Wyndham International Treasury Transformation Pre-transformation Challenges

q Wyndham’s international treasury operations were not optimized or integrated since spin-off from Cendant

q Cash structure provided limited visibility and access to overseas liquidity

§ Bi-weekly liquidity visibility to 6 – 8 Wyndham’s foreign legal entities and with limited or no automation

§ Inability to deploy available cash balances across pool participants

q Tax structure challenges relative to substance requirements

q FX risk management practices were fragmented, non-automated, and not transparent, resulting in greater cost and increased systemic risk to Wyndham

§ Exposure gathering and tracking systems and accounting processes were not standardized or robust, resulting in operational inefficiencies and unexpected P&L volatility

§ Performance reporting was non-existent

q Lack of consistent intercompany netting/settlement processes resulted in

§ Ad-hoc decisions to net and settle payables, lacking a structured approach

§ Significantly manual record keeping, introducing risk of errors

§ Higher volume of FX transactions for settling intercompany payables and receivables

7

Wyndham International Treasury TransformationFuture State Objectives

Key objectives of the international treasury transformation initiative include:

q Optimization of visibility to and control of cash balances across Wyndham’s global entities

§ Access to incremental liquidity from existing balances via “pull” system, generating annual interest savings

§ For restricted entities with “trapped” cash, utilize interest optimization yielding enhanced earnings credit

q Coordinating treasury restructuring initiatives with ongoing tax planning and restructuring efforts to optimize operations and mitigate potential tax exposures

q Creation of an in-house bank (IHB) structure to focus on optimization and integration of Wyndham’s international treasury operations inclusive of cash management, netting and FX processes

q Centralization, standardization and automation of FX exposure gathering and transaction execution processes to enhance the level of control and reduce risk to the Company

§ Generate cost efficiencies in FX transaction execution through minimizing number of external transactions

§ Implement regular FX hedge program performance reporting through FX Scorecard.

q Leveraging Treasury technology to enhance visibility and control and streamline workflow

q Automation and streamlining of intercompany netting and settlement processes to generate operational efficiencies and enhance level of control

8

In-house Bank Capabilities

Capabilities provided by an IHB structure were identified to help Wyndham achieve many of the future state objectives outlined above

Global Cash Pooling

§ Improved visibility and enhanced control over cash (“pull” system)§ Reduced resources

required for FX management and execution if multi-currency notional pool is used§ Efficiencies gained as a

result of ability to manage liquidity centrally and leveraging TMS.

Continuous Improvement

Global NettingCentralized FXPayments

Factory (Out of Scope)

CollectionsFactory

(Out of Scope)§ Centralized cash

receipts and application, netting of 3rd party payments and receipts§ Lower idle cash as

only the Collections Factory receives receipts§ Straight-through-

processing (STP) from invoicing to cash receipt

§ Consolidated payments to global vendors, enabling lower bank fees§ Lower idle cash as

only the Payment Factory needs to keep Liquidity§ Single bank payments

file and STP from payment to accounting and bank reconciliation

§ Improved efficiency in risk mitigation due to centralization§ Lower transaction

costs due to reduced volume of transactions§ Lower costs of

compliance§ Improved

management and exposure reporting

§ Reduction in banking fees and FX cost as the result of fewer transactions§ Automated

accounting eliminates manual processes§ Increased efficiency

through automated Intercompany process§ Increased control of

intercompany processes and reduction of LT risk

Approach: Implement Global Cash Pooling, Intercompany Netting and Centralized FX functions as part of IHB. Payment and collections factory implementations would be considered in the future potentially aligning with shared services strategy.

Global Cash PoolingPre-Transformation & Current State Overview

Considerations Pre-Transformation

Liquidity Visibility

• Visibility to cash balances limited to only 6 - 8 entities and only twice per week through manual process

• Monthly visibility only to other entities’ cash balances as part of monthly reporting process

Information Flow

• Visibility to US legal entity balances available through Kyriba

• Foreign entity process of getting visibility to cash is Excel based and manually intensive

Access to Liquidity

• Access to cash balances limited to only 6 - 8 entities and only twice per week through manual process

• Access to other entities’ cash balances is ad-hoc as part of monthly reporting process

Automation to Access Liquidity

• Non-existent, push structure with heavy field interaction

Operating Model • Hands-on and ad hoc interaction between Corporate Treasury, Regional Treasury, and Field

Bank Account Infrastructure

• Carried forward legacy bank accounts, which are redundant in the consolidated/combined organization

Overlay Structure • Manual cash concentration structure

Current State

• Enhanced roll-out of technology platform to enable real time visibility for all pool participants

• Real time visibility to more entities’ cash balances as part of daily Kyriba reporting process

• EMEAI, IHB and Latam Treasury live on Kyriba• Automated through Kyriba cash module• Access to all legal entities in scope for the global

cash pooling project

• Real time access to liquidity of the legal entities in scope for the global cash pool

• Access to incremental liquidity is generating substantial annual savings as compared to Wyndham’s cost of funds

• Optimized use of Kyriba and SWIFT network for daily settlement of the legal entities and the respective banks in scope for inclusion in the pool

• Enhanced operating model structure with defined responsibilities for Corporate and Regional Treasury, and legal entities supported by Corporate and Regional Treasury

• Streamlined bank account structure by country and rationalization of accounts identified as redundant

• Single entity multi-currency notional pool

• A notional pool overlay structure was identified to help Wyndham obtain a consolidated view of cash balances across all pool participants.

• Created a new IHB entity (Wyn Overseas Operations Limited, WOOL) with 20 participating entities. Currently existing underlying physical pooling structures will continue to consolidate in-country cash balances and sweep into respective WFC accounts.

Funding to the pool and repayment of funding

FX Risk Management Pre-Transformation & Current State Overview

Considerations Pre-TransformationExposure Identification & Aggregation

Fragmented with lack of reliance on systems or best practices

Exposure Analytics Limited high level exposure review prior to hedge execution

Hedge Execution Centralized at corporate regardless of entity that has exposure with manual transaction capture into Reval

Business Visibility & Overall Governance of Risk Management Function

No monthly review of hedge strategy & policy not updated for current needs of the business

Performance Measurement and Reporting

Limited definition of policy goals and lack of routine performance reporting to key stakeholders. This is a key priority and needs to be addressed soonest (i.e. before the technology implementation)

Process Automation & Technology

No automated accounting or hedge effectiveness testing processes exist

Current StateFireapps automated BS exposure extract from main ERP systems (Oracle R12, Peoplesoft)

Exposure analysis performed in Fireapps and Reval by Treasury Operations before hedging decisions are made*

Automated FX workflow from pre-trade input, approval, execution and settlement using Reval and FXall.

Monthly FX Scorecard review with business unit Finance teams as part of FX Risk Management Program

Redefined FX Risk Management goals and creation of monthly FX Scorecard vs. defined metrics

Established automated links between hedge execution, Reval, and ERP GL modules**

NOTE: future state go live: *Q2 2014, **Q4 2014.

Future State

Upload transaction data into Kyriba netting module

Performed by the netting center via Kyriba

Participants obtain final net position via Kyriba final netting settlement reports. Kyriba provides Consolidated Netting report to feed FX trading process as well as generate wires to participants owed by the netting.

Accounting entries provided either by third party netting solution or flow automatically from Reval into GL if netting process is performed in house

Perform input, settlement, and accounting functions via Kyriba Netting module required to perform end-to-end netting in house

The process for IC netting and settlement will be designed for all entities in scope for netting*, and the netting calculation process will leverage Kyriba’s Netting module. WOOL is expected to be the netting center entity.

*To be determined in coordination with Tax and Legal departments.

Implementation Considerations

Resources:

§ Internal: Treasury, IT, Accounting, Tax, Legal, PMO, Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt and Internal Audit

§ External: Banks, Vendors (Fireapps, Reval & Kyriba), Advisor (Deloitte & Touche Treasury Advisory)

Project Governance:

§ Capital Approval Request, Project Charter, Business Case

§ Lean Six Sigma Steering Committee Tollgate Reviews

Budget:§ Capitalized expenses: external and internal design & development hours§ Operating expenses: incremental Reval module & Fireapps, FXAll subscription fees net of

Treasury outsource and retired system savings§ Hardware: One virtual server (Reval/Fxall connector)

Wyndham Worldwide Corporation’s International Treasury Transformation has been successful due to a disciplined implementation approach that brought together cross-functional internal and external resources that executed the project under a strong governance structure

16

Summary of Benefits Realized

Key benefits realized to date from phases 1 & 2 of the implementations include:

Phase 1 – New IHB and Cash Overlay Structure:§ Cost Savings: $1.03M FX hedge cost p.a., net $580K interest savings = $1.6M total uplift.

§ Productivity Gains: Cost of additional EMEAI Treasury Analyst more than offset by Operating Expense savings from eliminating prior IHB outsource Treasury admin fees.

§ Process Efficiencies: Dynamic daily liquidity “pull” solution replaces twice weekly “push” system.

§ Yield Enhancement: New cash overlay released 10M of previously untapped liquidity, and working with Corporate Tax developed further means to access quarter end excess liquidity.

Phase 2 – FX Risk Management Process Redesign:§ Cost Savings: FX Scorecard feedback loop and Fireapps implementation exposure reviews resulted in finding

unhedged and incorrect exposures, thus reducing P/L volatility.

§ Productivity Gains: Targeted 25% reduction in time spent on transaction processing, elimination of IHB outsourcer trades (342 p.a.), reduced monthly accounting and reporting burden.

§ Process Efficiencies: Paperless workflow from hedge input through approval, execution and settlement results in significant time savings and refocus toward analysis.

17

Key Take-Aways and Lessons Learned

§ Adopted a Six Sigma approach with focus on transforming processes and using systems as enablers of process change

§ Phased approach to manage scope and resource intensity – implementation would be too intensive without phasing (and sub-phasing) into logical “chunks”.

§ Buy-in from international and business units is critical; participation from dependent functional teams is mandatory (e.g. IT, Finance and Accounting).

§ Tone at the top – Upfront approval and ongoing involvement from cross-functional executive team (Six Sigma Steering Committee).

§ Require detailed SOW up front from every vendor.

§ Software as a Service (SaaS) is low IT intensity, however, regular upgrades sometimes create uncertainty in the process. Watch out for vendors who upgrade frequently, results in increased “freeze” periods.

§ Require SaaS vendors to supply a test environments to avoid testing in production.

§ Test, test and re-test! Several iterations of our straight through processing connectivity.

§ Check bilateral agreements and feeder bank SWIFT capabilities up front – every bank is different

§ If using part-time internal project resources, be prepared for longer roll-out timelines.

§ Utilize and leverage internal PMO’s if available.

§ Allow for extra time in your plan for vendor negotiations and bank documentation (KYC’s).
