BFC Financial Corporation Reports Financial Results
For the Third Quarter, 2016
FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida November 9, 2016 BFC Financial Corporation (BFC or the Company) (OTCQB: BFCF; BFCFB) reported financial results for the three month period ended September 30, 2016.
BFC Selected Financial Data (Consolidated)
Third Quarter 2016 Compared to Third Quarter 2015:
| Total consolidated revenues of $208.2 million vs. $199.3 million |
| Net income attributable to BFC of $17.8 million vs. $16.4 million |
| Diluted earnings per share of $0.21 vs. $0.19 |
| Free cash flow (cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures) was $13.7 million compared to a negative $21.6 million outflow |
As of September 30, 2016, BFC had total consolidated assets of $1.4 billion, shareholders equity attributable to BFC of $400.6 million, and total consolidated equity of $508.7 million. At September 30, 2016, BFCs book value per share was $4.70 compared to $4.18 at September 30, 2015.
Jarett S. Levan, Acting Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BFC Financial, commented, This release discusses our overall results, corporate structure, operating platforms and strategy. However, we believe it is important to also highlight our culture and philosophy:
First, our culture is entrepreneurial. Our objective is to make portfolio investments based on the fundamentals: quality real estate, the right operating companies and partnering with good people.
Second, 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, BFCs objective continues to be long term growth as measured by increases in book value per share over time.
In all, we believe this reflects the overall philosophy at BFC Financial, BBX Capital and Bluegreen, and how we are approaching our business.
As previously announced in July 2016, BFC and BBX Capital Corporation (BBX Capital or BBX) (NYSE: BBX) entered into a definitive merger agreement between the companies. As discussed in more detail below, BFC has held a meaningful stake in BBX since 1987, and if the proposed merger is consummated, BBX will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC. The proposed merger of BFC and BBX is anticipated to simplify our corporate structure and intended to consolidate and streamline the combined companies, Levan concluded.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, which was unanimously approved by a special committee comprised of BBXs independent directors as well as the boards of directors of both companies, BBXs shareholders other than BFC will be entitled to receive, at their election, 5.4 shares of BFCs Class A Common Stock or $20.00 in cash for each share of BBXs Class A Common Stock held by them. BBX Capitals shareholders will have the right to elect to make different elections with respect to different shares held by them so they may elect to receive all cash, all stock, or a combination of cash and stock in exchange for their shares.
The results of operations and financial condition of the companies in which BFC holds a controlling financial interest, including BBX Capital Corporation and Woodbridge Holdings, LLC (Woodbridge), the parent company of Bluegreen, are consolidated in BFCs financial statements. BFC currently holds an approximate 82% ownership interest in BBX Capital. Woodbridge is owned 54% by BFC and 46% by BBX Capital. Woodbridges principal asset is its 100% ownership interest in Bluegreen.
The following selected information relates to the operating activities of Bluegreen and BBX Capital. See the supplemental tables below for the consolidating statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.
Bluegreen Corporation
Bluegreen is a sales, marketing, and management company focused on the vacation ownership industry. Bluegreen markets, sells and manages vacation ownership interests (VOIs) in resorts, which are generally located in popular, high-volume, drive-to vacation destinations. The resorts in which Bluegreen markets, sells or manages VOIs were either developed or acquired by Bluegreen, or were developed and are owned by third parties. Bluegreen earns fees for providing sales and marketing services to these third party developers. Bluegreen also earns fees by providing management services to the Bluegreen Vacation Club and property owners associations (POAs), mortgage servicing, VOI title services, reservation services, and construction design and development services. In addition, Bluegreen provides financing to individual purchasers of VOIs.
During the three month period ended September 30, 2016, Bluegreen paid cash dividends of $20.0 million to Woodbridge, Bluegreens parent company, and Woodbridge in turn paid $10.3 million of cash dividends to BFC and $8.8 million of cash dividends to BBX Capital. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, Bluegreen paid cash dividends of $45.0 million to Woodbridge, and Woodbridge in turn paid $22.9 million of cash dividends to BFC and $19.5 million of cash dividends to BBX Capital.
Bluegreen Selected Financial Data
Third Quarter 2016 Compared to Third Quarter 2015:
| System-wide sales of VOIs, net of equity trade allowances (2), were $172.7 million vs. $162.0 million. Included in system-wide sales are sales of VOIs made under Bluegreens capital-light business strategy(1), which were $144.6 million vs. $115.6 million, gross of equity trade allowances(2): |
○ | Sale of third party VOIs commission basis were $88.1 million vs. $70.4 million and generated sales and marketing commissions of $59.4 million vs. $51.0 million |
○ | Secondary market sales of VOIs were $45.4 million vs. $42.0 million |
○ | Just-in-time sales of VOIs were $11.1 million vs. $3.1 million |
| Average sales price per transaction was $13,679 vs. $13,267 |
| Sales volume per guest was $2,196 vs. $2,386 |
| Tours increased 15% |
| Other fee-based services revenue was $26.8 million vs. $24.8 million |
| Net income attributable to Bluegreen was $22.6 million vs. $23.3 million. |
| EBITDA was $43.2 million vs. $45.6 million (3) |
| Free cash flow (cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures) was $18.6 million compared to $32.7 million during the same period in 2015 |
(1) | Bluegreens 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 POA 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. |
(2) | Equity trade allowances are amounts granted to customers upon trading in their existing VOIs in connection with the purchase of additional VOIs. |
(3) | See the supplemental tables included in this release for a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income. |
Bluegreen Summary for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016
System-wide sales of VOIs were $172.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $162.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015. The growth in system-wide sales during the three months ended September 30, 2016 is primarily attributable to an increase of 15% in the number of total prospect tours, which included an increase of 20% in the number of new prospect tours, and an increase of 3% in the average sales price per transaction. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of 11% in the sale to tour conversion ratio for total prospects and a decrease of 10% in the sale to tour conversion ratio for new prospects.
Fee-Based Sales commission revenue was $59.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $51.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in the sales of third-party developer inventory during the 2016 period was due primarily to the factors described above related to the increase in system-wide sales of VOIs. However, Bluegreen earned an average sales and marketing commission of 67% during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to 72% during the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease in the average sales and marketing commissions in the 2016 period primarily related to an incentive commission of $1.1 million recorded in 2015 related to the achievement of certain sales thresholds pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable contractual arrangement.
Other fee-based services revenue increased 8% to $26.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Fee-based management services revenues increased during the 2016 period compared to the 2015 period primarily as a result of increases in the number of managed resorts and the cumulative increase in the number of owners in the Bluegreen Vacation Club.
Selling and marketing expenses were $90.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $81.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015. As a percentage of system-wide sales of VOIs, selling and marketing expenses increased to 52% during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to 50% during the three months ended September 30, 2015. Selling and marketing expenses vary as a percentage of sales from period to period based in part by the relative proportion of marketing methods utilized during such periods, most notably the percentage of sales to Bluegreens existing owners, which has a relatively lower cost compared to other methods. Further, the increase in the 2016 period was driven by less favorable sale to tour conversion ratios and higher percentage of front line sales compared to the 2015 period, partially offset by higher average sales price per transaction.
Net interest spread was $14.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $13.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015. The net increase in net interest spread during the 2016 period reflects the lower costs of borrowings and increase in the size of Bluegreens VOI notes receivable portfolio.

EBITDA is defined as earnings, or net income, before taking into account interest income (excluding interest earned on VOI notes receivable), interest expense (excluding interest expense incurred on financings related to Bluegreens receivable-backed notes payable), provision for income taxes and franchise taxes, and depreciation and amortization. For purposes of the EBITDA calculation, no adjustments were made for interest income earned on Bluegreens 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 Bluegreens business.
The Company considers Bluegreens EBITDA to be an indicator of Bluegreens operating performance, and it is used to measure Bluegreens 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 companys 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.
