Overview
Q3 2010 Resorts system-wide sales rose 11% to $90.0 million from $81.1 million in Q3 2009.
Fee-based services sales and marketing programs sold $22.1 million of third-party developer inventory in Q3 2010, generating sales and marketing commission revenue of $15.1 million compared to $7.0 million in Q3 2009, the quarter in which we commenced such activity.
Q3 2010 net loss of $16.7 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in Q3 2009.
Q3 2010 net loss included the impact of a:
$20.8 million non-cash charge at Bluegreen Communities to write-down the inventory balance of certain properties.
$24.5 million non-cash charge to increase the allowance for loan losses on VOI notes receivable generated prior to December 15, 2008.
Excluding the above $45.3 million in non-cash charges, non-GAAP net income for Q3 2010 would have been $11.4 million, or $0.36 per diluted share.
Free cash flow of $123.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Unrestricted cash of $85.9 million at September 30, 2010.
During October 2010, Bluegreen extended its exclusive marketing partnership with Bass Pro Shops(R) through 2025.
BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov 09, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Bluegreen Corporation (NYSE: BXG), a leading provider of Colorful Places to Live and Play(R), today announced financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010.
John M. Maloney Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Bluegreen, commented, "We are very pleased to report continued progress on a number of fronts. Resorts system-wide sales increased 11% during Q3 2010 compared to Q3 2009, driven by higher sales made on behalf of third party developers. Sales and marketing commission revenues from our fee-based services business increased, as did our other resort fee-based services revenues, which rose 15% in Q3 2010 compared to Q3 2009. We increased free cash flow, improved our unrestricted cash position by nearly 22% from January 1, 2010, and completed credit transactions that provided us with additional liquidity for our receivables financing activities. We also recently extended our exclusive marketing partnership with Bass Pro Shops(R) through 2025 and expanded our joint venture relationship to include additional resorts. While we recognized a net loss of $16.7 million for Q3 2010, this net loss included $45.3 million of non-cash charges. Excluding the impact of those non-cash charges, we would have generated net income of $11.4 million.
"With respect to the $45.3 million in non-cash charges we incurred in Q3 2010, it is important to note the following:
These charges did not impact our cash position or operating cash flows.
We evaluate our estimates regarding sales pace and homesite pricing at our communities in light of demand, local competition and other factors quarterly based on our current strategy of continuing to pursue our retail sales business model and ultimately developing our existing land holdings. As of September 30, 2010, the carrying value of our Bluegreen Communities inventory was $112.0 million, which reflects the $20.8 million impairment charge; however should our estimates change in the future, additional charges may be required. Further, as we have from time to time, we currently are undertaking a comprehensive evaluation of our overall Communities strategy. In the event we decide to materially change our strategy, the carrying value of our Communities inventory would be reevaluated and could result in additional material impairment charges.
The $24.5 million increase for loan loss reserves at Resorts relates to VOI notes receivable generated prior to December 15, 2008 (the date that we implemented our FICO(R) score-based credit underwriting program), as we have increased our estimates of future defaults on certain of those receivables. We believe that we have adequately reserved for future losses on our portfolio; however there can be no assurances that our estimates will be accurate or that we will not be required to record additional charges in the future. We are pleased that defaults and delinquency rates to date related to the loans originated on and after December 15, 2008 have been significantly lower than those originated prior to that date (see table below)."
Excluding the $45.3 million in non-cash charges described above, net income for Q3 2010 was $11.4 million, or $0.36 per share. On a comparative basis, excluding non-cash charges, net income for Q3 2009 was $4.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share.
Mr. Maloney noted additional operating highlights for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010:
Sales to existing Bluegreen Vacation Club owners represented 58% of total Resorts sales in Q3 2010 as compared to 57% in the same period last year;
Relative to its fee-based services business during Q3 2010, Bluegreen sold $22.1 million of third-party inventory, generating sales and marketing commissions of approximately $15.1 million. This compares to the sale of $11.3 million of third-party inventory and sales and marketing commissions of $7.0 million in Q3 2009. Fee-based sales and marketing commission revenue of $15.1 million in Q3 2010 contributed an estimated $4.3 million to Resorts segment operating profit;
Total revenues from fee-based services (including sales and marketing, management services, title and other services) were $32.6 million in Q3 2010 compared to $22.2 million in Q3 2009, an increase of 47%;
As of September 30, 2010, Bluegreen managed 40 timeshare resorts and hotels, up from 37 as of September 30, 2009;
Free cash flow (defined as cash flow from operating activities and investing activities) was $123.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $26.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009; and
Cash received from Resorts sales - either at closing or within 30 days of closing - equaled 49% of Bluegreen Resorts sales during Q3 2010, up from 42% in Q3 2009.
As previously reported, effective January 1, 2010, Bluegreen adopted accounting guidance that resulted in the consolidation into its financial statements of seven special-purpose finance entities that were previously classified off-balance sheet. These entities issued Bluegreen's securitization bonds and hold the receivables that collateralized the bonds. The consolidation of these entities resulted in increased interest expense (by the amount of interest expense incurred on the securitization bonds) and interest income (by the amount of income generated from the related receivables, partially offset by the absence of accretion income on residual interests that were eliminated).

The increase in total system-wide VOI sales reflected increased marketing efforts related to sales of VOIs on behalf of fee-based clients. Total marketing tours and the average sales price per transaction increased, although the sale- to-tour conversion ratios decreased slightly.
Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of system-wide sales, net, in Q3 2010 was 47% as compared to 43% in Q3 2009, reflecting expanded marketing activity related to an increase in sales tours, partially offset by an increase in sales to existing owners, which carry relatively lower marketing cost than sales to non-owners.
Pretax profits from other resort fee-based services increased to $5.9 million during Q3 2010 from $4.3 million in Q3 2009, primarily the result of managing a higher number of timeshare resorts on behalf of property owners' associations as well as earning higher profits in our title services business.
Resorts operating profit was $2.4 million, or 3% of system-wide sales, net, compared to $18.0 million, or 24% of system-wide sales, net, in Q3 2009. Resorts operating profit 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. Excluding this charge, Resorts operating profit for Q3 2010 would have been $26.9 million, or 31% of system-wide sales, net.
As described above, on December 15, 2008 ("12/15/08") Bluegreen implemented a FICO(R) score-based credit underwriting program. Delinquencies over 30 days past due on the total originated and serviced timeshare receivables portfolio at September 30, 2010 for loans originated prior to December 15, 2008 and loans originated under Bluegreen's FICO(R) score-based credit underwriting program are reflected in the table below.

Total

Defaults on the pre-12/15/08 originated portfolio decreased to a 13.5% average annual default rate for the twelve months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 14.3% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2009. These loans were not subject to credit underwriting at the time of sale, and in connection with the adoption of new accounting standards on January 1, 2010, we include an additional $350.5 million of such loans on our balance sheet.
The average annual default rate on loans originated on and after December 15, 2008 was 4.0% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2010. However, a comparison through September 30, 2010 of loans originated after 12/15/08 compared to similarly seasoned loans originated in the pre-12/15/08 portfolio indicates that cumulative defaults on the FICO(R) underwritten portfolio to date have been less than 50% of those experienced in the pre-12/15/08 portfolio at a similar point in their seasoning.
BASS PRO SHOPS AND PARADISE POINT ACQUISITION
In October 2010, Bluegreen and Bass Pro Shops agreed to extend their successful, decade-long, exclusive marketing relationship through 2025.
Also during October 2010, Bluegreen's 51%-owned joint venture Bluegreen / Big Cedar Vacations, LLC ("Bluegreen / Big Cedar"), acquired Paradise Point Resort located on Table Rock Lake in Ridgedale, MO, from a third party (the "Paradise Point Seller"), as well as an additional 109 acres of land for future resort development from an affiliate of Bass Pro Shops. Total consideration paid by Bluegreen / Big Cedar for Paradise Point and the adjacent land was $17.7 million, of which $13.2 million was financed through an affiliate of the Paradise Point Seller. Both transactions closed in October 2010.
Paradise Point sits on 24 acres of land, approximately two miles from the Big Cedar Resort. Paradise Point offers 103 residential units, six building pads, a reception house, recreation area, outdoor pool, boat docks and dry boat storage. Of the 103 residential units, 52 are sold condominium units, 30 are unsold condominium units, and 21 units are devoted to timeshare. Bluegreen has assumed the role of property manager for Paradise Point, and projects that sales of the Paradise Point vacation ownership inventory will commence in 2011. Bluegreen / Big Cedar has also commenced master planning related to future timeshare development on the additional acreage acquired in the transaction.
Mr. Maloney commented, "Although we intend to continue to focus on our fee-based service business model, we believe that using a portion of our consolidated free cash flow for strategic alliances, such as the Bass Pro / Big Cedar relationship, is consistent with our goals of maintaining efficient and effective marketing programs to support both our fee-based and traditional vacation ownership businesses."

Operations at Bluegreen Communities continue to reflect adverse conditions in the economy generally and the real estate markets, in particular, as evidenced by material declines in demand and sales volume. In Q3 2010, Bluegreen Communities significantly reduced prices on certain homesites in an effort to stimulate demand and stay competitive in markets where competing communities' pricing has decreased. As a result of the reduced pricing, and the impact of reduced sales on the forecasted sell-out period of certain Communities projects, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $20.8 million. We evaluate the carrying value of our Bluegreen Communities inventory ($112.0 million at September 30, 2010) based upon our current intention to develop and sell such inventory as retail homesites.
Future changes in our intentions, expectations, or pricing may result in future material charges or adjustments to the carrying amount of our Communities' inventory or otherwise adversely impact our results and financial condition in the future.

Book value per share decreased and the Company's debt-to-equity ratios increased at September 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009, primarily as a result of the adoption of new accounting guidance on January 1, 2010, which resulted in a significant amount of securitization debt that was previously accounted for off-balance sheet being consolidated on the Company's balance sheet, as well as a related, previously announced $61.3 million non-cash charge to retained earnings taken in Q1 2010 representing the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
At September 30, 2010, Bluegreen had receivable-backed credit facilities with revolving capacity of up to $200.0 million with availability of $35.0 million. Under the terms of these facilities, additional availability is generated as principal payments are made, subject to eligible collateral and other customary terms and conditions.
On September 2, 2010, Bluegreen successfully completed the securitization (the "Legacy Securitization") of $36.1 million of primarily the lowest FICO(R)-score loans previously financed in the BB&T purchase facility for cash proceeds of $24.3 million. The proceeds were used to pay-down a portion of the BB&T purchase facility. In connection with this transaction, BB&T extended by one year, through August 31, 2011, the revolving advance period under its existing timeshare receivables purchase facility. This revolving facility allows for the transfer of notes receivable for a cumulative purchase price of up to $125 million on a non-recourse basis.
After the consummation of the Legacy Securitization, $111.6 million of loans continued to be held in the BB&T purchase facility. Bluegreen intends to pursue a securitization of the eligible remaining BB&T loans, and believes that the credit profile of these loans and Bluegreen's performance history for loans within the applicable FICO(R) score stratification are consistent with other timeshare securitization transactions which have recently been consummated. However, there is no assurance that a future securitization will be completed on favorable terms or at all.

Q3 2010 Resorts system-wide sales rose 11% to $90.0 million from $81.1 million in Q3 2009.
Fee-based services sales and marketing programs sold $22.1 million of third-party developer inventory in Q3 2010, generating sales and marketing commission revenue of $15.1 million compared to $7.0 million in Q3 2009, the quarter in which we commenced such activity.
Q3 2010 net loss of $16.7 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in Q3 2009.
Q3 2010 net loss included the impact of a:
$20.8 million non-cash charge at Bluegreen Communities to write-down the inventory balance of certain properties.
$24.5 million non-cash charge to increase the allowance for loan losses on VOI notes receivable generated prior to December 15, 2008.
Excluding the above $45.3 million in non-cash charges, non-GAAP net income for Q3 2010 would have been $11.4 million, or $0.36 per diluted share.
Free cash flow of $123.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Unrestricted cash of $85.9 million at September 30, 2010.
During October 2010, Bluegreen extended its exclusive marketing partnership with Bass Pro Shops(R) through 2025.
BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov 09, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Bluegreen Corporation (NYSE: BXG), a leading provider of Colorful Places to Live and Play(R), today announced financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010.
John M. Maloney Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Bluegreen, commented, "We are very pleased to report continued progress on a number of fronts. Resorts system-wide sales increased 11% during Q3 2010 compared to Q3 2009, driven by higher sales made on behalf of third party developers. Sales and marketing commission revenues from our fee-based services business increased, as did our other resort fee-based services revenues, which rose 15% in Q3 2010 compared to Q3 2009. We increased free cash flow, improved our unrestricted cash position by nearly 22% from January 1, 2010, and completed credit transactions that provided us with additional liquidity for our receivables financing activities. We also recently extended our exclusive marketing partnership with Bass Pro Shops(R) through 2025 and expanded our joint venture relationship to include additional resorts. While we recognized a net loss of $16.7 million for Q3 2010, this net loss included $45.3 million of non-cash charges. Excluding the impact of those non-cash charges, we would have generated net income of $11.4 million.
"With respect to the $45.3 million in non-cash charges we incurred in Q3 2010, it is important to note the following:
These charges did not impact our cash position or operating cash flows.
We evaluate our estimates regarding sales pace and homesite pricing at our communities in light of demand, local competition and other factors quarterly based on our current strategy of continuing to pursue our retail sales business model and ultimately developing our existing land holdings. As of September 30, 2010, the carrying value of our Bluegreen Communities inventory was $112.0 million, which reflects the $20.8 million impairment charge; however should our estimates change in the future, additional charges may be required. Further, as we have from time to time, we currently are undertaking a comprehensive evaluation of our overall Communities strategy. In the event we decide to materially change our strategy, the carrying value of our Communities inventory would be reevaluated and could result in additional material impairment charges.
The $24.5 million increase for loan loss reserves at Resorts relates to VOI notes receivable generated prior to December 15, 2008 (the date that we implemented our FICO(R) score-based credit underwriting program), as we have increased our estimates of future defaults on certain of those receivables. We believe that we have adequately reserved for future losses on our portfolio; however there can be no assurances that our estimates will be accurate or that we will not be required to record additional charges in the future. We are pleased that defaults and delinquency rates to date related to the loans originated on and after December 15, 2008 have been significantly lower than those originated prior to that date (see table below)."
Excluding the $45.3 million in non-cash charges described above, net income for Q3 2010 was $11.4 million, or $0.36 per share. On a comparative basis, excluding non-cash charges, net income for Q3 2009 was $4.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share.
Mr. Maloney noted additional operating highlights for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010:
Sales to existing Bluegreen Vacation Club owners represented 58% of total Resorts sales in Q3 2010 as compared to 57% in the same period last year;
Relative to its fee-based services business during Q3 2010, Bluegreen sold $22.1 million of third-party inventory, generating sales and marketing commissions of approximately $15.1 million. This compares to the sale of $11.3 million of third-party inventory and sales and marketing commissions of $7.0 million in Q3 2009. Fee-based sales and marketing commission revenue of $15.1 million in Q3 2010 contributed an estimated $4.3 million to Resorts segment operating profit;
Total revenues from fee-based services (including sales and marketing, management services, title and other services) were $32.6 million in Q3 2010 compared to $22.2 million in Q3 2009, an increase of 47%;
As of September 30, 2010, Bluegreen managed 40 timeshare resorts and hotels, up from 37 as of September 30, 2009;
Free cash flow (defined as cash flow from operating activities and investing activities) was $123.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $26.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009; and
Cash received from Resorts sales - either at closing or within 30 days of closing - equaled 49% of Bluegreen Resorts sales during Q3 2010, up from 42% in Q3 2009.
As previously reported, effective January 1, 2010, Bluegreen adopted accounting guidance that resulted in the consolidation into its financial statements of seven special-purpose finance entities that were previously classified off-balance sheet. These entities issued Bluegreen's securitization bonds and hold the receivables that collateralized the bonds. The consolidation of these entities resulted in increased interest expense (by the amount of interest expense incurred on the securitization bonds) and interest income (by the amount of income generated from the related receivables, partially offset by the absence of accretion income on residual interests that were eliminated).

The increase in total system-wide VOI sales reflected increased marketing efforts related to sales of VOIs on behalf of fee-based clients. Total marketing tours and the average sales price per transaction increased, although the sale- to-tour conversion ratios decreased slightly.
Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of system-wide sales, net, in Q3 2010 was 47% as compared to 43% in Q3 2009, reflecting expanded marketing activity related to an increase in sales tours, partially offset by an increase in sales to existing owners, which carry relatively lower marketing cost than sales to non-owners.
Pretax profits from other resort fee-based services increased to $5.9 million during Q3 2010 from $4.3 million in Q3 2009, primarily the result of managing a higher number of timeshare resorts on behalf of property owners' associations as well as earning higher profits in our title services business.
Resorts operating profit was $2.4 million, or 3% of system-wide sales, net, compared to $18.0 million, or 24% of system-wide sales, net, in Q3 2009. Resorts operating profit 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. Excluding this charge, Resorts operating profit for Q3 2010 would have been $26.9 million, or 31% of system-wide sales, net.
As described above, on December 15, 2008 ("12/15/08") Bluegreen implemented a FICO(R) score-based credit underwriting program. Delinquencies over 30 days past due on the total originated and serviced timeshare receivables portfolio at September 30, 2010 for loans originated prior to December 15, 2008 and loans originated under Bluegreen's FICO(R) score-based credit underwriting program are reflected in the table below.

Total

Defaults on the pre-12/15/08 originated portfolio decreased to a 13.5% average annual default rate for the twelve months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 14.3% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2009. These loans were not subject to credit underwriting at the time of sale, and in connection with the adoption of new accounting standards on January 1, 2010, we include an additional $350.5 million of such loans on our balance sheet.
The average annual default rate on loans originated on and after December 15, 2008 was 4.0% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2010. However, a comparison through September 30, 2010 of loans originated after 12/15/08 compared to similarly seasoned loans originated in the pre-12/15/08 portfolio indicates that cumulative defaults on the FICO(R) underwritten portfolio to date have been less than 50% of those experienced in the pre-12/15/08 portfolio at a similar point in their seasoning.
BASS PRO SHOPS AND PARADISE POINT ACQUISITION
In October 2010, Bluegreen and Bass Pro Shops agreed to extend their successful, decade-long, exclusive marketing relationship through 2025.
Also during October 2010, Bluegreen's 51%-owned joint venture Bluegreen / Big Cedar Vacations, LLC ("Bluegreen / Big Cedar"), acquired Paradise Point Resort located on Table Rock Lake in Ridgedale, MO, from a third party (the "Paradise Point Seller"), as well as an additional 109 acres of land for future resort development from an affiliate of Bass Pro Shops. Total consideration paid by Bluegreen / Big Cedar for Paradise Point and the adjacent land was $17.7 million, of which $13.2 million was financed through an affiliate of the Paradise Point Seller. Both transactions closed in October 2010.
Paradise Point sits on 24 acres of land, approximately two miles from the Big Cedar Resort. Paradise Point offers 103 residential units, six building pads, a reception house, recreation area, outdoor pool, boat docks and dry boat storage. Of the 103 residential units, 52 are sold condominium units, 30 are unsold condominium units, and 21 units are devoted to timeshare. Bluegreen has assumed the role of property manager for Paradise Point, and projects that sales of the Paradise Point vacation ownership inventory will commence in 2011. Bluegreen / Big Cedar has also commenced master planning related to future timeshare development on the additional acreage acquired in the transaction.
Mr. Maloney commented, "Although we intend to continue to focus on our fee-based service business model, we believe that using a portion of our consolidated free cash flow for strategic alliances, such as the Bass Pro / Big Cedar relationship, is consistent with our goals of maintaining efficient and effective marketing programs to support both our fee-based and traditional vacation ownership businesses."

Operations at Bluegreen Communities continue to reflect adverse conditions in the economy generally and the real estate markets, in particular, as evidenced by material declines in demand and sales volume. In Q3 2010, Bluegreen Communities significantly reduced prices on certain homesites in an effort to stimulate demand and stay competitive in markets where competing communities' pricing has decreased. As a result of the reduced pricing, and the impact of reduced sales on the forecasted sell-out period of certain Communities projects, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $20.8 million. We evaluate the carrying value of our Bluegreen Communities inventory ($112.0 million at September 30, 2010) based upon our current intention to develop and sell such inventory as retail homesites.
Future changes in our intentions, expectations, or pricing may result in future material charges or adjustments to the carrying amount of our Communities' inventory or otherwise adversely impact our results and financial condition in the future.

Book value per share decreased and the Company's debt-to-equity ratios increased at September 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009, primarily as a result of the adoption of new accounting guidance on January 1, 2010, which resulted in a significant amount of securitization debt that was previously accounted for off-balance sheet being consolidated on the Company's balance sheet, as well as a related, previously announced $61.3 million non-cash charge to retained earnings taken in Q1 2010 representing the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
At September 30, 2010, Bluegreen had receivable-backed credit facilities with revolving capacity of up to $200.0 million with availability of $35.0 million. Under the terms of these facilities, additional availability is generated as principal payments are made, subject to eligible collateral and other customary terms and conditions.
On September 2, 2010, Bluegreen successfully completed the securitization (the "Legacy Securitization") of $36.1 million of primarily the lowest FICO(R)-score loans previously financed in the BB&T purchase facility for cash proceeds of $24.3 million. The proceeds were used to pay-down a portion of the BB&T purchase facility. In connection with this transaction, BB&T extended by one year, through August 31, 2011, the revolving advance period under its existing timeshare receivables purchase facility. This revolving facility allows for the transfer of notes receivable for a cumulative purchase price of up to $125 million on a non-recourse basis.
After the consummation of the Legacy Securitization, $111.6 million of loans continued to be held in the BB&T purchase facility. Bluegreen intends to pursue a securitization of the eligible remaining BB&T loans, and believes that the credit profile of these loans and Bluegreen's performance history for loans within the applicable FICO(R) score stratification are consistent with other timeshare securitization transactions which have recently been consummated. However, there is no assurance that a future securitization will be completed on favorable terms or at all.
