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 38 Soho Houses, 9 Soho Works Clubs, The Ned in London and New York, The LINE and Saguaro hotels in North America, Scorpios Beach Club in Mykonos, Soho Home, our interiors and lifestyle retail brand, and our digital channels.
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 our Class A 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.
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. In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we consistently applied the accounting policies described in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended January 2, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2022, with the exception of the Revenue Recognition policy which has been updated to reflect the launch of the House Introduction Credits, as explained in further detail 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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive loss, of changes in redeemable shares and shareholders’ equity (deficit), and of cash flows for the periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022.
The results of operations for the 13- and 39-week periods ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
The unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022 and the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 2, 2022 include the correction of an error related to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As of October 2, 2022 and January 2, 2022 and for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021
statements as of and for the 13 weeks ended April 3, 2022 ("Q1 2022"), and the consolidated financial statements as of and for the 52 weeks ended January 2, 2022 ("Fiscal 2021"), 53 weeks ended January 3, 2021 ("Fiscal 2020"), and 52 weeks ended December 29, 2019 ("Fiscal 2019"). The error relates to the correction of the estimation of the historical operating lease liabilities which resulted in the overstatement of historical operating lease liability and assets by $12 million and $5 million, respectively, as of Q1 2022; $11 million and $5 million, respectively, as of Fiscal 2021; $18 million and $13 million, respectively, as of Fiscal 2020; and $17 million and $14 million, respectively as of Fiscal 2019. The correction of this error is presented within operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 2, 2022 amounting to $5 million and $12 million, respectively. The error also resulted in the overstatement of operating lease expenses, with no effect for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022, with a cumulative impact of $6 million for the 13 weeks ended April 3, 2022, $6 million for Fiscal 2021, $5 million for Fiscal 2020 and $3 million for Fiscal 2019. The correction of this cumulative error is presented within In-House operating expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022.
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.
Revenue Recognition
House Introduction Credits
New members admitted on or after April 4, 2022 are required to purchase House Introduction Credits ("House Introduction Credits") as part of their membership, per the House rules. House Introduction Credits are credits of an equivalent value to cash within Houses and are redeemable against purchases of food and beverage items and bedroom stays at the Houses. House Introduction Credits expire after three months from the date of issuance, where legally permitted in the regions we operate, if not utilized or if the Company terminates a member's House membership. House Introduction Credits are recognized upon issuance as deferred revenue on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revenue from House Introduction Credits are recognized as In-House revenues when redeemed by members, and as breakage revenue within Membership revenues upon expiration or in the period when we are able to reliably estimate expected breakage and further redemption is deemed remote.
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 2, 2022, the Company incurred a consolidated net loss of $91 million and $236 million, respectively. During the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, the Company had positive cash flow from operations of $38 million. As of October 2, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,256 million, cash and cash equivalents of $228 million, and restricted cash of $7 million.
In addition, we have had to temporarily close some of our Houses, hotels and public restaurants, at different times in prior periods due to continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has and may continue to have an impact on our revenues. At the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, all of our Houses are open (with some limited seasonal closures).
In assessing the going concern basis of preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, 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 committed and accessible working capital to the Company.
We have considered the current global economic and political uncertainties, specifically including inflationary pressures on consumables purchased and wages, as well as any further possible impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company has factored these in when it undertook an 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, macro-economic dynamics, possible temporary closures of our properties from any further impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (which impacts the Company’s ability to keep open Houses and maintain a level of operations consistent with pre COVID-19 times), cost reductions, both limited and extensive, and a combination of these different scenarios.
We believe that 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 of continued recovery from the impact of the pandemic and mitigating the impacts of inflationary pressures and consumer confidences, subject to the following key factors:
• the continued access to 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 future restrictions and/or members spending patterns;
• the continued high level of membership retention and renewals, together with members continuing their current spending patterns; and
• the implementation of cost containment and reductions measures that are aligned with the anticipated levels of capacity.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As of October 2, 2022 and January 2, 2022 and for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021
Furthermore, available cash as a result of completed financing events, includes the exercising of an option on March 9, 2022 for issued additional notes under the existing senior secured notes for $100 million and available additional liquidity, and access to an undrawn revolving credit facility of £71 million ($79 million) (see Note 11, Debt, for additional information).
This, together with the Company’s wider sufficient financial resources, an established business model, access to capital and the measures that have been put in place to control costs, mean that 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 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued.
Based on the above, the unaudited 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022.
Comprehensive Loss
The entire balance of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes, is related to the cumulative translation adjustment in each of the periods presented.
3.Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the following material variable interest entities (“VIEs”): Soho Restaurants Limited; Ned-Soho House, LLP; Soho Works Limited; and Soho Works North America, LLC.
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.
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. As a result of the reorganization and the Company’s variable interest in Soho Restaurants (consisting primarily of the Soho Restaurants Loan Note that remained outstanding after the reorganization 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 and accounted for the Soho Restaurants reorganization using the acquisition method of accounting.
On March 29, 2022, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Soho Restaurants for nominal consideration (the “Soho Restaurants Acquisition”) from Quentin Partners. Because the Company consolidated Soho Restaurants prior to the Soho Restaurants Acquisition, the Company accounted for the Soho Restaurants Acquisition as a transaction with a noncontrolling interest holder that did not result in a change of control. The Company derecognized a noncontrolling deficit of $2 million and recorded the difference between the fair value of consideration transferred to Quentin Partners 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 Restaurants Acquisition, the Company became the sole equity owner of Soho Restaurants.

4.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 and no new equity method investments since January 2, 2022. 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.
Toronto Joint Venture
On March 28, 2012, the Company and two unrelated investors (“Toronto Partners”) formed Soho House Toronto to establish and operate a House in Toronto, Canada. The Company is responsible for managing the development and operations of the property with key operating decisions requiring joint approval with the Toronto Partners.
56-60 Redchurch Street, London Joint Venture
On July 6, 2015, the Company and a related party investor (“Raycliff Partner”) formed Raycliff Red LLP (“Club Row Rooms”) to develop and operate a hotel at 58-60 Redchurch Street intended to provide additional members’ accommodation to the nearby Shoreditch House in London. This was later extended to include 56 Redchurch Street under the same terms. The Company is responsible for managing the operations of the property and the Raycliff Partner is responsible for managing the building.
The Company concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the Soho House Toronto or 56-60 Redchurch Street, London VIEs in any of the periods 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.
Summarized Financial Information
The following tables present summarized financial information for all unconsolidated equity method investees. The Company’s maximum exposure to losses related to its equity method investments is limited to its ownership interests, as well as certain guarantees.

The Company’s equity method investees have not yet adopted ASC 842, Leases (“Topic 842”); 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 3 material finance leases with 25-year renewal options, with rent payments on renewal based on upward changes in inflation rates. As of October 2, 2022, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for 108 operating leases and 3 finance leases. As of January 2, 2022, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for 101 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 2, 2022 and January 2, 2022, $1 million and $12 million, respectively, is recorded in accounts payable in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets related to deferred lease payments.

On December 5, 2019, the Company entered into a £55 million ($72 million) floating rate revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a maturity date of January 25, 2022. In April 2020, the Company secured an additional £20 million ($25 million) of liquidity under this facility and extended the maturity until January 2023. On November 15, 2021, the Company amended the Revolving Credit Facility which, among other things, changed the reference rate under the Revolving Credit Facility for borrowings denominated in British pound sterling (“GBP”) from a LIBOR-based rate to a SONIA-based rate and to transition reporting from accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom to US GAAP. On February 11, 2022, the Company amended the Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date to January 25, 2024. During the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, the Company repaid the entire outstanding balance of the facility with proceeds from the IPO. As of October 2, 2022 and January 2, 2022, £71 million ($79 million) and £71 million ($96 million), respectively, is available to draw under this facility, with £4 million ($5 million) and £4 million ($6 million), respectively, utilized as a letter of guarantee in respect of one of the Company’s lease agreements. The facility is secured on a fixed and floating charge basis over certain assets of the Company. The Company incurred interest expense of $1 million and less than $1 million on this facility during the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021, respectively, and $2 million and $3 million during the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021, respectively. On November 10, 2022, Soho House Bond Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Third Amended and Restated Revolving Facility Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), which amends and restates the Revolving Credit Facility. The Third Amendment amends the Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date from January 25, 2024 to July 25, 2026 and includes a Leverage Covenant, effective from March 2023 and only applicable when 40% or more of the facility is drawn. Refer to Note 20 - Subsequent events.
In April 2017, the Company entered into the Permira Senior Facility, which consisted of a £275 million ($345 million) senior secured loan with an interest rate of LIBOR (subject to a floor of 1%) + 8%. A portion of the interest on the Permira Senior Facility was in the form of payment-in-kind interest, with the accrued interest being converted to capital outstanding on the loan at each interest payment date.

Recurring and Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements
There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of October 2, 2022 or January 2, 2022.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company believes the carrying values of its financial instruments related to current assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to short-term maturities.
The Company has estimated the fair value of the debt as of October 2, 2022 and the fair value of the Senior Secured Notes as of January 2, 2022 using a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of the property mortgage loans and other non-current debt as of January 2, 2022 is estimated to be equal to the current carrying value of each instrument based on a comparison of each instrument’s contractual terms to current market terms. The Company does not believe that the use of different market inputs would have resulted in a materially different fair value of debt as of October 2, 2022 and January 2, 2022.
The following table presents the estimated fair values (all of which are Level 3 fair value measurements) of the Company’s debt instruments with maturity dates in 2023 and thereafter:

During the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, the Company repurchased a total of 2,362,083 and 4,941,560 shares of Class A common stock for $15 million and $35 million, including commissions, respectively.
Loss per Share
The Company computes loss per share using the two-class method. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings or losses are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class of common stock, and the resulting basic and diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders are therefore the same for Class A and Class B common stock.
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 Transactions. 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 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 cumulative undeclared dividends on certain SHHL preferred shares, which were redeemed for cash in July 2021. The loss per share calculations for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 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 calculations for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021 exclude the impact of unvested SHHL 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.
16.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 unaudited 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 sole discretion issued membership credits to Soho House members to be redeemed for certain Soho House products and services. Membership credits were issued by the Company as a one-time goodwill gesture deemed to be a marketing offer to Soho House members, and were initially set to expire on December 31, 2020. The liability associated with the membership credits was derecognized based on the usage of credits and the cost of the inventory or services to fulfill the Company’s obligation to its Soho House members and was classified within other current liabilities on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. In March 2021, the Company decided in its discretion to extend the expiration date of the membership credits 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. The Company recognized marketing expenses of $1 million and $5 million during the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, respectively, which are included within other expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no material marketing expenses recognized during the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022.
Capital Commitments
As of October 2, 2022, capital expenditure commitments contracted for but not yet incurred total $2 million and are related primarily to site improvement costs for Soho Beach House, Soho House New York, and Soho House Hong Kong.
Business Interruption and Property Insurance
The Company maintains insurance policies to cover business interruption with terms that management believes to be adequate and appropriate. These policies may be subject to applicable deductible or retention amounts, coverage limitations and exclusions and may not be sufficient to cover all of the losses incurred. The Company did not incur any losses during the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021.
In February 2022, there was a fire at Little Beach House Malibu which resulted in full House closure until April 2022. As a result of the fire damage, the Company recorded business interruption insurance proceeds totaling less than $1 million related to the reimbursement of lost profits as a result of the closure. This amount is recorded as business interruption income on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022.
In addition, the Company received cash totaling less than $1 million in connection with a property damage insurance claim, which reimburses the replacement cost for repair or replacement of damaged assets. This amount is recorded as insurance proceeds received on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022.
In July 2021, the Company carried out a legal entity restructuring which resulted in the formation of Membership Collective Group Inc., a US domiciled corporation, as the parent entity of the Company. Prior to July 2021, the parent entity of the Company was a UK domiciled entity.
For the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, 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 $20 million and $45 million based on the results for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022. 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 increased by $4 million and $15 million in the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, respectively. There is no impact on the Company’s effective tax rate for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022 as there is a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance applied for the period.
The effective tax rate for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022 was (3.41)%, compared to (3.91)% for the 13 weeks ended October 3, 2021. The effective tax rate for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022 was (1.32)% compared to 0.91% for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021. The effective tax rate for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022 differs from the US statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a full valuation allowance being recorded against the tax losses and other deferred tax assets generated during the period then ended.
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 operating segment; access to Soho Works collaboration spaces across the UK and North America, which comprise its Soho Works operating segment; and memberships for people who live in cities where physical Houses do not exist, which comprise its Cities Without Houses operating segment.
The Company has identified the following three reportable segments:
The manner in which the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) assesses information for decision-making purposes changed during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022. SHD, which was previously a separate reportable segment, is no longer a separate operating segment or reportable segment since the CODM does not review discrete financial information for the business. In addition, Soho Restaurants, which was previously not a separate operating or reportable segment, became a separate operating segment since the CODM reviews discrete financial information for the business. The Company restated segment information for the historical periods presented herein to conform to the current presentation. This change in segment presentation does not affect the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows.

As of October 2, 2022 and January 2, 2022 and for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021
The Company analyzed the results of the Retail, Soho Works, Soho Restaurants, and Cities Without Houses operating segments and concluded that they did not warrant separate presentation as reportable segments as they do not provide additional useful information to the readers of the financial statements. Therefore, these segments are included as part of an “All Other” category.
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, deferred revenue from House Introduction Credits, share of equity method investments adjusted EBITDA, share-based compensation expense, and certain other expenses.
The following tables present disaggregated revenue for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021 and the key financial metrics reviewed by the CODM for the Company’s reportable segments:

Overview
Our Membership Platform
The Membership Collective Group (“MCG”) is a global membership platform 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 27 years, we have expanded our membership expertise and diversified our offerings—both physically and digitally. As of October 2, 2022, we have approximately 211,400 members (including approximately 152,200 Soho House members) who engage with MCG through our global portfolio of 38 Soho Houses, 9 Soho Works, The Ned in London and New York, The LINE and Saguaro hotels in North America, Scorpios Beach Club in Mykonos, Soho Home, our interiors and lifestyle retail brand, and our digital channels.
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, invite guests and to connect with each other. It’s become an enabler to make member experience convenient and fulfilling – both in the houses and outside. Annually, we host thousands of member events worldwide, spanning film, fashion, art, food and drink, well-being, work and music—and help our members forge connections to bring them closer together.
Our membership expertise, honed through the growth of Soho House, has led to our evolution into the Membership Collective Group, a home to numerous memberships including Cities Without Houses, Soho Works, Soho Friends, and Ned’s Club. By designing, curating and growing our membership offering, our membership platform can 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 27-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.
33
•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 very favorably to leading consumer subscriptions or memberships—across music, media, fitness, entertainment and commerce—despite, in many cases, their significantly lower price points.
The demand for our membership is also demonstrated by our large and growing MCG global wait list, which as of October 2, 2022 stands at approximately 85,000 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 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, of our $702 million in revenue, $196 million (28%) was attributable to Membership Revenues, $306 million (44%) to In-House Revenues, and $200 million (28%) 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.
Membership Revenues are comprised of annual membership fees and one-time legacy initial registration fees paid by members prior to April 4, 2022. From April 4, 2022, new admitted members will be required to purchase House Introduction Credits which will be redeemable against purchases of food and beverage items and bedroom stays at the Houses which will be recorded as In-House Revenues. Any unused amounts will be recognized as Membership Revenues. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Basis of Presentation in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on House Introduction Credits.
In-House Revenues include all revenues realized within our Houses, including food and beverage, accommodation, and spa products and treatments. 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.
Other Revenues include all revenues not realized within our Houses, including Scorpios, Soho Works and standalone restaurants, design and procurement fees from SHD and Soho Home among others.
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 $4,000 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” (25 years old and younger) and “Millennials” (26- to 41-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 intelligence for future growth, which we have employed to open new Houses in certain locations, including Nashville (February 2022), Brighton (March 2022) and Copenhagen (July 2022). As of October 2, 2022, we have over 6,400 CWH members across 58 cities.
There are a significant number of people who enjoy the Soho House way of living and who have already visited our Houses as guests, stayed in our bedrooms, or visited our public restaurants and spas, but do not currently have a Soho House membership. To respond to this audience, we launched Soho Friends in November 2020 for an annual subscription cost of $130. We offer access to physical spaces, including Soho House bedrooms, and Soho Studios (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 2, 2022, we had 52,698 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 mostly through ecommerce. Over the past few years, we have transformed Soho Home into a high growth retail business. At the beginning of August 2022 we merged our SOHO HOME+ membership into Soho Friends.
Soho Works
First launched in 2015, Soho Works provides its members with the space and resources to work alongside other like-minded individuals and businesses—facilitating connections and providing the tools to flourish. Aimed 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 2, 2022, we had 6,488 members. Soho Works membership rates vary by location and Soho House membership status. For Soho House members, a US Soho Works membership ranges from $200—$750 per month, depending on membership type.
Scorpios Beach Club
Set in a cove on the southern tip of Mykonos, Scorpios offers a one of a kind beach experience with a well-established globally recognized brand. With a restaurant, terraces and daybeds, and a distinctive wellness offering, Scorpios enriches the lives of its guests who are looking to escape from their daily lives. We believe the Scorpios concept has significant potential to expand into additional locations as a key part of our platform and we expect to open our second site in Tulum, Mexico in 2023.
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’ club. The membership offered by The Ned (“Ned’s Club”) is aimed at a broader group of professional people. As of October 2, 2022, Ned’s Club London has approximately 3,000 members. In June 2022, we opened The Ned NoMad in New York which covers 117,000 sq ft and includes a Ned’s Club, Cecconi's restaurant, as well as 167 bedrooms. As of October 2, 2022, Ned NoMad has over 1,000 members. We opened another location, The Ned Doha, in November 2022. The Ned offers its members The Ned’s Club app, that allows members to make bookings, publish benefits, events and Club related information. We receive management fees under hotel management contracts for each of the operations of The Ned sites.
The LINE
On June 22, 2021, we acquired the operating agreements relating to the ‘The LINE’ and ‘Saguaro’ hotels. The hotels that are currently operational are located in Los Angeles, Washington, Austin, San Francisco (opened in September 2022) and Palm Springs, and among them offer a variety of food and beverage offerings together with approximately 1,370 hotel rooms. We receive management fees under hotel management contracts for the operation of these hotels. We believe the transaction will broaden our geographic reach in North America.
Factors Affecting Our Business
We believe the coveted lifestyle brand we have created has significant and proven growth potential. This potential, combined with the stability of our membership base, we believe will enable us to maintain our position as an industry leader in the future. We expect to grow our member base by growing the number of Soho Houses, continuing to scale our existing membership brands and launching and growing new membership brands. We believe our track record in expanding and growing our platform will position us to achieve significant and sustained growth.
A significant portion of our revenues is derived from House Revenues which consist of Membership Revenues and In-House Revenues. Our Membership Revenues, which are reflective of our steady and growing global brand, help to provide us with a recurring revenue base that limits the impact of fluctuations in regional economic conditions.
35
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 three reportable segments (United Kingdom, North America, and Europe and Rest of the World (“ROW”)) and one non-reportable segment that we present as “All Other”. Each of our segments includes all operations in that region including our Houses and all associated facilities, spas and stand-alone restaurants. Refer to Note 18—Segments in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on reportable segments.
Key Performance and Operating Metrics Evaluated by Management
In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of operating and financial measures. These key measures include:
NUMBER OF SOHO HOUSES. The number of Soho Houses reflects the total number of Soho Houses in operation in any period, irrespective of whether each House is (i) controlled by us, (ii) operated through a non-controlling interest in a joint venture or (iii) operated through a management contract.
We review the number of members from all Houses to assess new member growth, total House Revenues, and House-Level Contribution.
NUMBER OF SOHO HOUSE MEMBERS. Our Soho House membership model is an integral part of our business and has a significant impact on our profitability and financial performance. Typically, members hold an Every House membership or a Local House membership. Member count is the primary driver of Membership Revenues and is also a critical factor in In-House Revenues as members utilize the offerings that are provided within the Houses. Soho House members include all active, frozen and non-paying members.
The extent to which we achieve growth in our membership base, retain existing members and periodically increase our membership fee rates will impact our profitability. We have historically enjoyed strong member loyalty, reflected by very high retention rates. Robust demand for our memberships is also evidenced by considerable wait lists for our Houses.
The year-over-year increase in our total number of Soho House members is driven by a combination of increases in membership at existing Houses and members from new Houses.
NUMBER OF OTHER MEMBERS. Other members include members of Soho Works and Soho Friends are key to our growth strategy and enhancing our Soho House member experience. Like Soho House members, other memberships are an integral part of our business and we believe will have a significant impact on our profitability and financial performance in the future.
FROZEN MEMBERS. Frozen Members refers to Soho House members who have elected to suspend their membership payments on a six, nine- or twelve-month basis during which period the member is not able to gain access to a Soho House site as a member, access our membership Apps, or book bedrooms or Cowshed treatments or products on discounted member rates. Frozen Members are not included in Adult Paying Members, but are included in the total number of Soho House members.
MEMBERSHIP REVENUES. Membership Revenues are comprised of House Membership Revenues (as defined below) and Non-House Membership Revenues (as defined below). House Membership Revenues and Non-House Membership Revenues are each comprised primarily of annual membership fees and one-time legacy registration fees which are amortized over 20 years. The one-time registration fee is no longer applicable to new members admitted from
36
April 4, 2022; see "House Introduction Credits" below. Membership Revenues are a function of the number of members, membership mix, and membership pricing. For GAAP, we report Membership Revenues only from Houses and sites in which we own a controlling interest. Our membership pricing varies by geographic segment and membership offering and, as such, our mix of House and Soho Works club openings can affect our revenue growth and profitability over time. Prices are generally higher in North America and the ROW compared with the UK and Europe. Membership Revenues provide a stable and recurring source of revenues which have few direct costs and, as such, is a reliable and predictable source of cash flow.
HOUSE INTRODUCTION CREDITS. New members admitted from April 4, 2022 are required to purchase House Introduction Credits as part of their membership, per the House rules. House Introduction Credits are credits of an equivalent value to cash within Houses and are redeemable against purchases of food and beverage items, and bedroom stays, at the Houses. House Introduction Credits expire after the first three months from the date of issuance, where legally permitted in the regions we operate, if not utilized or if the Company terminates a member’s House membership. House Introduction Credits are recognized upon issuance as deferred revenue on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revenue from House Introduction Credits are recognized as In-House revenues when redeemed by members, and as breakage revenue within Membership revenues upon expiration or in the period that we are able to reliably estimate expected breakage. House Introduction Credits expire three months from the date of issue.
HOUSE MEMBERSHIP REVENUES. House Membership Revenues are comprised primarily of annual membership fees and one-time legacy registration fees from Soho House members which are amortized over 20 years. The one-time registration fee is no longer applicable to new members admitted from April 4, 2022; see "House Introduction Credits" above.
IN-HOUSE REVENUES. In-House Revenues refer to all revenues realized within our Houses, and primarily includes revenues from food and beverage, accommodation, and spa products and treatments.
HOUSE REVENUES. House Revenues is defined as House Membership Revenues plus In-House Revenues, less Non-House Membership Revenues. Our management views House Membership Revenues and In-House Revenues as interrelated and their aggregation as important in tracking House performance. Although there is no minimum spend for any member on In-House offerings, nevertheless in practice most members consume food and beverage, accommodations and other offerings at our Houses. The pricing of our In-House offerings is reflective of the fact that the significant majority of In-House offerings that generate In-House revenues are consumed by members who also pay a membership fee in relation to that House, with pricing of such In-House offerings being identical for both members and non-members.
OTHER REVENUES. Other Revenues are defined as total revenues that are not realized within our Houses, including revenues from Scorpios, Soho Works and our stand-alone restaurants, procurement fees from SHD, Soho Home and Cowshed retail products and other revenues from products and services that we provide outside of our Houses, as well as management fees from hotel management contracts for The Ned Sites and The LINE and Saguaro hotels.
NON-HOUSE MEMBERSHIP REVENUES. Non-House Membership Revenues are comprised of Soho Works membership revenue, Soho Friends membership revenue and SOHO HOME+ membership revenue which was merged into Soho Friends membership at the beginning of August 2022.
ACTIVE APP USERS. Active App Users is defined as unique users who have logged into any of our membership Apps within the last three months.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We refer to Adjusted EBITDA, House-Level Contribution, House-Level Contribution Margin, Other Contribution and Other Contribution Margin throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as we use these measures to evaluate our operating performance and each of these measures is defined in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” We believe these measures are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, House-Level Contribution, House-Level Contribution Margin, Other Contribution and Other Contribution Margin are all supplemental measures of our performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, House-Level Contribution, House-Level Contribution Margin, Other Contribution and Other Contribution Margin should not be considered as substitutes for GAAP metrics such as Operating Loss and Net Loss or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Some of our financial and operational data that we disclose in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are presented on a ‘constant currency’ basis to isolate the effect of currency changes during the period. Where we refer to a measure being calculated in ‘constant currency’, we are calculating the USD change and the 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 increased by 39% to $71,023 for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022. This increase was predominantly driven by an additional 32,393 Adult Paying Soho House members at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022 versus the comparative period driven by new House openings, intakes at existing Houses and the unfreeze of members following the reduction in COVID-19 restrictions versus third quarter fiscal 2021. Additionally, the Soho House membership fee was increased at the start of fiscal 2022. This increase will impact new members on the date they join and existing members on their renewal date.
Our United Kingdom segment saw an increase in Membership revenues of $3,367, or 21% (42% constant currency), due to the opening of Brighton Beach House in March 2022 and Little House Balham in July 2022, as well as membership intakes across all existing Houses, which resulted in an increase in Adult paying members of approximately 10,800 versus third quarter of fiscal 2021.
North America segment saw an increase in revenues of $11,301, or 47% (47% constant currency), due to an increase of approximately 13,200 Adult paying members in third quarter of fiscal 2022 versus third quarter 2021, helped by the opening of Soho House Nashville in February 2022 and Holloway House, West Hollywood in May 2022.
The Europe/RoW segment saw an increase in Membership revenues of $2,349, or 51% (77% constant currency), due to an increase of over approximately 5,900 Adult paying members, predominantly driven by intakes across all Houses, particularly at our new and maturing sites, Soho House Paris (September 2021), Soho House Rome (October 2021), and Soho House Copenhagen (July 2022).
Membership revenues reported under All Other above saw an increase predominantly driven by growth in CWH Adult Paying members as well as over 1,900 additional Soho Works paying members and 34,800 Soho Friends members in comparison to the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
In constant currency, Membership revenues would have increased by $27,407, or 63%.

In-House revenues were $108,488 for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022, an increase of $41,629 versus the comparative period in 2021. The increase was predominantly driven by Houses being back at full trading capacity in comparison to third quarter fiscal 2021 where a number of sites were still impacted by local social distancing restrictions, particularly in North America, Europe and Hong Kong. Revenues were further increased due to new Soho Houses opening in the last quarter of fiscal 2021 and then first three quarters of fiscal 2022 and well as selective price increases across our food and beverage offerings.
North America In-House revenues increased significantly versus third quarter fiscal 2021, predominantly due to the reduction in social distancing measures across states, where mask and vaccine mandates were still in place across a number of properties in third quarter 2021. The increase was further boosted by the opening of Soho House Nashville and Holloway House, West Hollywood in February 2022 and May 2022, respectively.
In-House revenues in the United Kingdom segment saw an increase year on year due to removal of all COVID-19 related social distancing restrictions present in third quarter 2021, additional rooms added to the offering at Soho Farmhouse, Oxfordshire verses the comparative period, and additional revenues from Brighton Beach House which opened in March 2022 and Little House Balham which opened in July 2022.
Europe/RoW In-House revenues segment saw a large increase year on year predominantly driven by increased revenues from Soho House Paris and Soho House Tel Aviv, which were only open for part of third quarter 2021, and Soho House Rome and Soho House Copenhagen which opened in October 2021 and
40
July 2022 respectively. Additionally Soho House Berlin and Soho House Amsterdam saw increased revenues versus the comparative period in 2021 following removal of certain international travel restrictions the were present in third quarter fiscal 2021.
In constant currency, In-House Revenues would have increased by $51,490, or 90%.

Other revenues were $86,535 for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022, compared to $61,538 for the 13 weeks ended October 3, 2021, an increase of $24,997. The increase is predominantly driven by increased sales volumes at our public restaurants in North America and the United Kingdom, as well as at Scorpios, Mykonos in third quarter of fiscal 2022 following fewer COVID-19 related restrictions and increased footfall, in comparison to third quarter fiscal 2021.
The increase in Other revenues in the North America segment in third quarter of fiscal 2022 is predominantly driven by a reduction in social distancing measures in comparison to third quarter of fiscal 2021, as well as the agreement to manage and operate the Le Vallauris restaurant, Palm Springs in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, which has also contributed to the increase in Other revenues.
The increase in Other revenues in the United Kingdom segment are predominantly driven by increased footfall at our restaurants following the reduction in social distancing restrictions versus third quarter 2021, coupled with selective price increases across our food and beverage offerings, as well as a stronger average daily rate at our London townhouse which was up 13% versus the comparative period.
The Europe/RoW Other revenues segment has increased compared to third quarter fiscal 2021 due to Scorpios Beach Club which operated with less restrictions versus last year, and saw significant increase in visits following relaxed travel rules for key markets, such as the United States.
Other revenues reported under All Other above have increased predominantly due to increased revenues from our Soho Home offering which increased 55% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2021and the lease promote received following the sale of our Paris property by the landlord of $4 million. As part of our lease agreements we often include a promote clause to ensure a share of any gain in the value of the property during our tenancy.
In constant currency, Other Revenues have an increase by $34,074, or 65%.

In-House Operating Expenses were $139,212 for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022, an increase of $49,872. The increase is primarily a result of fewer capacity restrictions in third quarter 2022 in comparison to third quarter 2021, where some of the Houses were operating at reduced capacity, and the associated increase in volumes. The increase year on year is also driven by six additional Houses opened since third quarter 2021, the impact of wage inflation and retention incentives across all regions as well as energy increases in the United Kingdom, the cost of which has doubled at our UK House versus the comparative quarter.
In constant currency, In-House Operating Expenses would have increased by $63,050.
House-Level Contribution, which is defined as House Revenues less In-House Operating Expenses, was $32,599 for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022, compared to $23,950 for the 13 weeks ended October 3, 2021, an increase of $8,649. The increase in House-Level Contribution predominantly relates to increased Soho House membership revenues as well as higher sales volumes and pricing across our rooms and food and beverage. These gains have been partly offset by increased operating expenses following the increase in trading volumes in third quarter 2022, as well as cost price inflation felt across all regions.
The Europe/ROW segment saw a decrease in Contribution and margin versus the comparative period predominantly due to the dilutive impact of two new Houses; Soho House Copenhagen and Soho House Tel Aviv, as well as lower contribution from Soho House Berlin versus the comparative period due to cost increases outstripping revenue increases predominantly due to significant wage increases, as a result of both higher trading volumes and wage inflation within the region.
House-Level Contribution Margin was 19% for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022, decreased by 2% from the prior period due to increased membership revenues in the quarter compared to the prior period being more than offset by higher expenses, especially wages.

Other Operating Expenses were $74,482 for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022, compared with $54,379 for the 13 weeks ended October 3, 2021, an increase of $20,103, or 37%. This increase is primarily driven by reduced COVID-19 related trading restrictions in third quarter 2022 compared to third quarter 2021, thus resulting in higher trading volumes, particularly in relation to Scorpios Mykonos. In constant currency, Other Operating Expenses would have increased $28,124, or 61%.
Other Contribution, which we define as Other Revenues plus Non-House Membership Revenues less Other Operating Expenses, was $19,753 for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022, compared to income of $11,890 for the comparative period, an increase of $7,863. This was predominantly driven by higher Non-House Membership Revenues, and a stronger performance year on year from Scorpios, Mykonos.
Other Contribution Margin was 21% for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022, an increase of 3% compared to the prior period driven by margin improvement at Scorpios, Mykonos, the lease promote gain in relation to the Soho House Paris property, as well as increased Non-House Membership Revenue following an additional approximately 32,400 members year on year.

The increase year on year was primarily driven by additional headcount to support the Soho House expansion in the last 12 months coupled with wage increases for existing staff from February 2022 onwards, and costs associated with being a public company which have increased 38% versus the comparative period, driven predominantly by legal and professional fees.
In constant currency, General and Administrative Expenses would have an increase of $10,032, or 48%.

Pre-Opening expenses were $2,555 for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022, driven by the opening of Little House Balham and Soho House Copenhagen during the quarter as well as some costs for future House openings. This is a decrease of 45% compared with the 13 weeks ended October 3, 2021, driven by better cost control and size of the Houses opened in the quarter compared to third quarter fiscal 2021.

Depreciation and amortization was $26,971 for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022, an increase of $5,471, or 25%, from the 13 weeks ended October 3, 2021. This increase was driven by the depreciation associated with six new Soho Houses that have opened since third quarter fiscal 2021, including Soho House Nashville, Holloway House, West Hollywood, Little House Balham and Brighton Beach House, all of which have opened in fiscal 2022 and by depreciation of $3 million recorded in the third quarter fiscal 2022, which we do not expect to recur. In constant currency, depreciation and amortization expenses would have increased by $8,642, or 47%.

Share-based compensation expense decreased by $7,503 to $7,778 for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022, primarily driven by the one time expense recognized in the third quarter of 2021 from the acceleration of vesting for certain outstanding awards in connection with the IPO, in accordance with the original award terms. In both periods presented the pre-fiscal 2021 awards (Share Appreciation Rights and Growth Shares) continued to vest. The acceleration expense of approximately $9 million was partially offset by the impact of new grants made since the third quarter of 2021 and the full vesting impact of IPO awards which were only partially expensed in the third quarter of 2021. Also included in the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022 is an expense of $1.9 million from the modification grant as a result of departure of the former Chief Operating Officer of the Company as well as $1.9 million from a new grant of RSUs that was made and fully expensed in the period.
Foreign exchange loss, net, which is unrealized and non-cash in nature, increased by $39,311 to $53,910 for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022, primarily driven by foreign exchange revaluation of our borrowings. The significant increase is a function of the relative volatility, period on period, of foreign exchange markets and the impact that this has had, most notably, on the revaluation of dollar borrowings held by non-dollar Group undertakings. Whilst the majority of our external borrowings are denominated in dollars, the foreign exchange impact primarily reflects the revaluation of our non-dollar denominated intra-group debt where we have lent dollars to non-dollar operating companies outside of the United States as well as our dollar denominated external borrowing held in non-dollar companies in our Group.
When we consolidate our non- United States companies and present a dollar view of the MCG Group, this intra-group debt is revalued from local currencies (pounds, euros etc.) to dollars and it is this non-cash revaluation that causes us to have this foreign exchange volatility.
Other expenses decreased by $7,951 to $912 for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022, primarily driven by non-recurring IPO related expenses of $8,514 and the non-cash member credit expense of $898 in the prior period as a result of the pandemic related closures. During the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022, other expenses primarily related to cash severance payments totally $250 and legal expenses of $150.

The increase is driven by increased operations following the removal of COVID-19 related restrictions in comparison to the 13 weeks ended October 3, 2021 as well as increased membership revenues from both Soho House and Non-House members. These increases were partially offset by an increases in General and administrative and In-House and Other operating expenses year on year.

Membership revenues increased by 43% (59% constant currency) to $195,685 for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022. This increase was predominantly driven by an additional 32,393 Adult Paying Soho House members at the end of the first three quarters of fiscal 2022 versus the comparative period driven by new members as well as the unfreezing of existing memberships as COVID-19 restrictions lifted in the second half of fiscal 2021. Additionally Soho House Every House membership fees were increased in February 2022 and again in April 2022, impacting all new members at the time of initial membership and existing members on renewal, which further increased membership revenue year on year.
There was also an increase in Non-House Membership revenues, following the increase in the number of Soho Friends and Soho Works members, with approximately 32,411 additional members in comparison to the end of the first three quarters of fiscal 2021.
Our United Kingdom segment saw an increase in Membership revenues of $10,949, or 25% (38% constant currency), due to the opening of Brighton Beach House in March 2022 and Little House Balham, London in July 2022 , as well as membership intakes and unfreezing memberships across all existing Houses following the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, meaning an increase in Adult paying members versus three quarters of fiscal 2021.
North America segment saw an increase in revenues of $29,955, or 45% (45% constant currency), due to an increase in Adult paying members during the first three quarters of fiscal 2022 versus first three quarters 2021, including the opening of Soho House Nashville in February 2022 and Holloway House, West Hollywood. in May 2022 as well as increased intakes in existing Houses versus the first three quarters of fiscal 2021 where intakes were limited due to COVID-19 restrictions.
The Europe/ROW segment saw an increase in Membership revenues of $6,090, or 48% (64% constant currency), due to an increase in Adult paying members, predominantly from new and maturing Houses, and recommencement of larger intakes at Soho House Hong Kong in fiscal 2022 in comparison to the prior period.
Membership revenue reported under All Other above saw an increase predominantly driven by growth in CWH Adult Paying members as well as over 1,900 additional Soho Works paying members and approximately 34,800 additional Soho Friends members in comparison to the first three quarters of fiscal 2021.
In constant currency, Membership revenues would have increased by $72,611, or 59%.

In-House revenues were $305,928 for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, an increase of $177,017 versus the comparative period in 2021. The increase was predominantly driven by an easing of social distancing restrictions as a number of our Houses were either not open in first three quarters of fiscal 2021 or operating at reduced capacity, such as outdoor dining only in our North America and London Houses. Revenues were further increased due to new Soho Houses opening in first three quarters 2022, as well as select price increases across our In-House offerings.
In constant currency, In-House Revenues would have increased by $189,711.

Other revenues were $200,211 for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, compared to $110,610 for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, an increase of $89,601. The increase is predominantly driven by increased trading in first three quarters of fiscal 2022 following fewer COVID-19 related restrictions in comparison to first three quarters of fiscal 2021.
In addition to reduced trading restrictions, the North America segment Other revenues have benefited in first three quarters of fiscal 2022 due to 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. The acquisition of the operating agreements relating to The LINE & Saguaro hotels in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the agreement to manage and operate the Le Vallauris restaurant, Palm Springs in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 have also contributed to the increase in Other revenues year on year.
The Europe/RoW Other revenues segment has increased compared to first three quarters of fiscal 2021 due to Scorpios Beach Club, which benefited from less restrictions versus last year as well as opening for the season two weeks earlier than in fiscal 2021, meaning increased revenue year on year.
In constant currency, Other Revenues have an increased by $100,493.

In-House Operating Expenses were $380,880 for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, an increase of $175,301. The increase is a result of six new Houses and fewer capacity restrictions in comparison to first three quarters of 2021, where the majority of Houses were shut or operating at reduced capacity, and the associated increase in volumes. Additionally, we also experienced significant cost inflation, and received fewer COVID-19 related government support grants to retain workers than in the first three quarters of fiscal 2021. The increase in In-House Operating Expenses was offset by an out-of-period adjustment correcting an error with respect to the estimation of the operating lease liability identified during the 13 week period ended July 3, 2022 but relating to the 13 week period ended April 3, 2022 and fiscal years 2022, 2020 and 2019. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Basis of Presentation for further information.
In the first three quarters of 2022, as a result of the continued impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental agencies in the 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 $0.7 million in first three quarters of 2022, and are presented as a reduction of payroll expenses within In-House Operating Expenses. 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 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 would have increased by $195,546.
House-Level Contribution, which is defined as House Revenues less In-House Operating Expenses, was $98,977 for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, compared to $50,816 for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, an increase of $48,161. The increase in House-Level Contribution partly relates to the impact of COVID-19 related restrictions in the first three quarters of fiscal 2021 and the return of trading volumes in the first three quarters of fiscal 2022, as well as increased Soho House membership revenues. This increase is partially offset by the opening of six additional Houses versus the first three quarters of fiscal 2021, with Houses tending to have negative contribution in their first year as the House matures.
House-Level Contribution Margin was 21% for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, increased by 1% from the prior period due to increased membership revenues and higher trading in the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 compared to the prior period, partially offset by the dilutive impact of six new Houses, Houses in Europe / RoW that were still impacted by COVID restrictions, and significant cost inflation.

Other Operating Expenses were $184,873 for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, compared with $123,257 for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, an increase of $61,616, or 50%. This increase is primarily driven by reduced COVID-19 related trading restrictions in the first three quarters of fiscal 2022 compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2021, thus resulting in higher trading volumes. In constant currency, Other Operating Expenses would have increased $73,754, or 66%.
Other Contribution, which we define as Other Revenues plus Non-House Membership Revenues less Other Operating Expenses, was $37,094 for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, compared to a loss of $3,613 for the comparative period, an increase of $40,707. This was predominantly driven by higher Non-House Membership Revenues and increased contribution from public restaurants and Scorpios Beach Club, Mykonos following removal of COVID-19 related trading restrictions.
Other Contribution reported under All Other above has increased significantly year on year due to better performance of Soho Restaurants, following removal of COVID-19 restrictions in UK, improved sales and profitability from Soho Home, as well as higher contribution of our Soho House Design business year on year due to third party projects.
Other Contribution Margin was 17% for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, an increase of 20% compared to the prior period, predominantly driven by removal of trading restrictions coupled with a very strong season at Scorpios Mykonos.

The increase was primarily driven by the increase in headcount at support offices as a result of increase in business activity following removal of COVID restrictions, additional headcount to support expansion and wage increases for existing staff from February 2022 onwards. In addition to this, there was a decrease in government support received in the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022 in comparison to the prior period.
In constant currency, General and Administrative Expenses would have an increase of $32,311, or 59%.

Pre-Opening expenses were $10,328 for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, driven by the opening of five Soho Houses during the first three quarters of fiscal 2022. The reduction in comparison to $15,990 for the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, is predominantly driven by better cost control and timing and size of new House openings. In constant currency, Pre-Opening expenses would have decreased by 28%.

Depreciation and amortization was $72,490 for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, an increase of $11,240, or 18%, from the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021. This increase was primarily driven by amortization of capitalized IT development costs, as well as depreciation associated with six new Soho Houses that opened in since the first three quarters of fiscal 2021 and by depreciation of $3 million recorded in the third quarter fiscal 2022, which we do not expect to recur. In constant currency, depreciation and amortization expenses would have increased by $17,272, or 31%.

Share-based compensation expense decreased by $103 to $19,855 for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, was primarily driven by the one time expense recognized in the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 from the acceleration of vesting for certain outstanding awards in connection with the IPO, in accordance with the original award terms. In both periods presented the pre-fiscal 2021 awards (Share Appreciation Rights and Growth Shares) continued to vest. The acceleration expense of approximately $9 million was almost fully offset by the impact of new grants made since the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 and the full vesting impact of IPO awards which were only partially expensed in the third quarter of 2021.
Foreign exchange loss, net, which is unrealized and non-cash in nature, increased by $97,639 to $128,160 for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, primarily driven by foreign exchange revaluation of our borrowings, which have increased since the preceding period. Increased foreign exchange volatility during the period has also contributed to this increase most notably on our dollar borrowings held by non-dollar Group undertakings. Whilst the majority of our external borrowings are denominated in dollars, the foreign exchange impact primarily reflects the revaluation of our non-dollar denominated intra-group debt where we have lent dollars to non-dollar operating companies outside of the United States as well as our dollar denominated external borrowing held in non-dollar companies in our Group.
Other expenses decreased by $20,985 to $1,989 for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, primarily driven by non-cash member credit expense of $5 million in the prior period as a result of the pandemic related closures and costs incurred associated with our Goldman Sachs refinancing in March 2021 and July 2021 IPO of $17 million. In the current period, the expense primarily relates to member credits and, because of comparatively fewer closures and operating restrictions, the associated expense is smaller. There were no refinancing or IPO related costs.

Net Interest Expense was $52,948 for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022, a decrease of $14,501, or 21%, on the comparative period in 2021. This decrease is primarily due to the one off $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 the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021, offset by the incremental interest expense incurred following issuance of $100 million of additional notes in March 2022 under the Goldman Sachs Senior Secured Note facility. In constant currency, net interest would have decreased by $7,859, or 13%.

The increase is driven by increased operations following the removal of COVID-19 related restrictions in comparison to the 39 weeks ended October 3, 2021 as well as increased membership revenues from both Soho House and Non-House members driven by both price increase for Soho House membership as well as an increase in the number of both House and Non-House member versus the first three quarters of fiscal 2021. This increase was partially offset by increased General and administrative, In-House and Other operating costs in contrast to the first three quarters of fiscal 2021. In constant currency, Adjusted EBITDA would have increased by $61,754 compared to the comparative period in fiscal 2021. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, please refer to section "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the cash requirements of our business operations. Our principal sources of liquidity are operating cash flows, holdings of cash and cash equivalents and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of October 2, 2022, we maintained a Cash and cash equivalents balance of $228 million and a Restricted cash balance of $7 million.
Our primary requirements for liquidity are to fund our working capital needs, operating and finance lease obligations, capital expenditures and general corporate needs. Our ongoing capital expenditures are principally related to opening new Houses, refurbishing and maintaining the existing House portfolio as well as investments in our corporate technology infrastructure to support our digital strategy and technology infrastructure.
In a given year, our primary cash inflows and outflows relate to the following:
(1)from operating activities, our cash inflows include Membership revenues, In-House revenues and Other revenues, such as the sale of retail products. The primary cash outflows from operating activities include general operating expenses and interest payments.
(2)from investing activities, our cash inflows include the proceeds from sale of property and equipment and the sales of subsidiaries. The primary cash outflows from investing activities include the purchase of property and equipment as well as intangibles.
(3)from financing activities, our cash inflows from financing activities include proceeds from borrowings and from the issuance of shares. The primary cash outflows from financing activities include repayments of borrowings and legal and professional fees from debt or equity related transactions.
We believe our existing cash and marketable securities balances will be sufficient to fund our operating and finance lease obligations, capital expenditures and working capital needs for at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.

Cash Requirements from Contractual and Other Obligations
As of October 2, 2022, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our contractual obligations from those disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based on the financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. The estimates are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an ‘emerging growth company,’ as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, and are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not ‘emerging growth companies,’ including, but not limited to: presenting only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Sarbanes-Oxley; having reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy or information statements; being exempt from the requirements to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation or seek stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved; and not being required to adopt certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
59
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed from what was previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022; however, we continue to monitor our exposure to market risk given the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
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. As income is received and suppliers paid in respect of the UK and European operations in Pound sterling or Euros, respectively, this acts as a natural hedge against foreign exchange risk.
If the USD had strengthened/weakened by 10% versus the GBP, revenue would have been approximately $4 million lower and approximately $5 million higher, respectively, and Net Loss would have been approximately $3 million lower and approximately $3 million higher, respectively, for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022.
If the Euro had strengthened/weakened by 10% versus the GBP, revenue would have been approximately $2 million lower and approximately $2 million higher, respectively, and Net Loss would have been approximately less than $1 million lower and approximately less than $1 million higher, respectively, for the 13 weeks ended October 2, 2022.
If the USD had strengthened/weakened by 10% versus the GBP, revenue would have been approximately $36 million lower and approximately $40 million higher, respectively, and Net Loss would have been approximately $21 million lower and approximately $23 million higher, respectively, for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022.
If the Euro had strengthened/weakened by 10% versus the GBP, revenue would have been approximately $9 million lower and approximately $8 million higher, respectively, and Net Loss would have been approximately $1 million lower and approximately less than $1 million higher, respectively, for the 39 weeks ended October 2, 2022.
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 2, 2022, we had $228 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, which is currently undrawn. We seek to manage exposure to adverse interest rate changes through our normal operating and financing activities.
Inflation Risk
Inflation has an impact on food, utility, labor, rent, and other costs which materially impact operations. Severe increases in inflation could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If several of the various costs in our business experience inflation at the same time, we may not be able to adjust prices to sufficiently offset the effect of the various cost increases without negatively impacting consumer demand.
Commodity Price Risks
We are exposed to commodity price risks specially foodstuffs, natural gas and oil. Many of the ingredients we use to prepare our food and beverages are commodities or are affected by the price of other commodities. Factors that affect the price of commodities are generally outside of our control and include foreign currency exchange rates, foreign and domestic supply and demand, inflation, weather, the geopolitical situation, and seasonality.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management concluded that as of October 2, 2022 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 Annual Report in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, 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 2, 2022, due to insufficiently qualified accounting and other finance personnel with an appropriate level of US GAAP knowledge and experience. Management believes that our lack of experience with US 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 or were not operating effectively 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.
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 2, 2022 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, which could materially affect our business, financial position, or future results of operations. There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, except for the below. The risks described in our Annual Report Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not precisely known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also arise and materially impact our business. If any of these risks occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected and the trading price of our common stock could decline.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by disruptions in the global economy caused by Russia’s ongoing conflict with Ukraine
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has negatively affected the global economy. Financial and economic sanctions imposed on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia by the U.S., United Kingdom and European Union, as well as potential retaliatory actions by Russia, could also have a negative impact on the global economy. Although the Company does not operate in Russia or Ukraine, the broader consequences of this conflict, including rising energy prices and shortages of and increased costs for food, goods and services and transportation or further escalation in adjacent areas could have negative downstream effects on our business and operations. Further expansion or escalation of military confrontations or related geopolitical tensions, including increased restrictions on global trade, could result in, among other things, lower travel demand, cyberattacks, terrorist activities, supply disruptions, workforce volatility and changes to foreign currency exchange rates and constraints, volatility or disruption in financial markets including increases in interest rates, any of which may adversely affect the global economy and our business. In addition, the effects of the ongoing conflict could intensify or otherwise affect many of our other risk factors that are included in “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2022.
