Wyndham International Treasury Transformation Pre-transformation Challenges

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

Cash structure provided limited visibility and access to overseas liquidity

Bi-weekly liquidity with no automation

Inability to deploy available cash balances across pool participants

Tax structure challenges relative to substance requirement

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

Wyndham International Treasury TransformationFuture State Objectives

Key objectives of the international treasury transformation initiative included:

Optimization of cash balances across Wyndham’s global entities by setting up efficient cash management structures

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

De-risking tax issues resulting from the legacy set-up and changing banking and regulatory environment with set up of new IHB

Leveraging Treasury technology to enhance visibility and control and streamline workflow

In-house Bank Capabilities

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

Phase 1 Global Cash Pooling

Improved visibility and enhanced control over cash

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

Phase 3

Global Netting

Phase 2

Centralized FX

Payments

Factory (Out of Scope)

Collections

Factory (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, replacing the IFSC structure. Payment and collections factory implementations can 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 and provided as

snapshots by weekly e-mails

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 - twice per week

through manual process

Operating Model• Hands-on and ad hoc interaction between Corporate

Treasury, Regional Treasury, and Field

Overlay Structure • Manual cash concentration structure

Current State

• Real time visibility to more entities’ cash balances as part of daily Kyriba reporting process via H2H and SWIFT

• All three Treasury centers live on Kyriba• Automated through Kyriba cash module

• 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

• Enhanced operating model structure with defined Treasury responsibilities and legal entities supported by Treasury

• 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 58 participating entities. Currently existing underlying physical pooling structures will continue to consolidate in-country cash balances and sweep into respective WFC accounts.
