into a VOI sale, and the amounts recorded as of and for the fiscal years presented. In your
response, cite the specific accounting literature relied upon.

3.We note you disclose elsewhere that for developer-financed sales, the VOI sales
transaction price is reduced by an estimate of uncollectible consideration at the time of the
sale, while noting your characterization of uncollectible consideration as loan loss
provision. Further, we note that as a result of improvements in net new defaults and lower
than expected unemployment rates, in fiscal year 2021 you "released a portion of your
COVID-19 related allowance." Please confirm whether you consider loan loss provisions
to be variable consideration considered constrained and excluded from revenue, and
clarify and enhance your disclosure to address how you characterize the impact of your
loan loss provision.

was appropriate to present more than one measure of segment of profit or loss; refer to
ASC 280-10-50-28 and ASC 280-10-55-9.
