TNL Q3 deep dive: Acquisitions and new brands drive tour growth, margin pressures persist
TNL reported Q3 revenue of $1.10B, beating estimates, with adjusted EPS at $2.21. EBITDA guidance remains in line. Acquisitions drove tour growth, but operating margins fell to 17.7% due to integration costs. New brands and marketing investments are expected to compress margins temporarily. Management forecasts full-year benefits from acquisitions, including $80M in cash from securitizing receivables in 2027.
