Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

  • Total Members grew to 193,370 from 171,927 in the first quarter 2022 and 51.3% year-over-year
    • Soho House Members grew to 142,250 from 130,919 in the first quarter 2022, and 27.1% year-over-year
  • MCG Membership waitlist now sits at an all-time high of >81,500 and retention rates continue at pre-pandemic levels
  • Total revenues of $243.8 million, 96.5% year-over-year growth
  • Membership revenues of $65.9m increased by 46.9% year-over-year, accounting for 27.0% of Total revenues
  • In-House revenues grew to $109.7 million up 139.5% year-over-year
    • Revenue Per Available Room (“RevPAR”) was 39.6% higher year-over-year on a Like-for-Like basis.
  • Net loss attributable to Membership Collective Group Inc. was ($82.0m) or ($0.41) per share
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $15.4m, up $27.9m from the second quarter 2021

“We had a good second quarter, welcoming more than 21,000 new MCG members and successfully opening a new Soho House in Los Angeles and The Ned NoMad in New York City. We have since opened two more Soho Houses, in Balham (South London) and Copenhagen, in July. We were able to grow revenue almost 100% year-over-year, driven by continued strong membership growth, as well as recovery of our In-House and Other revenues. This growth was despite significant FX headwinds and some continued COVID impact, most noticeably in Hong Kong,” said Nick Jones, Founder and CEO of MCG.

“We continue to increase our EBITDA and remain confident in our membership targets. We are on track to meet our target of nine new Soho House openings this year, as well as two new Ned sites in New York and Doha, and a new The LINE in San Francisco. We update our fiscal 2022 guidance primarily to reflect the impact of FX and Hong Kong on our reported numbers.”

We delivered the following highlights across our strategic priorities in the second quarter of Fiscal 2022

1. Global Expansion of Soho Houses

  • Five Soho Houses have opened year-to-date, and we remain on track for nine Soho House openings this fiscal year
  • The total number of Soho Houses increased to 36 by the end of the second quarter. We have now opened 20 new Houses since the beginning of 2018 including the two new openings in July
  • Cities Without Houses (CWH) launched in 10 new cities in the second quarter

2. Enhance Membership Value

  • New Soho House openings continue to enhance membership value
  • Our members' event, Soho Desert House, at Coachella drove 1.6 billion impressions. Members enjoyed performances by Billie Eilish and Anderson.Paak, as well as benefits from our event partners including Moet, Bacardi and Hugo Boss
  • The results of our efforts are reflected in record absolute membership growth in the quarter, a record waitlist, and continued high retention rates
  • Soho House members grew to 142,250 from 130,919 in the first quarter 2022, and 27.1% year-over-year

3. House Foundations

  • After publishing our ESG report earlier this year, we have made good progress towards our 2030 goals
  • We increased the number of Houses separating food waste by 20%, meeting our 2022 goal early
  • Soho Mentorship and Soho Fellowship – programs that help provide access and support in the creative industries – launched in four new locations: Brighton, Istanbul, Los Angeles and Balham (South London)
  • We have grown the number of mentees and fellows ~70% since YE 2021

4. Operational Excellence While Delivering Growth

  • We saw continued recovery of In-House revenue, driven by members coming back to the Houses and new offerings. Overall In-House revenues grew by 139.5% to $109.7 million in Q2 2022, up from $45.8 million in Q2 2021
  • Our accommodation performance continued to be strong, with RevPAR for Q2 2022 39.6% higher than Q2 2021
  • While inflationary pressures persist during 2022, to date, we have been able to offset most through pricing power and continued improvements in our purchasing across F&B and our retail business
  • For example, food and beverage cost of sales ratios have improved 230bps versus the second quarter 2019
  • House-level contribution margin increased 260bps year-over-year
  • We achieved second quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA of $15.4 million, an increase of $27.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2021

5. Launch & Grow New Membership Brands

  • Soho Friends, Soho Works and HOME+ memberships continued to increase, adding 10,112 members during the second quarter to reach 51,120 members.
  • We have already welcomed ~700 new members to the newly opened The Ned NoMad in New York, and look forward to opening The Ned Doha later this year
  • Soho Works continued to benefit from the trend towards flexible working, with memberships growing 106% vs the second quarter of 2021
  • New Soho Home collections resonated well - revenues in Q2 2022 increased by 105% YoY. Members continue to account for a significant proportion of revenues

6. Drive Digital Experience

  • We now have 150k active app users
  • 86% of our members now use the Member app (SH.APP), logging in 19 times on average across the quarter. We saw approximately 75% of all bookings through the SH.APP
  • The Soho Connect product has been introduced to House members, with a view to optimize it in preparation for launching of digital membership
  • Sohohouse.com unique users increased 12% quarter-over-quarter and 69% year-over-year

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation contains certain financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, House-Level Contribution and Margin, Other Contribution and Margin, Net Debt and certain financial measures presented on a Constant Currency basis that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘GAAP’). We refer to these measures as ‘non-GAAP financial measures.’ We use these non-GAAP financial measures when planning, monitoring and evaluating our performance. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for revenues or net income (loss), in each case as recognized in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies may calculate one or more of these measures differently, which reduces the usefulness of any such measure as a comparative measure. See Appendix for a definition of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We provide earnings guidance using both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts and is not provided herein because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that are made for future changes in foreign exchange and the other adjustments reflected in our reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures, the amounts of which, could be material.

The information in this presentation should be read in conjunction with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other information that we file with the SEC. The reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are an integral part of the information presented herein. You can access these documents on our website, www.membershipcollectivegroup.com, free of charge, as well as amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC. The information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into, and should not be considered a part of, this presentation.

In addition, the SEC maintains a website that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers, including the Company, that file electronically with the SEC at www.sec.gov.

The non-GAAP financial measures we use herein are defined by us as follows:

ADJUSTED EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net income (loss) before Depreciation and amortization, Interest expense, net, Income tax (expense) benefit, adjusted to take account of the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These other items include, but are not limited to, Gain (loss) on sale of property and other, net, Share of loss (profit) from equity method investments, Foreign exchange, Share of equity method investments adjusted EBITDA and Share-based compensation expense. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses (income) that do not relate to ongoing business performance.

HOUSE-LEVEL CONTRIBUTION AND MARGIN. House-Level Contribution is defined as House Revenues less In-House operating expenses, which includes expense items such as food and beverage costs, labor costs, variable overheads and fixed costs, such as rent. It does not reflect the impact of depreciation, amortization, impairment, gain or loss on sale of property, or general and administrative expenses. House-Level Contribution Margin is defined as House-Level Contribution as a percentage of our House Revenues and is a key determinant of our performance and profitability and our return on the investment we make in each of our Houses. Given that all costs associated with providing our members with the Soho House experience, including the costs associated with maintaining our Houses and providing services to members while in the Houses, are included in In-House operating expenses, we use House Revenues (inclusive of House Membership Revenues) in calculating House-Level Contribution and House-Level Contribution Margin to assess the overall profitability of our Houses. Accordingly, our management considers House-Level Contribution and House-Level Contribution Margin to be an important management measure to evaluate the performance of each House, and growth in aggregate House-Level Contribution allows us to leverage our general and administrative costs and improve overall profitability.

HOUSE MEMBERSHIP REVENUES. House Membership Revenues are comprised primarily of annual membership fees and one-time legacy registration fees from Soho House 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 below.

HOUSE INTRODUCTION CREDITS. New members admitted from April 4, 2022 are 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 against purchases of 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.

IN-HOUSE REVENUES. In-House revenues include all revenues realized within our Houses, including 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, nevertheless 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 CONTRIBUTION AND MARGIN. Other Contribution is defined as Other revenues plus Non-House Membership Revenues less Other operating expenses, which includes expense items not related to the operation of Houses, such as labor costs, variable overheads and fixed costs, such as rent. It does not reflect the impact of depreciation, amortization, impairment, gain or loss on sale of property, or general and administrative expenses. Other Contribution Margin defined as Other Contribution as a percentage of our Other revenues and is a key determinant of our performance and profitability and our return on the investment in our non-House business. Our management considers Other Contribution and Contribution Margin to be an important management measure.

NET DEBT. Net Debt reflects the total debt, comprising long-term debt, property mortgage loans and related party loans, less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Net Debt is an important measure to monitor leverage and evaluate the balance sheet. A limitation associated with using Net Debt is that it subtracts Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash and therefore may imply that there is less Company debt than the most comparable GAAP measure indicates. Management believes that investors may find it useful to monitor leverage and evaluate the balance sheet.

REVENUE PER AVAILABLE ROOM. The key industry standard for measuring hotel-operating performance is RevPAR, which is calculated by multiplying the percentage of occupied rooms by the average daily room rate realized.

CONSTANT CURRENCY. Some of our financial and operational data that we disclose in this release is 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 dollar change and the percentage change as if the exchange rate that is being used in the current period was in effect for all prior periods presented. We believe that this calculation provides a more meaningful indication of actual year over year performance and eliminates any fluctuations from currency exchange rates.

While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for revenues or net income (loss), in each case as recognized in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies may calculate one or more of these measures differently, which reduces the usefulness of any such measure as a comparative measure.

Beginning on March 14, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we issued membership credits to active members of our closed Houses to be redeemed for certain Soho Home products and services. Membership credits were a one-time goodwill gesture, issued as a marketing offer to active members. The expense represents our best estimate of the cost in fulfilling the membership credits.

Represent items of additional expense incurred in order to comply with health and safety protocols while keeping certain Houses open during the pandemic. In 2021, we received a government grant related to business rates in the UK which reduced our COVID-19 related expenses.

Our Corporate financing and restructuring costs vary significantly each year and period presented based on financing and restructuring being undertaken. Such costs do not relate to normal, recurring, cash operating expenses. In the second quarter of 2021, these costs consisted of IPO-related costs of $6 million.

There is no material impact from the correction of this error to previously reported periods.

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 non-controlling interest in a joint venture or (iii) operated 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, Soho Friends and SOHO HOME+ and are key to our growth strategy and enhancing our Soho House member experience. Like Soho House 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 Soho House 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. 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 rest of the world 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.

HOUSE MEMBERSHIP REVENUES. House Membership Revenues is an important performance indicator and is defined above in the NON-GAAP reconciliation.

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 an important performance indicator and is defined in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

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 Soho House Design, 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 the Ned.

NON-HOUSE MEMBERSHIP REVENUES. Non-House Membership Revenues are comprised of Soho Works membership revenues, Soho Friends membership revenues and SOHO HOME+ membership revenues.

SH.APP ACTIVE USERS. SH.APP Active App Users is defined as unique users who have logged into our membership App within the last three months.
