Management Commentary
Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Brent Handler commented, “In the third quarter, we once again established a number of new company records throughout our business, including Active Subscriptions, Pass Subscriptions, and total revenue. We continue to deploy our Inspirato Pass and Select technology in new and innovative ways, including to power two new offerings - Inspirato for Good and Inspirato for Business – that we believe will significantly expand our target addressable market and accelerate growth at a lower customer acquisition cost. Both Inspirato for Good and Inspirato for Business are already demonstrating strong early-adoption trends. As such, for 2023, we reiterate our expectation of achieving positive Adjusted EBITDA and anticipate generating more than $400 million of total revenue.”
Chief Financial Officer Web Neighbor added, “We entered 2022 with an emphasis on expanding the supply of our Controlled Accommodations to serve the travel demand from our growing subscriber base. Having successfully increased our Controlled Accommodations by nearly 50% year-over-year and broadening and diversifying our inventory mix to grow our share of our subscribers’ travel wallets, we are shifting our near-term focus to portfolio optimization rather than portfolio growth. We expect this more moderate pace of growth to contribute to increased gross margins over time. Additionally, our plan for 2023 is to achieve an overall reduction in corporate operating expenses as we leverage the significant investments we’ve made over the past two years.”
Third Quarter Business and Financial Highlights
Total revenue for the quarter was $93 million, a 44% increase year-over-year. Subscription revenue in the third quarter of 2022 was $39 million compared to $25 million in the third quarter of 2021. The 53% increase in subscription revenue between periods was attributable to an increase in Active Subscriptions to 16,300 as of September 30, 2022, compared to 14,100 at the end of the third quarter of 2021. Inspirato Pass subscriptions grew 61% to 3,800 as of September 30, 2022 from 2,400 at the end of the third quarter of 2021, while Inspirato Club subscriptions grew 6% to 12,400 from approximately 11,700 between periods.
Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) increased to a record of $167 million at the end of the third quarter of 2022 compared to $115 million as of September 30, 2021. The 45% year-over-year increase in ARR was due to growth in Active Subscriptions, as well as an increased share of Inspirato Pass subscriptions, which contribute more subscription revenue than Inspirato Club subscriptions.

Travel revenue was $55 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $40 million in the third quarter of 2021. The 38% increase in travel revenue year-over-year was primarily due to increases in total Paid nights delivered, Paid average daily rates* and revenue from Inspirato’s Bespoke travel services and experiences.
*Paid average daily rate is equal to total paid residence revenue divided by total paid residence nights.
Gross margin in the third quarter of 2022 was $30 million, an increase of 35% compared to gross margin of $22 million in the third quarter of 2021. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 32% for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to 35% in the third quarter of 2021.

In order to satisfy consumer demand for private luxury accommodations, the Company successfully increased its Controlled Accommodations to a record 726 as of September 30, 2022, representing an increase of 48% compared to a year ago.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $7.3 million compared to a net loss of $9.1 million in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted Net Loss, a non-GAAP measure defined below, was $10.8 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to an Adjusted Net Loss of $9.1 million in the comparable 2021 period. The primary difference in net loss and Adjusted Net Loss between periods was due to the change in warrant fair value gains between periods.
Adjusted EBITDA loss, a non-GAAP measure defined below, was approximately $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to a loss of approximately $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2021. The difference in Adjusted EBITDA loss between periods was primarily due to increased corporate operating expenses partially offset by increased gross margin between periods.
Net cash flows used in operations was approximately $22 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $1.3 million in the comparable 2021 period. The difference in cash flows between periods is primarily attributable to changes in deferred revenue.
2022 Guidance
Given the timing of this release, the Company is announcing its revised downward guidance for 2022 full-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA loss. The Company now anticipates full-year 2022 revenue of approximately $340 million, a year-over-year increase of approximately 45%. Updated revenue expectations reflect lower than anticipated Total Occupancy in the fourth quarter and a reduced pace of new Pass subscription sales witnessed in October and November that is expected to continue through year-end. Additionally, the Company has reallocated its internal sales and marketing resources to target new and expanded target markets – business and philanthropy – through its Inspirato for Business and Inspirato for Good platforms. The Company believes these initiatives will result in lower customer acquisition costs, stable and growing recurring revenue and a pipeline of highly qualified prospects for its Club and Pass subscription products.
By year-end, the Company anticipates selling approximately 500 Inspirato for Good subscription and trip packages amounting to more than $1 million of revenue which will be recognized primarily in 2023, along with the facilitation of over $1 million of donations to our non-profit partners.
Adjusted EBITDA loss, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, is expected to be approximately $35 million for 2022. The Company’s revised 2022 Adjusted EBITDA loss guidance reflects lower than anticipated travel demand during the peak festive season as well as the reduced pace of new Pass subscription sales and higher than anticipated operating expenses.
The Company expects to end the year with approximately $80 million of cash and with no debt outstanding.
These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the Forward-Looking Statements safe harbor below for information on the factors that could cause our 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 our future GAAP results.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we use Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Free Cash Flow as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our business and financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors about our business and financial performance, enhance their overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in their financial and operational decision making. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing our business and financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing results of operations of our business over multiple periods with other companies in our 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 our financial measures. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore, our 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.
We compensate 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. We encourage investors and others to review our 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 we define as net income (loss) before non-controlling interests excluding gain on forgiveness of debt and warrant fair value gains and losses.
The above items are excluded from our Adjusted Net Loss measure because our management believes that these costs and expenses are not indicative of our core operating performance and do not reflect the underlying economics of our business.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation expense, warrant fair value gains and losses, pandemic related severance costs, public company readiness expenses, and gain on forgiveness of debt.
The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA (loss) measure because our management believes that these costs and expenses are not indicative of our core operating performance and do not reflect the underlying economics of our business.
Free Cash Flow. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and additions to capitalized software. We believe that Free Cash Flow is a meaningful indicator of liquidity that provides information to our 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. Our Free Cash Flow is impacted by the timing of bookings because we collect travel revenue between the time of booking and 30 days before a stay or experience occurs. See below for reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures.
Key Business Metrics
We use a number of operating and financial metrics, including the following key business metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and business plans, and make strategic decisions. We regularly review and may adjust our processes for calculating our internal metrics to improve their accuracy.
Active Subscriptions and Active Subscribers. We use Active Subscriptions to assess the adoption of our subscription offerings, which is a key factor in assessing our penetration of the market in which we operate and a key driver of revenue. We define Active Subscriptions as subscriptions as of the measurement date that are paid in full, as well as those for which we expect payment for renewal. Active Subscribers are subscribers who have one or more Active Subscription(s).
Annual Recurring Revenue. We believe that ARR is a key metric to measure our business performance because it is driven by our ability to acquire Active Subscriptions and to maintain our relationship with existing subscribers. ARR represents the amount of revenue that we expect to recur annually, enables measurement of the progress of our business initiatives, and serves as an indicator of future growth. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue, and is not intended to be a substitute for, or combined with, any of these items. ARR consists of contributions from our subscription revenue streams and does not include travel revenue or enrollment fees. We calculate ARR as the number of Active Subscriptions as of the end of a period multiplied by the then-current annualized subscription rate for each applicable subscription type at the end of the period for which ARR is being calculated.
Other Operating Metrics
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 our members.
Total Nights Delivered. Total Nights Delivered includes all Paid, Inspirato Pass, employee and other complimentary nights in all residences or hotels.
Total Occupancy. Total Occupancy is inclusive of Paid, Inspirato Pass, employee and other complimentary nights in residences.
