BFC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Alan B. Levan, commented, BFC’s underlying core business segments, Bluegreen and BBX Capital, have continued to grow and evolve, reflecting our broader goal of transitioning into a business with diverse cash flow streams and long term growth

 

“As previously stated, our goal is to increase value over time as opposed to focusing on quarterly or annual earnings.  Since we expect our investments to be longer term, we anticipate and are willing to accept that our earnings are likely to be uneven.  While capital markets generally encourage short term results, our objective continues to be long term growth as measured by increases in book value per share over time,” Mr. Levan concluded.

 

Net income attributable to BFC is defined as net income after non-controlling interests.  Under generally accepted accounting principles, the financial statements of the companies in which BFC holds a controlling interest, including BBX Capital and Woodbridge and its subsidiary, Bluegreen, are consolidated in BFC’s financial statements.

The following selected information relates to the operating activities of Bluegreen Corporation and BBX Capital Corporation.   See supplemental tables for consolidating income statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

Bluegreen Corporation

 

Bluegreen is a sales, marketing and resort management company, focused on the vacation ownership industry.  Bluegreen is a wholly owned subsidiary of Woodbridge, which is owned 54% by BFC and 46% by BBX Capital.  Woodbridge’s principal asset is its 100% ownership of Bluegreen. 

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, net loss attributable to Woodbridge was $22.1 million, which consisted primarily of net income of $15.0 million related to the operations of Bluegreen, offset by a one-time charge of $36.5 million related to Woodbridge’s liability accrual in connection with the proposed settlement of the Bluegreen shareholder litigation.  For the six month period ended June 30, 2015, net loss attributable to Woodbridge was $9.5 million, which

represents primarily net income of $28.3 million related to the operations of Bluegreen, offset by the $36.5 million litigation charge noted above.

(2)

Bluegreen’s sales of VOIs under its capital-light business strategy include sales of VOIs under fee-based sales and marketing arrangements, just-in-time inventory acquisition arrangements, and secondary market arrangements. Under “just-in-time” arrangements, Bluegreen enters into agreements with third party developers that allow Bluegreen to buy VOI inventory from time to time in close proximity to the timing of when Bluegreen intends to sell such VOIs. Bluegreen also acquires VOI inventory from resorts' property owner associations ("POAs") and other third parties close to the time Bluegreen intends to sell such VOIs. Such VOIs are typically obtained by the POAs through foreclosure in connection with maintenance fee defaults, and are generally acquired by Bluegreen at a significant discount. Bluegreen refers to sales of inventory acquired through these arrangements as "Secondary Market Sales".

Bluegreen Summary for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

 

System-wide sales of VOIs were $139.9 million and $249.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $139.0 million and $248.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.  System-wide sales of VOIs during the second quarter of 2015 benefited by an increase in the number of sales transactions of 2%, while the average sale price per transaction increased by 1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.  Sales to existing owners were 45.2% during the second quarter of 2015 and 48.2% during the first six months of 2015.

 

Selling and marketing expenses, as a percentage of system-wide sales, increased to 50% during the three months ended June 30, 2015 from 47% during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and increased to 51% during the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 47% during the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The increases in the 2015 periods reflect Bluegreen’s decision to increase its marketing efforts to new prospects as opposed to existing owners, which resulted in higher costs per tour from new and expanding marketing channels.  The number of new prospect tours increased 7% during the second quarter of 2015 and 5% during the first six months of 2015 compared to the same periods of 2014.  Sales to existing owners generally involve lower marketing expenses than sales to new prospects.  Bluegreen expects to continue to increase its focus on sales to new prospects and, as a result, sales and marketing expenses generally and as a percentage of sales may increase.

 

Other Fee-Based Services pre-tax profits, which are primarily generated from providing resort and club management services as well as title services totaled $10.7 million and $22.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, which represent increases of 3% and 5%, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2014.  As of both June 30, 2015 and 2014, Bluegreen managed 48 timeshare resort properties and hotels.

 

Net interest spread was $12.6 million and $9.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $22.0 million and $19.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The increase in net interest spread during the 2015 periods primarily reflect lower costs of borrowings, lower average outstanding debt balances,

4

 


 

 

and interest income of $1.6 million from BFC related to an $80.0 million loan made to BFC by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bluegreen. These increases were partially offset by increased interest expense related to Bluegreen’s issuance of notes in a securitization transaction during 2015 and a new line of credit, and a decrease in the size of Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable portfolio as Bluegreen continues to seek higher cash sales and larger customer down payments on financed sales as well as increased Fee-Based Sales.

 

Bluegreen’s free cash flow decreased to $30.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $50.0 million in the prior year period.  This decrease is primarily due to $19.7 million of development expenditures during the 2015 period compared to $1.2 million in the 2014 period. Bluegreen’s development expenditures primarily related to Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, LLC, Bluegreen’s 51%-owned resort development joint venture with affiliates of Bass Pro Shops.

Legacy VOI sales represent sales of Bluegreen-owned VOIs acquired or developed under Bluegreen’s traditional VOI business. Legacy VOI sales do not include Secondary Market, Fee-Based Sales, or Just-In-Time basis VOI sales under Bluegreen’s capital-light business strategy. 

(2)

Percentages for estimated uncollectible VOI notes receivable are calculated as a percentage of gross sales of VOIs which excludes sales of third-party VOIs – commission basis (and not 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 of system-wide sales of VOIs).

(4)

Percentages for Fee-based sales commission revenue are calculated based on sales of third-party VOIs-commission basis (and not of system-wide sales of VOIs).

(5)

Unless otherwise indicated.

(6)

Equity trade allowances are amounts granted to customers upon trading in their existing VOI towards the purchase of a larger VOI.

EBITDA is defined as earnings, or income, before taking into account interest income (excluding interest earned on VOI notes receivable), interest expense (excluding interest expense incurred on financings related to Bluegreen’s receivable-backed notes payable), provision for income taxes and franchise taxes, depreciation and amortization. For purposes of the EBITDA calculation, no adjustments were made for interest income earned on Bluegreen’s 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 operations of Bluegreen’s business. We consider Bluegreen’s EBITDA to be an indicator of its operating performance, and it is used to measure Bluegreen’s ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand its business. EBITDA is also used by companies, lenders, investors and others because it excludes 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 also excludes 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.
