Company increased its contract sales guidance to +3% to +7% for the year (up from prior guidance). Tours are expected to decline 1% to 3% (driven by planned Asia reductions) while VPG is expected to increase in the mid- to high-single-digit range. Q2 contract sales expected +4% to +8%; Q2 adjusted EBITDA expected $197M to $202M.
