BLUEGREEN VACATIONS HOLDING CORPORATION
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED
i 1. Organization and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation is a Florida-based holding company which owns i 100% of Bluegreen Vacations Corporation (“Bluegreen”). Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation as a standalone entity without its subsidiaries is sometimes referred to herein as “BVH”. Unless stated to the contrary or the context otherwise requires, Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation with its subsidiaries, including Bluegreen, is referred to herein as the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”. i The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the Company’s opinion, the financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments consisting of normal recurring items necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 13, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).
i Our Business
Bluegreen is a leading vacation ownership company that markets and sells vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) and manages resorts in popular leisure and urban destinations. Bluegreen’s resorts are primarily located in high-volume, “drive-to” vacation locations, including Orlando, Panama City Beach, Las Vegas, the Smoky Mountains, Myrtle Beach, Charleston, the Branson, Missouri area, Nashville and New Orleans, among others. Bluegreen also earns fees for providing management services to the Bluegreen Vacation Club (the “Vacation Club”) and homeowners’ associations (“HOAs”), mortgage servicing, VOI title services, reservation services, and construction design and development services. In addition, Bluegreen provides financing to qualified VOI purchasers, which generates significant interest income.
On November 5, 2023, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (“HGV”) pursuant to which HGV has agreed to acquire the Company in an all-cash transaction. Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, upon the consummation of the transaction, HGV will acquire all of the shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock for $ i 75.00 per share, representing a total enterprise value of approximately $ i 1.5 billion, inclusive of net debt. Closing of the transaction is subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders and other customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions, the transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2024.
i Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, entities in which the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries hold controlling financial interests, including Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations LLC (a joint venture in which Bluegreen is deemed to hold a controlling financial interest based on its i 51% equity interest, its active role as the day-to-day manager of its activities, and Bluegreen’s majority voting control of its management committee (“Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations”)), and any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company or one of its consolidated subsidiaries is deemed the primary beneficiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
i Use of Estimates
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires it to make estimates based on assumptions about current and, for some estimates, future economic and market conditions which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in its financial statements. Although the Company’s estimates are based on current and expected future conditions, as applicable, actual conditions could differ from its expectations, which could materially affect its results of operations and financial position. In particular, a number of estimates have been and may continue to be affected by adverse trends affecting general economic conditions, including rising interest rates, inflation and decreases in discretionary spending. The severity, magnitude and duration, as well as the economic consequences of these factors are uncertain, subject to change and difficult to predict. As a result, accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time. Such changes could result in, among other adjustments, incremental loan losses on notes receivable, a decrease in the carrying amount of tax assets, or an increase in other obligations as of the time of a relevant measurement event. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those that relate to the estimated future sales value of VOI inventory; the recognition of revenue; the allowance for loan losses; the recovery of the carrying value of VOI inventories; the fair value of assets measured at, or compared to, fair value on a non-recurring basis; the estimate of contingent liabilities related to litigation and other claims and assessments; and deferred income taxes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements
i Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU-2022-02”), which eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance applicable to troubled debt restructurings for creditors and enhances disclosure requirements with respect to loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. ASU 2022-02 also requires disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination to be presented in the vintage disclosures for VOI notes receivable. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 as of January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures other than disclosure related to changes in vintage disclosures relating to VOI notes receivable.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effect of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides relief for companies preparing for the discontinuation of LIBOR in response to the Financial Conduct Authority (the regulatory authority over LIBOR) plan for a phase out of regulatory oversight of LIBOR interest rate indices to allow for an orderly transition to an alternate reference rate. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

Both points incentives and owner programs are recognized upon redemption, and deferred revenue for vacation packages is recognized net of sales and marketing expenses upon customer stays.

The Company monitors the credit quality of its receivables on an ongoing basis. The Company holds large amounts of homogeneous VOI notes receivable and assesses uncollectibility based on pools of receivables as it does not believe that there are significant concentrations of credit risk with any borrower or groups of borrowers. In estimating loan losses, the Company does not use a single primary indicator of credit quality but instead evaluates its VOI notes receivable based upon a static pool analysis that incorporates the aging of the respective receivables, default trends and prepayment rates by origination year, as well as the FICO scores of the borrowers. The Company records the difference between its VOI notes receivable and the variable consideration included in the transaction price for the sale of the related VOI as an allowance for loan losses and records the VOI notes receivable net of the allowance.
Adverse changes in economic conditions, including rising interest rates and inflationary trends, have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on the collectability of our VOI notes receivable and we are continuing to evaluate the impact they may have on our default and/or delinquency rates. Our estimates may not prove to be correct and our allowance for loan losses may not prove to be adequate.

The Company’s notes receivable are carried at amortized cost less an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is suspended, and previously accrued but unpaid interest income is reversed, on all delinquent notes receivable when principal or interest payments are more than 90 days contractually past due and not resumed until such loans are less than 90 days past due. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $ i 28.7 million and $ i 24.2 million, respectively, of our VOI notes receivable were more than 90 days past due, and accordingly, consistent with our policy, were not accruing interest income. After approximately 127 days, VOI notes receivable are generally written off against the allowance for loan losses. Accrued interest was $ i 7.3 million and $ i 5.8 million as of September 30,
2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and is included within other assets in the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets herein.

i 5. Variable Interest Entities
The Company sells VOI notes receivable through special purpose finance entities. These transactions are generally structured as non-recourse to Bluegreen and are designed to provide liquidity and to transfer the economic risks and benefits of the notes receivable to third parties. In a securitization, various classes of debt securities are issued by the special purpose finance entities and are generally collateralized by a single tranche of transferred assets, which consist of VOI notes receivable.
Under the terms of certain VOI notes receivable sales, the Company has the right to repurchase or substitute a limited amount of defaulted notes for new notes at the outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest. Voluntary repurchases and substitutions of defaulted notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $ i 20.8 million and $ i 7.0 million, respectively. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss relating to its non-recourse securitization entities is the difference between the outstanding VOI notes receivable and the notes payable, plus cash reserves and any additional residual interest in future cash flows from collateral.

Panama City Beach Acquisition Loan. In October 2022, Bluegreen purchased the property and other assets of a resort located in Panama City Beach, Florida for approximately $ i 78.0 million. In connection with this acquisition, Bluegreen entered into a non-revolving acquisition loan (the “Panama City Beach Acquisition Loan”) with National Bank of
Arizona (“NBA”) for the acquisition and renovation of the resort. In September 2023, the Panama City Beach Acquisition Loan was amended to reduce the maximum advances from $ i 96.6 million to $ i 87.6 million, and reduce the advance rate on future renovation costs from i 70% to i 55%. Advances may be made during a i 36-month advance period. Approximately $ i 54.5 million was advanced at closing for the acquisition of the resort. The remainder of the purchase price was paid in cash. Principal payments will be effected through release payments from sales of the completed VOIs, subject to a minimum amortization schedule, with the remaining balance due at maturity in October 2027. Borrowings under the Panama City Beach Acquisition Loan bear interest at an annual rate equal to one-month term SOFR plus i 2.25%, subject to a floor of i 2.40%. Recourse is limited to i 22.5% of the principal and interest outstanding, with decreases based on achieving certain milestones and subject to certain exceptions.
Other than as described above, there were i no new debt issuances or significant changes related to the above listed facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. See Note 10 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in its 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the lines-of-credit and notes payable facilities listed above.

The gross advance rate for this transaction was i 85.5%. The amount of the VOI receivables sold to BXG Receivables Note Trust 2023-A (the “Trust”) in the transaction was approximately $ i 251.0 million. The gross proceeds of such sales to the Trust were $ i 212.2 million. A portion of the proceeds were used to: repay all amounts outstanding under Bluegreen’s existing VOI receivable-backed notes purchase facility (approximately $ i 181.6 million); capitalize a reserve fund; and pay fees and expenses associated with the transaction. The remainder of the gross proceeds from the 2023 Term Securitization were used for general corporate purposes. The purchase facility allows for maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $ i 250.0 million on a revolving basis through September 30, 2025, subject to eligible collateral and the other terms and conditions of the facility.
Subject to performance of the collateral, Bluegreen will receive any excess cash flows generated by the receivables transferred under the 2023 Term Securitization (excess meaning after payments of customary fees, interest and principal under the 2023 Term Securitization) on a pro-rata basis as borrowers make payments on their VOI loans.
While ownership of the VOI receivables included in the 2023 Term Securitization is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these receivables is accounted for as a secured borrowing for financial accounting purposes. Accordingly, i no gain or loss was recognized as a result of this transaction.
Except as described above, there were i no new debt issuances or significant changes related to the above listed facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. See Note 10 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in its 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the receivable-backed notes payable facilities listed above.

i 8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The inputs used to measure fair value are classified into the following hierarchy:
|
|
Level 1: | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
|
|
Level 2: | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability |
|
|
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability |

i 9. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation Matters
In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits as plaintiff or defendant involving its operations and activities, including the purchase, sale, marketing, or financing of VOIs. Additionally, from time to time in the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in disputes with existing and former employees, vendors, taxing jurisdictions, and other individuals and entities, and it also receives individual consumer complaints as well as complaints received through regulatory and consumer agencies, including Offices of State Attorneys General. The Company takes these matters seriously and attempts to resolve any such issues as they arise.
Reserves are accrued for matters in which management believes it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe that the aggregate liability relating to known contingencies in excess of the aggregate amounts accrued will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and the actual costs of resolving legal claims, including awards of damages, may be substantially higher than the amounts accrued for these claims and may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
Management is not at this time able to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses with respect to matters in which it is reasonably possible that a loss will occur. In certain matters, management is unable to estimate the loss or reasonable range of loss until additional developments provide information sufficient to support an assessment of the loss or range of loss. Frequently in these matters, the claims are broad and the plaintiffs have not quantified or factually supported their claim.
Litigation
The following is a description of material legal proceedings pending against the Company or its subsidiaries or which were pending during the three months ended September 30, 2023:
On January 7, 2019, Shehan Wijesinha filed a purported class action lawsuit alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (the “TCPA”). It is alleged that Bluegreen’s wholly owned subsidiary Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited Inc. (“BVU”) called plaintiff’s cell phone for telemarketing purposes using an automated dialing system, and that plaintiff did not give BVU his express written consent to do so. Plaintiffs seek certification of a class comprised of other persons in the United States who received similar calls from or on behalf of BVU without the person’s consent. Plaintiff seeks monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and injunctive relief. Bluegreen believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action. On July 15, 2019, the court entered an order staying this case pending a ruling from the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) clarifying the definition of an automatic telephone dialing system under the TCPA and the decision of the Eleventh Circuit in a separate action brought against a VOI company by a plaintiff alleging violations of the TCPA. On January 7, 2020, the Eleventh Circuit issued a ruling consistent with BVU’s position, and on June 26, 2020, the FCC also issued a favorable ruling. The case was stayed pending the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Facebook, Inc. v. Duguid. On April 1, 2021, the Supreme Court issued a decision in the Facebook case which was favorable to Bluegreen’s position that an automatic telephone dialing system was not used in this case. Bluegreen believes the ruling disposes of the plaintiff’s claim and filed a Notice of Supplemental Authority advising the court of the ruling.
On July 18, 2019, Eddie Boyd, and Connie Boyd, Shaundre and Kimberly Laskey, and others similarly situated filed an action alleging that BVU and co-defendants violated the Missouri Merchandise Practices Act for allegedly making false statements and misrepresentations with respect to the sale of VOIs. Plaintiffs’ claims include a purported class action allegation that BVU’s charging of an administrative processing fee constitutes the unauthorized practice of law, and also that Bluegreen and its outside counsel engaged in abuse of process by filing a lawsuit against plaintiffs’ counsel (The Montgomery Law Firm). Plaintiffs seek monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and injunctive relief. On August 31, 2020, the court certified a class regarding the unauthorized practice of law claim, but dismissed the claims
regarding abuse of process. On January 11, 2021, the Court issued an order that the class members are not entitled to rescission of their contracts because they failed to plead fraud in the inducement. Plaintiffs filed a third amended petition to add Resort Title Agency, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Bluegreen) as a defendant. On July 29, 2022, Resort Title Agency, Inc. removed the case to the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, where the case is currently pending. Bluegreen has filed an opposition to the Plaintiffs’ Motion to Modify the Class Definition or Class Certification and has also moved for Summary Judgment against Plaintiffs. Bluegreen continues to vigorously defend the action.
On March 15, 2018, BVU entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Assets with T. Park Central, LLC, O. Park Central, LLC, and New York Urban Ownership Management, LLC, (collectively “New York Urban”) (“Purchase and Sale Agreement”), which provided for the purchase of The Manhattan Club inventory over a number of years and the management contract for The Manhattan Club Association, Inc. On October 7, 2019, New York Urban initiated arbitration proceedings against BVU alleging that The Manhattan Club Association, Inc. (of which BVU was a member) was obligated to pay an increased management fee to a New York Urban affiliate and that this higher amount would be the benchmark for BVU’s purchase of the management contract under the parties’ Purchase and Sale Agreement. New York Urban also sought damages in the arbitration proceedings in excess of $ i 10.0 million for promissory estoppel and tortious interference. On November 19, 2019, the parties participated in mediation but did not resolve the matter. On November 20, 2019, New York Urban sent a letter to BVU advising that it was: (1) withdrawing its arbitration demand; (2) notifying the Board that it was not seeking to execute the proposed amendment to the Management Agreement that was originally sent to Bluegreen on April 24, 2019; and (3) not going to pay itself a management fee for the 2020 operating year in an amount exceeding the 2019 operating year (i.e., $ i 6.5 million). On November 21, 2019, BVU sent New York Urban a Notice of Termination of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. On November 25, 2019, New York Urban sent its own Notice of Termination and a separate letter containing an offer to compromise if BVU resigned its position on the Board and permitted New York Urban to enforce its rights to the collateral. On November 29, 2019, BVU accepted the offer and on December 18, 2019, BVU provided New York Urban with resignations of its members on the Board of Directors.
On April 2, 2021, New York Urban initiated new arbitration proceedings against BVU, alleging it is owed over $ i 70.0 million for periodic inventory closings that have not occurred since the Purchase and Sale Agreement was terminated or that will not occur because of the termination. New York Urban also seeks over $ i 50.0 million because, due to the Purchase and Sale Agreement’s termination, the closing on the management contract will not occur. BVU believes it has strong defenses to these claims. The arbitration hearing has commenced and is ongoing. BVU continues to vigorously defend against New York Urban’s claims.
On August 30, 2020, over i 100 VOI owners at The Manhattan Club (“TMC”) sued BVU and certain unaffiliated entities (the “Non-Bluegreen Defendants”). The complaint includes claims arising out of alleged misrepresentations made during the sale of VOIs at TMC and certain post-sale operational practices, including allegedly charging owners excessive annual maintenance fees and implementing reservation policies that restrict the ability of VOI owners to use their points to access the resort while allowing the general public to make reservations. The plaintiffs assert in the complaint that Bluegreen acquired operational control of TMC from the Non-Bluegreen Defendants in 2018 and assumed joint liability for any prior wrongdoing by them. Bluegreen believes this assertion to be erroneous and that the claims against BVU are without merit. On September 27, 2021, the court granted Bluegreen’s motion to dismiss without prejudice and the Court declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state law claims. Plaintiffs have amended their complaint. BVU filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on December 29, 2021, which remains pending.
On September 14, 2021, Tamarah and Emmanuel Louis, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a purported class action lawsuit against BVU alleging it violated the Military Lending Act (“MLA”). The complaint alleges that BVU did not make any inquiry before offering financing to the plaintiffs as to whether they were members of the United States Military and allege other claims related to certain disclosures mandated by the MLA. BVU filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, and plaintiffs then filed an amended complaint on December 3, 2021. The District Court granted BVU’s motion to dismiss. An appeal of the District Court’s dismissal by the plaintiffs is pending before the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. BVU continues to vigorously defend this action on appeal.
On February 8, 2023, Denise Mecke, a former Missouri sales associate, filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri alleging various statutory and tort claims against Bluegreen, BVU and
nine current and former associates related to her termination from employment. Her initial demand letter sought $ i 7.0 million in damages. On March 31, 2023, defendants filed a motion to compel arbitration and dismiss the complaint, or, in the alternative, to stay this action. On October 12, 2023, the Court granted Bluegreen’s motion to compel arbitration and dismiss the complaint.
Commencing in 2015, it came to Bluegreen’s attention that its collection efforts with respect to its VOI notes receivable were being impacted by a then emerging, industry-wide trend involving the receipt of “cease and desist” letters from exit firms and their attorneys purporting to represent certain VOI owners. Following receipt of these letters, Bluegreen is unable to contact the owners unless allowed by law. Bluegreen believes these exit firms have encouraged such owners to become delinquent and ultimately default on their obligations and that such actions and its inability to contact the owners have been a material factor in the increase in its annual default rates. Bluegreen’s average annual default rates have increased from i 6.9% in 2015 to i 10.5% in 2023. Bluegreen also estimates that approximately i 9.1% of the total delinquencies on its VOI notes receivable as of September 30, 2023 related to VOI notes receivable are subject to this issue. Bluegreen has in a number of cases pursued, and Bluegreen may in the future pursue, legal action against the VOI owners, and as described below, against the exit firms.
On November 13, 2020, Bluegreen filed a lawsuit against timeshare exit firm, Carlsbad Law Group, LLP, and certain of its associated law firms and affiliates. On December 30, 2020, Bluegreen filed a lawsuit against timeshare exit firm, The Molfetta Law Firm, and certain of its associated law firms, affiliates, and cohorts, including Timeshare Termination (“TTT”). In both of these actions, Bluegreen makes substantially the same claims against the timeshare exit firms and its associated law firms and affiliates as those made in its action against The Montgomery Law Firm described in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In June 2021, counsel for TTT moved to withdraw, citing TTT’s insolvency. On October 1, 2021, the principals of TTT filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection, which matter has since been converted to a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. The principals of TTT have consented to entry of an injunction in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida as part of an agreement with Bluegreen. In addition, Bluegreen has reached a settlement with all remaining, non-bankrupt defendants in the Molfetta action. In the Carlsbad action, settlement has been reached with certain defendants, including Carlsbad Law Group, LLC. Bluegreen’s remaining claims in that case, which seek an injunction and disgorgement of profits against Pandora Marketing, LLC d/b/a Timeshare Compliance et al, proceeded to trial in August 2023 and Bluegreen received a favorable verdict for an immaterial amount.
Other Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
The Company, indirectly through Bluegreen and BVU, has an exclusive marketing agreement through 2024 with Bass Pro, a nationally-recognized retailer of fishing, marine, hunting, camping and sports gear, that provides the Company with the right to market and sell vacation packages at kiosks in each of Bass Pro’s retail locations and Cabela’s stores and through other means. As of September 30, 2023, Bluegreen had sales and marketing operations at a total of i 130 Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Stores, including i 19 unmanned, virtual kiosks. Pursuant to a settlement agreement Bluegreen entered into with Bass Pro and its affiliates during June 2019, Bluegreen paid Bass Pro $ i 20.0 million and agreed to, among other things, make i five annual payments to Bass Pro of $ i 4.0 million in January of each year, commencing in 2020. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, one such annual payment remained and $ i 3.9 million and $ i 3.8 million, respectively, were included in accrued liabilities and other in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets for such payment.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, VOI sales to prospects and leads generated by the agreement with Bass Pro accounted for approximately i 16% and i 18%, respectively, of Bluegreen’s VOI sales volume.
In lieu of paying maintenance fees for unsold VOI inventory, Bluegreen may enter into subsidy agreements with certain HOAs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, Bluegreen made subsidy payments under these agreements of $ i 18.7 million and $ i 10.3 million, respectively, which are included in cost of other fee-based services in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for such periods. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Bluegreen had $ i 7.7 million and $ i 0.6 million, respectively, accrued for such subsidies, which is included in accrued liabilities and other in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets as of such dates.
i 10. Equity
Share Repurchases
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did i not repurchase any shares of common stock under its share repurchase program. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased and retired approximately i 843,000 and i 1,912,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $ i 23.6 million and $ i 54.4 million, respectively. The excess of cost over par value of the repurchased shares is recorded to additional paid in capital. As of September 30, 2023, $ i 8.3 million remained available for the repurchase of shares under the share repurchase program.
Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plans
The Bluegreen Vacations Holding Corporation 2021 Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) provides for the issuance of up to i 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock pursuant to restricted stock awards and options which may be granted. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company granted restricted stock awards of i 318,811 shares to certain executive officers and employees under the 2021 Plan, of which i 150,000 restricted shares are scheduled to cliff vest in January 2027 and i 168,811 restricted shares are scheduled to vest ratably over i 4 years, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the 2021 Plan and the applicable award agreement. There were i 208,035 shares of restricted stock granted to officers and employees under the 2021 Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, i 791,862 shares remained available for grant under the 2021 Plan.
Restricted Stock Activity
The Company accounts for compensation cost for unvested time-based service condition restricted stock awards based on the fair value of the award on the measurement date, which is generally the grant date. The cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, with forfeitures recognized as incurred. The table below sets forth information regarding the Company’s unvested restricted stock award activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

The Company’s effective income tax rate was approximately i 28% and i 27% during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and i i 27 / % during both the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Effective income tax rates for interim periods are based upon the Company’s then current estimated annual rate. The effective income tax rate varies based upon the estimate of taxable earnings as well as on the mix of taxable earnings in the various states in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate. As such, the Company’s effective tax rates for the 2023 and 2022 periods reflect an estimate of its annual taxable earnings, state taxes, non-deductible items and changes in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets for each respective year.
In April 2023, the Company received notice that its U.S. federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2020 was selected for examination. In addition, certain of the Company’s state filings are under routine examination. While there is no assurance as to the results of these audits, the Company does not currently anticipate any material adjustments in connection with these examinations.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company did i not have any significant amounts accrued for interest and penalties or recorded for uncertain tax positions.

i 14. Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Reportable segments consist of one or more operating segments with similar economic characteristics, products and services, production processes, type of customer, distribution system or regulatory environment.
The Company reports its results through i two reportable segments: (i) Sales of VOIs and Financing; and (ii) Resort Operations and Club Management.
The Sales of VOIs and Financing segment includes the Company’s marketing and sales activities related to the VOIs that are owned by the Company, VOIs it acquires under just-in-time and secondary market inventory arrangements, and sales of VOIs through fee-for-service arrangements with third-party developers, as well as consumer financing activities in connection with sales of VOIs owned by the Company, and title services operations.
The Resort Operations and Club Management segment includes management services activities for the Vacation Club and for a majority of the HOAs of the resorts within the Vacation Club. The Company also provides reservation services, services to owners and billing and collections services to the Vacation Club and certain HOAs, which are included in the resort operations and club management segment. Additionally, this segment includes revenue from the Traveler Plus program, food and beverage and other retail operations, rental services activities, and management of construction activities for certain fee-based developer clients.
The information provided for segment reporting is obtained from internal reports utilized by management. The CODM primarily uses adjusted earnings, or net income, before taking into account income taxes, interest income (excluding interest earned on VOI notes receivable), interest expense (excluding interest expense incurred on debt secured by VOI notes receivable), and depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to evaluate the reporting segments’ performance. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for information regarding Adjusted EBITDA, including our definition of Adjusted EBITDA.
The presentation and allocation of results of operations may not reflect the actual economic costs of the segments as standalone businesses. Due to the nature of the Company’s business, assets are not allocated to a particular segment, and therefore management does not evaluate the balance sheet by segment. If a different basis of allocation were utilized, the relative contributions of the segments might differ but the relative trends in the segments’ operating results would, in management’s view, likely not be impacted.
The table below sets forth the Company’s revenue for its reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and can be identified by the use of words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “projects,” “predicts,” “seeks,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “could,” “outlook,” “potential,” and similar expressions or words and phrases of similar import. Forward-looking statements speak only of the date made and include, among others, statements relating to the Company’s future financial performance, business prospects and strategy, anticipated financial position, liquidity and capital needs, and industry, market, and general economic conditions and trends, including rising interest rates, inflation, and decreases in discretionary spending and the impact thereof on the Company. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, among others, the following:
·BVH has limited sources of cash and is dependent upon distributions from Bluegreen to fund its costs of operations;
·the risk that the acquisition of the Company by Hilton Grand Vacations Inc.(“HGV”) pursuant to the merger agreement entered into on November 5, 2023 may not be consummated on the contemplated terms, when expected, or at all, including that required regulatory approvals may not be obtained or the other conditions to closing the transaction may not be satisfied;
·risks associated with the Company’s indebtedness, including that the Company will be required to utilize cash flow to service its indebtedness, that indebtedness may make the Company more vulnerable to economic downturns, and that indebtedness may subject the Company to covenants and restrictions on its operations and activities as well as the payment of dividends;
·risks associated with the adverse impact of economic conditions, including supply chain constraints, labor shortages, rising interest rates, decreases in discretionary spending, and inflationary trends, on the Company’s operations and results, including its sales of vacation packages, the price and liquidity of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, the performance of the Company’s vacation ownership interest (“VOI”) notes receivable, and the Company’s ability to obtain additional capital, including the risk that if the Company needs or otherwise believes it is advisable to issue debt or equity securities or to incur indebtedness in order to fund the Company’s operations or investments, it may not be able to issue any such securities or obtain such indebtedness on favorable terms, or at all, and any issuance could result in the dilution of the interests of the Company’s current shareholders;
·risks relating to the availability of financing, the Company’s ability to sell, securitize or borrow against its VOI notes receivable on acceptable terms, and the Company’s ability to successfully increase its credit facility capacity or enter into capital market transactions or other alternatives to provide for sufficient available cash for a sustained period of time;
·risks associated with adverse conditions in the stock market, the public debt market, and other capital markets and the impact of such conditions on the Company, as well as risks associated with any failure by the Company to maintain compliance with the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”);
·risks related to potential business expansion, such as potential resort, land and development activity acquisitions, or the pursuit of strategic transactions or opportunities, including that they may involve significant costs and the incurrence of significant indebtedness and may not be successful and that planned VOI inventory acquisitions may not be completed;
·risks that the Company’s efforts and expenses, including those aimed at enhancing the experience of Bluegreen Vacation Club Members, may be greater than anticipated and may not result in the benefits anticipated;
·risks relating to public health issues and the effects thereof, including changes in consumer behavior and preferences and potential future increases in default and delinquency rates;
·adverse changes to, expirations or terminations of, or interruptions in, and other risks relating to the Company’s business and strategic relationships, management contracts, exchange networks or other strategic marketing alliances, including the scheduled expiration of the Company’s marketing relationship with Bass Pro at the end of 2024 and the impact of any such expiration on the Company, including its Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations subsidiary (which is a joint venture with an affiliate of Bass Pro) and that the relationships with Bass Pro and Choice Hotels may not be as profitable as anticipated, or at all, or otherwise not result in the anticipated benefits;
·the risks of the real estate market and the risks associated with real estate development, including a decline in real estate values and a deterioration of other conditions relating to the real estate market and real estate development, and the risks associated with the Company’s ability to maintain adequate, sufficient or desired amounts of VOI inventory for sale;
·risks associated with the Company’s ability to comply with applicable regulations, and the costs of compliance efforts or a failure to comply, including risks associated with the Company’s ability to maintain the integrity of internal or customer data, the failure of which could result in damage to its reputation and/or subject the Company to costs, fines or lawsuits;
·risks associated with adverse trends or disruptions in economic conditions generally or in the vacation ownership, vacation rental and travel industries, the Company’s ability to compete effectively in the highly competitive vacation ownership industry and against hotel and other hospitality and lodging alternatives and decreased demand from prospective purchasers of VOIs;
·risks related to our efforts to increase our VOI notes receivable portfolio, including that we may not generate additional interest income or otherwise realize the anticipated benefits of such efforts to the extent anticipated or at all;
·risks associated with the Company’s customers’ compliance with their payment obligations under financing provided by the Company, including due to rising interest rates, inflationary trends, and the increased presence and efforts of “timeshare-exit” firms; the risk that actions which the Company has taken or may take in response to the efforts of “timeshare-exit” firms may not be successful; and the impact of defaults on the Company’s operating results and liquidity position;
·risks associated with the ratings of third-party rating agencies, including the impact of any downgrade on the Company’s ability to obtain, renew or extend credit facilities, or otherwise raise funds;
·changes in the Company’s business model and marketing efforts, plans or strategies, which may cause marketing expenses to increase or adversely impact its operating results and financial condition, and such expenses as well as the Company’s investments, including investments in new and expanded sales offices, and other sales and marketing initiatives, including screening methods, and data driven analysis, may not result in the benefits anticipated;
·risks associated with technology and factors which may impact the Company’s telemarketing efforts, including cell phone technologies that identify or block marketing vendor calls and regulatory changes;
·risks associated with the Company’s relationships with third-party developers, including that third-party developers who provide VOIs to be sold by the Company pursuant to fee-based or just-in-time arrangements may not provide VOIs when planned and that they may not fulfill their obligations to the Company or to the homeowners’ associations that maintain the resorts they developed;
·risks associated with legal proceedings and regulatory proceedings, examinations or audits of the Company’s operations, including claims of noncompliance with applicable regulations or for development related defects, and the impact they may have on the Company’s financial condition and operating results;
·risks associated with the audit of the Company’s federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2020 and state and other audits of the Company or its subsidiaries’ tax returns, including that they may result in the imposition of additional taxes;
·environmental liabilities, including claims with respect to mold or hazardous or toxic substances, and their impact on the Company’s financial condition and operating results;
·risks that natural disasters, including hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, floods and windstorms, and other acts of God and conditions beyond the control of the Company may adversely impact the Company’s financial condition and operating results, including due to any damage to physical assets or interruption of access to physical assets or operations resulting therefrom, and the frequency or severity of natural disasters may increase due to climate change or other factors;
·risks of cybersecurity threats, including the potential misappropriation of assets or confidential information, corruption of data or operational disruptions;
·the updating of, and developments with respect to, information technology and computer systems, including the cost of updating technology and the impact that any failure to keep pace with developments in technology could have on the Company’s operations or competitive position, and the Company’s information technology expenditures may not result in the expected benefits;
·the Company may not pay dividends in the future when or in the amount expected, or at all; and
·the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) involves making estimates, judgments and assumptions, and any changes in estimates, judgments and assumptions used could have a material adverse impact on the financial condition and operating results of the Company.

Executive Overview
Bluegreen is a leading vacation ownership company that markets and sells VOIs and manages resorts in popular leisure and urban destinations. We operate our business in the following two segments:
VOI Sales and Financing
Bluegreen’s primary business is the marketing and sale of deeded VOIs. Customers who purchase these VOIs receive an allotment of points, which can be redeemed for stays at one of Bluegreen’s resorts or at 11,600 other hotels and resorts available through partnerships and exchange networks. In connection with sales of VOIs, Bluegreen also generates interest income by providing financing to qualified purchasers. Collateralized by the underlying VOIs,
Bluegreen’s loans are generally structured as 10-year, fully-amortizing loans with a fixed interest rate ranging from approximately 12% to approximately 18% per annum. During 2023, Bluegreen commenced VOI sales operations at its Bayside Resort & Spa in Panama City Beach, Florida and Bluegreen Downtown Nashville in Nashville, Tennessee.
Resort Operations and Club Management
Bluegreen has entered into management agreements with the HOAs that maintain most of the resorts in Bluegreen’s Vacation Club and earns fees for providing management services to those HOAs and the approximately 216,000 Vacation Club owners. These resort management services include providing oversight of front desk operations, housekeeping services, maintenance, and certain accounting and administrative functions. In connection with the management services provided to the Vacation Club, Bluegreen manages the reservation system and provides owner, billing and collection services.
Key Business and Financial Metrics Used by Management
Management uses several key business and financial metrics that are specific to or typically utilized in the vacation ownership industry. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders are discussed below. For a discussion of the other metrics, see “Key Business and Financial Metrics Used by Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders
The Company defines EBITDA as earnings, or net income, before taking into account income taxes, interest income (excluding interest earned on VOI notes receivable), interest expense (excluding interest expense incurred on debt secured by VOI notes receivable), and depreciation and amortization. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, adjusted to exclude amounts of loss (gain) on assets held for sale, share-based compensation expense, and items that the Company believes are not representative of ongoing operating results. Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders is Adjusted EBITDA excluding amounts attributable to the non-controlling interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations (in which Bluegreen owns a 51% interest). For purposes of the calculation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders, no adjustments were made for interest income earned on VOI notes receivable or the interest expense incurred on debt that is secured by such notes receivable because they are both considered to be part of the ordinary operations of the Company’s business.
The Company considers EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders to be indicators of operating performance, and they are used by the Company to measure its ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand its business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by companies, lenders, investors and others because they exclude certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders also exclude depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity, including cash flow, derived in accordance with GAAP, or to any other method or analyzing results as reported under GAAP. The limitations of using EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders as an analytical tool include, without limitation, that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders do not reflect: (i) changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; (ii) interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on indebtedness (other than as noted above); (iii) tax expense or the cash requirements to pay taxes; (iv) historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; or (v) the effect on earnings or changes
resulting from matters that the Company does not believe to be indicative of future operations or performance. Further, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders do not reflect any cash that may be required for such replacements. In addition, the Company’s definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders may not be comparable to definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders or other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Reportable Segments Results of Operations
Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:
The Company considers Segment Adjusted EBITDA in connection with its evaluation of its business segments as described in Note 14 “Segment Reporting” to the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. See above for information relating to Adjusted EBITDA, including the Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA and related measures and material limitations on its usefulness. The following tables set forth Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders, EBITDA and a reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Shareholders to net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure:

(1)Bluegreen owned VOI sales represent sales of VOIs acquired or developed by Bluegreen.
(2)Percentages for provision for loan losses are calculated as a percentage of gross sales of VOIs, which excludes Fee-Based sales (and not as a percentage of system-wide sales of VOIs).
(3)Percentages for costs of VOIs sold and gross profit are calculated as a percentage of sales of VOIs (and not as a percentage of system-wide sales of VOIs).
(4)Percentages for Fee-Based sales commission revenue are calculated as a percentage of Fee-Based sales (and not as a percentage of system-wide sales of VOIs).
(5)Represents the applicable line item, calculated as a percentage of system-wide sales of VOIs unless otherwise indicated in the above footnotes.
System-wide sales of VOIs. System-wide sales of VOIs were $216.1 million and $206.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $583.7 million and $556.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. System-wide sales of VOIs are driven by the number of guests attending a timeshare sale presentation (a “guest tour”) and our ability to convert guest tours into purchases of VOIs. The number of guest tours is driven by the number of existing owner guests Bluegreen has staying at a resort with a sales center who agree to attend a sales presentation and the number of new guest arrivals, the majority of which are utilizing a vacation package. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we experienced an increase in the number of existing owner tours partially offset by a decrease in new guest tours which resulted in an overall 2% increase in the total number of guest tours for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The total number of guest tours for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 was relatively consistent. Further, the average sales volume per guest increased 4% during the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 and increased 3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in the average sales volume per guest during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was the result of our focus on increasing the proportion of tours by owners
and higher average sales volume per guest for both existing owners and new customers. The increase in average volume per guest overall reflects a 6% increase in the average sales price per transaction during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, partially offset by 30 basis-point and 50 basis-point decreases, respectively, in the sale-to-tour conversion ratio during the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022 and the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the comparable 2022 period as we continue to focus on larger transaction sizes.
System-wide sales include both Bluegreen-owned sales and Fee-Based Sales. Sales by category are based on which deeded VOI is conveyed in the transaction. The individual VOIs sold are based on several factors, including the needs of fee-based clients, the Company’s debt service requirements and default resale requirements under term securitizations and similar transactions. These factors and business initiatives contribute to fluctuations in the amount of sales by category from period to period.
Sales of VOIs. Sales of VOIs were $159.3 million and $155.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $433.3 million and $398.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Sales of VOIs were impacted by the factors described in the discussion of system-wide sales of VOIs above, the proportion of Fee-Based VOI sales and the provision for loan losses. Gross sales of VOIs were reduced by $32.9 million and $30.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $87.5 million and $73.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, for the provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses varies for periods depending on the amount of financed, non-fee-based sales during the period and changes in estimates of future VOI notes receivable performance for existing and newly originated loans. The provision for loan losses as a percentage of gross sales of VOIs was 17% during both the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and 17% and 16% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in the provision for loan losses as a percentage of gross sales of VOIs during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to a higher proportion of VOI sales financed by us in the 2023 period, resulting in a higher provision for loan losses, reflecting our decision to seek to grow our VOI notes receivable portfolio in an effort to generate additional interest income.
Average annual default rates and delinquency rates have increased during the 2023 periods as compared to the 2022 periods due to higher sales of VOIs in recent years, the aging of the portfolio (default rates are generally highest in the second and third year after origination), and overall economic conditions. The average annual default rates and delinquency rates (more than 30 days past due) on our VOI notes receivable were as follows:

These items are excluded for purposes of calculating the delinquency rates above.

Cost of VOIs Sold. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, cost of VOIs sold was $20.2 million and $14.8 million, respectively. Cost of VOIs sold was $52.9 million and $44.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cost of VOIs sold as a percentage of sales was 13% and 10% during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 12% and 11% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cost of VOIs sold as a percentage of sales of VOIs varies between periods based on the relative costs of the specific VOIs sold in each period and the size of the point packages of the VOIs sold (due to offered volume discounts, including consideration of cumulative sales to existing owners). Additionally, the effect of changes in estimates under the relative sales value method, including estimates of sales, future defaults, upgrades and incremental revenue from the resale of repossessed VOI inventory, are reflected on a retrospective basis in the period the change occurs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, approximately $3.7 million of cost of VOIs sold related to these true-ups, compared to approximately $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Beginning in June 2022, we reinstated certain equity trade programs that were discontinued during 2020 that allow owners to use the equity in an existing VOI towards the purchase of additional VOI inventory. Cost of sales is typically favorably impacted in periods where a significant amount of Secondary Market VOI inventory is acquired or actual defaults and equity trades are higher than anticipated and the resulting change in estimate is recognized. Cost of VOIs sold as a percentage of sales of VOIs was higher for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to the relative mix of inventory sold, partially offset by the timing of secondary market purchases and the reinstatement of certain equity trade programs beginning June 2022.
Fee-Based Sales Commission Revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, Bluegreen sold $23.9 million and $20.9 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, Bluegreen sold $63.0 million and $84.6 million, respectively, of third-party VOI inventory under commission arrangements and earned sales and marketing commissions of $15.7 million and $14.2 million during the three months ended September 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $41.3 million and $57.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, in connection with those sales. The sales of third-party developer inventory on a commission basis reflects Bluegreen’s focus on selling Bluegreen owned VOIs. Bluegreen earned an average sales and marketing commission of 66% and 68% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which is net of a reserve for commission refunds in connection with certain customer defaults and cancellations pursuant to the terms of certain fee-based service arrangements. Bluegreen typically recognizes a sales and marketing commission between 65% and 68% on sales of third-party VOI inventory.
Financing Revenue, Net of Financing Expense — Sales of VOIs. Interest income on VOIs notes receivable was $31.4 million and $25.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was partially offset by interest expense on receivable-backed debt of $9.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively. Interest income on VOIs notes receivable was $88.6 million and $71.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was partially offset by interest expense on receivable-backed debt of $23.8 million and $12.3 million, respectively. The increase in financing revenue, net of financing expense in the 2023 periods as
compared to the 2022 periods is primarily due to higher VOI notes receivable balances reflecting continued growth in VOI sales and Bluegreen’s efforts to increase the amount of VOI sales financed by it, partially offset by higher outstanding receivable-backed debt balances and higher interest rates on such debt.
Other Fee-Based Services — Title Operations and other, net. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, revenue from title operations was $4.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively, which was partially offset by expenses directly related to title operations of $2.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, revenue from title operations was $10.7 million and $10.2 million, respectively, which was partially offset by expenses directly related to title operations of $6.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Resort title fee revenue varies based on VOI sales volumes as well as the title costs in the jurisdictions where the inventory being sold is located.
Net Carrying Cost of VOI Inventory. The gross carrying cost of VOI inventory was $8.5 million and $11.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was partially offset by rental and sampler revenues of $5.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively. The gross carrying cost of VOI inventory was $28.4 million and $32.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was partially offset by rental and sampler revenues of $15.7 million and $19.4 million, respectively. The decrease in net carrying costs of VOI inventory was primarily related to lower maintenance fees paid by Bluegreen and higher marketing use of inventory, partially offset by higher developer subsidies paid by Bluegreen associated with the timing of acquisitions of VOI inventory, lower rental revenue and lower sampler revenue. In certain circumstances, marketing costs are offset by using inventory for marketing guest stays. Recent and planned acquisitions of VOI inventory are expected to increase developer subsidies in the near future. However, there is no assurance that any planned or other potential future acquisitions will be completed or successful.
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses were $115.8 million and $116.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Selling and marketing expenses were $314.9 million and $312.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As a percentage of system-wide sales, selling and marketing expenses were 54% and 56% during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of system-wide sales was driven by decreases in marketing cost and sales commissions expense and a higher proportion of sales to existing owners, which generally require lower selling and marketing expenses than sales to new customers. Sales to existing owners increased from 52.1% of system-wide sales during the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 54.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and increased from 54.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to 56.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The efficiency associated with increased sales to existing owners was partially offset by costs incurred in 2023 to invest in and expand our sales and marketing operations, including costs in connection with the commencement of VOI sales at Bayside Resort & Spa in Panama City Beach, Florida and Bluegreen Downtown Nashville in Nashville, Tennessee.
Marketing expense also decreased during the 2023 periods as a result of the previously disclosed transition of kiosks at certain Cabela’s stores to an unmanned, virtual format and the exiting of certain kiosks at malls, as of January 1, 2023. The operation of fewer manned locations lowered overall costs and allowed us to focus on higher producing locations. As a result, we increased the number of vacation packages sold during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 by 13% and 9%, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The active pipeline of vacation packages decreased to 162,532 at September 30, 2023 from 169,950 at September 30, 2022 based on vacation packages used or expired, net of new package sales. During the second, third and fourth quarters of 2022, Bluegreen reorganized its retail marketing operations, temporarily reducing its package sales and pipeline of vacation packages.

Resort Operations and Club Management Revenue. Resort operations and club management revenue increased 8% and 16% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Cost reimbursement revenue, which consists of payroll and other operating expenses which we incur and pass through to the HOAs, increased 12% and 29% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in cost reimbursement revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in headcount due to the operation of additional resorts and higher wages and insurance expense. Excluding cost reimbursement revenue, resort operations and club management revenues increased 5% and 8% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to an increase in management fees commensurate with higher resort operating costs and the addition of three resort management contracts. Our resort network included a total of 72 and 69 Club and Club Associate Resorts as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We managed 53 and 50 Club Resorts and Club Associate Resorts as of September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Resort Operations and Club Management Expense. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, resort operations and club management expense increased 11% and 22%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase during the 2023 periods was primarily due to increased compensation costs incurred as a result of higher staffing levels and a competitive labor market and increased insurance expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses — Corporate and Other. General and administrative expenses directly attributable to corporate overhead were $24.8 million and $76.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $21.8 million and $68.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. respectively. The increase during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to higher executive compensation, including share based compensation, as well as higher medical and other insurance costs.
Interest Expense. Interest expense unrelated to receivable-backed debt was $8.1 million and $24.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $4.2 million and $11.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The increase in such interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the higher weighted-average cost of borrowing and higher weighted-average outstanding borrowings in each case, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The weighted average cost of borrowing excluding receivable-backed debt as of September 30, 2023 was approximately 12.1% compared to approximately 7.5% as of September 30, 2022.
Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest. The Company includes in its consolidated financial statements the results of operations and financial condition of Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, Bluegreen’s 51%-owned subsidiary. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest is the portion of Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations’ net income that is attributable to Big Cedar LLC, which holds the remaining 49% interest in Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $4.8 million and $13.3 million, respectively, compared to $4.7 million and $12.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interest for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily reflects higher sales of VOIs and operating profit at Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations.
BVH Corporate and Other
BVH Corporate and Other in the Company’s segment information primarily includes the following:
·BVH’s corporate general and administrative expenses;
·Interest expense associated with Woodbridge’s junior subordinated debentures and BVH’s outstanding note payable to BBX Capital; and
·Interest income on interest-bearing cash accounts.
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
BVH’s corporate general and administrative expenses were $0.7 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and consist primarily of costs associated with BVH being a publicly traded company (including, but not limited to, executive compensation, shareholder relations, and legal and audit expenses).
Interest Expense
BVH’s interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $2.1 million and $5.5 million, respectively, compared to $1.8 million and $4.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Interest expense includes $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $0.8 million and $2.3 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, of interest expense on the note payable to BBX Capital issued in connection with the spin-off of BBX Capital in September 2020. Included in interest expense for the 2023 periods is a $0.9 million gain on the $15.0 million repayment of the note payable to BBX Capital in May 2023. See the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of the of terms of BVH’s note payable to BBX Capital.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $7.8 million and $20.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $8.6 million and $20.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 28% and 27% during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 27% during both of the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The effective income tax rate differed from the expected federal income tax rate of 21% due to the impact of the Company’s nondeductible executive compensation and state income taxes.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The Company’s operating cash flow decreased $129.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily reflecting the following:
·an increase in our VOI notes receivable portfolio; reflecting higher VOI sales and our effort to increase our receivable portfolio;
·the acquisitions of a resort in Nashville, Tennessee for $53.6 million and a resort close to Branson, Missouri for $7.2 million and other VOI inventory acquisition and development activities;
·an increase in interest paid on borrowings; and
·changes in working capital during the 2023 period.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $13.5 million and $9.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and consisted primarily of spending on IT equipment and sales office expansions and renovations.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities increased $75.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to a $25.5 million increase in net borrowings in the 2023 period which was largely attributable to the 2023 Term Securitization described further below. Additionally, the Company repurchased $54.4 million of shares of its common stock in the 2022 period with no such repurchases in the 2023 period. These increases were partially offset by $10.2 million of dividends paid in the 2023 period compared to $6.1 million in the 2022 period.
For additional information on the availability of cash from existing credit facilities, as well as repayment obligations, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
Seasonality
The Company has historically experienced, and expects to continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in its revenues and results of operations. This seasonality has resulted, and may continue to result, in fluctuations in quarterly operating results. Due to consumer travel patterns, we typically experience more tours and higher VOI sales volume during the second and third quarters.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
BVH Parent Company
BVH, at its parent company level, is a holding company with limited operations. It currently expects to incur approximately $2.0 million to $2.5 million annually in executive compensation expenses and public company costs and annual interest expense of approximately $6.5 million to $7.5 million associated with the junior subordinated debentures issued by Woodbridge, a wholly owned subsidiary of BVH, and BVH’s note payable to BBX Capital, each as described below. These amounts are based on current expectations and assumptions, currently available information and, with respect to interest expense on Woodbridge’s junior subordinated debentures, interest rates as of September 30, 2023. Such assumptions and expectations may not prove to be accurate, interest rates may continue to increase and, accordingly or otherwise, actual expenses may exceed the amounts expected.
As of September 30, 2023, BVH, excluding its subsidiaries, had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.0 million. Its primary source of liquidity for the foreseeable future is expected to be its available cash and cash equivalents, and distributions from Bluegreen. BVH is dependent on the payment of dividends by Bluegreen to fund its operations and debt service requirements in future periods. There is no assurance that Bluegreen will pay dividends in the amounts required to fund BVH’s needs or at all.
In connection with the spin-off of BBX Capital in September 2020, BVH issued a $75.0 million note payable to BBX Capital that accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum and requires payments of interest on a quarterly basis. Under the terms of the note, BVH has the option in its discretion to defer interest payments under the note, with interest on the entire outstanding balance thereafter to accrue at a cumulative, compounded rate of 8% per annum until such time as all accrued payments under the note are brought current, including deferred interest. As of December 31, 2022, $50.0 million was outstanding on the note. In March 2023, the Company repaid $15.0 million of the note payable for $14.1 million and recognized a gain of $0.9 million, leaving a remaining balance of $35.0 million as of September 30, 2023. All outstanding amounts under the note will become due and payable in September 2025 or earlier upon certain other events.
As of September 30, 2023, Woodbridge had $65.4 million of junior subordinated debentures outstanding. Effective July 1, 2023, the junior subordinated debentures bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus 0.26% and a margin of 3.80% to 3.85%. Woodbridge’s junior subordinated debentures mature between 2035 and 2036 and require interest payments on a quarterly basis.
Except as otherwise noted, the debts and obligations of Bluegreen are not direct obligations of BVH and generally are non-recourse to BVH. Similarly, the assets of Bluegreen are not available to BVH absent a distribution. Furthermore, certain of Bluegreen’s credit facilities contain terms which could limit the payment of distributions without the lender’s consent or waiver. BVH may also seek additional liquidity in the future from outside sources, including traditional bank financing, secured or unsecured indebtedness, or the issuance of equity and/or debt securities. However, these alternatives may not be available to BVH on attractive terms, or at all. The inability to raise funds through such sources when or to the extent needed would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.
In August 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program which authorized the repurchase of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at an aggregate cost of up to $40.0 million. In March 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved a $50.0 million increase in the aggregate cost of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock that may be repurchased under the program. The Company repurchased and retired 1,911,980 shares of Class A Common Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 for an aggregate purchase price of $54.4 million with no such repurchases during the 2023 period. As of September 30, 2023, $8.3 million remained available for the repurchase of shares under the Company’s share repurchase program.
In each of the first, second and third quarters of 2023, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend on its Class A and Class B Common stock of $0.20 per share, which totaled $3.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $10.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. During each of the second and third quarter of 2022,
the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend on its Class A and Class B Common Stock of $0.15 per share which totaled $2.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and $6.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
In April 2023, the Company received notice that its U.S. federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2020 was selected for examination. In addition, certain of the Company’s state filings are under routine examination. While there is no assurance as to the results of these audits, the Company does not currently anticipate any material adjustments in connection with these examinations.
Bluegreen
The Company believes that Bluegreen has sufficient liquidity from the sources described below to fund its operations, including its anticipated working capital, capital expenditure, and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future, subject to the success of its operations and initiatives and the ongoing availability of credit.
Bluegreen’s primary sources of funds from internal operations are: (i) cash sales; (ii) down payments on VOI sales which are financed; (iii) proceeds from borrowings collateralized by notes receivable; (iv) cash from finance operations; and (v) net cash generated from sales and marketing fee-based services and other fee-based services, including resort management operations.
The ability to borrow against notes receivable from VOI buyers has been important to Bluegreen’s continued liquidity. A financed VOI buyer is generally only required to pay a minimum of 10% of the purchase price in cash at the time of sale; however, selling, marketing and administrative expenses attributable to the sale are primarily cash expenses that generally exceed a buyer’s minimum required down payment. Accordingly, having financing facilities available to borrow against Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable has been important to its ability to meet its short and long-term cash needs. Bluegreen has attempted to maintain a number of diverse financing facilities. Historically, Bluegreen has relied on the term securitization market in order to generate liquidity and create capacity in its receivable facilities. In addition, maintaining adequate VOI inventory to sell and also pursue growth into new markets requires Bluegreen to use cash on hand or incur debt for the acquisition, construction and development of new resorts. We expect to spend between $30.0 million and $35.0 million in possible resort acquisitions and development expenditures during the fourth quarter of 2023 which includes development activity at resorts in Missouri, Tennessee, Colorado and Florida. Bluegreen may continue to pursue opportunities for new resort or land acquisitions. There is no assurance that any resort, land or development activity or acquisitions will be completed or successful.
Bluegreen has in the past entered into agreements with third-party developers that allow Bluegreen to buy VOI inventory, typically on a non-committed basis, prior to when it intends to sell such VOIs. Bluegreen has also entered into secondary market arrangements with certain HOAs and others, typically on a non-committed basis, which allow Bluegreen to acquire VOIs generally at a significant discount, as such VOIs are typically obtained by the HOAs through foreclosure in connection with maintenance fee defaults. Acquisition expenditures for JIT and secondary market inventory, both of which are considered Bluegreen-owned inventory, is expected to range between $3.0 million and $5.0 million during the remainder of 2023.
As described above, Bluegreen’s ability to borrow against its VOI notes receivable has historically been a significant source of liquidity. If Bluegreen is unable to renew credit facilities or obtain new credit facilities, Bluegreen’s business, results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition would be materially, adversely impacted.
In June 2023, Bluegreen completed a private offering and sale of $214.6 million of VOI receivable-backed notes (the “2023 Term Securitization”). The 2023 Term Securitization consisted of the issuance of three tranches of VOI receivable-backed notes (collectively, the “Notes”) with a weighted average coupon rate of approximately 6.32% and a maturity date in November 2038. The gross advance rate for this transaction was 85.5%. The amount of the VOI receivables sold to BXG Receivables Note Trust 2023-A (the “Trust”) in the transaction was approximately $251.0 million. The gross proceeds of such sales to the Trust were $212.2 million. A portion of the proceeds were used to: repay all amounts outstanding under Bluegreen’s existing VOI receivable-backed notes purchase facility (approximately $181.6 million); capitalize a reserve fund; and pay fees and expenses associated with the transaction. The remainder of the gross proceeds from the 2023 Term Securitization were used for general corporate purposes. The Purchase Facility allows for maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $250.0 million on a
revolving basis through September 30, 2025, subject to eligible collateral and the other terms and conditions of the facility. Thus, additional availability of approximately $181.6 million in the aggregate is expected as a result of the repayment described above.
Subject to performance of the collateral, Bluegreen will receive any excess cash flows generated by the receivables transferred under the 2023 Term Securitization (excess meaning after payments of customary fees, interest and principal under the 2023 Term Securitization) on a pro-rata basis as borrowers make payments on their VOI loans.
While ownership of the VOI receivables included in the 2023 Term Securitization is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these receivables is accounted for as a secured borrowing for financial accounting purposes. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized as a result of this transaction.
Bluegreen has $33.2 million of required contractual obligations due to be paid within one year, as well as two financing facilities with advance periods that will expire within one year. While there is no assurance that Bluegreen will be successful, Bluegreen intends to seek to renew or extend its debt and extend its advance periods on certain facilities.
Bluegreen’s level of debt and debt service requirements have several important effects on its operations and in turn on the Company, including that: (i) significant debt service cash requirements reduce the funds available for operations and future business opportunities and increase Bluegreen’s vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, as well as conditions in the credit markets, generally; (ii) Bluegreen’s leverage position increases its vulnerability to economic and competitive pressures; (iii) the financial covenants and other restrictions contained in indentures, credit agreements and other agreements relating to its indebtedness require Bluegreen to meet certain financial tests and may restrict Bluegreen’s ability to, among other things, pay dividends, borrow additional funds, dispose of assets or make investments; and (iv) Bluegreen’s leverage position may limit funds available for acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures, dividends and other general corporate purposes. Certain of Bluegreen’s competitors may operate on a less leveraged basis and may have greater operating and financial flexibility than Bluegreen does.
Credit Facilities for Receivables with Future Availability
Bluegreen maintains various credit facilities with financial institutions which allow Bluegreen to borrow against or sell its VOI notes receivable. As of September 30, 2023, Bluegreen had the following credit facilities with future availability, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable facility (dollars in thousands):

NBA Receivables Facility. On July 28, 2023, Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations amended the National Bank of Arizona Receivables Facility with the National Bank of Arizona (“NBA”) to extend the revolving advance period from September 2023 to July 2026 and the maturity date from March 2028 to January 2031. In addition, pursuant to the Amended NBA Receivables Facility, the interest rate on all new advances made under the facility will be one month term SOFR plus 1.75% (with an interest rate floor of 2.50%) with prior advances at SOFR plus 2.25% (with an interest rate floor of 3.00%). The Amended NBA Receivables Facility provides for advances at a rate of 80% on eligible receivables pledged under the facility, subject to eligible collateral and specified terms and conditions, during the revolving credit period. The maximum borrowings allowed under the facility remains at $70.0 million. Subject to the terms of the Amended NBA Receivables Facility, principal and interest payments received on pledged receivables are applied to principal and interest due under the facility, with the remaining outstanding balance being due by maturity. In addition, recourse to Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations will be limited to the greater of 15% of the outstanding borrowings and $5 million.
Pacific Western Facility. In October 2023, we repaid the Pacific Western Facility and the facility has been terminated.
See Note 10 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information with respect to Bluegreen’s receivable-backed notes payable facilities.
Other Credit Facilities
Fifth Third Syndicated Line-of-Credit and Fifth Third Syndicated Term Loan. Bluegreen has a corporate credit facility which includes a $100.0 million term loan (the “Fifth Third Syndicated Loan”) with quarterly amortization requirements and a $200.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Fifth Third Syndicated LOC”). Borrowings generally bear interest at a rate of term SOFR plus 1.75-2.50% and a 0.05%-0.10% credit spread adjustment, depending on Bluegreen’s leverage ratio. The corporate credit facility matures in February 2027. Borrowings are collateralized by certain VOI inventory, sales center buildings, management fees, short-term receivables and cash flows from residual interests relating to certain term securitizations. As of September 30, 2023, outstanding borrowings under the facility totaled $117.5 million, including $92.5 million under the Fifth Third Syndicated Term Loan with an interest rate of 7.13%, and $25.0 million under the Fifth Third Syndicated Line of Credit with an interest rate of 7.13%.
Panama City Beach Acquisition Loan. In October 2022, Bluegreen purchased the property and other assets of a resort located in Panama City Beach, FL for approximately $78.0 million. In connection with this acquisition, Bluegreen entered into a non-revolving acquisition loan (the “Panama City Beach Acquisition Loan”) with NBA for the acquisition and renovation of the resort. In September 2023, the Panama City Beach Acquisition Loan was amended to reduce the maximum advances from $96.6 million to $87.6 million, and reduce the advance rate on future renovation costs from 70% to 55%. Advances may be made during a 36-month advance period. Approximately $54.5 million was advanced at closing for the acquisition of the resort. The remainder of the purchase price was paid in cash. Principal payments will be effected through release payments from sales of the completed VOIs, subject to a minimum amortization schedule, with the remaining balance due at maturity in October 2027. Borrowings under the Panama City Beach Acquisition Loan bear interest at an annual rate equal to one-month term SOFR plus 2.25%, subject to a floor of 2.40%. Recourse is limited to 22.5% of the principal and interest outstanding, with decreases based on achieving certain milestones and subject to certain exceptions. As of September 30, 2023, outstanding borrowings under the facility totaled $53.5 million.
Bluegreen also has outstanding obligations under various securitizations that have no remaining future availability as the advance periods have expired.

(1)Amounts do not include purchase accounting adjustments for junior subordinated debentures of $33.1 million.
(2)Amounts represent the cash payment for leases and include interest of $9.1 million.
(3)Represents the $4.0 million annual cash payment to be made to Bass Pro during 2024 pursuant to the June 2019 settlement agreement and includes imputed interest of $0.1 million.
(4)Assumes that the scheduled minimum principal payments are made in accordance with the table above and the interest rate on variable rate debt remains the same as the rate at September 30, 2023.
The future commitments of BVH relate to Woodbridge’s junior subordinated debentures and BVH’s note payable to BBX Capital, including interest thereon. BVH will rely primarily on cash on hand and cash equivalents, as well as dividends, if any, that may be paid by Bluegreen in the future, in order to satisfy the principal payments required on its contractual obligations. As discussed above, while BVH believes that it will have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund its operations for the foreseeable future, it will be dependent on the payment of dividends by Bluegreen to fund its operations in future periods. There is no assurance that Bluegreen will pay dividends in amounts required to fund BVH’s needs or at all.
In lieu of paying maintenance fees for unsold VOI inventory, Bluegreen may enter into subsidy agreements with certain HOAs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, Bluegreen made payments related to such subsidies of $18.7 million and $10.3 million, respectively, which are included within cost of other fee-based services in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Bluegreen had $7.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, accrued for such subsidies, which is included in accrued liabilities and other in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets as of such dates. Bluegreen’s subsidies have been and may continue to be affected by adverse trends, including rising insurance rates and inflation. The increase in subsidy expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is primarily related to the acquisition of new resorts.
Bluegreen intends to use cash on hand and cash flow from operations, including cash received from the sale or pledge of VOI notes receivable, and cash received from new borrowings under existing or future credit facilities in order to satisfy the principal and interest payments required on contractual obligations.
Bluegreen believes that its existing cash, anticipated cash generated from operations, anticipated future permitted borrowings under existing or future credit facilities, and anticipated future sales of notes receivable under existing, future or replacement purchase facilities will be sufficient to meet its anticipated working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements, including the contractual payment of the Bluegreen obligations set forth above, for the foreseeable future subject to the success of its ongoing business strategies, the ongoing availability of credit and the impact of general economic conditions, including supply chain constraints, labor shortages, inflation, and increasing interest rates. Bluegreen will continue its efforts to renew, extend or replace any credit and receivables purchase
facilities that have expired or that will expire in the near term. Bluegreen may, in the future, also obtain additional credit facilities and may issue corporate debt. Any debt incurred or issued may be secured or unsecured, bear interest at fixed or variable rates and may be subject to such terms as the lender may require and management believes acceptable. There can be no assurance that Bluegreen’s efforts to renew or replace credit facilities or receivables purchase facilities which have expired or which are scheduled to expire in the near term will be successful or that sufficient funds will be available from operations or under existing, proposed or future revolving credit or other borrowing arrangements or receivables purchase facilities to meet Bluegreen’s cash needs, including debt service obligations. To the extent Bluegreen is unable to sell notes receivable or borrow under such facilities, its ability to satisfy its obligations would be materially adversely affected.
Bluegreen’s receivables purchase facilities, credit facilities, indentures and other outstanding debt instruments include what Bluegreen believes to be customary conditions to funding, eligibility requirements for collateral, cross-default and other acceleration provisions and certain financial and other affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, limits on the incurrence of indebtedness, payment of dividends, investments in joint ventures and other restricted payments, the incurrence of liens and transactions with affiliates, as well as covenants concerning net worth, fixed charge coverage requirements, debt-to-equity ratios, portfolio performance requirements and cash balances, and events of default or termination. In the future, Bluegreen may be required to seek waivers of such covenants, but may not be successful in obtaining waivers, and such covenants may limit its ability to raise funds, sell receivables or satisfy or refinance its obligations, or otherwise adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations, as well as its ability to pay distributions. Bluegreen’s future operating performance and ability to meet its financial obligations will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which may be beyond its control.
As previously disclosed, Bluegreen has an exclusive marketing agreement through 2024 with Bass Pro that provides the Company with the right to market and sell vacation packages at kiosks in each of Bass Pro’s retail locations and through other means. During 2019, Bluegreen entered into a settlement agreement and revised marketing arrangement with Bass Pro and its affiliates. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Bluegreen agreed to make five annual payments to Bass Pro of $4.0 million, which commenced in January 2020. Additionally, in lieu of the previous commission arrangement, Bluegreen agreed to pay Bass Pro a fixed annual fee for each Bass Pro and Cabela’s retail store that Bluegreen accessed or was required to access and an amount per net vacation package sold. As of September 30, 2023, Bluegreen had sales and marketing operations at a total of 130 Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Stores. As of January 1, 2023, Bluegreen transitioned its kiosks at certain Cabela’s stores to an unmanned, virtual format. Manned marketing operations at four of those kiosks resumed during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, $3.9 million, was included in accrued liabilities and other in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet for the remaining payments required by the settlement agreement.
Off-balance-sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2023, the Company did not have any “off-balance sheet” arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The primary impact of rising interest rates on the Company is the increased cost of borrowings associated with its variable-rate debt. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $444.8 million of variable-rate debt outstanding and $480.3 million of unused borrowing capacity under its credit facilities, subject to eligible collateral and the terms of the facilities. Based on the balances at September 30, 2023, a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would increase the annual amount of interest payable by approximately $4.4 million and would increase the annual cost of borrowings drawn on available capacity from $0.7 million to $0.8 million for every $10.0 million of incremental borrowings.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2023. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and has been accumulated and communicated to its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
There have been no material changes in the Company’s material legal proceedings from those disclosed in the “Legal Proceedings” section of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, other than as described in Note 9 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated into this Item by reference.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors faced by the Company from those disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
