2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The 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. The Company's significant estimates relate to the valuation of financial instruments, equity method investments, the measurement of goodwill and intangible assets, contingent liabilities, income taxes, leases, long-lived assets and the expected breakage of house introduction credits. Although the estimates have been prepared using management's best judgment and management believes that the estimates used are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
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 1, 2023.
The results of operations for the 13- and 26-week periods ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022 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 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2022 include the correction of an error related to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial 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 operating lease expenses with a cumulative impact of $6 million for the 13 weeks ended April 3, 2022. The correction of this cumulative error is presented within In-House operating expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2022.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The ASU adds to US GAAP an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss, or “CECL” model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which is intended to result in the more timely recognition of losses. Under the CECL model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument from the date of initial recognition of the financial instrument. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 2, 2023 and concluded that adoption of this standard update did not have a material impact on either the financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures. There was no impact on beginning balance retained earnings upon adoption of this ASU.
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

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As of July 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023 and for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022
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, whilst the business has generated positive cash flows from operations during the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, there have been significant cash outflows over the past years primarily driven by investments in developing and opening new Houses. During the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, the Company incurred a consolidated net loss of $2 million and $18 million, respectively. During the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, the Company had positive cash flow from operations of $8 million. As of July 2, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,261 million, cash and cash equivalents of $129 million, and restricted cash of $48 million.
In assessing the going concern basis of preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, we have taken into consideration detailed cash flow forecasts for the Company, the Company’s forecast compliance with bank covenants, and the timing of debt commitments within 12 months of the approval of these financial statements, and the continued availability of committed and accessible working capital to the Company.
We have considered current global economic and political uncertainties, specifically including inflationary pressures on consumables purchased and wages, 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, repayment of existing short-term debt, macro-economic dynamics, cost reductions, both limited and extensive, and a combination of these different scenarios.
We believe that the completed working capital events, our projected cash flows and the actions available to management to further control expenditure (particularly in respect of timing of capital works and labor costs, as necessary, provide the Company with sufficient working capital (including cash and cash equivalents) to mitigate the impact of inflationary pressures and consumer confidences, subject to the following key factors:
•the level of In-House sales activity (primarily sales of food and beverage);
•the continued high level of membership retention and renewals, with members continuing their current spending patterns; and
•the implementation, and timely deployment, of cost containment and reductions measures that are aligned with the anticipated levels of capacity.
Furthermore, available cash as a result of completed financing events, includes the exercising of an option in March 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 $90 million (see Note 11, Debt, for additional information). In May 2023, we have also refinanced our Soho Beach House Miami property mortgage, borrowing approximately $20 million of additional net funds (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 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 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023.
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. The changes in the balance of accumulated other comprehensive income loss, net of income tax, are attributable solely to the net change in 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”): Ned-Soho House, LLP and Soho Works Limited.
Ned-Soho House, LLP
The Ned-Soho House, LLP joint venture maintains a management agreement to operate The Ned Hotel in London, which is owned by unconsolidated related parties to the Company. Management fees are recognized in other revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has a higher economic interest in Ned-Soho House, LLP as compared to its related party venture partner and therefore the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary.
Soho Works Limited
The Soho Works Limited (“SWL”) joint venture develops and operates Soho-branded, membership-based co-working spaces, with nine sites currently in operation in the UK. The joint venture agreement relates to the UK only. The joint venture was formed on September 29, 2017, when the Company granted to two unrelated individuals an option to subscribe for 30% of the issued shares of SWL. The option has not yet been exercised and, consequently, the Company has 100% economic interest in SWL. Upon exercise of the option, the Company would have 70% economic interest in SWL. The options carry voting rights such that the Company and other joint venture partners each hold 50% of the voting rights in respect of shareholder resolutions and certain reserved matters as defined in the joint venture agreement. The Company is determined to be the

primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct all significant activities of the joint venture.
The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and classification of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities included in the consolidated balance sheets. The obligations of the consolidated VIEs are non-recourse to the Company, and the assets of the VIEs can be used only to settle those obligations.

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 1, 2023. 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.

The Company has entered into various lease agreements for its Houses, hotels, restaurants, spas and other properties across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, which includes 13 equipment leases. 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 July 2, 2023, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for 118 operating leases and 3 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.

Straight-line rent expense recognized as part of In-House operating expenses for operating leases was $37 million and $31 million for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively, and $73 million and $65 million for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively.
For the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, the Company recognized amortization expense related to the right-of-use asset for finance leases of less than $1 million and less than $1 million, respectively, and interest expense related to finance leases of $1 million and $1 million, respectively. There were no material variable lease payments for finance leases for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022.
New Houses typically have a maturation profile that commences sometime after the lease commencement date used in the determination of the lease accounting in accordance with Topic 842. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets set out the operating lease liabilities split between sites trading less than one year and sites trading more than one year. “Sites trading less than one year” and “sites trading more than one year” reference sites that have been open (as measured from the date the site first accepted a paying guest) for a period less than one year from the balance sheet date and those that have been open for a period longer than one year from the balance sheet date.

As of July 2, 2023, the Company has entered into 15 operating lease agreements that are signed but have not commenced. Of these, 11 relate to Houses, hotels, restaurants, and other properties that are in various stages of construction by the landlord. The Company will determine the classification as of the lease commencement date, but currently expects these under construction leases to be operating leases. Soho House Design (“SHD”) is involved to varying degrees in the design of these leased properties under construction. The Company does not control the underlying assets under construction. Pending significant completion of all landlord improvements and final execution of the related lease, the Company expects these leases to commence in fiscal years ending 2023, 2024, and 2026.

Debt
The descriptions below show the financial instrument amounts in the currency of denomination with USD equivalent in parentheses, where applicable, translated using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the respective transaction.
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. During the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, the Company repaid the entire outstanding balance of the facility with proceeds from our initial public offering (the "IPO"). As of July 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023, £71 million ($90 million) and £71 million ($86 million) is available to draw under this facility, with £4 million ($5 million) 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 less than $1 million and $1 million on this facility during the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively, and $1 million and $2 million during the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively. On November 15, 2021, Soho House Bond Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into the First Amended and Restated Revolving Facility Agreement (the "First Amendment"). The First Amendment amended the Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, change the reference rate under the Revolving Credit Facility for borrowings denominated in pounds sterling from a LIBOR-based rate to a SONIA-based rate and to transition reporting from accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom to US GAAP. The First Amendment also reset the Company's Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) test levels, scaling from zero at December 31, 2021 to £32 million ($39 million, if translated using the average exchange rate in effect during the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023) after June 30, 2022. On February 11, 2022, Soho House Bond Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Facility Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), which amends and restates the Revolving Credit Facility. The Second Amendment amends the Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date from January 25, 2023 to January 25, 2024. On November 10, 2022, Soho House Bond Limited, entered into the Third Amended and Restated Revolving Facility Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), which further 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. In addition, the Third Amendment provides that from March 2023 we are required to maintain certain leverage covenants (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) which are applicable when 40% or more of the facility is drawn. As of July 2, 2023, the facility remains undrawn.
In 2017, Soho Works Limited entered into a term loan facility agreement. The SWL loan bears interest at 7% and matures, following the extensions described below, at the earliest of: (a) September 29, 2024; (b) the date of disposal of the whole or substantial part of the Soho Works Limited; (c) the date of sale by the shareholders of the entire issued share capital of Soho Works Limited to a third party; (d) the date of the admission of Soho Works Limited to any recognized investment exchange or multi-lateral trading facility; and (e) any later date that the two individuals may determine in their sole discretion. During fiscal 2022, Soho Works Limited drew an additional £3 million ($3 million) under the facility. The carrying amount of the term loan was £20 million ($26 million) and £20 million ($25 million) as of July 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023, respectively. The Company incurred interest expense of $1 million and $1 million on this facility during the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively. On March 3, 2023, this loan was subsequently extended and the maturity date is now September 29, 2024 after having previously been extended to

As of July 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023 and for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022
September 29, 2023 by an amendment entered into on March 11, 2022. The Company has determined a current classification of this loan is appropriate as it best reflects the substance of the agreement with the lenders given that the loan extension period is short-term in nature (12 months).
In January 2018, the Company entered into leases in connection with its Greek Street properties. As part of these leases, the landlord has funded a principal amount of £5 million ($7 million), which represents costs paid directly by the landlord which will be repaid by the Company. Amounts funded by the landlord prior to the lease inception date were initially reflected as accrued liabilities and subsequently converted into long-term debt upon execution of the respective agreements. The Greek Street loans carry interest of 7.5%, are due for repayment in January 2028 and are unsecured. The Company incurred interest expense of less than $1 million during each of the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively.
On March 31, 2021, Soho House Bond Limited issued pursuant to a Notes Purchase Agreement senior secured notes, which were subscribed for by certain funds managed, sponsored or advised by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC or its affiliates, in aggregate amounts equal to $295 million, €62 million ($73 million) and £53 million ($73 million) (the “Initial Notes”). The Notes Purchase Agreement included an option to issue, and a commitment on the part of the purchasers to subscribe for, further notes in one or several issuances on or prior to March 31, 2022 in an aggregate amount of up to $100 million (the “Additional Notes” and, together with the Initial Notes, the “Senior Secured Notes”). The Additional Notes were issued for the full $100 million on March 9, 2022. The Senior Secured Notes mature on March 31, 2027 and bear interest at a fixed rate equal to a cash margin of 2.0192% per annum for the Initial Notes or 2.125% per annum for any Additional Notes, plus a payment-in-kind (capitalized) margin of 6.1572% per annum for the Initial Notes or 6.375% per annum for any Additional Notes. The Senior Secured Notes issued pursuant to the Notes Purchase Agreement may be redeemed and prepaid for cash, in whole or in part, at any time in accordance with the terms thereof, subject to payment of redemption fees. The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed and secured on substantially the same basis as our Revolving Credit Facility. The Company incurred interest expense of $13 million and $12 million on the Senior Secured Notes during the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively, and $25 million and $22 million during the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively.
On June 1, 2021, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a development funding agreement with Dorncroft Limited, the landlord of Soho Farmhouse. The agreement provided a commitment of up to £9 million ($12 million) for certain improvements at the Farmhouse property. Interest on the balance drawn under the agreement accrued at an annual rate of 7.9% per annum and was added to the loan principal balance. The facility expired on July 31, 2022, and the outstanding loan balance converted to a finance lease. The Company incurred interest expense of less than $1 million during the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2022.
The other loans consist of the following:

Property Mortgage Loans
In March 2014, the Company completed a freehold property acquisition of the Soho Beach House Miami Property. In February 2019, the Company refinanced an existing term loan and mezzanine loan associated with a March 2014 acquisition of Soho Beach House Miami with a term loan of $55 million, interest at 5.34%, and mezzanine loan of $62 million, interest at 7.25%, secured on the underlying property and operations of Soho Beach House Miami maturing in February 2024. The Company incurred interest expense of $1 million and $2 million on these facilities during the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively, and $3 million and $4 million during the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively.
In May 2023, the Company refinanced the existing term loan and mezzanine loan with a new $140 million loan agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank, National Association and Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. (the "Lenders"). As a result of the debt extinguishment of the existing term loan and mezzanine loan, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3 million which is reported in interest expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023. The new term loan is secured with a recorded and insured first priority mortgage on Soho Beach House Miami Property as well as first priority security interests in all collateral related to the property. The new term loan matures in June 2033 and bears interest at 6.99%. The Company incurred interest expense of $2 million on the new term loan during the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023. As a condition of closing the refinancing transaction, the Company was required to provide certain level of insurance coverage over the Soho Beach House Miami property. $40 million was held in escrow until the required insurance policies and coverage were enacted. The required policies were put in place in late June 2023; however, as of July 2, 2023, the restriction had not been lifted by the Lenders. The Company reported the $40 million held in escrow as restricted cash on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 2, 2023 and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flow for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023. This restriction has been subsequently lifted and the cash remitted to the Company. Refer to Note 19, Subsequent Events, for further information on the lifting of the restriction.

12.Fair Value Measurements
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 July 2, 2023 or January 1, 2023.
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 July 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023 using a discounted cash flow analysis, except for the property mortgage loan as of July 2, 2023. 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 July 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023. The Company believes that the carrying value of the property mortgage loan (excluding debt issuance costs of $3 million as of July 2, 2023) closely approximate the fair value of such term loan given the proximity of the initial issuance of the property mortgage loan to the period-end date.
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 2024 and thereafter:

13.Share-Based Compensation
In August 2020, the Company established the 2020 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) under which SHHL Share Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) and SHHL Growth Shares were issued to certain employees. The awards are settled in SHHL ordinary D shares and the Company can grant up to 9,978,143 ordinary D shares of SHHL under the 2020 Plan. In connection with the IPO in July 2021, 25% of the outstanding awards accelerated in accordance with the original plan and all of the outstanding awards were exchanged into awards that will be settled in Class A common stock of SHCO. As a result of the exchange, 7,127,246 SHHL SARs were converted into 6,023,369 SHCO SARs and 2,850,897 SHHL Growth Shares were converted into 781,731 SHCO restricted stock awards. The exchanged awards are subject to the same vesting conditions as the original awards. As of July 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023, there were 4,536,111 and 5,290,719 SARs outstanding under the 2020 Plan, respectively. As of July 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023, there were 130,289 and 146,574 SHCO restricted stock awards outstanding under the 2020 Plan, respectively.
In July 2021, the Company established its 2021 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan allows for grants of nonqualified stock options, SARs, and RSUs or performance awards. There were 12,107,333 shares initially available for all awards under the 2021 Plan and the shares

These amounts were settled in cash and are not included in additional paid-in capital or as an adjustment to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
The weighted-average assumptions used in valuing SARs and restricted stock awards (previously zero granted as Growth Shares) granted during each period are set forth in the following table:
| | | | | |
| For the 26 Weeks Ended July 2, 2023 | | For the Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2023 |
Expected average life(1) | 5.55 - 5.56 years | | | 3.92 - 6.30 years | |
Expected volatility(2) | 55 - 57 | % | | 56 | % |
Risk-free interest rate(3) | 3.54 - 3.83 | % | | 3.78 - 4.25 | % |
Expected dividend yield(4) | 0.00 | % | | 0.00 | % |
(1)The expected life assumption is based on the Company's expectation for the period before exercise.
(2)The expected volatility assumption is developed using leverage-adjusted historical volatilities for public peer companies for the period equal to the expected life of the awards.
(3)The risk-free rate is based on the bootstrap adjusted US Treasury Rate Yield Curve Rate as of the valuation date, term matched with expected life of the awards.
(4)The expected dividend yield is 0.0% since the Company does not expect to pay dividends.
As of July 2, 2023, total compensation expense not yet recognized is as follows:
•With respect to the unvested SARs issued under the 2020 Plan and 2021 plans, approximately $5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.36 years;
•With respect to the unvested restricted stock awards (Growth Shares) issued under the 2020 Plan, approximately less than $1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of less than one year; and
•With respect to the unvested RSUs issued under the 2021 Plan, approximately $14 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.92 years.

Stock Repurchase Program
On March 18, 2022, the Company’s board of directors and a relevant sub-committee thereof authorized and approved a stock repurchase program for up to $50 million of the then currently outstanding shares of the Company's Class A common stock. The timing and amount of stock repurchases depended on a variety of factors. Under the program, the repurchased shares were returned to the status of authorized, but unissued shares of common stock held in treasury at their average cost of repurchase. During the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2022, the Company repurchased a total of 2,254,505 and 2,579,477 shares of Class A common stock for $17 million and $20 million, including commissions, respectively. The repurchase plan upper limit of $50 million was met in December 2022 and as such there were no further stock repurchases under the above plan subsequent to December 2022.
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.

15.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.
For the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, there have been no material changes in the Company’s estimates or provisions for income taxes recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Full valuation allowances have been recorded against the incremental deferred tax assets recognized for tax losses, share-based compensation, and excess interest in the U.K., U.S. and Hong Kong. The level of unrecognized tax benefits has increased by $9 million and $16 million in the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, respectively. There is no impact on the Company’s effective tax rate for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023 as there is a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance applied for the period.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As of July 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023 and for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022
The effective tax rate for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023 was (143.82)%, compared to (0.61)% for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2022. The effective tax rate for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023 was (6.88)% compared to (0.04)% for the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2022. The effective tax rate for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023 differs from the US statutory rate of 21% primarily due to current mix of positive and negative earnings in the various jurisdictions the Company operates in and valuation allowances which reduce the amount of tax benefit recognized on the pretax book loss. As a result, the Company is calculating current tax charges in the profitable jurisdictions over a break-even consolidated loss for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023.
The Company’s core operations comprise of Houses and restaurants across a number of territories, which are managed on a geographical basis. There is a segment managing director for each of North America, and the UK, Europe and Rest of the World (“RoW”) who is responsible for Houses, hotels and restaurants in that region. Each operating segment manager reports directly to the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), which comprises of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer - Americas combined. 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 Retail, Soho Works, and Cities Without Houses operating segments also have segment managers which report directly to the CODM and are managed separately from the Houses and hotels in each region.
The Company has identified the following three reportable segments:
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.
Intercompany revenues and costs among the reportable segments are not material and accounted for as if the sales were to third parties because these items are based on negotiated fees between the segments involved. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Intercompany revenues and costs between entities within a reportable segment are eliminated to arrive at segment totals. Segment revenue includes revenue of certain equity method investments, which are considered stand-alone operating segments, which are therefore not included in revenues as part of these consolidated financial statements. Eliminations between segments are separately presented. Corporate results include amounts related to Corporate functions such as administrative costs and professional fees. Income tax expense is managed by Corporate on a consolidated basis and is not allocated to the reportable segments.
The Company manages and assesses the performance of the reportable segments by adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, adjusted to take account of the impact of certain non-cash and other items that the Company does not consider in its evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These other items include, but are not limited to, loss (gain) on sale of property and other, net, share of loss (profit) of equity method investments, foreign exchange, pre-opening expenses, non-cash rent, deferred registration fees, net, share of equity method investments adjusted EBITDA, share-based compensation expense, and certain other expenses.
The following tables present disaggregated revenue for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022 and the key financial metrics reviewed by the CODM for the Company’s reportable segments:

Overview
Our Membership Platform
Soho House & Co 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 Soho House & Co platform to both work and socialize, to connect, create, have fun and drive a positive change. On March 17, 2023, we changed our corporate name from Membership Collective Group Inc. to Soho House & Co Inc., which became effective on March 20, 2023. Prior to the change of our corporate name, our stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “MCG”. From March 20, 2023, our common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “SHCO”.
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 28 years, we have significantly expanded our membership expertise and diversified our offerings—both physically and digitally. As of July 2, 2023, we have approximately 248,100 members (including approximately 176,300 Soho House members) who engage with us through our global portfolio of 41 Soho Houses, 9 Soho Works, Scorpios Beach Club in Mykonos, Soho Home, our interiors and lifestyle retail brand, and our digital channels. The Ned hotels in London, New York and Doha and the LINE and Saguaro hotels in North America also form part of Soho House & Co's wider portfolio.
Our central pillar is Soho House, which drives the majority of our membership and revenue today. 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 Soho House App and our website. Our vision for the Soho House 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, make payments, and connect with each other. 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 Soho House & Co, 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 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 28-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 and property 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.
•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 global wait list, which as of July 2, 2023 stands at approximately 95,000. 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.
Membership Revenues are comprised of annual membership fees and one-time initial registration fees paid by members. In-House Revenues include all revenues realized within our Houses, including food and beverage, accommodation, and spa products and treatments. Other Revenues include all revenues not realized within our Houses, including Scorpios, Soho Works and stand-alone restaurants, design and procurement fees from SHD and Soho Home among others. We view Membership Revenues and In-House Revenues as interrelated, insofar as although there is no minimum spend for any member on our In-House offerings that generate In-House Revenues. In practice the significant majority of In-House Revenues are generated by our members, and the pricing of our In-House offerings reflects that accordingly, with pricing of such In-House offerings being identical for both members and non-members.
Our Membership Platform
All of our memberships have been built to enrich the lives of their members, as well as expand our membership offering to a broader audience.
Soho House
Soho House remains at the core of our membership platform by creating a foundation upon which additional membership businesses can be built and scaled. While our physical Houses provide our foundation, the people inside them are the soul of Soho House. As a membership founded for the creative industries, we are proud to have championed members who have gone on to shape our cultural landscape as world class writers, artists, performers, directors, founders, designers, and producers – all reflecting the spirit and energy of Soho House.
The membership of each House is assembled by a select committee of influential creatives and innovators that represent the local area in which the membership is founded. Our members actively engage in creating the culture of each House, helping to shape and localize it by participating in member events and contributing to editorial and digital content. We believe this adds to the value of each House, enriching the membership and enhancing the attractiveness of membership to prospective members worldwide. With a new US Every House annual membership fee of approximately $4,500, 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” (26 years old and younger) and “Millennials” (27- to 42-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 revenue
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
30
intelligence for future growth, which we have employed to open new Houses in certain locations, including Copenhagen, Denmark (July 2022), Stockholm, Sweden (December 2022) and Bangkok, Thailand (February 2023). As of July 2, 2023, we had approximately 8,400 CWH members across 80 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 approximately $130. We offer access to physical spaces, including Soho House bedrooms, 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 July 2, 2023, we had 65,718 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 consistent 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 primarily 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 July 2, 2023, we had 6,048 members. Soho Works membership rates vary by location and Soho House membership status. For Soho House members, a US Soho Works membership fee ranges from $400 to $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 2024.
The Ned
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”) including Ned’s Friends is aimed at a broader group of professional people. As of July 2, 2023, Ned’s Club London has approximately 3,100 members. In June 2022, The Ned NoMad in New York opened which covers 117,000 square feet and includes a Ned’s Club, Cecconi's restaurant, as well as 167 bedrooms. As of July 2, 2023, The Ned NoMad has approximately 1,500 members. The Ned in Doha opened in November 2022, which as of July 2, 2023 had approximately 500 members. The Ned offers its members The Ned’s Club app, which 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, Palm Springs, and San Francisco (opened September 2022), and among them offer a variety of food and beverage offerings together with approximately 1,500 hotel rooms. We receive management fees under hotel management contract for the operation of these hotels. The transaction has broadened 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.

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 Revenues 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, 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 17, 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 noncontrolling interest in a joint venture or (iii) 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-on-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 Adult Paying 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 Adult Paying Members who have elected to suspend their membership payments on a six, nine- or twelve-month basis during which period the member is not able to gain access to a Soho House site as a member, access our membership Apps, or book bedrooms or Cowshed treatments or products on discounted member rates. Frozen Members are not included in Adult Paying Members, but are included in the total number of Soho House members.
MEMBERSHIP REVENUES. Membership Revenues are comprised of House Membership Revenues (as defined below) and Non-House Membership Revenues (as defined below). House Membership Revenues and Non-House Membership Revenues are each comprised primarily of annual membership fees and one-time registration fees which are amortized over 20 years. The one-time registration fee is no longer applicable to new members admitted from April 4,
32
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 have been 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 to purchase 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 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 to the extent that they are unredeemed, are recognized. 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 Adult Paying 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, 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 revenues, Soho Friends membership revenue and SOHO HOME+ membership revenues, 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.
AVERAGE DAILY RATE ("ADR"). Average Daily Rate represents the average rental income per paid occupied room. We believe this is a meaningful indicator of our performance.
REVENUE PER AVAILABLE ROOM ("RevPAR"). The key industry standard for measuring hotel-operating performance is RevPAR, which is calculated by multiplying the percentage of occupied rooms to available rooms by the ADR realized. We believe RevPAR is a meaningful indicator of our performance because it measures the period-over-period change in room revenues for comparable properties. RevPAR may not be comparable to similarly titled measures, such as revenues, and should not be viewed as necessarily correlating with our revenue. We also believe occupancy and ADR, which are components of calculating RevPAR, are meaningful indicators of our performance. Where this is presented on a like-for like basis, RevPAR is adjusted for new or divested sites, for example Houses that were not open in the comparison period.
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 percent 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 35% to $89,193 for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023 predominantly driven by an increase in Adult Paying Members of 25%, or 28,500, who joined after the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Additionally, the Soho House Every House membership fee was increased at the start of fiscal 2022 which impacted existing Every House members on their renewal date throughout fiscal 2022. This increased Membership Revenue as compared to the second quarter in fiscal 2022 was driven by membership renewals which took place following this period as these are now at a higher price point in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 versus the comparative period.
All Soho House Adult paying fees were also increased in January 2023, with a mid single-digit price rise generally for existing members and a low double-digit increase in price for new members. This increase will impact new members on the date they join and existing members on their renewal date.
There was also an increase in Non-House Membership revenues of $1,268, following the increase in the number of Soho Friends, with approximately 21,000 additional Non-House members in comparison to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
North America segment saw an increase in membership revenues of $9,892, or 31% , due to approximately 9,000, or 19% increase in Adult Paying Soho House members year-on-year, with the opening of Soho House Holloway (previously known as Holloway House), Los Angeles (May 2022) and Miami Pool House (December 2022), respectively, as well as growth across all existing Houses. The impact of the 2022 Every House membership fee increase as noted above also contributed to the increase in Membership revenues year-on-year.
Our United Kingdom segment saw an increase in Membership revenues of $7,016, or 38% , due to approximately 10,000, or 21% increase in Adult Paying Soho House members, driven by growth in existing Houses and the opening of Soho House Balham in third quarter fiscal 2022, coupled with the impact of the 2022 Every House membership fee increase as noted above. In constant currency, Membership revenues in the United Kingdom segment increased by $6,856, or 37%.
The Europe/RoW segment saw an increase in Membership revenues of $3,541, or 58% (57% constant currency), due to approximately 8,000, or 49% increase in Adult paying members, predominantly from the opening of two new Houses in the second half of fiscal 2022; Copenhagen (July 2022) and Stockholm (December 2022), and the opening of Soho House Bangkok in February 2023, as well as the revenue impact of the 2022 Every House membership fee increase as noted above. In constant currency, Membership revenues in the Europe/ROW segment increased by $3,488, or 57% .
All Other saw an increase in Membership revenues, predominantly driven by over 2,100, or 39% more CWH Adult Paying Members as well as approximately 21,000 additional Non-House members in comparison to the second quarter of fiscal 2022. In constant currency, All Other Membership revenues increased by $2,777, or 31%.

In-House revenues were $125,480 for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023, an increase of $15,795 versus the comparative period in 2022. The increase was driven by increased footfall year-on-year in existing sites, further boosted by the five new Houses opened since second quarter fiscal 2022, as well as higher spend per visit at some of our Houses.
North America In-House revenues were $50,439 for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023, an increase of $1,674 versus the comparative quarter in 2022. We have seen higher sales volume in second quarter fiscal 2023 coupled with select price increases resulting in an increase in In-House revenues year-on-year. Additionally, the opening of Soho House Holloway (May 2022) has further boosted In-House revenues.
In-House revenues in our United Kingdom segment increased by $6,526 versus second quarter 2022, driven by the opening of Little House Balham, London (July 2022), and strong growth in Brighton year-on-year post opening (March 2022). Additionally, sales volumes increased from higher footfall and strong accommodation revenues driven by growth across our UK properties. In constant currency, In-House Revenues in the United Kingdom segment increased by $6,164, or 15%.
The Europe/RoW segment saw significant increase of In-House revenues year-on-year, driven by new openings, including Soho House Copenhagen (July 2022), Soho House Stockholm (December 2022) and Soho House Bangkok (February 2023). Strong revenue growth from accommodation performance versus the comparative quarter in 2022. In constant currency, In-House Revenues in the Europe/RoW segment increased by $7,428.

Other revenues were $74,250 for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023, compared to $68,196 for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2022, an increase of $6,054. The increase is predominantly driven by additional revenues from sites that have opened since the end of the comparative quarter, including Ned Doha, Ned NoMad, New York and Cecconi's Bicester, Oxfordshire. This is coupled with an increase in Soho Home revenues and growth in management fees from Soho House Istanbul, as well as receipt of a lease promote, further detail below, and development fees.
Other revenues in the North America segment have increased $483, or 3% versus second quarter fiscal 2022 predominantly driven by additional revenues related to the management fees from Ned NoMad, New York which opened in June 2022 and revenues from the Willows Inn, Palm Springs which the Company started operating in September 2022, offset by fewer ticket sales for the Coachella event, due to a reduction in length of the event, from two weekends to one, versus the comparative quarter in 2022.
The United Kingdom segment saw an increase in Other revenues of $3,808, or 32% versus second quarter fiscal 2022 predominantly driven by accommodation, with an increase in RevPAR across all sites, in particular Dean Street Townhouse and Little House Apartments.
Other revenues in the Europe/RoW segment have increased compared to second quarter fiscal 2022 due to additional management fees from Soho House Istanbul year-on-year, as well as management fees from the Ned Doha which opened in November 2022. In constant currency, Other Revenues in the Europe/RoW segment increased by $681, or 6%.
Other revenues in All Other have increased due to increased revenues from our Soho Home offering due to the opening of two additional sites in London (June 2022) and Los Angeles (August 2022), as well as an increase of 40% year-on-year in online sales. Additionally, during the second quarter, we recognized $3 million in respect of a lease promote in our Rome property from our landlord. As part of our lease agreements, we often include a promote clause which entitles the Company to a share of any gain in the value of the property during our tenancy.
In constant currency, Other Revenues increased by $5,461, or 8%.

In-House Operating Expenses were $152,353 for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023, an increase of $20,680. The increase is a result of the five new Houses opened since second quarter 2022. The increase year-on-year was also driven by wage inflation and retention initiatives across all regions in the second half of fiscal 2022, as well as energy increases in all markets. In constant currency, In-House Operating Expenses increased by $19,536.
House-Level Contribution, which is defined as House Revenues less In-House Operating Expenses, was $53,242 for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023, compared to $36,632 for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2022, an increase of $16,610. The increase in House-Level Contribution predominantly relates to increased Soho House membership revenues year-on-year and strong flow through from accommodation revenue, as well as the improvement in trading conditions across all regions, especially in UK which saw a strong improvement in contribution year-on-year.
House-Level Contribution Margin was 26% for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023, an increase of 4% from the prior period due to increased membership revenues, all regions drove incremental margin points versus the comparative period.

Other Operating Expenses were $66,226 for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023, compared to $62,758 for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2022, an increase of $3,468, or 6%. The increase year-on-year is predominantly driven by trade volumes in Soho Home, following the opening of two additional retail sites and a 40% increase in online sales year-on-year, largely offset by the permanent closure of all but one of our Soho Restaurants sites at the start of fiscal 2023 and the reduction in spend on the Coachella event versus comparative period due to the reduced schedule from two weekends to one. In constant currency, Other Operating Expenses increased by $2,923, or 5%.
Other Contribution, which we define as Other Revenues plus Non-House Membership Revenues less Other Operating Expenses, was $17,102 for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023, compared to $12,707 for the comparative period, an increase of $4,395. Other Contribution Margin was 21% for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023, an increase of 4% compared to the prior period. The increase in both absolute Other Contribution and Margin is predominantly driven by higher Non-House Membership Revenues year-on-year due to an additional 21,000 Non-House members, strong accommodation flow through from townhouses, better Coachella performance, as well as the receipt of the lease promote described above, in the second quarter.

Share-based compensation expense increased by $1,383 to $5,657 for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023, primarily driven by RSUs that were granted and partially vested in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 (impact of $1,407). There was no equivalent grant or vest in second quarter of 2022.
Foreign exchange, net which is unrealized and non-cash in nature, moved from a $57,176 loss to a gain of $(21,584) for the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2023, primarily driven by foreign exchange revaluation of our borrowings.

Membership revenues increased by 38% (44% constant currency) to $172,441 for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023 predominantly driven by an increase of approximately 28,500 Adult Paying Soho House members joining after the end of the first half of fiscal 2022. Additionally, the Soho House Every House membership fee was increased at the start of fiscal 2022 which impacted existing Every House members on their renewal date throughout fiscal 2022.
All Soho House Adult paying fees were also increased in January 2023, with a mid single-digit price rise generally for existing members and a low double-digit increase in price for new members. This increase will impact new members on the date they join and existing members on their renewal date, and did not have had a significant material impact at the end second quarter fiscal 2023.
There was also an increase in Non-House Membership revenues, following the increase in the number of Soho Friends, with approximately 21,000 additional Non-House members in comparison to the end of the first half of fiscal 2022.
North America segment saw an increase in revenues of $21,870, or 36% , due to an increase of approximately 9,000, or 19%, Adult Paying Members versus the comparable period, including the opening of Soho House Holloway, Los Angeles (May 2022) and Miami Pool House (December 2022), as well as increased membership numbers across all existing Houses versus the first half of fiscal 2022.
Our United Kingdom segment saw an increase in Membership revenues of $13,542, or 38% (43% constant currency), due to the opening of Soho House Balham in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and Brighton Beach House in March 2022, growth in existing Houses, coupled with the increases in Every House membership fees in fiscal year 2022 and 2023.
The Europe/RoW segment saw an increase in Membership revenues of $6,626, or 56% (62% constant currency), due to an increase in Adult Paying Members, predominantly from the opening of two new Houses in the second half of fiscal 2022; Copenhagen (July 2022) and Stockholm (December 2022) and Soho House Bangkok (February 2023) in fiscal 2023.
Membership revenue reported under All Other above saw an increase predominantly driven by growth in CWH Adult Paying Members and over 21,000 additional Non-House members in comparison to the first half of fiscal 2022.
In constant currency, Membership revenues increased by $52,493, or 44%.

In-House revenues were $241,558 for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, an increase of $44,118 versus the comparative period in 2022. The increase was driven by higher sales volumes year-on-year, with the Omicron variant of COVID-19 impacting the start of fiscal 2022. Additionally, In-House revenues have been boosted by five new Houses openings since the second quarter of fiscal 2022, alongside select price increases across our In-House offerings.
Our North America segment saw an increase in In-House revenues versus the comparative half. We have seen higher sales volumes in fiscal 2023 coupled with select price increases resulting in an increase in In-House revenues year-on-year. Additionally, the opening of Soho House Holloway (May 2022) has further boosted In-House revenues. Little Beach House Malibu was shut for almost seven weeks in the comparative quarter following a fire at the site.

In-House revenues in our United Kingdom segment increased driven by flow through from additional members, increases in RevPAR across sites and the opening of Little House Balham, London (July 2022) and Brighton Beach House (March 2022).
The Europe/RoW segment saw significant increase of In-House revenues year-on-year driven from new openings, including Soho House Copenhagen (July 2022), Soho House Stockholm (December 2022) and Soho House Bangkok (February 2023) and improved RevPAR year-on-year. In addition to this, during the first half of fiscal 2023 we recognized approximately $1,800 from the Dutch government related to COVID-19 subsidies and approximately $1,100 settlement to recover costs incurred on behalf of a former development partner in connection to an upcoming European House opening.
In constant currency, In-House Revenues increased by $51,585.

Other revenues were $130,133 for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, compared to $113,676 for the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2022, an increase of $16,457. The increase is predominantly driven by additional sites that have opened since the end of the comparative period, including Ned Doha, Ned NoMad, New York and Cecconi's Bicester, Oxfordshire. This is coupled with an increase in Soho Home revenues of 45% versus the comparative period, and growth in management fees from Soho House Mumbai and Soho House Istanbul.
Additionally, we recognized $3 million in respect of a lease promote in our Rome property from our landlord. As part of our lease agreements, we often include a promote clause which entitles the Company to any gain in the value of the property during our tenancy.
This is offset slightly by the reduction in revenues relating to the Coachella Event, which took place over one weekend versus two weekends in the comparable period in fiscal 2022, and the closure of all but one of our Soho Restaurant properties at the start of fiscal 2023.
In constant currency, Other Revenues had increased by $20,756.

In-House Operating Expenses were $296,325 for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, an increase of $54,657, driven by five additional House openings and increased wage and energy costs year-on-year. In constant currency, In-House Operating Expenses increased by $63,796.
House-Level Contribution, which is defined as House Revenues less In-House Operating Expenses, was $99,960 for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, compared to $66,378 for the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2022, an increase of $33,582. The increase in House-Level Contribution related to increased Soho House membership revenues and strong flow through of accommodation revenue. This increase is partially offset by the opening of five additional Houses since the first half of fiscal 2022, with Houses tending to have negative contribution in their first year as the House matures.
House-Level Contribution Margin was 25% for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, an increase of 3% from the prior period due to increased membership revenues and higher trading in the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2022 compared to the prior period, partially offset by the dilutive impact of five new Houses.

Other Operating Expenses were $122,607 for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, compared with $110,391 for the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2022, an increase of $12,216, or 11%. This increase is primarily driven by increased trade volume in Soho Home from additional sites and online year-on-year sales growth. In addition to this, new restaurant and hotel sites in the UK and North America resulted in increased costs. This was offset by a reduction in the Coachella event spend versus comparable half and the permanent closure of all but one of our Soho Restaurants sites at the start of fiscal 2023. In constant currency, Other Operating Expenses increased by $16,391, or 15%.
Other Contribution, which we define as Other Revenues plus Non-House Membership Revenues less Other Operating Expenses, was $25,240 for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, compared to $17,341 for the comparative period, an increase of $7,899. This was predominately driven by higher Non-House Membership Revenues year-on-year, as well as increase from high margin revenue streams, including partnerships, and management fees from our Ned and Soho House management contracts Additionally, in the first half fiscal 2023 there was the receipt of a lease promote, detailed above.
Other Contribution Margin was 17% for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, an increase of 3% compared to the prior period, predominately driven by Home.

Share-based compensation expense decreased by $574 to $11,503 for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, primarily driven by relatively short vesting RSUs that vested in the first half of fiscal 2022 (impact of $3,195) and the lack of vesting of the RSU and Growth Share awards to our former Chief Operating Officer who departed the Company in Q4 2022 (impact of $700). This was partially offset by new grants of SARs and the continued impact of the fourth quarter 2022 repricing of previously granted SARs (total impact of $1,500) as well as the grant and vesting impact of RSU awards to senior leaders (impact of $500). Also offsetting this is an RSUs grant which partially vested in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 (impact of $1,407).
Foreign exchange (gain) loss, net, which is unrealized and non-cash in nature, moved by $108,847 to $(34,597) for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, primarily driven by foreign exchange revaluation of our borrowings, which have increased since the preceding period. Decreased foreign exchange volatility during the period has also contributed to this most notably on our dollar borrowings held by non-dollar Group undertakings. While 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 $69 to $1,008 for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, which is not materially significant.

Net Interest Expense was $40,728 for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, an increase of $6,233, or 18%, on the comparative period in 2022. This increase is driven by the incremental interest expense incurred following issuance of $100 million additional notes in March 2022 under the Goldman Sachs Senior Secured Note facility and the incremental interest expense incurred following the refinancing of mortgage debt on Soho Beach House Miami in May 2023, including a $3 million loss on extinguishment of debt.

The increase is driven by higher membership revenues from both Soho House and Non-House members versus the comparative period as well as increased operations following the removal of COVID-19 related restrictions especially in Europe and Hong Kong in the comparative period. Additionally, the Company recognized a Dutch government grant related to COVID-19 subsidies, which we only became eligible for in the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, and a lease

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 July 2, 2023, we maintained a cash and cash equivalents balance of $129 million and a restricted cash balance of $48 million. Refer to Note 11, Debt and Note 19, Subsequent Events in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the nature of the restricted cash.
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.
52
(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 taking account of repayment terms of our Miami property debt.
Cash Flows and Working Capital
The following table provides a summary of cash flow data for the periods presented:

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
The primary cash inflows from operating activities 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.
For the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, we had a $8,281 inflow of cash from operating activities, which includes a net loss of $18,303, depreciation and amortization of $49,713, and an unfavorable net working capital change of $19,105.
For the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2022, we had a $13,661 inflow of cash from operating activities, which includes a net loss of $144,181, depreciation and amortization of $45,519, and a favorable net working capital change of $10,506.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
The primary cash inflows from investing activities include the cash acquired as a result of acquisitions. The primary cash outflows from investing activities include the purchase of property and equipment, intangibles and the acquisition of noncontrolling interests.
For the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, we had a $40,774 outflow of cash from investing activities, primarily due to purchases of property and equipment of $33,313 and purchases of intangible assets of $8,823.
For the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2022, we had a $44,246 outflow of cash from investing activities, primarily due to purchases of property and equipment of $33,799 and purchases of intangible assets of $11,112.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
The primary cash inflows from financing activities include proceeds from borrowings and from the issuance of shares. The primary cash outflows from financing activities include principal payments on borrowings and payments to settle redeemable preferred shares.
For the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023, we had a $17,766 inflow of cash from financing activities, primarily due to the additional amount borrowed following the refinancing of the $117,000 Miami Property mortgage, comprising of the term loan of $55,000 and mezzanine loan of $62,000. The replacement property loan provided gross proceeds of $140,000 with issuance costs of $2,822 and extinguishment costs of $1,686. This provided a net inflow of $18,290. Refer to Note 11, Debt in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
For the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2022, we had a $84,589 inflow of cash from financing activities, primarily due to the proceeds from borrowings, net of debt issuance costs of $1 million, of $99 million related to the Goldman Sachs Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement. Refer to Note 11, Debt in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Cash Requirements from Contractual and Other Obligations
As of July 2, 2023, other than the refinancing of the existing term loan and mezzanine loan, as described above, with a new $140 million loan maturing in ten years time (refer to Note 11, Debt in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information), there have been no further 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 1, 2023.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
53
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 1, 2023.
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.
54
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 1, 2023.
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.
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 operation 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 $8 million lower and approximately $9 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 July 2, 2023.
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 July 2, 2023.
If the USD had strengthened/weakened by 10% versus the GBP, revenue would have been approximately $27 million lower and approximately $30 million higher, respectively, and Net Loss would have been approximately $1 million lower and approximately $1 million higher, respectively, for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023.
If the Euro had strengthened/weakened by 10% versus the GBP, revenue would have been approximately $6 million lower and approximately $6 million higher, respectively, and Net Loss would have been approximately $1 million lower and approximately less than $1 million higher, respectively, for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss from amounts owed by financial counter-parties. 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 July 2, 2023, we had $129 million in cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, $48 million of restricted cash and £71 million ($90 million) undrawn on the Revolving Credit Facility (subject to complying with our covenants) to meet our funding needs.
Cash Flow and Fair Value Interest Rate Risk
We have historically financed our operations through a mixture of bank borrowings and bond notes which are generally fixed, and expect to finance our operations through operating cash flows and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility. We seek to manage exposure to adverse interest rate changes through our normal operating and financing activities.
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 July 2, 2023 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 1, 2023, 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 1, 2023, because of the identification of two material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses related to (i) our lack of a sufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge and experience with the application of US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with our financial reporting requirements, including lease accounting; and (ii) the fact that policies and procedures with respect to the review, supervision and monitoring of our accounting and reporting functions, including IT general controls, were either not designed and in place, or not operating effectively. As a result, adjustments to our financial reporting were identified and made during the course of the audit process.
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 26 weeks ended July 2, 2023 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.

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 1, 2023, 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. 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.
