Inspirato Announces 2022 Results, CFO Succession Plan and Provides 2023 Guidance
DENVER, March 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Inspirato Incorporated (“Inspirato” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ISPO), the innovative luxury travel subscription brand, today announced its 2022 fourth quarter and full-year financial and operating results and provided updated 2023 guidance.
2022 Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Highlights:
- Total Revenue. Total revenue of $87 million for the fourth quarter, representing 27% year-over-year growth and a 7% sequential decrease compared to the third quarter of 2022. Full-year 2022 revenue was $346 million, 47% year-over-year growth compared to $235 million in 2021.
- Subscription Base. Active Subscriptions of 16,100, including 3,600 Inspirato Pass subscriptions at year-end 2022, representing year-over-year increases of 8% and 19%, respectively, and sequential quarterly decreases of 1% and 7%, respectively.
- Strong Demand. Increased Total Nights Delivered by 31% to 188,000 in 2022 compared to 143,000 in 2021.
- Portfolio Optimization. Ended 2022 with 733 Controlled Accommodations, a 36% net increase compared to 538 Controlled Accommodations at year-end 2021. The Company has moderated its pace of Controlled Accommodations growth in recent quarters as it focuses on gross margins to drive future profitability.
- Expanded Market with New Offerings. Launched innovative new platforms, Inspirato for Good (“IFG”) and Inspirato for Business (“IFB”), to expand its Total Addressable Market and diversify revenue streams.
2023 Highlights:
- Announced strategic partnership with Saks, the premier digital platform for luxury fashion. Nearly 3,000 Saks stylists and personal shoppers will be enabled to introduce Inspirato’s subscription offerings to their luxury customers, both online and in Saks Fifth Avenue stores. Saks has the opportunity to earn commissions and incentive-based warrants to acquire Inspirato shares with an exercise price of $2 per share. Based on Saks successfully converting their digital and in-store customers to paying Inspirato subscribers, Saks may exercise these performance warrants to acquire up to a cap of approximately 15% of Inspirato’s current total shares outstanding.
- The Company is revising its full-year 2023 revenue guidance downward and now anticipates total revenue between $350 and $370 million, approximately 4% growth at the mid-point compared to 2022 as the Company prioritizes accelerating its path to profitability.
- Anticipated total operating expense, excluding stock-based compensation, between $135 and $140 million compared to $153 million in 2022.
- Anticipated adjusted EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP measure defined below, between a loss of $10 million and $20 million.
These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the Forward-Looking Statements safe harbor below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.
Forward looking Adjusted EBITDA is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure. The Company is unable to reconcile forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to net income, its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, without unreasonable effort, as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as equity-based compensation expense. However, it is important to note that material changes to reconciling items could have a significant effect on our future GAAP results.
Management Commentary
Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Brent Handler commented, “2022 was a good year for Inspirato as we accomplished many of the goals set before us while adapting to a rapidly changing macro landscape. We began the year operating amidst the uncertainty surrounding the ongoing impacts of the pandemic while successfully completing our business combination and becoming publicly traded. We rapidly grew both our subscriber base and portfolio to meet the demands of revenge travel before quickly pivoting to a focus on our path to profitability. All the while, we delivered incredible trips and experiences to our highly valued members as evidenced by our industry-leading net promoter score of more than 70 in 2022, our fifth consecutive year with an NPS score of 70 or higher. In 2023, our mission is to continue to press forward on our path to profitability.”
“We continue to execute on our previously announced focus on portfolio optimization and profitability, which we anticipate will deliver improved gross margins over time,” added Chief Financial Officer, Web Neighbor.

Chief Financial Officer to be Appointed as Chief Strategy Officer; Successor Recruitment Plan Announced
Inspirato announced today that its Chief Financial Officer Web Neighbor will be taking on a new mandate as Chief Strategy Officer, and that the Company has engaged an executive search firm to identify his future successor. Mr. Neighbor will continue serving as Chief Financial Officer until a replacement is appointed by the Board of Directors. As Chief Strategy Officer, Mr. Neighbor will have a dedicated focus on leading corporate development, debt and equity capital markets, investor engagement, and strategic partnerships.
“I would like to thank Web for his invaluable contributions as Inspirato’s Chief Financial Officer. Web has been a fantastic partner to me over the past couple of years, and has been instrumental in guiding us through the negotiation and execution of our transformational merger a year ago and throughout our transition to performing as a public company,” said Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Brent Handler.
2023 Guidance
In 2023, the Company’s primary focus is on positioning itself to achieve profitability, on an adjusted EBITDA basis, in the near-term, by improving its operating efficiencies and cost structure and continuing to focus on portfolio optimization.
In the past two years, the Company successfully increased the supply of its Controlled Accommodations by nearly 100% from 368 to 733 to meet current and anticipated future demand. Several initiatives are aimed at optimizing this economic availability, including loyalty and reward opportunities for existing subscribers, removing and renegotiating underperforming supply, use of proven distribution channels and leveraging new member acquisition strategies such as IFB, IFG and the aforementioned Saks partnership. The increase in supply, coupled with reduced anticipated Pass subscriptions, is expected to contribute to lower than expected paid residence occupancy in 2023 compared to prior years with anticipated full-year total revenue between $350 and $370 million. The Company’s 2023 adjusted EBITDA guidance of a loss of $10 million to $20 million represents an improvement of more than $15 million at the mid-point compared to 2022.
In January 2023, the Company streamlined operations by reducing its corporate headcount by approximately 12% to more appropriately align with its goal of profitability. The Company projects approximately $10 million of savings in 2023, net of non-recurring severance-related expenses of approximately $0.5 million to be incurred in the first half of the year. As such, the Company’s 2023 operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, are anticipated to be between $135 and $140 million, compared to $153 million in 2022.
These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the Forward-Looking Statements safe harbor below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.
Forward looking Adjusted EBITDA is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure. The Company is unable to reconcile forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to net income, its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, without unreasonable effort, as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as equity-based compensation expense. However, it is important to note that material changes to reconciling items could have a significant effect on our future GAAP results.
Reconciliation of Non- GAAP Financial Measures
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 compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA 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 loss, 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 non-controlling interests excluding gain on forgiveness of debt and warrant fair value gains and losses.
The above items are 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.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation expense, warrant fair value gains and losses, pandemic related severance costs, public company readiness expenses, and gain on forgiveness of debt.
The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA (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.
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. See below for reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures.
Key Business Metrics
We use a number of operating and financial metrics, including the following key business metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and business plans, and make strategic decisions. We regularly review and may adjust our processes for calculating our internal metrics to improve their accuracy.
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).
Annual Recurring Revenue. We believe that 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. ARR consists of contributions from our subscription revenue streams and does not include travel revenue or enrollment fees. We calculate ARR as the number of Active Subscriptions as of the end of a period multiplied by the then-current annualized subscription rate for each applicable subscription type at the end of the period for which ARR is being calculated.
Other Operating Metrics
Controlled Accommodations. Controlled Accommodations includes leased residences, hotel penthouses, suites and rooms, and residences under net rate agreements, including those that have executed agreements but have not yet been released for booking by our members.
Total Nights Delivered. Total Nights Delivered includes all Paid, Inspirato Pass, Inspirato for Good, Inspirato for Business, employee and other complimentary nights in all residences or hotels.
Total Occupancy. Total Occupancy is inclusive of Paid, Inspirato Pass, Inspirato for Good, Inspirato for Business, employee and other complimentary nights in residences.
Net Promoter Score (NPS). NPS is a customer satisfaction metric taken from asking customers how likely they are to recommend Inspirato to others on a scale of 0-10. Inspirato’s reported NPS is measured after travel within Inspirato’s managed and controlled portfolio.
