Inspirato Announces First Quarter Financial and Operating Results

DENVER, May 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inspirato Incorporated (“Inspirato” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ISPO), the innovative luxury travel subscription brand, today announced its 2023 first quarter financial and operating results.

Except as otherwise stated, all financial results discussed below are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. As supplemental information, we have provided certain additional non-GAAP financial measures in this press release’s supplemental tables, and such supplemental tables include a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to our GAAP results. The sum of individual metrics may not always equal total amounts indicated due to rounding.

2023 First Quarter Highlights:

  • Solid Revenue Growth. Total revenue of $92 million for the first quarter, representing 12% year-over-year growth and a 6% sequential increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • Financial Performance. Net loss of $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to a net loss of $24 million in the comparable 2022 period. Adjusted EBITDA loss, a non-GAAP measure defined below, of $3.1 million, a 15% improvement from the first quarter of 2022.
  • Subscription Base. Active Subscriptions of 15,700 at March 31, 2023, representing a year-over-year increase of 3% and sequential quarterly decrease of 2%. Inspirato Pass subscriptions at March 31, 2023 of 3,300 representing a year-over-year decrease of 1% and sequential quarterly decrease of 8%.
  • Strong Demand. Total Occupancy of 77% and Total Nights Delivered of 50,700, a year-over-year increase of 18%.
  • Portfolio Optimization. Ended the first quarter with 726 Controlled Accommodations, an 11% net increase year-over-year. Controlled Accommodations decreased 1% compared to year-end 2022 as the Company removed from its portfolio select underperforming accommodations to drive future profitability.
  • Successful Early Adoption of New Offerings. First quarter Inspirato for Good (“IFG”) and Inspirato for Business (“IFB”) sales of $2.3 million and $4.4 million, respectively, representing increases of 88% and 85%, respectively, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. These sales will be recognized as subscription revenue over the life of the contract and travel revenue at the time of travel.

Management Commentary

Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Brent Handler commented, “I’m incredibly proud of our team’s ability to execute on a number of new initiatives aimed at delivering a sustainable improvement to our gross margins. We entered the year with a heightened focus on optimizing our portfolio through lease renegotiations and inventory management. Coupled with the continued success of Inspirato for Good and Inspirato for Business, these efforts position Inspirato to deliver long-term shareholder value.”

“Along those lines – and consistent with our relationship-driven platform centered around delivering exceptional luxury travel experience – I’m extremely excited with the introduction of our new Member Investor Benefit. With this exclusive program, we are offering members one complimentary vacation for every 50,000 shares owned and held for six months.”

Added Chief Financial Officer Robert Kaiden, “Inspirato is an exciting brand with a strong outlook and clear roadmap to generating sustainable profitability on an adjusted EBITDA basis. I look forward to working with the team and executing our plan.”

2023 Guidance

In 2023, the Company’s primary focus is on positioning itself to achieve future profitability on an adjusted EBITDA basis by improving its operating efficiencies and cost structure and focusing on portfolio optimization. The Company reaffirms its prior 2023 guidance of total revenue between $350 and $370 million, an adjusted EBITDA loss of $10 million to $20 million and total operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, between $135 million and $140 million*. Further, the Company anticipates ending the year with a cash balance between $40 million and $50 million.

* Includes general and administrative, excluding stock-based compensation, sales and marketing, operations and technology and development expenses.

These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the Forward-Looking Statements below for information on the factors that could cause Inspirato’s actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure. The Company is unable to reconcile forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to net income, its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, without unreasonable effort, as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as equity-based compensation expense. However, it is important to note that material changes to reconciling items could have a significant effect on Inspirato’s future GAAP results.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to Inspirato’s results determined in accordance with GAAP, Inspirato uses Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Free Cash Flow as part of its overall assessment of its performance, including the preparation of its annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies and to communicate with its board of directors concerning its business and financial performance. Inspirato believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors about its business and financial performance, enhance their overall understanding of Inspirato’s past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by Inspirato’s management in their financial and operational decision making. Inspirato is presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing its business and financial performance through the eyes of management, and because Inspirato believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing results of operations of its business over multiple periods with other companies in its industry.

There are limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures, including that they exclude significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Inspirato’s financial measures. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore, Inspirato’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Thus, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

Inspirato compensates for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBTIDA Margin and Free Cash Flow to their respective related GAAP financial measures. Inspirato encourages investors and others to review its business, results of operations, and financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA loss, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Free Cash Flow in conjunction with their respective related GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted Net Loss. Adjusted Net Loss is a non-GAAP financial measure that Inspirato defines as net income (loss) before warrant fair value gains and losses.

The above items are excluded from Inspirato’s Adjusted Net Loss measure because management believes that these costs and expenses are not indicative of core operating performance and do not reflect the underlying economics of Inspirato’s business.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that Inspirato defines as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation expense, warrant fair value gains and losses, and public company readiness expenses.

The above items are excluded from Inspirato’s Adjusted EBITDA measure because management believes that these costs and expenses are not indicative of core operating performance and do not reflect the underlying economics of Inspirato’s business.

Free Cash Flow. Inspirato defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and additions to capitalized software. Inspirato believes that Free Cash Flow is a meaningful indicator of liquidity that provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from operations, after purchases of property and equipment and additions to capitalized software, that can be used for strategic initiatives. Inspirato’s Free Cash Flow is impacted by the timing of bookings because it collects travel revenue between the time of booking and 30 days before a stay or experience occurs. See below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures.

Key Business and Other Operating Metrics

Inspirato uses a number of operating and financial metrics, including the following key business metrics, to evaluate its business, measure its performance, identify trends affecting its business, formulate financial projections and business plans, and make strategic decisions. Inspirato regularly reviews and may adjust processes for calculating its internal metrics to improve their accuracy.

Active Subscriptions. Inspirato uses Active Subscriptions to assess the adoption of its subscription offerings, which is a key factor in assessing penetration of the market in which it operates and a key driver of revenue. Inspirato defines Active Subscriptions as subscriptions as of the measurement date that are paid in full, as well as those for which Inspirato expects payment for renewal.

Controlled Accommodations. Controlled Accommodations includes leased residences, hotel penthouses, suites and rooms, and residences under net rate agreements, including those that have executed agreements but have not yet been released for booking by Inspirato’s members.

Total Nights Delivered. Total Nights Delivered includes all Paid, Inspirato Pass, Inspirato for Good, Inspirato for Business, employee and other complimentary nights in all residences or hotels.

Total Occupancy. Total Occupancy is inclusive of Paid, Inspirato Pass, Inspirato for Good, Inspirato for Business, employee and other complimentary nights in residences.
