Nature of the Business

 

Membership Collective Group Inc. (“MCG”) is a global membership platform of physical and digital spaces that connects a vibrant, diverse group of members from across the world. These members use the MCG platform to both work and socialize, to connect, create, have fun and drive a positive change. Our members engage with us through our global portfolio of 33 Soho Houses, 9 Soho Works Clubs, The Ned in London, Scorpios Beach Club in Mykonos, Soho Home, our interiors and lifestyle retail brand, and our digital channels. Since the opening of our House in the Soho district of London in 1995, we have successfully identified the demand for a premium membership offering that caters to a progressive, creative and diverse global audience. As of January 2, 2022, we are a community of more than 155,800 creative and loyal individuals, each of whom pays an annual membership fee for access to a network of distinctive and carefully curated Houses, across North America, the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia, which serve as the cornerstone of our member experience. We enhance our member experience through our digital channels, including our app (the "SH.APP") and our website. Annually, we host thousands of physical and digital member events worldwide, spanning film, fashion, art, food and drink, well-being, work and music – and help our members forge connections to bring them closer together.

 

MCG was incorporated on February 10, 2021 under the laws of the State of Delaware. On July 19, 2021, we completed the initial public offering (“IPO”) of Class A of our common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-257206). Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, we completed the following reorganization transactions (the "Reorganization Transactions") which resulted in changes to our common stock and issued and outstanding shares:

affiliates of The Yucaipa Companies, LLC, and Messrs. Ron Burkle, Nick Jones, and Richard Caring exchanged their equity interests in our predecessor entity, Soho House Holdings Limited (“SHHL”), for 141,500,385 shares of Class B common stock having an equivalent value;
 
the other equity holders of SHHL exchanged their equity interests for 14,935,193 shares of Class A common stock having an equivalent value.

 

In the IPO, we sold 30,567,918 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $14.00 per share, including 567,918 shares of Class A common stock sold pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of a “greenshoe” option to purchase additional shares of common stock to cover over-allotments. Immediately after the IPO, the senior convertible preference shares of SHHL were converted into 15,526,619 shares of Class A common stock.

 

The net proceeds from the IPO were $388 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering costs. A portion of the proceeds from the IPO was used to repay outstanding indebtedness of $98 million in respect of our revolving credit facility and to pay the redemption price of the outstanding May 2016 redeemable preferred shares in an aggregate amount of $20 million.

 

During periods preceding the IPO that are presented in these consolidated financial statements, our business was conducted through SHHL, a Jersey, Channel Islands private limited company, and its subsidiaries and joint ventures. As a result of the Reorganization Transactions, SHHL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCG. Such transactions were accounted for as a reorganization and, therefore, the consolidated financial statements of MCG in periods after the IPO recognize the assets and liabilities received in the Reorganization Transactions at their historical carrying amounts, as reflected in the historical financial statements of SHHL.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The Company's significant estimates relate to the valuation of financial instruments, equity method investments, the measurement of

goodwill and intangible assets, contingent liabilities, income taxes, leases, long-lived assets and the period over which revenue from one-time member registration fees is recognized. Although the estimates have been prepared using management's best judgment and management believes that the estimates used are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

 

We operate on a fiscal year calendar consisting of a 52-or 53-week period ending on the last Sunday in December or the first Sunday in January of the next calendar year. In a 52-week fiscal year, each quarter contains 13 weeks of operations; in a 53-week fiscal year, each of the first, second and third quarters includes 13 weeks of operations and the fourth quarter includes 14 weeks of operations.

 

Our 2019 fiscal year ended on December 29, 2019 ("Fiscal 2019"), our 2020 fiscal year ended on January 3, 2021 ("Fiscal 2020"), and our 2021 fiscal year ended on January 2, 2022 ("Fiscal 2021"). Fiscal 2019 was a 52-week year, Fiscal 2020 was a 53-week year, and Fiscal 2021 was a 52-week year.

 

The consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022 includes the correction of an error related to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019. The error relates to the correction of a consolidating adjustment for foreign currency transaction gains of $13 million in the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021 and $4 million in the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019. The correction of this error is presented within other in the consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022 and within foreign currency translation adjustment in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022.

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no impact on previously reported net loss or cash flows, and no material impact on financial position.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation for at least a period of 12 months after the date these financial statements are issued, and contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

We have experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities over the past years as we develop our Houses. During the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, the Company incurred a consolidated net loss of $269 million. During the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, the Company had negative cash flow from operations of $127 million. As of January 2, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit balance of $1,022 million. As of January 2, 2022, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $213 million, and a restricted cash balance of $8 million.

 

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to significantly impact our business and we have had to temporarily close some or all of our Houses, hotels and public restaurants, at different times due to the ongoing effects of the pandemic, which has and will continue to have an impact on our revenues. At the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, our Houses are open where possible.

 

In assessing the going concern basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, we have taken into consideration detailed cash flow forecasts for the Company, the Company’s forecast compliance with bank covenants, and the continued availability of committed and accessible working capital to the Company.

 

We have considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and the resultant global economic uncertainties and have undertaken a re-assessment of the cash flow forecasts covering a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued. Cash flow forecasts have been prepared based on a range of scenarios including, but not limited to, no further debt or equity funding, the timing of a full re-opening of our Houses staggered and/or deferred to the end of the calendar year, cost reductions, both limited and extensive, and a combination of these different scenarios. We have assessed the sensitivity analysis on cash flows, and in order to finance these cash flow forecasts, we have completed a series of positive financing events during Fiscal 2021, including issuance of new senior secured notes in an aggregate amount equal to $295 million, €62 million ($73 million) and £53 million ($73 million), issuance of $175 million of senior convertible preference shares, and completion of our IPO for net proceeds of $388 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering costs (including net proceeds from the partial exercise of the overallotment option). The senior secured notes include an option (which expires on March 31, 2022) for the Company to issue additional notes in an aggregate amount of up to $100 million on or prior to March 31, 2022. The Company exercised this option on

March 9, 2022; see Note 23, Subsequent Events. The proceeds from the senior secured notes and senior convertible preference shares have been used to repay all amounts outstanding under the Permira Senior Facility and the US government-backed bank loan. The proceeds from the IPO were used to repay the outstanding principal balance of our revolving credit facility of $98 million, which remains in place as a source of additional liquidity if required, and to pay the redemption price of outstanding redeemable preferred shares, with the remainder to be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs. See Note 12, Debt, and Note 15, SHHL Redeemable Preferred Shares, for additional information.

 

We believe that the completed working capital events, our projected cash flows and the actions available to management to further control expenditure, as necessary, provide the Company with sufficient working capital (including cash and cash equivalents) to achieve its plans to recover from the impact of the pandemic, subject to the following key factors:

the continued access to Houses in a manner that is compliant with local laws and regulations, including the relaxing of mandatory capacity constraints, as well as anticipated demand;
the level of in-House sales activity (primarily sales of food and beverage) that, even after opening, may be subject to reduced capacity as a result of any on-going restrictions;
the continued high level of membership retention and renewals (which has been evidenced throughout the pandemic); and
the implementation of cost reduction measures that are aligned with the anticipated levels of capacity.

 

While the impact of lockdowns and other restrictions may re-occur beyond current expectations and impact the Company’s ability to keep open Houses and return to a level of operation consistent with pre COVID-19 within the timeframes assumed in management’s detailed cash flow forecasts, we believe that the Company has sufficient financial resources together with an established and cash generative business model, and access to capital.

 

Based on the available cash as a result of completed financing events discussed above, and the measures that have been put in place to control costs, we believe that the Company is able to continue in operational existence, meet its liabilities as they fall due, operate within its existing facilities, and meet all of its covenant requirements for a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued.

 

Based on the above, the consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, we continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Membership Collective Group Inc. and its subsidiaries, as well as certain consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary (see Note 4, Consolidated Variable Interest Entities). Other parties’ interests in entities that the Company consolidates are reported as noncontrolling interests within shareholders’ deficit. Net loss and each component of other comprehensive (loss) income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to any noncontrolling interests. All intra-company assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows are eliminated in full on consolidation.

 

Equity Method Investments

 

The Company’s equity method investments consist of investments in which the Company does not control the investee but can exert significant influence over the financial and operating policies, as well as joint ventures where there is joint control (and in both cases if the investee is a VIE, where the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE). The ability to exert significant influence is generally considered to exist when the Company owns between 20% and 50% of voting equity securities of the investee, in the case of corporate entities.

 

When the Company sells an interest in a subsidiary which then becomes an equity method investment, the retained interest is remeasured at fair value.

 

Investments are initially recognized at cost when purchased for cash, or at the fair value of shares received when acquired. The investments are subsequently carried at cost adjusted for the Company’s share of net income or loss and other changes in

comprehensive income (loss) of the joint venture, less any dividends or distributions received by the Company. The investments are presented as equity method investments in the consolidated balance sheets. Income or loss from these investments is recorded as a separate line item in the consolidated statements of operations. Intercompany profits or losses associated with the Company’s equity method investments are eliminated until realized by the investee in transactions with third parties. Where distributions from equity-method investees and the Company’s share of investee losses are in excess of the carrying amount of the investment (including, where applicable, advances made by the Company to the investee), after the Company’s equity-method investment balance is reduced to zero, additional losses are recognized to the extent that the Company has guaranteed the investee’s obligations or has otherwise incurred legal or constructive obligations or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

 

The Company considers whether its equity method investments are impaired when events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for a decline in value that is determined to be other-than-temporary. Once a determination is made that an other-than-temporary impairment exists, the investment is written down to its fair value. There were no other-than-temporary impairments recorded during the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

The Company analyzes its variable interests, including loans, guarantees, and equity investments, to determine if the entity in which the Company has a variable interest is a VIE. For those entities determined to be VIEs a quantitative and qualitative analysis is performed to determine if the Company will be deemed the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is defined as the variable interest holder that has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. A controlling financial interest is defined as one that has i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

 

In evaluating whether the Company has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance, the Company bases its qualitative analysis on its review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and the relevant development, ownership interest, operating, management and financial agreements. This evaluation requires consideration of all facts and circumstances relevant to decision-making that affect the entity’s future performance and the exercise of professional judgment in deciding which decision-making rights are most important.

 

The Company consolidates those entities in which it is determined to be the primary beneficiary. If the Company is not determined to be the primary beneficiary but can exercise significant influence over these entities, these investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of loss from amounts owed by customers and financial counterparties. Credit risk can occur at multiple levels; as a result of broad economic conditions, challenges within specific sectors of the economy, or from issues affecting individual companies. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and other receivables.

 

The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash with major financial institutions. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash consist of bank deposits held with banks that, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company limits its credit risk by dealing with counterparties that are considered to be of high credit quality.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and all highly liquid investments with original maturities, when purchased, of three months or less.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash represents cash that is not available to the Company due to restrictions related to its use. As of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, restricted cash related primarily to balances with the Company’s payments service provider, financing arrangements for the Soho Beach House in Miami, and security deposits.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable include amounts due from customers in connection with the Company’s in-house building service whereby the Company extends credit, generally without requiring collateral, based on its evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. Accounts receivable also include amounts due from customers, guests and members relating to services rendered. Any allowance for doubtful accounts includes management’s estimate of the amounts expected to be uncollectible on specific accounts receivable, taking into account the creditworthiness of the counterparty, the aging of the outstanding balance, and historical recoverability patterns. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $3 million as of January 2, 2022 and $3 million as of January 3, 2021.

 

While the Company has a concentration of credit risk in relation to certain customers, this risk is mitigated by payments on account and credit checks on customers. Typically, accounts receivable have terms ranging from 0-60 days and do not bear interest. As of January 2, 2022, there were two customers which individually accounted for more than 10% of trade receivables (16% and 10%); there were no customers which individually accounted for more than 10% of revenue during the fiscal year then ended. As of January 3, 2021, there was one customer which individually accounted for more than 10% of trade receivables (13%); there were no customers which individually accounted for more than 10% of revenue during the fiscal year then ended.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value and cost is determined using a weighted-average cost method. Inventories consist of raw materials, service stock and supplies (primarily food and beverage), and finished goods which are externally sourced. Raw materials and service stock and supplies totaled $8 million and $8 million as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, respectively. Finished goods totaled $22 million and $15 million as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, respectively. The Company records a reserve for obsolete or unusable inventory, where applicable. The reserve was zero and less than $1 million as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment relate to buildings for owned Houses, leasehold improvements for leased Houses, fixtures and fittings and other office equipment. Property and equipment are recorded at cost, or if acquired in a business combination, at fair value as of the acquisition date, less accumulated depreciation. Costs of improvements that extend the economic life or improve service potential are capitalized. Capitalized costs are depreciated over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Costs for normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The carrying amounts of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated in the year of disposal, with resulting gains or losses included in (gain) loss on sale of property and other, net.

 

Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which are generally as follows:

 

Buildings

50-100 years

Leasehold improvements

Lesser of useful life or remaining lease term

Fixtures and fittings

2-5 years

Office equipment and other

2-4 years

Finance lease property

Reasonably assured lease term

 

Depreciation expense is included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Assets under construction relate mainly to the build out of future Houses, are stated at cost and depreciation begins when the asset is placed in service. For property under construction, the Company capitalizes all specifically identifiable costs related to development

activities, as well as interest costs incurred while activities necessary to get the property ready for its intended use are in progress. During the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, the capitalized interest was immaterial. During the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019, the Company capitalized interest totaling $4 million.

 

Impairment of Property and Equipment

 

The Company reviews its property and equipment for impairment indicators at each reporting date. Impairment losses are required to be recorded for long-lived assets to be held and used by the Company when indicators of impairment are present and the carrying value of the assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets. When an asset group to be held and used by the Company is determined to be impaired, the related carrying amount of the asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of (i) the carrying amount of assets to (ii) the future undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate over their remaining lives. If the carrying amount of the assets is not recoverable, the amount of impairment, if any, is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired assets. If the Company determines that the remaining useful life is shorter than originally estimated, it amortizes the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful life. No impairment losses were recorded during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022. Impairment losses were less than $1 million during each of the fiscal years ended January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019.

 

Business Combinations

 

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the Company to the sellers and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the total consideration transferred, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the consideration transferred is less than the fair value of the net assets of the acquiree, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of operations as a gain. During the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. See Note 3, Acquisitions, for additional information.

 

Transactions between entities under common control are excluded from the scope of the business combinations guidance. The Company accounts for transfers of assets, net assets or equity interests between entities under common control prospectively at their carrying values.

 

Intangible Assets with Finite Useful Lives

 

The Company has certain finite lived intangible assets that were initially recorded at their fair values. These intangible assets consist primarily of brand names, membership lists, hotel management agreements, internally developed software and trademarks. Intangible assets with finite useful lives, which have a weighted-average life of 18 years, are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

 

All finite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable; for example, when there are material adverse changes in projected revenues or expenses, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected operating results, or significant negative industry or economic trends. The Company evaluates recoverability of a finite lived intangible asset by comparing its carrying value to its estimated fair value, which is determined through the income approach, the market approach or another appropriate method based on the circumstances. If a finite lived intangible asset’s estimated current fair value is less than its respective carrying value, the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

During Fiscal 2020, House closures and uncertainties surrounding re-opening procedures associated with the COVID-19 pandemic constituted a triggering event for testing whether intangible assets were impaired. The Company performed a quantitative assessment as of the first quarter of Fiscal 2020. No impairment losses were recorded during the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019.

 

Costs incurred during the application development stage for internal-use software are capitalized. Capitalized website development costs and internal-use software costs are amortized using the straight-line amortization method over the estimated useful life of the applicable software.

 

Goodwill

 

In January 2012, affiliates of the Yucaipa Companies, LLC acquired 58.9% of the outstanding equity interests of the entity which subsequently became Soho House Holdings Limited through a series of transactions. The Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which resulted in a new basis for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the recognition of goodwill. In addition, the Company recognized goodwill as a result of the acquisition of a business in Mykonos, Greece during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019, as well as the acquisition of a controlling interest in Soho House—Cipura (Miami), LLC ("Cipura") and the companies that together operate existing and future "The LINE" and "Saguaro" hotels in the United States during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022. See Note 3, Acquisitions, for additional information.

 

Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment annually. The Company assesses goodwill for potential impairment on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter, or during the year if an event or other circumstances indicate that the Company may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the net assets of the reporting unit. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below the operating segment level, which is referred to as a component. The Company identifies its reporting units by assessing whether components (i) have discrete financial information available; (ii) engage in business activities; and (iii) have a segment manager who regularly reviews the component’s operating results. Net assets and goodwill of acquired businesses are allocated to the reporting unit(s) associated with the acquired business based on the anticipated organizational structure of the combined entities. If two or more components are deemed economically similar, those components are aggregated into one reporting unit when performing the annual goodwill impairment review. As of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, the Company had seven and five reporting units with a goodwill balance, respectively.

 

In evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Qualitative factors that the Company considers include, for example, macroeconomic and industry conditions, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity-specific events. If the Company bypasses the qualitative assessment or concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment that will be recognized, if any.

 

When performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test, the Company compares the estimated fair value of each of its reporting units with their respective carrying values. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. If, however, the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over its fair value is recognized as a goodwill impairment. When performing a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment, the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is calculated using the income approach and the market approach. For the income approach, the Company uses internally developed discounted cash flow models that include the following assumptions, among others: projections of revenues, expenses, and related cash flows based on assumed long-term growth rates and demand trends; expected net working capital and capital expenditure requirements; and estimated discount rates. For the market approach, the Company relies upon valuation multiples derived from stock prices and enterprise values of publicly-traded companies that are comparable to the reporting units being evaluated.

 

While the Company tests its goodwill for impairment at least annually, it will test its goodwill for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change which are considered to be a triggering event that would more likely than not reduce a reporting unit’s fair value below its carrying amount. In Fiscal 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for impairment on each reporting unit's goodwill and determined that no goodwill impairment existed. In Fiscal 2020, House closures and uncertainties surrounding re-opening procedures associated with the COVID-19 pandemic constituted a triggering event for testing whether goodwill was impaired. The Company performed a quantitative assessment as of the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 and determined that no goodwill impairment existed. As of the first day of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020, the Company performed a qualitative goodwill assessment and concluded it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting units which carry goodwill exceeds their respective carrying amounts. In Fiscal 2021, the Company performed a quantitative impairment assessment for two reporting units and a qualitative assessment for the remaining five reporting units; based on these assessments, the Company determined that no goodwill impairment existed.

 

 

Leases

 

The Company has entered into lease agreements for its Houses, hotels, restaurants, spas and other properties. The Company accounts for its leases under ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).

 

The Company determines the initial classification and measurement of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter, if the leases are modified. The lease term includes any renewal options and termination options that the Company is reasonably assured to exercise. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is determined by using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis an amount equal to the lease payments for a similar term and in a similar economic environment.

 

Rent expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the reasonably assured lease term based on the total lease payments and is included in other in-house operating expenses and other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company recognizes the amortization of the right-of-use asset for its finance leases on a straight-line basis over the reasonably assured lease term in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations. The interest expense related to finance leases is recognized using the effective interest method and is included within interest expense, net.

 

For all leases, rent payments that are based on a fixed index or rate at the lease commencement date are included in the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date. Rent payments that vary based on the outcome of future indices, rates, or the Company’s revenues are expensed in the period incurred.

 

The Company has previously elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. The Company’s non-lease components are primarily related to property maintenance, which varies based on future outcomes, and thus is recognized in rent expense when incurred. In addition, the Company elected to exclude short-term leases, or leases with a term of 12 months or less that do not contain a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, from the right-of-use asset and lease liability balances.

 

As part of our overall plan to improve liquidity during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company negotiated with certain lessors to defer or waive certain rent payments on leased buildings. Cash payment deferrals and waivers have been separately recorded in the period arrangements occurred, and therefore, there have been no remeasurements to the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets associated with the sites that received concessions. The Company accounted for the deferrals of lease payments as if there are no changes in the lease contract. Deferred amounts have been recognized in accounts payable and subsequent reversals will occur once the payments are made. As of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, $12 million and $20 million, respectively, is recorded in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets related to deferred lease payments.

 

Sale Leaseback Transactions

 

The Company accounts for a transaction as a sale of an asset and a leaseback of that asset only if the buyer-lessor obtains control of the asset in accordance with the provisions of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). In these circumstances, the Company (as the seller-lessee) derecognizes the carrying amount of the asset, recognizes the transaction price for the sale, and accounts for the lease in accordance with Topic 842. When a sale and leaseback transaction does not qualify for sale accounting, the Company does not derecognize the underlying asset and accounts for the transaction as a financing obligation.

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

Debt issuance costs relate to the Company’s debt instruments. These costs are reflected as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt instrument, with the exception of the Company’s revolving credit facility, for which debt issuance costs are reflected as a current asset following repayment in full of the amount drawn under the facility during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022. Debt issuance costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the related debt instrument using the effective interest method. As of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, these costs totaled $13 million (including $1 million presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets) and $9 million, respectively. Amortization expense associated with debt issuance costs (excluding write-offs recognized upon extinguishment of debt), which is included within interest expense, net, totaled $5 million, $6 million, and $6 million for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019, respectively.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company has various financial instruments measured at fair value on a periodic basis for disclosure purposes. See Note 13, Fair Value Measurements, for further information. The Company also applies the fair value measurement framework to various nonrecurring measurements for its financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date (an exit price). The Company uses the three-level valuation hierarchy for classification of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and may be considered observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument.

Level 3 Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The classification of assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Proper classification of fair value measurements within the valuation hierarchy is considered each reporting period. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for purposes of recognizing revenue. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. There is no variable consideration or obligations for returns or refunds, and no other related obligations in the Company’s contracts.

 

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type and may include a requirement of payment up to 45 days (as described further below). In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined its contracts do not include a significant financing component.

 

The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from the following sources and are recognized when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a good or service to a customer.

 

Membership Revenues

 

Membership revenues are comprised of annual membership fees and one-time initial registration fees.

 

Memberships are offered on an annual basis for access to Houses. Annual membership fees are paid annually, quarterly or monthly and are deferred and recognized over the term to which the payment relates. Revenue is measured based on the amount invoiced for the member’s annual membership fee. The current portion of deferred revenue relates primarily to annual membership fees. There is no non-current deferred revenue relating to annual membership fees.

 

One-time registration fees are non-refundable and are invoiced to the member on their acceptance of membership. Such registration fees are recognized as non-current deferred revenue upon payment, and are recognized as revenue over the estimated average membership life of 20 years. Registration fees of $2 million, $1 million, and $1 million were recognized as revenue in the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019 respectively. As of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, current

deferred revenue related to one-time registration fees totaled $2 million and $1 million, respectively, and non-current deferred revenue related to such fees totaled $28 million and $24 million, respectively.

 

In-House Revenues

 

In-House revenues represent all revenues generated within our Houses and primarily include revenues from food and beverage, accommodation, and spa products and treatments.

 

Revenue from food and beverage sales in the Company’s Houses is measured based on the amount invoiced for food and beverage purchased by the customer. Revenues are recognized when the goods are consumed. Payment is collected from the customer at the same time as the performance obligation is satisfied and, therefore, there are no material receivables, contract assets or contract liabilities related to food and beverage sales.

 

Hotel accommodation revenue is recognized when the rooms are occupied. Revenue is measured based on the amount invoiced for the room as specified in the contract when the room booking is made. Deposits received in advance of the hotel accommodation are deferred as contract liabilities and recognized as revenue when the customer occupies the room. As of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, advance deposits of $9 million and $7 million, respectively, were recorded as accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Retail sales represent sales of goods and services, including from spas and cinema properties. Revenue from these transactions is recognized at the point in time when the goods and services have been delivered or rendered. Sales made online include shipping revenue and are recognized on dispatch to the customer. Payment terms with respect to retail sales and wholesale sales range from immediate payment at point of sale up to approximately 45 days. Amounts invoiced to customers for completed sales are recorded within accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Other Revenues

 

Other revenues include all revenues that are not generated within our Houses. This includes revenues from Scorpios, Soho Works and our stand-alone restaurants, procurement fees from Soho House Design ("SHD"), Soho Home and Cowshed retail products and other revenues from products and services that we provide outside of our Houses, as well as management fees from the Ned. For further information regarding the Company’s relationship with The Ned, refer to Note 4, Consolidated Variable Interest Entities.

 

Revenue recognized from Soho House Design totaled $13 million, $14 million, and $23 million for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019, respectively. During the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019, Soho House Design ceased providing build-out services as a result of the Company’s decision to shift strategic focus to the higher-margin design services. Some of SHD’s build-out and design services are provided as part of the Company’s in-house development activities (including to certain related parties as described in Note 22, Related Parties), which do not generate revenues from third parties. The percentage of Soho House Design revenues relating to build-out and design contracts from unaffiliated third parties was 7% and 11% during the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022 and December 29, 2019, respectively. Soho House Design’s revenues relating to build-out and design contracts from unaffiliated third parties were immaterial during the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021.

 

Build-out and design contracts consist of a single performance obligation which is satisfied over time as the design and build work is completed and verified by third party contractors against specified contract milestones (output method of progress). The Company invoices for the work completed in accordance with the payment terms of the customer’s contract.

 

Sponsorship income is recognized upon the successful completion of the related event. Food and beverage sales from restaurants not located in one of the Company’s Houses or hotels are recognized in a manner similar to In-House food and beverage sales, as previously described.

 

Practical Expedients

 

The Company applies the practical expedient not to disclose the amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations and an explanation of when the Company expects to recognize that amount as revenue. In addition, the Company applies the practical expedient and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations for contracts that have original expected durations of one year or less.

 

In-House Operating Expenses and Other Operating Expenses

 

In-House operating expenses represent the cost of sales of our In-House revenues and consist primarily of the cost of food and beverage products, employee-related costs for In-House staff members, rent expense, and utility costs. Other operating expenses represent the cost of sales of our Other revenues and consist primarily of the cost of retail products, food and beverage product costs associated with non-House restaurant operations, and employee-related costs for non-House staff members.

 

Government Grants

 

Throughout Fiscal 2020, as a result of impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental agencies in the United Kingdom and other European countries provided the Company grants primarily to support payroll needs. These government grants are exclusive of funds received (and eventually paid off) under the Paycheck Protection Program enacted by the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, which were accounted for as a borrowing (refer to Note 12, Debt, for more information). Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that cash will be received and that conditions attached to the grant have been met. Such government grants totaled $21 million during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022 and are presented as a reduction of payroll expenses within in-House operating expenses ($17 million), other operating expenses ($3 million) and general and administrative expense ($1 million) on the consolidated statements of operations. During the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021, government grants totaled $26 million and were presented as a reduction of payroll expenses within in-House operating expenses ($19 million), other operating expenses ($4 million) and general and administrative expense ($3 million) on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense is charged to the consolidated statements of operations over the term of the debt such that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount (i.e. using the effective interest method). Interest expense includes the amortization of debt issuance costs, which are initially recognized as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated debt instrument, and interest expense on finance leases.

 

Business Interruption and Other Insurance Claims

 

The Company maintains insurance policies to cover business interruption and property damage with terms that it believes to be adequate and appropriate. When the Company receives proceeds from the insurance claim in connection with property damage, which reimburses the replacement cost for repair or replacement of damaged assets, the proceeds are recognized as a reduction against the value of the assets written off. Business interruption proceeds which reimburse the time-element of actual costs and lost profits following damage to property are recognized as non-operating income. Business interruption proceeds related to the cost to expedite repairs, retention pay to workers temporarily displaced, and additional expenses to stay in business following damage to property are recognized as a reduction of the related expense line item. If there are any outstanding receivables in respect of insurance recoveries, they are recognized only when the Company deems collection to be virtually certain.

 

Income Taxes

 

Significant judgment is involved in determining the provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions for which the ultimate tax determination is unclear due to uncertainty in the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes tax liabilities based on its assessment of whether its tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained, based on the technical merits and considerations of the relevant taxing authorities’ widely understood administrative practices and precedence. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties for any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax (benefit) expense.

 

Income tax (benefit) expense consists of taxes currently payable and changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities calculated according to local tax rules. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on temporary differences that arise between carrying values of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for taxation purposes and the future tax benefits of tax loss carry forwards. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.

 

Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers all available evidence for each jurisdiction, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income and the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies. In the event that the Company changes its determination

as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, the Company will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to income tax (benefit) expense in the period in which such determination is made.

 

The amount of deferred tax recognized in any period is based on tax rates enacted as of the balance sheet date. The impact of tax law changes is recognized in periods when the change is enacted. The Company classifies all deferred tax assets and liabilities, including any related valuation allowance, as non-current on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Indirect Taxes

 

The Company remits sales, value added and other indirect taxes to various taxing jurisdictions as a result of revenue earned from the sale of products and services to customers. Specific sales tax rates applicable to the Company’s products and services vary by taxing jurisdiction. The Company records sales, value added and other indirect taxes as liabilities when incurred. Revenue is recognized net of sales, value added and other indirect taxes.

 

Foreign Currency and Operations

 

During periods preceding the IPO that are presented in these consolidated financial statements, our business was conducted through SHHL. The functional currency of SHHL is the British pound sterling ("GBP"). As a result of the Reorganization Transactions in connection with the IPO, SHHL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCG. The functional currency of MCG is the United States dollar ("USD"). Our reporting currency for the consolidated financial statements is the USD for all periods presented.

 

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity’s operations are conducted. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is generally the same as their local currency. The Company translates the financial statements of its subsidiaries into the presentation currency using exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for the period for statement of operations accounts, with the difference recognized in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. The following exchange rates were used to translate the financial statements of the Company and its foreign subsidiaries into USD:

Pre-Opening Expenses

 

Pre-opening expenses include costs associated with the acquisition, opening, conversion and initial setup of new and converted sites, including rent, overhead expenses, pre-opening marketing and incremental wages to support the “ramp up” period of time to support the site in the initial period following opening. These costs are expensed as incurred and are included in pre-opening expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The entire balance of these costs is related to pre-opening activities for our Houses in each of the periods presented.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The cost of advertising and media is expensed as incurred. For the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019, advertising costs totaled $6 million, $4 million, and $6 million, respectively. Advertising costs are included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

Share-based compensation is measured at the estimated fair value of the award on the grant date and recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. The Company does not reduce share-based compensation for an estimate of forfeitures and will account for forfeitures when they occur. In order to determine the grant date fair value of awards granted prior to IPO, the Company applied the Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The determination of fair value of these awards is subjective and involves estimates and assumptions including expected term of the awards, volatility of the Company’s shares, expected dividend yield, and the risk-free rate. The Company uses the closing stock price on the date of grant to determine the grant date fair value for restricted stock units ("RSUs").

 

Share-based compensation expense is recorded within general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 14, Share-Based Compensation, for additional information.

 

Offering Costs

 

Direct and incremental legal and accounting costs associated with the Company’s initial public offering totaling $40 million have been recorded as a reduction of offering proceeds within additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 2, 2022. In addition, during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, the Company incurred $14 million, respectively, of costs related to the offering which were recognized in other in the consolidated statements of operations. There were no offering costs incurred during the fiscal years ended January 3, 2021 or December 29, 2019.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

The entire balance of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes, is related to the cumulative translation adjustment in each of the periods presented. The changes in the balance of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of income tax, are attributable solely to the net change in the cumulative translation adjustment in each of the periods presented, and include the error correction described above during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share using the two-class method. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings or losses are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class of common stock, and the resulting basic and diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders are therefore the same for Class A and B common stock. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and respective share equivalents outstanding at the end of the period, unless the effect is anti-dilutive. An anti-dilutive impact is a reduction in net loss per share resulting from the conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of certain securities. Since the Company had net losses for all the periods presented, basic and diluted loss per share are the same, and additional potential common shares have been excluded as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

As discussed in Note 1, Nature of the Business, immediately prior to the IPO, the Company completed certain reorganization transactions which resulted in changes to our common stock and issued and outstanding shares but no change in relative shareholder rights, rank, or value before and after the reorganization transaction. As such, the Reorganization Transactions were considered to have an equivalent effect to a stock split and require retrospective treatment for purposes of computing loss per share. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the Reorganization Transactions for all periods presented.

The issuance of shares in the IPO and the impact of conversion of the senior convertible preference shares into Class A common stock are included in the calculation of loss per share prospectively from the date of issuance or conversion, as the case may be.

 

SHHL Redeemable Preferred Shares and SHHL Redeemable C Ordinary Shares

 

As of January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019, SHHL had redeemable preferred shares and redeemable C ordinary shares outstanding, which are collectively referred to as "redeemable shares." In addition, in March 2021, the Company issued senior convertible preference shares, which were subsequently converted into Class A common stock immediately after the IPO. See Note 15, SHHL Redeemable Preferred Shares and Note 16, SHHL C Ordinary Shares, for additional information.

 

Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption as of a specified date are classified as debt and are initially measured at fair value. Contingently redeemable shares (including shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company's control) are classified as temporary equity and initially measured at fair value.

 

When redemption is deemed to be probable, if the carrying amount of the redeemable shares is less than the redemption value, the carrying value of the shares is increased by periodic accretions so that the carrying value is equal to the redemption amount at the earliest redemption date. Such accretion is recorded as a dividend in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity (deficit).

 

Prior to February 2019, SHHL had certain preferred shares that were redeemable after five years and were considered probable of becoming redeemable in the future. For those shares, the redemption price was fixed, such that no adjustment or accretion was required to the carrying value. Certain other redeemable shares which are neither initially redeemable nor considered to be probable to be redeemable are recorded at their initial carrying value, and an adjustment of the initial carrying amount is not made until it is probable that the shares will become redeemable. During the second fiscal quarter of 2021, the Company concluded that certain SHHL redeemable preferred shares were probable of becoming redeemable and, therefore, the shares were accreted to their redemption value; see Note 15, SHHL Redeemable Preferred Shares, for additional information.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to loss contingencies that arise out of operations in the normal course of business. Periodically, the Company reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses the potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable, and the amount can be reliably estimated, such amount is recognized in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Contingent liabilities are measured at the Company’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation as of the end of the reporting period. If there is no best estimate, an amount is recorded for the lowest amount of the range of potential outcomes. Refer to Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies, for more information.

 

Future Accounting Standards

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The ASU adds to US GAAP an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss, or “CECL,” model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which is intended to result in the more timely recognition of losses. Under the CECL model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument from the date of initial recognition of the financial instrument. The update is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 or the interim period in which the Company loses emerging growth company status, and should be adopted using a modified retrospective approach, which applies a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective.

 

In November 2018 and April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses and ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, respectively. These amendments add clarity to certain areas within ASU 2016-13. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Target Transition Relief, which provided transition relief for entities adopting ASU 2016-13 by allowing the election of the fair value option on certain

financial instruments. The effective date and the transition methodology for the amendments in these updates are the same as in ASU 2016-13.

 

ASU 2016-13 and related updates apply to how the Company evaluates impairments of its trade receivables and notes receivable. The Company does not expect these ASUs to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The ASU requires entities to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The update is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 or the interim period in which the Company loses emerging growth company status, and should be adopted using a prospective approach to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. The amendments in this update require additional annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. The update is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and should be adopted prospectively to all transactions within the scope of the amendments that are reflected in financial statements at the date of initial application and new transactions entered into after the date of initial application, or retrospectively to those transactions. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in US GAAP. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected to early adopt the ASU on January 4, 2021. The provisions of this ASU have been applied on a modified retrospective basis and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. The ASU clarifies that implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements are deferred if they would be capitalized by customers in the software licensing arrangements under the internal-use software guidance. ASU 2018-15 also clarifies that any capitalized costs should not be recorded to depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company adopted this standard effective January 4, 2021 prospectively to all new implementation costs incurred after adoption. The amendments of ASU 2018-15 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Acquisitions

 

Scorpios Acquisition

 

In April 2019, the Company acquired a controlling interest in certain businesses in Greece (“Scorpios Acquisition”) for total consideration of approximately $52 million, including cash consideration of $51 million and contingent consideration of $1 million. The acquired businesses (collectively referred to as the “Scorpios businesses”) comprise a beach club (in which the Company acquired a 67% ownership interest), a hotel (in which the Company acquired a 75% ownership interest), and a restaurant that was under construction as of the acquisition date (in which the Company acquired a 71% ownership interest that was subsequently sold). The Scorpios Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

 

On April 30, 2021, the Company acquired an additional 12% equity interest from various noncontrolling interest holders of Paraga Beach S.A., the entity which owns and operates Scorpios Beach Club, for cash consideration of $9 million. On May 12, 2021, the Company issued 572,410 C2 ordinary shares of SHHL with an aggregate fair value of $8 million to Seligny Holdings Limited and

Jaquelle Limited in order to acquire an additional 11% equity interest in Paraga Beach S.A (collectively, the “Scorpios Noncontrolling Interests Acquisitions”). The fair value of the C2 ordinary shares was derived by using an implied valuation of $13.49 per share which was supported by recent third-party capital raising transactions that occurred during Fiscal 2021. The Scorpios Noncontrolling Interests Acquisitions were accounted for as transactions with noncontrolling interest holders that did not result in a loss of control. In total, the Company derecognized noncontrolling interest of $16 million and recorded the difference between the fair value of consideration transferred to the noncontrolling interest holders and the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest as a reduction in additional paid-in capital. Following the Scorpios Noncontrolling Interests Acquisitions, Seligny Holdings Limited and Jaquelle Limited continue to hold a 10% ownership interest in Paraga Beach S.A.

 

Quentin Limited (Soho Restaurants Limited) Reorganization

 

In August 2020, the Company became the primary beneficiary of Quentin Limited (now known as Soho Restaurants Limited) after a related party became the sole equity owner of Soho Restaurants Limited following a reorganization of the entity. As a result, the Company began consolidating Soho Restaurants Limited and applied the acquisition method of accounting at the date that it became the primary beneficiary as a result of this transaction. No consideration was paid by the Company in this transaction. Upon initial consolidation, the Company recognized $1 million of cash and cash equivalents, $5 million of net working capital liabilities, and $11 million of right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities. In addition, the Company recognized noncontrolling interest of $2 million. There were no material property, plant and equipment and no intangible assets recognized by the Company as a result of consolidating Soho Restaurants Limited. For Fiscal 2020, the consolidated financial statements include the results of Soho Restaurants Limited from the date of initial consolidation through January 3, 2021, however such results are considered immaterial to the overall operations of the Company. See Note 4, Consolidated Variable Interest Entities, for further discussion.

 

Prior to the reorganization, the Company guaranteed the obligations of Soho Restaurants Limited under certain property leases with respect to any required rental and other payments. Prior to Fiscal 2020, the Company did not have to make any payments under these rental guarantees and determined that the likelihood of the Company having to perform under the guarantees was remote. As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Soho Restaurants Limited’s operations, the Company reassessed the likelihood of performance under the guarantees and recognized a charge of $5 million prior to the Soho Restaurants Limited reorganization; this guarantee provision is included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021. Upon consolidating Soho Restaurants Limited in August 2020, the Company’s guarantee obligation pertaining to leases retained by Soho Restaurants Limited after the reorganization was effectively settled as a pre-existing relationship.

 

Cipura Acquisition

 

Prior to May 2021, the Company held a 50% interest in Cipura, which owns and operates the Mandolin Aegean Bistro, located in Miami, Florida. Historically, the Company accounted for its investment in Cipura using the equity method of accounting. On May 10, 2021, the Company acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in Cipura in exchange for issuing 644,828 C2 ordinary shares of SHHL with an aggregate fair value of $9 million (the “Cipura Acquisition”). The fair value of the C2 ordinary shares was derived by using an implied valuation of $13.49 per share, as described above. In connection with the Cipura Acquisition, the Company derecognized its previous 50% ownership interest in Cipura, which was remeasured to fair value; as a result, the Company recognized a gain of $7 million, which is included in gain (loss) on sale of property and other, net in the consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022. The fair value of the Company’s previously held interest was determined based upon the purchase consideration for the remaining 50% ownership interest.

 

The Cipura Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. As a result, the Company initially recognized less than $1 million of cash and cash equivalents, less than $1 million of net working capital liabilities, $1 million of property and equipment, $3 million of intangible assets (consisting of an indefinite-lived trade name), less than $1 million of deferred tax liabilities, and $4 million of right-of-use assets and $5 million of related lease liabilities. In addition, prior to the acquisition, the Company funded certain costs on behalf of Cipura and therefore recorded a balance due from Cipura of $2 million as of the acquisition date. Upon consolidating Cipura on May 10, 2021, the Company’s receivable balance was effectively settled as a pre-existing relationship, with a corresponding increase in the amount of goodwill recognized from the transaction.

 

As a result of the acquisition, the Company recognized goodwill of $17 million, which represents intellectual capital, know-how for potential future openings and undertakings, and economic benefits that the Company expects to derive from the ability to expand the Mandolin Aegean Bistro brand that do not qualify for separate recognition. The entire value of goodwill has been allocated to a separate reporting unit in our North America segment which did not have any goodwill prior to the Cipura Acquisition. The recognized goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company recorded adjustments to

certain previous preliminary estimated fair values which resulted in recognition of an additional operating lease right-of-use asset and associated lease liability of $1 million, a less than $1 million increase in intangible assets, a less than $1 million increase in deferred tax liabilities, and a less than $1 million reduction in goodwill.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the results of Cipura from May 10, 2021 through January 2, 2022, however such results are considered immaterial to the overall operations of the Company. The consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022 also includes less than $1 million in acquisition related costs, which were expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expense.

 

Mandolin Acquisition

 

On May 10, 2021, the Company acquired the intellectual property rights for Mr. Mandolin and Mrs. Mandolin (the “Mandolin IP”) in exchange for issuing 92,647 C2 ordinary shares of SHHL with an aggregate fair value of $1 million (the “Mandolin Acquisition”). The fair value of the C2 ordinary shares was derived by using an implied valuation of $13.49, as described above. The Mandolin Acquisition was accounted for as an asset purchase, and the Mandolin IP has been recorded in other intangible assets, net on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 2, 2022.

 

Soho Works North America Acquisition

 

On May 10, 2021, the Company issued 3,984,883 C2 ordinary shares of SHHL with an aggregate fair value of $54 million to SW SPV, LLC (the “SW Seller”) in order to acquire the SW Seller’s 30% equity ownership interest in Soho Works North America, LLC (the “Soho Works Acquisition”). The fair value of the C2 ordinary shares was derived by using an implied valuation of $13.49 per share, as described above. Prior to the Soho Works Acquisition, the Company held a controlling interest in and therefore consolidated Soho Works North America, LLC. The Soho Works Acquisition was accounted for as a transaction with a noncontrolling interest holder that did not result in a loss of control. The Company derecognized noncontrolling interest of $33 million and recorded the difference between the fair value of consideration transferred to the SW Seller of $54 million and the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest as a reduction in additional paid-in capital (i.e. a deemed distribution in the absence of retained earnings). Following the Soho Works Acquisition, the Company became the sole equity owner of Soho Works North America, LLC.

 

LINE and Saguaro Acquisition

 

On June 22, 2021 the Company entered into a membership interests purchase agreement with Sydell Group LLC (“Sydell”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares in the companies that together operate existing and future “The LINE” and “Saguaro” hotels in the United States (the “LINE and Saguaro Acquisition”). The hotels that are currently operational are located in Los Angeles, Washington DC, Austin, Scottsdale and Palm Springs, and between them offer a variety of food and beverage offerings together with approximately 1,470 hotel rooms. An additional hotel is under development in San Francisco. The Company issued 1,900,599 C2 ordinary shares of SHHL with an aggregate fair value of $26 million as consideration for the LINE and Saguaro Acquisition. The fair value of the C2 ordinary shares was derived by using an implied valuation of $13.49 per share, as described above.

 

The LINE and Saguaro Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The only acquired identifiable assets are related to the hotel management agreements intangible asset, which has a total fair value of $24 million and an estimated useful life of 15 years. The hotel management agreements were valued using the multi-period excess-earnings method, with key inputs consisting of the forecasted hotel management fees (including the probability of renewal of the hotel management agreements), profitability margins, and discount rate applied to the estimated net cash flows. The Company did not acquire any other assets or assume any other liabilities.

 

As a result of the LINE and Saguaro Acquisition, the Company recognized $2 million of goodwill, which represents the fair value of the assembled workforce that is not separately recognized from goodwill and the economic benefits that the Company expects to derive from the ability to expand the hotel management agreements that do not qualify for separate recognition. In addition, the goodwill relates to the synergies expected to be gained from the affiliation of the LINE hotels with the Soho House brand name. The entire value of goodwill has been allocated to a separate reporting unit in our North America segment which did not have any goodwill prior to the LINE and Saguaro Acquisition. The recognized goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the results of the acquired business from June 22, 2021 through January 2, 2022, however such results are considered immaterial to the overall operations of the Company. The consolidated statement of operations

for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022 also includes $1 million in acquisition related costs, which were expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expense.

 

The C2 ordinary shares issued in the transactions described above were exchanged for Class A common stock of MCG in connection with our IPO in July 2021, as further described in Note 1, Nature of the Business.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

 

The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the following material variable interest entities (“VIEs”): Soho Restaurants Limited (beginning in August 2020); Beach House JV, LLC (periods prior to February 2019 only); Ned-Soho House, LLP (formerly known as Soho House-Sydell, LLP; all periods presented); Soho Works Limited (all periods presented); and Soho Works North America, LLC (all periods presented).

 

Soho Restaurants Limited

 

Prior to December 2017, the Company held a 50% interest in Soho Restaurants Limited, a joint venture between the Company and Lansdowne Development Limited (“Lansdowne”). The Company accounted for its investment in Soho Restaurants Limited using the equity method of accounting, as Lansdowne had the power to participate in making decisions related to all of the entity’s significant activities. In December 2017, the Company transferred its entire interest in Soho Restaurants Limited and subsidiaries for an immaterial amount to Quentin Partners Limited (“Quentin Partners”), an affiliate of the Company. As a result of the sale, the Company derecognized its equity-method investment in Soho Restaurants Limited. Following the sale, the Company entered into a Management Service Agreement (the “Quentin Partners MSA”) to provide certain administrative and operating support to Quentin Partners. The Company receives costs reimbursements from Quentin Partners in relation to providing these services, which are netted against operating expenses recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and are immaterial.

 

In addition, prior to December 2017, the Company and Lansdowne each agreed to provide unsecured non-interest-bearing loan notes (“Soho Restaurants Loan Notes”) to Soho Restaurants Limited from time to time. The Soho Restaurants Loan Notes do not have a stated maturity date; however, the notes become due and payable, in part or in whole, at any time at the option of the holder or Soho Restaurants Limited. The Company retained the Soho Restaurants Loan Notes after the sale of its equity interest in Soho Restaurants Limited. During Fiscal 2020, following a review of the recoverability of the balances due from Soho Restaurants Limited, the carrying value was reduced to zero.

 

In periods prior to Fiscal 2020, the Company determined that the Soho Restaurants Loan Notes, lease guarantees and Quentin Partners MSA did not provide it with the power to direct Soho Restaurants Limited’s most significant activities and, therefore, the Company was not the primary beneficiary of Soho Restaurants Limited.

 

On August 18, 2020, Soho Restaurants Limited underwent a series of reorganization steps, through which Lansdowne sold its 50% equity interest in Soho Restaurants Limited to Quentin Partners and concurrently acquired 100% of Soho Restaurants Limited’s equity interest in Mollie’s Motels Holdings Limited. Following the reorganization, Quentin Partners became the sole equity holder of Soho Restaurants Limited. Additionally, as part of these reorganization steps, various notes payable and receivable held by Soho Restaurants Limited were acquired, settled, or, in some cases, forgiven. Specifically, Quentin Partners acquired for nominal consideration (and forgave) all outstanding Soho Restaurants Loan Notes with the exception of a £1 million ($1 million) Loan Note, which remains outstanding after the reorganization was completed. As a result of the reorganization and the Company’s variable interest in Soho Restaurants Limited (consisting primarily of a Loan Note and certain lease guarantees, as described in Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies), the Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Soho Restaurants Limited due to its related party affiliation with Quentin Partners and its funding of the majority of Soho Restaurants Limited’s operations. As such, the Company began consolidating Soho Restaurants Limited on August 18, 2020. The Soho Restaurants Limited reorganization transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting as described in Note 3, Acquisitions.

 

Beach House JV, LLC

 

The Company has a 100% economic interest in Beach House JV, LLC (“Soho Beach House Miami”). Prior to February 2019, the property mortgage loans associated with Soho Beach House Miami provided the lenders with certain decision-making rights and, as a result, the Company concluded that the entity was a VIE, and the Company was its primary beneficiary. In February 2019, the Company refinanced the property mortgage loans associated with Beach House JV, LLC, as further described in Note 12, Debt. As a

result of the refinancing and the associated changes in decision-making rights of the holders of equity at risk, Beach House JV, LLC ceased to be a VIE in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019. The Company continues to consolidate this entity based on its 100% interest.

 

Ned-Soho House, LLP

 

The Ned-Soho House, LLP joint venture maintains a management agreement to operate The Ned, which is owned by unconsolidated related parties to the Company. Management fees are recognized in other revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has a higher economic interest in Ned-Soho House, LLP as compared to its related party venture partner and therefore the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary.

 

Soho Works Limited and Soho Works North America, LLC

 

The Soho Works Limited (“SWL”) joint venture develops and operates Soho-branded, membership-based co-working spaces, with two sites currently in operation in the UK. The joint venture agreement relates to the UK only. The joint venture was formed on September 29, 2017 when the Company granted to two unrelated individuals an option to subscribe for 30% of the issued shares of SWL. The option has not yet been exercised and, consequently, the Company has 100% economic interest in SWL. Upon exercise of the option, the Company would have 70% economic interest in SWL. The options carry voting rights such that the Company and other joint venture partners each hold 50% of the voting rights in respect of shareholder resolutions and certain reserved matters as defined in the joint venture agreement. The Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct all significant activities of the joint venture.

 

Soho Works North America, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“SWNA”) was established to develop and operate Soho-branded, membership-based co-working spaces in North America. This joint venture was formed on December 26, 2018 when the Company granted to related and unrelated individuals a subscription for 30% of the issued shares of SWNA. Under the terms of the original joint venture agreement, the Company held a 70% economic interest in SWNA; the Company and other joint venture partners each held 50% of the voting rights in respect of shareholder resolutions and certain reserved matters. In all periods prior to May 2021, the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary because the Company, together with the related party joint venture partners, had the power to direct the most significant activities that affect the economic performance of SWNA, and the parties had the obligations/rights to those economic losses or benefits that could be significant to SWNA. In May 2021, the Company completed the Soho Works Acquisition, as described in Note 3, Acquisitions. Following the transaction, the Company controls all voting rights and has exposure to all of the economics of the entity as a result of being the sole equity owners. SWNA continues to require ongoing financial support and additional funding and therefore, SWNA continues to be a VIE. Given that the Company had exposure to the economics since inception of the entity and has unilateral rights to make significant financial and operating decisions of the entity, the Company continues to be the primary beneficiary and continues to consolidate SWNA under the VIE model.

 

The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and classification of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities included in the consolidated balance sheets. The obligations of the consolidated VIEs other than Soho Restaurants Limited are non-recourse to the Company, and the assets of the VIEs can be used only to settle those obligations.

(1)
During Fiscal 2021, the Company acquired the remaining 50% interest in Cipura and had 100% ownership of the investment as of January 2, 2022. The entity became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company beginning on the date of acquisition, as described in Note 3, Acquisitions.

 

Under applicable guidance for VIEs, the Company determined that its investments in Soho House Toronto Partnership ("Soho House Toronto") and the entities comprising 56-60 Redchurch Street, London are VIEs. Soho House Toronto owns and operates a House located in Toronto, while 56-60 Redchurch Street, London provides additional members’ accommodation capacity for Shoreditch House in London. Prior to Fiscal 2020, the Company’s investment in the entities comprising Soho House Barcelona were also considered to be VIEs, as described further below.

 

Toronto Joint Venture

 

On March 28, 2012, the Company and two unrelated investors (“Toronto Partners”) formed Soho House Toronto to establish and operate a house in Toronto, Canada. The Company is responsible for managing the development and operations of the property with key operating decisions requiring joint approval with the Toronto Partners. The Company owns a 50% interest and each of the Toronto Partners owns a 25% interest in Soho House Toronto. Each investor is entitled to a share of the profits or losses of Soho House Toronto in proportion to their respective ownership percentage. As part of the original agreement, the Toronto Partners received a put option to sell their interest in Soho House Toronto to the Company at fair value and the Company received a call option to purchase the Toronto Partners' interests at fair value. As of 2015, certain restrictions expired and the put and call options are exercisable. As of January 2, 2022, no options have been exercised.

 

Soho House Toronto entered into a 10-year lease agreement with a landlord to lease the property. This lease was extended for an additional 5 years in fiscal 2021. A subsidiary of the Company provided a guarantee to the landlord for Soho House Toronto's rental liabilities.

 

Barcelona Joint Venture

 

On January 28, 2014, the Company and an unrelated development partner (“Barcelona Partner”) formed Mimea XXI, S.L.U. (“Mimea”) to establish and operate Soho House Barcelona in Barcelona, Spain. Soho House Barcelona is owned by Mirador Barcel S.L., a subsidiary of Mimea. Each partner has a 50% interest in Soho House Barcelona through the indirect ownership of ordinary shares. Internal allocation of profits in relation to running Soho House Barcelona, calculated as defined in the contract, is shared between the Company and Barcelona Partner based on their respective ownership percentage. All remaining profits or losses of Soho House Barcelona are attributed solely to the Company in return for managing the operations. In addition, the Barcelona Partner received certain development-related fees for the development of the property. Following its redevelopment and opening of the Soho House Barcelona, the Company agreed to meet certain performance targets (see Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies). On June 4, 2020, the Company entered into an amended shareholders agreement as a result of a newly formed joint venture to operate Little Beach House Barcelona, a private members club and hotel developed at the existing Barcelona property. Little Beach House Barcelona is a newly formed subsidiary under Mimea. As a result of the reorganization and amendments to the shareholders agreement, the Company determined that the entities comprising the Barcelona joint venture are not VIEs, and the investment is accounted for under the equity-method. During the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, the Company advanced an additional $8 million and $2 million, respectively, to the Soho House Barcelona joint venture.

 

56-60 Redchurch Street, London Joint Venture

 

On July 6, 2015, the Company and an unrelated investor (“Raycliff Partner”) formed Raycliff Red LLP (“Club Row Rooms”) to develop and operate a hotel at 58-60 Redchurch Street intended to provide additional members’ accommodation to the nearby Shoreditch House in London. This was later extended to include 56 Redchurch Street under the same terms. The Company is responsible for managing the operations of the property and the Raycliff Partner is responsible for managing the building. Each partner has a 50% interest in Club Row Rooms through equal ownership of B units. The Raycliff Partner owns all A units. All profits and losses from operations are shared between parties based on their respective ownership of B units. Distributions from cash flows not generated from operations are first allocated to holders of A units (for an amount of up to £500,000), with the remainder distributed to holders of B units in proportion to their holdings. Under a hotel management agreement and restaurant management agreement between the Company and Club Row Rooms, the Company also receives a 2.5% management fee in return for managing the hotel operations and a 3.5% management fee in return for managing the restaurant operations of the property. The amounts received to date under this agreement are immaterial. Club Row Rooms, which owns the rights to the property, financed the

development of the property through third-party debt. The Company has entered into a security arrangement with the bank in relation to this debt (see Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies).

 

The Raycliff Partner holds a put option which requires the Company to purchase all the Raycliff Partner’s interest at fair value in the event the Company ceases to own a controlling interest in the nearby Shoreditch House. As of January 2, 2022, and January 3, 2021, the put option has not been triggered.

 

The Company concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the Soho House Toronto or 56-60 Redchurch Street, London VIEs in any of the periods presented, as its joint venture partners have the power to participate in making decisions related to the majority of significant activities of each investee. Accordingly, the Company concluded that application of the equity method of accounting is appropriate for these investees. Barcelona was previously determined to be a VIE; however, the execution of amended governing documents in June 2020 constitutes a reconsideration event and Barcelona no longer meets the VIE criteria.

 

Summarized Financial Information

 

The following tables present summarized financial information for all unconsolidated equity method investees. The Company’s maximum exposure to losses related to its equity method investments is limited to its ownership interests as well as certain guarantees as described in Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies.

Leases

 

The Company has entered into various lease agreements for its Houses, hotels, restaurants, spas and other properties across North America, Europe, and Asia. The Company’s material leases have reasonably assured lease terms ranging from 1 year to 30 years for operating leases and 50 years for finance leases. Certain operating leases provide the Company with multiple renewal options that generally range from 5 years to 10 years, with rent payments on renewal based on a predetermined annual increase or market rates at the time of exercise of the renewal. The Company has 2 material finance leases with 25-year renewal options, with rent payments on renewal based on upward changes in inflation rates. As of January 2, 2022, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for 101 operating leases and 2 finance leases. During the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, there were 19 new operating leases, 1 cancelled operating lease, and 10 modifications of existing operating leases. When recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the Company includes certain renewal options where the Company is reasonably assured to exercise the renewal option.

 

The maturity of the Company’s operating and finance lease liabilities as of January 2, 2022 is as follows:

Certain lease agreements include variable lease payments that, in the future, will vary based on changes in the local inflation rates, market rate rents, or business revenues of the leased premises. Leases that contain market rate rents generally reset every five years.

 

Straight-line rent expense recognized as part of in-House operating expenses for operating leases was $117 million, $110 million, and $89 million for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019 respectively. Variable lease payments recognized as part of in-House operating expense for operating leases were $6 million, $3 million, and $15 million for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019, respectively, including non-lease components such as common area maintenance fees.

 

For the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019 the Company recognized amortization expense related to the right-of-use asset for finance leases of $2 million, $2 million, and $1 million respectively, and interest expense related to finance leases of $5 million, $5 million, and $5 million respectively. There were no material variable lease payments for finance leases for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019.

 

New Houses typically have a maturation profile that commences sometime after the lease commencement date used in the determination of the lease accounting in accordance with Topic 842. The consolidated balance sheets set out the operating lease liabilities split between sites trading less than one year and sites trading more than one year. “Sites trading less than one year” and “sites trading more than one year” reference sites that have been open (as measured from the date the site first accepted a paying guest) for a period less than one year from the balance sheet date and those that have been open for a period longer than one year from the balance sheet date.

As of January 2, 2022, the Company has entered into 10 operating lease agreements for Houses, hotels, restaurants, and other properties that are in various stages of construction by the landlord. The Company will determine the classification as of the lease commencement date, but currently expects these under construction leases to be operating leases. Soho House Design is involved to varying degrees in the design of these leased properties under construction. For certain of these leases, the Soho House Design team is acting as the construction manager on behalf of the landlord. Pending significant completion of all landlord improvements and final execution of the related lease, the Company expects these leases to commence in fiscal years ending 2022, 2023 and 2026. The Company estimates the total undiscounted lease payments for the leases commencing in fiscal years 2022, 2023 and 2026 will be $488 million, $361 million, and $133 million, respectively, with weighted-average expected lease terms of 23 years, 19 years, and 25 years for 2022, 2023 and 2026, respectively.

Financing Obligation

 

In April 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to sell a property in downtown Los Angeles (“DTLA property”) for $30 million with $9 million contingently held back by the buyer. The Company simultaneously entered into an agreement to lease the land and building back from the buyer. As an incentive to enter the lease, the buyer has committed to provide an additional $59 million of funding towards the development of the property, which includes the contingent proceeds held back upon the sale. This lease agreement has an original lease term of 20 years, with two 10-year renewal options. The lease payments for the original lease term and both renewal options, if exercised, are $6.4 million per year, adjusted upward for local inflation rates that will not be less than 2% increase per year.

 

The Company determined that the buyer/lessor did not obtain control of the property after the sale and will not obtain control throughout the construction period and subsequent leaseback period. Therefore, the transaction is accounted for as a financing obligation, and the Company will continue to recognize the building on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company also recognized a financing obligation for any funding received from the buyer/lessor along with accrued interest over the construction period. There was no current portion of the financing obligation as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021. The non-current portion of the financing obligation was $76 million and $74 million as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, respectively.

 

Costs incurred related to the development of the property were capitalized as incurred as a component of construction in progress. During the construction period, interest was capitalized at the 9% interest rate implicit in the lease. At the end of September 2019, the construction was complete and the property opened for business. Upon completion of construction, the balance of construction in progress was reclassified to depreciable asset classes within property and equipment, net. After the completion of construction, the

Company expenses interest using the effective interest method in the period incurred. As of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, the Company has capitalized $87 million and $90 million, respectively, pertaining to the DTLA property.

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the asset's carrying value may not be recoverable. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related temporary House closures in Fiscal 2020, the Company reviewed its long-lived assets for impairment and determined there were no recoverability concerns, except for Little House Mayfair Apartments, the carrying value of which was determined to not be recoverable. As a result, the Company calculated the fair value of Little House Mayfair Apartments and recognized an impairment loss of less than $1 million during the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021.

The Company does not believe that there are any material potential effects on financial reporting of the market-wide migration away from LIBOR, which was phased out at the end of calendar year 2021, to alternative reference rates. As of January 2, 2022, the Company did not have any outstanding debt balances with associated LIBOR rates. To the extent such debt balances arise, the Company plans to replace the LIBOR benchmark rate with another benchmark rate, such as the SONIA.

The descriptions below show the financial instrument amounts in the currency of denomination with USD equivalent in parentheses, where applicable, translated using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the respective transaction.

 

On September 27, 2013, the Company entered into a £25 million ($31 million) floating rate revolving credit facility which originally matured in March 2018, of which £18 million ($28 million) related to SHG Acquisition (UK) Limited and subsidiaries and $10 million related to the US subsidiaries. In February 2016, the Company modified the revolving credit facility to increase the capacity to £30 million ($38 million). In April 2017, the Company renewed the revolving credit facility for a period of four and a half years and increased the total availability under the facility to £35 million ($46 million). The Company incurred interest expense of $3 million on this facility during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019. The facility was terminated on December 9, 2019 and replaced with a new facility described below. As a result of the termination, the Company wrote off unamortized debt issuance costs of less than $1 million; this write-off is included in interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

On December 5, 2019, the Company entered into a £55 million ($72 million) floating rate revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") with a maturity date of January 25, 2022. In April 2020, the Company secured an additional £20 million ($25 million) of liquidity under this facility and extended the maturity until January 2023. As of January 3, 2021, the Company had £14 million ($19 million) remaining to draw against this facility. During the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, the Company repaid the entire outstanding balance of the facility with proceeds from the IPO. As of January 2, 2022, £71 million ($96 million) is available to draw under this facility, with £4m ($6 million) utilized as a letter of guarantee in respect of one of the Company's lease agreements. The facility is secured on a fixed and floating charge basis over certain assets of the Company. The Company incurred interest expense of $3 million, $4 million, and less than $1 million on this facility during the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019 respectively. On November 15, 2021, Soho House Bond Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into the First Amended and Restated Revolving Facility Agreement (the "First Amendment"). The First Amendment amended the Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, change the reference rate under the Revolving Credit Facility for borrowings denominated in pounds sterling from a LIBOR-based rate to a SONIA-based rate and to transition reporting from accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The First Amendment also reset the Company's Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) test

levels, scaling from £0 at December 31, 2021 to £32.0 million ($44 million, if translated using the average exchange rate in effect during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022) after June 30, 2022. On February 11, 2022, Soho House Bond Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Facility Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), which amends and restates the Revolving Credit Facility. The Second Amendment amends the Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date from January 25, 2023 to January 25, 2024.

 

In April 2017, the Company entered into the Permira Senior Facility, which consisted of a £275 million ($345 million) senior secured loan with an interest rate of LIBOR (subject to a floor of 1%) + 8%. A portion of the interest was in the form of payment-in-kind interest, with the accrued interest being converted to capital outstanding on the loan at each interest payment date. The Permira Senior Facility was secured on a fixed and floating charge basis over the assets of the Company. As of January 3, 2021, the Company had £397 million ($542 million) due under the Permira Senior Facility, which was initially scheduled to mature in April 2022, however the maturity date was subsequently extended until April 2023. The Company incurred interest expense of $13 million, $51 million, and $43 million (including payment-in-kind interest of zero, $26 million, and $14 million) during the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019 respectively. In March 2021, the Company repaid in full the balance outstanding under the Permira Senior Facility, consisting of a GBP tranche with an outstanding principal balance, including accrued payment-in-kind interest, of £368 million ($505 million); a USD tranche with an outstanding principal balance, including accrued payment-in-kind interest, of $8 million, and an EUR tranche with an outstanding principal balance, including accrued payment-in-kind interest, of €45 million ($53 million). As a result of the repayment, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $14 million, consisting of prepayment penalties of $4 million, write-offs of unamortized debt issuance costs of $5 million, and an exit fee of $5 million. Upon repayment of the facility, the Company also settled accrued payment-in-kind interest totaling $79 million. The loss on extinguishment of debt is reflected in interest expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022.

 

In January 2018, the Company entered into leases in connection with its Greek Street properties. As part of these leases, the landlord has funded a principal amount of £5 million ($7 million), which represents costs paid directly by the landlord which will be repaid by the Company. Amounts funded by the landlord prior to the lease inception date were initially reflected as accrued liabilities and subsequently converted into long-term debt upon execution of the respective agreements. The Greek Street loans carry interest of 7.5%, are due for repayment in January 2028 and are unsecured. The Company incurred interest expense of less than $1 million during each of the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019.

 

In June 2018, the Company received proceeds of $6.5 million from the landlord of the Soho House Hong Kong property under a loan agreement.

Financial Covenants

 

Some of the Company’s debt instruments contain a number of covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to incur debt in excess of calculated amounts, ability to make distributions under certain circumstances and generally require the Company to maintain certain financial metrics, such as leverage and minimum working capital levels. Failure for the Company to comply with the financial covenants contained in the debt instruments could result from, among other things, changes in its statement of operations, the incurrence of additional debt or changes in general economic conditions.

 

If the Company violates the financial covenants contained in the debt instruments, the Company may attempt to negotiate waivers of the violations or amend the terms of the applicable instruments, however, the Company can make no assurance that it would be successful in any such negotiations or that, if successful in obtaining waivers or amendments, such amendments or waivers would be on terms attractive to the Company.

 

As of January 2, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants, current on all payments and not otherwise in default under any of the Company’s debt instruments.

Fair Value Measurements

 

Recurring and Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

 

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of January 2, 2022. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of January 3, 2021 with the exception of Little House Mayfair Apartments for which the Company recognized an impairment loss during the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021 as discussed in Note 9, Property and Equipment, Net.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company believes the carrying values of its financial instruments related to current assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to short-term maturities.

 

The Company has estimated the fair value of the Senior Secured Notes as of January 2, 2022 using a discounted cash flow analysis. With respect to the fair value of the Permira Senior Facility as of January 3, 2021, the Company does not believe that its financial performance or creditworthiness changed significantly since the inception of the facility, which was issued at par with a floating interest rate of LIBOR (subject to a floor of 1%) + 7%. Given the nature of this floating rate obligation and the stability of the Company’s creditworthiness, the carrying value (excluding debt issuance costs of $5 million as of January 3, 2021) closely approximated the Permira obligation’s fair value prior to the repayment of the Permira Senior Facility in March 2021.

 

The fair value of the remaining debt is estimated to be equal to the current carrying value of each instrument based on a comparison of each instrument’s contractual terms to current market terms. The Company does not believe that the use of different market inputs would have resulted in a materially different fair value of debt as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021.

Share-Based Compensation

 

In January 2012, in conjunction with the Acquisition, Soho House & Co Limited issued 4,469,417 B ordinary shares to its founder and CEO, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $0.330.21) per share. These shares were restricted upon issuance and were scheduled to vest annually in equal installments over a five-year service period, or cliff-vest at the time of a change of control transaction, if earlier. This issuance of shares was accounted for similar to a stock option due to the consideration associated with the shares being due at the time of such shares being transferred or sold or, if earlier, December 31, 2020. All B ordinary shares became fully vested on January 12, 2017 and the Company received payment in full for the stock issuance. No share-based compensation expense has been recognized with respect to the B ordinary shares in any of the periods presented.

 

In August 2020, the Company established the 2020 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) under which SHHL Share Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) and SHHL Growth Shares were issued to certain employees. The awards are settled in SHHL ordinary D shares and the Company can grant up to 9,978,143 SHHL ordinary D shares under the 2020 Plan. In connection with the IPO in July 2021, 25% of the outstanding awards accelerated in accordance with the original plan and all of the outstanding awards were exchanged into awards that will be settled in Class A common stock of MCG. As a result of the exchange, 7,127,246 SHHL SARs were converted into 6,023,369 MCG SARs and 2,850,897 SHHL Growth Shares were converted into 781,731 MCG restricted stock awards. The exchanged awards are subject to the same vesting conditions as the original awards. The Company treated the exchange as a Type I probable-to-probable modification and measured the incremental cost of $5 million. The expense for accelerated awards and the incremental cost associated with vested awards of $13 million was recognized immediately upon the exchange.

 

In July 2021, the Company established its 2021 Equity and Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan"). The 2021 Plan allows for grants of nonqualified stock options, SARs, and RSUs, or performance awards. There were 12,107,333 shares initially available for all awards under the 2021 Plan and the shares available will increase annually on the first day of each calendar year, beginning with the calendar year ending December 31, 2022. As of January 2, 2022, there were 9,484,456 shares available for future awards.

 

SHHL SARs and SHHL Growth Shares granted during 2020 under the 2020 Plan were scheduled to vest annually in equal installments over a four-year period, or cliff-vest at the time of a change of control transaction, if earlier. Upon a Qualifying IPO event (initial public offering where primary and secondary proceeds exceed $100 million), the 2020 Plan allowed for up to one year of vesting to accelerate. SHHL SARs had a base price per share of $10.523 and a contractual term of 10 years. According to the provisions of the 2020 Plan, exercised SHHL SARs would be settled in cash upon a change of control and in ordinary shares upon an IPO event. SHHL Growth Shares would be settled in D ordinary shares and were scheduled to vest upon a change in control or an IPO event. All awards issued under the 2020 Plan are accounted for as equity classified awards.

 

In July 2021, the Company granted 2,115,887 RSUs to employees and Board members under the 2021 Plan. The RSUs vest in two equal installments on the second and third anniversaries of the grant date, with the exception of RSUs granted to certain executives, which vest in four equal installments on the first, second, third, and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. In December 2021, the Company granted 506,990 RSUs to certain employees that will vest over a month. As of January 2, 2022, there were 2,622,877 RSUs outstanding under the 2021 Plan. All RSUs are accounted for as equity classified awards.

 

Share-based compensation during the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021 was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within general and administrative expense as shown in the following table:

The expected volatility assumption is developed using leverage-adjusted historical volatilities for public peer companies for the period equal to the expected average life of the awards.
(3)
The risk-free rate is based on the US Treasury Rate Yield Curve Rate as of the grant date with maturities equal to the expected average life of the awards.
(4)
The expected dividend yield is 0.0% since the Company does not expect to pay dividends.

 

The weighted-average grant date fair values for SARs granted during the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021 were 4.43 and $3.46, respectively. There were no SARs granted during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019.

15.
SHHL Redeemable Preferred Shares

 

In May 2016, the Company issued 10,000,000, 7% SHHL redeemable preferred shares totaling £10 million ($15 million) to unrelated parties. These shares were redeemable by the holders upon an exit, such as an IPO, or sale of the Company and the cumulative dividends are only paid on redemption. As of January 3, 2021, redemption of the preferred shares was not probable. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company concluded that the shares were probable of becoming redeemable and, therefore, accreted the shares to their redemption value. The accretion of $5 million is reflected as a reduction in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated statements of changes in redeemable shares and shareholders’ equity (deficit). In addition, the Company remeasured the SHHL redeemable preferred shares and recognized a foreign currency translation gain of $1 million for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, which is reflected within accumulated deficit on the consolidated statements of changes in redeemable shares and shareholders’ equity (deficit). The Company redeemed these preferred shares for cash totaling $20 million in July 2021.

 

On March 31, 2021, the Company issued 12,970,766 senior convertible preference shares (the “Senior Preference Shares”) in an aggregate liquidation preference of $175 million, or approximately $13.49 per Senior Preference Share (the “Issuance Price”), to certain funds managed, sponsored or advised by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC or its affiliates (the “Preference Share Investors”). The Company received net proceeds of $162 million and incurred transaction costs of $13 million related to the Senior Preference Shares. The Senior Preference Shares accrue a non-cash dividend of 8% per annum on the investment amount of the Senior Preference Shares plus all previously compounded non-cash dividends. During the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, the Company recognized non-cash preferred dividends of $4 million as an adjustment to the carrying value of the Senior Preference Shares, with a corresponding reduction in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated statements of changes in redeemable shares and shareholders’ equity (deficit). In addition, the Company recognized a deemed dividend of $51 million in connection with the conversion of the Senior Preference Shares into Class A common stock, because the conversion was effected at a discount to the public offering price. This deemed dividend is reflected as a reduction in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated statements of changes in redeemable preferred shares and shareholders' equity (deficit).

 

On July 19, 2021, all of the outstanding Senior Preference Shares were converted into an aggregate of 15,526,619 shares of Class A common stock of MCG immediately upon the closing of the IPO (as described in Note 1, Nature of the Business).

16.
SHHL C Ordinary Shares

 

On August 23, 2019, the Company issued 4,276,347 SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares to an unrelated third party for a total subscription price of $45 million. On the same date, the new investor purchased 475,150 SHHL A ordinary shares directly from Mr. Nick Jones for $5 million; these shares were immediately converted into an equal number of SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares. On November 4, 2019, the Company issued an additional 2,181,507 shares to the same investor for $20 million, resulting in a total of 6,933,004 SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of December 29, 2019. The Company received net proceeds of $63 million and incurred $5 million of share issuance costs in connection with these transactions.

 

On May 19, 2020, the Company issued an additional 9,502,993 SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares to a different unrelated third party for a total subscription price of $100 million, net of discount of $6 million. The Company received net proceeds of $94 million

and incurred $1 million of share issuance costs in connection with this issuance. As a result, the Company had 16,435,997 SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of January 3, 2021. The Company recorded the SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares as mezzanine equity as a result of the redemption provision described below.

 

Upon meeting certain conditions, the holders of the SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares described above had the option to redeem all of the shares between October 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024 with respect to the shares issued in August 2019 or between August 23, 2023 and February 23, 2024 with respect to the shares issued in May 2020, provided that the Company had not completed a public listing of its shares prior to the beginning of the respective redemption period. The redemption amount would be determined using a 5% stated rate of return on the holders’ aggregate subscription price, calculated for the period between August 23, 2019 (or May 19, 2020 for the subsequent issuance) and the redemption date. As of January 3, 2021, redemption of the SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares was not probable and, therefore, the Company recorded the shares at their original issuance price and has not accreted the shares to their redemption value.

 

An investor option was provided in conjunction with the SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares issued on May 19, 2020. In March 2021, the investor option was exercised for the full $50 million, net of a discount of $3 million, and the Company issued an additional 4,751,497 SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares. The Company received net proceeds of $47 million and did not incur any material share issuance costs in connection with this issuance. As a result, the Company had 21,187,494 SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the IPO. Redemption of these SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares was not probable as of any period preceding the IPO.

 

On December 8, 2020, Mr. Nick Jones sold certain of his SHHL A ordinary shares to an unrelated third party and as a condition of the transaction, the A ordinary shares were converted into 1,710,546 SHHL C ordinary shares. Unlike the previously issued SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares described above, the investor does not have the right to redeem these converted SHHL C ordinary shares. Therefore, 1,710,546 of the total 18,146,543 SHHL C ordinary shares outstanding as of January 3, 2021 were classified as permanent equity instead of mezzanine equity.

 

On July 19, 2021, all of the outstanding SHHL C ordinary shares were exchanged into an aggregate of 6,592,023 shares of Class A common stock and 10,871,215 shares of Class B common stock of MCG in connection with the Reorganization Transactions (as described in Note 1, Nature of the Business).

17.
Loss Per Share and Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit)

 

Prior to the IPO, SHHL had five classes of ordinary shares: A ordinary shares , B ordinary shares, C ordinary shares (a portion of which had certain redemption rights), C2 ordinary shares and D ordinary shares.

 

Holders of SHHL A ordinary shares (par value of £1) were entitled to one vote for each A ordinary share held. Each A ordinary shareholder was entitled pari passu to dividend payments or any other distributions.

 

In January 2012, the Company issued 4,469,417 of SHHL B ordinary shares with par value of £0.0001, which had no voting rights. These shares vested annually in equal installments over a period of five years, and all shares became vested on January 12, 2017. SHHL B ordinary shareholders were entitled to income rights in proportion to the SHHL A ordinary shareholders based on the number of shares held only after £167 million ($228 million, translated using the exchange rate on January 3, 2021) had been returned in aggregate to the holders of SHHL A ordinary shares, the SHHL C ordinary shares and the SHHL C2 ordinary shares.

 

As described in Note 16, SHHL C Ordinary Shares, in August and November 2019, the Company issued 6,933,004 SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares (par value of £1) to the same unrelated third party in two separate transactions. The Company issued an additional 9,502,993 SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares (par value of £1) to a separate unrelated third party in May 2020. The holders of SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares were entitled to one vote for each share held. In addition, so long as certain conditions were met, each of the investors was entitled to appoint one non-executive director and one non-voting observer director to the Company’s board and also had certain veto rights with respect to a sale of the Company prior to August 23, 2024. All SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares were entitled to dividend payments or any other distributions on a pari passu basis with other classes of SHHL ordinary shares. Upon a public listing of the Company’s shares, the SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares would convert into the same class of shares as the SHHL A ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis, subject to certain anti-dilution protection, whereby the holders of the SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares would receive additional shares if the value of the as-converted SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares was less than the investors’ initial subscription price.

 

Separate from the SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares discussed above, in December 2020, the Company converted 1,710,546 SHHL A ordinary shares into 1,710,546 SHHL C ordinary shares which were not redeemable by the Company. These SHHL C ordinary shares did not have any voting or veto rights. The shares were entitled to dividend payments or any other distributions on a pari passu basis with other classes of SHHL ordinary shares. Upon a public listing of the Company’s shares, the SHHL C ordinary shares would convert into the same class of shares as the SHHL A ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis, subject to certain anti-dilution protection, whereby the holders of the SHHL C ordinary shares would receive additional shares if the value of the as-converted SHHL C ordinary shares was less than the investors’ initial purchase price.

 

In December 2019, the Company issued 3,326,048 of non-voting SHHL C2 ordinary shares with par value of £1 to an unrelated third party. The Company incurred $1 million of share issuance costs in connection with this transaction. The SHHL C2 ordinary shares were entitled to dividend payments or any other distributions on a pari passu basis with other classes of SHHL ordinary shares.

 

In August 2020, the Company established the 2020 Plan, under which employees received SHHL SARs and SHHL Growth Shares which would be settled in SHHL D ordinary shares (par value of £0.0001). As of January 3, 2021, there are 2,850,897 SHHL D ordinary shares issued and outstanding. The SHHL D ordinary shares did not have any voting rights. SHHL D ordinary shareholders were entitled to income and distribution rights in proportion to the SHHL A ordinary, B ordinary, C ordinary and C2 ordinary shareholders based on the number of shares held only after $1,800 million had been returned to the holders of all other classes of SHHL ordinary shares.

 

Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, affiliates of The Yucaipa Companies, LLC, and Messrs. Ron Burkle, Nick Jones, and Richard Caring exchanged their SHHL A ordinary shares, SHHL B ordinary shares, SHHL C ordinary shares and SHHL D ordinary shares for 141,500,385 shares of Class B common stock of MCG having an equivalent value, while the other ordinary shareholders of SHHL exchanged their equity interests for 14,935,193 shares of Class A common stock of MCG having an equivalent value.

The net loss attributable to the Company in calculating basic and diluted loss per share for all periods presented is adjusted for cumulative undeclared dividends on the May 2016 preferred shares. In addition, the net loss attributable to the Company in calculating basic and diluted loss per share for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022 is adjusted for non-cash dividends on the Senior Preference Shares and the impact of the deemed dividend to the holders of Senior Preference Shares upon their conversion into MCG Class A common stock.

 

The loss per share calculations for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021 exclude additional shares that would be issuable to the holders of SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares in the event of a public listing that resulted in the value of the SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares being less than the investor’s initial subscription price, because the impact of including such additional shares would be anti-dilutive. In addition, the loss per share calculations for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021 exclude the impact of unvested Growth Shares (which were exchanged into restricted stock awards in connection with the IPO) because the inclusion of such shares in diluted loss per share would be anti-dilutive.

Litigation Matters

 

The Company is not a party to any litigation other than litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management and legal counsel do not expect that the ultimate outcome of any of its currently ongoing legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

In connection with the closure of Houses across the world beginning on March 14, 2020, the Company in its sole discretion issued membership credits to Soho House members to be redeemed for certain Soho House products and services. Membership credits were issued by the Company as a one-time goodwill gesture deemed to be a marketing offer to Soho House members, and were initially set to expire on December 31, 2020. The liability associated with the membership credits is derecognized based on the usage of credits and the cost of the inventory or services to fulfill the Company’s obligation to its Soho House members; this liability is classified within other current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. In December 2020, the Company made the decision in its sole discretion to extend the expiration date to June 30, 2021 as a result of the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in a significant number of the Houses remaining closed or operating at a reduced capacity for longer periods than the Company originally expected. In March 2021, the Company decided in its sole discretion to further extend the expiration date to September 30, 2021. The Company simultaneously adjusted its obligation based on its best estimate of the cost to be incurred. The redemption rate used to estimate the obligation associated with the membership credits was based on the Company’s cumulative

experience to-date. Accordingly, an estimated liability of $12 million was accrued as of January 3, 2021. There were associated marketing expenses of $8 million and $12 million during the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, respectively, which are included within other expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The expense recognized during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022 is net of $4 million recorded upon expiration of the vast majority of credits on September 30, 2021.

 

On December 7, 2017, 139 Ludlow Acquisition LLC entered into a loan agreement with Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC. The borrower is a joint venture owned in equal thirds by Soho 139 Holdco, LLC (an entity controlled by the Company) and its two partners. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the lender advanced $33.5 million, the bulk of which proceeds were used to extinguish and refinance the borrower’s previous mortgage loan with Centennial Bank. The loan is secured with a first priority mortgage and security interest on the real property known as 139 Ludlow Street, New York (including an assignment of leases and rents and other customary mortgage documents). The loan is generally “non-recourse”, but subject to standard “carve-outs” for which US AcquireCo, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and its joint venture partners (the “Guarantors”) provided a guarantee of recourse obligations, pursuant to which such Guarantors are jointly and severally obligated to pay (without any cap or limit) the amounts of any actual loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by the lender.

 

In August 2014, the Company entered into a security arrangement with regards to Raycliff Red LLP’s (a VIE’s) £4 million ($7 million) bank loan to redevelop a property into an overflow location for Shoreditch House hotel rooms in the United Kingdom. In May 2016, the VIE extended the existing loan to £10 million ($15 million) to, inter alia, purchase an adjoining property that was redeveloped as an overflow location for Shoreditch House hotel rooms. In May 2017, the VIE extended the existing loan to £20 million ($26 million). In July 2018, the facility was extended by a further £0.4 million ($0.5 million). The Company has provided security in respect of the loan by granting the lender a charge over its membership interest in the VIE. The security will remain in effect until the VIE’s bank loan is repaid in full to the lender. In October 2019, the VIE entered into a term loan facility agreement with a new lender, the proceeds of which were used to repay the previous bank loan. As of January 2, 2022, the outstanding balance of the VIE’s term loan was £21 million ($29 million). The Company has provided security in respect of the term loan by granting the lender a charge over its membership interest in the VIE. The security will remain in effect until the VIE’s term loan is repaid in full to the lender.

 

In January 2014, the Company committed to invest €10 million ($14 million) in Soho House Barcelona, for the entity to redevelop a property into Soho House Barcelona in Spain. As of January 1, 2017, the Company had advanced €10 million ($10 million) of its commitment, of which €5 million ($5 million) was in cash and €5 million ($5 million) was in the form of a convertible loan (which converted to shares on November 30, 2016). There was no further activity during the fiscal year ended December 30, 2018. The cash loan matured on September 30, 2019 and was converted into shares in December 2019. Following its redevelopment, the Company began operating the property in October 2016 and has agreed to meet certain performance targets in the first five years of operations. If unmet, the Company must cure any performance shortfall for a maximum exposure of €4.4 million ($5 million) in 2019 and adjusted for inflation every year thereafter.

 

On November 18, 2016, an existing mortgage loan over the Soho House Barcelona property was novated by the VIE to Banca March and extended to a total commitment of €18 million ($19 million). This loan was further extended to a total commitment of €39.5 million ($45 million) on March 21, 2019, and a portion of the proceeds was used to redeem an existing €18 million ($20 million) mezzanine facility from Orca Finance and Invest Ltd to Mirador Barcel S.L. The Banca March loan is secured by way of mortgage over Soho House Barcelona.

 

In June 2018, the Company issued a Letter of Guarantee, secured by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Hong Kong, in place of a cash deposit totaling HKD 40.6 million ($5 million) to the landlord of Soho House Hong Kong in connection with the lease of the property. Subject to certain criteria, the bank guarantee reduces annually to HKD 32.4 million ($4 million) on the first anniversary of the Letter of Guarantee and HKD 24.3 million ($3 million) on the second anniversary. In addition, in June 2018, Soho House (Hong Kong) Limited drew down $6.5 million pursuant to a loan agreement with Bright Success Investment Limited dated July 12, 2017 (as amended June 1, 2018 and March 7, 2019). In September 2021, the Company repaid in full amounts outstanding under the Soho House Hong Kong loan. For additional information, refer to Note 12, Debt.

 

Certain subsidiaries of the Company guarantee the obligations of Soho Restaurants Limited (and its subsidiaries) under eight property leases (the “Soho Restaurants Guarantees”) with respect to any required rental or other payments under these guaranteed leases. The Soho Restaurants Guarantees are historical lease guarantees that have remained in place following the spin out of Soho Restaurants Limited from the Company in December 2017. The lease guarantees are predominantly lease term guarantees. The maximum exposure under these guarantees is $1 million in any given year. While the Company incurred operational expenses supporting Soho

Restaurants Limited, prior to its consolidation of this entity, to date the Company has not made any guarantee payments nor has it become obligated to make any payments pursuant to any Soho Restaurants Guarantee.

 

The Company believes the likelihood of having to perform under the aforementioned operations performance and lease guarantees was remote as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021.

 

Capital Commitments

 

As of January 2, 2022, capital expenditure commitments contracted for but not yet incurred totaled less than $1 million and were related primarily to site improvement costs for Soho House West Hollywood Cecconi's. As of January 3, 2021, capital expenditure commitments contracted for but not yet incurred totaled $1 million and were related primarily to Soho House Hong Kong.

19.
Defined Contribution Plan

The Company operates a defined contribution pension plan, an occupational plan to which an individual and their employer make contributions. The assets of the plan are held separately from those of the Company in an independently administered fund. The plan charge amounted to $9 million, $11 million, and $10 million in the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019, respectively. There were no outstanding or prepaid contributions at either the beginning or end of the fiscal years presented in these consolidated financial statements.

The effective income tax rate for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019 differs from the US and UK statutory rate, as applicable, of 21%, 19%, and 19%, respectively. The difference for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021 are primarily due to current period losses in certain jurisdictions that require an additional valuation allowance.

As of January 2, 2022, deferred tax assets related to tax losses were $119 million and interest limitation carryforwards were $73 million which can be used to offset future taxable income. This includes $67 million of net operating losses, or "NOLs", and $23 million of interest limitation carryforwards in the US; $35 million tax losses and $50 million interest limitation carryforwards in the UK; $4 million tax losses in the Netherlands; and $10 million tax losses in Hong Kong.

 

Deferred tax assets related to NOLs generated in the US of $238 million will not expire. Deferred tax assets related to federal and state NOL carryforwards which were generated in the US of $69 million and $185 million will expire, if not utilized, in 2031 to 2038 and in 2027 to 2038, respectively. Interest limitation carryforwards in the US do not expire. Deferred tax assets related to tax losses and interest limitation carryforwards in the UK of $35 million and $50 million will not expire. Following a change in tax law in the 2021 period, deferred tax assets related to tax losses generated post 2013 in the Netherlands of $4 million will not expire. Deferred tax assets related to tax losses in Hong Kong of $10 million will not expire.

 

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has concluded that it is not more likely than not that the majority of the deferred tax assets can be realized and therefore a valuation allowance has been assigned to these deferred tax assets. If the Company is subsequently able to utilize all or a portion of the deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has been established, then it may be required to recognize these deferred tax assets through the reduction of the valuation allowance which could result in a material benefit to the results of operations in the period in which the benefit is determined.

 

During the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets increased by $43 million. This increase mainly relates to incremental valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets in the UK, US, Netherlands and Hong Kong arising in the period. The components of the increase in valuation allowance are $41 million as a result of current year activity, $17 million as a result of changes in tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, $16 million relating to the write-off of existing deferred tax assets, and $1 million as a result of the foreign exchange translation impact.

 

As of January 2, 2022, the Company had $104 million (January 3, 2021: $59 million), $54 million (January 3, 2021: $62 million), $4 million (January 3, 2021: $3 million), and $8 million (January 3, 2021: $6 million) in valuation allowances against the net UK, US, Dutch, and Hong Kong deferred tax assets, respectively.

 

A portion of the Company's US deferred tax assets relates to net operating losses, the use of which may not be available as a result of limitations under Section 382 of the US tax code. With respect to the US net operating losses, it is not practical to determine if such losses would be utilized based on Management's future projected taxable income.

 

The deferred tax liability for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021 relating to the investment in partnership was a result of Soho House US Corporation's 99.66% ownership of Soho House LLC, which was treated as a partnership for US tax purposes and which contained the majority of the Company's US operations. As of January 2, 2022, Soho House US Corporation owns 100% of Soho House LLC and, therefore, deferred taxes are no longer measured on the investment in the partnership. Instead, deferred taxes are measured on the inside basis of assets and liabilities within Soho House LLC.

 

As of January 2, 2022, the Company had no undistributed earnings on which to provide tax. In the event the Company's subsidiaries become profitable, any distributions will not be taxable due to the UK dividends received exemption regime.

 

Impact of Global Intangible Low Taxed Income Provisions (United States)

 

Due to the Reorganization Transactions described in Note 1, Nature of the Business, the Company is now subject to the US Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI) provisions which require US groups to include in taxable income certain earnings of their foreign controlled corporations. This provision did not impact the Company in the current year since these foreign controlled corporations generated an overall loss which has no impact on US taxable income. We have elected to treat any potential GILTI inclusions under the period cost.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

The Company recognizes tax liabilities when, despite its belief that its tax return positions are supportable, management believes that certain positions may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities. Each period the Company assesses uncertain tax positions for recognition, measurement and effective settlement. Benefits from uncertain tax positions are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement - the more likely than not recognition threshold. Where

the Company has determined that its tax return filing position does not satisfy the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company has recorded $16 million of tax benefits.

 

The ongoing assessments of the more-likely-than-not outcomes of uncertain tax positions require judgment and can increase or decrease the Company's effective tax rate, as well as impact its operating results. The specific timing of when the resolution of each tax position will be reached is uncertain. As of January 2, 2022, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that the uncertain tax benefits recorded as of January 2, 2022 will be reduced by $2 million as a result of expiry of the relevant statute of limitation in the UK.

 

In July 2021, the Company carried out a legal entity restructuring which resulted in the formation of Membership Collective Group Inc., a US domiciled corporation, as the parent entity of the Company. Prior to July 2021, the parent entity of the Company was a UK domiciled entity.

During the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019, the Company did not recognize any interest and penalties associated with its unrecognized tax benefits in its consolidated statements of operations. As of January 2, 2022, if recognized, $15 million of its unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, would have no impact on the Company’s effective tax rate as a full valuation allowance would be applied.

 

In the UK, US and Greece, the earliest tax years that remain subject to examination by the tax authorities are 2019, 2016, and 2017, respectively. To the extent US tax attributes generated in closed years are carried forward into years that are open to examination, they may be subject to adjustment in audit.

21.
Segments

 

The Company’s core operations comprise of Houses and restaurants across a number of territories, which are managed on a geographical basis. There is a segment managing director for each of the UK, North America, and Europe and Rest of the World (“RoW”) who is responsible for Houses, hotels and restaurants in that region. Each operating segment manager reports directly to the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and President combined. In addition to Houses and restaurants, the Company offers other products and services, such as retail, home & beauty products and services, which comprise its Retail operating segment; access to Soho Works collaboration spaces across the UK and North America, which comprise its Soho Works operating segment; and memberships for people who live in cities where physical Houses do not exist, which comprise its Cities Without Houses operating segment. The Retail, Soho Works, and Cities Without Houses operating segments also have segment managers which report directly to the CODM and are managed separately from the Houses and hotels in each region.

 

US GAAP establishes the standards for reporting information about segments in financial statements. In applying the criteria set forth in the accounting standards, we realigned our reportable segments for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022. As a result of this realignment, we now have the following three reportable segments:

UK,
North America, and
Europe and RoW.

 

The manner in which the CODM assesses information for decision-making purposes changed during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021. Soho House Design, which was previously a separate reportable segment, is no longer a separate operating segment or reportable segment since the CODM does not review discrete financial information for the business. In addition, Soho Restaurants, which was previously not a separate operating or reportable segment, became a separate operating segment since the CODM reviews discrete financial information for the business. The Company restated segment information for the historical periods presented herein to conform to the current presentation. This change in segment presentation does not affect the Company's consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows.

 

The Company analyzed the results of the Retail, Soho Works, Soho Restaurants, and Cities Without Houses operating segments and concluded that they did not warrant separate presentation as reportable segments as they do not provide additional useful information to the readers of the financial statements. Therefore, these segments are included as part of an “All Other” category.

 

Intercompany revenues and costs among the reportable segments are not material and accounted for as if the sales were to third parties because these items are based on negotiated fees between the segments involved. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Intercompany revenues and costs between entities within a reportable segment are eliminated to arrive at segment totals. Segment revenue includes revenue of certain equity method investments, which are considered standalone operating segments, which are therefore not included in revenues as part of these consolidated financial statements. Eliminations between segments are separately presented. Corporate results include amounts related to Corporate functions such as administrative costs and professional fees. Income tax expense is managed by Corporate on a consolidated basis and is not allocated to the reportable segments.

 

The Company manages and assesses the performance of the reportable segments by adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, adjusted to take account of the impact of certain non-cash and other items that the Company does not consider in its evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These other items include, but are not limited to, loss (gain) on sale of property and other, net, share of loss (profit) of equity method investments, foreign exchange, pre-opening expenses, non-cash rent, deferred registration fees, net, share of equity method investments adjusted EBITDA, share-based compensation expense and certain other expenses.

 

The following tables present disaggregated revenue for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019 and the key financial metrics reviewed by the CODM for the Company’s reportable segments:

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management concluded as of January 2, 2022 that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level, due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of January 2, 2022, due to insufficiently qualified accounting and other finance personnel with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience. Management believes that our lack of experience with U.S. GAAP and the fact that policies and procedures with respect to the review, supervision and monitoring of our accounting and reporting functions were either not designed and in place or not operating effectively constituted material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Until such time, if ever, that we remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting we expect that the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures will continue.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during fiscal 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and our management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting also are based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Redeemable Preferred Shares
12 Months Ended
Jan. 02, 2022
Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]  
Redeemable Preferred Shares Redeemable Preferred Shares

 

In May 2016, the Company issued 10,000,000, 7% SHHL redeemable preferred shares totaling £10 million ($15 million) to unrelated parties. These shares were redeemable by the holders upon an exit, such as an IPO, or sale of the Company and the cumulative dividends are only paid on redemption. As of January 3, 2021, redemption of the preferred shares was not probable. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company concluded that the shares were probable of becoming redeemable and, therefore, accreted the shares to their redemption value. The accretion of $5 million is reflected as a reduction in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated statements of changes in redeemable shares and shareholders’ equity (deficit). In addition, the Company remeasured the SHHL redeemable preferred shares and recognized a foreign currency translation gain of $1 million for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, which is reflected within accumulated deficit on the consolidated statements of changes in redeemable shares and shareholders’ equity (deficit). The Company redeemed these preferred shares for cash totaling $20 million in July 2021.

 

On March 31, 2021, the Company issued 12,970,766 senior convertible preference shares (the “Senior Preference Shares”) in an aggregate liquidation preference of $175 million, or approximately $13.49 per Senior Preference Share (the “Issuance Price”), to certain funds managed, sponsored or advised by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC or its affiliates (the “Preference Share Investors”). The Company received net proceeds of $162 million and incurred transaction costs of $13 million related to the Senior Preference Shares. The Senior Preference Shares accrue a non-cash dividend of 8% per annum on the investment amount of the Senior Preference Shares plus all previously compounded non-cash dividends. During the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, the Company recognized non-cash preferred dividends of $4 million as an adjustment to the carrying value of the Senior Preference Shares, with a corresponding reduction in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated statements of changes in redeemable shares and shareholders’ equity (deficit). In addition, the Company recognized a deemed dividend of $51 million in connection with the conversion of the Senior Preference Shares into Class A common stock, because the conversion was effected at a discount to the public offering price. This deemed dividend is reflected as a reduction in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated statements of changes in redeemable preferred shares and shareholders' equity (deficit).

 

On July 19, 2021, all of the outstanding Senior Preference Shares were converted into an aggregate of 15,526,619 shares of Class A common stock of MCG immediately upon the closing of the IPO (as described in Note 1, Nature of the Business).

SHHL C Ordinary Shares

Temporary Equity Disclosure [Abstract]  
SHHL C Ordinary Shares

SHHL C Ordinary Shares

 

On August 23, 2019, the Company issued 4,276,347 SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares to an unrelated third party for a total subscription price of $45 million. On the same date, the new investor purchased 475,150 SHHL A ordinary shares directly from Mr. Nick Jones for $5 million; these shares were immediately converted into an equal number of SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares. On November 4, 2019, the Company issued an additional 2,181,507 shares to the same investor for $20 million, resulting in a total of 6,933,004 SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of December 29, 2019. The Company received net proceeds of $63 million and incurred $5 million of share issuance costs in connection with these transactions.

 

On May 19, 2020, the Company issued an additional 9,502,993 SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares to a different unrelated third party for a total subscription price of $100 million, net of discount of $6 million. The Company received net proceeds of $94 million

and incurred $1 million of share issuance costs in connection with this issuance. As a result, the Company had 16,435,997 SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of January 3, 2021. The Company recorded the SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares as mezzanine equity as a result of the redemption provision described below.

 

Upon meeting certain conditions, the holders of the SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares described above had the option to redeem all of the shares between October 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024 with respect to the shares issued in August 2019 or between August 23, 2023 and February 23, 2024 with respect to the shares issued in May 2020, provided that the Company had not completed a public listing of its shares prior to the beginning of the respective redemption period. The redemption amount would be determined using a 5% stated rate of return on the holders’ aggregate subscription price, calculated for the period between August 23, 2019 (or May 19, 2020 for the subsequent issuance) and the redemption date. As of January 3, 2021, redemption of the SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares was not probable and, therefore, the Company recorded the shares at their original issuance price and has not accreted the shares to their redemption value.

 

An investor option was provided in conjunction with the SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares issued on May 19, 2020. In March 2021, the investor option was exercised for the full $50 million, net of a discount of $3 million, and the Company issued an additional 4,751,497 SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares. The Company received net proceeds of $47 million and did not incur any material share issuance costs in connection with this issuance. As a result, the Company had 21,187,494 SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the IPO. Redemption of these SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares was not probable as of any period preceding the IPO.

 

On December 8, 2020, Mr. Nick Jones sold certain of his SHHL A ordinary shares to an unrelated third party and as a condition of the transaction, the A ordinary shares were converted into 1,710,546 SHHL C ordinary shares. Unlike the previously issued SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares described above, the investor does not have the right to redeem these converted SHHL C ordinary shares. Therefore, 1,710,546 of the total 18,146,543 SHHL C ordinary shares outstanding as of January 3, 2021 were classified as permanent equity instead of mezzanine equity.

 

On July 19, 2021, all of the outstanding SHHL C ordinary shares were exchanged into an aggregate of 6,592,023 shares of Class A common stock and 10,871,215 shares of Class B common stock of MCG in connection with the Reorganization Transactions (as described in Note 1, Nature of the Business).

Prior to the IPO, SHHL had five classes of ordinary shares: A ordinary shares , B ordinary shares, C ordinary shares (a portion of which had certain redemption rights), C2 ordinary shares and D ordinary shares.

 

Holders of SHHL A ordinary shares (par value of £1) were entitled to one vote for each A ordinary share held. Each A ordinary shareholder was entitled pari passu to dividend payments or any other distributions.

 

In January 2012, the Company issued 4,469,417 of SHHL B ordinary shares with par value of £0.0001, which had no voting rights. These shares vested annually in equal installments over a period of five years, and all shares became vested on January 12, 2017. SHHL B ordinary shareholders were entitled to income rights in proportion to the SHHL A ordinary shareholders based on the number of shares held only after £167 million ($228 million, translated using the exchange rate on January 3, 2021) had been returned in aggregate to the holders of SHHL A ordinary shares, the SHHL C ordinary shares and the SHHL C2 ordinary shares.

 

As described in Note 16, SHHL C Ordinary Shares, in August and November 2019, the Company issued 6,933,004 SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares (par value of £1) to the same unrelated third party in two separate transactions. The Company issued an additional 9,502,993 SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares (par value of £1) to a separate unrelated third party in May 2020. The holders of SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares were entitled to one vote for each share held. In addition, so long as certain conditions were met, each of the investors was entitled to appoint one non-executive director and one non-voting observer director to the Company’s board and also had certain veto rights with respect to a sale of the Company prior to August 23, 2024. All SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares were entitled to dividend payments or any other distributions on a pari passu basis with other classes of SHHL ordinary shares. Upon a public listing of the Company’s shares, the SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares would convert into the same class of shares as the SHHL A ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis, subject to certain anti-dilution protection, whereby the holders of the SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares would receive additional shares if the value of the as-converted SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares was less than the investors’ initial subscription price.

 

Separate from the SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares discussed above, in December 2020, the Company converted 1,710,546 SHHL A ordinary shares into 1,710,546 SHHL C ordinary shares which were not redeemable by the Company. These SHHL C ordinary shares did not have any voting or veto rights. The shares were entitled to dividend payments or any other distributions on a pari passu basis with other classes of SHHL ordinary shares. Upon a public listing of the Company’s shares, the SHHL C ordinary shares would convert into the same class of shares as the SHHL A ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis, subject to certain anti-dilution protection, whereby the holders of the SHHL C ordinary shares would receive additional shares if the value of the as-converted SHHL C ordinary shares was less than the investors’ initial purchase price.

 

In December 2019, the Company issued 3,326,048 of non-voting SHHL C2 ordinary shares with par value of £1 to an unrelated third party. The Company incurred $1 million of share issuance costs in connection with this transaction. The SHHL C2 ordinary shares were entitled to dividend payments or any other distributions on a pari passu basis with other classes of SHHL ordinary shares.

 

In August 2020, the Company established the 2020 Plan, under which employees received SHHL SARs and SHHL Growth Shares which would be settled in SHHL D ordinary shares (par value of £0.0001). As of January 3, 2021, there are 2,850,897 SHHL D ordinary shares issued and outstanding. The SHHL D ordinary shares did not have any voting rights. SHHL D ordinary shareholders were entitled to income and distribution rights in proportion to the SHHL A ordinary, B ordinary, C ordinary and C2 ordinary shareholders based on the number of shares held only after $1,800 million had been returned to the holders of all other classes of SHHL ordinary shares.

 

Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, affiliates of The Yucaipa Companies, LLC, and Messrs. Ron Burkle, Nick Jones, and Richard Caring exchanged their SHHL A ordinary shares, SHHL B ordinary shares, SHHL C ordinary shares and SHHL D ordinary shares for 141,500,385 shares of Class B common stock of MCG having an equivalent value, while the other ordinary shareholders of SHHL exchanged their equity interests for 14,935,193 shares of Class A common stock of MCG having an equivalent value.

The net loss attributable to the Company in calculating basic and diluted loss per share for all periods presented is adjusted for cumulative undeclared dividends on the May 2016 preferred shares. In addition, the net loss attributable to the Company in calculating basic and diluted loss per share for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022 is adjusted for non-cash dividends on the Senior Preference Shares and the impact of the deemed dividend to the holders of Senior Preference Shares upon their conversion into MCG Class A common stock.

 

The loss per share calculations for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021 exclude additional shares that would be issuable to the holders of SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares in the event of a public listing that resulted in the value of the SHHL redeemable C ordinary shares being less than the investor’s initial subscription price, because the impact of including such additional shares would be anti-dilutive. In addition, the loss per share calculations for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021 exclude the impact of unvested Growth Shares (which were exchanged into restricted stock awards in connection with the IPO) because the inclusion of such shares in diluted loss per share would be anti-dilutive.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation Matters

 

The Company is not a party to any litigation other than litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management and legal counsel do not expect that the ultimate outcome of any of its currently ongoing legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

In connection with the closure of Houses across the world beginning on March 14, 2020, the Company in its sole discretion issued membership credits to Soho House members to be redeemed for certain Soho House products and services. Membership credits were issued by the Company as a one-time goodwill gesture deemed to be a marketing offer to Soho House members, and were initially set to expire on December 31, 2020. The liability associated with the membership credits is derecognized based on the usage of credits and the cost of the inventory or services to fulfill the Company’s obligation to its Soho House members; this liability is classified within other current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. In December 2020, the Company made the decision in its sole discretion to extend the expiration date to June 30, 2021 as a result of the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in a significant number of the Houses remaining closed or operating at a reduced capacity for longer periods than the Company originally expected. In March 2021, the Company decided in its sole discretion to further extend the expiration date to September 30, 2021. The Company simultaneously adjusted its obligation based on its best estimate of the cost to be incurred. The redemption rate used to estimate the obligation associated with the membership credits was based on the Company’s cumulative

experience to-date. Accordingly, an estimated liability of $12 million was accrued as of January 3, 2021. There were associated marketing expenses of $8 million and $12 million during the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, respectively, which are included within other expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The expense recognized during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022 is net of $4 million recorded upon expiration of the vast majority of credits on September 30, 2021.

 

On December 7, 2017, 139 Ludlow Acquisition LLC entered into a loan agreement with Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC. The borrower is a joint venture owned in equal thirds by Soho 139 Holdco, LLC (an entity controlled by the Company) and its two partners. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the lender advanced $33.5 million, the bulk of which proceeds were used to extinguish and refinance the borrower’s previous mortgage loan with Centennial Bank. The loan is secured with a first priority mortgage and security interest on the real property known as 139 Ludlow Street, New York (including an assignment of leases and rents and other customary mortgage documents). The loan is generally “non-recourse”, but subject to standard “carve-outs” for which US AcquireCo, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and its joint venture partners (the “Guarantors”) provided a guarantee of recourse obligations, pursuant to which such Guarantors are jointly and severally obligated to pay (without any cap or limit) the amounts of any actual loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by the lender.

 

In August 2014, the Company entered into a security arrangement with regards to Raycliff Red LLP’s (a VIE’s) £4 million ($7 million) bank loan to redevelop a property into an overflow location for Shoreditch House hotel rooms in the United Kingdom. In May 2016, the VIE extended the existing loan to £10 million ($15 million) to, inter alia, purchase an adjoining property that was redeveloped as an overflow location for Shoreditch House hotel rooms. In May 2017, the VIE extended the existing loan to £20 million ($26 million). In July 2018, the facility was extended by a further £0.4 million ($0.5 million). The Company has provided security in respect of the loan by granting the lender a charge over its membership interest in the VIE. The security will remain in effect until the VIE’s bank loan is repaid in full to the lender. In October 2019, the VIE entered into a term loan facility agreement with a new lender, the proceeds of which were used to repay the previous bank loan. As of January 2, 2022, the outstanding balance of the VIE’s term loan was £21 million ($29 million). The Company has provided security in respect of the term loan by granting the lender a charge over its membership interest in the VIE. The security will remain in effect until the VIE’s term loan is repaid in full to the lender.

 

In January 2014, the Company committed to invest €10 million ($14 million) in Soho House Barcelona, for the entity to redevelop a property into Soho House Barcelona in Spain. As of January 1, 2017, the Company had advanced €10 million ($10 million) of its commitment, of which €5 million ($5 million) was in cash and €5 million ($5 million) was in the form of a convertible loan (which converted to shares on November 30, 2016). There was no further activity during the fiscal year ended December 30, 2018. The cash loan matured on September 30, 2019 and was converted into shares in December 2019. Following its redevelopment, the Company began operating the property in October 2016 and has agreed to meet certain performance targets in the first five years of operations. If unmet, the Company must cure any performance shortfall for a maximum exposure of €4.4 million ($5 million) in 2019 and adjusted for inflation every year thereafter.

 

On November 18, 2016, an existing mortgage loan over the Soho House Barcelona property was novated by the VIE to Banca March and extended to a total commitment of €18 million ($19 million). This loan was further extended to a total commitment of €39.5 million ($45 million) on March 21, 2019, and a portion of the proceeds was used to redeem an existing €18 million ($20 million) mezzanine facility from Orca Finance and Invest Ltd to Mirador Barcel S.L. The Banca March loan is secured by way of mortgage over Soho House Barcelona.

 

In June 2018, the Company issued a Letter of Guarantee, secured by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Hong Kong, in place of a cash deposit totaling HKD 40.6 million ($5 million) to the landlord of Soho House Hong Kong in connection with the lease of the property. Subject to certain criteria, the bank guarantee reduces annually to HKD 32.4 million ($4 million) on the first anniversary of the Letter of Guarantee and HKD 24.3 million ($3 million) on the second anniversary. In addition, in June 2018, Soho House (Hong Kong) Limited drew down $6.5 million pursuant to a loan agreement with Bright Success Investment Limited dated July 12, 2017 (as amended June 1, 2018 and March 7, 2019). In September 2021, the Company repaid in full amounts outstanding under the Soho House Hong Kong loan. For additional information, refer to Note 12, Debt.

 

Certain subsidiaries of the Company guarantee the obligations of Soho Restaurants Limited (and its subsidiaries) under eight property leases (the “Soho Restaurants Guarantees”) with respect to any required rental or other payments under these guaranteed leases. The Soho Restaurants Guarantees are historical lease guarantees that have remained in place following the spin out of Soho Restaurants Limited from the Company in December 2017. The lease guarantees are predominantly lease term guarantees. The maximum exposure under these guarantees is $1 million in any given year. While the Company incurred operational expenses supporting Soho

Restaurants Limited, prior to its consolidation of this entity, to date the Company has not made any guarantee payments nor has it become obligated to make any payments pursuant to any Soho Restaurants Guarantee.

 

The Company believes the likelihood of having to perform under the aforementioned operations performance and lease guarantees was remote as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021.

 

Capital Commitments

 

As of January 2, 2022, capital expenditure commitments contracted for but not yet incurred totaled less than $1 million and were related primarily to site improvement costs for Soho House West Hollywood Cecconi's. As of January 3, 2021, capital expenditure commitments contracted for but not yet incurred totaled $1 million and were related primarily to Soho House Hong Kong.

The difference for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021 are primarily due to current period losses in certain jurisdictions that require an additional valuation allowance.

As of January 2, 2022, deferred tax assets related to tax losses were $119 million and interest limitation carryforwards were $73 million which can be used to offset future taxable income. This includes $67 million of net operating losses, or "NOLs", and $23 million of interest limitation carryforwards in the US; $35 million tax losses and $50 million interest limitation carryforwards in the UK; $4 million tax losses in the Netherlands; and $10 million tax losses in Hong Kong.

 

Deferred tax assets related to NOLs generated in the US of $238 million will not expire. Deferred tax assets related to federal and state NOL carryforwards which were generated in the US of $69 million and $185 million will expire, if not utilized, in 2031 to 2038 and in 2027 to 2038, respectively. Interest limitation carryforwards in the US do not expire. Deferred tax assets related to tax losses and interest limitation carryforwards in the UK of $35 million and $50 million will not expire. Following a change in tax law in the 2021 period, deferred tax assets related to tax losses generated post 2013 in the Netherlands of $4 million will not expire. Deferred tax assets related to tax losses in Hong Kong of $10 million will not expire.

 

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has concluded that it is not more likely than not that the majority of the deferred tax assets can be realized and therefore a valuation allowance has been assigned to these deferred tax assets. If the Company is subsequently able to utilize all or a portion of the deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has been established, then it may be required to recognize these deferred tax assets through the reduction of the valuation allowance which could result in a material benefit to the results of operations in the period in which the benefit is determined.

 

During the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets increased by $43 million. This increase mainly relates to incremental valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets in the UK, US, Netherlands and Hong Kong arising in the period. The components of the increase in valuation allowance are $41 million as a result of current year activity, $17 million as a result of changes in tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, $16 million relating to the write-off of existing deferred tax assets, and $1 million as a result of the foreign exchange translation impact.

 

As of January 2, 2022, the Company had $104 million (January 3, 2021: $59 million), $54 million (January 3, 2021: $62 million), $4 million (January 3, 2021: $3 million), and $8 million (January 3, 2021: $6 million) in valuation allowances against the net UK, US, Dutch, and Hong Kong deferred tax assets, respectively.

 

A portion of the Company's US deferred tax assets relates to net operating losses, the use of which may not be available as a result of limitations under Section 382 of the US tax code. With respect to the US net operating losses, it is not practical to determine if such losses would be utilized based on Management's future projected taxable income.

 

The deferred tax liability for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021 relating to the investment in partnership was a result of Soho House US Corporation's 99.66% ownership of Soho House LLC, which was treated as a partnership for US tax purposes and which contained the majority of the Company's US operations. As of January 2, 2022, Soho House US Corporation owns 100% of Soho House LLC and, therefore, deferred taxes are no longer measured on the investment in the partnership. Instead, deferred taxes are measured on the inside basis of assets and liabilities within Soho House LLC.

 

As of January 2, 2022, the Company had no undistributed earnings on which to provide tax. In the event the Company's subsidiaries become profitable, any distributions will not be taxable due to the UK dividends received exemption regime.

 

Impact of Global Intangible Low Taxed Income Provisions (United States)

 

Due to the Reorganization Transactions described in Note 1, Nature of the Business, the Company is now subject to the US Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI) provisions which require US groups to include in taxable income certain earnings of their foreign controlled corporations. This provision did not impact the Company in the current year since these foreign controlled corporations generated an overall loss which has no impact on US taxable income. We have elected to treat any potential GILTI inclusions under the period cost.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

The Company recognizes tax liabilities when, despite its belief that its tax return positions are supportable, management believes that certain positions may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities. Each period the Company assesses uncertain tax positions for recognition, measurement and effective settlement. Benefits from uncertain tax positions are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement - the more likely than not recognition threshold. Where

the Company has determined that its tax return filing position does not satisfy the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company has recorded $16 million of tax benefits.

 

The ongoing assessments of the more-likely-than-not outcomes of uncertain tax positions require judgment and can increase or decrease the Company's effective tax rate, as well as impact its operating results. The specific timing of when the resolution of each tax position will be reached is uncertain. As of January 2, 2022, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that the uncertain tax benefits recorded as of January 2, 2022 will be reduced by $2 million as a result of expiry of the relevant statute of limitation in the UK.

 

In July 2021, the Company carried out a legal entity restructuring which resulted in the formation of Membership Collective Group Inc., a US domiciled corporation, as the parent entity of the Company. Prior to July 2021, the parent entity of the Company was a UK domiciled entity.

During the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019, the Company did not recognize any interest and penalties associated with its unrecognized tax benefits in its consolidated statements of operations. As of January 2, 2022, if recognized, $15 million of its unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, would have no impact on the Company’s effective tax rate as a full valuation allowance would be applied.

 

In the UK, US and Greece, the earliest tax years that remain subject to examination by the tax authorities are 2019, 2016, and 2017, respectively. To the extent US tax attributes generated in closed years are carried forward into years that are open to examination, they may be subject to adjustment in audit.

Segments

 

The Company’s core operations comprise of Houses and restaurants across a number of territories, which are managed on a geographical basis. There is a segment managing director for each of the UK, North America, and Europe and Rest of the World (“RoW”) who is responsible for Houses, hotels and restaurants in that region. Each operating segment manager reports directly to the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and President combined. In addition to Houses and restaurants, the Company offers other products and services, such as retail, home & beauty products and services, which comprise its Retail operating segment; access to Soho Works collaboration spaces across the UK and North America, which comprise its Soho Works operating segment; and memberships for people who live in cities where physical Houses do not exist, which comprise its Cities Without Houses operating segment. The Retail, Soho Works, and Cities Without Houses operating segments also have segment managers which report directly to the CODM and are managed separately from the Houses and hotels in each region.

 

US GAAP establishes the standards for reporting information about segments in financial statements. In applying the criteria set forth in the accounting standards, we realigned our reportable segments for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022. As a result of this realignment, we now have the following three reportable segments:

UK,
North America, and
Europe and RoW.

 

The manner in which the CODM assesses information for decision-making purposes changed during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021. Soho House Design, which was previously a separate reportable segment, is no longer a separate operating segment or reportable segment since the CODM does not review discrete financial information for the business. In addition, Soho Restaurants, which was previously not a separate operating or reportable segment, became a separate operating segment since the CODM reviews discrete financial information for the business. The Company restated segment information for the historical periods presented herein to conform to the current presentation. This change in segment presentation does not affect the Company's consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows.

 

The Company analyzed the results of the Retail, Soho Works, Soho Restaurants, and Cities Without Houses operating segments and concluded that they did not warrant separate presentation as reportable segments as they do not provide additional useful information to the readers of the financial statements. Therefore, these segments are included as part of an “All Other” category.

 

Intercompany revenues and costs among the reportable segments are not material and accounted for as if the sales were to third parties because these items are based on negotiated fees between the segments involved. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Intercompany revenues and costs between entities within a reportable segment are eliminated to arrive at segment totals. Segment revenue includes revenue of certain equity method investments, which are considered standalone operating segments, which are therefore not included in revenues as part of these consolidated financial statements. Eliminations between segments are separately presented. Corporate results include amounts related to Corporate functions such as administrative costs and professional fees. Income tax expense is managed by Corporate on a consolidated basis and is not allocated to the reportable segments.

 

The Company manages and assesses the performance of the reportable segments by adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, adjusted to take account of the impact of certain non-cash and other items that the Company does not consider in its evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These other items include, but are not limited to, loss (gain) on sale of property and other, net, share of loss (profit) of equity method investments, foreign exchange, pre-opening expenses, non-cash rent, deferred registration fees, net, share of equity method investments adjusted EBITDA, share-based compensation expense and certain other expenses.

 

The following tables present disaggregated revenue for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019 and the key financial metrics reviewed by the CODM for the Company’s reportable segments:

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The Company's significant estimates relate to the valuation of financial instruments, equity method investments, the measurement of

goodwill and intangible assets, contingent liabilities, income taxes, leases, long-lived assets and the period over which revenue from one-time member registration fees is recognized. Although the estimates have been prepared using management's best judgment and management believes that the estimates used are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

 

We operate on a fiscal year calendar consisting of a 52-or 53-week period ending on the last Sunday in December or the first Sunday in January of the next calendar year. In a 52-week fiscal year, each quarter contains 13 weeks of operations; in a 53-week fiscal year, each of the first, second and third quarters includes 13 weeks of operations and the fourth quarter includes 14 weeks of operations.

 

Our 2019 fiscal year ended on December 29, 2019 ("Fiscal 2019"), our 2020 fiscal year ended on January 3, 2021 ("Fiscal 2020"), and our 2021 fiscal year ended on January 2, 2022 ("Fiscal 2021"). Fiscal 2019 was a 52-week year, Fiscal 2020 was a 53-week year, and Fiscal 2021 was a 52-week year.

 

The consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022 includes the correction of an error related to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019. The error relates to the correction of a consolidating adjustment for foreign currency transaction gains of $13 million in the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021 and $4 million in the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019. The correction of this error is presented within other in the consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022 and within foreign currency translation adjustment in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022.

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no impact on previously reported net loss or cash flows, and no material impact on financial position.

Going Concern

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation for at least a period of 12 months after the date these financial statements are issued, and contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

We have experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities over the past years as we develop our Houses. During the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, the Company incurred a consolidated net loss of $269 million. During the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, the Company had negative cash flow from operations of $127 million. As of January 2, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit balance of $1,022 million. As of January 2, 2022, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $213 million, and a restricted cash balance of $8 million.

 

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to significantly impact our business and we have had to temporarily close some or all of our Houses, hotels and public restaurants, at different times due to the ongoing effects of the pandemic, which has and will continue to have an impact on our revenues. At the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, our Houses are open where possible.

 

In assessing the going concern basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, we have taken into consideration detailed cash flow forecasts for the Company, the Company’s forecast compliance with bank covenants, and the continued availability of committed and accessible working capital to the Company.

 

We have considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and the resultant global economic uncertainties and have undertaken a re-assessment of the cash flow forecasts covering a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued. Cash flow forecasts have been prepared based on a range of scenarios including, but not limited to, no further debt or equity funding, the timing of a full re-opening of our Houses staggered and/or deferred to the end of the calendar year, cost reductions, both limited and extensive, and a combination of these different scenarios. We have assessed the sensitivity analysis on cash flows, and in order to finance these cash flow forecasts, we have completed a series of positive financing events during Fiscal 2021, including issuance of new senior secured notes in an aggregate amount equal to $295 million, €62 million ($73 million) and £53 million ($73 million), issuance of $175 million of senior convertible preference shares, and completion of our IPO for net proceeds of $388 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering costs (including net proceeds from the partial exercise of the overallotment option). The senior secured notes include an option (which expires on March 31, 2022) for the Company to issue additional notes in an aggregate amount of up to $100 million on or prior to March 31, 2022. The Company exercised this option on

March 9, 2022; see Note 23, Subsequent Events. The proceeds from the senior secured notes and senior convertible preference shares have been used to repay all amounts outstanding under the Permira Senior Facility and the US government-backed bank loan. The proceeds from the IPO were used to repay the outstanding principal balance of our revolving credit facility of $98 million, which remains in place as a source of additional liquidity if required, and to pay the redemption price of outstanding redeemable preferred shares, with the remainder to be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs. See Note 12, Debt, and Note 15, SHHL Redeemable Preferred Shares, for additional information.

 

We believe that the completed working capital events, our projected cash flows and the actions available to management to further control expenditure, as necessary, provide the Company with sufficient working capital (including cash and cash equivalents) to achieve its plans to recover from the impact of the pandemic, subject to the following key factors:

the continued access to Houses in a manner that is compliant with local laws and regulations, including the relaxing of mandatory capacity constraints, as well as anticipated demand;
the level of in-House sales activity (primarily sales of food and beverage) that, even after opening, may be subject to reduced capacity as a result of any on-going restrictions;
the continued high level of membership retention and renewals (which has been evidenced throughout the pandemic); and
the implementation of cost reduction measures that are aligned with the anticipated levels of capacity.

 

While the impact of lockdowns and other restrictions may re-occur beyond current expectations and impact the Company’s ability to keep open Houses and return to a level of operation consistent with pre COVID-19 within the timeframes assumed in management’s detailed cash flow forecasts, we believe that the Company has sufficient financial resources together with an established and cash generative business model, and access to capital.

 

Based on the available cash as a result of completed financing events discussed above, and the measures that have been put in place to control costs, we believe that the Company is able to continue in operational existence, meet its liabilities as they fall due, operate within its existing facilities, and meet all of its covenant requirements for a period of at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued.

 

Based on the above, the consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, we continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Membership Collective Group Inc. and its subsidiaries, as well as certain consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary (see Note 4, Consolidated Variable Interest Entities). Other parties’ interests in entities that the Company consolidates are reported as noncontrolling interests within shareholders’ deficit. Net loss and each component of other comprehensive (loss) income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to any noncontrolling interests. All intra-company assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Equity Method Investments

Equity Method Investments

 

The Company’s equity method investments consist of investments in which the Company does not control the investee but can exert significant influence over the financial and operating policies, as well as joint ventures where there is joint control (and in both cases if the investee is a VIE, where the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE). The ability to exert significant influence is generally considered to exist when the Company owns between 20% and 50% of voting equity securities of the investee, in the case of corporate entities.

 

When the Company sells an interest in a subsidiary which then becomes an equity method investment, the retained interest is remeasured at fair value.

 

Investments are initially recognized at cost when purchased for cash, or at the fair value of shares received when acquired. The investments are subsequently carried at cost adjusted for the Company’s share of net income or loss and other changes in

comprehensive income (loss) of the joint venture, less any dividends or distributions received by the Company. The investments are presented as equity method investments in the consolidated balance sheets. Income or loss from these investments is recorded as a separate line item in the consolidated statements of operations. Intercompany profits or losses associated with the Company’s equity method investments are eliminated until realized by the investee in transactions with third parties. Where distributions from equity-method investees and the Company’s share of investee losses are in excess of the carrying amount of the investment (including, where applicable, advances made by the Company to the investee), after the Company’s equity-method investment balance is reduced to zero, additional losses are recognized to the extent that the Company has guaranteed the investee’s obligations or has otherwise incurred legal or constructive obligations or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

 

The Company considers whether its equity method investments are impaired when events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for a decline in value that is determined to be other-than-temporary. Once a determination is made that an other-than-temporary impairment exists, the investment is written down to its fair value. There were no other-than-temporary impairments recorded during the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019.

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities

 

The Company analyzes its variable interests, including loans, guarantees, and equity investments, to determine if the entity in which the Company has a variable interest is a VIE. For those entities determined to be VIEs a quantitative and qualitative analysis is performed to determine if the Company will be deemed the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is defined as the variable interest holder that has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. A controlling financial interest is defined as one that has i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

 

In evaluating whether the Company has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance, the Company bases its qualitative analysis on its review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and the relevant development, ownership interest, operating, management and financial agreements. This evaluation requires consideration of all facts and circumstances relevant to decision-making that affect the entity’s future performance and the exercise of professional judgment in deciding which decision-making rights are most important.

 

The Company consolidates those entities in which it is determined to be the primary beneficiary. If the Company is not determined to be the primary beneficiary but can exercise significant influence over these entities, these investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of loss from amounts owed by customers and financial counterparties. Credit risk can occur at multiple levels; as a result of broad economic conditions, challenges within specific sectors of the economy, or from issues affecting individual companies. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and other receivables.

 

The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash with major financial institutions. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash consist of bank deposits held with banks that, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company limits its credit risk by dealing with counterparties that are considered to be of high credit quality.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and all highly liquid investments with original maturities, when purchased, of three months or less.

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash represents cash that is not available to the Company due to restrictions related to its use. As of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, restricted cash related primarily to balances with the Company’s payments service provider, financing arrangements for the Soho Beach House in Miami, and security deposits.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable include amounts due from customers in connection with the Company’s in-house building service whereby the Company extends credit, generally without requiring collateral, based on its evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. Accounts receivable also include amounts due from customers, guests and members relating to services rendered. Any allowance for doubtful accounts includes management’s estimate of the amounts expected to be uncollectible on specific accounts receivable, taking into account the creditworthiness of the counterparty, the aging of the outstanding balance, and historical recoverability patterns. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $3 million as of January 2, 2022 and $3 million as of January 3, 2021.

 

While the Company has a concentration of credit risk in relation to certain customers, this risk is mitigated by payments on account and credit checks on customers. Typically, accounts receivable have terms ranging from 0-60 days and do not bear interest. As of January 2, 2022, there were two customers which individually accounted for more than 10% of trade receivables (16% and 10%); there were no customers which individually accounted for more than 10% of revenue during the fiscal year then ended. As of January 3, 2021, there was one customer which individually accounted for more than 10% of trade receivables (13%); there were no customers which individually accounted for more than 10% of revenue during the fiscal year then ended.

Inventories

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value and cost is determined using a weighted-average cost method. Inventories consist of raw materials, service stock and supplies (primarily food and beverage), and finished goods which are externally sourced. Raw materials and service stock and supplies totaled $8 million and $8 million as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, respectively. Finished goods totaled $22 million and $15 million as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, respectively. The Company records a reserve for obsolete or unusable inventory, where applicable. The reserve was zero and less than $1 million as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment relate to buildings for owned Houses, leasehold improvements for leased Houses, fixtures and fittings and other office equipment. Property and equipment are recorded at cost, or if acquired in a business combination, at fair value as of the acquisition date, less accumulated depreciation. Costs of improvements that extend the economic life or improve service potential are capitalized. Capitalized costs are depreciated over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Costs for normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The carrying amounts of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated in the year of disposal, with resulting gains or losses included in (gain) loss on sale of property and other, net.

 

Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which are generally as follows:

 

Buildings

50-100 years

Leasehold improvements

Lesser of useful life or remaining lease term

Fixtures and fittings

2-5 years

Office equipment and other

2-4 years

Finance lease property

Reasonably assured lease term

 

Depreciation expense is included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Assets under construction relate mainly to the build out of future Houses, are stated at cost and depreciation begins when the asset is placed in service. For property under construction, the Company capitalizes all specifically identifiable costs related to development

activities, as well as interest costs incurred while activities necessary to get the property ready for its intended use are in progress. During the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, the capitalized interest was immaterial. During the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019, the Company capitalized interest totaling $4 million.

 

Impairment of Property and Equipment

 

The Company reviews its property and equipment for impairment indicators at each reporting date. Impairment losses are required to be recorded for long-lived assets to be held and used by the Company when indicators of impairment are present and the carrying value of the assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets. When an asset group to be held and used by the Company is determined to be impaired, the related carrying amount of the asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of (i) the carrying amount of assets to (ii) the future undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate over their remaining lives. If the carrying amount of the assets is not recoverable, the amount of impairment, if any, is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired assets. If the Company determines that the remaining useful life is shorter than originally estimated, it amortizes the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful life. No impairment losses were recorded during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022. Impairment losses were less than $1 million during each of the fiscal years ended January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019.

Business Combinations

Business Combinations

 

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the Company to the sellers and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the total consideration transferred, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the consideration transferred is less than the fair value of the net assets of the acquiree, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of operations as a gain. During the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. See Note 3, Acquisitions, for additional information.

 

Transactions between entities under common control are excluded from the scope of the business combinations guidance. The Company accounts for transfers of assets, net assets or equity interests between entities under common control prospectively at their carrying values.

Intangible Assets with Finite Useful Lives

Intangible Assets with Finite Useful Lives

 

The Company has certain finite lived intangible assets that were initially recorded at their fair values. These intangible assets consist primarily of brand names, membership lists, hotel management agreements, internally developed software and trademarks. Intangible assets with finite useful lives, which have a weighted-average life of 18 years, are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

 

All finite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable; for example, when there are material adverse changes in projected revenues or expenses, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected operating results, or significant negative industry or economic trends. The Company evaluates recoverability of a finite lived intangible asset by comparing its carrying value to its estimated fair value, which is determined through the income approach, the market approach or another appropriate method based on the circumstances. If a finite lived intangible asset’s estimated current fair value is less than its respective carrying value, the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

During Fiscal 2020, House closures and uncertainties surrounding re-opening procedures associated with the COVID-19 pandemic constituted a triggering event for testing whether intangible assets were impaired. The Company performed a quantitative assessment as of the first quarter of Fiscal 2020. No impairment losses were recorded during the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019.

 

Costs incurred during the application development stage for internal-use software are capitalized. Capitalized website development costs and internal-use software costs are amortized using the straight-line amortization method over the estimated useful life of the applicable software.

Goodwill

Goodwill

 

In January 2012, affiliates of the Yucaipa Companies, LLC acquired 58.9% of the outstanding equity interests of the entity which subsequently became Soho House Holdings Limited through a series of transactions. The Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which resulted in a new basis for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the recognition of goodwill. In addition, the Company recognized goodwill as a result of the acquisition of a business in Mykonos, Greece during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019, as well as the acquisition of a controlling interest in Soho House—Cipura (Miami), LLC ("Cipura") and the companies that together operate existing and future "The LINE" and "Saguaro" hotels in the United States during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022. See Note 3, Acquisitions, for additional information.

 

Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment annually. The Company assesses goodwill for potential impairment on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter, or during the year if an event or other circumstances indicate that the Company may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the net assets of the reporting unit. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below the operating segment level, which is referred to as a component. The Company identifies its reporting units by assessing whether components (i) have discrete financial information available; (ii) engage in business activities; and (iii) have a segment manager who regularly reviews the component’s operating results. Net assets and goodwill of acquired businesses are allocated to the reporting unit(s) associated with the acquired business based on the anticipated organizational structure of the combined entities. If two or more components are deemed economically similar, those components are aggregated into one reporting unit when performing the annual goodwill impairment review. As of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, the Company had seven and five reporting units with a goodwill balance, respectively.

 

In evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Qualitative factors that the Company considers include, for example, macroeconomic and industry conditions, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity-specific events. If the Company bypasses the qualitative assessment or concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment that will be recognized, if any.

 

When performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test, the Company compares the estimated fair value of each of its reporting units with their respective carrying values. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. If, however, the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over its fair value is recognized as a goodwill impairment. When performing a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment, the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is calculated using the income approach and the market approach. For the income approach, the Company uses internally developed discounted cash flow models that include the following assumptions, among others: projections of revenues, expenses, and related cash flows based on assumed long-term growth rates and demand trends; expected net working capital and capital expenditure requirements; and estimated discount rates. For the market approach, the Company relies upon valuation multiples derived from stock prices and enterprise values of publicly-traded companies that are comparable to the reporting units being evaluated.

 

While the Company tests its goodwill for impairment at least annually, it will test its goodwill for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change which are considered to be a triggering event that would more likely than not reduce a reporting unit’s fair value below its carrying amount. In Fiscal 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for impairment on each reporting unit's goodwill and determined that no goodwill impairment existed. In Fiscal 2020, House closures and uncertainties surrounding re-opening procedures associated with the COVID-19 pandemic constituted a triggering event for testing whether goodwill was impaired. The Company performed a quantitative assessment as of the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 and determined that no goodwill impairment existed. As of the first day of the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020, the Company performed a qualitative goodwill assessment and concluded it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting units which carry goodwill exceeds their respective carrying amounts. In Fiscal 2021, the Company performed a quantitative impairment assessment for two reporting units and a qualitative assessment for the remaining five reporting units; based on these assessments, the Company determined that no goodwill impairment existed.

Leases

Leases

 

The Company has entered into lease agreements for its Houses, hotels, restaurants, spas and other properties. The Company accounts for its leases under ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).

 

The Company determines the initial classification and measurement of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter, if the leases are modified. The lease term includes any renewal options and termination options that the Company is reasonably assured to exercise. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is determined by using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis an amount equal to the lease payments for a similar term and in a similar economic environment.

 

Rent expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the reasonably assured lease term based on the total lease payments and is included in other in-house operating expenses and other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company recognizes the amortization of the right-of-use asset for its finance leases on a straight-line basis over the reasonably assured lease term in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations. The interest expense related to finance leases is recognized using the effective interest method and is included within interest expense, net.

 

For all leases, rent payments that are based on a fixed index or rate at the lease commencement date are included in the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date. Rent payments that vary based on the outcome of future indices, rates, or the Company’s revenues are expensed in the period incurred.

 

The Company has previously elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. The Company’s non-lease components are primarily related to property maintenance, which varies based on future outcomes, and thus is recognized in rent expense when incurred. In addition, the Company elected to exclude short-term leases, or leases with a term of 12 months or less that do not contain a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, from the right-of-use asset and lease liability balances.

 

As part of our overall plan to improve liquidity during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company negotiated with certain lessors to defer or waive certain rent payments on leased buildings. Cash payment deferrals and waivers have been separately recorded in the period arrangements occurred, and therefore, there have been no remeasurements to the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets associated with the sites that received concessions. The Company accounted for the deferrals of lease payments as if there are no changes in the lease contract. Deferred amounts have been recognized in accounts payable and subsequent reversals will occur once the payments are made. As of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, $12 million and $20 million, respectively, is recorded in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets related to deferred lease payments.

 

Sale Leaseback Transactions

 

The Company accounts for a transaction as a sale of an asset and a leaseback of that asset only if the buyer-lessor obtains control of the asset in accordance with the provisions of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). In these circumstances, the Company (as the seller-lessee) derecognizes the carrying amount of the asset, recognizes the transaction price for the sale, and accounts for the lease in accordance with Topic 842. When a sale and leaseback transaction does not qualify for sale accounting, the Company does not derecognize the underlying asset and accounts for the transaction as a financing obligation.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt Issuance Costs

 

Debt issuance costs relate to the Company’s debt instruments. These costs are reflected as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt instrument, with the exception of the Company’s revolving credit facility, for which debt issuance costs are reflected as a current asset following repayment in full of the amount drawn under the facility during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022. Debt issuance costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the related debt instrument using the effective interest method. As of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, these costs totaled $13 million (including $1 million presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets) and $9 million, respectively. Amortization expense associated with debt issuance costs (excluding write-offs recognized upon extinguishment of debt), which is included within interest expense, net, totaled $5 million, $6 million, and $6 million for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company has various financial instruments measured at fair value on a periodic basis for disclosure purposes. See Note 13, Fair Value Measurements, for further information. The Company also applies the fair value measurement framework to various nonrecurring measurements for its financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date (an exit price). The Company uses the three-level valuation hierarchy for classification of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and may be considered observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument.

Level 3 Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The classification of assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Proper classification of fair value measurements within the valuation hierarchy is considered each reporting period. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for purposes of recognizing revenue. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. There is no variable consideration or obligations for returns or refunds, and no other related obligations in the Company’s contracts.

 

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type and may include a requirement of payment up to 45 days (as described further below). In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined its contracts do not include a significant financing component.

 

The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from the following sources and are recognized when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a good or service to a customer.

 

Membership Revenues

 

Membership revenues are comprised of annual membership fees and one-time initial registration fees.

 

Memberships are offered on an annual basis for access to Houses. Annual membership fees are paid annually, quarterly or monthly and are deferred and recognized over the term to which the payment relates. Revenue is measured based on the amount invoiced for the member’s annual membership fee. The current portion of deferred revenue relates primarily to annual membership fees. There is no non-current deferred revenue relating to annual membership fees.

 

One-time registration fees are non-refundable and are invoiced to the member on their acceptance of membership. Such registration fees are recognized as non-current deferred revenue upon payment, and are recognized as revenue over the estimated average membership life of 20 years. Registration fees of $2 million, $1 million, and $1 million were recognized as revenue in the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019 respectively. As of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, current

deferred revenue related to one-time registration fees totaled $2 million and $1 million, respectively, and non-current deferred revenue related to such fees totaled $28 million and $24 million, respectively.

 

In-House Revenues

 

In-House revenues represent all revenues generated within our Houses and primarily include revenues from food and beverage, accommodation, and spa products and treatments.

 

Revenue from food and beverage sales in the Company’s Houses is measured based on the amount invoiced for food and beverage purchased by the customer. Revenues are recognized when the goods are consumed. Payment is collected from the customer at the same time as the performance obligation is satisfied and, therefore, there are no material receivables, contract assets or contract liabilities related to food and beverage sales.

 

Hotel accommodation revenue is recognized when the rooms are occupied. Revenue is measured based on the amount invoiced for the room as specified in the contract when the room booking is made. Deposits received in advance of the hotel accommodation are deferred as contract liabilities and recognized as revenue when the customer occupies the room. As of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, advance deposits of $9 million and $7 million, respectively, were recorded as accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Retail sales represent sales of goods and services, including from spas and cinema properties. Revenue from these transactions is recognized at the point in time when the goods and services have been delivered or rendered. Sales made online include shipping revenue and are recognized on dispatch to the customer. Payment terms with respect to retail sales and wholesale sales range from immediate payment at point of sale up to approximately 45 days. Amounts invoiced to customers for completed sales are recorded within accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Other Revenues

 

Other revenues include all revenues that are not generated within our Houses. This includes revenues from Scorpios, Soho Works and our stand-alone restaurants, procurement fees from Soho House Design ("SHD"), Soho Home and Cowshed retail products and other revenues from products and services that we provide outside of our Houses, as well as management fees from the Ned. For further information regarding the Company’s relationship with The Ned, refer to Note 4, Consolidated Variable Interest Entities.

 

Revenue recognized from Soho House Design totaled $13 million, $14 million, and $23 million for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019, respectively. During the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019, Soho House Design ceased providing build-out services as a result of the Company’s decision to shift strategic focus to the higher-margin design services. Some of SHD’s build-out and design services are provided as part of the Company’s in-house development activities (including to certain related parties as described in Note 22, Related Parties), which do not generate revenues from third parties. The percentage of Soho House Design revenues relating to build-out and design contracts from unaffiliated third parties was 7% and 11% during the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022 and December 29, 2019, respectively. Soho House Design’s revenues relating to build-out and design contracts from unaffiliated third parties were immaterial during the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021.

 

Build-out and design contracts consist of a single performance obligation which is satisfied over time as the design and build work is completed and verified by third party contractors against specified contract milestones (output method of progress). The Company invoices for the work completed in accordance with the payment terms of the customer’s contract.

 

Sponsorship income is recognized upon the successful completion of the related event. Food and beverage sales from restaurants not located in one of the Company’s Houses or hotels are recognized in a manner similar to In-House food and beverage sales, as previously described.

 

Practical Expedients

 

The Company applies the practical expedient not to disclose the amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations and an explanation of when the Company expects to recognize that amount as revenue. In addition, the Company applies the practical expedient and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations for contracts that have original expected durations of one year or less.

In-House Operating Expenses and Other Operating Expenses

In-House Operating Expenses and Other Operating Expenses

 

In-House operating expenses represent the cost of sales of our In-House revenues and consist primarily of the cost of food and beverage products, employee-related costs for In-House staff members, rent expense, and utility costs. Other operating expenses represent the cost of sales of our Other revenues and consist primarily of the cost of retail products, food and beverage product costs associated with non-House restaurant operations, and employee-related costs for non-House staff members.

Government Grants

Government Grants

 

Throughout Fiscal 2020, as a result of impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental agencies in the United Kingdom and other European countries provided the Company grants primarily to support payroll needs. These government grants are exclusive of funds received (and eventually paid off) under the Paycheck Protection Program enacted by the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, which were accounted for as a borrowing (refer to Note 12, Debt, for more information). Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that cash will be received and that conditions attached to the grant have been met. Such government grants totaled $21 million during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022 and are presented as a reduction of payroll expenses within in-House operating expenses ($17 million), other operating expenses ($3 million) and general and administrative expense ($1 million) on the consolidated statements of operations. During the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021, government grants totaled $26 million and were presented as a reduction of payroll expenses within in-House operating expenses ($19 million), other operating expenses ($4 million) and general and administrative expense ($3 million) on the consolidated statements of operations.

Interest Expense

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense is charged to the consolidated statements of operations over the term of the debt such that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount (i.e. using the effective interest method). Interest expense includes the amortization of debt issuance costs, which are initially recognized as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated debt instrument, and interest expense on finance leases.

Business Interruption and Other Insurance Claims

Business Interruption and Other Insurance Claims

 

The Company maintains insurance policies to cover business interruption and property damage with terms that it believes to be adequate and appropriate. When the Company receives proceeds from the insurance claim in connection with property damage, which reimburses the replacement cost for repair or replacement of damaged assets, the proceeds are recognized as a reduction against the value of the assets written off. Business interruption proceeds which reimburse the time-element of actual costs and lost profits following damage to property are recognized as non-operating income. Business interruption proceeds related to the cost to expedite repairs, retention pay to workers temporarily displaced, and additional expenses to stay in business following damage to property are recognized as a reduction of the related expense line item. If there are any outstanding receivables in respect of insurance recoveries, they are recognized only when the Company deems collection to be virtually certain.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

Significant judgment is involved in determining the provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions for which the ultimate tax determination is unclear due to uncertainty in the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes tax liabilities based on its assessment of whether its tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained, based on the technical merits and considerations of the relevant taxing authorities’ widely understood administrative practices and precedence. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties for any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax (benefit) expense.

 

Income tax (benefit) expense consists of taxes currently payable and changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities calculated according to local tax rules. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on temporary differences that arise between carrying values of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for taxation purposes and the future tax benefits of tax loss carry forwards. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.

 

Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers all available evidence for each jurisdiction, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income and the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies. In the event that the Company changes its determination

as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, the Company will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to income tax (benefit) expense in the period in which such determination is made.

 

The amount of deferred tax recognized in any period is based on tax rates enacted as of the balance sheet date. The impact of tax law changes is recognized in periods when the change is enacted. The Company classifies all deferred tax assets and liabilities, including any related valuation allowance, as non-current on the consolidated balance sheets.

Indirect Taxes

Indirect Taxes

 

The Company remits sales, value added and other indirect taxes to various taxing jurisdictions as a result of revenue earned from the sale of products and services to customers. Specific sales tax rates applicable to the Company’s products and services vary by taxing jurisdiction. The Company records sales, value added and other indirect taxes as liabilities when incurred. Revenue is recognized net of sales, value added and other indirect taxes.

Foreign Currency and Operations

Foreign Currency and Operations

 

During periods preceding the IPO that are presented in these consolidated financial statements, our business was conducted through SHHL. The functional currency of SHHL is the British pound sterling ("GBP"). As a result of the Reorganization Transactions in connection with the IPO, SHHL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCG. The functional currency of MCG is the United States dollar ("USD"). Our reporting currency for the consolidated financial statements is the USD for all periods presented.

 

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity’s operations are conducted. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is generally the same as their local currency. The Company translates the financial statements of its subsidiaries into the presentation currency using exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for the period for statement of operations accounts, with the difference recognized in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. The following exchange rates were used to translate the financial statements of the Company and its foreign subsidiaries into USD:

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded foreign currency transaction net losses of $26 million, net gains of $3 million, and net gains of $3 million during the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019, respectively.

Pre-Opening Expenses

Pre-Opening Expenses

 

Pre-opening expenses include costs associated with the acquisition, opening, conversion and initial setup of new and converted sites, including rent, overhead expenses, pre-opening marketing and incremental wages to support the “ramp up” period of time to support the site in the initial period following opening. These costs are expensed as incurred and are included in pre-opening expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The entire balance of these costs is related to pre-opening activities for our Houses in each of the periods presented.

Advertising Costs

Advertising Costs

 

The cost of advertising and media is expensed as incurred. For the fiscal years ended January 2, 2022, January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019, advertising costs totaled $6 million, $4 million, and $6 million, respectively. Advertising costs are included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

 

Share-based compensation is measured at the estimated fair value of the award on the grant date and recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. The Company does not reduce share-based compensation for an estimate of forfeitures and will account for forfeitures when they occur. In order to determine the grant date fair value of awards granted prior to IPO, the Company applied the Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The determination of fair value of these awards is subjective and involves estimates and assumptions including expected term of the awards, volatility of the Company’s shares, expected dividend yield, and the risk-free rate. The Company uses the closing stock price on the date of grant to determine the grant date fair value for restricted stock units ("RSUs").

 

Share-based compensation expense is recorded within general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 14, Share-Based Compensation, for additional information.

Offering Costs

Offering Costs

 

Direct and incremental legal and accounting costs associated with the Company’s initial public offering totaling $40 million have been recorded as a reduction of offering proceeds within additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 2, 2022. In addition, during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022, the Company incurred $14 million, respectively, of costs related to the offering which were recognized in other in the consolidated statements of operations. There were no offering costs incurred during the fiscal years ended January 3, 2021 or December 29, 2019.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive Loss

 

The entire balance of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes, is related to the cumulative translation adjustment in each of the periods presented. The changes in the balance of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of income tax, are attributable solely to the net change in the cumulative translation adjustment in each of the periods presented, and include the error correction described above during the fiscal year ended January 2, 2022.

Net Loss per Share

Net Loss per Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share using the two-class method. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings or losses are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class of common stock, and the resulting basic and diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders are therefore the same for Class A and B common stock. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and respective share equivalents outstanding at the end of the period, unless the effect is anti-dilutive. An anti-dilutive impact is a reduction in net loss per share resulting from the conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of certain securities. Since the Company had net losses for all the periods presented, basic and diluted loss per share are the same, and additional potential common shares have been excluded as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

As discussed in Note 1, Nature of the Business, immediately prior to the IPO, the Company completed certain reorganization transactions which resulted in changes to our common stock and issued and outstanding shares but no change in relative shareholder rights, rank, or value before and after the reorganization transaction. As such, the Reorganization Transactions were considered to have an equivalent effect to a stock split and require retrospective treatment for purposes of computing loss per share. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the Reorganization Transactions for all periods presented.

The issuance of shares in the IPO and the impact of conversion of the senior convertible preference shares into Class A common stock are included in the calculation of loss per share prospectively from the date of issuance or conversion, as the case may be.

SHHL Redeemable Preferred Shares and SHHL Redeemable C Ordinary Shares

SHHL Redeemable Preferred Shares and SHHL Redeemable C Ordinary Shares

 

As of January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019, SHHL had redeemable preferred shares and redeemable C ordinary shares outstanding, which are collectively referred to as "redeemable shares." In addition, in March 2021, the Company issued senior convertible preference shares, which were subsequently converted into Class A common stock immediately after the IPO. See Note 15, SHHL Redeemable Preferred Shares and Note 16, SHHL C Ordinary Shares, for additional information.

 

Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption as of a specified date are classified as debt and are initially measured at fair value. Contingently redeemable shares (including shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company's control) are classified as temporary equity and initially measured at fair value.

 

When redemption is deemed to be probable, if the carrying amount of the redeemable shares is less than the redemption value, the carrying value of the shares is increased by periodic accretions so that the carrying value is equal to the redemption amount at the earliest redemption date. Such accretion is recorded as a dividend in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity (deficit).

 

Prior to February 2019, SHHL had certain preferred shares that were redeemable after five years and were considered probable of becoming redeemable in the future. For those shares, the redemption price was fixed, such that no adjustment or accretion was required to the carrying value. Certain other redeemable shares which are neither initially redeemable nor considered to be probable to be redeemable are recorded at their initial carrying value, and an adjustment of the initial carrying amount is not made until it is probable that the shares will become redeemable. During the second fiscal quarter of 2021, the Company concluded that certain SHHL redeemable preferred shares were probable of becoming redeemable and, therefore, the shares were accreted to their redemption value; see Note 15, SHHL Redeemable Preferred Shares, for additional information.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to loss contingencies that arise out of operations in the normal course of business. Periodically, the Company reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses the potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable, and the amount can be reliably estimated, such amount is recognized in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Contingent liabilities are measured at the Company’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation as of the end of the reporting period. If there is no best estimate, an amount is recorded for the lowest amount of the range of potential outcomes. Refer to Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies, for more information.

Future Accounting Standards

Future Accounting Standards

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The ASU adds to US GAAP an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss, or “CECL,” model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which is intended to result in the more timely recognition of losses. Under the CECL model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument from the date of initial recognition of the financial instrument. The update is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 or the interim period in which the Company loses emerging growth company status, and should be adopted using a modified retrospective approach, which applies a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective.

 

In November 2018 and April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses and ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, respectively. These amendments add clarity to certain areas within ASU 2016-13. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Target Transition Relief, which provided transition relief for entities adopting ASU 2016-13 by allowing the election of the fair value option on certain

financial instruments. The effective date and the transition methodology for the amendments in these updates are the same as in ASU 2016-13.

 

ASU 2016-13 and related updates apply to how the Company evaluates impairments of its trade receivables and notes receivable. The Company does not expect these ASUs to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The ASU requires entities to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The update is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 or the interim period in which the Company loses emerging growth company status, and should be adopted using a prospective approach to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. The amendments in this update require additional annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. The update is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and should be adopted prospectively to all transactions within the scope of the amendments that are reflected in financial statements at the date of initial application and new transactions entered into after the date of initial application, or retrospectively to those transactions. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in US GAAP. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected to early adopt the ASU on January 4, 2021. The provisions of this ASU have been applied on a modified retrospective basis and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. The ASU clarifies that implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements are deferred if they would be capitalized by customers in the software licensing arrangements under the internal-use software guidance. ASU 2018-15 also clarifies that any capitalized costs should not be recorded to depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company adopted this standard effective January 4, 2021 prospectively to all new implementation costs incurred after adoption. The amendments of ASU 2018-15 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The Company does not believe that there are any material potential effects on financial reporting of the market-wide migration away from LIBOR, which was phased out at the end of calendar year 2021, to alternative reference rates. As of January 2, 2022, the Company did not have any outstanding debt balances with associated LIBOR rates. To the extent such debt balances arise, the Company plans to replace the LIBOR benchmark rate with another benchmark rate, such as the SONIA.

(1)
The expected average life assumption is based on the Company's expectation for a liquidity event as a grant date.
(2)
The expected volatility assumption is developed using leverage-adjusted historical volatilities for public peer companies for the period equal to the expected average life of the awards.
(3)
The risk-free rate is based on the US Treasury Rate Yield Curve Rate as of the grant date with maturities equal to the expected average life of the awards.
The expected dividend yield is 0.0% since the Company does not expect to pay dividends.

[1] The Company does not believe that there are any material potential effects on financial reporting of the market-wide migration away from LIBOR, which was phased out at the end of calendar year 2021, to alternative reference rates. As of January 2, 2022, the Company did not have any outstanding debt balances with associated LIBOR rates. To the extent such debt balances arise, the Company plans to replace the LIBOR benchmark rate with another benchmark rate, such as the SONIA.

[1] The Company does not believe that there are any material potential effects on financial reporting of the market-wide migration away from LIBOR, which was phased out at the end of calendar year 2021, to alternative reference rates. As of January 2, 2022, the Company did not have any outstanding debt balances with associated LIBOR rates. To the extent such debt balances arise, the Company plans to replace the LIBOR benchmark rate with another benchmark rate, such as the SONIA.
