Sonder Results Presentation Deck
Disclaimer
Sonder and GM II believe that such non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to
investors and others in understanding and evaluating Sonder's operating results in the same
manner as Sonder management. However, such financial measures are not calculated in
accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for revenue, net income,
operating profit, or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with
GAAP. Using any such financial measure to analyze Sonder's business would have material
limitations because the calculations are based on the subjective determination of management
regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find
significant. In addition, although other companies in Sonder's industry may report measures
titled EBITDA or similar measures, such financial measures may be calculated differently from
how Sonder calculates such financial measures, which reduces their overall usefulness as
comparative measures. Because of these limitations, you should consider these non-GAAP
financial measures alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and
other financial results, presented in accordance with GAAP.
Key Metrics
This Presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures and key metrics that Sonder's
management uses to evaluate Sonder's operations, measure its performance and make
strategic decisions. The key metrics used in this Presentation are Live Units, Bookable Nights,
Average Daily Rate and RevPAR.
Live Units are defined as units which are available for guest bookings on Sonder.com, the
Sonder app and other channels. Sonder pays rent (or utilizes pre-negotiated abatement) and is
able to generate revenue from these units.
Bookable Nights represent the total number of nights available for stays across all Live Units
excluding nights lost to full building closures greater than 30 nights, in line with industry
standards. Sonder previously calculated Bookable Nights excluding unit closures, regardless of
length of closure or number of units. Sonder's change in methodology in the calculation of
Bookable Nights increased historical and forecasted Bookable Nights, decreased historical and
forecasted RevPAR, and had no effect on the historical or forecasted financial information.
Average Daily Rate represents the average revenue earned per night occupied, and is calculated
as Revenue divided by the total number of Occupied Nights across all Live Units.
RevPAR represents the average revenue earned per available night, and is calculated either by
dividing revenue by Bookable Nights, or by multiplying Average Daily Rate by Occupancy Rate,
expressed in U.S. dollars.
