Travel + Leisure To Absorb 23 Resorts In Pair Of Acquisitions

Hospitality company Travel + Leisure Co., which owns more than 280 resorts around the globe, is purchasing 23 more through two separate acquisitions.

One Of Spinnaker Resorts' Bluewater Resort In Hilton Head, South Carolina.

The Orlando, Florida-based company announced Wednesday that it has closed on the purchase of Yes& Vacations and has a definitive agreement to acquire Spinnaker Resorts in a deal expected to close in the third quarter of this year.

The combined purchase price for the two companies is $343M, which Travel + Leisure Co. is funding through cash and existing debt capacity, it said.

The acquisitions are expected to contribute $50M of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization on a full-year basis.

“These acquisitions reflect our approach to capital allocation — deploying capital where we believe it can generate attractive long-term returns while maintaining balance sheet flexibility and continuing our consistent approach to returning capital to shareholders,” Travel + Leisure Co. Chief Financial Officer Erik Hoag said in the release.

The 23 properties set to come under Travel + Leisure's ownership will expand its presence in Maui, Hawaii, and Hilton Head, South Carolina. Seven properties are in Maui, under Yes& Vacations' portfolio, and six are in Hilton Head, under Spinnaker Resorts' portfolio.

Spinnaker Resorts has a total 11 resorts, including in Branson, Missouri; Ormond Beach, Florida; and Williamsburg, Virginia. Yes& Vacations also has an island-inspired resort on the Las Vegas strip.

“Acquiring these companies strategically expands our presence in premier leisure destinations, adding quality inventory in markets where new development is challenging,” Travel + Leisure President and CEO Michael Brown said in the release.

Travel + Leisure is set to hold its earnings call on July 22. Its stock price was up 2.52% as of Wednesday afternoon.
