10. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Commitments and Letters of Credit
As of June 30, 2025, we had the following commitments outstanding:
We have various contracts for the use of information technology hardware and software, including cloud computing arrangements, that we use in the normal course of business. Our aggregate commitment under these contracts was $101 million, of which we expect $42 million, $39 million, $18 million, and $2 million will be paid in the remainder of 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028, respectively.
We have remaining commitments of $28 million to purchase vacation ownership units located in Bali, Indonesia in two separate transactions, contingent upon completion of construction to agreed-upon standards within specified timeframes, for use in our Vacation Ownership segment.
We expect to complete the acquisition of 32 vacation ownership units in 2027 pursuant to one of these commitments, and to make remaining payments with respect to these units when specific construction milestones are completed as follows: $10 million in 2026 and $1 million in 2027.
We expect to complete the acquisition of 26 vacation ownership units in 2027 pursuant to the other commitment, and to make remaining payments with respect to these units when specific construction milestones are completed as follows: $16 million in 2026 and $1 million in 2027.
We have a remaining commitment of $37 million to purchase 60 vacation ownership units located in Khao Lak, Thailand, contingent upon completion of construction to agreed-upon standards within specified timeframes, for use in our Vacation Ownership segment. We expect to complete the acquisition of these vacation ownership units in 2027, and we expect to make remaining payments with respect to these units when specific construction milestones are completed as follows: $4 million in the remainder of 2025, $31 million in 2026, and $2 million in 2027.
We have a commitment to purchase property and vacation ownership units located in Nashville, Tennessee, contingent upon completion of construction to agreed-upon standards within specified timeframes, for use in our Vacation Ownership segment. We expect to complete the acquisition of 168 vacation ownership units in 2027, and we expect to make payments when specific construction milestones are completed of $122 million in 2027.
We have a commitment to acquire real estate in Waikiki, Hawaii for use in our Vacation Ownership segment via our involvement with a VIE. Refer to Footnote 15 “Variable Interest Entities” for information about this commitment, including purchases that occurred during the first quarter of 2024 pursuant to this commitment, and for additional information about our activities relating to the VIE involved in this commitment.
As of June 30, 2025, we had $26 million of letters of credit outstanding under our Revolving Corporate Credit Facility (as defined in Footnote 12 “Debt”), of which $25 million were related to and in lieu of reserves required for certain of our outstanding securitization transactions. In addition, as of June 30, 2025, we had $10 million in letters of credit outstanding that were related to and in lieu of reserves required for a certain other outstanding securitization transaction, which were not issued pursuant to, nor do they impact our borrowing capacity under, the Revolving Corporate Credit Facility.
Surety bonds issued as of June 30, 2025 totaled $134 million, the majority of which were requested by federal, state or local governments in connection with our operations.
Guarantees
We have a commitment to an owners’ association that we manage to pay for any shortfall between the actual expenses incurred by the owners’ association and the income received by the owners’ association, in lieu of our payment of maintenance fees for unsold inventory. The agreement will terminate on the earlier of: 1) sale of 95% of the total ownership interests in the owners’ association; or 2) written notification of termination by either party. At June 30, 2025, our expected commitment for the remainder of 2025 is $13 million, which will ultimately be recorded as a component of rental expense on our income statement.
Loss Contingencies
In the ordinary course of our business, various claims and lawsuits have been filed or are pending against us. A number of these lawsuits and claims may exist at any given time. We record and accrue for legal contingencies when we determine that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In making such determinations, we evaluate, among other things, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, our ability to make a reasonable estimate of loss. We review these accruals each reporting period and make revisions based on changes in facts and circumstances.
We have accrued for certain pending claims and lawsuits, but the amount accrued is not material individually or in the aggregate. For matters not requiring accrual, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will materially harm our financial position, cash flows, or overall trends in results of operations based on information currently available. However, legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and while we believe that our accruals, where required, are adequate and/or we have valid defenses to the claims asserted, unfavorable rulings could occur that could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.
