Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023
Soho House & Co Inc. is a global membership platform of physical and digital spaces that connects a vibrant, diverse group of members from across the world. Our members engage with us through our global portfolio of 45 Soho Houses, 8 Soho Works Clubs, The Ned hotel sites, The LINE and Saguaro hotels, Scorpios Beach Clubs, Soho Home and our digital channels.
The consolidated entity presented is referred to herein as “SHCO”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”, as the context requires and unless otherwise noted.
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, and long-lived assets. 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 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 December 31, 2023.
The results of operations for the 13- and 39-week periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation for at least a period of 12 months after the date these financial statements are issued, and contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
We have experienced net losses and significant cash outflows over the past years as we develop our Houses. During the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024, the Company reported a consolidated net income of $1 million and a consolidated net loss of $71 million, respectively. During the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024, the Company had net cash provided by operations of $63 million. As of September 29, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit balance of $1,448 million, cash and cash equivalents of $143 million, and a restricted cash balance of $4 million.
In assessing the going concern basis of preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024, 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.
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 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024.
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.
Impairment of Other Long-Lived Assets
The Company recognized $14 million of impairment losses on long-lived assets (comprised of $11 million in respect of Operating lease assets and $3 million of Property and equipment, net) during the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024. No impairment losses were recorded for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 1, 2023.
In the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2024, the Company identified a triggering impairment event due to the continued challenges in the cost of real estate and the decreased performance of various Soho Works locations in the USA. The Company performed an impairment analysis on four Soho Work sites in the United States. As a result of the third quarter of 2024 analysis, a $14 million non-cash impairment charge was recorded for these Soho Works sites. The high property costs associated with these locations being the primary factor of the asset impairment. The Company also identified a triggering impairment event in one of their UK restaurant sites. The non-cash impairment charge for the UK restaurant site was less than $1 million. The non-cash impairment charge is included in impairments of assets in the consolidated statement of operations for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2024.
The primary assumptions, which requires significant level of judgement, that affects the undiscounted cash flows determination is management's estimate of future revenues, operating margins, economic conditions and changes in the operating environment. The forecasts used in the impairment assessments was developed by management based on projected revenues derived largely from forecasted member attendance. Management also makes estimates on the expected costs and the expected operating lease costs. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the recoverability of the assets and may result in additional impairment charges.
Changes in the membership, operating margins and economic growth and the contracted operating rental costs beyond what has already been assumed in the assessments could cause management to revise the forecast and assumptions. Unfavorable revisions to these assumptions or estimates could possibly result in further impairment of some or all of the assets.

The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the following material variable interest entities (“VIEs”):Ned-Soho House, LLPThe 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 (Refer to Note 16, Related Party Transactions for further information). Management fees are recognized in other revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has a greater 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 LimitedThe Soho Works Limited (“SWL”) joint venture develops and operates Soho-branded, membership-based co-working spaces, with four 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 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.

On November 10, 2022, Soho House Bond Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Revolving Facility Agreement (the "Third Amendment") which further amends and restates the Revolving Credit Facility, originally entered into by the Company on December 5, 2019 (the original and amended facility refer to as 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 September 29, 2024, the facility remains undrawn with £71 million ($95 million) available to draw under this facility and £4 million ($6 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 less than $1 million in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility during the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, respectively, and $1 million and $1 million during the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, respectively.
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, 2025; (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 lenders may determine in their sole discretion. The carrying amount of the term loan was £22 million ($29 million) and £22 million ($28 million) as of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company incurred interest expense of $1 million and $1 million on this facility during the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, respectively, and $2 million and $2 million on this facility during the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, respectively. In March 2024, this loan was subsequently extended for a further 12 months. 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).
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 an aggregate amount of up to $100 million which were issued for the full amount on March 9, 2022 (the “Additional Notes” and, together with the Initial Notes, the “Senior Secured Notes”). 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 $14 million and $13 million during the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, respectively, and $41 million and $38 million during the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, respectively.

Property Mortgage Loans
In March 2014, the Company completed a freehold property acquisition of the Soho Beach House Miami Property. In May 2023, the Company refinanced the existing term loan of $55 million, interest at 5.34%, and mezzanine loan of $62 million, interest at 7.25% with a new $140 million loan agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank, National Association and Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. This 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 and $7 million on the new term loan during the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024. The Company incurred interest expense of $2 million and $2 million on these property mortgage loans during the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, respectively, and $7 million and $6 million during the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, respectively.

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 September 29, 2024 or December 31, 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 Senior Secured Notes and the property mortgage loans as of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023 using a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of the other non-current debt is estimated as of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023 using a discounted cash flow analysis, except for the Dean Street Loan and the Copenhagen Loan where fair value is estimated to be equal to the current carrying value of each instrument as of September 29, 2024 based on a comparison of each instrument's contractual terms to current market terms. The Company does not believe that the use of different market inputs would have resulted in a materially different fair value of debt as of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
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 2025 and thereafter:

The carrying values of the Company’s other non-current liabilities and non-current assets approximate their fair values.
Equity and incentive plans
The Company operates two equity and incentive plans for the benefit of its employees and directors. 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.
In July 2021, the Company established its 2021 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan allows for grants of non-qualified stock options, SARs, Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") and Performance Stock Units ("PSUs"). The PSUs generally vest (i) upon the completion of a minimum service period and (ii) the Company's achievement of certain performance goals established at grant. There were 12,107,333 shares initially available for all awards under the 2021 Plan and the shares available is permitted to increase annually on the first day of each calendar year, beginning with the calendar year ended December 31, 2022, subject to approval by the board of directors (the "board"). As of September 29, 2024, there were 2,276,725 shares available for future awards. The Company granted 904,916 new RSUs and 630,158 new PSUs under the 2021 Plan during the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024.
Modifications of awards made under the plans
19
In March 2024, the Company modified the exercise price for certain outstanding SARs to be $6.05 per share. As a result, the Company accounted for the modification as a Type I modification, resulting in $0.2 million of incremental fair value, which was recorded immediately as the awards were fully vested. The assumptions used in valuing SARs modified can be seen in the second table below.
Awards outstanding under the plan
As of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 1,316,961 and 2,327,384 RSUs outstanding under the 2021 Plan, respectively. As of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 6,177,985 and 6,498,915 SARs outstanding under the 2020 Plan and 2021 Plan, respectively. As of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 617,486 and zero PSUs outstanding under the 2021 Plan, respectively. As of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were zero restricted stock awards outstanding under the 2020 Plan, respectively.

one-for-one basis. Additionally, shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock, on a one-for-one basis, upon transfer to any non-permitted holder of Class B common stock. Holders of Class A and Class B common stock are entitled to liquidation distributions on a pro rata basis, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any.

Share Repurchases
On March 18, 2022, the Company’s board and a relevant sub-committee thereof authorized and approved a stock repurchase program for up to $50 million of the then outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company was authorized to repurchase from time-to-time shares of its outstanding Class A common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in the United States. The timing and amount of stock repurchases depended on a variety of factors, including market conditions as well as corporate and regulatory considerations. The stock repurchase program could have been suspended, modified or discontinued at any time, in accordance with relevant and applicable regulatory requirements, and the Company has had no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under the program. The Company intended to make all repurchases in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended. Under the program, the repurchased shares were returned to the status of authorized, but unissued shares of common stock held in treasury at average cost. 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.
On September 20, 2023, the Company repurchased 2 million shares of its Class A common stock from its Founder and director Nick Jones for $12 million. The privately negotiated transaction was approved by the board of directors. The shares are now held as treasury shares by the Company.
On February 9, 2024, the Company’s board and a relevant sub-committee authorized and approved a new stock repurchase program for up to $50 million of the currently outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. During the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024, the Company repurchased a total of 2,269,130 shares and 3,160,175 shares of Class A common stock for $13 million and $17 million, respectively, including commissions, under the new program. The repurchased shares are held as treasury shares by the Company.
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.
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.
21
During the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2024, the Company identified a misstatement in the geographic allocation of its legal entity level forecasts which impacted the calculation of the interim tax expense for Q1 2024 and Q2 2024 previously reported periods. There was no material impact on Group level forecasts. There have been no other material changes in the Company’s estimates or provisions for income taxes recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024. Refer to Note 17, Revision of Prior Period Financial Statement for further information.
Full valuation allowances have been recorded against the incremental deferred tax assets recognized for tax losses, share-based compensation, and excess interest primarily in the U.K., U.S. and Hong Kong. The Company continues to evaluate all positive and negative evidence to assess the realizability of its net deferred tax assets and it is reasonably possible that there may be a change in the valuation allowance within the next twelve months. The gross unrecognized tax benefits have increased by $8 million for both 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024.
The effective tax rate for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2024 was 96.17%, compared to (9.52%) for the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2023, as revised. The effective tax rate for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024 was (23.76)% compared to (8.61%) for the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2023, as revised. The effective tax rates for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024 differ from the US statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the 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. Additionally, the Company is calculating current tax charges in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions related to uncertain tax positions over a pretax book loss for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024 which is the primary difference as compared to the prior year.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) global tax reform initiative introduces a global minimum tax of 15% on country-by-country profits applicable to large multinational corporations. As part of this international initiative, the UK enacted its BEPS Pillar Two Minimum Tax legislation in July 2023 with effect for accounting periods beginning on or after December 31, 2023.
The Company has carried out an assessment of the impact of this legislation for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024 and has concluded that these new rules are not likely to have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate or tax payments for this period. The Company will undertake this assessment for subsequent reporting periods to monitor its compliance with the GloBE rules for fiscal 2024.
The Company’s core operations comprise of Houses, hotels and restaurants across a number of territories, which are managed on a geographical basis. There is a segment managing director for each of the UK, The Americas, 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”), the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer combined. In addition to Houses, hotels 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, hotels and restaurants 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. The historical North America reportable segment has been renamed to The Americas; however, there is no change to the manner in which the segment was previously presented.
Intercompany revenues and costs among the reportable segments are not material and are 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 Reportable segments 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 EBITDA, share-based compensation expense, and certain other expenses.
The following tables present disaggregated revenue for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023 and the key financial metrics reviewed by the CODM for the Company’s reportable segments:

As described in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, during the 13-week period ended September 29, 2024, in connection with a planned ERP systems upgrade, the Company performed a number of initiatives including continuing to work with external consultants to review and strengthen its internal controls and processes, including reconciliations and completing the implementation of a new ERP system for its retail business in August 2024. Through the performance of these activities, management identified misstatements in its previously issued financial statements and confirmed the financial statement impact of previously identified uncorrected immaterial misstatements. While correction of these adjustments as out of period corrections would be material in aggregate to the current period, the Company determined the impacts of these misstatements were not material to the financial statements for all prior periods identified. As a result, the Company has revised its Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022 consolidated financial statements and Q2 2024, Q1 2024, Q3 2023, Q2 2023 and Q1 2023 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to adjust for the impact of these misstatements.
The Company has classified the majority of the misstatements into the following major categories:
On the statement of operations, this misstatement resulted in an understatement of net loss of $5 million in Fiscal 2022 (and interim periods), $7 million in Fiscal 2023 (and interim periods), an overstatement of less than $1 million in Q1 2024 and an understatement of less than $1 million in Q2 2024. On the balance sheet, this misstatement impacted accounts receivables, accrued liabilities, indirect and employee taxes payable and other current liabilities, resulting in an overstatement of net assets of $6 million as at Fiscal 2022, $12 million as at Fiscal 2023, $12 million as at Q1 2024 and $13 million as at Q2 2024. This included a net decrease in Cash and cash equivalents of $1 million as at Fiscal 2022, $3 million as at Fiscal 2023, $2 million in Q1 2023, Q2 2023 and Q3 2023, $3 million as at Q1 2024 and Q2 2024, related to unrecorded credit card fees and identified errors in transactions recorded in the cash control account for which cash was not received. On the statement of cash flows, the misstatement resulted in an overstatement of net cash provided by operating activities of $3 million in Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2023, $1 million in Q1 2024 and $3 million in Q2 2024.
The identified misstatements resulted in adjustments to a various financial statement line items in the balance sheets, the statements of operations and the statements of cash flows across the periods presented in the tables below as follows:
30
The Company assessed the materiality of the errors, both individually and in aggregate, including as out of period corrections in the current period as well as corrections to impacted prior period consolidated financial statements, on a qualitative and quantitative basis in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality, and No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. The Company evaluated the materiality of the errors on the Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022 consolidated financial statements and Q2 2024, Q1 2024, Q3 2023, Q2 2023 and Q1 2023 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and determined that they did not result in a material misstatement to the financial condition, results of operations, change of trend, or liquidity for any of these periods previously presented. However, the Company determined that the effect of recording the misstatements during the 13-week and 39-week periods ended as of September 29, 2024, would be material to the consolidated financial statements for the 52-week period ended December 29, 2024. As a result, the Company revised its previously issued consolidated financial statements.
The revision of the historical consolidated financial statements also includes the correction of other previously identified immaterial errors, which have impacted a number of financial statement line items in the balance sheets, the statements of operations and the statements of cash flows across the periods presented in the tables below that follow. The Company had previously determined that these adjustments did not, either individually or in the aggregate, result in a material misstatement of its previously issued consolidated financial statements. Further, the revision of the Fiscal 2022 consolidated financial statements includes as an out of period adjustment misstatements identified impacting periods pre-Fiscal 2022. Management has concluded that the impact pre-Fiscal 2022 is not material and will be part of the revisions in Fiscal 2022.
The Company believes the misstatements identified are related to manual processes and the existing material weaknesses in our control over financial reporting as described in the most recently filed Form 10-K for the fiscal year as of and ended December 31, 2023. The Company has devoted, and will continue to devote, significant time and resources to complete its remediation of the material weaknesses. The following components of the ongoing remediation plan, among others, are:
Further, the Company is focused on continuing to bolster its Transformation and Finance teams including by hiring a Chief Transformation Officer (November 2024) to lead the ERP system implementation and a number of personnel with a higher level of knowledge and experience including application of US GAAP, internal audit and SOX compliance.
The Company considers that the actions described above are comprehensive and will remediate the material weaknesses and strengthen the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Given the Company on-going process of recruiting experienced accounting staff and implementing the new ERP system, the Company believes that additional time will be beneficial to demonstrate that the new personnel, in conjunction with the new system, have the ability to consistently perform their responsibilities to ensure that the material weaknesses have been fully remediated. Therefore, the Company has concluded that these material weaknesses will not be considered fully remediated until the remediation actions, including those above, have operated effectively for a sufficient period of time and have been sufficiently tested.
Further information regarding the misstatements and related revisions including details of the corrections on the impacted financial statement line items are summarized in the tables below.

Overview
SHCO is a global membership platform that connects a vibrant, diverse group of members from across the world. These members use the platform to both work and socialize, to connect, create, have fun and drive a positive change. The central pillar of SHCO 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 the Americas, 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.
Over the last 29 years, we have expanded our membership expertise and diversified our offerings—both physically and digitally. As of September 29, 2024, we had approximately 267,500 members (including approximately 208,100 Soho House Members) who engage with SHCO through our global portfolio of 45 Soho Houses, 8 Soho Works, Scorpios Beach Clubs in Mykonos and Bodrum, 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 The Americas also form part of SHCO’s wider portfolio via management agreements to operate the properties.
Our membership expertise, honed through the growth of Soho House, has led to our evolution into 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 quickly and easily respond to shifting lifestyle trends and the evolution of our members’ needs. Our memberships work together, allowing us to reach new audiences with a set of interconnected offerings.
Our membership has remained resilient through multiple economic cycles and other macroeconomic dislocations, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic. The power of our model is driven by the important role we believe that we play in our members’ lives and the value we consistently provide them for their membership fees. We believe our retention compares favorably to leading consumer subscriptions or memberships—across music, media, fitness, entertainment and commerce—despite, in many cases, their significantly lower price points.
The demand for our membership is also demonstrated by our large and growing SHCO global waitlist, which as of September 29, 2024 stands at approximately 111,000 applicants. Awareness of our distinct membership offerings and their scarcity is spread by our members organically through word of mouth, social media and press coverage.
Further, 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 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. We view Membership Revenues and In-House revenues as interrelated, although there is no minimum spend for any member on our In-House offerings that generate In-House Revenues. In practice the significant majority of In-House Revenues are generated by our members, and the pricing of our In-House offerings reflects that accordingly, with pricing of such In-House offerings being identical for both members and non-members.
Other revenues include all revenues not realized within our Houses, including Scorpios, Soho Works and stand-alone restaurants, design and procurement fees from Soho House Design, Soho Home and Cowshed retail products and other revenues from products and services that we provide outside of our Houses, as well as management fees from hotel management contracts for The Ned Sites and The LINE and Saguaro hotels.
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.
Every House annual membership fee is approximately $4,800, excluding local sales taxes, which provides access to all of our Houses globally. Our Houses attract members from every demographic, with members from “Generation Z” (27 years old and younger) and “Millennials” (28 to 43 year-olds) constituting the fastest-growing cohorts. We believe the pricing of our In-House offerings represents great value to our members because of the level of quality provided, reinforcing the overall membership experience, rewarding their brand loyalty and creating opportunities for future and recurring revenues.
We created the following types of membership under Soho House to reach a broader audience and enhance the experience of our existing members:
This membership allows us to welcome members to our global community in new geographies where we do not have a physical House. Through this membership we are able to generate additional revenues on our existing base of Houses and gather intelligence for future growth, which we have leveraged to open new Houses in certain locations, including Bangkok, Thailand (February 2023), Mexico City, Mexico (September 2023), Portland, USA (March 2024), Sao Paulo, Brazil (June 2024) and planned future openings in places such as Manchester, United Kingdom and Milan, Italy. As of September 29, 2024, we had 11,879 CWH members across 83 cities.
Through this membership we offer access to some physical House spaces, including Soho House bedrooms, and screenings, with additional benefits from our restaurants, spas and online retail brands to an audience who enjoy the Soho House offerings but do not have a Soho House Membership. Soho Friends annual membership is approximately $130 and does not provide full access to our Houses. As of September 29, 2024, we had 53,235 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 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, with locations in LA, New York and London. 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. As of September 29, 2024, we had 6,181 Soho Works members. Soho Works membership rates vary by location and Soho House membership status. For Adult Paying Members, a US Soho Works membership ranges from $200 to $750 per month, depending on membership type.
Scorpios Beach Club
Scorpios is a well-established globally recognized brand, focused on enriching the lives of its guests who are looking to escape from their daily lives, with two locations currently open. The original Scorpios, set in a cove on the southern tip of Mykonos, offers a one of a kind beach experience with a restaurant, terraces and daybeds, and a distinctive wellness offering. The second location, which opened in Bodrum, Turkey, in June 2024, offers similar seaside restaurant and terrace experiences, and also includes 12 bungalows equipped with private pools. We believe the Scorpios concept has significant potential to expand further, with the expectation to open a third site in Tulum, Mexico.
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 September 29, 2024, Ned’s Club London, New York and Doha had approximately 4,600 members, and expect to open a fourth site in Washington, D.C. in early 2025. 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 existing 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, 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 contracts for the operation of these hotels. The transaction has broadened our geographic reach in The Americas.
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.
46
Our business and future performance is also affected by a variety of factors, including:
Reportable Segments
Our operations consist of three reportable segments (United Kingdom, The Americas, 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. The historical North America reportable segment has been renamed to The Americas; however, there is no change to the manner in which the segment was previously presented. Refer to Note 15, Segments in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on reportable segments.
Key Performance, Operating Metrics and Additional Financial Measures and Other Data Evaluated by Management
In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of operating and financial measures and metrics. These measures and metrics include:
NUMBER OF SOHO HOUSES. The number of Soho Houses reflects the total number of Soho Houses in operation in any period, irrespective of whether each House is (i) controlled by us, (ii) operated through a non-controlling interest in a joint venture or (iii) operated under 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 driving In-House Revenues as members utilize the offerings that are provided within the Houses. Soho House members include all active, frozen and non-paying members.
The extent to which we achieve growth in our membership base, retain existing members and periodically increase our membership fee rates will impact our profitability. We have historically enjoyed strong member loyalty, reflected by very high retention rates. Robust demand for our memberships is also evidenced by considerable wait lists for our Houses.
The year-over-year increase in our total number of Soho House Members is driven by a combination of increases in membership at existing Houses and members from new Houses.
SOHO HOUSE MEMBER RETENTION. Soho House Member Retention is defined as the number of Adult Paying Members (being all Soho House members excluding child members and complimentary members) at the beginning of a period less the number of Adult Paying Members who canceled their membership during that same period (without giving any effect to Adult Paying Members who froze their memberships during such period), as a proportion of total Adult Paying Members at the beginning of such period.
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, 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 The Americas 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 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 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 retail products and Cowshed services and brand license fees and other revenues from products and services that we provide outside of our Houses. Additionally, this category also includes 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 and Soho Friends membership revenue.
ACTIVE APP USERS. Active App Users is defined as unique users who have logged into any of our membership Apps within the previous 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 Income (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
48
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 17% to $107,394 for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2024 predominantly driven by an increase in Adult Paying Members of 11%, or 16,500, who joined after the end of the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2023. Additionally, all Soho House Adult paying fees were increased at the start of fiscal 2023, impacting members on their renewal date throughout fiscal 2023.
All Soho House Adult paying fees increased in January 2024, with in general a low single-digit price rise for existing members and a mid single-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 $343. This was driven by Soho Works as a result of increased membership fees in fiscal 2024, partially offset by a reduction in the number of Soho Friends members in comparison to the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2023.
The Americas segment saw an increase in membership revenues of $7,515, or 17%, due to approximately 8,800, or 15% increase in Adult Paying Soho House members year-on-year, with the opening of Soho House Sao Paulo (June, 2024), Soho House Portland (March, 2024) and Soho House Mexico City (September 2023), as well as growth across existing Houses. The impact of the membership fee increases noted also contributed to the increase in Membership revenues.
Our United Kingdom segment saw an increase in Membership revenues of $4,707, or 17% , due to approximately 2,900, or 5% increase in Adult Paying Soho House members, driven by growth in existing Houses, coupled with the impact of the House membership fee increases as noted above.

In constant currency, Membership revenues in the United Kingdom segment increased by $3,386, or 12%.
The Europe/RoW segment saw an increase in Membership revenues of $1,372, or 13%, due to approximately 2,500, or 10% increase in Adult paying members, driven by growth in existing Houses, alongside revenue impact of the House membership fee increases as noted above. In constant currency, Membership revenues in the Europe/RoW segment increased by $866, or 8%.
All Other saw an increase in Membership revenues of $1,751, or 16%, predominantly driven by approximately 2,300, or 28% more CWH Adult Paying Members, with the growth rate offset by a decline of approximately 11,300 Non-House members in comparison to the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Other revenues in The Americas segment increased $686, or 4% versus the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2023 supported by a termination fee related to one of our LINE hotel management contracts, offset by a slight decline in sales in some of the stand-alone restaurants period-on-period.
The United Kingdom segment saw an increase in Other revenues of $1,492, or 8% versus third quarter fiscal 2023 driven by higher design fees offsetting slightly softer sales year-over-year in our stand alone restaurants.

In-House Operating Expenses were $158,790 for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2024, an increase of $11,559. The increase is a result of the four new Houses opened since the beginning of the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2023, alongside period-on-period wage increases. In constant currency, In-House Operating Expenses increased by $4,387.
House-Level Contribution, which is defined as House Revenues less In-House Operating Expenses, was $60,835 for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2024, compared to $51,957 for the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2023, an increase of $8,878. The increase in House-Level Contribution predominantly relates to increased Soho House membership and In-House revenues period-on-period, offset by higher In-House operating expenses.
House-Level Contribution Margin was 28% for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2024, an increase of 2% from the prior period due to increased revenues, especially membership. All regions increased House-Level margins period-on-period benefitting from higher membership revenue, with the exception of the United Kingdom segment which remained flat partially driven by the impact of higher inflation in In-House Operating expenses.

This increased spend is predominantly driven by the opening of the new Scorpios site in Bodrum, higher costs in relation to revenue growth at Soho Home, and write-off of design costs for Houses no longer going ahead. This increase was offset by the permanent closure of our operations at The Hoxton (July 2023) and the removal of expenses relating to Cowshed operations following the move to a brand license deal effective January 1, 2024 . In constant currency, Other Operating Expenses increased by $10,770, or 14%.

(50
Pre-opening expenses were $2,561 for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2024 compared to $5,094 in the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by the size and location of House openings.

Foreign exchange (gain) loss, net which is unrealized and non-cash in nature, moved from a loss of $30,698 to a gain of $(39,591) for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2024, primarily driven by foreign exchange revaluation of our borrowings.
During the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2024, the Company recognized $14,068 of impairment losses on long-lived assets (comprised of $11 million in respect of Operating lease assets and $3 million of Property and equipment, net), of which $13 million is in respect of Soho Works North America.

The increase is driven by higher membership revenues from both Soho House and Non-House members versus the comparative period as well as higher In-House and other revenues.

In-House revenues in our United Kingdom segment increased slightly versus the comparative period driven by foreign exchange benefit with the underlying House performance being marginally worse versus fiscal 2023 due to underlying macroeconomic trends, further impacted by the closure of the rooftop at White City House for 11 weeks in the period due to refurbishments.
The Europe/RoW segment saw a decrease of In-House revenues year-on-year, driven by external factors resulting in a reduction in footfall in our Tel Aviv House versus comparative period, alongside room revenue declines across certain Houses.

Share-based compensation expense decreased by $1,036 to $15,150 for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024, primarily reflecting a number of SARs granted prior to the IPO fully vesting and RSUs vesting in the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2023, partially offset by additional RSUs granted in the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024.

Foreign exchange (gain) loss, net, which is unrealized and non-cash in nature, moved by $25,038 from a gain of $(3,899) to $(28,937) for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024, primarily driven by foreign exchange revaluation of our borrowings.
During the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024, the Company recognized $14,068 of impairment losses on long-lived assets (comprised of $11 million in respect of Operating lease assets and $3 million of Property and equipment, net), of which $13 million is in respect of Soho Works North America.
Other expenses increased by $12,113 to $13,738 for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024, primarily due to $1,885 for one-time expenses related to shareholder activism, $2,424 of expenses incurred with respect to the evaluation of certain strategic transactions by our independent special committee and $6,137 incurred with respect to a strategic reorganization program of our operations and support teams. In addition, we recognized impairment losses on intangible assets related to the termination of two hotel management contracts of $4,710.

59,527
Interest Expense, net was $61,846 for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024, an increase of $2,319, or 4%, to the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2023, driven by the higher interest rate and principal on the Soho Beach House Miami loan post refinancing and the higher principal amount on our Senior Secured Notes due to the compounding of this debt, offset by the loss on extinguishments of debt incurred following the refinancing of Soho Beach House Miami in May 2023. In constant currency, net interest decreased by $498.
Adjusted EBITDA was $99,612 for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024, in comparison to $85,642 for the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2023, an increase of $13,970. The increase has been driven by higher membership revenues versus the comparative period, alongside higher Other Revenues, offset by an increase in General and Administrative and Operating expenses year-on-year. In constant currency, adjusted EBITDA increased by $11,351, an increase of 13%.

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 September 29, 2024, we maintained a cash and cash equivalents balance of $143 million and a restricted cash balance of $4 million.
Our primary requirements for liquidity are to fund our working capital needs, operating and finance lease obligations, capital expenditures and general corporate needs. Our ongoing capital expenditures are principally related to opening new Houses, refurbishing and maintaining the existing House portfolio as well as investments in our corporate technology infrastructure to support our digital strategy and technology infrastructure.
In a given year, our primary cash inflows and outflows relate to the following:
On February 9, 2024, the Company’s board and a relevant sub-committee authorized and approved a new stock repurchase program for up to $50 million of the currently outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. During the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024, the Company repurchased a total of 2,269,130 shares of Class A common stock for $13 million and 3,160,175 shares for $17 million, respectively, including commissions, under the new program. The repurchased shares are held as treasury shares by the Company.
We believe our existing cash and marketable securities balances will be sufficient to fund our operating and finance lease obligations, capital expenditures and working capital needs for at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.
Cash Flows and Working Capital
The following table provides a summary of cash flow data for the periods presented:
Net cash generated by (used in)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
Effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents
Net Cash Used in 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 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024, we had a $62,794 inflow of cash from operating activities, which includes a net loss of $71,345, depreciation and amortization of $76,642, and a favorable net working capital change of $34,549.
For the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2023, we had a $28,690 inflow of cash from operating activities, which includes a net loss of $67,978, depreciation and amortization of $74,162, and an unfavorable net working capital change of $16,422.
69
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
The primary cash inflows from investing activities include the cash proceeds from the sale of assets. The primary cash outflows from investing activities include the purchase of property and equipment and intangibles.
For the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024, we had a $57,375 outflow of cash from investing activities, primarily due to purchases of property and equipment of $55,833 and purchases of intangible assets of $12,237 offset by a repayment from equity method investees of $10,695.
For the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2023, we had a $62,104 outflow of cash from investing activities, primarily due to purchases of property and equipment of $49,631 and purchases of intangible assets of $13,989.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
The primary cash inflows from financing activities include proceeds from borrowings. The primary cash outflows from financing activities include principal payments on borrowings and purchase of treasury stock.
For the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024, we had a $21,503 outflow of cash from financing activities, primarily due to the purchase of treasury stock of $17,396 and distributions to noncontrolling interest of $3,697.
For the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2023, we had a $5,531 inflow of cash from financing activities, primarily due to the repayment of borrowings of $117,350 and proceeds from borrowings of $140,000.
Cash Requirements from Contractual and Other Obligations
As of September 29, 2024, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our contractual obligations from those disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based on the financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. The estimates are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 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.
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 December 31, 2023.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We principally operate in the UK and The Americas, 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 $6 million lower and approximately $7 million higher, respectively, and Net Loss would have been approximately less than $1 million higher and approximately less than $1 million lower, respectively, for the 13 weeks ended September 29, 2024.
If the Euro had strengthened/weakened by 10% versus the GBP, revenue would have been approximately $2 million higher and approximately $2 million lower, 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 September 29, 2024.
If the USD had strengthened/weakened by 10% versus the GBP, revenue would have been approximately $47 million lower and approximately $52 million higher, respectively, and Net Loss would have been approximately $3 million lower and approximately $3 million higher, respectively, for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024.
If the Euro had strengthened/weakened by 10% versus the GBP, revenue would have been approximately $13 million higher and approximately $11 million lower, respectively, and Net Loss would have been approximately less than $1 million lower and approximately less than $1 million higher, respectively, for the 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024.
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 customers, counterparties and institutions that are considered to be of high credit quality and by performing periodic evaluations of accounts receivable and investments and of the relative credit standing of our customers, counterparties and financial institutions, as applicable.
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 September 29, 2024, we had $143 million in cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, $4 million of restricted cash and £71 million ($95 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, utilities, 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 September 29, 2024 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 described in Note 17, Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements, included in this Form 10-Q, Management identified misstatements in its previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the 52-week period ended December 31, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”) and January 1, 2023 (“Fiscal 2022”); the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the 13-week periods ended March 31, 2024 (“Q1 2024”)and April 2, 2023 (“Q1 2023”); the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 30,2024 (“Q2 2024”) and July 2, 2023 (“Q2 2023”); and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 1, 2023 (“Q3 2023”). The Company assessed the materiality of the errors, including the presentation on prior period consolidated financial statements, on a qualitative and quantitative basis in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality, and No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. The Company determined the impacts of these misstatements were not material to the financial statements for all prior periods identified above. For comparative purposes, the Company has made corrections to the condensed consolidated financial statements and applicable notes for the prior periods presented in this Form 10-Q. Further, the Company included details of the corrections on all impacted prior periods (as listed above) and financial statement line items in Note 17, Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements, in this Form 10-Q
As disclosed in our Annual Report in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 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 December 31, 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; 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. These material weaknesses resulted in adjustments to our financial statements and included lease accounting, income tax accounting, impairment of long-lived assets accounting, related party transactions and disclosures and balance sheet reclassifications 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 39 weeks ended September 29, 2024 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 December 31, 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, except as described below. The risks described in our Annual Report Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not precisely known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also arise and materially impact our business. If any of these risks occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected and the trading price of our common stock could decline.
We identified material weaknesses in connection with our internal control over financial reporting. Although we are taking steps to remediate these material weaknesses, there is no assurance we will be successful in doing so in a timely manner, or at all, and we may identify other material weaknesses.
In connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2023, fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, our management and independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses 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; 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. These material weaknesses resulted in adjustments to our financial statements and included lease accounting, income tax accounting, impairment of long-lived assets accounting, related party transactions and disclosures and balance sheet reclassifications during the course of the audit process.
In connection with ongoing remediation efforts including the process of our replacement of our legacy financial system with a new ERP system, management identified misstatements and confirmed previously uncorrected immaterial misstatements in its previously issued financial statements for fiscal 2023, fiscal 2022, the interim periods within these fiscal years, Q1 2024 and Q2 2024 as a result of manual processes and the material weaknesses over our accounting and internal controls described above.
Remediation Efforts to Address the Previously Disclosed Material Weakness
The Company has devoted, and will continue to devote, significant time and resources to complete its remediation of the material weaknesses. The following components of the ongoing remediation plan, among others, are:
The Company considers that the actions described above are comprehensive and will remediate the material weaknesses and strengthen the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Given the Company is still in the process of recruiting experienced accounting staff and implementing the new ERP system, the Company believes that additional time will be beneficial to demonstrate that the new personnel, in conjunction with the new system, have the ability to consistently perform their responsibilities to ensure that the material weaknesses have been fully remediated. Therefore, the Company has concluded that these material weaknesses will not be considered fully remediated until the remediation actions, including those above, have operated effectively for a sufficient period of time and have been sufficiently tested.
As a public company, we are required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal control. In addition, we are required to furnish a report by our management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Additional control deficiencies may in the future be identified by our management or independent registered public accounting firm, and such control deficiencies may also represent one or more material weaknesses in addition to those previously identified. We are currently in the process of remediating these material weaknesses and we are taking steps that we believe will address their underlying causes. We have enlisted the help of external consultants to provide assistance in the areas of internal controls and financial reporting in the short term, and are evaluating the longer-term resource needs of our accounting staff, including GAAP expertise. These remediation measures may be time-consuming and costly, and might place
significant demands on our financial, accounting and operational resources. In addition, there is no assurance that we will be successful in hiring any necessary finance and accounting personnel in a timely manner, or at all.
Assessing our procedures to improve our internal control over financial reporting is an ongoing process. We can provide no assurance that our remediation efforts described herein will be successful and that we will not have material weaknesses in the future. Any material weaknesses we identify could result in an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements as well as subject us to increased regulatory inquiry and shareholder litigation.
