Insights
Q1 showed solid growth in core timeshare, with upbeat 2026 guidance despite softer travel club trends.
Travel + Leisure delivered modest top-line growth but strong earnings leverage. Net revenues rose to $961 million, while net income increased to $79 million. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 11% to $225 million, and adjusted diluted EPS jumped 31% to $1.45, reflecting margin expansion.
The engine was Vacation Ownership, where revenue grew 6% to $798 million and adjusted EBITDA rose 20% to $191 million. Gross VOI sales increased 7% on 5% more tours and a 3% higher VPG, aided by the resort optimization initiative, though that also drove $19 million of write-downs and related costs.
Travel and Membership lagged, with revenue down 8% to $165 million and adjusted EBITDA down 13% to $59 million on lower revenue per transaction. Even so, management reaffirmed full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $1.03–$1.055 billion and projected Q2 adjusted EBITDA of $260–$270 million, signaling confidence in demand and cost actions for the remainder of 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA of $225 million and Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.45(1), representing 11% and 31% year-over-year growth"
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.
Gross VOI sales financial
"Gross VOI sales of $549 million, up 7% year-over-year"
Volume per guest (VPG) financial
"Volume per guest (VPG) of $3,321, a 3% increase year-over-year, on a 5% increase in tours"
securitization transaction financial
"closed on a $325 million term securitization transaction on March 26, 2026 with a weighted average coupon of 5.11%"
resort optimization initiative financial
"This plan is expected to result in meaningful annual savings attributable to the maintenance fees we incur on unsold VOIs."
Adjusted free cash flow financial
"Adjusted free cash flow was effectively neutral for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $152 million in the same period of 2025."
Adjusted free cash flow is the amount of money a company generates from its operations after accounting for essential expenses and investments, like maintaining or upgrading equipment. It shows how much cash is truly available to grow the business, pay debts, or return to shareholders, helping investors see the company's financial health more clearly.

ORLANDO, Fla. (April 22, 2026) — Travel + Leisure Co. (NYSE:TNL), a leading leisure travel company, today reported first quarter 2026 financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Highlights and outlook include:

•Net income of $79 million (diluted earnings per share of $1.22)

President and Chief Executive Officer Michael D. Brown commented, “We're off to a strong start to 2026, with positive momentum in our Vacation Ownership business and above plan first quarter Adjusted EBITDA. We achieved healthy Gross VOI sales and tour growth, while executing our resort optimization initiative. These results underscore strong execution, resilient owner demand, and the durability of our business model."
"Our multi-brand strategy continues to advance, with robust growth in Margaritaville Vacation Club and Eddie Bauer Adventure Club during the quarter. We also announced the fourth location for Sports Illustrated Resorts in Baton Rouge, home of Louisiana State University and Southern University, a highly complementary market that fits well within the club's growing portfolio."
(1) This press release includes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted diluted EPS, Adjusted free cash flow, Gross VOI sales, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are measures that are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). See "Presentation of Financial Information" and the tables for the definitions and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures are presented in this press release only on a non-GAAP basis because not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation is available without unreasonable effort.
Business Segment Results
Vacation Ownership
| $ in millions | Q1 2026 | Q1 2025 | % change | ||||||||
| Revenue | $798 | $755 | 6 | % | |||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $191 | $159 | 20 | % | |||||||
Vacation Ownership revenue increased 6% to $798 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year. Net vacation ownership interest (VOI) sales increased 11% year over year. Gross VOI sales increased 7% driven by a 5% increase in tours and a 3% increase in VPG.
First quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $191 million compared to $159 million in the prior year period driven by the revenue growth and expense savings from the resort optimization initiative.
Travel and Membership
| $ in millions | Q1 2026 | Q1 2025 | % change | ||||||||
| Revenue | $165 | $180 | (8) | % | |||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $59 | $68 | (13) | % | |||||||
Travel and Membership revenue decreased 8% to $165 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year. This was driven by a $13 million decrease in transaction revenue due to a 10% decrease in revenue per transaction and flat transaction volume.
First quarter Adjusted EBITDA decreased 13% to $59 million compared to the same prior year period. This decrease was driven by a higher mix of travel club transactions, which generate lower margins, partially offset by lower operating costs.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Net Debt — As of March 31, 2026, the Company's leverage ratio for covenant purposes was below 3.2x. The Company had $3.6 billion of corporate debt outstanding as of March 31, 2026, which excluded $2.1 billion of non-recourse debt related to its securitized notes receivables portfolio.
Timeshare Receivables Financing — The Company closed on a $325 million term securitization transaction on March 26, 2026 with a weighted average coupon of 5.11% and a 98% advance rate.
Cash Flow — For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was $38 million compared to $121 million in the prior year period. Adjusted free cash flow was effectively neutral for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $152 million in the same period of 2025. These decreases were driven by an increase in cash utilization for working capital items, mainly inventory acquisitions; with adjusted free cash flow further impacted by net repayments on non-recourse vacation ownership debt.
Share Repurchases — During the first quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased 1.2 million shares of common stock for $87 million at a weighted average price of $72.51 per share. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $832 million remaining in its share repurchase authorization.
Dividend — The Company paid $41 million ($0.60 per share) in cash dividends on March 31, 2026 to shareholders of record as of March 20, 2026. Management will recommend a second quarter dividend of $0.60 per share for approval by the Company’s Board of Directors in May 2026.
Resort Optimization Initiative - In order to promote the long-term strength of our vacation ownership
resorts, we undertook a strategic review during 2025 with the intent of optimizing the overall quality of
our resort portfolio, aligning with evolving owner preferences, preserving the affordability of maintenance
fees, and mitigating the need for costly special assessments in the future. This review identified 17
resorts requiring significant owner reinvestment, or that are in markets that no longer align with owner
demand. This plan is expected to result in meaningful annual savings attributable to the maintenance
fees we incur on unsold VOIs. Such savings would be partially offset by the loss of, or reduction in, VOI
sales and property management fees earned at the impacted resorts resulting in a positive net impact to
Adjusted EBITDA in 2026. In connection with these actions, the Company incurred $19 million
of inventory write-downs and impairments during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Outlook
The Company is providing guidance for the second quarter 2026:
•Adjusted EBITDA of $260 million to $270 million
•Gross VOI sales of $660 million to $690 million
•VPG of $3,200 to $3,250
The Company is reaffirming guidance for the 2026 full year:
•Adjusted EBITDA of $1,030 million to $1,055 million
•Gross VOI sales of $2.5 billion to $2.6 billion
•VPG of $3,175 to $3,275
This guidance is presented only on a non-GAAP basis because not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is available without unreasonable effort, primarily due to uncertainties relating to the occurrence or amount of these adjustments that may arise in the future. Where one or more of the currently unavailable items is applicable, some items could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to GAAP reported results.

Presentation of Financial Information
Financial information discussed in this press release includes non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted diluted EPS, Adjusted free cash flow, gross VOI sales, Adjusted net income, Adjusted pre-tax income and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which include or exclude certain items, as well as non-GAAP guidance. The Company utilizes non-GAAP measures, defined in Table 7, on a regular basis to assess performance of its reportable segments and allocate resources. These non-GAAP measures differ from reported GAAP results and are intended to illustrate what management believes are relevant period-over-period comparisons and are helpful to investors when considered with GAAP measures as an additional tool for further understanding and assessing the Company’s ongoing operating performance by adjusting for items which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance. Management also internally uses these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. Exclusion of items in the Company’s non-GAAP presentation should not be considered an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Full reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the reported periods appear in the financial tables section of the press release.
The Company may use its website as a means of disclosing information concerning its operations, results and prospects, including information which may constitute material nonpublic information, and for complying with its disclosure obligations under SEC Regulation FD. Disclosure of such information will be included on the Company’s website in the Investor Relations section at travelandleisureco.com/investors. Accordingly, investors should monitor that Investor Relations section of the Company website, in addition to accessing its press releases, its submissions and filings with the SEC, and its publicly noticed conference calls and webcasts.

Amounts may not calculate due to rounding. The tables above reconcile certain non-GAAP financial measures to their closest GAAP measure. The presentation of these adjustments is intended to permit the comparison of particular adjustments as they appear in the income statement in order to assist investors' understanding of the overall impact of such adjustments. In addition to GAAP financial measures, the Company provides Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted diluted EPS to assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods, by adjusting for certain items which in our view do not necessarily reflect ongoing performance. We also internally use these measures to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. These supplemental disclosures are in addition to GAAP reported measures. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of adjusted measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. See "Presentation of Financial Information" and Table 7 for the definitions of these non-GAAP measures.
(a) Includes $19 million of inventory write-downs and impairments related to the Company's resort optimization initiative for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which are included within Cost of vacation ownership interests on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
(b) Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets is excluded from Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA.
(c) Includes $5 million of resort closure and other employee related costs associated with the resort optimization initiative for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which are included within Operating expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
(d) Represents the tax effects on the adjustments. We determine the tax effects of the non-GAAP adjustments based on the nature of the underlying adjustment and the relevant tax jurisdictions. The tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments was calculated based on an evaluation of the statutory tax treatment and the applicable statutory tax rate in the relevant jurisdictions.
(e) All stock-based compensation is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

Definitions
Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share: A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as Adjusted net income divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is useful to assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods.
Adjusted EBITDA: A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as net income from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization, interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest), early extinguishment of debt, interest income (excluding consumer financing revenues) and income taxes, each of which is presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes stock-based compensation costs, separation and restructuring costs, legacy items, transaction and integration costs associated with mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, asset impairments/recoveries and inventory write-downs associated with the Company’s resort optimization initiative, gains and losses on sale/disposition of business, and items that meet the conditions of unusual and/or infrequent. Legacy items include the resolution of and adjustments to certain contingent assets and liabilities related to acquisitions of continuing businesses and dispositions, including the separation of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. and Avis Budget Group, Inc. (ABG), and the sale of the vacation rentals businesses. Integration costs represent certain non-recurring costs directly incurred to integrate mergers and/or acquisitions into the existing business. We believe that when considered with GAAP measures, Adjusted EBITDA is useful to assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods. We also internally use this measure to assess our operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and in evaluating or making selected compensation decisions. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income/(loss) or other income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP and our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin: A non-GAAP measure, represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is useful to assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow: A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less property and equipment additions (capital expenditures) plus the sum of proceeds and principal payments of non-recourse vacation ownership debt, while also adding back cash paid for transaction costs for acquisitions and divestitures, separation adjustments associated with the spin-off of Wyndham Hotels, and certain adjustments related to COVID-19. TNL believes adjusted FCF to be a useful operating performance measure to evaluate the ability of its operations to generate cash for uses other than capital expenditures and, after debt service and other obligations, its ability to grow its business through acquisitions and equity investments, as well as its ability to return cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. A limitation of using Adjusted free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities as a means for evaluating TNL is that Adjusted free cash flow does not represent the total cash movement for the period as detailed in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Adjusted Net Income: A non-GAAP measure, defined by the Company as net income from continuing operations adjusted to exclude separation and restructuring costs, legacy items, transaction and integration costs associated with mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, amortization of acquisition-related assets, debt modification costs, impairments and inventory write-downs associated with the Company’s resort optimization initiative, gains and losses on sale/disposition of business, and items that meet the conditions of unusual and/or infrequent and the tax effect of such adjustments. Legacy items include the resolution of and adjustments to certain contingent assets and liabilities related to acquisitions of continuing businesses and dispositions, including the separation of Wyndham Hotels and ABG, and the sale of the vacation rentals businesses. We believe Adjusted Net Income is useful to assist our investors in evaluating our ongoing operating performance for the current reporting period and, where provided, over different reporting periods.
Average Number of Exchange Members: Represents the average number of paid members in our vacation exchange programs who are considered to be in good standing, during a given reporting period.
Free Cash Flow (FCF): A non-GAAP measure, defined by TNL as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less property and equipment additions (capital expenditures) plus the sum of proceeds and principal payments of non-recourse vacation ownership debt. TNL believes FCF to be a useful operating performance measure to evaluate the ability of its operations to generate cash for uses other than capital expenditures and, after debt service and other obligations, its ability to grow its business through acquisitions and equity investments, as well as its ability to return cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. A limitation of using FCF versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities as a means for evaluating TNL is that FCF does not represent the total cash movement for the period as detailed in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Gross Vacation Ownership Interest Sales: A non-GAAP measure, represents sales of vacation ownership interests (VOIs), including sales under the Fee-for-Service program before the effect of loan loss provisions. We believe that Gross VOI sales provide an enhanced understanding of the performance of our vacation ownership business because it directly measures the sales volume of this business during a given reporting period.
Leverage Ratio: The Company calculates leverage ratio as net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement.
Net Debt: Net debt equals total debt outstanding, less non-recourse vacation ownership debt and cash and cash equivalents.
Tours: Represents the number of tours taken by guests in our efforts to sell VOIs.
Travel and Membership Revenue per Transaction: Represents transaction revenue divided by transactions, provided in two categories; Exchange, which is primarily RCI, and Travel Club.
Travel and Membership Transactions: Represents the number of exchanges and travel bookings recognized as revenue during the period, net of cancellations. This measure is provided in two categories; Exchange, which is primarily RCI, and Travel Club.
Volume Per Guest (VPG): Represents Gross VOI sales (excluding telesales and virtual sales) divided by the number of tours. The Company has excluded non-tour sales in the calculation of VPG because non-tour sales are generated by a different marketing channel. We believe that VPG provides an enhanced understanding of the performance of our Vacation Ownership business because it directly measures the efficiency of its tour selling efforts during a given reporting period.
