Table of Contents

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We cannot assure you that the results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

Neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. Moreover, the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and such statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

INSPIRATO INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Nature of Business

Inspirato Incorporated and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a subscription-based luxury travel company that provides exclusive access to a managed and controlled portfolio of curated vacation options, delivered through an innovative model designed to ensure the service, certainty, and value that discerning customers demand. The Inspirato portfolio includes branded luxury vacation homes, accommodations at five-star hotel and resort partners, and custom travel experiences.

The Company was initially incorporated in Delaware on July 31, 2020 as Thayer Ventures Acquisition Corporation (“Thayer”); a special purpose acquisition company. On February 11, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company and Inspirato LLC consummated the transaction contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement dated June 30, 2021 and as amended September 15, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”) whereby a subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Inspirato LLC (the “Business Combination”), resulting in Inspirato LLC becoming a subsidiary of the Company. The Company changed its name to “Inspirato Incorporated” upon closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”). The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization whereby Inspirato LLC acquired Thayer for accounting purposes. As such, the condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein represent the operating results of Inspirato LLC before and after the Business Combination.

Since early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world and is continuing to have an effect on the global hospitality and travel industries. The global spread of COVID-19 has been and continues to be a complex and evolving situation. No impairments directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic were recorded during the periods presented. While COVID-19 continues to impact the world, through March 31, 2023 as restrictions were lifted across travel destinations, revenues have recovered to pre-pandemic levels. Management cannot estimate the length or impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s future operations, financial position and cash flows, particularly if there are significant impacts that continue in the future.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10K.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2023 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023 or any other future interim or annual period.

The historical equity of Inspirato LLC was previously 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto give effect to the conversion for all periods presented. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily represent the capital structure of Inspirato Incorporated had the Business Combination occurred in prior periods.

Table of Contents

(b) Principles of Consolidation

For the periods after February 11, 2022, the condensed 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 and as such, Inspirato LLC was evaluated under the voting interest model. As Inspirato Incorporated has the right to appoint a majority of the 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. All intercompany accounts and transactions among the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated.

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.

The preparation of condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed 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, incremental borrowing rates as they relate to leases, contingencies, allowance accounts, and fair value measurements related to stock-based compensation.

(d) Significant Accounting Policies

There were no significant changes to the policies disclosed in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies of the Company's consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

(e) Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. An adjustment has been made to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022, to separately identify amortization of Right of Use Assets and change in Lease Liability. This change in classification does not affect previously reported cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

(f) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including accounts receivable.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $0.2 million as of January 1, 2023 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326.

Table of Contents

(3) Reverse Recapitalization

On February 11, 2022, Inspirato LLC and Thayer consummated the Business Combination, resulting in Inspirato LLC becoming a subsidiary of the Company. The resulting Company organizational structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership corporation (or “UP-C”) structure. This organizational structure allows certain Continuing Inspirato Members (as defined below), to retain their equity ownership directly in Inspirato LLC.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP; management determined Inspirato LLC was not a variable interest entity (see Note 2), and as result, identified Inspirato LLC as the accounting acquirer of the Business Combination. The Company was treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes. This determination is primarily based on the fact that subsequent to the Business Combination, the Continuing Inspirato Members have a majority of the voting power of the Company, and Inspirato LLC’s operations comprise all of the ongoing operations of the Company. Following the Business Combination, Inspirato LLC is managed by a board of managers designated by Inspirato Incorporated and the holders of the noncontrolling interests in Inspirato LLC, who also hold noneconomic voting interests in Inspirato Incorporated through their ownership of Class V Common Stock of Inspirato Incorporated (“Continuing Inspirato Members”).

In connection with the Business Combination, among other things, (i) the Company changed its name to “Inspirato Incorporated”, (ii) each of the then issued and outstanding Class A and Class B common stock of Thayer, converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Class A Common Stock of Inspirato Incorporated, (iii) each of the then issued and outstanding warrants of Thayer converted automatically into a redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock, and (iv) each of the then issued and outstanding units of Thayer that had not been previously separated into the underlying Thayer Class A Common Stock and Thayer public warrant upon the request of the holder thereof, were cancelled and entitled the holder thereof to one share of Inspirato Class A Common Stock and one-half of one Inspirato warrant to purchase Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the IPO of Thayer (the “Public Warrants”).

As a result of the Business Combination, each outstanding unit of Inspirato LLC was cancelled and each unitholder received either (i) a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to 37.2275 (the “Exchange Ratio”) for each unit of Inspirato LLC owned and certain rights under a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) or (ii) a number of new common units of Inspirato LLC (“New Common Units”) equal to the Exchange Ratio, an equal number of shares of Class V Common Stock, which have no economic value, but entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share, and certain rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement. This exchange resulted in Inspirato Incorporated owning 41.2% of the issued and outstanding units of Inspirato LLC at the Closing and the Continuing Inspirato Members owning a noncontrolling interest of Inspirato LLC. In addition, options to purchase Inspirato LLC units were converted into options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at the Exchange Ratio.

Accordingly, the financial statements reflect the continuation of the financial statements of Inspirato LLC with the Business Combination being treated as the equivalent of Inspirato LLC issuing stock for the net assets of the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of the Company were recognized as of the Business Combination at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are presented as those of Inspirato LLC and the accumulated deficit of Inspirato LLC has been carried forward after the Closing.

All periods prior to the Business Combination have been retrospectively adjusted using the Exchange Ratio for the equivalent number of shares outstanding immediately after the Business Combination to give effect to the reverse recapitalization.

In connection with the Closing, the Company raised $90 million of gross proceeds including $88 million from the issuance of 8.8 million shares of Class A Common Stock to a number of accredited investors pursuant to a separate subscription agreement entered into on June 30, 2021, as amended. The Company incurred $25 million in transaction costs during the three months ended March 31, 2022, consisting of banking, legal and other professional fees, of which $24 million was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and the remaining $1.1 million was expensed in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The total net cash proceeds to the Company as a result of the Business Combination was $66 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, the Company issued 0 and 2,157,052 shares, respectively, of Class A Common Stock in exchange for the same number of New Common Units, resulting also in the cancellation of the same number of shares of Class V Common Stock.

(7) Income Taxes

At March 31, 2023, Inspirato Incorporated holds 49.2% of the economic interest in Inspirato LLC (see Note 3 and 16), which is 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 as its net taxable income or loss is passed through to its members and included in their tax returns, even though such net taxable income may not have actually been distributed. Inspirato Incorporated is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to its 49.2% distributive share of the net taxable income of Inspirato LLC. Inspirato Incorporated is also subject to taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

The effective income tax rate was negative 0.75% and negative 3.51% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023 differed significantly from the statutory rate in the respective periods, primarily due to the losses allocated to noncontrolling interests and the recognition of a valuation allowance as a result of the Company’s new tax structure following the Business Combination. Income tax expense recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023 represents amounts owed to foreign taxing authorities.

The Company has assessed the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and in that analysis has considered the relevant positive and negative evidence available to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at Inspirato Incorporated as of the Closing and as of March 31, 2023, which will be maintained until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances.

The Company’s income tax filings are subject to audit by various taxing jurisdictions. The Company will monitor the status of U.S. federal, state and local income tax returns that may be subject to audit in future periods. No U.S. federal, state and local income tax returns are currently under examination by the respective taxing authorities.

(8) Debt

Loan Facility

In October 2020, the Company obtained a revolving line of credit (“Revolver”) that was scheduled to mature October 2023 and was terminated in March 2023. This Revolver had a limit of $14 million. Interest rates associated with the Revolver adjusted based on the prime rate and outstanding balance. The interest rate was 8.50% at December 31, 2022. Interest expense related to the Revolver totaled $0.1 million and $0, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023.

(9) Fair Value Measurements

The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the “exit price” that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between independent market participants on the measurement date. The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy, which requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

●

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

●

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

●

Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Factors used to develop the estimated fair value are unobservable inputs that are not supported by market activity. The sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs may result in a significantly higher or lower measurement.

Level 1 financial liabilities consist of valuation of its Public Warrants. The carrying values on the condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaids, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, deferred rent, lease liabilities, deferred revenue, and other liabilities approximate fair values due to their short-term maturities. The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term and long-term borrowings, if any, are considered Level 2 liabilities and approximate fair value based on current rates and terms available to the Company for similar debt. The Company utilizes Level 3 inputs in performing its annual goodwill impairment test for 2022.

(10) Loss per share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock. Class V Common Stock does not have economic rights in Inspirato Incorporated, including rights to dividends or distributions upon liquidation, and as a result, is not considered a participating security for basic and diluted loss per share. As such, basic and diluted loss per share is computed using the two-class method.

Table of Contents

Basic loss per share is based on the weighted average number of Class A shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is based on the weighted average number of Class A shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of restricted stock units, nonqualified stock options, warrants, and profits interests, if any, using the “treasury stock” method.

In addition, “Net loss attributable to Inspirato Incorporated Class A shares” is adjusted for the after-tax impact of changes to the fair value of derivative liabilities, to the extent the Company’s Warrants are dilutive.

The Company’s Class V Common Stock is neither dilutive nor anti-dilutive for the periods presented as their assumed conversion under the “if-converted” method to “Weighted-average shares for diluted loss per share” would cause a proportionate increase to “Net loss attributable to Inspirato Incorporated” for diluted loss per share.

(11)Leases

The Company enters into operating leases primarily for standalone homes, luxury condos and hotel rooms. Active leases have initial terms ranging from 1 to 20 years, and generally contain extension options at the approval of both parties. The Company has not generally included these renewal periods in the lease term as it is not reasonably certain that the renewal option will be exercised. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease expense includes expenses incurred as a result of the lease agreement which are not considered known expenses at lease inception and are recognized as incurred. Variable expenses can include, but are not limited to, revenue shares, owner buyback adjustments and usage-based agreements. Operating lease expense and variable lease expense are included in cost of revenue on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

(12) Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings. The Company establishes reserves for specific legal proceedings when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where the Company believes an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and/or for which no estimate of possible losses can be made. The Company does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility of material loss or loss in excess of the amount that the Company has accrued. The Company recognizes legal fees related to any ongoing legal proceeding as incurred.

On February 16, 2023, a class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in the District of Colorado captioned Keith Koch, Individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Inspirato Incorporated, Brent Handler, and R. Webster Neighbor. The complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder against all defendants, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants. The complaint generally alleges that certain of the Company’s prior public statements about its results of operations and financial condition were materially false and misleading because they misrepresented and failed to disclose adverse facts pertaining to the restatement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022.

Reimbursement and Security Agreement

Inspirato LLC is a party to a financial guarantee bond agreement dated September 2019 for a surety bond of $20 million and a related general corporate indemnification. The financial guarantee bond agreement remains in effect and its term is continuous to align with the term of the agreement it supports.

Leases

As of March 31, 2023, the Company was party to 52 leases that had not yet commenced. Future payments under these leases were $92 million at March 31, 2023.

(13) Warrants

Public Warrants

The Company is party to issued and outstanding Warrants to purchase its Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits and/or extraordinary dividends, as described in the Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as warrant agent, in respect of the Warrant Agreement between Thayer and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (collectively, the “Warrant Agreement”). As of March 31, 2023, there were 8.6 million Public Warrants outstanding. Each of the Public Warrants are exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock.

The Company accounts for Public Warrants as liabilities at fair value within warrants on the condensed consolidated balance sheets because the Warrants do not meet the criteria for classification within equity. The Public Warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, the Public Warrants had a fair value of $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, a loss of $18 million and $0.1 million, respectively, were recorded in warrant fair value losses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Saks Warrants

In March 2023, the Company and Saks.com LLC (“Saks”) entered into a Commercial Referral and Marketing Agreement (the "Commercial Agreement") and a Warrant Agreement pursuant to which Saks may acquire up to 18 million shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (the “Saks Warrant Shares”). The Saks Warrant Shares shall vest and become exercisable by Saks based on certain subscription purchase referrals made by Saks to the Company under the terms of the Commercial Agreement. The exercise price with respect to the Saks Warrant Shares is $2.00 per share. Subject to certain conditions, including vesting conditions, the Saks Warrant Shares may be exercised, in whole or in part and for cash or on a net exercise basis, at any time before the later of the termination of the Commercial Agreement or 90 days after the final vesting of the Saks Warrant Shares.

(14) Equity of Inspirato LLC

For periods prior to the Business Combination, Inspirato LLC had equity-based compensation described in Note 15. Holders of the Inspirato LLC equity received Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock and New Common Units, pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination. The Company recast the units outstanding related to 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.

(15) Equity-Based Compensation

Unit Option Plan

Prior to the Business Combination, the board of Inspirato LLC maintained an equity-based compensation plan (the “Unit Option Plan”), which provided for the grant of options to purchase the Inspirato LLC’s common units, to Inspirato LLC’s employees, directors and consultants. No issuances under the Unit Option Plan have been made since January 2021 and the Unit Option Plan was terminated in connection with the Business Combination and no new equity awards may be issued thereunder; provided, however, that the Unit Option Plan continues to govern the terms and conditions of outstanding awards under the Unit Option Plan as of the time of its termination. Prior to the Unit Option Plan’s termination, Inspirato LLC only granted options under the Unit Option Plan. Options under the Unit Option Plan were granted at a price per unit equal to the fair value of the underlying common units at the date of grant. Options under the Unit Option Plan generally have a 10-year contractual term and vest over a three-year to five-year period starting from the date specified in each applicable option agreement.

Each Inspirato LLC option from the Unit Option Plan that was outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination, whether vested or unvested, was converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of the Class A Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio (the “Exchanged Options”). Except as specifically provided in the Business Combination agreement, following the Business Combination, each Exchanged Option has continued to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Inspirato LLC option immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. All stock option activity was retroactively restated to reflect the Exchanged Options.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2023, option expense remaining to be recognized was $0.4 million and will be recognized over the next two years. There were 7.6 million and 4.8 million shares of Class A Common Stock subject to outstanding options at March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. There were 26 thousand and 0.6 million options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Profits Interests

Prior to the Business Combination, Inspirato LLC granted awards of profits interests to certain key employees. In connection with the Business Combination, the profits interests were treated like other units in Inspirato LLC with respect to the consideration received as part of the Business Combination. Profits interests have been issued to certain executives. Each award of profits interests vests over the time period set forth in each individual profits interest award agreement underlying the award, subject to the applicable executive’s continued service. If an executive terminated service, any unvested profits interests held by such executive would be forfeited to Inspirato LLC. If Inspirato LLC experienced a “deemed liquidation event,” all of the then-outstanding and unvested profits interests would accelerate and fully vest upon a change of control event. Profits interests were non-voting profits interest incentive units pursuant to individual award agreements, which set forth such additional terms and conditions, including the vesting and forfeiture terms. The profits interests participate in the distributions upon vesting of the units. At both December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, there were 9.3 million as-converted profits interests issued and outstanding, and $0.6 million in profits interest expense remained to be recognized as of March 31, 2023 over the next three years. No profits interests have been issued since the consummation of the Business Combination.

2021 Plan

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan became effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination. Under the 2021 Plan, the Company may grant options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSU”) and performance awards to employees, directors and consultants. Subject to the adjustment provisions contained in the 2021 Plan and the evergreen provision described below, the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2021 Plan is (i) 15,900,000 shares of Class A Common Stock plus (ii) any shares subject to stock options or other awards that were assumed in the Business Combination and expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised in full, are tendered to or withheld by the Company for payment of an exercise price or for tax withholding obligations, or are forfeited to or repurchased by the Company due to failure to vest, with the maximum number of shares to be added to the 2021 Plan pursuant to clause (ii) equal to 7,453,734 shares of Class A Common Stock. The 2021 Plan also includes an evergreen provision that provides for an automatic annual increase to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2022 fiscal year, equal to the least of: (x) 19,900,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, (y) 5% of the total number of shares of all classes of the Company’s common stock as of the last day of the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year and (z) such lesser amount determined by the 2021 Plan’s administrator. The 2021 Plan provides that the evergreen provision will operate only until the 10^th anniversary of the earlier of the board or stockholder approval of the 2021 Plan. The RSUs are unvested and subject to each employee’s continued employment with the Company. The vesting start date for RSUs issued to existing employees as part of the first grant is January 1, 2022. Subsequent RSU grants have a vesting start date equal to the RSU grant date. Once granted, the RSUs vest over a period of three to four years. RSUs typically have a cliff vesting of one-third and one-fourth of the grant amount for three-year and four-year vesting periods, respectively, and continue to vest quarterly thereafter. The vesting term of each RSU is stated in the individual respective agreement.

At March 31, 2023, there was $28 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average of 2.9 years.

(16) Noncontrolling Interest

The financial results of Inspirato LLC and its subsidiaries are consolidated with and into Inspirato Incorporated. For the period February 11, 2022 through March 31, 2022, 58.8% of the consolidated net loss of Inspirato LLC has been allocated to the noncontrolling interests of Inspirato LLC. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, the Company issued 0 and 2,157,052 shares, respectively, of Class A Common Stock in exchange for the same number of New Common Units, resulting also in the cancellation of the same number of shares of Class V Common Stock.

(17) Employee Benefit Plan

The Company sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) plan (the “Plan”) that covers substantially all employees. Employees are eligible to begin participating in the Plan at the beginning of the first month following their employment with the Company. Employees participating in the Plan may contribute up to 90 percent of their compensation up to Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) annual limitations. The Company matches 50 percent of an employee’s contribution up to 6 percent of eligible pay with immediate 100 percent vesting. This match has a $1,500 per employee cap each year. The Plan provides for the Company to make a discretionary matching contribution. Total contributions to the Plan totaled $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

(18) Related Party Transactions

As part of the Portico acquisition in 2013, Inspirato LLC entered into certain ancillary and commercial arrangements with Exclusive Resorts, primarily involving the continuation of services to Portico members until such memberships terminate. At December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, balances due from related parties for these arrangements totaled $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Reverse Recapitalization

On February 11, 2022, the Company and Inspirato LLC consummated the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement whereby a subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Inspirato LLC, resulting in Inspirato LLC becoming a subsidiary of the Company. The Company changed its name to “Inspirato Incorporated” upon the Closing.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with Inspirato LLC identified as the accounting acquirer of Thayer. Under this method of accounting, Thayer was treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes. Upon the Closing, shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock were listed on Nasdaq and trade under the ticker symbol “ISPO.”

Prior to the Closing, the units representing equity interests in Inspirato LLC were held by (i) blockers, which were corporations (or entities treated as corporations for U.S. federal tax purposes) that were affiliated with certain institutional investors, and (ii) Continuing Inspirato Members, which consist of entities and individuals, including members of management and other employees of Inspirato LLC or its subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

The Company’s organizational structure is commonly referred to as an UP-C structure which allows Continuing Inspirato Members to retain their equity ownership in Inspirato LLC. Each Continuing Inspirato Member also holds a number of shares of Class V Common Stock equal to the number of New Common Units of Inspirato LLC held by such Continuing Inspirato Member. Class V Common Stock has no economic value but entitles the holder thereof to one (1) vote per share at any meeting of the shareholders of Inspirato Incorporated. Those institutional investors in Inspirato LLC who, prior to the Business Combination, held Inspirato LLC units through a blocker (“Blocker Shareholders”), by contrast, hold their equity ownership in Inspirato Incorporated in the form of Class A Common Stock. This structure allows the Continuing Inspirato Members to continue to realize the tax benefits associated with their ownership in an entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as well as to provide potential future tax benefits to Inspirato Incorporated (85% of which the Continuing Inspirato Member will benefit from pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement), which are expected to arise when the Continuing Inspirato Member ultimately exchange their New Common Units and Inspirato Incorporated Class V Common Stock for Class A Common Stock.

For accounting purposes, the financial statements of Inspirato Incorporated represent a continuation of the consolidated financial statements of Inspirato LLC with the Business Combination being treated as the equivalent of Inspirato LLC issuing shares for the net assets of Thayer, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Thayer were recognized as of the Business Combination at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are presented as those of Inspirato LLC and the accumulated deficit of Inspirato LLC has been carried forward after Closing. All periods prior to the Business Combination have been retrospectively adjusted using the Exchange Ratio for the equivalent number of shares outstanding immediately after the closing to effect the reverse recapitalization.

Key Business Metrics

We review a number of operating and financial metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and business plans, and make strategic decisions.

Active Subscriptions and Active Subscribers

We use Active Subscriptions to assess the adoption of our subscription offerings, which is a key factor in assessing our penetration of the market in which we operate and a key driver of revenue. We define Active Subscriptions as subscriptions as of the measurement date that are paid in full, as well as those for which we expect payment for renewal. Active Subscribers are subscribers who have one or more Active Subscription(s). As of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, we had over 14,000 and over 14,300 Active Subscribers, respectively.

At March 31, 2022, we had more than 15,200 Active Subscriptions which consisted of over 10,200 Legacy Inspirato Club (“Legacy”) subscriptions, over 3,300 Inspirato Pass (“Pass”) subscriptions, and over 1,700 New Inspirato Club (“Club”) subscriptions. In June 2022, we introduced Inspirato Select (“Select”) subscriptions. At March 31, 2023, we had over 15,700 Active Subscriptions which consisted of over 9,000 Legacy subscriptions, over 3,200 Pass subscriptions, over 40 Select subscriptions, and 3,300 Club subscriptions.

Legacy subscriptions had substantial enrollment fees and have annual dues that are lower than annualized dues for Club subscriptions. Club and Pass subscriptions are available through monthly, semi-annual, annual and multi-year contracts. The majority of our subscriptions are annual contracts including approximately half of the Club and Pass subscriptions. Inspirato Select memberships consist of club dues and sharable vacations purchasable in predetermined bundle sizes. Subscription revenue contributed approximately 40% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Annual Recurring Revenue

We believe that Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) is a key metric to measure our business performance because it is driven by our ability to acquire Active Subscriptions and to maintain our relationship with existing subscribers. ARR represents the amount of revenue that we expect to recur annually, enables measurement of the progress of our business initiatives and serves as an indicator of future growth. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue and is not intended to be a substitute for, or combined with, any of these items.

Table of Contents

ARR consists of contributions from our subscription revenue streams and does not include travel revenue or enrollment fees. Contracts related to our Inspirato for Good and Inspirato for Business offerings are excluded from our ARR calculation. We calculate ARR as the number of Active Subscriptions as of the end of a period multiplied by the then-current annualized subscription rate, without regard to any potential impact from promotions and discounts that may be offered from time to time, for each applicable subscription type at the end of the period for which ARR is being calculated. The majority of current Active Subscriptions are Legacy subscriptions. ARR is not a forecast of subscription revenue as subscription revenue includes enrollment fees and Active Subscriptions at the date used in calculating ARR may or may not be renewed by our subscribers in the future, but we believe it is a useful measure. In addition, revenues from certain Legacy subscriptions may be higher or lower than our then current annualized subscription rate as a result of previously offered or contractual renewal rates. ARR does not have a standardized meaning and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies in the luxury travel industry or that have subscription-based models. Our ARR was $147 million and $153 million at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Our subscription revenue as a percentage of total revenue remained relatively consistent from 39% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, to 40% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that the growth and future success of our business depend on many factors. While each of these factors presents significant opportunities for our business, they also pose important challenges that we have to successfully address in order to continue to grow our business and further improve our results of operations.

COVID-19 Pandemic

Since early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world and had an unprecedented effect on the global hospitality and travel industries. No impairments directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic were recorded during the periods presented. While COVID-19 continues to impact the world, through March 31, 2023 as restrictions were lifted across travel destinations, revenues recovered to pre-pandemic levels.

The trends in recovery continue to vary by region due to a variety of factors and the extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic over the longer term remain uncertain and dependent on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, including the impact of these and other factors on travel behavior in general, and on our business in particular.

Subscribers and Subscriptions

Our subscription revenue and operating results are impacted by our ability to attract and maintain subscribers. Increasing our subscriber base increases our revenues, gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA. We are continually working on improving our subscription offerings and the trips available on our Pass list to make our subscription products more appealing to current and potential subscribers.

Travel

Our travel revenue and operating results are impacted by the number of trips that we are able to deliver to our subscribers and members as well as the rates we charge for stays. Our revenue management team establishes nightly rates to optimize desired occupancy and revenue.

Cost and Expense Management

Our operating results are impacted by our ability to manage costs and expenses and achieve a balance between making investments to retain and grow subscribers and driving increased profitability. We are working on finding more opportunities to enhance gross margin and operate more efficiently, including reducing costs by taking additional operational and portfolio optimization actions. Additionally, we conducted a 12% workforce reduction in January 2023 in order to further manage costs. For more information, see “Actions that we are taking to review and optimize our business in alignment with our strategic priorities may not be as effective as anticipated.” in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the

Table of Contents

fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. We believe these opportunities will increase as our business grows and as we increase the number of properties in certain areas and thus, lower the cost of revenue.

Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Conditions

The travel industry is volatile and affected by economic cycles and trends. Travel is typically discretionary for subscribers and customers and may be affected by negative trends in the economy. Adverse macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions have impacted our business and may impact us in future periods. These conditions include but are not limited to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, inflation, labor shortages, fluctuations in fuel prices, changes in governmental regulations, safety concerns, foreign currency fluctuations, and rising interest rates and reduced consumer confidence resulting in lower consumer spending.

Seasonality

Our travel revenues are seasonal, reflecting typical travel behavior patterns of travelers over the course of the calendar year. In a typical year, the first, third, and fourth quarters have higher travel revenues than the second quarter. Our subscription services are seasonal to the extent that interest from potential new subscribers tends to also follow travel revenue, however revenues from existing subscribers are not impacted by seasonality.

Our key metrics, including total revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, are also impacted by the timing of holidays and other events. Holidays and other events generally increase the rates we are able to charge for travel which results in higher gross margin. The majority of our costs are relatively fixed across quarters.

Key Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We generate revenue from sales of subscriptions to our platform that grant access to book Inspirato residences and other privileges that vary based on the type of subscription. The two primary components of revenue are subscription revenue and travel revenue.

Subscription revenue is comprised of recurring dues, net of discounts and travel incentives provided to subscribers, and enrollment fees. Our subscription agreements typically have monthly or annual contractual terms. Our agreements are generally cancellable at the end of the contract term. Revenue is recognized ratably over the related contractual term generally beginning on the date that our platform is made available to a subscriber. We typically bill in advance for Club and Pass contracts. Amounts that have been billed are initially recorded as deferred revenue until the revenue is recognized. Enrollment fees for Pass, Select and Club subscriptions are typically recognized immediately when paid. Enrollment fees earned from Legacy subscriptions are recognized over the estimated life of the subscriptions of five years.

We derive our travel revenue from our travel operations, including per trip, nightly and service fees charged to our subscribers and guests per trip. A portion of travel revenue comes from guests who are not Active Subscribers. These guests include individuals who receive trial subscriptions under promotions with partners, including Wheels Up, Exclusive Resorts and others. Travel revenue related to stays in our residences is higher than travel revenue related to stays at our hotel partners because our residences generally have higher average nightly rates, as residences are typically larger and accommodate more guests than hotel rooms. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we delivered over 27,700 nights in our residences and over 15,200 nights in hotel rooms. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, we delivered over 29,800 nights in our residences and over 20,800 nights in hotel rooms. Travel revenue is generally recognized when travel occurs and amounts that have been billed are initially recorded as deferred revenue until recognized when travel occurs.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue includes costs directly related to delivering travel to our subscribers and guests as well as depreciation and amortization related to leasehold improvements and equipment at residences. These direct costs include payments for properties we lease, operating and maintenance costs of those properties, including on-site service personnel costs as well as costs paid to our hotel

Table of Contents

partners for subscriber stays. Cost of revenue may vary as a percentage of revenue from period to period based on the number of properties that we have under lease, and the mix of subscription and travel revenue that we earn.

Gross margin

Our gross margin may fluctuate from period to period based on the number and type of subscribers, seasonality of destinations, the number of leased properties in our portfolio, and nightly rates charged. We generally expect our gross margin to fluctuate in both the near term and long term with changes in subscriber counts, nightly rates and occupancy rates.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses include costs related to our overall operations, including executive management, finance and accounting, legal, people operations and corporate information services. General and administrative expenses also include all equity-based compensation costs related to all employees. We expect to continue to incur additional general and administrative costs as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses to comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC and stock exchange, as well as higher expenses for corporate insurance, director and officer insurance, investor relations and professional services. Overall, we expect that our general and administrative costs will vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue for the foreseeable future.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses include costs related to the sales and marketing of our products, including personnel related costs as well as costs paid for advertising and lead generation. We expect sales and marketing expense will vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue for the foreseeable future.

Operations

Operations expenses include costs related to providing, acquiring and managing our properties. It also includes providing subscriber services including costs for personnel working in our subscriber services teams, real estate development teams and the cost of subscriber benefits including lounges and events. We expect operations expense will vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue for the foreseeable future.

Technology and development

Technology and development expenses include costs related to development of our technology that supports our products, including website and app development and ongoing maintenance. These costs include the costs of personnel working on our development teams. We expect technology and development costs to stay relatively flat for the foreseeable future to the extent that we continue to develop and expand our product offerings.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses primarily consist of depreciation of property and equipment including furniture and fixtures, as well as amortization of capitalized internal-use software development costs. We expect depreciation and amortization expenses to stay relatively consistent in the near term as we continue to invest in internally developed technological solutions and refresh furnishings in our homes.

Interest, net

Interest consists primarily of interest expense incurred on our revolving credit facility and interest income earned on cash holdings.

Table of Contents

Other expense (income), net

Other expense (income), net consists primarily of miscellaneous non-recurring nonoperating income and expenses related to various agreements with third parties or one-time gains and losses related to disposals.

Warrant fair value losses (gains)

Warrant fair value gains or losses consist of the periodic change in the fair value of warrant liabilities. The fair value of the liability is evaluated at each period and the gain or loss flows through this line item.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023:

Revenue. Total revenue increased $9.6 million from $82 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $92 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of 12%, primarily due to an increase in Club memberships sold which also contributed to an increase in paid travel.

Subscription revenue increased $4.3 million from $32 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $36 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of 14%, primarily as a result of year over year growth of the subscriber base particularly related to Pass and Club subscriptions. These subscription products have a significantly lower enrollment fee than prior subscription products, which has contributed to an increase in overall subscription sales. Also, Pass and Club subscription products have higher per subscriber annual revenues than Legacy products. We had more than 15,200 Active Subscriptions and over 15,700 Active Subscriptions at March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Table of Contents

Travel revenue increased by $5.4 million, from $50 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $55 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of 11%, primarily due to the increase in the Club and Pass memberships driving an increase in paid travel. The average price per night in our residences increased 14% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 over the three months ended March 31, 2022, while the total number of paid nights in our residences decreased by 8%.

Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue increased $13 million from $47 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $60 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of 27%. This increase was primarily a result of higher direct travel costs resulting from increased travel and lease expenses on properties due to the addition of new properties to our portfolio. Our gross margin decreased $3.1 million from $35 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $32 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The gross margin percentage decreased seven percentage points from 42% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to 35% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses excluding equity-based compensation increased $0.2 million, or 1%, from the three months ended March 31, 2022 to the three months ended March 31, 2023. General and administrative employees were 153 and 157 at March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. Overall, our headcount and costs increased to accommodate growth within the business due to increased subscriber base, software system upgrades, and costs incurred as a result of operating as a publicly traded company. Our equity-based compensation increased $0.3 million from $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of 63%, as a result of new grants made in the second quarter of 2022 for which expense was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $3.5 million from $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of 34% due to reduced spending on advertising and reduced commissions expense due to capitalization of commissions earned on contracts sold with terms of greater than one year. Sales and marketing employees were 155 at both March 31, 2022 and 2023.

Operations. Operations expenses decreased $1.5 million from $9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of 15%, primarily due to a decrease in operations staff as a result of the January 2023 reduction in workforce. Operations employees were 345 and 291 at March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Technology and development. Technology and development expenses increased $0.6 million from $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of 20%, primarily due to increased investments in product development and strategic growth initiatives. Technology and development employees were 54 and 67 at March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $0.3 million from $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to recent property and equipment purchases in conjunction with furnishing a larger lease portfolio over the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to March 31, 2022.

Interest, net. Interest expense decreased from $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This change is due to our Revolver being paid-off in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in interest expense was offset by an increase in interest income from $4 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This change is due to the Company’s receipt of interest in relation to our cash investments.

Change in fair value of common stock warrant liability. Warrant fair value losses decreased $18 million, from an $18 million loss during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to a $0.1 million loss during the three months ended March 31, 2023. These losses are due to the fair valuation of our publicly traded warrants in each period. See Note 13 - Warrants in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Provision for income taxes. Our provision for income taxes consists of an estimate for foreign taxes as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in the tax law. We maintain a valuation allowance against the full value of our net deferred tax assets because we believe it is more likely than not that the recoverability of these deferred tax assets will not be realized. For periods prior to the Business Combination, Inspirato LLC was treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes as such did not record income tax expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our principal sources of liquidity have historically consisted of our operations activities primarily from subscription and travel revenue as well as our financing activities. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, we raised $90 million of gross proceeds. Additionally, we incurred $25 million in transaction costs during the three months ended March 31, 2022, consisting of banking, legal and other professional fees, of which $24 million was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital of proceeds and the remaining $1.1 million was expensed in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The total net cash proceeds to us were $66 million. We utilized the net proceeds received from the Business Combination to fund our operating cash needs and for continued investments in our growth strategies.

As of March 31, 2023, we had $60 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1.7 million of restricted cash. The Company repaid the Revolver in full in July 2022 and had not subsequently drawn on the Revolver. The Revolver was terminated in March 2023.

Since inception, we have consistently maintained a working capital deficit, in which our current liabilities exceed our current assets, primarily due to our significant deferred revenue related to travel that is paid in advance but not yet taken. Our cash needs vary from period to period primarily based on the timing of travel and sales promotions.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our rate of subscriber and revenue growth, travel bookings, change in the number of new residences and the timing and extent of spending on residences and other growth initiatives and overall economic conditions. Providing incentives or promotions for booking travel can and has historically increased our liquidity.

We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand will be sufficient to meet our projected working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least the next 12 months.

The following table sets forth general information derived from our consolidated statements of cash flows:


	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2022		2023

	(in thousands)
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(12,666)	$	(17,587)
Net cash used in investing activities		(1,170)		(3,209)
Net cash provided by financing activities		65,959		438
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	52,123	$	(20,358)

We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in new technologies, our competitive position could weaken, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Cash Flows

Cash flows used in operating activities. Cash used in operating activities was $13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $18 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 driven by changes in current assets and liabilities that resulted in cash outflows of $9.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $16 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. This was primarily the result of decreases in deferred revenue due to members taking advantage of one-time subscription offers leading to a decrease in current deferred revenue and an increase in members utilizing credit balances on their accounts for previously paid and untaken trips. Additional net working capital changes relate to a $4.4 million increase in prepaid experiences, $4.0 million in expense related to payment of bonuses, and $1.5 million increase in accounts receivable related to emerging product offerings.

Cash flows used in investing activities. Cash used in investing activities was $1.2 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. We incurred higher expenditures for leasehold improvements related to an expanded lease portfolio and ongoing internal software development projects.

Table of Contents

Cash flows provided by financing activities. Cash flow from financing activities decreased from providing $66 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to providing $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The primary reason for the decrease was that in 2022, $90 million in proceeds were received as a result of the reverse recapitalization, which was partially offset by $24 million used in the payment of reverse recapitalization costs and repayments of debt. No such events took place during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we use Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Free Cash Flow as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our business and financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors about our business and financial performance, enhance their overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in their financial and operational decision making. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing our business and financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing results of operations of our business over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.

There are limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures, including that they exclude significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial measures. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Thus, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

We provide a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBTIDA Margin and Free Cash Flow to their respective related GAAP financial measures. We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Free Cash Flow in conjunction with their respective related GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted Net Loss

Adjusted Net Loss is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income (loss) before warrant fair value gains and losses.

The above item is excluded from our Adjusted Net Loss measure because our management believes that these costs and expenses are not indicative of our core operating performance and do not reflect the underlying economics of our business. The following table represents a reconciliation of our net loss to Adjusted Net Loss:

Net loss	$	(24,203)	$	(5,903)
Warrant fair value losses		17,670		104
Adjusted Net Loss	$	(6,533)	$	(5,799)

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation expense, warrant fair value gains and losses, and public company readiness expenses.

Table of Contents

The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because our management believes that these costs and expenses are not indicative of our core operating performance and do not reflect the underlying economics of our business.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin (1)			(4.5)	%		(3.4)	%

(1) We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue for the same period.

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and additions to capitalized software. We believe that Free Cash Flow is a meaningful indicator of liquidity that provides information to our management and investors about the amount of cash generated from operations, after purchases of property and equipment and additions to capitalized software, that can be used for strategic initiatives. Our Free Cash Flow is impacted by the timing of bookings because we collect travel revenue between the time of booking and 30 days before a stay or experience occurs. The following table presents the components of Free Cash Flow.

Lease Obligations

We have obligations under operating leases, primarily for vacation properties and our corporate headquarters. The leases may require us to pay taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance costs. See Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company was party to 52 leases that had not yet commenced. Future payments under these leases were $92 million at March 31, 2023.

Our Revolver, which had a balance of $0 at December 31, 2022, was terminated in March 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. The estimates and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, impacting our reported results of operations and financial condition.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

For information on recently adopted accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Our principal market risks are our exposure to interest rates and foreign currency risks.

Interest Rate Risk

Changes in interest rates affect the interest earned on total cash as well as interest paid on debt.

We have not been exposed to, nor anticipate exposure to, material risks due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 100 basis points increase or decrease in interest rates would not have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency risk related expenditures that we incur in foreign countries. Many of our leases, which are the most significant component of operating costs in foreign countries are denominated in U.S. dollars and thus do not result in foreign currency risk. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, our expenditures included $4.0 million in foreign currencies, primarily in Mexican Pesos and Euros. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Mexican Peso and Euro would not have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, and as a result of the material weaknesses described below, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that as of March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level. Nevertheless, based on the performance of additional procedures by management designed to ensure reliability of financial reporting, our management has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weaknesses described below, the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates, and for each of the periods presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As disclosed in “Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, in connection with our assessment of controls over financial reporting during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we identified a material weaknesses in our internal controls. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The previously identified material weaknesses continue to exist as of March 31, 2023 primary related to (1) the implementation and ongoing accounting for new accounting standards, specifically, ASC 842, Leases, and the ongoing accounting for the Company’s controlled and managed properties under ASC 842; (2) the establishment and design of processes and controls over financial closing and reporting processes, to document and monitor certain controls over financial reporting; and (3) the design and effectiveness of IT general controls, including users’ access rights related to certain IT systems and segregation of duties related to the administration of those IT systems that support the Company’s financial reporting process.

Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In response to the material weaknesses identified in “Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, we, with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, developed a plan to remediate the material weaknesses. Remediation activities include:

●

Continue to hire, train and retain individuals with appropriate skill and experience related to designing, operating and documenting internal control over financial reporting;

●

Communicate expectations, monitor for compliance with expectations, and hold individuals accountable for their roles related to internal control over financial reporting;

●

Design and implement a comprehensive and continuous risk assessment process to identify and assess financial statement risks and ensure that the financial reporting process and related internal controls are in place to respond to those risks; and

●

Enhance the design of and implement additional process-level control activities and ensure they are properly evidenced and operating effectively.

We have increased our headcount within the finance organization and continue to train our employees on the importance of control execution and risk assessment procedures. Additionally, we have engaged the services of third-party consultants to assist with the design and implementation of an enterprise level control framework and associated control activities. We believe the foregoing efforts will effectively remediate the material weaknesses but because the reliability of the internal control process requires repeatable execution, the successful on-going remediation of the material weaknesses will require ongoing review and evidence of effectiveness prior to concluding that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the remediation measures discussed above, during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party to any material litigation or legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, negative publicity, reputational harm and other factors.

Class Action Complaint Relating to Restatement

On February 16, 2023, a class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in the District of Colorado captioned Keith Koch, Individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Inspirato Incorporated, Brent Handler, and R. Webster Neighbor. The complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder against all defendants, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants. The complaint seeks certification as a class action and class representative, as well as an unspecified amount of damages, attorneys' fees, expenses, and other costs. The complaint generally alleges that certain of our prior public statements about our results of operations and financial condition were materially false and misleading because they misrepresented and failed to disclose adverse facts pertaining to the restatement of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2022.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, except for the following:

There can be no assurance that our securities will continue to be listed on Nasdaq or that will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.

Our Class A Common Stock and Warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “ISPO” and “ISPOW,” respectively.

On February 14, 2022, we received written notice from the Staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq stating that the Staff had determined that the we had not complied with the requirements of IM-5101-2 because (i) we had not demonstrated that our Class A Common Stock complied with the minimum 400 Round Lot Holder requirement in Listing Rule 5405(a)(3) and (ii) our Warrants did not qualify for initial listing since the security underlying the Warrant, our Class A Common Stock, did not qualify.

On March 9, 2022, we received a letter from the Staff of Nasdaq informing us that we had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2 and that we were in compliance with the Nasdaq Global Market’s listing requirements and our securities continue to trade on Nasdaq. Even though we were able to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing standards with respect to our Class A Common Stock and Warrants, we can provide no assurance that we can maintain compliance with those standards.

On November 18, 2022, we received a notice from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying us that we were not in compliance with the periodic filing requirements for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of our failure to file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 with the SEC by the required due date. We filed our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 on December 19, 2022 to regain compliance with Nasdaq Global Market’s listing requirements.

On May 3, 2023, we received a notice from the Staff of Nasdaq that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), because the minimum bid price of our Class A Common Stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days (the “Notice”). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our Class A Common Stock or warrants on The Nasdaq Global Market.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have 180 calendar days, or until October 30, 2023, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our Class A Common Stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-calendar day grace period, unless Nasdaq exercises its discretion to extend this ten-day period. In the event we do not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by October 30, 2023, we may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period we elect to transfer to The

Table of Contents

Nasdaq Capital Market. To qualify, we would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. However, if it appears to Nasdaq’s staff that we will not be able to cure the deficiency or if we are otherwise not eligible, or if our Class A Common Stock has a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days during any such compliance period, Nasdaq would notify us that our securities would be subject to delisting. We may appeal any such determination to delist our securities, but there can be no assurance that any such appeal would be successful.

We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our stock and assess potential actions to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), including by proposing a reverse stock split for stockholder approval, if necessary. There can be no assurance that we will regain compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) or will otherwise be in compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.

If Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, we and our stockholders could face significant negative consequences including:

●

limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

●

a determination that our Class A Common Stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our Class A Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules,

●

possible reduction in the level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for shares of our Class A Common Stock;

●

a limited amount of analyst coverage; and

●

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
