adjusted ebitda financial

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

vpg (volume per guest) technical

vpg (volume per guest) measures the average quantity or dollar value of products sold to each customer during a visit, calculated by dividing total units or sales by the number of guests. It matters to investors because it shows whether individual customers are spending more or less over time—similar to tracking the size of a shopping basket—and helps reveal revenue growth, pricing power or operational changes even when overall customer traffic stays flat.

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Marriott Vacations Worldwide (NYSE: VAC) announced today that industry veteran Tony Walker has been appointed the Company’s new Executive Vice President and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, reporting to Mike Flaskey, President and Chief Operating Officer.
