The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q may include, for example, statements about:

● | Our ability to consummate the convertible note financing and satisfy applicable closing conditions, including the entry into a commercial agreement with Capital One on acceptable terms and the receipt of necessary shareholder approval; |

● | The impact of market conditions on our financial condition and operations, including fluctuations in interest rates and inflation; |
● | Our ability to obtain funding for our operations and future growth; |
● | Our business, expansion plans and opportunities; and |
● | Other factors detailed under the section Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), those discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q and in Part II, Item 7 of our Form 10-K and those discussed in other documents we file with the SEC. |
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. We do not assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any forward-looking statements. We assume no responsibility for updating forward-looking information contained or incorporated by reference herein or in any documents we file with the SEC, except as required by law.
Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described herein or in any documents we file with the SEC occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.
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. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

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-37.2275, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. The Consolidated Financial Statements thereto give effect to the conversion for all periods presented. The Consolidated Financial Statements do not necessarily represent the capital structure of Inspirato Incorporated had the Business Combination occurred in prior periods.
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, no goodwill impairment was identified as a result of this interim test and a quantitative impairment test is not required.
(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 $0.2 million as of January 1, 2023 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326.

(3) Reverse Recapitalization
On February 11, 2022, Inspirato LLC and Thayer consummated the Business Combination, resulting in Inspirato LLC becoming a subsidiary of the Company. The resulting Company organizational structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership corporation (or “UP-C”) structure. This organizational structure allows certain Continuing Inspirato Members (as defined below), to retain their equity ownership directly in Inspirato LLC.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP; management determined Inspirato LLC was not a variable interest entity (see Note 2), and as result, identified Inspirato LLC as the accounting acquirer of the Business Combination. The Company was treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes. This determination is primarily based on the fact that subsequent to the Business Combination, the Continuing Inspirato Members have a majority of the voting power of the Company, and Inspirato LLC’s operations comprise all of the ongoing operations of the Company. Following the Business Combination, Inspirato LLC is managed by a board of managers designated by Inspirato Incorporated and the holders of the noncontrolling interests in Inspirato LLC, who also hold noneconomic voting interests in Inspirato Incorporated through their ownership of Class V Common Stock of Inspirato Incorporated (“Continuing Inspirato Members”).
In connection with the Business Combination, among other things, (i) the Company changed its name to “Inspirato Incorporated”, (ii) each of the then issued and outstanding Class A and Class B common stock of Thayer, converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Class A Common Stock of Inspirato Incorporated, (iii) each of the then issued and outstanding warrants of Thayer converted automatically into a redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock, and (iv) each of the then issued and outstanding units of Thayer that had not been previously separated into the underlying Thayer Class A Common Stock and Thayer public warrant upon the request of the holder thereof, were cancelled and entitled the holder thereof to one share of Inspirato Class A Common Stock and one-half of one Inspirato warrant to purchase Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the IPO of Thayer (the “Public Warrants”).
As a result of the Business Combination, each outstanding unit of Inspirato LLC was cancelled and each unitholder received either (i) a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to 37.2275 (the “Exchange Ratio”) for each unit of Inspirato LLC owned and certain rights under a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) or (ii) a number of new common units of Inspirato LLC (“New Common Units”) equal to the Exchange Ratio, an equal number of shares of Class V Common Stock, which have no economic value, but entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share, and certain rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement. This exchange resulted in Inspirato Incorporated owning 41.2% of the issued and outstanding units of Inspirato LLC at the Closing and the Continuing Inspirato Members owning a noncontrolling interest of Inspirato LLC. In addition, options to purchase Inspirato LLC units were converted into options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at the Exchange Ratio.
Accordingly, the 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 $90 million of gross proceeds including $88 million from the issuance of 8.8 million shares of Class A Common Stock to a number of accredited investors pursuant to a separate subscription agreement entered into on June 30, 2021, as amended. The Company incurred $25 million in transaction costs during the 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 and the remaining $1.1 million was expensed in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The total net cash proceeds to the Company as a result of the Business Combination was $66 million.

As of December 31, 2022, deferred revenue was $186 million. Significant movements in deferred revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted of increases due to payments received prior to travel by members and prepaid subscriptions, offset by decreases due to revenue recognized upon completion of trips and the passage of time for subscriptions. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, approximately $103 million of revenue recognized was included in the balance of deferred revenue as of December 31, 2022.
The Company recognizes assets and liabilities related to contracts with its customers. Assets include commissions paid to the Company’s sales staff for contracts with initial terms greater than one year; these costs are capitalized and amortized over the life of the contract and are included within other current assets and other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Liabilities included deferred revenue as discussed above. Assets and liabilities related to contracts with customers are as follows:

(7) Income Taxes
At June 30, 2023, Inspirato Incorporated holds 49.8% of the economic interest in Inspirato LLC (see Note 3 and 16), which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, Inspirato LLC is itself generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax under current U.S. tax laws as its net taxable income or loss is passed through to its members and included in their tax returns, even though such net taxable income may not have actually been distributed. Inspirato Incorporated is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to its 49.8% distributive share of the net taxable income of Inspirato LLC. Inspirato Incorporated is also subject to taxes in foreign jurisdictions.
The effective income tax rate was negative 4.3% and negative 1.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and negative 0.5% and negative 0.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30 2022 and 2023 differed significantly from the statutory rate in the respective periods, primarily due to the losses allocated to noncontrolling interests and the recognition of a valuation allowance as a result of the Company’s new tax structure following the Business Combination. Income tax expense recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023 represents amounts owed to foreign taxing authorities.
The Company has assessed the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and in that analysis has considered the relevant positive and negative evidence available to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at Inspirato Incorporated as of the Closing and as of 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.
Loan Facility
In October 2020, the Company obtained a revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) that was scheduled to mature October 2023 and was terminated in March 2023. The Revolver had a limit of $14 million. Interest rates associated with the Revolver adjusted based on the prime rate and outstanding balance. The interest rate was 8.50% at December 31, 2022. Interest expense related to the Revolver for three and six months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. There was no interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
12
(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.

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

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.
Impairment of Right-of-Use Assets
The Company tests long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying value of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reviewed cash flow forecasts of leases against the carrying value of their right-of-use assets. The Company determined that the right-of-use assets for thirty-three leases had net carrying values that exceeded their estimated undiscounted future cash flows. These leases were primarily related to one group of underperforming properties in a single geographic location. The Company then estimated the fair value of the asset groups based on their cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved and based on assumptions representative of market participants. The carrying values of the asset groups exceeded their fair values and, as a result, the Company 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. These impairments are recorded within asset impairment in the consolidated statements of operations.
(12) Commitments and Contingencies
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.
Reimbursement and Security Agreement
Inspirato LLC is a party to a financial guarantee bond agreement dated September 2019 for a surety bond of $20 million and a related general corporate indemnification. The financial guarantee bond agreement remains in effect and its term is continuous to align with the term of the agreement it supports.
(13) Warrants
Public Warrants
The Company is party to issued and outstanding Warrants to purchase its Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits and/or extraordinary dividends, as described in the Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as warrant agent, in respect of the Warrant Agreement between Thayer and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (collectively, the “Warrant Agreement”). As of June 30, 2023,
15
there were 8.6 million Public Warrants outstanding. Each of the Public Warrants are exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock.
The Company accounts for Public Warrants as liabilities at fair value within warrants on the consolidated balance sheets because the Warrants do not meet the criteria for classification within equity. The Public Warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, the Public Warrants had a fair value of $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, a gain of $11 million and a loss of $6.5 million, respectively, were recorded in warrant fair value losses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, a gain of $0.4 million and a gain of $0.3 million, respectively, were recorded in warrant fair value losses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
Saks Warrants
In March 2023, the Company and Saks.com LLC (“Saks”) entered into a Commercial Referral and Marketing Agreement (the "Commercial Agreement") and a Warrant Agreement pursuant to which Saks may acquire up to 18 million shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (the “Saks Warrant Shares”). The Saks Warrant Shares shall vest and become exercisable by Saks based on certain subscription purchase referrals made by Saks to the Company under the terms of the Commercial Agreement. The exercise price with respect to the Saks Warrant Shares is $2.00 per share. Subject to certain conditions, including vesting conditions, the Saks Warrant Shares may be exercised, in whole or in part and for cash or on a net exercise basis, at any time before the later of the termination of the Commercial Agreement or 90 days after the final vesting of the Saks Warrant Shares. Through June 30, 2023, there was not significant purchase activity facilitated through the Commercial Agreement.
(14) Equity of Inspirato LLC
For periods prior to the Business Combination, Inspirato LLC had equity-based compensation described in Note 15. Holders of the Inspirato LLC equity received Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock and New Common Units, pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination. The Company recast the units outstanding related to the Historical Inspirato LLC Equity prior to the Business Combination, reflecting the exchange ratio of 1-for-37.2275, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.
(15) Equity-Based Compensation
Unit Option Plan
Prior to the Business Combination, the board of Inspirato LLC maintained an equity-based compensation plan (the “Unit Option Plan”), which provided for the grant of options to purchase the Inspirato LLC’s common units, to Inspirato LLC’s employees, directors and consultants. No issuances under the Unit Option Plan have been made since January 2021 and the Unit Option Plan was terminated in connection with the Business Combination and no new equity awards may be issued thereunder; provided, however, that the Unit Option Plan continues to govern the terms and conditions of outstanding awards under the Unit Option Plan as of the time of its termination. Prior to the Unit Option Plan’s termination, Inspirato LLC only granted options under the Unit Option Plan. Options under the Unit Option Plan were granted at a price per unit equal to the fair value of the underlying common units at the date of grant. Options under the Unit Option Plan generally have a 10-year contractual term and vest over a three-year to five-year period starting from the date specified in each applicable option agreement.
Each Inspirato LLC option from the Unit Option Plan that was outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination, whether vested or unvested, was converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of the Class A Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio (the “Exchanged Options”). Except as specifically provided in the Business Combination Agreement, following the Business Combination, each Exchanged Option has continued to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Inspirato LLC option immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. All stock option activity was retroactively restated to reflect the Exchanged Options.
As of June 30, 2023, option expense remaining to be recognized was $0.3 million and will be recognized over the next two years. There were 7.6 million and 4.6 million shares of Class A Common Stock subject to outstanding options at June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 there were 36 thousand and 66 thousand options exercised, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 there were 0.1 million and 0.7 million options exercised, respectively.
16
Profits Interests
Prior to the Business Combination, Inspirato LLC granted awards of profits interests to certain key employees. In connection with the Business Combination, the profits interests were treated like other units in Inspirato LLC with respect to the consideration received as part of the Business Combination. Profits interests have been issued to certain executives. Each award of profits interests vests over the time period set forth in each individual profits interest award agreement underlying the award, subject to the applicable executive’s continued service. If an executive terminated service, any unvested profits interests held by such executive would be forfeited to Inspirato LLC. If Inspirato LLC experienced a “deemed liquidation event,” all of the then-outstanding and unvested profits interests would accelerate and fully vest upon a change of control event. Profits interests were non-voting profits interest incentive units pursuant to individual award agreements, which set forth such additional terms and conditions, including the vesting and forfeiture terms. The profits interests participate in the distributions upon vesting of the units.
At both December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, there were 9.3 million as-converted profits interests issued and outstanding, and $0.5 million in profits interest expense remained to be recognized as of June 30, 2023 over the next three years. No profits interests have been issued since the consummation of the Business Combination.
2021 Plan
In connection with the Business Combination, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan became effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination. Under the 2021 Plan, the Company may grant options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSU”) and performance awards to employees, directors and consultants. Subject to the adjustment provisions contained in the 2021 Plan and the evergreen provision described below, the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2021 Plan is (i) 15,900,000 shares of Class A Common Stock plus (ii) any shares subject to stock options or other awards that were assumed in the Business Combination and expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised in full, are tendered to or withheld by the Company for payment of an exercise price or for tax withholding obligations, or are forfeited to or repurchased by the Company due to failure to vest, with the maximum number of shares to be added to the 2021 Plan pursuant to clause (ii) equal to 7,453,734 shares of Class A Common Stock. The 2021 Plan also includes an evergreen provision that provides for an automatic annual increase to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2022 fiscal year, equal to the least of: (x) 19,900,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, (y) 5% of the total number of shares of all classes of the Company’s common stock as of the last day of the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year and (z) such lesser amount determined by the 2021 Plan’s administrator. The 2021 Plan provides that the evergreen provision will operate only until the 10th anniversary of the earlier of the board or stockholder approval of the 2021 Plan. The RSUs are unvested and subject to each employee’s continued employment with the Company. The vesting start date for RSUs issued to existing employees as part of the first grant is January 1, 2022. Subsequent RSU grants have a vesting start date equal to the RSU grant date. Once granted, the RSUs vest over a period of three to four years. RSUs typically have a cliff vesting of one-third and one-fourth of the grant amount for three-year and four-year vesting periods, respectively, and continue to vest quarterly thereafter. The vesting term of each RSU is stated in the individual respective agreement.
At June 30, 2023, there was $33 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average of 2.9 years.
(16) Noncontrolling Interest
The financial results of Inspirato LLC and its subsidiaries are consolidated with and into Inspirato Incorporated. For the period February 11, 2022 through June 30, 2022, 58.8% of the consolidated net loss of Inspirato LLC has been allocated to the noncontrolling interests of Inspirato LLC. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued no shares of its Class A Common Stock. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued 648,297 and 2,805,349 shares, respectively, of Class A Common Stock in exchange for the same number of New Common Units, resulting also in the cancellation of the same number of shares of Class V Common Stock.

Employees are eligible to begin participating in the Plan at the beginning of the first month following their employment with the Company. Employees participating in the Plan may contribute up to 90 percent of their compensation up to Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) annual limitations. The Company matches 50 percent of an employee’s contribution up to 6 percent of eligible pay with immediate 100 percent vesting. This match has a $1,500 per employee cap each year.

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

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.
