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.
