Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Sonder supplements its consolidated financial statements presented
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States ("GAAP") by providing additional financial measures that
are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including Free Cash Flow,
Free Cash Flow Margin, Cash Contribution and Cash Contribution
Margin. Further information about these measures appears under "Key
Terms" to the right. Sonder's management uses these non-GAAP
financial measures, collectively, to evaluate ongoing operations and
for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Sonder believes that
these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating its
operating performance, and may assist investors in comparisons with
other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial
information to supplement their GAAP results. However, Sonder's
definitions may differ from the definitions used by other companies
and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other
companies may not publish these or similar measures. These
non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or as a
substitute for, or superior to, measures prepared in accordance with
GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial
measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial
measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Sonder has not reconciled consolidated Free Cash Flow guidance to
projected consolidated GAAP cash provided by (used in) operating
activities because Sonder does not provide guidance on GAAP cash
provided by (used in) operating activities or the reconciling items
between Free Cash Flow and GAAP cash provided by (used in)
operating activities, as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the
potential variability of, certain of these items. Accordingly, a
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the
corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable
effort.

Key Terms
Total Portfolio
Total Portfolio represents Live Units plus Contracted Units. This includes
any unit that has a signed real estate contract, regardless of whether
or not the unit is available for guests to book. This excludes any units
that have been exited (i.e., the lease was terminated or allowed to
expire). 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. Contracted Units are units for
which Sonder has signed real estate contracts, but are not yet
available for guests to book. Sonder is not yet able to generate revenue
from these units. Certain signed leases have contingencies or
conditions that must be satisfied before we take over the units, and
from time to time, we exclude some of these leases from our
Contracted Units total based on our judgment about the likelihood that
the contingencies or conditions will be satisfied.
Occupancy Rate
Occupancy Rate is defined as Occupied Nights divided by Bookable
Nights, expressed as a percentage. Bookable Nights represent the total
number of nights available for stays across all Live Units. This excludes
nights lost to full building closures of greater than 30 nights. Occupied
Nights represent the total number of nights occupied across all Live
Units.
Revenue per Available Room
Revenue Per Available Room ("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. Average Daily Rate ("ADR") represents the average
revenue earned per night occupied and is calculated as revenue
divided by Occupied Nights.
Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow ("FCF") is defined as cash provided by (used in)
operating activities plus cash provided by (used in) investing activities,
excluding the impact of restructuring charges, if any. Free Cash Flow
Margin is defined as Free Cash Flow as a percentage of revenue.
Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to the most comparable GAAP
measure can be found on pg 22.
Cash Contribution
Cash Contribution is defined as operating cash flow before
non-property level expenses, excluding the impact of restructuring
charges, if any. Cash Contribution Margin is defined as Cash
Contribution as a percentage of revenue. Reconciliation of Cash
Contribution to the most comparable GAAP measure can be found on
pgs 23-24.
