Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As of April 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023 and for the 13 Weeks Ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022
Soho House & Co Inc. is a global membership platform of physical and digital spaces that connects a vibrant, diverse group of members from across the world. These members use the Soho House & Co Inc. platform to both work and socialize, to connect, create, have fun and drive a positive change. Our members engage with us through our global portfolio of 41 Soho Houses, 9 Soho Works Clubs, The Ned hotels, the LINE and Saguaro hotels in North America, Scorpios Beach Club in Mykonos, Soho Home, our interiors and lifestyle retail brand, and our digital channels.
On March 17, 2023, we filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to change our corporate name from Membership Collective Group Inc. to Soho House & Co Inc., which became effective on March 20, 2023. In connection with our name change, our board of directors amended our bylaws to reflect the corporate name Soho House & Co Inc., also effective on March 20, 2023. No other changes were made to our bylaws. Prior to the change of our corporate name, our stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “MCG”. From March 20, 2023, our common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “SHCO”.
The consolidated entity presented is referred to herein as “Soho House & Co”, “SHCO”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”, as the context requires and unless otherwise noted.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting interim information on Form 10-Q. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The Company's significant estimates relate to the valuation of financial instruments, equity method investments, the measurement of goodwill and intangible assets, contingent liabilities, income taxes, leases, long-lived assets and the expected breakage of house introduction credits. Although the estimates have been prepared using management's best judgment and management believes that the estimates used are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
We operate on a fiscal year calendar consisting of a 52-or 53-week period ending on the last Sunday in December or the first Sunday in January of the next calendar year. In a 52-week fiscal year, each quarter contains 13 weeks of operations; in a 53-week fiscal year, each of the first, second and third quarters includes 13 weeks of operations and the fourth quarter includes 14 weeks of operations.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive loss, of changes in redeemable shares and shareholders’ equity (deficit), and of cash flows for the periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023.
The results of operations for the 13-week periods ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no impact on previously reported net loss or cash flows, and no material impact on financial position.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The ASU adds to US GAAP an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss, or “CECL,” model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which is intended to result in the more timely recognition of losses. Under the CECL model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument from the date of initial recognition of the financial instrument. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 2, 2023 and concluded that adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on either the financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures. There was no impact on beginning balance retained earnings upon adoption of this ASU.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation for at least a period of 12 months after the date these financial statements are issued, and contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
We have experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities over the past years as we develop our Houses. During the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023, the Company incurred a consolidated net loss of $

Company had a cash outflow from operations of $
In assessing the going concern basis of preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023, we have taken into consideration detailed cash flow forecasts for the Company, the Company’s forecast compliance with bank covenants, and the timing of debt commitments within 12 months of the approval of these financial statements, and the continued availability of committed and accessible working capital to the Company.
We have considered current global economic and political uncertainties, specifically including inflationary pressures on consumables purchased and wages, and the Company has factored these in when it undertook an assessment of the cash flow forecasts covering a period of at least
We believe that the completed working capital events, our projected cash flows and the actions available to management to further control expenditure (particularly in respect of timing of capital works and labor costs, as necessary, provide the Company with sufficient working capital (including cash and cash equivalents) to mitigate the impact of inflationary pressures and consumer confidences, subject to the following key factors:
Furthermore, available cash as a result of completed financing events, includes the exercising of an option on March 9, 2022 for issued additional notes under the existing senior secured notes for $
Based on the above, the consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, we continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023.

Comprehensive Loss
The entire balance of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes, is related to the cumulative translation adjustment in each of the periods presented. The changes in the balance of accumulated other comprehensive income loss, net of income tax, are attributable solely to the net change in the cumulative translation adjustment in each of the periods presented.
The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the following material variable interest entities (“VIEs”): Ned-Soho House, LLP and Soho Works Limited.
Prior to March 2022, Soho Restaurants was accounted for as a VIE and the Company was the primary beneficiary. Following the Soho Restaurants Acquisition described in Note 3, Acquisitions, the Company became the sole equity owner of Soho Restaurants, controls all voting rights and holds exposure to all of the economics of the entity as a result of Soho Restaurants being a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Following the Soho Restaurants Acquisition, Soho Restaurants is no longer considered a VIE.
Ned-Soho House, LLP
The Ned-Soho House, LLP joint venture maintains a management agreement to operate The Ned Hotel in London, which is owned by unconsolidated related parties to the Company. Management fees are recognized in other revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has a higher economic interest in Ned-Soho House, LLP as compared to its related party venture partner and therefore the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary.
Soho Works Limited

Toronto Joint Venture
On March 28, 2012, the Company and two unrelated investors (“Toronto Partners”) formed Soho House Toronto to establish and operate a House in Toronto, Canada. The Company is responsible for managing the development and operations of the property with key operating decisions requiring joint approval with the Toronto Partners.
56-60 Redchurch Street, London Joint Venture
On July 6, 2015, the Company and a related party investor (“Raycliff Partner”) formed Raycliff Red LLP (“Club Row Rooms”) to develop and operate a hotel at 58-60 Redchurch Street intended to provide additional members’ accommodation to the nearby Shoreditch House in London. This was later extended to include 56 Redchurch Street under the same terms. The Company is responsible for managing the operations of the property and the Raycliff Partner is responsible for managing the building.
The Company concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the Soho House Toronto or 56-60 Redchurch Street, London VIEs in any of the periods

Summarized Financial Information

The consolidated balance sheets set out the operating lease liabilities split between sites trading less than one year and sites trading more than one year. “Sites trading less than one year” and “sites trading more than one year” reference sites that have been open (as measured from the date the site first accepted a paying guest) for a period less than one year from the balance sheet date and those that have been open for a period longer than one year from the balance sheet date.

As of April 2, 2023, the Company has entered into 14 operating lease agreements that are signed but have not commenced. Of these, 11 relate to Houses, hotels, restaurants, and other properties that are in various stages of construction by the landlord. The Company will determine the classification as of the lease commencement date, but currently expects these under construction leases to be operating leases. Soho House Design (“SHD”) is involved to varying degrees in the design of these leased properties under construction. The Company does not control the underlying assets under construction. Pending significant completion of all landlord improvements and final execution of the related lease, the Company expects these leases to commence in fiscal years ending 2023, 2024, and 2026. The Company estimates the total undiscounted lease payments for the leases commencing in fiscal years ended 2023, 2024, and 2026 will be $

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company believes the carrying values of its financial instruments related to current assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to short-term maturities.
The Company has estimated the fair value of the debt as of April 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023 using a discounted cash flow analysis. The Company does not believe that the use of different market inputs would have resulted in a materially different fair value of debt as of April 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023.
The following table presents the estimated fair values (all of which are Level 3 fair value measurements) of the Company’s debt instruments with maturity dates in 2023 and thereafter:

Stock Repurchase Program
On March 18, 2022, the Company’s board of directors and a relevant sub-committee thereof authorized and approved a stock repurchase program for up to $
Loss Per Share
The Company computes loss per share using the two-class method. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings or losses are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class of common stock, and the resulting basic and diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders are therefore the same for Class A and Class B common stock.
Litigation Matters
The Company is not a party to any litigation other than litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management and legal counsel do not expect that the ultimate outcome of any of its currently ongoing legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
For the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023, there have been no material changes in the Company’s estimates or provisions for income taxes recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company has generated incremental deferred tax assets relating to tax losses, share-based compensation, and excess interest of $
The effective tax rate for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023 was
The Company’s core operations comprise of Houses and restaurants across a number of territories, which are managed on a geographical basis. There is a segment managing director for each of North America, and the UK, Europe and Rest of the World (“RoW”) who is responsible for Houses, hotels and restaurants in that region. Each operating segment manager reports directly to the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer - Americas combined. In addition to Houses and restaurants, the Company offers other products and services, such as retail, home & beauty products and services, which comprise its Retail operating segment; access to Soho Works collaboration spaces across the UK and North America, which comprise its Soho Works operating segment; and memberships for people who live in cities where physical Houses do not exist, which comprise its Cities Without Houses operating segment. The Retail, Soho Works, and Cities Without Houses operating segments also have segment managers which report directly to the CODM and are managed separately from the Houses and hotels in each region.
The Company has identified the following three reportable segments:

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As of April 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023 and for the 13 Weeks Ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022
The Company analyzed the results of the Retail, Soho Works, Soho Restaurants, and Cities Without Houses operating segments and concluded that they did not warrant separate presentation as reportable segments as they do not provide additional useful information to the readers of the financial statements. Therefore, these segments are included as part of an “All Other” category.
Intercompany revenues and costs among the reportable segments are not material and accounted for as if the sales were to third parties because these items are based on negotiated fees between the segments involved. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Intercompany revenues and costs between entities within a reportable segment are eliminated to arrive at segment totals. Segment revenue includes revenue of certain equity method investments, which are considered stand-alone operating segments, which are therefore not included in revenues as part of these consolidated financial statements. Eliminations between segments are separately presented. Corporate results include amounts related to Corporate functions such as administrative costs and professional fees. Income tax expense is managed by Corporate on a consolidated basis and is not allocated to the reportable segments.
The Company manages and assesses the performance of the reportable segments by adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, adjusted to take account of the impact of certain non-cash and other items that the Company does not consider in its evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These other items include, but are not limited to, loss (gain) on sale of property and other, net, share of loss (profit) of equity method investments, foreign exchange, pre-opening expenses, non-cash rent, deferred registration fees, net, share of equity method investments adjusted EBITDA, share-based compensation expense, and certain other expenses.
The following tables present disaggregated revenue for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022 and the key financial metrics reviewed by the CODM for the Company’s reportable segments:

Overview
Our Membership Platform
Soho House & Co is a global membership platform of physical and digital spaces that connects a vibrant, diverse group of members from across the world. These members use the Soho House & Co platform to both work and socialize, to connect, create, have fun and drive a positive change. On March 17, 2023, we changed our corporate name from Membership Collective Group Inc. to Soho House & Co Inc., which became effective on March 20, 2023. Prior to the change of our corporate name, our stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “MCG”. From March 20, 2023, our common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “SHCO”.
We began with the opening of the first Soho House in 1995 and remain the only company to have scaled a private membership platform with a global presence. Over the last 28 years, we have significantly expanded our membership expertise and diversified our offerings—both physically and digitally. As of April 2, 2023, we have approximately 238,000 members (including approximately 168,700 Soho House members) who engage with us through our global portfolio of 41 Soho Houses, 9 Soho Works, Scorpios Beach Club in Mykonos, Soho Home, our interiors and lifestyle retail brand, and our digital channels. The Ned hotels in London, New York and Doha and the LINE and Saguaro hotels in North America also form part of Soho House & Co's wider portfolio.
Our central pillar is Soho House, which drives the majority of our membership and revenue today. A Soho House membership offers access to a network of distinctive and carefully curated Houses, across North America, the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia, which serve as the cornerstone of our member experience. We enhance our member experience through our digital channels, including the Soho House App and our website. Our vision for the Soho House App has always been for it to be like having a House in your pocket. It’s our central destination for members to make bookings, invite guests, make payments, and connect with each other. Annually, we host thousands of member events worldwide, spanning film, fashion, art, food and drink, well-being, work and music—and help our members forge connections to bring them closer together.
Our membership expertise, honed through the growth of Soho House, has led to our evolution into the Soho House & Co, a home to numerous memberships including Cities Without Houses, Soho Works, Soho Friends and Ned’s Club. By designing, curating and growing our membership offering, our membership platform can respond to shifting lifestyle trends and the evolution of our members’ needs. Our memberships work together, allowing us to reach new audiences with a set of interconnected offerings.
Everything we do across these memberships begins and ends with our members. The foundation of our member experience has been crafted over our 28-year history and is built on the following pillars:
28
Our membership has remained resilient through multiple economic cycles and the COVID-19 pandemic. When our physical sites were forced to close as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was minimal impact on the retention of Soho House members. The power of our model is driven by the important role we believe that we play in our members’ lives and the value we consistently provide them for their membership fees. We believe our retention compares very favorably to leading consumer subscriptions or memberships—across music, media, fitness, entertainment and commerce—despite, in many cases, their significantly lower price points.
The demand for our membership is also demonstrated by our large and growing global wait list, which as of April 2, 2023 stands at over 89,000. Awareness of our distinct membership offerings and their scarcity is spread by our members organically through word of mouth, social media and press coverage.
There are multiple consumer forces at play that have increased the relevance of our memberships. We have observed a secular shift in the ways that people live and work—with less time spent in traditional corporate offices and more time in social spaces that encourage creativity and mutual engagement. We believe that these trends will only accelerate, and that the freedom to be able to choose where to live and work—particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic—will likely have a significant impact on our target market. We believe this will create an even greater demand for curated communities that can grow and thrive in a more deliberate environment.
Membership Revenues are comprised of annual membership fees and one-time initial registration fees paid by members. In-House Revenues include all revenues realized within our Houses, including food and beverage, accommodation, and spa products and treatments. Other Revenues include all revenues not realized within our Houses, including Scorpios, Soho Works and stand-alone restaurants, design and procurement fees from SHD and Soho Home among others. We view Membership Revenues and In-House Revenues as interrelated, insofar as although there is no minimum spend for any member on our In-House offerings that generate In-House Revenues. In practice the significant majority of In-House Revenues are generated by our members, and the pricing of our In-House offerings reflects that accordingly, with pricing of such In-House offerings being identical for both members and non-members.
Our Membership Platform
All of our memberships have been built to enrich the lives of their members, as well as expand our membership offering to a broader audience.
Soho House
Soho House remains at the core of our membership platform by creating a foundation upon which additional membership businesses can be built and scaled. While our physical Houses provide our foundation, the people inside them are the soul of Soho House. As a membership founded for the creative industries, we are proud to have championed members who have gone on to shape our cultural landscape as world class writers, artists, performers, directors, founders, designers, and producers – all reflecting the spirit and energy of Soho House.
The membership of each House is assembled by a select committee of influential creatives and innovators that represent the local area in which the membership is founded. Our members actively engage in creating the culture of each House, helping to shape and localize it by participating in member events and contributing to editorial and digital content. We believe this adds to the value of each House, enriching the membership and enhancing the attractiveness of membership to prospective members worldwide. With a new US Every House annual membership fee of approximately $4,500, providing access to all of our Houses globally, we believe our membership offering provides compelling value to our members that increases as we add new Houses and more members to our global community. Our Houses attract members from every demographic, with members from “Generation Z” (26 years old and younger) and “Millennials” (27- to 42-year-olds) constituting the fastest-growing cohorts. We also believe that the pricing of our In-House offerings represents great value to our members because of the level of quality provided, reinforcing the overall membership experience, rewarding their brand loyalty and creating opportunities for future and recurring revenue
We created the following types of membership under Soho House to reach a broader audience and enhance the experience of our existing members:
In 2017, we introduced a new type of Soho House membership known as Cities Without Houses (“CWH”), which opens up the Soho House membership to people who live in cities where we do not yet have a physical House. This membership allows us to welcome members to our global community in new geographies, generates additional revenues on our existing base of Houses and provides intelligence for future growth, which we have employed to open new Houses in certain locations, including Copenhagen, Denmark (July 2022), Stockholm, Sweden (December 2022) and Bangkok, Thailand (February 2023). As of April 2, 2023, we have over 7,400 CWH members across 76 cities.
There are a significant number of people who enjoy the Soho House way of living and who have already visited our Houses as guests, stayed in our bedrooms, or visited our public restaurants and spas, but do not currently have a Soho House membership. To respond to this audience, we launched Soho Friends in November 2020 for an annual subscription cost of approximately $130. We offer access to physical spaces, including Soho House bedrooms, and screenings, with additional benefits from our restaurants, spas and online retail brands, although Soho Friends do not have full access to our Houses. As of April 2, 2023, we had over 62,900 Soho Friends members. We
29
intend to grow this membership brand in a measured way so that our Soho House members continue to account for the majority of visitors to our Houses and restaurants.
Soho Home
Soho Home was created as a result of the consistent requests from our members to recreate the look and feel of the Houses in their own homes. Soho Home is an interiors and lifestyle retail brand that offers handcrafted furniture, lighting, textiles, tableware and accessories mostly through ecommerce. Over the past few years, we have transformed Soho Home into a high growth retail business. At the beginning of August 2022, we merged our SOHO HOME+ membership into Soho Friends.
Soho Works
First launched in 2015, Soho Works provides its members with the space and resources to work alongside other like-minded individuals and businesses—facilitating connections and providing the tools to flourish. Aimed primarily at existing Soho House and Soho Friends members, Soho Works draws on the same design principles and membership ethos as Soho House, but is a space purposed entirely for work and creative collaboration.
Beginning with one location in London, we have since opened eight additional sites in London, New York and Los Angeles over the last two years and as of April 2, 2023, we had 6,364 members. Soho Works membership rates vary by location and Soho House membership status. For Soho House members, a US Soho Works membership fee ranges from $400 to $750 per month, depending on membership type.
Scorpios Beach Club
Set in a cove on the southern tip of Mykonos, Scorpios offers a one of a kind beach experience with a well-established globally recognized brand. With a restaurant, terraces and daybeds, and a distinctive wellness offering, Scorpios enriches the lives of its guests who are looking to escape from their daily lives. We believe the Scorpios concept has significant potential to expand into additional locations as a key part of our platform and we expect to open our second site in Tulum, Mexico in 2024.
The Ned
The Ned brand seeks to embody a “city within a city” full-service destination, by playing host to multiple restaurants, bedrooms, a range of grooming services, spa, gym and a full-service members’ club. The membership offered by The Ned (“Ned’s Club”) including Ned’s Friends is aimed at a broader group of professional people. As of April 2, 2023, Ned’s Club London has approximately 3,100 members. In June 2022, The Ned NoMad in New York opened which covers 117,000 sq ft and includes a Ned’s Club, Cecconi's restaurant, as well as 167 bedrooms. As of April 2, 2023, The Ned NoMad has approximately 1,500 members. The Ned in Doha opened in November 2022, which as of April 2, 2023 had over 400 members. The Ned offers its members The Ned’s Club app, which allows members to make bookings, publish benefits, events and club related information. We receive management fees under hotel management contracts for each of the operations of The Ned sites.
The LINE
On June 22, 2021, we acquired the operating agreements relating to the ‘The LINE’ and ‘Saguaro’ hotels. The hotels that are currently operational are located in Los Angeles, Washington, Austin, Palm Springs, and San Francisco (opened September 2022), and among them offer a variety of food and beverage offerings together with approximately 1,500 hotel rooms. We receive management fees under hotel management contract for the operation of these hotels. The transaction has broadened our geographic reach in North America.
Factors Affecting Our Business
We believe the coveted lifestyle brand we have created has significant and proven growth potential. This potential, combined with the stability of our membership base, we believe will enable us to maintain our position as an industry leader in the future. We expect to grow our member base by growing the number of Soho Houses, continuing to scale our existing membership brands and launching and growing new membership brands. We believe our track record in expanding and growing our platform will position us to achieve significant and sustained growth.
A significant portion of our revenues is derived from House Revenues which consist of Membership Revenues and In-House Revenues. Our Membership Revenues, which are reflective of our steady and growing global brand, help to provide us with a recurring revenue base that limits the impact of fluctuations in regional economic conditions.
Our business and future performance is also affected by a variety of factors, including:
30
Reportable Segments
Our operations consist of three reportable segments (United Kingdom, North America, Europe and Rest of the World (“ROW”)) and one non-reportable segment that we present as “All Other”. Each of our segments includes all operations in that region including our Houses and all associated facilities, spas and stand-alone restaurants. Refer to Note 18 - Segments in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on reportable segments.
Key Performance and Operating Metrics Evaluated by Management
In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of operating and financial measures. These key measures include:
NUMBER OF SOHO HOUSES. The number of Soho Houses reflects the total number of Soho Houses in operation in any period, irrespective of whether each House is (i) controlled by us, (ii) operated through a noncontrolling interest in a joint venture or (iii) through a management contract.
We review the number of members from all Houses to assess new member growth, total House Revenues, and House-Level Contribution.
NUMBER OF SOHO HOUSE MEMBERS. Our Soho House membership model is an integral part of our business and has a significant impact on our profitability and financial performance. Typically, members hold an Every House membership or a Local House membership. Member count is the primary driver of Membership Revenues and is also a critical factor in In-House Revenues as members utilize the offerings that are provided within the Houses. Soho House members include all active, frozen and non-paying members.
The extent to which we achieve growth in our membership base, retain existing members and periodically increase our membership fee rates will impact our profitability. We have historically enjoyed strong member loyalty, reflected by very high retention rates. Robust demand for our memberships is also evidenced by considerable wait lists for our Houses.
The year-over-year increase in our total number of Soho House Members is driven by a combination of increases in membership at existing Houses and members from new Houses.
NUMBER OF OTHER MEMBERS. Other members include members of Soho Works and Soho Friends are key to our growth strategy and enhancing our Soho House member experience. Like Adult Paying members, other memberships are an integral part of our business and we believe will have a significant impact on our profitability and financial performance in the future.
FROZEN MEMBERS. Frozen Members refers to Adult Paying Members who have elected to suspend their membership payments on a six, nine- or twelve-month basis during which period the member is not able to gain access to a Soho House site as a member, access our membership Apps, or book bedrooms or Cowshed treatments or products on discounted member rates. Frozen Members are not included in Adult Paying Members, but are included in the total number of Soho House members.
MEMBERSHIP REVENUES. Membership Revenues are comprised of House Membership Revenues (as defined below) and Non-House Membership Revenues (as defined below). House Membership Revenues and Non-House Membership Revenues are each comprised primarily of annual membership fees and one-time registration fees which are amortized over 20 years. The one-time registration fee is no longer applicable to new members admitted from April 4, 2022; see "House Introduction Credits" below. Membership Revenues are a function of the number of members, membership mix, and membership pricing. For GAAP, we report Membership Revenues only from Houses and sites in which we own a controlling interest. Our membership pricing varies by geographic segment and membership offering and, as such, our mix of House and Soho Works club openings can affect our revenue growth and profitability over time. Prices are generally higher in North America and the ROW compared with the UK and Europe. Membership Revenues provide a stable and recurring source of revenues which have few direct costs and, as such, is a reliable and predictable source of cash flow.
31
HOUSE INTRODUCTION CREDITS. New members admitted from April 4, 2022 have been required to purchase House Introduction Credits as part of their membership, per the House rules. House Introduction Credits are credits of an equivalent value to cash within Houses and are redeemable to purchase food and beverage items, and bedroom stays, at the Houses. House Introduction Credits expire after the first three months from the date of issuance, where legally permitted in the regions we operate, if not utilized or if the Company terminates a member’s House membership. House Introduction Credits are recognized upon issuance as deferred revenue on our consolidated balance sheets. Revenue from House Introduction Credits are recognized as In-House revenues when redeemed by members, and as breakage revenue within Membership revenues upon expiration or in the period that we are able to reliably estimate expected breakage to the extent that they are unredeemed, are recognized. House Introduction Credits expire three months from the date of issue.
HOUSE MEMBERSHIP REVENUES. House Membership Revenues are comprised primarily of annual membership fees and one-time legacy registration fees from Adult Paying Members which are amortized over 20 years. The one-time registration fee is no longer applicable to new members admitted from April 4, 2022; see "House Introduction Credits" above.
IN-HOUSE REVENUES. In-House Revenues refer to all revenues realized within our Houses, and primarily includes revenues from food and beverage, accommodation, and spa products and treatments.
HOUSE REVENUES. House Revenues is defined as House Membership Revenues plus In-House Revenues, less Non-House Membership Revenues. Our management views House Membership Revenues and In-House Revenues as interrelated and their aggregation as important in tracking House performance. Although there is no minimum spend for any member on In-House offerings, in practice most members consume food and beverage, accommodations and other offerings at our Houses. The pricing of our In-House offerings is reflective of the fact that the significant majority of In-House offerings that generate In-House revenues are consumed by members who also pay a membership fee in relation to that House, with pricing of such In-House offerings being identical for both members and non-members.
OTHER REVENUES. Other revenues are defined as total revenues that are not realized within our Houses, including revenues from Scorpios, Soho Works and our stand-alone restaurants, procurement fees from SHD, Soho Home and Cowshed retail products and other revenues from products and services that we provide outside of our Houses, as well as management fees from hotel management contracts for The Ned Sites and the LINE and Saguaro hotels.
NON-HOUSE MEMBERSHIP REVENUES. Non-House Membership Revenues are comprised of Soho Works membership revenues, Soho Friends membership revenue and SOHO HOME+ membership revenues, which was merged into Soho Friends membership at the beginning of August 2022.
ACTIVE APP USERS. Active App Users is defined as unique users who have logged into any of our membership Apps within the last three months.
AVERAGE DAILY RATE ("ADR"). Average Daily Rate represents the average rental income per paid occupied room. We believe this is a meaningful indicator of our performance.
REVENUE PER AVAILABLE ROOM ("RevPAR"). The key industry standard for measuring hotel-operating performance is RevPAR, which is calculated by multiplying the percentage of occupied rooms to available rooms by the ADR realized. We believe RevPAR is a meaningful indicator of our performance because it measures the period-over-period change in room revenues for comparable properties. RevPAR may not be comparable to similarly titled measures, such as revenues, and should not be viewed as necessarily correlating with our revenue. We also believe occupancy and ADR, which are components of calculating RevPAR, are meaningful indicators of our performance. Where this is presented on a like-for like basis, RevPAR is adjusted for new or divested sites, for example Houses that were not open in the comparison period.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We refer to Adjusted EBITDA, House-Level Contribution, House-Level Contribution Margin, Other Contribution and Other Contribution Margin throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as we use these measures to evaluate our operating performance and each of these measures is defined in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” We believe these measures are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, House-Level Contribution, House-Level Contribution Margin, Other Contribution and Other Contribution Margin are all supplemental measures of our performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, House-Level Contribution, House-Level Contribution Margin, Other Contribution and Other Contribution Margin should not be considered as substitutes for GAAP metrics such as Operating Loss and Net Loss or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Some of our financial and operational data that we disclose in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are presented on a ‘constant currency’ basis to isolate the effect of currency changes during the period. Where we refer to a measure being calculated in ‘constant currency’, we are calculating the USD change and the percent change as if the exchange rate that is being used in the current period was in effect for the prior period presented. We believe that this calculation provides a more meaningful indication of actual year-over-year performance and eliminates the fluctuations from currency exchange rates.

In-House Operating Expenses were $143,972 for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023, an increase of $33,977 compared to the 13 weeks ended April 3, 2022. The increase is a result of the six new Houses opened since first quarter 2022 and the removal of COVID-19 related restrictions that were still having an impact on trade levels especially in Europe and Hong Kong in first quarter 2022. The increase year-on-year was also driven by wage inflation and retention initiatives across all regions in the second half of fiscal 2022, as well as energy increases in the United Kingdom, the cost of which has doubled at our Houses versus the comparative quarter. In constant currency, In-House Operating Expenses increased by $42,916.
House-Level Contribution, which is defined as House Revenues less In-House Operating Expenses, was $46,718 for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023, compared to $29,746 for the 13 weeks ended April 3, 2022, an increase of $16,972. The increase in House-Level Contribution predominantly relates to increased Soho House membership revenues year-over year as well the improvement in trading conditions especially in Europe and Hong Kong year-on-year, meaning greater contribution from these sites.
House-Level Contribution Margin was 24% for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023, increased by 3% from the prior period due to increased membership revenues prior period as well as the grant received from the Dutch government related to COVID-19 subsidies which we only became eligible for in the current quarter following completion of the application process, and proceeds from a settlement agreement from a developer in relation to an upcoming Europe House.

The increase year-on-year is predominantly driven by new restaurant and hotel sites in the UK and North America as well as increased trade volumes in Soho Home, following the opening of two additional retail sites and 75% increase in online sales year-on-year. In constant currency, Other Operating Expenses increased $12,619, or 29%.
Other Contribution, which we define as Other Revenues plus Non-House Membership Revenues less Other Operating Expenses, was $8,138 for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023, compared to $4,634 for the comparative period, an increase of $3,504. Other Contribution Margin was 13% for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023, an increase of 4% compared to the prior period.

In constant currency, General and Administrative Expenses increased by $3,668, or 14%.

Share-based compensation expense decreased by $1,957 to $5,846 for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023, primarily driven by relatively short vesting RSUs that vested in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 (impact of $3,195) and the lack of vesting of the RSU and Growth Share awards to our former Chief Operating Officer who departed the Company in Q4 2022 (impact of $700). There was no equivalent grant or vest in Q1 2023. This was partially offset by new grants of SARs and the continued impact of the Q4 2022 repricing of previously granted SARs (total impact of $1,500) as well as the grant and vesting impact of RSU awards to senior leaders (impact of $500).
Foreign exchange, net which is unrealized and non-cash in nature, moved from a $17,074 loss to a gain of $13,013 for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023, primarily driven by foreign exchange revaluation of our borrowings. Decreased foreign exchange volatility during the period has contributed to this movement in foreign exchange.
Other expenses has remained materially in line with 13 weeks ended April 3, 2022 decreasing by $253 to $1,029 for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023,

Adjusted EBITDA was $20,127 for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023, in comparison to $2,330 for the 13 weeks ended April 3, 2022, an increase of $17,797. The increase is driven by higher membership revenues from both Soho House and Non-House members versus the comparative period as well as increased operations following the removal of COVID-19 related restrictions especially in Europe and Hong Kong in comparison the comparative quarter. Additionally, the Company recognized a Dutch government grant related to COVID-19 subsidies which we only became eligible for in the current quarter following completion of the application process, and a settlement to recoup costs we have incurred from a former development partner in relation to an upcoming European House opening. These were partially offset by an increase in General and Administrative and Operating expenses year-over-year. In constant currency, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $17,986 compared to the comparative period in fiscal 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the cash requirements of our business operations. Our principal sources of liquidity are operating cash flows, holdings of cash and cash equivalents and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of April 2, 2023, we maintained a cash and cash equivalents balance of $154 million and a restricted cash balance of $8 million.
Our primary requirements for liquidity are to fund our working capital needs, operating and finance lease obligations, capital expenditures and general corporate needs. Our ongoing capital expenditures are principally related to opening new Houses, refurbishing and maintaining the existing House portfolio as well as investments in our corporate technology infrastructure to support our digital strategy and technology infrastructure.
In a given year, our primary cash inflows and outflows relate to the following:
42
We believe our existing cash and marketable securities balances will be sufficient to fund our operating and finance lease obligations, capital expenditures and working capital needs for at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future taking account of repayment terms of our Miami property debt.
Cash Flows and Working Capital
The following table provides a summary of cash flow data for the periods presented:

For the 13 weeks ended April 3, 2022, we had a $22,178 outflow of cash from investing activities, primarily due to purchases of property and equipment of $17,658 and purchases of intangible assets of $5,185.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

For the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023, we had a $631 outflow of cash from financing activities, primarily due to distributions to noncontrolling interest.
For the 13 weeks ended April 3, 2022, we had a $98,285 inflow of cash from financing activities, primarily due to the proceeds from borrowings of $103,650 principally related to the issuance of the Goldman Sachs Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement Additional Notes on March 9, 2022. Refer to Note 12 - Debt in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Cash Requirements from Contractual and Other Obligations
As of April 2, 2023, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our contractual obligations from those disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based on the financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. The estimates are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
43
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an ‘emerging growth company,’ as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, and are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not ‘emerging growth companies,’ including, but not limited to: presenting only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Sarbanes-Oxley; having reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy or information statements; being exempt from the requirements to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation or seek stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved; and not being required to adopt certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
44
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed from what was previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We principally operate in the UK and North America, although we have significant operations in Europe. Therefore, we are exposed to reporting foreign exchange risk in Pound sterling and Euros.
We have not, to date, used any material financial instruments to mitigate our foreign exchange risk. The directors and management will keep this situation under review. As income is received and suppliers paid in respect of the UK and European operation in Pound sterling or Euros, respectively, this acts as a natural hedge against foreign exchange risk.
If the USD had strengthened/weakened by 10% versus the GBP, revenue would have been approximately $14 million lower and approximately $14 million higher, respectively, and Net Loss would have been approximately $2 million lower and approximately $2 million higher, respectively, for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023.
If the Euro had strengthened/weakened by 10% versus the GBP, revenue would have been approximately $3 million higher and approximately $2 million lower, respectively, and Net Loss would have been approximately less than $1 million lower and approximately less than $1 million higher, respectively, for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss from amounts owed by financial counter-parties. Credit risk can occur at multiple levels; as a result of broad economic conditions, challenges within specific sectors of the economy, or from issues affecting individual companies. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist of cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
We maintain cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits held with banks, and money market funds that, at times, exceed federally or locally insured limits. We limit our credit risk by dealing with counterparties that are considered to be of high credit quality and by performing periodic evaluations of investments and of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions.
Liquidity Risk
We seek to manage our financial risks to ensure that sufficient liquidity is available to meet our foreseeable needs. We believe we have significant flexibility to control our capital expenditure commitments in new House developments through different investment formats. As of April 2, 2023, we had $154 million in cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet and £70.8m undrawn on the Revolving Credit Facility (subject to complying with our covenants) to meet our funding needs.
Cash Flow and Fair Value Interest Rate Risk
We have historically financed our operations through a mixture of bank borrowings and bond notes which are generally fixed, and expect to finance our operations through operating cash flows and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility. We seek to manage exposure to adverse interest rate changes through our normal operating and financing activities.
Inflation Risk
Inflation has an impact on food, utility, labor, rent, and other costs which materially impact operations. Severe increases in inflation could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If several of the various costs in our business experience inflation at the same time, we may not be able to adjust prices to sufficiently offset the effect of the various cost increases without negatively impacting consumer demand.
Commodity Price Risks
We are exposed to commodity price risks specially foodstuffs, natural gas and oil. Many of the ingredients we use to prepare our food and beverages are commodities or are affected by the price of other commodities. Factors that affect the price of commodities are generally outside of our control and include foreign currency exchange rates, foreign and domestic supply and demand, inflation, weather, the geopolitical situation, and seasonality.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management concluded that as of April 2, 2023 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level, due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such
45
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As disclosed in our Annual Report in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023, based on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of January 1, 2023, because of the identification of two material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses related to (i) our lack of a sufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge and experience with the application of US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with our financial reporting requirements, including lease accounting; and (ii) the fact that policies and procedures with respect to the review, supervision and monitoring of our accounting and reporting functions, including IT general controls, were either not designed and in place, or not operating effectively. As a result, adjustments to our financial reporting were identified and made during the course of the audit process.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and our management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting also are based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time we are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. At present, we are not a party to any litigation other than litigation in the ordinary course of business. We do not expect that the ultimate outcome of any of the currently ongoing legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
However, the results of litigation and arbitration are inherently unpredictable and the possibility exists that the ultimate resolution of matters to which we are or could become subject could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in section “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023, which could materially affect our business, financial position, or future results of operations. There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risks described in our Annual Report Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not precisely known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also arise and materially impact our business. If any of these risks occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected and the trading price of our common stock could decline.
