Investors should consider the risks and uncertainties described herein and should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim, any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
2
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, events, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

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 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.

INSPIRATO INCORPORATED
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(1) Nature of Business
Inspirato Incorporated and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, also referred to as “Inspirato”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) 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 consolidated financial statements presented herein represent the operating results of Inspirato LLC before and after the Business Combination.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
These unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of 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 consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes (collectively, the “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 June 30, 2023 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 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 unit 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-
All amounts presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts and unless otherwise noted.
Refer to Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Form 10-K for a summary and discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as updated below.
8
(b) Principles of Consolidation
For the periods after February 11, 2022, the Consolidated Financial Statements comprise the accounts of the Company, 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.
(c) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Changes in facts and circumstances or discovery of new information may result in revised estimates, and actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to valuation and estimated economic lives of capitalized software and long-lived assets, incremental borrowing rates as they relate to leases, contingencies, allowance accounts, lease revenue forecasts as it relates to impairment, and fair value measurements related to stock-based compensation.
(d) Goodwill
The Company performs its annual impairment review of goodwill at December 1 and when a triggering event occurs between annual impairment tests. At June 30, 2023, management determined that a triggering event occurred in relation to the impairment of asset groups related to the Company’s operating leases. The Company performed a qualitative assessment and determined based on that assessment that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than its carrying value. As such,
(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 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 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 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 $
9
(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
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
Accordingly, the Consolidated 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 $

(7) Income Taxes
At June 30, 2023, Inspirato Incorporated holds
The effective income tax rate was negative
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 June 30, 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.

(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 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.
(10) Net loss attributable to Inspirato Incorporated per Class A share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common unit and Class A share. 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.
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. Share amounts below are presented in thousands.

Litigation
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings. The Company establishes reserves for specific legal proceedings when 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 consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022.

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.
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.

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.

OVERVIEW
Inspirato 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.
For travelers, we offer access to a diverse portfolio of curated luxury vacation options that includes 480 private luxury vacation homes available to our subscribers, and accommodations at 290 luxury hotel and resort partners in 230 destinations around the world as of June 30, 2023. Our portfolio also includes Inspirato Only, featuring one-of-a-kind luxury safaris, cruises and other experiences and Bespoke, which offers custom-designed “bucket list” itineraries. Every Inspirato trip comes with our personalized service envelope — including pre-trip planning, on-site concierge and daily housekeeping — designed to meet the needs of discerning travelers and drive exceptional customer satisfaction.
In the third quarter of 2022, we developed two new product offerings: Inspirato for Good (“IFG”) and Inspirato for Business (“IFB”). IFG is our turnkey solution assisting nonprofits in their fundraising. Through this new platform, we partner with nonprofit organizations to sell luxury travel packages at live and silent auctions, paddle raises, and other giving channels. IFB represents our business-to-business channel whereby we seek to target the incentive travel market by providing companies with a ready-to-use travel solution to reward and retain their employees and business partners. We believe both IFG and IFB will offer opportunities for significant growth at a lower customer acquisition cost.
In August 2023, we launched Inspirato Rewards (“Rewards”), a new member loyalty program. Rewards will provide our members with exclusive discounts and benefits based on their yearly activity with us. Members who earn one of the three Rewards’ statuses will enjoy, among other benefits, extra savings on Club bookings, early access to new releases, and complimentary nights based on their spending with us.
Capital One Ventures Strategic Partnership and Investment
In August 2023, the Company and an affiliate of Capital One entered into a definitive agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) for a $25 million strategic investment by Capital One in the Company through the private placement of an 8% Senior Secured Convertible Note due in 2028. The Note will be convertible at an initial conversion price of $1.50 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments upon certain events, including any dividend of Company securities or other property, stock split, stock combination (including any stock combination occurring prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement), reclassification, consolidation, merger or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, with interest payments payable in cash or by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Note (pay-in-kind interest) at the Company’s election. The Note will be a senior secured obligation of the Company and its guarantor subsidiaries. The Company and its guarantor subsidiaries will grant a first priority security interest in substantially all of their assets as security for the Company’s obligations under the Note.
20
The issuance and sale of the Note is conditioned upon the Company and an affiliate of Capital One entering into a commercial agreement and the receipt of specified stockholder approvals and the effectiveness of certain amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation. See Note 19 - “Subsequent Events” within the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details. For risks related to the Note and pending transactions with Capital One see “Risk Factors” in Part II. Item 1A. of this report.
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.
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 define Active Subscriptions as subscriptions that are paid in full, as well as those for which we expect payment for renewal. 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 Subscribers as subscribers who have one or more Active Subscription(s).
As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023, we had approximately 14,300 and approximately 14,000 Active Subscribers, respectively. At June 30, 2022, we had approximately 15,700 Active Subscriptions which consisted of approximately 10,000 Legacy Inspirato Club
21
(“Legacy”) subscriptions, approximately 3,600 Inspirato Pass (“Pass”) subscriptions, and approximately 2,000 New Inspirato Club (“Club”) subscriptions. At June 30, 2023, we had approximately 15,200 Active Subscriptions which consisted of approximately 8,700 Legacy subscriptions, approximately 3,000 Pass subscriptions, and approximately 3,500 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.
Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”)
ARR is a measure of 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. Contracts related to our IFG and IFB 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, 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 $157 million and $149 million at June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
Our subscription revenue as a percentage of total revenue was 42% and 43% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively, and 41% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 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.
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 Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“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 and a further 6% workforce reduction in
22
July 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”.
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 results, including total revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow (as defined below), 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 enrollment fees and recurring dues, net of discounts and travel incentives provided to subscribers. Our subscription agreements typically auto-renew after an initial monthly, yearly, or multi-year term. Our agreements are generally cancellable by providing 30 days notice, and subscription payments are non-refundable. 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 subscriptions. 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 six months ended June 30, 2022, we delivered approximately 55,500 nights in our residences and approximately 34,300 nights in hotel rooms. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we delivered approximately 57,700 nights in our residences and approximately 40,300 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
23
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.
Asset impairment
Asset impairment will fluctuate from period to period based on the performance of our properties, forecasted results, and the results of our impairment assessments in each quarter. We generally expect that we will continue to impair right-of-use assets and related property and equipment related to our operating leases over the near term while we continue to right size our portfolio. In particular, we expect to immediately impair several leases yet to commence when we receive control of the properties in future periods. These leases are related to the group of underperforming properties in a single geographic location which were primarily responsible for the asset impairment which occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
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 Nasdaq, as well as higher expenses for commercial 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 increase in the near term as a result of the formation of the member success group and the corresponding movement of individuals from operations to sales and marketing.
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 decrease moving forward as a result of the formation of the member success group and the corresponding movement of individuals from operations to sales and marketing.
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 decrease moving forward primarily due to the reduction in force that took place during July 2023, which was weighted towards personnel within the technology and development department. This decrease may be offset by 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.
24
Interest, net
Interest consists primarily of interest expense incurred on our revolving credit facility and interest income earned on cash holdings.
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 of fixed assets.
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 June 30, 2022 and 2023:
Revenue. Revenue remained flat at $84 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Subscription revenue remained flat at $36 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily as a result of growth of Club subscriptions offset by attrition in Legacy and Pass subscriptions. Pass and Club subscription products have a significantly lower enrollment fee than prior subscription products. Pass and Club subscription products have higher per subscriber annual revenues than Legacy products.
25
Travel revenue remained flat at $48 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. While the number of paid nights in our residences decreased by 16%, the average price per paid night in our residences increased 2% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 over the three months ended June 30, 2022. Additionally the total number of paid nights in our hotels increased by 9% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 over the three months ended June 30, 2022. Total nights delivered in our portfolio increased 1% period over period.
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue increased $7.3 million from $57 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $65 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 13%. 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.
Asset impairment. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we identified 33 leases for which the right-of-use assets and related property and equipment had net carrying values that exceeded their estimated fair value as determined by their estimated discounted future cash flows. A majority of these leases were related to one group of underperforming properties in a single geographic location. Based on this information we recorded right-of-use asset impairments of $30 million and property and equipment impairment of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. See Note 11 – Leases in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
Gross Margin. Our gross margin decreased $37 million from $26 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to negative $11 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Likewise, the gross margin percentage decreased from 31% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to negative 13% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This was in large part due to the asset impairment expense incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 which were not incurred in the prior year.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses excluding equity-based compensation increased $0.3 million from the three months ended June 30, 2022 to the three months ended June 30, 2023 an increase of 2%. General and administrative employees were 144 and 161 at June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively. Overall, our headcount and costs increased to accommodate growth within the business due to software system upgrades, and costs incurred as a result of operating as a publicly traded company. Our equity-based compensation increased $1.3 million from $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 54% largely due to new grants made in the second quarter of 2023.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $3.1 million from $11 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of 28%. The decrease was primarily 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. As of May 15, 2023, a number of employees that were formerly within operations changed roles within the Company to focus on member success operations, including facilitation of trip sales and extending existing memberships. Sales and marketing employees were 181 and 255 at June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Operations. Operations expenses decreased $4.8 million from $11 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of 43%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in operations staff as a result of the January 2023 reduction in workforce, as well as the transfer of employees from operations to sales on May 15, 2023. Operations employees were 368 and 287 at June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Technology and development. Technology and development expenses increased $0.1 million from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 5%. The increase was primarily due to increased investments in product development and strategic growth initiatives. Technology and development employees were 77 and 65 at June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $0.3 million from $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to property and equipment purchases in conjunction with furnishing a larger lease portfolio over the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to June 30, 2022.
Interest, net. Interest expense decreased from $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 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 $25 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This change is due to the Company’s receipt of interest in relation to our cash investments.
26
Change in fair value of common stock warrant liability. Warrant fair value gains decreased $11 million, from an $11 million gain during the three months ended June 30, 2022 to a $0.4 million gain during the three months ended June 30, 2023 These gains are due to the fair value changes of our publicly traded warrants in each period. See Note 13 - Warrants in our unaudited interim 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 and as such did not record income tax expense.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023:
Revenue. Revenue increased $10 million from $166 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $176 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 an increase of 6%.
Subscription revenue increased $4.8 million from $68 million for six months ended June 30 2022, to $73 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 7%, primarily as a result of growth of Club subscriptions. Pass and Club subscription products have a significantly lower enrollment fee than Legacy products, which has contributed to an increase in overall subscription sales and have higher per subscriber annual revenues than Legacy products. Increases in subscribers in these subscription products were offset by attrition of Legacy members during the period.
Travel revenue increased $5.3 million from $98 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $103 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 5%, partially due to an increase in Club memberships driving an increase in paid travel. The average price per paid night in our residences increased 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, while the total number of paid nights in our residences decreased by 12%. This was offset by an increase in our paid nights in our hotels of 20% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 over the six months ended June 30, 2022.
27
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue increased $20 million from $105 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $125 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 19%. 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.
Asset impairment. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we identified 33 leases for which the right-of-use assets and related property and equipment had net carrying values that exceeded their estimated fair value as determined by their estimated discounted future cash flows. A majority of these leases were related to one group of underperforming properties in a single geographic location. Based on this information, we recorded right-of-use asset impairments of $30 million and property and equipment impairment of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. See Note 11 – Leases in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
Gross Margin. Our gross margin decreased $40 million from $61 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $21 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Likewise, the gross margin percentage decreased 25 percentage points from 37% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This was in large part due to the asset impairment expense incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 which were not incurred in the prior year.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses excluding equity-based compensation increased $0.5 million from the six months ended June 30, 2022 to the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 1%. General and administrative employees were 144 and 161 at June 30, 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 $1.6 million from $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 ended to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 55%, primarily as a result of new grants made in the second quarter of 2022 and 2023 for which expense was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $6.6 million from $21 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $15 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of 31%. The decrease was primarily 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. As of May 15, 2023, a number of employees that were formerly within operations changed roles within the Company to focus on member success operations, including facilitation of trip sales and extending existing memberships. Sales and marketing employees were 181 and 255 at June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Operations. Operations expenses decreased $6.2 million from $21 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $15 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of 30%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in operations staff as a result of the January 2023 reduction in workforce, as well as the transfer of employees from operations to sales related to the May 15, 2023 focus on member success operations. Operations employees were 368 and 287 at June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Technology and development. Technology and development expenses increased $0.7 million from $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 12%. The increase was primarily due to increased investments in product development and strategic growth initiatives. Technology and development employees were 77 and 65 at June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $0.6 million from $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to property and equipment purchases in conjunction with furnishing a larger lease portfolio over the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to June 30, 2022.
Interest, net. Interest expense decreased from $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 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 $30 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 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 $6.8 million, from a $6.5 million loss during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to a $0.3 million gain during the six months ended June 30, 2023. These gains and losses are due to the fair value changes of our publicly traded warrants in each period. See Note 13 - Warrants in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

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 six months ended June 30, 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 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 June 30, 2023, we had $44 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1.7 million of restricted cash. The Company repaid the Revolver in full in July 2022 and did not subsequently draw on the Revolver, which was terminated in March 2023.
In August 2023, the Company and an affiliate of Capital One entered into a definitive agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) for a $25 million strategic investment by Capital One in the Company through the private placement of an 8% Senior Secured Convertible Note due in 2028. The Note will be convertible at an initial conversion price of $1.50 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments upon certain events, including any dividend of Company securities or other property, stock split, stock combination (including any stock combination occurring prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement), reclassification, consolidation, merger or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, with interest payments payable in cash or by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Note (pay-in-kind interest) at the Company’s election. The Note will be a senior secured obligation of the Company and its guarantor subsidiaries. The Company and its guarantor subsidiaries will grant a first priority security interest in substantially all of their assets as security for the Company’s obligations under the Note. The issuance and sale of the Note is conditioned upon customary closing conditions. The issuance and sale of the Note is also conditioned upon the Company and an affiliate of Capital One entering into a commercial agreement and the receipt of specified stockholder approvals and the effectiveness of certain amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation. For more detail on the Note, see Note 19. “Subsequent Events” within the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details. For risks related to the Note and pending transactions with Capital One see “Risk Factors” in Part II. Item 1A. of this report.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 and subscriptions that are 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 residences and the timing and extent of spending on residences and other 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.

Cash Flows
Cash flows used in operating activities. Cash used in operating activities was $26 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $29 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 driven by net loss and changes in current assets and liabilities. This increase 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 $2.2 million increase in prepaid experiences, $42 million in expense related to lease payments, and $3.8 million decrease in accrued liabilities.
Cash flows used in investing activities. Cash used in investing activities was $5.1 million and $7.1 million for six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively. We incurred higher expenditures in 2023 for leasehold improvements related to an expanded lease portfolio and ongoing internal software development projects in 2023.
Cash flows provided by financing activities. Cash flow from financing activities decreased from providing $72 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to providing $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The primary reason for the decrease was that in the six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 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
We define Adjusted Net Loss as net loss and comprehensive loss less warrant fair value gains and losses and asset impairment.
The above items are excluded from Adjusted Net Loss because our management believes that they are not indicative of our core operating performance and do not reflect the underlying economics of our business. The following table presents a reconciliation of our net loss and comprehensive loss, the closest GAAP measure, to Adjusted Net Loss:

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) and comprehensive loss less interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation expense, warrant fair value gains and losses, asset impairment, and public company readiness expenses. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue for the same period.
The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because our management believes that they are not indicative of our core operating performance and do not reflect the underlying economics of our business.

(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 development of internal-use 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 development of internal-use 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.

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. We have been undergoing a lease optimization process whereby we have renegotiated certain leases and terminated certain leases, depending on the individual lease situation. See Note 11 – Leases in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company was party to 39 leases that had not yet commenced. Future payments under these leases were $54 million at June 30, 2023.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our 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 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 those 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 consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in 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 and cash equivalents 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 consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency risk, mainly related to non-lease operating 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 and six months ended June 30, 2023, our operating expenditures denominated in foreign currencies were approximately $6.4 million and $10 million, mostly denominated 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 consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.
32
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 June 30, 2023 primarily 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 June 30, 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.
33
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 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 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:
We may require additional capital to continue to operate, and this capital might not be available in a timely manner, on acceptable terms or at all.
Despite our measures to reduce operating costs and improve operating margins, we may require additional capital to continue to operate, and this capital may not be available in a timely manner, on acceptable terms or at all. We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to source new properties or experiences or enhance our existing properties or experiences, enhance our operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds.
Our efforts to raise additional funding may divert our management from its day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our financial condition. Moreover, the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our stockholders and the issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our Class A Common Stock to decline. If additional funds are raised through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities issued could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders our Class A common stock. Any debt financing could involve restrictive covenants relating to financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions or strategic partnerships. For example, the Note Financing provides for limitations on our future ability to borrow money. For more detail on such restrictions, see the Risk Factor below entitled “The Note Financing and related transactions contain restrictions that will limit our flexibility in operating our business.”
Even assuming the consummation of the Note Financing as currently contempalted, we expect that significant additional capital may be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. If we do not consummate the Note Financing, we may need to raise additional capital sooner than expected or on less favorable terms than what might otherwise be available. Raising additional capital through one or more of these alternatives may further dilute our shareholders or place us under more stringent restrictive covenants, limiting our ability to operate freely.
34
The Note Financing is subject to conditions to closing and will not be completed unless the conditions are satisfied or waived. If the Note Financing is not completed, our future business and financial results could be negatively affected.
Our and Capital One’s obligations to consummate the Note Financing are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions. These conditions include, among other conditions, our entry into a commercial agreement with an affiliate of Capital One, obtaining requisite stockholder approvals, compliance by the parties with certain pre-closing covenants and the accuracy of representations and warranties made by the parties. In addition, if the Note Financing is not completed by the termination date specified in the Investment Agreement, or certain other events have occurred that prevent the closing conditions from being satisfied, either we or Capital One may choose to terminate the Investment Agreement. There can be no assurance that the Note Financing will be consummated.
If the Note Financing is delayed, terminated or otherwise not completed, we would not realize any of the expected benefits of the Note Financing and may suffer other consequences that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and stock price, including, among others:
● | we have incurred and may continue to incur costs relating to the Note Financing, including, as applicable, professional fees and expenses, fees and costs relating to regulatory filings and notices, and other transaction-related costs, fees and expenses. These costs are payable by us whether or not the Note Financing is completed. If the Note Financing is not completed, we will have incurred substantial expenses for which no ultimate benefit will have been received by us; |
● | matters related to the Note Financing have required, and will continue to require, substantial commitments of time and resources by our management team and numerous others throughout our organization, which could otherwise have been devoted to other activities; |
● | we may be subject to legal proceedings related to the Note Financing or the failure to complete the Note Financing, which could be time consuming and expensive, could divert our management’s attention away from their regular business and, if any lawsuit is adversely resolved against us or a party indemnified by us, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition; and |
● | a delay in completing the Note Financing, failure to complete the Financing, negative perceptions about the Note Financing, or other factors beyond our control, may result in negative publicity and a negative perception of us in the investment community, and could negatively impact on our stock price. |
The terms of the Note Financing restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes or to take certain actions.
The Investment Agreement contains certain interim operating covenants that, prior to the closing of the Note Financing, restrict our ability to:
● | issue any shares of capital stock or other ownership interests, other than employee issuances, equity grant exercises, and as required pursuant to the organizational documents of Inspirato LLC; |
● | issue any debt other than letters of credit consistent with past practice and certain additional debt securities contemplated by the Investment Agreement; or |
● | adopt a plan of liquidation, dissolution, merger, consolidation, restructuring, recapitalization or other reorganization. |
If completed, the Note Financing will subject us to customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as events of default. We will also pledge substantially all of our assets as collateral to secure our obligations in connection with the Note Financing and our subsidiaries must guaranty our obligations in connection with the Note Financing and grant liens on substantially all of their respective assets.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with the covenants applicable to the Note Financing. In the event that we are unable to comply with these covenants or payment obligations in the future, it could result in an event of default. Upon an event of default, the holders of our convertible notes could elect to declare all amounts outstanding to be due and payable, require us to apply our available cash to repay these amounts and foreclose on the collateral granted to them as security for the credit facility In the event the holders of our indebtedness accelerate the repayment, we may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness or be able to
35
borrow sufficient funds to refinance it. Even if we are able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms or on terms acceptable to us. These restrictions, along with restrictions that may be contained in agreements evidencing or governing other future indebtedness, may affect our ability to grow in accordance with our growth strategy.
The issuance and sale of our Common Stock upon conversion of the convertible notes contemplated by the Note Financing could be significantly dilutive and may depress the market price of our Class A Common Stock.
If the Note Financing is completed, upon the conversions of the Notes, holders of our common stock may be significantly diluted. Although the conversion price of the convertible notes is expected to be in excess of the recent trading price of our Class A Common Stock, such conversion price may be significantly less than the applicable trading price of our Class A Common Stock at the time such convertible notes are converted. Because the convertible notes bear interest that may be payable in kind, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of such convertible notes will increase over time. This could result in significant dilution to the holders of our Class A Common Stock.
In addition, the Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes may represent overhang and adversely affect the market price of our Class A Common Stock. Overhang occurs when there is a greater supply of a company’s stock in the market than there is demand for that stock. When this happens, the price of the company’s stock will typically decrease, and any additional shares which shareholders attempt to sell in the market may further decrease the share price. In the event the convertible notes are convertible into shares of our Class A Common Stock at a discount relative to the then-current trading price of our Class A Common Stock, holders of the Notes would have the ability to sell their resulting Class A Common Stock at or below market and still make a profit. In the event of such overhang, the convertible note holders could have an incentive to sell their Class A Common Stock rapidly. If the share volume of our Class A Common Stock cannot absorb any such excess supply, then the value of our Class A Common Stock will likely decrease.
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 if we elect to transfer to
36
The 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. |

(ii) | a month-to-month Club Subscription, the Holder will be Allocated 1,200 Shares at the end of the next fiscal quarter following such Qualified Purchaser’s payment for the 12th month of such Club Subscription; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if such Qualified Purchaser cancels such Inspirato Subscription before such Qualified Purchaser’s payment is made for the 12th month of such Inspirato Subscription, the Holder will not be Allocated any Shares associated with such subscription. |
(b) Marketing Purchaser. For each Marketing Purchaser (as defined in the Commercial
Agreement), who was not Actively Engaging (as defined in the Commercial Agreement) as of the Lead Date (as defined in the Commercial Agreement) for such Marketing Purchaser, that purchases an Inspirato Subscription as follows:
(i) | an annual Inspirato Subscription within 12 months of the applicable Lead Date, the Holder will be Allocated 600 Shares at the end of the next fiscal quarter following the date of such Marketing Purchaser’s initial subscription payment; or |
(ii) | a month-to-month Inspirato Subscription within 12 months of the applicable Lead Date, Holder will be Allocated 600 Shares at the end of the next fiscal quarter following such Marketing Purchase’s payment for the 12th month of such Inspirato Subscription; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if such Marketing Purchaser cancels such Inspirato Subscription before such Marketing Purchaser’s payment is made for the 12th month of such Inspirato Subscription, the Holder will not be Allocated any Shares associated with such subscription. |
(c) Inspirato Subscription Renewals.
(i) Club Subscription Renewals. For every Club Subscription renewal, where Shares were Allocated to Holder pursuant to Section 2 above for the initial Inspirato Subscription year, Holder will be Allocated an amount of Shares equal to 15.38% of the Club Net Subscription Revenue collected by Company (“Club Net Subscription Revenue” is defined as gross subscription revenue minus 3.0% for credit card fees) for the applicable renewal periods following the initial Club Subscription membership year, at the end of the next fiscal quarter following the date of the renewal of the Club Subscription. In any renewal year, Company may offer incentives at their discretion to incentivize Club Subscription renewals. The cost to Company for these incentives will be deducted from the Club Net Subscription Revenue for such renewal period amount prior to calculating the Allocated number of Shares, but in no event should Holder receive less than 400 Shares per Club Subscription renewal on an annualized basis. However, Holder will not Allocate any Shares for the second year of a “buy one year, get one year free” Club Subscription promotion. For example, if a Member initially signs up for a “buy one year, get one year free” Club Subscription promotion, for an initial payment of $7,800.00, Holder shall Allocate 1,200 Shares reflecting the Share Allocation for the initial, paid Club Subscription year and Holder shall not Allocate any additional Shares for the second Club Subscription year. If in this example in the third year, the Member continues paying $650.00 per month after 3.0% for credit card fees were deducted (i.e., the then-applicable monthly Club Net Subscription Revenue), Holder shall be Allocated a number of Shares equal to 15.38% of such $650 per month, or 100 Shares per month. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Saks Premium Travel Membership member renews its Club Subscription only, this subsection will apply in calculating Allocated Shared.
(ii) Saks Premium Travel Membership Renewals. For every Saks Premium Travel Membership renewal, where Shares were Allocated to Holder pursuant to Section 2 above for the initial Inspirato Subscription, Holder will be Allocated an amount of Shares equal to 15.38% of the then-current Club Net Subscription Revenue for the applicable renewal periods following the initial Saks Premium Travel Membership year, at the end of the next fiscal quarter following the date of the renewal of the Saks Premium Travel Membership. In any renewal year, Company may offer incentives at their discretion to incentivize Saks Premium Travel Membership renewals. The cost to Company for these incentives will be deducted from the Club Net Subscription Revenue for such renewal period amount prior to calculating the Allocated number of Shares. For example, if the then-current rate to renew a Club Subscription is $7,800.00, with a Company incentive of a $3,500.00 discount to $4,300.00 (after 3.0% for credit card fees are deducted), Holder shall be Allocated 661 Shares.
(iii) Pass Subscription Renewals. For every Pass Subscription renewal, where Shares were Allocated to Holder pursuant to Section 2 above for the initial Inspirato Subscription, Holder will be Allocated a number of Shares equal to 1.96% of the Net Pass Revenue collected by Company (“Net Pass Revenue” is defined as gross pass revenue minus 3.0% for credit card fees) for the applicable renewal periods, at the end of the next fiscal quarter following the date of the renewal of the Pass Subscription. For example, if a Pass Subscription Member renews their Pass Subscription for an additional year resulting in a Net Pass Revenue of $30,600, after 3.0% for credit card fees were deducted, Holder shall be Allocated 600 Shares (i.e, 30,600 x 1.96%). For clarification, if a Pass Subscription Member converts from a Club Subscription Member during the initial subscription year, Holder shall retain the Shares issued in connection with the initial subscription year and begin Allocating incremental Shares relating to the Pass Subscription conversion/renewal beginning in month 13. For example, if someone signs up for a $7,800 Club Subscription membership, where Holder Allocated 1,200 Shares originally, and then converts to a Pass Subscription, resulting in monthly Net Pass Revenue of $1,900.00, beginning in month seven (7), Holder shall retain the original 1,200 Shares relating to the initial year of the Club Subscription and shall begin Allocating 37 Shares per month beginning in month 13 (1,900 x 1.96% = 37 Shares per month)
pursuant to the Pass Subscription conversion/renewal.
(iv) Share Allocation. Shares relating to any Inspirato Subscription renewal will be Allocated consistent with the Allocation schedule applicable to Share Allocations in connection with an initial Inspirato Subscription, as detailed in Section 2 above.
(v) Share True-Up. In the event: (i) the Company issues any refunds of any Net Subscription Revenue in connection with the sale of any Inspirato Subscriptions where Shares were Allocated; or (ii) reversal of any Net Subscription Revenue where Shares were Allocated (for example, reversal by credit card company), the Company will provide documentation verifying said refund or non-payment and the Parties will true-up at the end of the next fiscal quarter, by Company offsetting future Allocations of Shares.
3. Vesting. All Allocated Shares shall vest and become exercisable immediately upon Allocation of such Shares.
