For the first quarter of 2010, transaction and membership fee revenue were $59.0 million and $32.5 million, respectively, an increase of 0.6% and a decrease of 1.7% over the same period in 2009.
Total active members at March 31, 2010 were approximately 1,826,000, a decrease of 3.6% over total active members of approximately 1,893,000 at March 31, 2009.

During the first quarter of 2010, Interval affiliated 14 new vacation ownership resorts in domestic and international markets.

Aston
Aston’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $16.3 million, an increase of 4.4% from the comparable period of 2009. Aston’s revenue for the first quarter included $10.3 million of pass-through revenue (defined below), an increase of 13.0% from the prior year period. Management fee revenue for the first quarter of 2010 was $6.0 million, a decline of 7.6% from the first quarter of 2009.
The decrease in Aston management fee revenue was primarily driven by a reduction in revenue per available room (“RevPAR”). RevPAR for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $102.80 compared to $112.12 for the same period in 2009, a decline of 8.3%.

Presentation of Financial Information
ILG management believes that the presentation of non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measures, including, among others, EBITDA, and free cash flow, serves to enhance the understanding of ILG’s performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to and not as substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, EBITDA (as defined) is used to calculate compliance with certain financial covenants in ILG’s credit agreement. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures improve the transparency of our disclosures, provide meaningful presentations of our results from our business operations excluding the impact of certain items not related to our core business operations and improve the period to period comparability of results from business operations. These measures may also be useful in comparing our results to those of other companies, however, our calculations may differ from the calculations of these measures used by other companies. More information about the non-GAAP financial measures, including reconciliations of GAAP results to the non-GAAP measures, is available in the financial tables that accompany this press release.
