to analyze and determine the adequacy of the allowance. Historically, our actual Vacation Interests notes receivable losses have not differed materially from these estimates; however, if actual Vacation Interests notes receivable losses were to differ materially from these estimates in the future, our future results of operations could be adversely impacted. The allowance for Vacation Interests notes receivable as a percentage of gross Vacation Interests notes receivable was 20.9% and 22.1% as of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 , respectively.

The following illustrates the sensitivity of Vacation Interests sales, net for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to a 100 basis point change in the default rates by FICO band, assuming other estimates included in the provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests notes receivable remained constant:



	Amount of Increase/(decrease) to Vacation Interests sales, net (in thousands)			Percentage of Increase/(decrease) to Vacation Interests sales, net
Default rates by FICO band - 100 basis point increase	$	(14,825	)	(9.3	)%
Default rates by FICO band - 100 basis point decrease	$	14,825		9.3	%

Vacation Interests Cost of Sales —At the time we record Vacation Interests sales revenue, we record the related Vacation Interests cost of sales (which was $15.7 million and $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and $27.0 million and $13.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015), all of which is allocated to the Vacation Interests sales and financing business segment. We record Vacation Interests cost of sales using the relative sales value method in accordance with ASC 978. This method, which was originally designed more for developers of timeshare resorts, requires us to make a number of projections and estimates, which are subject to uncertainty, in order to determine the amounts that must be expensed for each dollar of Vacation Interests sales with respect to a particular phase. We have identified four phases for which we maintain separate relative sales value models. The phases were determined based upon the underlying inventory in each Collection. We are required to prepare a forecast of sales and certain costs for the entire project's life cycle. These forecasts require us to estimate, among other things, the costs to acquire (or if applicable, build) additional VOIs, the total revenues expected to be earned on the project (including estimations of future sales price per point based on a trailing twelve month average (reflecting our typically quarterly price increases) and the aggregate number of points to be sold), future sales mix

Table of Contents

based on a trailing twelve month average of sales by location and package size, the provision for uncollectible Vacation Interests sales revenue and sales incentives based on a trailing twelve month average, and the projected future cost and volume of recoveries of VOIs. Then, these costs as a percentage of Vacation Interests sales revenue are determined and that percentage is applied retroactively to all prior sales and is applied to sales within the current period and future periods with respect to a particular project. These forecasts are reviewed on a quarterly basis, and the relevant estimates used in the forecasts are revised (if necessary) based upon historical results and management's new estimates. If any estimates are revised, we are required to adjust our Vacation Interests cost of sales using the revised estimates, and the entire adjustment required to correct Vacation Interests cost of sales over the life of the project to date is taken in the period in which the estimates are revised. Accordingly, small changes in any of the numerous estimates in the model (particularly changes in estimates for the factors relating to the cost to acquire additional VOIs and the total revenues expected to be earned on projects) can have a significant financial statement impact, positively or negatively, due to the retroactive adjustment required by ASC 978. See " Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ” in the 2015 Form 10-K/A for further detail.

The following illustrates the sensitivity of Vacation Interests costs of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to a one percent change in the estimated future retail price per point and the estimated cost per point, assuming other estimates included in these forecasts remained constant:



	Amount of increase/(decrease) to Vacation Interests cost of sales (in thousands)			Percentage increase/ (decrease) to Vacation Interests cost of sales
Estimated future retail price per point - 1% increase	$	(1,849	)	(11.2	)%
Estimated future retail price per point - 1% decrease	$	1,849		11.2	%
Estimated cost per point - 1% increase	$	3,691		22.4	%
Estimated cost per point - 1% decrease	$	(3,691	)	(22.4	)%

For further detail on our critical accounting policies and related estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue, unsold Vacation Interests, net, stock-based compensation expense, income taxes and business combinations, as well as key revenue and expense items reported in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, see " Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ” in the 2015 Form 10-K/A.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Inflation. Inflation and changing prices have not had a material impact on our revenues, income (loss) from operations, and net income (loss) during any of our three most recent fiscal years; however, to the extent inflationary trends affect short-term interest rates, a portion of our debt service costs, as well as the rates we charge on our consumer loans, may be affected.

Interest Rate Risk. We are exposed to interest rate risk through our variable rate indebtedness, including the Credit Suisse Conduit Facility, the Senior Credit Facility and the Capital One Conduit Facility. We have attempted to manage our interest rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments. For example, we are generally required to hedge 90% of the outstanding note balance under the Credit Suisse Conduit Facility. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes and do not enter into derivative transactions that would be considered speculative positions. To manage exposure to counterparty credit risk in interest rate swap and cap agreements, we enter into agreements with highly-rated institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of such agreements. At June 30, 2016 , our derivative financial instruments consisted of two interest rate swap agreements, which did not qualify for hedge accounting. Interest differentials resulting from these agreements are recorded on an accrual basis as an adjustment to interest expense.

To the extent we assume variable rate indebtedness in the future, any increase in interest rates beyond amounts covered under any corresponding derivative financial instruments, particularly if sustained, could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position. We cannot assure that any hedging transactions we enter into will adequately mitigate the adverse effects of interest rate increases or that counterparties in those transactions will honor their obligations.

Additionally, we derive net interest income from our consumer financing activities to the extent the interest rates we charge our customers who finance their purchases of VOIs exceed the variable interest rates we pay to our lenders. Because our

Table of Contents

Vacation Interests notes receivable generally bear interest at fixed rates, future increases in interest rates may result in a decline in our net interest income.

As of June 30, 2016 , 60.4% of our borrowings, or $704.1 million , bore interest at variable rates. However, all of our variable-rate borrowings require a minimum interest rate floor when LIBOR is below certain levels. Assuming the level of variable-rate borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2016 , and assuming a one percentage point increase in the 2016 average interest rate payable on these borrowings, we estimate that our interest expense would have increased and pre-tax income would have decreased by approximately $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 .

Foreign Currency Translation Risk. In addition to our operations throughout the U.S., we conduct operations in international markets from which we receive, at least in part, revenues in foreign currencies. For example, we receive Euros and British Pounds Sterling in connection with operations in our European managed resorts and European VOI sales, Mexican Pesos in connection with our operations in Mexico, and Canadian Dollars in connection with our operations in Canada acquired in conjunction with the Intrawest Acquisition. Exchange rates have been volatile in recent years and such volatility may persist due to economic and political circumstances globally and in particular countries, including individual Euro zone countries. In addition, the approval of the Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom in June 2016 to leave the European Union has resulted in significant currency exchange rate fluctuations, and the value of the British Pound Sterling, in particular, has sharply declined as compared to the U.S. Dollar and other currencies. This volatility in foreign currencies may continue as the United Kingdom negotiates and executes its exit from the European Union, and the time period over which this will occur is uncertain.

Because our financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, fluctuations in the value of the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Mexican Peso and Canadian Dollar against the U.S. dollar have had, and will continue to have an effect which may be significant, on our reported financial results. A decline in the value of any of the foreign currencies in which we receive revenues, including the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Mexican Peso and Canadian dollar, against the U.S. dollar will tend to reduce our reported revenues and expenses, while an increase in the value of any such foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar will tend to increase our reported revenues and expenses. Variations in exchange rates could affect the comparability of our financial results between financial periods; however, since sales of Vacation Interests in our U.S., Caribbean and Mexican resorts, virtually all of which are to customers in the U.S. and Canada and are transacted in U.S. dollars, have historically accounted for more than 90% of our consolidated Vacation Interests sales revenue, and management and member services revenue is similarly concentrated, we do not expect the variations in exchange rates to have a material impact on financial results.

For additional information on the potential impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our financial results, see "Part I Item 1A. Risk Factors—Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may affect our reported results of operations" in the 2015 Form 10-K/A.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

In connection with their review of our second quarter 2016 financial statements, our independent registered public accounting firm, BDO USA, LLP, expressed the view that the Company may not have correctly applied the relative sales value inventory valuation model in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for 2014 and subsequent periods.

In connection with our review of this matter and subsequent determination that we needed to undertake the Restatement, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to the application of complex technical accounting standards to our accounting for Vacation Interests cost of sales (specifically with respect to accounting for the change related to our internal Vacation Interests inventory management strategy as discussed in Note 3). Solely as a result of the identification of this material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and within the time frames specified in the SEC's rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection with the Restatement, management has implemented a remediation plan to make the necessary corrections to our application of the relative sales value inventory valuation model to properly reflect the change related to our internal Vacation Interests inventory management strategy discussed in Note 3 as a change in accounting estimate. The corrected application of the model has been utilized, with appropriate review procedures in place, in addition to the creation of

Table of Contents

appropriate memoranda and documentation supporting management’s conclusions, in connection with the Restatement and the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. While we have taken these actions, the matter cannot be deemed to be remediated until application of the model is again reviewed in connection with our issuance of future financial statements.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. For further information regarding the Restatement, see Note 3.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies and procedures.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

A description of our risk factors can be found in " Item 1A. Risk Factors " included in the 2015 Form 10-K/A. There were no material changes to those risk factors during the six months ended June 30, 2016, except that the first two risk factors are hereby added and the remaining risk factors are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

There are risks associated with the Merger Agreement entered into with affiliates of Apollo Funds managed by affiliates of Apollo, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals and timing for completion of the transactions contemplated thereby.

On June 29, 2016, we entered into the Merger Agreement to effectuate the Pending Merger. On July 14, 2016, entities affiliated with the Apollo Funds commenced a tender offer to acquire all of our common stock in connection with the Pending Merger. Completion of the tender offer is conditional upon, among other things, the tender of at least one more share of common stock than 50% of our outstanding shares (the “minimum condition”) and certain regulatory approvals. There are a number of risks and uncertainties relating to the Pending Merger, including the following:


•	uncertainties as to the timing of receipt of required regulatory approvals and of the completion of the tender offer and the merger;


•	the possibility that the tender offer will fail to meet the minimum condition or that various other conditions to the completion of the tender offer and the merger set forth in the Merger Agreement may not be satisfied or waived;


•	the risk that the entities affiliated with the Apollo Funds party to the Merger Agreement will not perform their obligations under the Merger Agreement; and


•	the possibility that the Pending Merger may otherwise be delayed or may not be completed at all.

Any delay in completing, or the failure to complete, the Pending Merger could have a negative impact on our business, the market price of our common stock, and our relationships with our employees, suppliers and customers (in particular, HOAs and prospective purchasers of vacation ownership interests). During the pendency of the Pending Merger, we also run the risk of loss of key employees, disruption in normal business relationships, and substantial distraction of management attention. We also have incurred, and will incur, significant expenses associated with the transaction with Apollo, including fees of

Table of Contents

professional advisors, and could also be involved in litigation relating to the transaction, which could be costly and disruptive to our business.

The restatement of our historical financial statements may have an adverse effect on our stock price and subject us to claims by our stockholders or otherwise.

We have restated certain historical financial statements to reflect correction in the application of the relative sales value method in accounting for Vacation Interests cost of sales. We have also determined that, solely as a result of our prior application of the relative sales value method in accounting for Vacation Interests cost of sales, we had a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and that, accordingly, our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of certain prior reporting periods, even though our management had previously determined that they were effective. It is difficult to predict all of the ramifications to us from this restatement. Although we have now completed the restatement, it is possible that we will receive inquiries from the SEC and/or the New York Stock Exchange regarding our restated financial statements or related matters, which could consume a significant amount of our resources. Moreover, many companies that have been required to restate their historical financial statements have experienced declines in stock prices and claims by stockholders, which can be expensive to defend and divert management attention and resources. We may suffer similar consequences from our restatement.

Our international operations are subject to risks not generally applicable to our North American operations.

We manage resorts in, and have sales and marketing operations in, 13 countries. Our operations in foreign countries are subject to a number of particular risks, including:


•	exposure to local economic conditions;


•	potential adverse changes in the diplomatic relations of foreign countries with the U.S.;


•	hostility from local populations;


•	restrictions and taxes on the withdrawal of foreign investment and earnings;


•	the imposition of government policies and regulations against business and real estate ownership by foreigners;


•	foreign investment restrictions or requirements;


•	limitations on our ability to legally enforce our contractual rights in foreign countries;


•	regulations restricting the sale of VOIs, as described in “Business - Governmental Regulation;”


•	conditions that negatively shape public perception of travel, including travel-related accidents and outbreaks of pandemic or contagious diseases, such as Ebola, avian flu, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), H1N1 (swine flu) and the Zika virus;


•	foreign exchange restrictions and the impact of exchange rates on our business;


•	conflicts between local laws and U.S. laws;


•	withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by our subsidiaries; and


•	changes in and application of foreign taxation structures, including value added taxes.

In addition, international markets, such as China, have recently experienced moderation in their economic growth and an increase in market volatility, which may have a negative effect on our managed resorts and sales and marketing operations located in, and our growth plans for, these international markets. The result of the referendum in June 2016 to leave the European Union may have a negative effect on our results of operations, whether the British government proceeds and makes the formal application to the European Union to leave or not. A majority of our European Collection members are British citizens. At this time, we are not able to predict the impact that this vote will have on the economy in Europe, including in the United Kingdom, or on the British Pound Sterling or other European exchange rates. Weakening of economic conditions or economic uncertainties in the United Kingdom or Europe may have a negative effect on our sales and marketing operations located in the United Kingdom and Europe, and may impact the collection of maintenance fees from existing members as exchange rates become unfavorable to United Kingdom residents.

We are also subject to the laws and regulations of the European Union and countries in which we operate resorts. See “"Item 1. Business—Business—Governmental Regulation” of our 2015 Form 10-K/A. Our international business operations are also subject to various anti-corruption laws and regulations, including restrictions imposed by the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”). The FCPA and similar anti-corruption laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or generating business. We cannot provide assurance that our internal controls and procedures will always protect us from the reckless or criminal acts that may be committed by our employees or third parties with whom we work. If we are found to be liable for violations of the FCPA or similar anti-corruption laws in international jurisdictions, criminal or civil penalties could be imposed on us.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may affect our reported results of operations.

In addition to our operations in the U.S., we conduct operations in international markets from which we receive, at least in part, revenues in foreign currencies. For example, we receive Euros and British Pound Sterling in connection with our European managed resorts and European VOI sales and Mexican Pesos in connection with our operations in Mexico. Because our financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, fluctuations in the value of the Euro and British Pound Sterling against the U.S. dollar have had and will continue to have an effect, which may be significant, on our reported financial results. Exchange rates have been volatile in recent years and such volatility may persist due to economic and political circumstances in individual Euro zone countries. In addition, the Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom has resulted in significant currency exchange rate fluctuations, and the value of the British Pound Sterling, in particular, has sharply declined as compared to the U.S. Dollar and other currencies. This volatility in foreign currencies may continue as the United Kingdom negotiates and executes its exit from the European Union, and the time period over which this will occur is uncertain.

In connection with our Intrawest Acquisition in January, we expanded our international operations by acquiring VOI sales operations and management contracts at six resorts in Canada. See “Note 1 - Background, Business and Basis of Presentation - Intrawest Acquisition” and “Note 24 - Business Combinations - Intrawest Acquisition” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report for the definition of and further detail on the Intrawest Acquisition.

A decline in the value of any of the foreign currencies in which we receive revenues, including the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Mexican Peso or Canadian dollar, against the U.S. dollar will tend to reduce our reported revenues and expenses, while an increase in the value of any such foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar will tend to increase our reported revenues and expenses. Variations in exchange rates can significantly affect the comparability of our financial results between financial periods.

We are also exploring further international expansion opportunities in markets such as Asia and Latin America, including pursuing acquisitions in those geographic areas, or seeking out co-branding opportunities, joint ventures or other strategic alliances with local or regional operators in those markets. Any such international expansion would result in increased foreign exchange risk, as described above, as the revenue received from such expansion would primarily be in non-U.S. currency.

We are a party to certain litigation matters and are subject to additional litigation, investigatory and other risk.

From time to time, we or our subsidiaries are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims and proceedings relating to our VOI sales, consumer finance business and hospitality and management services operations. Should there be increased scrutiny of our company or the vacation ownership industry, we may face an increased risk of significant legal proceedings or claims, which could include class action litigation by our members or HOAs. Any adverse outcome in any litigation involving us or any of our affiliates could negatively impact our business, reputation and financial condition.

Governmental scrutiny from regulators, legislative bodies and law enforcement agencies with respect to matters relating to customer complaints and our business practices and other matters has increased in the past several years. Press coverage and other public statements that assert wrongdoing often result in an investigation by regulators, legislators and law enforcement officials or in lawsuits. Responding to these investigations and lawsuits, regardless of the ultimate outcome of the proceeding, is time consuming and expensive and can divert the time and effort of management away from our business. Adverse publicity and its effect on overall consumer perceptions of our industry, or our failure to respond effectively to adverse publicity, could have a material adverse effect on our business and brand.
