Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this presentation we report certain financial measures that are not prescribed or authorized by
United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We discuss our
reasons for reporting these non-GAAP financial measures below, and reconcile the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure to each non-GAAP financial measure that we report
(identified by a double asterisk ("**") on the preceding pages). Although we evaluate and present these non-GAAP financial measures for the reasons described below, please
be aware that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for revenues, net income, earnings per share or any other
comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated and / or presented differently than measures with the
same or similar names that are reported by other companies, and as a result, the non-GAAP
financial measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.
charges incurred in the 52 weeks ended January 2, 2015, the 53 weeks ended January 3, 2014 and the 52
weeks ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, (2) exclude non-cash impairment
charges in the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2011, (3) exclude gains on dispositions in the 52 weeks ended January 2, 2015 and December 28, 2012, (4)
include pro forma adjustments for the 52 weeks ended December 30, 2011 to reflect results as if we
were a standalone public company throughout each period, and (5) exclude adjustments related to
the extension of rescission periods in our Europe segment discussed below (Europe Rescission Adjustments) in the 53 weeks ended January 3, 2014 and the
52 weeks ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, because these non-GAAP financial measures
allow for period-over-period comparisons of our on-going core operations before the
impact of certain charges, non-cash impairment charges, gains and Europe Rescission Adjustments, and reflect results as if we were a standalone public company
throughout each period. These adjustments are itemized below and on the following pages for fiscal
years 2011 through 2014; to the extent certain charges, non-cash impairment charges or
gains occur in fiscal years 2015 through 2018, similar adjustments would be made. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate our comparison of results from our
on-going core operations before certain charges, non-cash impairment charges, gains and Europe
Rescission Adjustments with results from other vacation ownership companies.
