Bluegreen Vacations Provides Hurricane Florence Update

Bluegreen Vacations Corporation (NYSE: BXG) ("Bluegreen Vacations" or the "Company") today provided an initial assessment of the impact of Hurricane Florence on its operations.

The Company has nine Club Resorts and two Club Associate Resorts that were in the primary path of Hurricane Florence in North and South Carolina. Preliminary reports based on initial inspections indicate that physical damage was generally limited to water intrusion in rooms and common areas of the resorts. However, given the mandatory evacuations, resort and sales office closures, the disruption of owner and guest travel caused by the storm and the subsequent flooding, the Company experienced cancelations in reservations, sales tours, rentals and other services.

The impacted resorts in North Carolina included Blue Ridge Village, Club Lodges at Trillium, Waterwood Townhouses and Sandcastle Village II. The impacted resorts in South Carolina included King 583, Lodge Alley Inn, Horizons at 77^th, Harbour Lights, Shore Crest Vacation Villas, Carolina Grande and Seaglass Tower. Of these resorts, only Lodge Alley Inn (Charleston, SC), Shore Crest Vacation Villas (Myrtle Beach, SC), and Carolina Grande (Myrtle Beach, SC) have sales centers. Our large off-site sales center in Myrtle Beach was also impacted.

We are pleased to report that as of September 30, 2018, all of the Company’s resorts and sales centers were fully operational, with the exception of the two Club Associate resorts in Bern, North Carolina (Waterwood Townhouses and Sandcastle Village II) both of which are expected to reopen in October.

"As we assess the aftermath of Hurricane Florence, our hearts go out to all who have been impacted by the storm. Our first priority was to ensure the safety and well-being of our owners, guests and associates,” stated Shawn B. Pearson, President and CEO of Bluegreen Vacations. "We are now focused on resuming normal operations and getting back to what we do best, making memories for our owners and guests. We’d like to thank our team for their hard work and dedication during this difficult time.”

The limited damage that the resorts sustained was repaired prior to reopening the rooms to owners and guests. The Company and the resort home owners’ associations maintain comprehensive insurance coverage for property, business interruption and other risks with respect to all of its facilities, with industry standard deductibles in each of the locations. In addition to impact from closures at the affected resorts, the hurricane also disrupted travel plans of owners and marketing guests staying at certain of the Company’s other resorts, as well as reduced vacation package sales at marketing locations in the affected areas.

At this time, the Company estimates that the storm caused a loss of system-wide sales in the third quarter of 2018 in the $5.0 million to $5.8 million range, with the related EBITDA impact estimated to be between $2.0 million to $2.3 million. The Company also expects an additional impact on system-wide sales and EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2018 from the ongoing flooding from Hurricane Florence, as well as the impact of reduced vacation package sales due to the storm which are expected to impact travel and sales in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company anticipates that it will provide an estimate of the impact on its fourth quarter results when it releases its earnings for the third quarter of 2018. While costs related to physical damage are still being determined, those costs are not expected to be material to the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The Company’s resorts in Myrtle Beach are currently accepting donations including non-perishable food items, new or gently-used clothing as well as personal hygiene and household products: SeaGlass Tower™, Shore Crest Vacation Villas™ I & II, Harbour Lights™, Caroline Grande™, Horizons at 77, as well as the Company’s Myrtle Beach Preview Center. Guests staying at any of the resorts listed above during the month of October can also participate in a Give and Getaway program and help the impacted Myrtle Beach community through various volunteer opportunities.
