Significant Accounting Policies | (2) Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Company is deemed to have a direct or indirect controlling financial interest based on either a variable interest model or voting interest model. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, these consolidated financial statements present the consolidated results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and changes in equity of Inspirato LLC. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 presents the financial condition of Inspirato LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions of Inspirato LLC have been eliminated. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization and the consolidated financial statements presented herein for periods subsequent to the Closing Date are for Inspirato Incorporated and its subsidiaries, including Inspirato LLC. Inspirato LLC was the accounting acquirer of Thayer and the consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to February 11, 2022 are those of Inspirato LLC. See Note 3 – Reverse Recapitalization for more information. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations” the historical equity of Inspirato LLC has been recast in all periods up to the Closing Date, to reflect the number of shares of Inspirato Incorporated’s Class A Common Stock (as defined below) and Class V Common Stock (as defined below) issued to Inspirato LLC Holders in connection with the Business Combination. The Company recast the units outstanding related to the historical Inspirato LLC preferred units and common units (the “Historical Inspirato LLC Equity”) prior to the Business Combination, reflecting the exchange ratio of 1-for-37.2275, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. The consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto give effect to the conversion for all periods presented. The consolidated financial statements do not necessarily represent the capital structure of Inspirato Incorporated had the Business Combination occurred in prior periods. (b) Principles of Consolidation For the period of February 11, 2022 through December 31, 2022, the consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Inspirato LLC. In determining the accounting of Inspirato Incorporated’s interest in Inspirato LLC after the Business Combination, management concluded Inspirato LLC was not a variable interest entity as defined by ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” and as such, Inspirato LLC was evaluated under the voting interest model. As Inspirato Incorporated has the right to appoint a majority (four of the seven) managers of Inspirato LLC, Inspirato Incorporated controls Inspirato LLC, and therefore, the financial results of Inspirato LLC and its subsidiaries, after the Closing on February 11, 2022, are consolidated with and into Inspirato Incorporated’s financial statements. For the days and periods prior to Business Combination, the consolidated financial statements of the Company comprise the accounts of Inspirato LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions among Inspirato LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries were eliminated. For periods after the Business Combination, all intercompany accounts and transactions among the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. (c) Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Changes in facts and circumstances or discovery of new information may result in revised estimates, and actual results could differ from those estimates. The consolidated financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to valuation and estimated economic lives of capitalized software and long-lived assets, contingencies, allowance accounts, expected length of certain subscription types, and fair value measurements related to stock-based compensation. (d) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and investments in highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash balances held in banks exceed the federal depository insurance limit. The Company’s cash is only insured up to the federal depository insurance limit. Amounts in transit from credit card processors are also considered cash equivalents because they are both short term and highly liquid in nature and are typically converted to cash within three days of the sales transaction. (e) Restricted Cash The cash. (f) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivables from customers are recorded at the original invoiced amounts, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on historical experience, aging of receivables, economic trends and other factors that may affect the Company’s ability to collect from customers, and was not significant at December 31, 2021 and 2022. (g) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The straight-line method is used for computing depreciation and amortization. three The carrying amounts of our long-lived assets are periodically reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable or that the useful life is shorter than we had originally estimated. The recoverability of these assets There 2022. (h) Leases The Company is party to operating lease agreements for its vacation homes, hotels and corporate offices. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02 (“ASC 842”), Leases The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach (“adoption of the new lease standard”). This approach allows entities to either apply the new lease standard to the beginning of the earliest period presented or only to the consolidated financial statements in the period of adoption without restating prior periods. The Company elected to apply the new guidance at the date of adoption without restating prior periods. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed the Company to carry forward the historical determination of contracts as leases and lease classification and not reassess initial direct costs for historical lease arrangements. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our current classes of leases. Operating lease assets are included within right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and the corresponding operating lease liabilities are included within current liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. The Company has elected not to present short-term leases on the consolidated balance sheet as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception and do not contain purchase options or renewal terms that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. All other right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at the later of ASC 842 adoption date or lease commencement date. Because most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, the Company used the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at adoption date or lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Adoption of the new lease standard on January 1, 2022 had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The most significant impacts related to the (i) recording ROU assets of $202 million and (ii) recording lease liabilities of $209 million, as of January 1, 2022 on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company also reclassified prepaid expenses of $1.1 million and deferred rent balances (including tenant improvement allowances and other liability balances) of $7.9 million relating to the Company’s existing lease arrangements as of December 31, 2021, into the ROU asset balance as of January 1, 2022. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The adoption of the new lease standard did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of cash flows and had no impact on our debt covenants. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized $0.9 million of impairment expense related to properties with carrying values in excess of their recoverable values. The expense was recorded in cost of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022 for the adoption of the new lease standard was as follows: Balances at December 31, Adjustments from Adoption of New Lease Balances at January 1, 2021 Standard 2022 Assets (in thousands) Prepaid expenses $ 11,101 $ (1,094) $ 10,007 Operating lease ROU assets — 201,728 201,728 Liabilities Current lease liabilities $ — $ 63,415 $ 63,415 Other current liabilities 457 (457) — Noncurrent lease liabilities — 145,144 145,144 Other noncurrent liabilities 7,468 (7,468) — (i) Equity-Based Compensation The Company accounts for equity-based compensation (j) Goodwill Goodwill 2013. Goodwill was recorded based on management’s best estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is assessed annually for impairment in the fourth quarter and when events and circumstances indicate that the fair value (k) Revenue The Company’s revenue is reported net of discounts and incentives as a reduction of the transaction price. Some of the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For customer contracts that include multiple performance obligations, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations if they are distinct. The transaction price is then allocated to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. The Company generally determines the standalone selling price based on the prices charged to customers. Subscription Revenue The Company’s contracts with customers grants access to book the Company’s residences and other privileges that vary based on the type of The calculation of the expected average life of legacy Inspirato Club subscriptions with substantive upfront enrollment fees is a critical estimate in the recognition of revenue associated with enrollment fees. The calculation includes certain management judgments and projections regarding the estimated period that customers are expected to remain subscribers and continue to benefit from these subscriptions along with annual renewal rates for these subscriptions. Contracts are cancellable at the end of the monthly or annual contract term. The Company has determined that enrollment fees for subscriptions do not provide a material right to a customer and thus, these enrollment fees are recognized upon receipt. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined our contracts generally do not include a significant Travel Revenue Travel stay. The Company offers certain discounts for paying in advance or as promotions. These promotions are recognized when performance obligations are met or upon their expiration. Deferred Revenue The Company records any unrecognized portion of enrollment fees and travel to be delivered as deferred revenue until applicable performance obligations are met. (l) Advertising Costs The Company incurs advertising expense including television and radio advertising and online advertising expense to promote our brand. We expense the production costs associated with advertisements in the period in which the advertisement first takes place. We expense the costs of communicating the advertisement (e.g., television airtime) as incurred each time the advertisement is shown. respectively. (m) Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net earnings or loss attributable to Inspirato Incorporated Class A common stock (“Class A Common Stock”), as applicable, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed after adjusting the basic EPS computation for the effect of potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The effect of non-vested equity-based compensation awards, if dilutive, is computed using the treasury stock method. (n) Segment Information The Company provides hospitality services in the U.S. and in foreign countries with customers in North (o) Fair Value Measures Fair value is the price that the Company estimates would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying values on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaids, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, deferred rent, deferred revenue, other liabilities, and debt approximate fair values due to their short- term maturities. The Company uses certain fair valuation techniques in performing its annual goodwill impairment test described below and in determining the value of warrants. These techniques generally use Level 3 inputs. (p) Distinguishment of Liabilities from Equity The Company has applied If the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, it then determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the balance sheet as temporary equity. The Company determines financial instruments as temporary equity if the redemption of the preferred units or other financial instrument is outside the control of the Company. Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity. Initial Measurement The received. Temporary Equity At or (q) Noncontrolling Interests Noncontrolling interests represent the economic interest of Inspirato LLC not owned by Inspirato Incorporated. These noncontrolling interests arose from the Business Combination. Noncontrolling interests were initially recorded as the relative proportion of the net assets of Inspirato LLC at the time of the Business Combination. This amount is subsequently adjusted for the proportionate share of earnings or losses attributable to the noncontrolling interests, any dividends or distributions paid to the noncontrolling interests and any changes to Inspirato Incorporated’s ownership of Inspirato LLC. As of December 31, 2022, Inspirato Incorporated directly owned 47% of the interest in Inspirato LLC and the noncontrolling interest was 53%. The noncontrolling interest relates to the economic interests in Inspirato LLC held directly by owners of our Inspirato Incorporated Class V common stock (“Class V Common Stock”) in the form of New Common Units (as defined below) as a result of Business Combination. See Note 3 - Reverse Recapitalization. (r) Income Taxes For periods prior to the Business Combination, Inspirato LLC was treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, Inspirato LLC is itself generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax under current U.S. tax laws, and any taxable income or loss is passed through and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including Inspirato Incorporated. Inspirato Incorporated is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to its distributive share of the items of the net taxable income or loss and any related tax credits of Inspirato LLC. Subsequent to the Business Combination, Inspirato Incorporated holds an interest in Inspirato LLC, which continues to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Inspirato LLC is also subject to taxes in foreign jurisdictions in which it operates. Inspirato Incorporated is subject to income taxes predominately in the U.S. The Company provides for income taxes and the related accounts under the asset and liability method. Income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best assessment of estimated current and future taxes to be paid. The relevant tax laws are often complex and may be subject to different interpretations. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the basis difference reverses. In evaluating the ability to recover its deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence. If based upon all available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established. The valuation allowance may be reversed in a subsequent reporting period if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that all or part of the deferred tax asset will become realizable. The Company’s interpretations of tax laws are subject to review and examination by various taxing authorities and jurisdictions where the Company operates, and disputes may occur regarding its view on a tax position. These disputes over interpretations with the various tax authorities may be settled by audit, administrative appeals or adjudication in the court systems of the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company regularly reviews whether it may be assessed additional income taxes as a result of the resolution of these matters, and the Company records additional reserves as appropriate. In addition, the Company may revise its estimate of income taxes due to changes in income tax laws, legal interpretations and business strategies. The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of uncertain income tax positions when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense. For additional information see Note 7 – Income Taxes. (s) Warrant Liabilities The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. In accordance with ASC Topic 825-10 “Financial Instruments,” offering costs attributable to the issuance of the derivative warrant liabilities have been allocated based on their relative fair value of total proceeds and are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as incurred. The Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the Warrants as liabilities at fair value subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the Warrants as of December 31, 2022 is based on observable listed prices for such Warrants. As the transfer of Private Warrants to anyone who is a permitted transferee would result in the Private Warrants having substantially the same terms as the Public Warrants, the Company determined that the fair value of each Private Warrant was equivalent to that of each Public Warrant. The determination of the fair value of the Warrant liability may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly. Derivative Warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities. On March 14, 2022, all 7.2 million Private Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis into 5.1 million shares of Class A Common Stock.
