Vacasa Reports Record Second Quarter 2021 Results

 

PORTLAND, Ore., (September 9, 2021) — Vacasa, North America’s leading vacation rental management platform, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

 

"Vacasa’s operating and financial results far exceeded our second quarter targets, driven by pent-up demand for leisure travel, shifting consumer preference and the unique benefits vacation rentals provide in the current environment," said Matt Roberts, CEO of Vacasa. “These strong consumer trends have continued, and we now expect our third quarter revenue to finish well ahead of the targets we established with TPG Pace Solutions prior to our announced business combination.”

 

Second Quarter 2021 Highlights:

 

Vacasa’s Operating and Financial Results Exceed Targets. Second quarter 2021 Gross Booking Value, Revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA all finished above the targets outlined in the Investor Presentation filed by TPG Pace Solutions Corp. (NYSE: TPGS; “TPGS”) when the planned business combination was announced on July 29, 2021.

 

Strong Gross Booking Value Drives Record Revenue. Gross Booking Value reached $514 million in the second quarter, up 247% year-over-year and above the target of $478 million. As a result, Revenue reached $240 million in the second quarter, up 188% year-over-year and above the target of $220 million.

 

Over 1.4 Million Nights Sold. There were more than 1.4 million Nights Sold in the second quarter compared to 449,000 in the second quarter of 2020. Not only was occupancy strong, driven by increased demand for leisure travel, but we were able to achieve that with an increase in Gross Booking Value per Night Sold to a record setting $365 during the quarter.

 

Net Loss. Net loss in the second quarter was $17 million compared to $20 million in the second quarter of 2020.

 

Topline Outperformance Results in Adjusted EBITDA Beat. Second quarter 2021 Adjusted EBITDA was positive $9 million compared to negative $6 million in the second quarter of 2020 and to the target of negative $7 million. The $16 million outperformance on Adjusted EBITDA relative to the target was attributable to stronger than projected Revenue.

 

 

 

Third Quarter Revenue Pacing Nearly 20% Higher than Target. The favorable tailwinds that drove outperformance in the second quarter have continued into the third quarter. We are capitalizing on the ongoing surge in consumer demand by executing on our core strategy: maximizing revenue for our homeowners by achieving the optimal balance between occupancy and Gross Booking Value per Night Sold. Based on the trends we’ve seen to date, we expect third quarter revenue to be in the range of $300 million to $310 million compared to our target of $258 million. Given the continued momentum in the business, we are pulling forward some of our planned investments to the third and fourth quarter, which we expect to fund with revenue outperformance. We now expect third quarter Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of positive $35 million to $40 million compared to our target of positive $26 million.

 

Product Updates. We recently released a number of new products including the beta version of our Homeowner Mobile App, the “Add a Night” Feature to further optimize revenue and the guest experience, and the HomeCare Hub API for contractor agencies. We have a deep product roadmap and will continue to invest in engineers to improve our proprietary technology offering and, in turn, our customer experience.

 

"Heightened demand for vacation rentals during the second quarter resulted in strong occupancy. Simultaneously, Vacasa was able to increase Gross Booking Value per Night Sold by over 10% versus last year, maximizing rental income for our valued homeowners," said Jamie Cohen, CFO of Vacasa. “With these favorable patterns clearly extending into the third quarter, we are finding ways to invest the overperformance back into the business to further our competitive differentiation and continue building a strong foundation for long-term growth.”

As a result, caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Due to known and unknown risks, actual results may differ materially from TPGS’s or Vacasa’s expectations or projections.

Additional information concerning these and other factors that may impact TPGS’s and Vacasa’s expectations and projections can be found in TPGS’s periodic filings with the SEC, in the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC by NewCo., and in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus when available.

No Assurances

The description of the transactions contained herein is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the definitive agreements relating to the transactions, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by TPGS with the SEC on August 3, 2021.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial measure that is not defined by or presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Because it excludes items we do not believe to be indicative of our core operating performance, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to analysts and investors in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, is frequently used by these parties in evaluating companies in our industry, and provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, Adjusted EBITDA is a key measurement used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to analyzing operating expenses, evaluating performance, and performing strategic planning and annual budgeting.

 

However, Adjusted EBITDA has a number of significant limitations as an analytical tool, and other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, thereby further limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of its limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as supplemental in nature only, and should not be viewed as a substitute for net loss or any other financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

From time to time when presenting forward-looking non-GAAP metrics, we are unable to provide quantitative reconciliations to the most closely correlated GAAP measure due to the uncertainty in the timing, amount or nature of any adjustments, which could be material in any period.
