Membership Collective Group Inc. (“MCG”) 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 MCG 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 30 Soho Houses, 9 Soho Works Clubs, The Ned in London, Scorpios Beach Club in Mykonos, Soho Home, our interiors and lifestyle retail brand, and our digital channels.
MCG was incorporated on February 10, 2021 under the laws of the State of Delaware. On July 19, 2021, we completed the initial public offering (“IPO”) of Class A of our common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-257206). Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, we completed the following reorganization transactions (the "Reorganization Transactions") which resulted in changes to our common stock and issued and outstanding shares:
affiliates of The Yucaipa Companies, LLC, and Messrs. Ron Burkle, Nick Jones, and Richard Caring exchanged their equity interests in our predecessor entity, Soho House Holdings Limited (“SHHL”), for 141,500,385 shares of Class B common stock having an equivalent value;
the other equity holders of SHHL exchanged their equity interests for 14,935,193 shares of Class A common stock having an equivalent value.
In the IPO, we sold 30,567,918 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $14.00 per share, including 567,918 shares of Class A common stock sold pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of a “greenshoe” option to purchase additional shares of common stock to cover over-allotments. Immediately after the IPO, the senior convertible preference shares of SHHL were converted into 15,526,619 shares of Class A common stock.
The net proceeds from the IPO were $388 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering costs. A portion of the proceeds from the IPO was used to repay outstanding indebtedness of $98 million in respect of our revolving credit facility and to pay the redemption price of the outstanding May 2016 redeemable preferred shares in an aggregate amount of $20 million.
During periods preceding the IPO that are presented in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, our business was conducted through SHHL, a Jersey, Channel Islands private limited company, and its subsidiaries and joint ventures. As a result of the Reorganization Transactions, SHHL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCG. Such transactions were accounted for as a reorganization and, therefore, the consolidated financial statements of MCG in periods after the IPO recognize the assets and liabilities received in the Reorganization Transactions at their historical carrying amounts, as reflected in the historical financial statements of SHHL.
The consolidated entity presented is referred to herein as “MCG”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”, as the context requires and unless otherwise noted.
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed 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. We consistently applied the accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements of SHHL as of and for the year ended January 3, 2021 included in Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Form S-1 filed with the SEC on July 6, 2021 in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, other than those impacted by new accounting standards as described below.
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 condensed consolidated balance sheets, 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 Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Form S-1 filed with the SEC on July 6, 2021.
The results of operations for the 13-week and 39-week periods ending October 3, 2021 and September 27, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
The unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and statement of comprehensive loss for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 include the correction of an error related to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019. The error relates to the correction of a consolidating adjustment for foreign currency transaction gains of $13 million in the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021 and $4 million in the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019. The correction of this error is presented within other in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 and within foreign currency translation adjustment in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021.
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.
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 and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, the Company incurred a consolidated net loss of $76 million and $226 million, respectively. During the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, the Company had negative cash flow from operations of $115 million. As of October 3, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $980 million. As of October 3, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $259 million, and restricted cash of $9 million.
In addition, since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted our business and we have had to temporarily close some or all of our Houses, hotels and public restaurants, at different times due to the ongoing effects of the pandemic, which has and will continue to have an impact on our revenues. At the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, our Houses are open where possible.
In assessing the going concern basis of preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, we have taken into consideration detailed cash flow forecasts for the Company, the Company’s forecast compliance with bank covenants, and the continued availability of funding to the Company from banks and shareholders.
We have considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and the resultant global economic uncertainties and have undertaken are-assessment of the cash flow forecasts covering a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued. Cash flow forecasts have been prepared based on a range of scenarios including, but not limited to, no further debt or equity funding, the timing of a full re-opening of our Houses staggered and/or deferred to the end of the calendar year, cost reductions, both limited and extensive, and a combination of these different scenarios. We have assessed the sensitivity analysis on cash flows, and in order to finance these cash flow forecasts, we have completed a series of positive financing events during 2021, including issuance of new senior secured notes in an aggregate amount equal to $295 million, €62 million ($73 million) and £53 million ($73 million), issuance of $175 million of senior convertible preference shares, and completion of our IPO for net proceeds of $388 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering costs (including net proceeds from the partial exercise of the overallotment option). The senior secured notes include an option for the Company to issue additional notes in an aggregate amount of up to $100 million on or prior to March 31, 2022. The proceeds from the senior secured notes and senior convertible preference shares have been used to repay all amounts outstanding under the Permira Senior Facility and the US government-backed bank loan. The proceeds from the IPO were used to repay the outstanding principal balance of our revolving credit facility of $98 million, which remains in place as a source of additional liquidity if required, and to pay the redemption price of outstanding redeemable preferred shares, with the remainder to be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs. See Note 12, Debt, and Note 15, Redeemable Preferred Shares, for additional information.
We believe that the completed working capital events, our projected cash flows and the actions available to management to further control expenditure, as necessary, provide the Company with sufficient working capital (including cash and cash equivalents) to achieve its plans to recover from the impact of the pandemic, subject to the following key factors:
the continued re-opening of Houses in a manner that is compliant with local laws and regulations, including the relaxing of mandatory capacity constraints, as well as anticipated demand;
the level of in-House sales activity (primarily sales of food and beverage) that, even after opening, may be subject to reduced capacity as a result of any on-going restrictions;
the continued high level of membership retention and renewals (which has been evidenced throughout the pandemic); and
the implementation of cost reduction measures that aligned with the anticipated levels of capacity.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
While the impact of lockdowns and other restrictions may re-occur beyond current expectations and impact the Company’s ability to keep open Houses and return to a level of operation consistent with pre COVID-19 within the timeframes assumed in management’s detailed cash flow forecasts, we believe that the Company has sufficient financial resources together with an established and cash generative business model, and access to capital.
Based on the available cash as a result of completed financing events discussed above, and the measures that have been put in place to control costs, we believe that the Company is able to continue in operational existence, meet its liabilities as they fall due, operate within its existing facilities, and meet all of its covenant requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued.
Based on the above, the condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021.
Direct and incremental legal and accounting costs associated with the Company’s initial public offering totaling $40 million have been deferred and recorded as a reduction of offering proceeds within additional paid-in capital in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 3, 2021. In addition, during the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, the Company incurred $8 million and $15 million, respectively, of costs related to the offering which were recognized in other in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in US GAAP. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected to early adopt the ASU on January 4, 2021. The provisions of this ASU have been applied on a modified retrospective basis and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Cipura Acquisition
Prior to May 2021, the Company held a 50% interest in Soho House—Cipura (Miami), LLC (“Cipura”), which owns and operates the Mandolin Aegean Bistro, located in Miami, Florida. Historically, the Company accounted for its investment in Cipura using the equity method of accounting. On May 10, 2021, the Company acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in Cipura in exchange for issuing 644,828 C2 ordinary shares of SHHL with an aggregate fair value of $9 million (the “Cipura Acquisition”). The fair value of the C2 ordinary shares was derived by using an implied valuation of $13.49 per share which was supported by recent third-party capital raising transactions that occurred during 2021. In connection with the Cipura Acquisition, the Company derecognized its previous 50% ownership interest in Cipura, which was remeasured to fair value; as a result, the Company recognized a gain of $7 million, which is included in gain (loss) on sale of property and other, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021. The fair value of the Company’s previously held interest was determined based upon the purchase consideration for the remaining 50% ownership interest.
The Cipura Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. As a result, the Company recognized less than $1 million of cash and cash equivalents, less than $1 million of net working capital liabilities, $1 million of property and equipment, $3 million of intangible assets (consisting of an indefinite-lived trade name), less than $1 million of deferred tax liabilities, and $4 million of right-of-use assets and $5 million of related lease liabilities. In addition, prior to the acquisition, the Company funded certain costs on behalf of Cipura and therefore recorded a balance due from Cipura of $2 million as of the acquisition date. Upon consolidating Cipura on May 10, 2021, the Company’s receivable balance was effectively settled as a pre-existing relationship, with a corresponding increase in the amount of goodwill recognized from the transaction.
As a result of the acquisition, the Company recognized goodwill of $17 million, which represents intellectual capital, know-how for potential future openings and undertakings, and economic benefits that the Company expects to derive from the ability to expand the Mandolin Aegean Bistro brand that do not qualify for separate recognition. The entire value of goodwill has been allocated to a separate reporting unit in our North America segment which did not have any goodwill prior to the Cipura Acquisition. The recognized goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. During the 13 weeks ended October 3, 2021, the Company recorded adjustments to certain previous preliminary estimated fair values which resulted in recognition of an additional

operating lease right-of-use asset and associated lease liability of $1 million, a less than $1 million increase in intangible assets, a less than $1 million increase in deferred tax liabilities, and a less than $1 million reduction in goodwill.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Cipura from May 10, 2021 through October 3, 2021, however such results are considered immaterial to the overall operations of the Company. The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 also include less than $1 million in acquisition related costs, which were expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expense.
Mandolin Acquisition
On May 10, 2021, the Company acquired the intellectual property rights for Mr. Mandolin and Mrs. Mandolin (the “Mandolin IP”) in exchange for issuing 92,647 C2 ordinary shares of SHHL with an aggregate fair value of $1 million (the “Mandolin Acquisition”). The fair value of the C2 ordinary shares was derived by using an implied valuation of $13.49, as described above. The Mandolin Acquisition was accounted for as an asset purchase, and the Mandolin IP has been recorded in other intangible assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 3, 2021.
Soho Works Acquisition
On May 10, 2021, the Company issued 3,984,883 C2 ordinary shares of SHHL with an aggregate fair value of $54 million to SW SPV, LLC (the “SW Seller”) in order to acquire the SW Seller’s 30% equity ownership interest in Soho Works North America, LLC (the “Soho Works Acquisition”). The fair value of the C2 ordinary shares was derived by using an implied valuation of $13.49 per share, as described above. Prior to the Soho Works Acquisition, the Company held a controlling interest in and therefore consolidated Soho Works North America, LLC. The Soho Works Acquisition was accounted for as a transaction with a noncontrolling interest holder that did not result in a loss of control. The Company derecognized noncontrolling interest of $33 million and recorded the difference between the fair value of consideration transferred to the SW Seller of $54 million and the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest as a reduction in additional paid-in capital (i.e. a deemed distribution in the absence of retained earnings). Following the Soho Works Acquisition, the Company became the sole equity owner of Soho Works North America, LLC.
Scorpios Noncontrolling Interests Acquisitions
On April 30, 2021, the Company acquired an additional 12% equity interest from various noncontrolling interest holders of Paraga Beach S.A. for cash consideration of $9 million. Paraga Beach S.A owns and operates the Scorpios Beach Club. On May 12, 2021, the Company issued 572,410 C2 ordinary shares of SHHL with an aggregate fair value of $8 million to Seligny Holdings Limited and Jaquelle Limited in order to acquire an additional 11% equity interest in Paraga Beach S.A (collectively, the “Scorpios Noncontrolling Interests Acquisitions”). The fair value of the C2 ordinary shares was derived by using an implied valuation of $13.49 per share, as described above. Prior to the Scorpios Noncontrolling Interests Acquisitions, the Company held a controlling interest in and therefore consolidated Paraga Beach S.A. Therefore, the Scorpios Noncontrolling Interests Acquisitions were accounted for as transactions with noncontrolling interest holders that did not result in a loss of control. In total, the Company derecognized noncontrolling interest of $16 million and recorded the difference between the fair value of consideration transferred to the noncontrolling interest holders and the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest as a reduction in additional paid-in capital. Following the Scorpios Noncontrolling Interests Acquisitions, Seligny Holdings Limited and Jaquelle Limited continue to hold a 10% ownership interest in Paraga Beach S.A.
Line and Saguaro Acquisition
On June 22, 2021 the Company entered into a membership interests purchase agreement with Sydell Group LLC (“Sydell”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares in the companies that together operate existing and future “The Line” and “Saguaro” hotels in the United States (the “Line and Saguaro Acquisition”). The hotels that are currently operational are located in Los Angeles, Washington DC, Austin, Scottsdale and Palm Springs, and between them offer a variety of food and beverage offerings together with approximately 1,470 hotel rooms. An additional hotel is under development in San Francisco. The Company issued 1,900,599 C2 ordinary shares of SHHL with an aggregate fair value of $26 million as consideration for the Line and Saguaro Acquisition. The fair value of the C2 ordinary shares was derived by using an implied valuation of $13.49 per share, as described above.
The Line and Saguaro Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The only acquired identifiable assets are related to the hotel management agreements intangible asset, which has a total fair value of $24 million and an estimated useful life of 15 years. The Company did not acquire any other assets or assume any other liabilities.
As a result of the Line and Saguaro Acquisition, the Company recognized $2 million of goodwill, which represents the fair value of the assembled workforce that is not separately recognized from goodwill and the economic benefits that the Company expects to derive from the ability to expand the hotel management agreements that do not qualify for separate recognition. In addition, the goodwill relates to the synergies expected to be gained from the affiliation of the Line hotels with the Soho House brand name. The entire value of goodwill has been allocated to a separate reporting unit in our North America segment which did not have any goodwill prior to the Line and Saguaro Acquisition. The recognized goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of the acquired business from June 22, 2021 through October 3, 2021, however such results are considered immaterial to the overall operations of the Company. The condensed consolidated statements of operations for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 also include less than $1 million in acquisition related costs, which were expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expense.

4.Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the following material variable interest entities (“VIEs”): Soho Restaurants Limited (13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 and 13 weeks ended September 27, 2020 only); Soho House-Sydell, LLP (all periods presented); Soho Works Limited (all periods presented); and Soho Works North America, LLC (all periods presented).
Soho Restaurants Limited
Soho Restaurants Limited (“Soho Restaurants”) is a casual fast-dining business that operates various restaurants throughout the UK. Prior to the August 2020 reorganization of Soho Restaurants (as further described below), the Company provided unsecured non-interest bearing loan notes (“Soho Restaurants Loan Notes”) to Soho Restaurants from time to time and guaranteed the obligations of Soho Restaurants under certain property leases with respect to any required rental and other payments. Prior to the year ended January 3, 2021, the Company did not have to make any payments under these rental guarantees and determined that the likelihood of the Company having to perform under the guarantees was remote. As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Soho Restaurants’ operations, the Company reassessed the likelihood of performance under the guarantees and recognized a charge of $5 million during the second fiscal quarter of 2020; this guarantee provision is included in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the 39 weeks ended September 27, 2020.
On August 18, 2020, Soho Restaurants underwent a series of reorganization steps, through which Quentin Partners Limited (“Quentin Partners”), an affiliate of the Company, became the sole equity holder of Soho Restaurants Limited. As part of these reorganization steps, various notes payable and receivable held by Soho Restaurants were acquired, settled, or, in some cases, forgiven. Specifically, Quentin Partners acquired for nominal consideration (and forgave) all outstanding Soho Restaurants Loan Notes with the exception of a £1 million ($1 million) Loan Note, which remains outstanding after the reorganization was completed. As a result of the reorganization and the Company’s variable interest in Soho Restaurants (consisting primarily of the Loan Note and certain lease guarantees), the Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Soho Restaurants due to its related party affiliation with Quentin Partners and its funding of the majority of Soho Restaurants’ operations. As such, the Company began consolidating Soho Restaurants on August 18, 2020.
The Soho Restaurants reorganization transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Upon initial consolidation, the Company recognized $1 million of cash and cash equivalents, $5 million of net working capital liabilities, and $11 million of right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities. In addition, the Company recognized noncontrolling interest of $2 million.
Soho House-Sydell, LLP
The Soho House-Sydell, LLP joint venture maintains a management agreement to operate The Ned, which is owned by unconsolidated related parties to the Company. Management fees are recognized in other revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Soho Works Limited and Soho Works North America, LLC
The Soho Works Limited (“SWL”) joint venture develops and operates Soho-branded, membership-based co-working spaces, with two sites currently in operation in the UK. Soho Works North America, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“SWNA”) plans to develop and operate Soho-branded, membership-based co-working spaces in North America. Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions for additional information regarding the Soho Works Acquisition.
The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and classification of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The obligations of the consolidated VIEs other than Soho Restaurants Limited are non-recourse to the Company, and the assets of the VIEs can be used only to settle those obligations.

5.Equity Method Investments
The Company maintains a portfolio of equity method investments owned through noncontrolling interests in investments with one or more partners. There have been no changes in the Company’s equity method investment ownership interests in existing entities (other than the Cipura Acquisition, as described in Note 3, Acquisitions) and 0 new equity method investments since January 3, 2021. Under applicable guidance for VIEs, the Company determined that its investments in Soho House Toronto Partnership (“Soho House Toronto”) and the entities comprising 56-60 Redchurch Street, London are VIEs. Soho House Toronto owns and operates a House located in Toronto, while 56-60 Redchurch Street, London provides additional members’ accommodation capacity for Shoreditch House in London. Prior to June 2020, the Company’s investment in the entities comprising Soho House Barcelona were also considered to be VIEs, as described further below.
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.
Barcelona Joint Venture
On January 28, 2014, the Company and an unrelated development partner (“Barcelona Partner”) formed Mimea XXI, S.L.U. (“Mimea”) to establish and operate Soho House Barcelona in Barcelona, Spain. Soho House Barcelona is owned by Mirador Barcel S.L., a subsidiary of Mimea. On June 4, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to operate Little Beach House Barcelona, a private members club and hotel developed at the existing Barcelona property. Little Beach House Barcelona is a newly formed subsidiary under Mimea.
56-60 Redchurch Street, London Joint Venture

Membership Collective Group Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
On July 6, 2015, the Company and an unrelated 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 presented, as its joint venture partners have the power to participate in making decisions related to the majority of significant activities of each investee. Accordingly, the Company concluded that application of the equity method of accounting is appropriate for these investees. Barcelona was previously determined to be a VIE; however, the execution of amended governing documents in June 2020 constitutes a reconsideration event and Barcelona no longer meets the VIE criteria.

The Company’s equity method investees have not yet adopted ASC 842, Leases; therefore, the balance sheets of equity method investees do not include operating right-of-use assets and liabilities.
The Company has entered into various lease agreements for its Houses, hotels, restaurants, spas and other properties across North America, Europe, and Asia. The Company’s material leases have reasonably assured lease terms ranging from 1 year to 30 years for operating leases and 50 years for finance leases. Certain operating leases provide the Company with multiple renewal options that generally range from 5 years to 10 years, with rent payments on renewal based on a predetermined annual increase or market rates at the time of exercise of the renewal. The Company has 2 material finance leases with 25-year renewal options, with rent payments on renewal based on upward changes in inflation rates. As of October 3, 2021, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for 100 operating leases and 2 finance leases. As of January 3, 2021, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for 83 operating leases and 2 finance leases. When recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the Company includes certain renewal options where the Company is reasonably assured to exercise the renewal option.
As part of our overall plan to improve liquidity during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company negotiated with certain lessors to defer or waive certain rent payments on leased buildings. Cash payment deferrals and waivers have been separately recorded in the period arrangements occurred, and therefore, there have been no remeasurements to the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets associated with the sites that received concessions. The Company accounted for the deferrals of lease payments as if there are no changes in the lease contract. Deferred amounts have been recognized in accounts payable and subsequent reversals will occur once the payments are made. As of October 3, 2021 and January 3, 2021, $14 million and $20 million, respectively, was recorded in accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets related to deferred lease payments.

As of October 3, 2021, the Company has entered into 9 operating lease agreements for 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. For certain of these leases, the Soho House Design team is acting as the construction manager on behalf of the landlord. 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 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2026.

Recurring and Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements
There were 0 assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of October 3, 2021. There were 0 assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of January 3, 2021 with the exception of Little House Mayfair Apartments for which the Company recognized an impairment loss during the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021.
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 believes that the carrying value of the Senior Secured Notes (excluding debt issuance costs of $11 million as of October 3, 2021) closely approximates the fair value of such notes, given the proximity of the initial issuance of the Senior Secured Notes to the period-end date and the stability of the Company’s credit profile since the date of issuance.
With respect to the fair value of the Permira Senior Facility as of January 3, 2021, the Company does not believe that its financial performance or creditworthiness changed significantly since the inception of the facility, which was issued at par with a floating interest rate of LIBOR (subject to a floor of 1%) + 7%. Given the nature of this floating rate obligation and the stability of the Company’s creditworthiness, the carrying value (excluding debt issuance costs of $5 million as of January 3, 2021) closely approximated the Permira obligation’s fair value prior to the repayment of the Permira Senior Facility in March 2021.

14.Share-Based Compensation
In August 2020, the Company established the 2020 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) under which Share Appreciation Rights (”SARs”) and Growth Shares were issued to certain of its employees.

In July 2021, the Company established its 2021 Equity and Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan"). The 2021 Plan allows for grants of nonqualified stock options, SARs, and restricted stock units ("RSUs"), or performance awards. There were 12,055,337 shares initially available for all awards under the 2021 Plan and the shares available will increase annually on the first day of each calendar year, beginning with the calendar year ending December 31, 2022.
On July 19, 2021, the Company granted 2,115,890 RSUs to employees and Board members under the 2021 Plan, with a grant date fair value of $10.80. The RSUs vest in two equal installments on the second and third anniversaries of the grant date, with the exception of RSUs granted to certain executives, which vest in four equal installments on the first, second, third, and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. As of October 3, 2021, there were 2,115,890 RSUs outstanding under the 2021 Plan.

15.Redeemable Preferred Shares
In May 2016, the Company issued 10,000,000, 7% redeemable preferred shares totalling £10 million ($15 million) to unrelated parties. These shares were redeemable by the holders upon an exit, such as an IPO, or sale of the Company and the cumulative dividends are only paid on redemption. As of January 3, 2021, redemption of the preferred shares was not probable. During the second fiscal quarter of 2021, the Company concluded that the shares were probable of becoming redeemable and, therefore, accreted the shares to their redemption value. The accretion of $5 million during the second fiscal quarter of 2021 is reflected as a reduction in additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated statements of changes in redeemable shares and shareholders’ equity (deficit). In addition, the Company remeasured the redeemable preferred shares and recognized a foreign currency translation loss of less than $1 million and a foreign currency translation gain of $1 million for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, respectively, which is reflected within accumulated deficit on the condensed consolidated statements of changes in redeemable shares and shareholders’ equity (deficit). The Company redeemed these preferred shares for cash totaling $20 million during the 13 weeks ended October 3, 2021.
On March 31, 2021, the Company issued 12,970,766 senior convertible preference shares (the “Senior Preference Shares”) in an aggregate liquidation preference of $175 million, or approximately $13.49 per Senior Preference Share (the “Issuance Price”), to certain funds managed, sponsored or advised by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC or its affiliates (the “Preference Share Investors”). The Company received net proceeds of $162 million and incurred transaction costs of $13 million related to the Senior Preference Shares. The Senior Preference Shares accrue a non-cash dividend of 8% per annum on the investment amount of the Senior Preference Shares plus all previously compounded non-cash dividends. During the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, the Company recognized non-cash preferred dividends of less than $1 million and $4 million as an adjustment to the carrying value of the Senior Preference Shares, with a corresponding reduction in additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated statements of changes in redeemable shares and shareholders’ equity (deficit). In addition, the Company recognized a deemed dividend of $51 million in connection with the conversion of the Senior Preference Shares into Class A common stock, because the conversion was effected at a discount to the public offering price. This deemed dividend is reflected as a reduction in additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated statements of changes in redeemable preferred shares and shareholders' equity (deficit).
On July 19, 2021, all of the outstanding Senior Preference Shares were converted into an aggregate of 15,526,619 shares of Class A common stock of MCG immediately upon the closing of the IPO (as described in Note 1, Nature of the Business).
On August 23, 2019, the Company issued redeemable C ordinary shares to an unrelated third party. On the same date, the new investor purchased A ordinary shares directly from Mr. Nick Jones; these shares were immediately converted into an equal number of redeemable C ordinary shares. On November 4, 2019, the Company issued additional shares to the same investor, resulting in a total of 6,933,004 redeemable C ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of December 29, 2019.
On May 19, 2020, the Company issued an additional 9,502,993 redeemable C ordinary shares to a different unrelated third party for a total subscription price of $100 million, net of discount of $6 million. The Company received net proceeds of $94 million and incurred $1 million of share issuance costs in connection with this issuance.
An investor option was provided in conjunction with the redeemable C ordinary shares issued on May 19, 2020. In March 2021, the investor option was exercised for the full $50 million, net of a discount of $3 million, and the Company issued an additional 4,751,497 redeemable C ordinary shares. The Company received net proceeds of $47 million and did not incur any material share issuance costs in connection with this issuance. As a result, the Company had 21,187,494 redeemable C ordinary shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the IPO. Redemption of these redeemable C ordinary shares was not probable as of any period preceding the IPO.
On December 8, 2020, Mr. Nick Jones sold certain of his A ordinary shares to an unrelated third party and as a condition of the transaction, the A ordinary shares were converted into 1,710,546 C ordinary shares, which did not have any redemption rights and were therefore classified as permanent equity instead of mezzanine equity.
On July 19, 2021, all of the outstanding C ordinary shares were exchanged into an aggregate of 6,592,023 shares of Class A common stock and 10,871,215 shares of Class B common stock of MCG in connection with the Reorganization Transactions (as described in Note 1, Nature of the Business).
17.Loss Per Share and Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit)
Prior to the IPO, SHHL had five classes of ordinary shares: A ordinary shares , B ordinary shares, C ordinary shares (a portion of which had certain redemption rights), C2 ordinary shares and D ordinary shares. Each ordinary shareholder was entitled pari passu to dividend payments or any other

distributions, subject to certain minimum return thresholds being met in the case of B ordinary shares and D ordinary shares. Holders of A ordinary shares and redeemable C ordinary shares were entitled to one vote for each A ordinary share or redeemable C ordinary share held. The B ordinary shares, non-redeemable C ordinary shares, C2 ordinary shares and D ordinary shares did not have any voting rights.
Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, affiliates of The Yucaipa Companies, LLC, and Messrs. Ron Burkle, Nick Jones, and Richard Caring exchanged their A ordinary shares, B ordinary shares, C ordinary shares and D ordinary shares for 141,500,385 shares of Class B common stock of MCG having an equivalent value, while the other ordinary shareholders of SHHL exchanged their equity interests for 14,935,193 shares of Class A common stock of MCG having an equivalent value.
Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of legally available funds on a pari passu basis. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share, while holders of Class B common stock are entitled to 10 votes per share. Each holder of Class B common stock has the right to convert its shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock, at any time, on a one-for-one basis. Additionally, shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock, on a one-for-one basis, upon transfer to any non-permitted holder of Class B common stock. Holders of Class A and Class B common stock are entitled to liquidation distributions on a pro rata basis, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
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.
As discussed in Note 1, Nature of the Business, immediately prior to the IPO, the Company completed certain reorganization transactions which resulted in changes to our common stock and issued and outstanding shares but no change in relative shareholder rights, rank, or value before and after the reorganization transaction. As such, the Reorganization Transactions were considered to have an equivalent effect to a stock split and require retrospective treatment for purposes of computing loss per share. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the Reorganization Transactions for all periods presented. The issuance of shares in the IPO and the impact of the conversion of the Senior Preference Shares into Class A common stock are included in the calculation of loss per share prospectively from the date of issuance or conversion, as the case may be.
The tables below illustrate the reconciliation of the loss and the number of shares used in the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 13 Weeks Ended | | | 39 Weeks Ended | |
(in thousands except share and per share amounts) | | October 3, 2021 | | | September 27, 2020 | | | October 3, 2021 | | | September 27, 2020 | |
Net loss attributable to Membership Collective Group Inc. | | $ | (77,027 | ) | | $ | (36,230 | ) | | $ | (223,493 | ) | | $ | (156,011 | ) |
Less: Cumulative May 2016 preferred shares undeclared dividends | | | (4,778 | ) | | | (4,017 | ) | | | (4,778 | ) | | | (4,017 | ) |
Less: Incremental accretion of May 2016 preferred shares to redemption value | | | (1,085 | ) | | | 0 | | | | (1,085 | ) | | | 0 | |
Add: Foreign currency remeasurement of redeemable preferred shares | | | (242 | ) | | | 0 | | | | 666 | | | | 0 | |

Less: Preferred shares deemed dividend upon conversion | | | (51,469 | ) | | | 0 | | | | (51,469 | ) | | | 0 | |
Adjusted net loss attributable to Class A and Class B common stockholders | | $ | (138,936 | ) | | $ | (40,247 | ) | | $ | (284,494 | ) | | $ | (160,028 | ) |
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted loss per share for Class A and Class B common stockholders | | | 194,015,595 | | | | 145,269,523 | | | | 164,208,521 | | | | 140,685,466 | |
Basic and diluted loss per share | | $ | (0.72 | ) | | $ | (0.28 | ) | | $ | (1.73 | ) | | $ | (1.14 | ) |
The net loss attributable to the Company in calculating basic and diluted loss per share for all periods presented is adjusted for cumulative undeclared dividends on the May 2016 preferred shares. In addition, the net loss attributable to the Company in calculating basic and diluted loss per share for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 is adjusted for non-cash dividends on the Senior Preference Shares and the impact of the deemed dividend to the holders of Senior Preference Shares upon their conversion into MCG Class A common stock.
The loss per share calculations for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 27, 2020 exclude additional shares that would be issuable to the holders of SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares in the event of a public listing that resulted in the value of the SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares being less than the investor’s initial subscription price, because the impact of including such additional shares would be anti-dilutive. In addition, the loss per share calculation for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 and September 27, 2020 exclude the impact of unvested Growth Shares (which were exchanged into restricted stock awards in connection with the IPO) because the inclusion of such shares in diluted loss per share would be anti-dilutive.
18.Commitments and Contingencies
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 condensed consolidated financial statements.
Commitments and Contingencies
In connection with the closure of Houses across the world beginning on March 14, 2020, the Company in its discretion issued membership credits to members to be redeemed for certain Soho House products and services. Membership credits were issued as a one-time goodwill gesture deemed to be a marketing offer to members, and were initially set to expire on December 31, 2020. The liability associated with the membership credits is derecognized based on the usage of credits and the cost of the inventory or services to fulfill the Company’s obligation to its members; this liability is classified within other current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. In March 2021, the Company decided in its discretion to further extend the expiration date to September 30, 2021. The Company simultaneously adjusted its obligation based on its best estimate of the cost to be incurred. The redemption rate used to estimate the obligation associated with the membership credits was based on the Company’s cumulative experience to-date. An estimated liability of $12 million was accrued as of January 3, 2021. There are associated marketing expenses of $1 million and zero during the 13 weeks ended October 3, 2021 and September 27, 2020, respectively, and $5 million and $6 million during the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 and September

27, 2020, respectively, which are included within other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The expense recognized during the 13 weeks ended October 3, 2021 is net of $4 million recorded upon expiration of the vast majority of credits on September 30, 2021.
Capital Commitments
As of October 3, 2021, capital expenditure commitments contracted for but not yet incurred total $2 million and are related primarily to construction and site improvement costs for Soho House Austin. As of January 3, 2021, capital expenditure commitments contracted for but not yet incurred total $1 million and are related primarily to Soho House Hong Kong.
For the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, 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 $21 million and $41 million based on the results for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, respectively. As a consequence of the IPO, the Company anticipates that tax deductions will be available in certain jurisdictions in connection with share-based compensation and a deferred tax asset has therefore been recognized. Full valuation allowances have been recorded against the incremental deferred tax assets recognized for tax losses, share-based compensation, and excess interest. The level of unrecognized tax benefits has remained unchanged in the 13 weeks ended October 3, 2021 and has increased by $3 million in the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021. There is no impact on the Company’s effective tax rate for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 as there is a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance applied for the period.
The effective tax rate for the 13 weeks ended October 3, 2021 was (3.91)%, compared to 0.43% for the 13 weeks ended September 27, 2020. The effective tax rate for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 was (0.91)%, compared to 0.34% for the 39 weeks ended September 27, 2020. The effective income tax rate for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 and the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 27, 2020 differs from the UK statutory rate of 19% primarily due to a full valuation allowance being recorded against the tax losses and other deferred tax assets generated in the periods ended October 3, 2021 and September 27, 2020.

The Company’s core operations comprise of Houses and restaurants across a number of territories, which are managed on a geographical basis. 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, Home & Beauty operating segment. The Company also provides build-out and design services, which comprise its Soho House Design operating segment.
The Company has identified the following four reportable segments:
The Company analyzed the results of the Retail, Home & Beauty and Soho Works 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.
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, and share-based compensation expense.
The following tables present disaggregated revenue for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 and September 27, 2020 and the key financial metrics reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for the Company’s reportable segments:

First Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement
On November 15, 2021, Soho House Bond Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into the First Amended and Restated Revolving Facility Agreement (the "First Amendment"), which amends and restates in its entirety the existing £75.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, dated December 5, 2019, among HSBC Bank PLC and SHG Acquisition (UK) Limited and Soho House U.S. Corp., two of the Company's wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries, as borrowers.
The First Amendment amends the Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, change the reference rate under the Revolving Credit Facility for borrowings denominated in pounds sterling from a LIBOR-based rate to a SONIA-based rate and to transition reporting from accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Overview
Our Membership Platform
The Membership Collective Group (“MCG”) 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 MCG platform to both work and socialize, to connect, create, have fun and drive a positive change.
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 26 years, we have expanded our membership expertise and diversified our offerings—both physically and digitally. As of October 3, 2021, we have over 144,500 members (including over 117,700 Soho House members) who engage with MCG through our global portfolio of 32 Soho Houses, 9 Soho Works, The Ned in London, Scorpios Beach Club in Mykonos, Soho Home, our interiors and lifestyle retail brand, and our digital channels.
The central pillar of MCG is Soho House, which drives the majority of our membership and revenue today. Since the opening of our first House in the Soho district of London in 1995, we have successfully identified the demand for a premium membership offering that caters to a progressive, creative and diverse global audience. Today, we believe our membership offering, consistently high standards of service, and our global footprint remain unparalleled. 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 SH.APP and our website. Our vision for the SH.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 and payments, to connect with each other and access video content and podcasts — made for our members, by our members. Annually, we host thousands of physical and digital 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 Membership Collective Group, a home to numerous memberships including Cities Without Houses, Soho Works, Soho Friends, Soho House Digital, SOHO HOME+ and Ned’s Club. By designing, curating and growing our membership offering, our membership platform can quickly and easily 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 26-year history and is built on the following pillars:
Membership: We are in the business of forging connections and bringing people together. Our diverse global membership is the soul of our company. It is the people that define our culture and shape the experience – in turn attracting new members.
Physical and digital spaces: We create and operate interconnected spaces. Each of our physical locations is designed to reflect our members and the local community that they serve. Our digital platforms extend our connection with members beyond our physical spaces, in turn significantly enhancing the member experience.
Design: Our design DNA is instantly recognizable across all of our membership models, whether in our Houses, Soho Works, The Ned, Scorpios Beach Club or Soho Home. While each House is unique, they each have a consistency in their architectural and interior style that has come to define the Soho House experience. In each new House or site that we develop for our other brands, this style is interpreted for local tastes and preferences, reflecting the culture of the respective city.
Services, products and experiences: Our member-obsessed culture drives us to relentlessly improve the quality of the services, products and experiences we offer to our members. We do not cut corners or compromise on quality, taking the long-term view that there is no substitute for the highest quality services, products and experiences when it comes to fostering loyalty from our members.
37
Innovation: We have always strived to adapt and evolve by anticipating our members’ needs and wants. Innovation has always been part of our culture and approach, and we have used that mindset to create new memberships to serve a wider audience of people who desire personal connection via new channels.
House Foundations: We are committed to integrating the pillars of our social responsibility and sustainability program, House Foundations, into everything we do.
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 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 MCG global wait list, which as of October 3, 2021 stands at over 66,700 applicants. 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.
For the 13 weeks ended October 3, 2021, of our $180 million in revenue, $51 million (28%) was attributable to Membership Revenues, $67 million (37%) to In-House Revenues, and $62 million (34%) to Other Revenues. For the 13 weeks ended September 27, 2020, of our $114 million in revenue, $42 million (37%) was attributable to Membership Revenues, $30 million (26%) to In-House Revenues, and $42 million (37%) to Other Revenues.
For the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, of our $376 million in revenue, $137 million (36%) was attributable to Membership Revenues, $129 million (34%) to In-House Revenues, and $111 million (30%) to Other Revenues. For the 39 weeks ended September 27, 2020, of our $313 million in revenue, $135 million (43%) was attributable to Membership Revenues, $101 million (32%) to In-House Revenues, and $77 million (25%) to Other Revenues.
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 standalone restaurants, design and procurement fees from Soho House Design 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 current US Every House annual membership fee of approximately $3,400 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” (21 years old and younger) and “Millennials”(22- to 37-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 revenues.
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
38
intelligence for future growth, which we have employed to open new Houses in certain locations, including in Austin, Texas, which partially open in June 2021, and Paris, which is expected to open in the second half of 2021. We currently have more than 4,300 CWH members across 45 cities.
Soho House Digital Membership
The ambition for Soho House has always been to create a truly global membership that brings creative people together, from all over the world. We believe that we will be able to achieve this through the introduction of Soho House Digital Membership—a new, paid digital-only membership that we are now actively working on. Not limited by our physical footprint, Soho House Digital Membership will expand our global reach, allowing us to move further into Asia, Africa and South America, adding fascinating creatives from dynamic cities to our membership.
Soho House Digital Membership will be subject to the same application and approval process as Soho House membership, allowing like-minded individuals to connect, communicate and collaborate with each other, in a purely digital space through the SH.APP. It will make our membership truly diverse, and will enable the best creatives from all over the world to make meaningful connections with each other. In the same way that we’ve grown Cities Without Houses membership in 45 cities around the world, we will use our connections and liaisons on the ground in new cities to build awareness of digital membership, growing it organically through existing creative communities.
By leveraging our digital platforms in this way, and removing the reliance on physical spaces to experience the benefits of our membership, we have created a gateway to previously untapped growth opportunities. We believe this new membership type will be attractive to potential members who are already used to socializing, networking and working digitally. Existing Soho House members will also receive the full functionalities of the Soho House Digital Membership, and therefore, the introduction of the Soho House Digital Membership only serves to improve the richness of their membership experience, making it more valuable – with new opportunities to connect with and consume content from a truly global and diverse membership base.
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 £100. We offer access to physical spaces, including Soho House bedrooms, and Soho Studios (our new social spaces for Soho Friends and Soho House members) that host curated programs of events 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 October 3, 2021, we had 17,890 Soho Friends members. We 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 constant 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 through ecommerce. Over the past year, we have transformed Soho Home into a high growth retail business, and in October 2020, we launched SOHO HOME+, which is a subscription-based membership platform with 4,380 members as of October 3, 2021, that offers price discounts, free delivery, and expert design advice plus early access to new collections and seasonal sales for an annual price of £60.
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 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 October 3, 2021, we had 4,497 members. Soho Works membership rates vary by location and Soho House membership status. For Soho House members, a US Soho Works membership ranges from $100—$650 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 at the end of 2022. While we do not currently offer a standalone membership, there is significant interest from our customers to do so and we therefore plan to launch a unique Scorpios membership in 2022.
The Ned
The Ned has created a new space in the heart of the City of London for its members to meet, eat, drink and socialize. 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’
39
club. The membership offered by The Ned (“Ned’s Club”) is aimed at a broader group of professional people. As of October 3, 2021, Ned’s Club had just over 2,700 members, and intends to expand into additional cities beyond London. We have recently launched Ned Friends – a more accessible membership similar to Soho Friend for frequent visitors and customers of The Ned. We receive management fees under our hotel management contract for the operation of The Ned.
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, Scottsdale and Palm Springs, and among them offer a variety of food and beverage offerings together with approximately 1,470 hotel rooms. A further hotel is under development in San Francisco. We receive management fees under our hotel management contract for the operation of these hotels. We believe the transaction will broaden our geographic reach in North America. Refer to Item 1 Financial Statements Note 3 Acquisitions for further information.
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:
The ability to grow our member base. Long-term member growth is a direct driver of Membership Revenue growth and an important factor in In-House Revenue growth. The impact of long-term member growth on Membership Revenues can be particularly impactful to our earnings given the lower direct expenses associated with incremental Membership Revenues relative to our other revenue streams.
Our ability to grow In-House Revenues. In addition to their annual membership fee, our members pay for goods and services that they consume, which we refer to as In-House Revenues. We continue to actively develop the offerings in our Soho Houses and our other membership brands to improve overall experience and capture greater spend on food and beverage, accommodation, spa services, private events and our other goods and services. We believe that the pricing of our In-House offerings, which is reflective of the membership fees we receive from members who consume most of our In-House offerings, represents great value to our members for the level of quality provided, reinforcing the overall membership experience, rewarding brand loyalty and creating the opportunity for future revenue enhancement. Our proven ability to drive long-term member growth at existing Houses is also an important contributing factor in sustaining In-House Revenue growth.
Our ability to adjust membership pricing. As we expand our number of Soho Houses globally and continue to invest in maintaining the quality of our existing Soho Houses, we are able to grow Membership Revenue by periodically reviewing our membership fee rates, as well as migrating members from Local House to Every House membership, which also has the effect of increasing Membership Revenues and offering new membership brands to join. Contrary to traditional hospitality companies which may experience brand dilution as they expand, the value of our membership and brand strengthens as we expand into new cities and properties and new membership brands. As we expand globally, the value of an Every House membership becomes more compelling to both new and existing members, enhancing our revenue potential. Historically, our membership price increases have not had a material impact on our retention rates and we believe this provides a strong indication of demand and price inelasticity for our memberships.
Our ability to grow our membership brands and products. We believe the strength of our brand and our culture of creativity and innovation will allow us to continue to capitalize on opportunities in complementary concepts and product lines and that our adjacent lines of business can achieve substantial stand-alone scale. Our expansion into new products and businesses can contribute meaningfully to our revenue in the future as we tap into our existing and growing membership base.
Reportable Segments
Our operations consist of four reportable segments (United Kingdom, North America, Europe and Rest of the World (“ROW”), Soho House Design) 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 20 - 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 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.
40
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 in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) and Non-House Membership Revenues (as defined below). House Membership Revenues and Non-House Membership Revenue 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 in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
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 revenue, Soho Friends membership revenue and SOHO HOME+ membership revenue.
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.
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 dollar change and the percentage 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.

Membership Revenues were $51,162 for the third quarter 2021 compared to $42,351 for the third quarter 2020, an increase of $8,811, or 21%. This increase was predominantly driven by an increase in Adult paying Soho House members at our fully consolidated Houses to 90,525 members from 83,679 in the third quarter 2020. The higher number of members was the result of the recommencement of membership intakes at existing Houses in the third quarter, the continued unfreezing of memberships as well as membership from new Houses openings. There was also an increase in Non-House Membership revenue, following the growth in the number of Soho Friends, Soho Works and Soho HOME+ members, with 25,384 additional members added during the quarter. We also saw strong demand for memberships with the wait list growing to 66,700 as the rate of applications outpaces the number of membership intakes.
Our North America segment saw Membership Revenues of $24,168, which increased from the prior year due to an increase of 2,544 Adult paying members. The UK saw an increase of 9% in Membership Revenues to $16,102, due to an increase of 3,428 Soho House Adult Paying Members. Europe/ROW increased Membership Revenues by $220, or 5%, to $4,618 due to an increase in Soho House Adult Paying Members, with 1,199 more members compared the third quarter 2020.
Our Other segment saw an increase in Membership Revenues to $6,274, driven by the increase in our Non-House Memberships.
In constant currency, Membership Revenues would have increased by $5,996, or 13%.

In-House Revenues were $66,859 for the third quarter 2021, compared to $30,162 for the third quarter 2020, an increase of $36,697. The increase was driven by the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the removal of many social distancing restrictions. The UK continued to show the strongest momentum, followed by North America, with a notable acceleration of demand across all Houses in September. The group occupancy rate of 67% and the increase in the average daily room rate by 35% reflects the pent-up demand of our members to travel.
In North America In-House Revenues increased by $19,308 to $26,455. Our New York properties saw a recovery throughout the quarter, notwithstanding the introduction of mask and vaccine mandates in September. Our West Coast properties also saw an improving rate of weekly sales through the quarter, benefiting from the vaccine rollout across North America.
In the UK, our Houses maintained their strong momentum from the second quarter with In-House Revenue increasing to $30,389. Countryside properties, including Soho Farmhouse and Babington House, continued to see high occupancy levels, while we also saw a strong recovery of London properties in the quarter.
44
Our Europe/ROW Soho Houses generated $10,015 of In-House Revenues, an increase of $2,452 or 32% compared to $7,563 for the third quarter 2020. This is predominantly driven by gradual easing for COVID-19 restrictions across Europe in the quarter, although international travel restrictions continued to have an adverse impact on occupancy rates and footfall in the region.
In constant currency, In-House Revenues would have increased by $34,692.

Other Revenues were $61,538 for the third quarter 2021 compared to $41,666 for the third quarter 2020, an increase of $19,872. In North America, public restaurants continued to recover period-on-period, and we also benefited from the acquisition of the remaining 50% share of the Mandolin restaurant in Miami. The North America segment also includes the contribution from our hotel management contracts for the Line and Saguaro Hotels, which saw a strong recovery in their accommodation business, driven by higher room rates and an increase in hotel occupancy during the quarter. UK Other Revenues of $11,621 increased due to the recovery of UK public restaurants, including the impact of Soho Restaurants. In Europe, revenues increased by $11,709 to $17,828 driven by Scorpios Beach club in Mykonos. Although the site was still impacted by local restrictions in the quarter, these restrictions had a lesser impact compared to the same period in 2020.
Our Other segment increased Other Revenues by $4,914, or 60%, predominantly driven by the continued strength in Soho Home, with online sales up 116% and average order value up 129% in the quarter, with 95% sales at full price. We opened Soho Home Studio in London, a 6,000 square foot retail space showcasing both our latest Home range as well as brands launched and owned by members. In constant currency, Other Revenues had an increase of $17,102.

In-House Operating Expenses were $89,340 for the third quarter 2021, compared to $45,432 for the third quarter 2020, an increase of $43,908. The increase is largely the result the easing of social distancing measures across many of our sites versus the prior period. In the third quarter of 2020, there was also a one-off credit of $10.5m related to Covid-19 lease amendments.
Our efficiency programs continue to progress well, notwithstanding the inflationary pressures that the industry is facing. We proactively increased wage rates to attract and retain the best labor, and as a result the tight labor market has so far had a limited operational impact on our business. We also gradually increased food, beverage and accommodation prices to partly offset the inflation pressures such that food and beverage cost ratios were still 3% better than the third quarter 2020.
House-Level Contribution, which is defined as House Revenues less In-House Operating Expenses, was $23,950 for the third quarter 2021, compared to $26,647 for the third quarter 2020, a decrease of $2,697 or 10%. The decrease in House-Level Contribution relates to the impact of the one-off credit in the third quarter of 2020.
House-Level Contribution Margin decreased by 16% to 21% for the third quarter 2021 reflecting the impact of the credit as well as the impact from higher In-House expenses period-on-period.

Other Operating Expenses were $54,379 for the third quarter 2021, compared with $45,078 for the third quarter 2020, an increase of $9,301. This increase was driven by the ongoing recovery in our public restaurants, Soho Works sites and Scorpios Beach Club, in addition to some inflationary pressures on salaries and wages at our sites. Furthermore, the increase was driven by higher sales volumes in our Soho Home business.
Other Contribution, which we define as Other Revenues plus Non-House Membership Revenue less Other Operating Expenses, was $11,890 for the third quarter 2021 compared to $2,978 loss for the third quarter 2020, an improvement of $14,868. The improvement was predominantly driven by the growth in Other Revenues across the majority of our businesses. In constant currency, Other Contribution would have increased by $15,066.
Other Contribution Margin was 18% for the third quarter 2021, an increase of 25% compared to the third quarter 2020. The margin improvement was partly driven by an increase in Non-House Membership Revenues in third quarter 2021 in comparison to third quarter 2020, which has a high flow-through to Other Contribution. Additionally, the increase in Other Revenues was greater than the increase in Other Operating Expenses in third quarter 2021 in comparison to third quarter 2020, due to cost management and operational leverage in each of the businesses.

General and Administrative Expenses were $24,369 for the third quarter 2021, compared with $17,336 for the third quarter 2020, an increase of $7,033, or 41%. The increase was primarily driven by costs to support the increase in operations at our sites, as compared to the third quarter 2020 when most of our sites were operating under capacity and trading restrictions. These costs were partially offset by our ongoing cost savings program, including savings in costs related to our variable cost base. In constant currency, General and Administrative Expenses would have an increase of $5,881, or 32%.

Pre-opening expenses were $4,672 for the third quarter 2021, largely driven by the opening of two Soho Houses in Tel Aviv and Paris in the quarter, in addition to the costs related to the upcoming opening of Soho House Rome. This was largely in line with the third quarter 2020. In constant currency, pre-opening expenses would have a decrease of $221, or 5%.

Depreciation and Amortization was $21,500 for the third quarter 2021, compared with $15,825 for the third quarter 2020, an increase of $5,675, or 36%. This increase was primarily driven by amortization of capitalized IT development costs, partly related to the development of the SH.APP, as well as depreciation associated with five new Soho Houses that were not open in the third quarter of 2020. In constant currency, Depreciation and Amortization expenses would have increased by $4,623, or 27%.

Share-based compensation expense was $15,281 for the third quarter 2021, compared to $642 for the third quarter 2020, an increase of $14,639. This increase was primarily driven by the acceleration of vesting for certain outstanding awards in connection with the IPO, in accordance with the original award terms, combined with the fact that the third quarter 2020 included shared-based compensation expense only for a portion of the quarter, based on the grant date of the awards.
Foreign exchange loss (gain), net increased by $16,255 to $14,599 for the third quarter 2021, primarily driven by an increase in non-USD denominated borrowings, which have increased since the preceding period, and foreign exchange volatility.
Other expenses were $8,863 for the third quarter 2021, compared with $2,685 for the third quarter 2020, an increase of $6,178. This increase was primarily driven by non-cash member credit expense of $1 million and costs incurred associated with the IPO of $9 million.

Net Interest Expense was $20,827 for the third quarter 2021, compared with $20,680 for the third quarter 2020, an increase of $147 or 1%. In the quarter we paid a $5 million exit fee on the Permira Senior Facility upon completion of the IPO transaction. This was partially offset by the refinance our senior facility in March 2021 and the paydown of out Revolving Credit Facility during the third quarter of 2021. In constant currency, net interest would have decreased by $1,227, or 6%, compared to third quarter 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA of $8,820 increased by $5,154 compared to the Adjusted EBITDA in the comparative period primarily due to the higher membership revenues as a result of membership intakes, higher In-House revenues due to the removal of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by higher Operating and General and Administrative Expenses.

Membership Revenues increased by 1% to $136,518 for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021. This increase was driven by the recommencement of membership intakes at existing Houses in the third quarter of 2021, the unfreezing of memberships during the second and third quarter of 2021 as well as membership from new House openings in 2021. There was also an increase in Non-House Membership revenue, following the increase in the number of Soho Friends, Soho Works and Soho HOME+ members, with 25,000 additional members in comparison to the end of the third quarter 2020.
Our United Kingdom segment saw an increase in Membership Revenues of $3,992 or 10% due to the opening of 180 House, London, membership intakes as well as the highest rate of membership unfreezing across all regions. In contrast the North America segment saw a decrease in revenues of $7,001 or 10% due to fewer Adult paying members at the end of the third quarter of 2021. The Europe segment saw a decrease in membership revenues of $994 or 7% due to a decrease in Adult paying members.
In constant currency, Membership Revenues would have increased by $10,697, or 7%.

In-House Revenues were $128,911 for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, an increase of $27,767, or 27% versus the comparative period in 2020. The increase was driven by an easing of social distancing restrictions, new Soho Houses opened in 2021 as well as select price increases across our In-House offering.

In-House Operating Expenses were $205,579 for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, an increase of $35,484, or 21%. The increase is a result of new Houses and fewer capacity restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 and the associated increase in volumes. In the third quarter of 2020, there was also a one-off credit of $10.5m related to Covid-19 lease amendments.
In the nine months ended October 3, 2021, as a result of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental agencies in the United Kingdom and European Union provided grants primarily to retain on payroll workers that would have otherwise been terminated and were instead furloughed in accordance with the rules of the applicable national scheme. Such government grants, which under their terms meant that the furloughed employees were prohibited by law from providing the Company with services but kept on payroll rather than being terminated to claim unemployment benefits, totaled $14.8 million the nine months ended October 3, 2021, and are presented as a reduction of payroll expenses within In-House Operating Expenses ($11.4 million), Other Operating Expenses ($2.5 million) and General and Administrative Expenses ($0.9 million). Under the rules of the schemes, we applied to the relevant government agency and recovered the costs of furloughed employees. The net payroll expense within In-House Operating Expenses, Other Operating Expenses and General and Administrative Expenses therefore only reflects the costs incurred from staff that were not furloughed and hence provided revenue generating services. In constant currency, In-House Operating Expenses had an increase of $19,486, or 10%.
House-Level Contribution, which is defined as House Revenues less In-House Operating Expenses, was $50,816 for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, compared to $64,039 for the 39 weeks ended September 27, 2020, a decrease of $13,223 or 21%. The decrease in House-Level Contribution partly relates to the impact of the credit in the third quarter 2020.
House-Level Contribution Margin was 20% for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, an decrease of 7% from the comparative period.

Other Operating Expenses were $123,257 for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, compared with $90,768 for the 39 weeks ended September 27, 2020, an increase of $32,489, or 36%. This increase is primarily driven by six additional restaurants in the UK and one in North America, an increase in In-House Design and Build (“IHDB”) costs and the increase in volumes for Soho Home. In addition, Scorpios was re-opened in May 2021 where as it did not open until July 2020 in the prior year. In constant currency, Other Operating Expenses would have an increase of $23,952, or 24%.
Other Contribution, which we define as Other Revenues plus Non-House Membership Revenues less Other Operating Expenses, was a loss of $3,613 for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, compared to a loss of $12,167 for the comparative period, a decrease in the loss of $8,554. This was predominantly driven by higher Non-House Membership Revenues and increased contribution from Public Restaurants, Scorpios and Soho Home..
Other Contribution Margin was (3)% for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, a increase of 12% compared to the prior period driven by margin improvement in our Public Restaurants as well as an improvement in profitability of Soho Home.
Other Contribution Margin improvement in North America was driven by the strong performance of North America restaurants, benefiting from the acquisition of the remaining 50% share of the Mandolin restaurant in the second quarter of 2021 such that we now fully consolidate the restaurant’s financial results.
Other Contribution Margin improvement in Europe/ROW segment was driven by the earlier opening of Scorpios as well as the removal of many social distancing restrictions in comparison to the same period in 2020.

The increase was primarily driven by the increase in wages at support offices as a result of removal of many COVID-19 restrictions and the associated increase in business activity, in addition to the decrease in government support received in the nine months ended October 3, 2021. This was partially offset by our ongoing cost efficiency program to manage support costs. In constant currency, General and Administrative Expenses would have a decrease of $2,190, or 4%.

Share-based compensation expense increased by $19,316 to $19,958 for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, primarily driven by the acceleration of vesting for certain outstanding awards in connection with the IPO, in accordance with the original award terms.
Foreign exchange loss, net increased by $26,883 to $30,521 for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, primarily driven by an increase in non-USD denominated borrowings, which have increased since the preceding period, foreign exchange volatility, and an out of period adjustment as described in Note 2 of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this document.
Other expenses decreased by $5,499 to $22,974 for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, primarily driven by non-cash member credit expense of $5 million and costs incurred associated with the IPO of $17 million.

Net Interest Expense was $67,449 for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, an increase of $11,116, or 20%, on the comparative period in 2020. This increase was primarily driven by the $9 million loss on extinguishment of the Permira Senior Facility, in addition to a $5 million exit fee on the Senior Facility related to the IPO transaction. In constant currency, net interest would have increased $5,818, or 9%.

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 of unsecured or secured credit lines.
Our future development and redevelopment expenditures are expected to be funded via holdings of cash and cash equivalents as well as cash flows provided by operations. However, they may also be funded through unsecured or secured credit facilities, proceeds from the issuance of equity or debt securities, sales of properties or joint ventures.
First Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement
On November 15, 2021, Soho House Bond Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the First Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement (the “First Note Amendment”), which amends and restates in its entirety the existing Notes Purchase Agreement (the “Notes Purchase Agreement”), dated March 23, 2021, for an aggregate of $441 million in senior secured notes (the “Initial Notes”), subscribed for by certain funds managed, sponsored or advised by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and its affiliates.
The First Note Amendment amends the Notes Purchase Agreement to, among other things, transition reporting from accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Initial Notes are guaranteed and secured on substantially the same basis as our Revolving Credit Facility, which was also amended and restated on November 15, 2021, as described below.
First Amended and Restated Revolving Facility Agreement
On November 15, 2021, Soho House Bond Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into the First Amended and Restated Revolving Facility Agreement (the "First Amendment"), which amends and restates in its entirety the existing £75.0 million Revolving Facility Agreement (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), dated December 5, 2019, among HSBC Bank PLC and SHG Acquisition (UK) Limited and Soho House U.S. Corp., two of the Company's wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries, as borrowers.
The First Amendment amends the Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, change the reference rate under the Revolving Credit Facility for borrowings denominated in pounds sterling from a LIBOR-based rate to a SONIA-based rate and to transition reporting from accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The First Amendment also reset the Company's Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) test levels, scaling up from £0 at December 31, 2021 to £32 million ($44 million, if translated using the average exchange rate in effect during the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021) after June 30, 2022. The First Amendment matures on January 25, 2023.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
As of October 3, 2021, 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 final prospectus filed with the SEC on July 16, 2021.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of October 3, 2021.
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 U.S. 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. 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 final prospectus filed with the SEC on July 16, 2021.
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 anon-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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
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.
Accordingly, 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. However, as suppliers of the US and German businesses are predominantly paid in US dollars or Euros respectively, this acts as a natural hedge against foreign exchange risk.
If the US Dollar had strengthened/weakened by 10% versus the Pound sterling, revenue would have been approximately $11 million lower and approximately $11 million higher, respectively, and Net Loss would have been approximately $7 million lower and approximately $7 million higher, respectively, for third quarter 2021.
If the Euro had strengthened/weakened by 10% versus the Pound sterling, revenue would have been approximately $3 million lower and approximately $3 million higher, respectively, and Net Loss would have been approximately $0 million lower and approximately $0 million higher, respectively, for third quarter 2021.
If the US Dollar had strengthened/weakened by 10% versus the Pound sterling, revenue would have been approximately $21 million lower and approximately $21 million higher, respectively, and Net Loss would have been approximately $19 million lower and approximately $19 million higher, respectively, for the nine months ended October 3, 2021.
If the Euro had strengthened/weakened by 10% versus the Pound sterling, revenue would have been approximately $4 million lower and approximately $5 million higher, respectively, and Net Loss would have been approximately $0 million lower and approximately $0 million higher, respectively, for the nine months ended October 3, 2021.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss from amounts owed by financial counterparties. 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 October 3, 2021, we had $259 million in cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet 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.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management concluded as of October 3, 2021 that 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 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 Registration Statement dated July 16, 2021, 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 3, 2021, due to insufficiently qualified accounting and other finance personnel with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience. Management believes that our lack of experience with U.S. GAAP and the fact that policies and procedures with respect to the review, supervision and monitoring of our accounting and reporting functions were either not designed and in place constituted material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Until such time, if ever, that we remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting we expect that the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures will continue.
60
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 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 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.
61
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 final prospectus dated July 14, 2021 that forms a part of our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-257206), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on July 16, 2021 (“Form S-1”), as updated by the risk factors discussed in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of and for the 13-weeks and 26-weeks ended July 4, 2021 (“Q2 2021 Quarterly Report”), 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 Form S-1, as updated by our Q2 2021 Quarterly Report, except as set forth below. The risks described in our Form S-1 and our Q2 2021 Quarterly Report as updated below 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.
Increasing inflation could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Inflation and some of the measures taken by or that may be taken by the governments in countries where we operate in an attempt to curb inflation may have negative effects on the economies of those countries generally. If the United States or other countries where we operate experience substantial inflation in the future, our business may be adversely affected. In addition, we may not be able to adjust the prices we charge our members to offset the impact of inflation on our expenses, leading to an increase in our operating expenses and a reduction in our House-Level Contribution Margin and Other Contribution Margin. This could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
(a) Sales of Unregistered Securities
None.
(b) Use of Proceeds from Public Offering of Common Stock
On July 19, 2021, we completed the IPO of Class A of our common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-257206). We sold 30,567,918 shares of common stock (which included 567,918 shares that were offered and sold pursuant to the partial exercise of the IPO underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares) at a price to the public of $14.00 per share.
