Ÿ | Income from continuing operations attributable to Bluegreen shareholders rose to $9.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, from a loss of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in Q3 2010. |
ᴑ | Q3 2010 included a significant non-cash charge associated with increased reserve for loan losses on VOI notes receivable generated prior to December 15, 2008. |
Ÿ | Net income in Q3 2011 was $7.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, which included a loss from discontinued operations of $2.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to a net loss in Q3 2010 of $16.7 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, which included a loss from discontinued operations of $16.1 million, or $0.52 per diluted share. |
Ÿ | Cash flow from operating and investing activities (“Free Cash Flow”) of $116.7 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2011. |

Boca Raton, Fla. – November 14, 2011 – Bluegreen Corporation (NYSE: BXG), a leading timeshare sales, marketing and resort management company, today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
John M. Maloney Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Bluegreen, commented, “We believe that our results from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2011 validate our strategy of utilizing our core product, the points-based Bluegreen Vacation Club, as a platform to support three potential sources of revenue: our traditional timeshare (VOI) business; a growing fee-based services business; and a finance business. During the third quarter, we increased system-wide sales, generated higher income from continuing operations than in the comparable 2010 period, and produced Free Cash Flow of $41.1 million. During Q3 2011, fee-based services contributed 81% of total Resorts operating profit. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we reduced our debt by more $100 million from December 31, 2010. We believe that our business model continues to move toward our goal of growing our fee-based services business, which has low capital requirements and which generates significant Free Cash Flow.”
Additional operating highlights included:
Ÿ | In connection with its fee-based services business, Resorts sold $34.0 million of third-party VOI inventory in Q3 2011, generating sales and marketing commissions of approximately $23.5 million and contributing an estimated $6.2 million to Resorts operating profit. This compares to sales of $22.1 million of third-party VOI inventory, which generated sales and marketing commissions of $15.1 million and contributed an estimated $4.7 million to Resorts operating profit in Q3 2010. In Q3 2011, Bluegreen provided sales and marketing services to 7 resorts under fee-based service arrangements, as compared to 5 such arrangements during Q3 2010; |
Ÿ | Total revenues from fee-based services rose 30% to $42.3 million in Q3 2011. As of September 30, 2011, Bluegreen managed 45 timeshare resort properties and hotels compared to 43 as of September 30, 2010; |
Ÿ | Cash received from Resorts sales - either at closing or within 30 days of closing and including down payments received on financed sales - represented 55% of Resorts sales for the first nine months of 2011; |
Ÿ | Debt-to-equity (recourse and non-recourse) declined to 2.32:1 at September 30, 2011 from 2.58:1 at December 31, 2010. Debt-to-equity (recourse only) declined to 1.08:1 at September 30, 2011 from 1.22:1 at December 31, 2010; |
Ÿ | In September 2011, Bluegreen entered into a $30.0 million revolving timeshare receivables hypothecation facility with CapitalSource Bank; and |
Ÿ | In October 2011, Bluegreen amended, restated, and extended by one year its existing timeshare receivables purchase facility with BB&T. The amended revolving facility allows for maximum outstanding borrowings of $50.0 million. As of September 30, 2011, $20.6 million was outstanding under this facilty. |
Income from continuing operations attributable to Bluegreen shareholders (defined as income from continuing operations less net income attributable to non-controlling interest) rose to $9.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share in Q3 2010. Income from continuing operations for Q3 2010 included a non-cash charge of $24.5 million to increase the reserve for loan losses on VOI notes receivable generated prior to December 15, 2008 (the date Bluegreen implemented credit underwriting standards), partially offset by a related $8.7 million non-cash reduction of cost of sales.
As previously disclosed, Bluegreen’s Board of Directors made a determination during June 2011 to seek to sell Bluegreen Communities or all or substantially all of its assets. As a consequence, Bluegreen Communities is accounted for as a discontinued operation for all periods in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. On October 12, 2011, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a third-party (the “Buyer”), providing for the sale of substantially all of the assets that comprise Bluegreen Communities for a purchase price of i) $31.5 million in cash, and ii) a cash amount equal to 20% of the net proceeds (as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement) the Buyer receives upon its sale, if any, of two specified parcels of real estate to be purchased by the Buyer under the Agreement. The Buyer has advised Bluegreen that they need to obtain debt and/or equity financing in order to close the transaction, but obtaining such financing is not a Buyer condition of closing. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated on the contemplated terms, including the contemplated time frame, or at all. Additional information regarding this proposed transaction is available in Bluegreen’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, for Q3 2011 was $2.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $16.1 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in Q3 2010. The loss from discontinued operations for Q3 2010 included non-cash pre-tax inventory impairment charges of $20.8 million.
As a result of the above-referenced items, net income for Q3 2011 was $7.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $16.7 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, in Q3 2010.

(1) Amount for “fee-based services business” represents sales of VOIs made on behalf of third parties, which are transacted as sales of timeshare interests in the Bluegreen Vacation Club and through the same sales and marketing process as the sale of the Company’s VOI inventory as represented under “traditional timeshare business.”
(2) Percentages for estimated uncollectible VOI notes receivable are calculated as a percentage of gross sales of VOIs.
(3) Percentages for cost of VOIs sold and the associated gross profit are calculated as a percentage of sales of VOIs.
(4) Selling and marketing expenses and Resorts G&A expenses are allocated pro rata based on system-wide sales of VOIs, net.
(5) General and administrative expenses attributable to corporate overhead have been excluded from the table. Corporate general and administrative expenses totaled $9.3 million and $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $28.5 million and $30.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
(6) Unless otherwise indicated.
System-wide sales of VOIs rose to $91.0 million in Q3 2011 from $89.5 million in Q3 2010, the result of a higher number of sales transactions, partially offset by a decline in average sales price per transaction. Total VOI sales transactions rose to 7,662 in Q3 2011 from 7,361 in Q3 2010, with a deliberate decrease in Bluegreen VOIs sales transactions (traditional timeshare business) offset by an increase in the number of sales made on behalf of third parties (fee-based services business). Total prospect tours in Q3 2011 rose to 48,773 from 47,750 in Q3 2010, with new prospect tours increasing to 29,125 in Q3 2011 from 28,463 in Q3 2010. Total sale-to-tour conversion ratio in Q3 2011 rose to 15.7% from 15.4% in Q3 2010, and the new prospect sale-to-tour conversion ratio was 11.1% in Q3 2011 compared to 10.1% in Q3 2010. Average sales price per transaction declined to $11,851 for Q3 2011 from $12,240 for Q3 2010.
Charges for estimated uncollectible VOI notes receivable decreased by 68% in Q3 2011 from Q3 2010. The Company updates its estimates of uncollectible VOI notes receivable each quarter, and consequently, the charge against sales in a particular quarter for such uncollectibles may be impacted, favorably or unfavorably, by a change in expected losses on prior periods’ financed sales. In Q3 2010 and, to a lesser extent, in Q3 2011, we increased our allowance for loan losses for loans generated prior to December 15, 2008, the date on which we implemented our FICO score-based credit standards.
As a percentage of system-wide sales of VOIs, net, selling and marketing expenses rose to 45% in Q3 2011 from 42% in Q3 2010, due to the fluctuations in the mix of marketing programs, including a reduced proportion of sales to existing owners, which carry a relatively lower marketing cost, and changes in sales deferred under timeshare accounting rules. Selling and marketing expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were consistent with such expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, at 46% of system-wide sales in both periods.
Operating profit from the fee-based services business rose to $14.5 million in Q3 2011 from $12.9 million in Q3 2010, reflecting an increase in sales of third-party inventory.
Operating profit at Resorts rose to $17.9 million, or 20% of system-wide sales of VOI’s, net, for Q3 2011 from $1.6 million, or 2% of system-wide sales of VOI’s, net, for Q3 2010. Resorts operating profit for Q3 2010 included the previously discussed non-cash charge to increase the reserve for loan losses on VOI notes receivable generated prior to December 15, 2008, partially offset by the related non-cash reduction of cost of sales.
INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST EXPENSE
Net interest spread is the excess of interest income primarily earned on $635.9 million of VOI notes receivable held as of September 30, 2011, net of interest expense incurred on $497.0 million of receivable-backed debt and $214.8 million of other debt as of September 30, 2011. Pre-tax income from net interest spread in Q3 2011 was $10.3 million as compared to $11.3 million in Q3 2010, due to the continued decrease in Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable portfolio, reflecting continuing efforts to increase the amount of sales that are realized in cash, and growth in sales on behalf of fee-based services clients, as such sales typically do not result in a Bluegreen note receivable.
DEFINITIVE MERGER AGREEMENT WITH BFC FINANCIAL CORPORATION
As Bluegreen announced today, it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with BFC Financial Corporation (“BFC”) (Pink Sheets: BFCF.PK) which provides for a merger that will, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, result in Bluegreen becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC.
