Net income attributable to common shareholders advanced to $10.05 million or $0.18 per share from $7.5 million or $0.13 per share in the year-ago period.
During the quarter, the firm recorded a $0.6 million non-cash, pre-tax charge associated with the extinguishment of its term loan in connection with entering into an amended and restated $500 million revolving credit facility.

Management fee and rental revenue surged 99.7 percent, primarily due to the incremental contribution from Vacation Resorts International subsequent to the acquisition, higher revenue generated by Trading Places International and improvement in RevPAR at Aston that grew to $117.49 from $95.12.
