Note 1: Organization and Basis of Presentation Our Business We are a global timeshare company
engaged in developing, marketing, selling and managing timeshare resorts primarily under the
Hilton Grand Vacations brand. During 2021, we also acquired Diamond Resorts and are in the
process of rebranding Diamond properties and sales centers to the Hilton Grand Vacations brand
and Hilton standards. Our operations, which primarily consist of selling vacation ownership
intervals and vacation ownership interests (collectively, “VOIs”, “VOI”) for us and third parties;
financing and servicing loans provided to consumers for their timeshare purchases; operating
resorts and multi-resort trusts; and managing our points-based Hilton Grand Vacations Club and
Hilton Club exchange program (collectively the “Legacy-HGV Club”) and Diamond points-based
clubs. As of December 31, 2021 , we had 154 properties located in the United States (“U.S.”),
Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean, Canada and Japan. A significant number of our properties and VOIs
are concentrated in Florida, Europe, Hawaii, California, Arizona, Nevada, and Virginia. Diamond
Acquisition On August 2, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Dakota Holdings, Inc., the parent of
Diamond Resorts International (the “Diamond Acquisition”). We completed the acquisition by
exchanging 100 percent of the outstanding equity interests of Diamond for shares of HGV common
stock. Pre-existing HGV shareholders owned approximately 72 percent of the combined company
immediately after giving effect of the Diamond Acquisition, with certain funds controlled by Apollo
Global Management Inc. (the “Apollo Funds” or, “Apollo”) and other minority shareholders, who
previously owned 100 percent of Diamond, holding the remaining approximately 28 percent at the
time the Diamond Acquisition was completed . Diamond also operates in the hospitality and VOI
industry, with a worldwide resort network of global vacation destinations. Diamond’s portfolio
consists of resort properties (the “Portfolio Properties”) that we manage, are included in one of
Diamond’s single- and multi-use trusts (collectively, the “Diamond Collections”), or are Diamond
branded resorts in which we own inventory, as well as affiliated resorts and hotels, which we do
not manage, and which do not carry the Diamond brand but are a part of Diamond’s network and,
through THE Club® and other Club offerings (the “Diamond Clubs”), are available for its members to
use as vacation destinations. Diamond’s operations primarily consist of: VOI sales and financing
which includes marketing and sales of VOIs and consumer financing for purchasers of the

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2021
Note 2: Summa ry of Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition We account for revenue
in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers (commonly referred to as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606
(“ASC 606”). Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of promised goods or services to
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those
products or services. To achieve the core principle of the guidance, we take the following steps: (i)
identify the contract with the customer; (ii) determine whether the promised goods or services are
separate performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including
considering the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the
performance obligations in the contract based on the standalone selling price or estimated
standalone selling price of the good or service; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy
each performance obligation. Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations A performance
obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the
unit of account in ASC 606. For arrangements that contain multiple goods or services, we
determine whether such goods or services are distinct performance obligations that should be
accounted for separately in the arrangement. When allocating the transaction price in the
arrangement, we may not have observable standalone sales for all of the performance obligations
in these contracts; therefore, we exercise significant judgement when determining the standalone
selling price of certain performance obligations. In order to estimate the standalone selling prices
for products, we primarily rely on the expected cost plus margin and adjusted market assessment
approaches. We then recognize the revenue allocated to each performance obligation as the
related performance obligation is satisfied as discussed below. • Sales of VOIs, net — Customers
who purchase all vacation ownership products, whether paid in cash or financed, enter into
multiple contracts, which we combine and account for as a single contract. Revenue from VOI sales
is recognized at the point in time when control of the VOI is transferred to the customer which is
when the customer has executed a binding sales contract, collectability is reasonably assured, the
purchaser’s period to cancel for a refund has expired and the customer has the right to use the VOI.
Revenue from sales of VOIs under construction is deferred until the point in time when

Dec. 31, 2021
Note 3: Diamond Acquisition On August 2, 2021, (the “Acquisition Date”), we completed the
Diamond Acquisition by exchanging 100 percent of the outstanding equity interests of Diamond to
HGV common shares. Following the closing of the Diamond Acquisition, pre-existing HGV
shareholders owned approximately 72 percent of the combined company after giving effect to the
Diamond Acquisition, with Apollo Funds and other minority shareholders holding the remaining
approximately 28 percent at the time the Diamond Acquisition was completed. Diamond is a leader
in the vacation ownership industry focused on the infusion of hospitality and experiences through
the full life cycle of an owner or members’ life cycle relationship with Diamond. This strategic
combination creates a more expansive industry offering, leveraging HGV’s strong brand and net
owner growth along with Diamond’s diverse network of locations and strength in experiential
offerings. The acquisition also diversifies our product offerings and allows us to expand our
customer demographic. On the Acquisition Date, shareholders of Diamond received 0.32 shares of
our common stock for each share of Diamond common stock, totaling approximately 28 percent of
our total common shares outstanding. Additionally, in connection with the Diamond Acquisition,
HGV repaid certain existing indebtedness of Diamond. Costs related to the acquisition for the year
ended December 31, 2021 were $ 106 million, which were expensed as incurred, and reflected as
Acquisition and integration-related expense in our consolidated statements of operations. The
following table presents the fair value of each class of consideration transferred in relation to the
Diamond Acquisition at the Acquisition Date.

of ASC 326 and use these as a basis for how we develop our expected loss estimates. We sell VOIs
on behalf of third-party developers using the Hilton Grand Vacations brand in exchange for sales,
marketing and brand fees. We use historical losses and economic factors as a basis to develop our
allowance for credit losses. Under these fee-for-service arrangements, we earn commission fees
based on a percentage of total interval sales. Additionally, the terms of these arrangements include
provisions requiring the reduction of fees earned for defaults and cancellations. The changes in our
allowance for fee-for-service commissions were as follows during the year ended December 31,

of Legacy-Diamond as of the Acquisition Date. Originated timeshare financing receivables include
all Legacy-HGV timeshare financing receivables and Legacy-Diamond timeshare financing
receivables originated after the Acquisition Date. (3) A non-credit premium of $ 97 million was
recognized at the Acquisition Date. $ 74 million of this premium remains unamortized as of

with a carrying value of $ 131 million and $ 17 million, respectively, securing the Timeshare Facility.
In connection with the acquisition of Diamond, we also gained access to two additional conduit
facilities in anticipation of future financing activities. We record an estimate of variable
consideration for estimated defaults as a reduction of revenue from VOI sales at the time revenue
is recognized on a VOI sale. We record the difference between the timeshare financing receivable
and the variable consideration included in the transaction price for the sale of the related VOI as an
allowance for financing receivables and record the receivable net of the allowance. During the year
ended December 31, 2021 , we recorded an adjustment to our estimate of variable consideration

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2021
Note 10: Consolidated Variable Interest Entities As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we
consolidated 11 and 4 variable interest entities (“VIEs”), respectively. The activities of these entities
are limited primarily to purchasing qualifying non-recourse timeshare financing receivables from us
and issuing debt securities and/or borrowing under a debt facility to facilitate such purchases. The
timeshare financing receivables held by these entities are not available to our creditors and are not
our legal assets, nor is the debt that is securitized through these entities a legal liability to us. We
have determined that we are the primary beneficiaries of all VIEs as we have the power to direct
the activities that most significantly affect their economic performance. We are also the servicer of
these timeshare financing receivables and we often replace or repurchase timeshare financing
receivables that are in default at their outstanding principal amounts. Additionally, we have the
obligation to absorb their losses and the right to receive benefits that could be significant to them.
Only the assets of our VIEs are available to settle the obligations of the respective entities. As part
of the Diamond Acquisition, we acquired the variable interests in the entities associated with
Diamond’s outstanding timeshare financing receivables securitization transactions. They have been
aggregated for disclosure purposes as they are similar in nature to our previously established VIEs.
We also acquired two conduit facilities which are VIEs and have an outstanding balance of $ 133
million as of December 31, 2021 (see Note 15: Debt and Non-recourse debt ). Our consolidated
balance sheets included the assets and liabilities of these entities, which primarily consisted of the
following:

December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 , we did no t provide any financial or other support to any VIEs
that we were not previously contractually required to provide, nor do we intend to provide such
support in the future.

Note 11: Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates As of December 31, 2021 , we have 25 percent
and 50 percent ownership interests in BRE Ace LLC and 1776 Holdings LLC, respectively, which are
VIEs. We do not consolidate BRE Ace LLC and 1776 Holdings LLC because we are not the primary
beneficiary. Our investment interests in and equity earned from both VIEs are included in the
consolidated balance sheets as Investments in unconsolidated affiliates and in the consolidated
statements of operations as Equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates , respectively. During
the year ended December 31, 2021 , we received a cash distribution of approximately $ 2 million
from our investment in BRE Ace LLC. Our two unconsolidated affiliates have aggregated debt
balances of $ 463 million and $ 454 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 , respectively. The
debt is secured by their assets and is without recourse to us. Our maximum exposure to loss as a
result of our investment interests in the two unconsolidated affiliates is primarily limited to (i) the
carrying amount of the investments which totals $ 59 million and $ 51 million as of December 31,
2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively and (ii) receivables for commission and other fees
earned under fee-for-service arrangements. See Note 21: Related Party Transactions for additional

Dec. 31, 2021
Note 22: Business Segments We operate our business through the following two segments: • Real
estate sales and financing – We market and sell VOIs that we own. We also source VOIs through feefor-service agreements with third-party developers. Related to the sales of the VOIs that we own,
we provide consumer financing, which includes interest income generated from the origination of
consumer loans to customers to finance their purchase of VOIs and revenue from servicing the
loans. We also generate fee revenue from servicing the loans provided by third-party developers to
purchasers of their VOIs. • Resort operations and club management – We manage the Club and
Diamond Clubs and earn activation fees, annual dues and transaction fees from member exchanges
for other vacation products. We also earn fees for managing the timeshare properties. We
generate rental revenue from unit rentals of unsold inventory and inventory made available due to
ownership exchanges under our Club and Diamond Clubs programs. We also earn revenue from
food and beverage, retail and spa outlets at our timeshare properties. The performance of our
operating segments is evaluated primarily based on adjusted earnings before interest expense
(excluding non-recourse debt), taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). We define
Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including, but not limited to,
gains, losses and expenses in connection with: (i) other gains, including asset dispositions and
foreign currency translations; (ii) debt restructurings/retirements; (iii) non-cash impairment losses;
(iv) share-based and other compensation expenses; and (v) other items, including but not limited to
costs associated with acquisitions, restructuring, amortization of premiums resulting from purchase
accounting, and other non-cash and one-time charges. We do not include equity in earnings
(losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our measures of segment operating performance. Below
is the presentation of our reportable segment results which include the newly acquired Diamond
operations within both segments since the Acquisition Date. The following table presents revenues

Note 23: Commitments and Contingencies We have entered into certain arrangements with
developers whereby we have committed to purchase vacation ownership units or other real estate
at a future date to be marketed and sold under our Hilton Grand Vacations brand. As of December
31, 2021 , we were committed to purchase approximately $ 330 million of inventory and land over
a period of 9 years and $ 7 million of other commitments under the normal course of business.
Additionally, we have committed to develop additional vacation ownership units at an existing
resort in Japan. We are also committed to an agreement to exchange parcels of land in Hawaii,
subject to the successful completion of zoning, land use requirements and other applicable
regulatory requirements. The actual amount and timing of the acquisitions are subject to change
pursuant to the terms of the respective arrangements, which could also allow for cancellation in
certain circumstances. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 , we completed $ 132

Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements presented herein include 100 percent
of our assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows as well as all entities in which we have a
controlling financial interest. Our accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
interim periods. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation. The consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position, results of
operations and cash flows as prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The determination of a controlling financial interest is based upon the
terms of the governing agreements of the respective entities, including the evaluation of rights
held by other interests. If the entity is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), we
determine whether we are the primary beneficiary, and then consolidate those VIEs for which we
have determined we are the primary beneficiary. If the entity in which we hold an interest does not
meet the definition of a VIE, we evaluate whether we have a controlling financial interest through
our voting interests in the entity. We consolidate entities when we own more than 50 percent of
the voting shares of a company or otherwise have a controlling financial interest. The consolidated
financial statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as prepared
in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and,
accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition We account for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (commonly referred to as
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“ASC 606”). Revenue is recognized upon the
transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. To achieve the core
principle of the guidance, we take the following steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer;
(ii) determine whether the promised goods or services are separate performance obligations in the
contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including considering the constraint on variable
consideration; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
based on the standalone selling price or estimated standalone selling price of the good or service;
and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy each performance obligation.
Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations A performance obligation is a promise in a
contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in ASC 606.
For arrangements that contain multiple goods or services, we determine whether such goods or
services are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately in the
arrangement. When allocating the transaction price in the arrangement, we may not have
observable standalone sales for all of the performance obligations in these contracts; therefore, we
exercise significant judgement when determining the standalone selling price of certain
performance obligations. In order to estimate the standalone selling prices for products, we
primarily rely on the expected cost plus margin and adjusted market assessment approaches. We
then recognize the revenue allocated to each performance obligation as the related performance
obligation is satisfied as discussed below. • Sales of VOIs, net — Customers who purchase all
vacation ownership products, whether paid in cash or financed, enter into multiple contracts,
which we combine and account for as a single contract. Revenue from VOI sales is recognized at
the point in time when control of the VOI is transferred to the customer which is when the
customer has executed a binding sales contract, collectability is reasonably assured, the purchaser’s
period to cancel for a refund has expired and the customer has the right to use the VOI. Revenue
from sales of VOIs under construction is deferred until the point in time when construction
activities are deemed to be completed, occupancy of the development is permissible, and the
above criteria has been met. For financed sales, we estimate the variable consideration to be
received under such contracts and recognize revenue net of amounts deemed uncollectible as the
VOI is returned to inventory upon customer default. Variable consideration which has not been
included within the transaction price is presented as a reserve on the financing receivable. See
Note 7: Timeshare Financing Receivables for more information regarding our estimate of variable
consideration. Vacation ownership product sales include revenue from the sale of VOIs, which in
the case of the Diamond Collections are represented by an annual or biennial allotment of points
that can be utilized for vacations at Diamond resorts in our network for varying lengths of stay.
Typical contracts include the sale of VOIs, certain sales incentives primarily in the form of additional

Business
We account
business
accordance
with the in the
acquisition method of accounting. We allocate the purchase price of an acquisition to the tangible
and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the
acquisition date. For each acquisition, we recognize goodwill as the amount in which consideration
transferred for the acquired entity exceeds the fair values of net assets. The fair value of net assets
is the fair value assigned to the assets acquired reduced by the fair value assigned to liabilities
assumed. In determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we use various
recognized valuation methods including the income, cost and sales and market approaches, which
also include certain valuation techniques such as discount rates, and the amount and timing of
future cash flows. We utilize independent valuation specialists under our supervision for certain of
our assignments of fair value. We record the net assets and results of operations of an acquired
entity in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date through period-end. We
expense acquisition-related expenses as incurred and include such expenses within Acquisition and
integration-related expense on our consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3: Diamond
Acquisition for further information.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates We account for investments in unconsolidated affiliates
under the equity method of accounting when we exercise significant influence, but do not maintain
a controlling financial interest over the affiliates. We evaluate our investments in affiliates for
impairment when there are indicators that the fair value of our investment may be less than our
carrying value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less.
Restricted Cash Restricted cash includes deposits received on VOI sales that are held in escrow until
legal requirements of the local jurisdictions are met with regards to project construction or
contract status and cash reserves required by our non-recourse debt agreements. Restricted cash
also includes certain amounts collected on behalf of HOAs.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable primarily consists of
trade receivables and is reported as the customers’ outstanding balances, less any allowance for
credit losses. The expected credit losses are measured using an expected-loss model that reflects
the risk of loss and considers the losses expected over the outstanding period of the receivable.
Cloud Computing Arrangements We capitalize certain costs associated with cloud computing
arrangements (“CCAs”). These costs are included in Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets
and are expensed in the same line as the hosting arrangement in our consolidated statements of
operations using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which is generally
three to five years . We review the CCAs for impairment when circumstances indicate that their
carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of an asset group is not recoverable,
we recognize an impairment loss for the excess of carrying value over the fair value in our
consolidated statements of operations.
Derivative Instruments We use derivative instruments as part of our overall strategy to manage our
exposure to market risks primarily associated with fluctuations in interest rates and do not use
derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We record the derivative instrument at fair value
either as an asset or liability. We assess the effectiveness of our hedging instruments quarterly and
record changes in fair value in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the effective
portion of the hedge and record the ineffectiveness of a hedge immediately in earnings in our
consolidated statement of operations. We release the derivative’s gain or loss from AOCI to match
the timing of the underlying hedged items’ effect on earnings.
Acquired Financial Assets with Credit Deterioration When financial assets are acquired, whether in
connection with a business combination or an asset acquisition, we evaluate whether those
acquired financial assets have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality
since origination. Financial assets that were acquired with evidence of such credit deterioration are
referred to as purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) assets and reflect the acquirer’s assessment at
the acquisition date. The evaluation of PCD assets is a qualitative assessment requiring
management judgment. We consider indicators such as delinquency, FICO score deterioration,
purchased credit impaired status from prior acquisition, certain account status codes which we
believe are indicative of credit deterioration, as well as certain loan activity such as modifications
and downgrades. In addition, we consider the impact of current and forward-looking economic
conditions relative to the conditions which would have existed at origination. Acquired PCD assets
are recorded at the purchase price, represented by the acquisition date fair value, and
subsequently “grossed-up” by the acquirer’s acquisition date assessment of the allowance for
credit losses. The purchase price and the initial allowance for credit losses collectively represent
the PCD asset’s initial amortized cost basis. While the initial allowance for credit losses of PCD
assets does not impact period earnings, the Company remeasures the allowance for credit losses
for PCD assets during each subsequent reporting period; changes in the allowance are recognized
as provision expense within period earnings. The difference over which par value of the acquired
PCD assets exceeds the purchase price plus the initial allowance for credit losses is reflected as a
non-credit discount (or premium) and is accreted into interest income (or as a reduction to interest
income) under the effective interest method. Acquired financial assets which are not PCD assets
are also recorded at the purchase price but are not similarly “grossed-up”. The acquirer recognizes
an allowance for credit losses as of the acquisition date, which is recognized with a corresponding
provision expense impact within earnings. The allowance is remeasured within each subsequent
reporting period in the same manner as for PCD assets, with any change in the allowance
recognized as provision expense in period earnings. See Note 3: Diamond Acquisition and Note 7:
Timeshare Financing Receivables for further information. Timeshare Financing Receivables and
Allowance for Financing Receivables Losses Our timeshare financing receivables consist of loans
Inventory and Cost of Sales Inventory includes unsold, completed VOIs; VOIs under construction;
and land and infrastructure held for future VOI product development at our current resorts. We
carry our completed VOI inventory at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, less costs to sell,
which can result in impairment losses and/or recoveries of previous impairments. Projects under
development, along with land and infrastructure for future development are under a held and use
impairment model and are reviewed for indicators of impairment quarterly. We capitalize costs
directly associated with the acquisition, development and construction of a real estate project
when it is probable that the project will move forward. We capitalize salary and related costs only
to the extent they directly relate to the project. We capitalize interest expense, taxes and insurance
costs when activities that are necessary to get the property ready for its intended use are
underway. We cease capitalization of costs during prolonged gaps in development when
substantially all activities are suspended or when projects are considered substantially complete.
We account for our VOI inventory and cost of VOI sales using the relative sales value method. Also,
we do not reduce inventory for the cost of VOI sales related to anticipated defaults, and
accordingly, no adjustment is made when inventory is reacquired upon default of the related
receivable. This results in changes in estimates within the relative sales value calculations to be
accounted for as real estate inventory true-ups, which we refer to as cost of sales true-ups, and are
included in Cost of VOI sales in our consolidated statements of operations to retrospectively adjust
the margin previously recognized subject to those estimates.
Property and Equipment Property and equipment includes land, buildings and leasehold
improvement and furniture and equipment at our corporate offices, sales centers and management
offices. Additionally, certain property and equipment is held for future conversion into inventory.
Construction in progress primarily relates to development activities. Costs that are capitalized
related to development activities are classified as property and equipment until they are registered
for sale. Costs of improvements that extend the economic life or improve service potential are also
capitalized. Capitalized costs are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Costs for normal
repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Other than the United States, there were no
countries that individually represented over 10 percent of total property and equipment, net as of
December 31, 2021 and 2020. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the
assets’ estimated useful lives, which are generally as follows: buildings and improvements ( eight to
40 years ); furniture and equipment ( three to eight years ); and computer equipment and acquired
software ( three years ). Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the
estimated useful life, based on the estimates above, or the lease term. We evaluate the carrying
value of our property and equipment if there are indicators of potential impairment. We perform
an analysis to determine the recoverability of the asset’s carrying value by comparing the expected
undiscounted future cash flows to the net book value of the asset. If it is determined that the
expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the asset, we calculate
the asset’s fair value. The impairment loss recognized is equal to the amount that the net book
value is in excess of fair value. Fair value is generally estimated using valuation techniques that
consider the discounted cash flows of the asset using discount and capitalization rates deemed
reasonable for the type of asset, as well as prevailing market conditions, appraisals, recent similar
transactions in the market and, if appropriate and available, current estimated net sales proceeds
from pending offers. If sufficient information exists to reasonably estimate the fair value of a
conditional asset retirement obligation, including environmental remediation liabilities, we
recognize the fair value of the obligation when the obligation is incurred.
Assets Held for Sale We classify long-lived assets to be sold as held for sale in the period (i) we have
approved and committed to a plan to sell the asset, (ii) the asset is available for immediate sale in
its present condition, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to sell the
asset have been initiated, (iv) the sale of the asset is probable, (v) the asset is being actively
marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and (vi) it is
unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. We
initially measure a long-lived asset that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value
or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the
period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale
of a long-lived asset until the date of sale. Upon designation as an asset held for sale, we stop
recording depreciation expense on the asset. We assess the fair value of a long-lived asset less any
costs to sell at each reporting period and until the asset is no longer classified as held for sale. The
methodology utilized to determine fair value at the time of classification as held for sale is
dependent on the type of long-lived asset reclassified. All methodologies utilized to determine fair
value involve judgment. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we performed a review over certain of our
long-lived assets, including undeveloped parcels of land and certain unallocated infrastructure costs
related to future phases of existing resorts. During the review, we concluded that based on our
current inventory pipeline, we will have sufficient inventory in Hawaii, Orlando and Las Vegas to
support future business operations without the need to utilize the undeveloped land and
unallocated infrastructure. As a result, we committed to a plan to monetize and dispose of these
assets via a sale, which was approved by the Board of Directors. Certain identified undeveloped
land and unallocated infrastructure assets in Orlando were part of the planned sale and are
therefore held in Property and equipment as of December 31, 2020. The remaining identified
assets are included in Land and infrastructure held for sale as of December 31, 2020. As a result of
the plan to dispose of these assets via sale, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $ 209
million in the fourth quarter of 2020 related to the identified assets. The non-cash impairment
charge was comprised of a $ 201 million charge related to Land and infrastructure held for sale and
an $ 8 million charge related to Property and equipment , respectively. As of December 31, 2021,
Leases We lease sales centers, office space and equipment under lease agreements. We determine
if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Amounts related to operating leases are included in
Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, net and Operating lease liabilities in our consolidated
balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets are adjusted for lease incentives received. ROU assets
and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over
the lease term as of the commencement date. Because most of our leases do not provide an
explicit or implicit rate of return, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information
available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments on an
individual lease basis. Our incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest we would
have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments for the
asset under similar terms. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. Our
operating leases may require minimum rent payments, contingent rent payments based on a
percentage of revenue or income, or rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation or rent
payments equal to the greater of a minimum rent or contingent rent. Our leases do not contain any
residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Leases with a lease term of 12 months
or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets and lease expense is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. We monitor events or changes in circumstances that change
the timing or amount of future lease payments which results in the remeasurement of a lease
liability, with a corresponding adjustment to the ROU asset. ROU assets for operating and financing
leases are periodically reviewed for impairment losses under ASC 360-10, Property, Plant, and
Equipment , to determine whether a ROU asset is impaired, and if so, the amount of the
impairment loss to recognize.
Goodwill Goodwill acquired in business combinations is assigned to the reporting units expected to
benefit from the combination as of the acquisition date. We review the carrying value of goodwill
of each of our reporting units annually on October 1, or more frequently upon the occurrence of
certain events or substantive changes in circumstances, based on either a qualitative assessment or
a two-step impairment test. We do not amortize goodwill. We evaluate goodwill for potential
impairment at least annually, or more frequently if an event or other circumstance indicates that it
is more-likely-than-not that we may not be able to recover the carrying amount (book value) of the
net assets of the related reporting unit. When evaluating goodwill for impairment, we may perform
the optional qualitative assessment by considering factors including macroeconomic conditions,
industry and market conditions and overall financial performance. If we bypass the qualitative
assessment, or if we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is
less than its carrying value, then we perform a quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair
value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. We only recognize an impairment on goodwill if
the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, in an amount not to
exceed the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. In evaluating goodwill for impairment,
we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value
of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Qualitative factors that we consider include, for
example, macroeconomic and industry conditions, overall financial performance of our reporting
units, and other relevant entity-specific events. If we bypass the qualitative assessment, or if we
conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying
value, then we perform a two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill
impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment we will recognize, if any. No goodwill
impairment charges were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021. Intangible Assets
Our intangible assets consist of management agreements, trade name, club member relationships
and certain proprietary software technologies with finite lives. We have management agreements,

were $ 25 million and $ 29 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and were
included in Other assets on our consolidated balance sheets.
Fair Value Measurements—Valuation Hierarchy Fair value is defined as the price that would be
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants on the measurement date (an exit price). We use the three-level valuation hierarchy
for classification of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the
transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs
refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the
assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on
market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our
own assumptions about the data market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability
developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-level hierarchy
of inputs is summarized below: • Level 1—Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for
identical assets or liabilities in active markets; • Level 2—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for
similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument; and • Level
3—Valuation is based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.
The classification of assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest
level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Currency Translation and Remeasurement The United States dollar (“USD”) is our reporting
currency and is the functional currency of the majority of our operations. For operations whose
functional currency is not the USD, assets and liabilities measured in foreign currencies are
translated into USD at the prevailing exchange rates in effect as of the financial statement date and
the related gains and losses are reflected within Accumulated other Comprehensive Income in our
consolidated balance sheets. Related income and expense accounts are translated at the average
exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses from foreign exchange rate changes related to other
transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency or intercompany
receivables and payables denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency that
are not of a long-term investment nature are recognized as gain or loss on foreign currency
transactions included in Other gain (loss), net in our consolidated statements of operations.
Share-Based Compensation Costs Certain of our employees participate in our 2017 Omnibus
Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”) which compensates eligible employees and directors with
restricted stock units (“RSUs”), time and performance-vesting restricted stock units (“Performance
RSUs” or “PSUs”) and nonqualified stock options (“options”). We record compensation expense
based on the share-based awards granted to our employees. Share-based compensation awards
issued prior to the spin-off have been converted to reflect the separation from Hilton. Upon the
separation on January 3, 2017, holders of Hilton share-based awards received an adjusted award
based on our shares. The adjustments were designed to generally preserve the fair value of each
award before and after the separation. • RSUs vest in annual installments over three years from
the date of grant, subject to the individual’s continued employment through the applicable vesting
date. Vested RSUs generally will be settled for Hilton Grand Vacation’s common stock. The grant
date fair value is equal to Hilton Grand Vacation’s closing stock price on the date of grant. • PSUs
issued prior to 2021 are settled at the end of a three-year performance period, with 70 percent of
the PSUs subject to achievement based on the Company’s adjusted earnings before interest
expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization. This metric is further adjusted by sales of VOIs
under construction. The remaining 30 percent of the PSUs are subject to the achievement of
certain VOI sales targets. • PSUs issued in March 2021 are settled at the end of a two-year
performance period with 50 percent of the Performance RSUs subject to achievement based on the
Company’s adjusted earnings before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization
further adjusted for net deferral and recognition of revenues and related direct expenses related to
sales of VOIs of projects under construction. The remaining 50 percent of the Performance RSUs
issued are subject to the achievement of certain contract sales targets. • PSUs issued in August
2021, in conjunction with the Diamond Acquisition, are settled at the end of the performance
period, which is from the Acquisition Date through December 31, 2023, with 67 percent of the
Performance RSUs subject to achievement based on certain run rate cost savings. The remaining 33
percent of the Performance RSUs issued are subject to the achievement of the Company’s adjusted
earnings before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization further adjusted for net
deferral and recognition of revenues and related direct expenses related to sales of VOIs of
Income Taxes We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The objectives of
accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the
current year, to recognize the deferred tax assets and liabilities that relate to tax consequences in
future years, which result from differences between the respective tax basis of assets and liabilities
and their financial reporting amounts, and tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the respective
temporary differences or operating loss or tax credit carryforwards are expected to be recovered
or settled. The realization of deferred tax assets and tax loss and tax credit carryforwards is
contingent upon the generation of future taxable income and other restrictions that may exist
under the tax laws of the jurisdiction in which a deferred tax asset exists. Valuation allowances are
provided to reduce such deferred tax assets to amounts more likely than not to be ultimately
realized. We use a prescribed recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. For all income tax
positions, we first determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” that a tax position will be
sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes,
based on the technical merits of the position. If it is determined that a position meets the morelikely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit recognized in the financial statements is
measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized
upon settlement. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized as a
component of income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Accrued interest and penalties are included on the related tax liability line in the consolidated
balance sheet.
Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the earnings available
to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive
common shares that were outstanding during the reporting period. When there is a year-to-date
loss, potential common shares should not be included in the computation of diluted EPS; hence,
diluted EPS would equal basic EPS in a period of loss.
Defined Contribution Plan We administer and maintain a defined contribution plan for the benefit
of all employees meeting certain eligibility requirements who elect to participate in the plan.
Contributions are determined based on a specified percentage of salary deferrals by participating
employees. We recognized compensation expense for our participating employees totaling $ 5
million, $ 5 million and $ 13 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019,
respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted Accounting Standards On January 1, 2021
we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2019-12 (“ASU 2019-12”), Income Taxes (Topic 740):
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes . ASU 2019-12 simplifies various aspects related to
accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740
and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The adoption of ASU
2019-12 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the
Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting . ASU 2020-04 provides optional
expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other
transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by
another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance was effective as of March 12,
2020 and will apply through December 31, 2022. We are evaluating the effect of this ASU, but we
do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In October
2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-08 (“ASU 2021-08”), Business
Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts
with Customers . ASU 2021-08 provides that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and
contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At the
acquisition date, the entity should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with
Topic 606 as if the entity had originated the contracts. The guidance is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2022. We currently plan to implement and evaluate the impacts of
this new standard with future acquisitions, if any. In November 2021, the FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update 2021-10 (“ASU 2021-10”), Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by
Business Entities about Government Assistance . ASU 2021-10 provides that annual disclosures
about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution
accounting model by analogy include Information about the nature of the transactions, line items
on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected by the transactions, and significant
terms and conditions of the transactions. The guidance is effective for all entities for financial
