In the third quarter of 2025, the company repurchased 1.2 million shares of its common stock for $70 million, at a weighted average price of $59.90 per share.

Segment Performance
Vacation Ownership revenue rose 6% year over year to $876 million in the third quarter of 2025. Net vacation ownership interest (VOI) sales climbed 9% from the prior year, despite a higher provision rate.
Travel and Membership revenue edged up 1% to $169 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared with a year earlier. The modest growth came as transaction revenue rose by $3 million, fueled by a 12% increase in transaction volumes, though this was partly offset by an 8% drop in revenue per transaction.

Travel + Leisure expects adjusted EBITDA for 2025 between $965 million and $985 million, up from its prior outlook of $955 million to $985 million.
The company also expects gross vacation ownership interest (VOI) sales in the range of $2.45 billion to $2.50 billion, compared with its previous outlook of $2.4 billion to $2.5 billion.
The Volume Per Guest (VPG) is projected at $3,250 to $3,275, up from the prior outlook of $3,200 to $3,250.
