THIRD QUARTER 2007 OPERATING RESULTS

Revenues for the third quarter of 2007 were $1.2 billion, up 16% over the same period in 2006, reflecting strong organic growth. Net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $117 million or $0.65 diluted earnings per share, compared to $92 million or $0.45 diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2006.
 
Net income for the third quarter of 2007 includes $2 million after-tax of separation and related costs associated with Wyndham Worldwide's spin-off from Cendant Corporation (now Avis Budget Group) and $15 million of an after-tax net charge from the resolution of and adjustments to certain legacy items primarily related to a previously disclosed increase in the legacy litigation reserve. Excluding these items, Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $134 million, or $0.75 diluted earnings per share.

Third quarter 2006 included $43 million after-tax of separation and related costs and a $15 million tax benefit related to refinements of the Company's 2005 state effective tax rates.  Excluding these items and including $5 million after-tax of estimated incremental stand-alone costs (assuming Wyndham Worldwide had been a stand-alone, public company in July 2006), Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2006 was $115 million, or $0.56 diluted earnings per share.

BUSINESS UNIT RESULTS

Lodging (Wyndham Hotel Group)

Revenues increased 12% to $211 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006, reflecting increased property management reimbursable revenues and strong RevPAR gains both domestically and internationally. Comparable RevPAR increased 6.2% in the third quarter of 2007 and system-wide RevPAR increased 5.6% from the prior year period. 

Property management reimbursable revenues were $26 million and marketing/reservation revenues, including TripRewards revenues, were $85 million; these items contribute little, if any, margin. Lodging EBITDA grew to $70 million compared to $67 million in the third quarter of 2006, which included $1 million of separation and related costs. 

As of September 30, 2007, the Company's hotel system consisted of 540,900 rooms and 6,460 properties with a development pipeline of over 104,000 rooms and approximately 940 hotels, of which 45% were new construction and 30% were international. 

Vacation Exchange and Rentals (Group RCI)

Revenues increased to $336 million in the third quarter of 2007, an 8% increase compared with the third quarter of 2006, reflecting growth in both vacation exchange and vacation rentals as well as favorable currency translations. Excluding the favorable effect of currency translations of $14 million, revenues grew 4% compared to the third quarter of 2006. 

Vacation exchange revenues were $116 million, a 4% increase compared to the third quarter of 2006, primarily driven by a 5% increase in the average number of members.

Vacation rentals revenues were $182 million, up 16% compared to the third quarter of 2006, or up 8% excluding the favorable effect of currency translations. These results reflected a 14% increase in the average net price per vacation rental and a 1% increase in rental transactions. 

Other ancillary revenues generated primarily from additional products and services provided to affiliates and members were $38 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared with $40 million in the third quarter of 2006.  

Third quarter 2007 EBITDA was $103 million, compared to third quarter 2006 EBITDA of $97 million, which included $1 million of separation and related costs.  Excluding the favorable effect of currency translations of $7 million during 2007 and the separation and related costs during 2006, Adjusted EBITDA was down $2 million compared to the third quarter of 2006.  Third quarter 2007 EBITDA included marginally higher costs consistent with increased rentals, severance expense, and incremental investment in information technology infrastructure.  

Vacation Ownership (Wyndham Vacation Ownership)

Revenues increased 22% to $671 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006 reflecting continued success in marketing and sales.  

Gross Vacation Ownership Interest sales were $552 million for the third quarter of 2007, up 15% compared to the third quarter of 2006, driven by marketing efforts resulting in 6% growth in tour flow and an 8% increase in volume per guest from strong performance by our sales force and continued strength in transaction pricing.  Results continue to reflect the strength of our marketing, sales and new locations added in the second half of 2006.

Consumer finance revenues increased 21% for the third quarter of 2007 compared to the third quarter of 2006 reflecting continued Vacation Ownership sales growth.

EBITDA for the third quarter of 2007 increased 32% to $116 million, which includes $1 million of separation and related costs, compared to $88 million in the third quarter of 2006, which also included $1 million of separation and related costs.  Third quarter 2007 EBITDA also reflects a $7 million pre-tax gain on the sale of certain vacation ownership properties that were no longer consistent with the Company's development plans.

On October 24, 2007, the Company priced a term securitization transaction involving the issuance of $455 million of insured investment grade asset-backed notes by Sierra Timeshare 2007-2 Receivables Funding, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Wyndham Vacation Ownership.  The notes are backed by vacation ownership receivables originated by subsidiaries of Wyndham Vacation Ownership.  The transaction is expected to close on or about November 1, 2007. 

Other Items

Interest expense for the third quarter of 2007 was $20 million, an increase of $3 million from the third quarter of 2006. This increase is primarily due to higher average borrowings primarily due to differences in the Company's capital structure since the spin-off.  Interest income for the quarter was $4 million, a $1 million decrease from the third quarter of 2006, primarily due to differences in the Company's capital structure since the spin-off.  Depreciation and amortization rose $6 million to $43 million. 

Balance Sheet Information as of September 30, 2007:

� Cash and cash equivalents of approximately $230 million compared to approximately $270 million at December 31, 2006
� Vacation ownership and other inventory of approximately $1.1 billion compared to approximately $955 million at December 31, 2006
� Vacation ownership contract receivables, net, of $2.8 billion compared to $2.4 billion at December 31, 2006  
� Securitized vacation ownership debt of $1.9 billion compared to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2006
� Other debt of $1.5 billion, compared to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2006 

A schedule of debt is included in the financial tables section of this press release.

Share Repurchase

The Company repurchased 560,000 shares of stock during the third quarter of 2007 at an average price of $31.08 and an additional 235,000 shares at an average price of $32.69 through October 30, 2007.   

Outlook and Guidance

"We are confident, based on Wyndham Worldwide's third quarter performance, that 2007 full year results will be within the upper end of our plan of $4,340 � $4,480 million in revenues and full year Adjusted EPS of $2.02 � $2.13," said Mr. Holmes.
  
"We anticipate fourth quarter Adjusted EPS of $0.44 � $0.46, excluding separation and related costs and legacy matters, based on weighted average shares of approximately 180 million." Mr. Holmes noted that the Company's expectations for the fourth quarter assumes approximately $25 million in deferred vacation ownership revenue, or $0.04 per share, that will be recognized in future quarters.
Looking ahead to 2008, management provided preliminary guidance for the full-year 2008:

  • Revenues of approximately $4.8 � $4.9 billion
  • EBITDA, excluding legacy matters, of approximately $920 � $945 million.

    In addition to other measures, management evaluates the operating
    results of each of its reportable segments based upon net revenues and
    "EBITDA," which is defined as net income before depreciation and
    amortization, interest expense (excluding interest on securitized vacation
    ownership debt), interest income, income taxes and cumulative effect of
    accounting change, net of tax, each of which is presented on the Company's
    Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income. The Company's presentation
    of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other
    companies.

                             OPERATING STATISTICS

                              GLOSSARY OF TERMS
    Lodging
    Number of Rooms: Represents the number of rooms at lodging properties
under franchise and/or management agreements at the end of the period.
    Weighted Average Rooms Available: Represents the weighted average
number of hotel rooms available for rental during the period.
    Average Occupancy Rate: Represents the percentage of available rooms
occupied during the period.
    Average Daily Rate (ADR): Represents the average rate charged for
renting a lodging room for one day.
    RevPAR: Represents revenue per available room and is calculated by
multiplying average occupancy rate by ADR.
    Royalty, Marketing and Reservation Revenues: Royalty, marketing and
reservation revenues are typically based on a percentage of the gross room
revenues of each franchised hotel. Royalty revenue is generally a fee
charged to each franchised hotel for the use of one of our trade names,
while marketing and reservation revenues are fees that we collect and are
contractually obligated to spend to support marketing and reservation
activities. Marketing and reservation fees are also included in the above
table within marketing, reservation and TripRewards revenues.
    Vacation Exchange and Rentals
    Average Number of Members: Represents members in our vacation exchange
programs who pay annual membership dues. For additional fees, such
participants are entitled to exchange intervals for intervals at other
properties affiliated with our vacation exchange business. In addition,
certain participants may exchange intervals for other leisure-related
products and services.
    Annual Dues and Exchange Revenue Per Member: Represents total revenues
from annual membership dues and exchange fees generated for the period
divided by the average number of vacation exchange members during the year.
    Vacation Rental Transactions: Represents the gross number of
transactions that are generated in connection with customers booking their
vacation rental stays through us. In our European vacation rentals
businesses, one rental transaction is recorded each time a standard
one-week rental is booked; however, in the United States, one rental
transaction is recorded each time a vacation rental stay is booked,
regardless of whether it is less than or more than one week.
    Average Net Price Per Vacation Rental: Represents the net rental price
generated from renting vacation properties to customers divided by the
number of rental transactions.
    Vacation Ownership
    Gross Vacation Ownership Interest Sales: Represents gross sales of
vacation ownership interests (including tele-sales upgrades, which are a
component of upgrade sales) before deferred sales and loan loss provisions.
    Tours: Represents the number of tours taken by guests in our efforts to
sell vacation ownership interests.
    Volume per Guest (VPG): Represents revenue per guest and is calculated
by dividing the gross vacation ownership interest sales, excluding
tele-sales upgrades, which are a component of upgrade sales, by the number
of tours.
