Whats up everybody. I am Nick Jones, Founder and CEO of MCG. I’m delighted to welcome you all to the fourth quarter earnings name for the MCG this time from London, however we’ll be within the US subsequent week and we’ll be comfortable to see you all. I will take you thru among the highlights for the fourth quarter and for the 12 months earlier than handing over to Andrew, our President for a give attention to our core Soho Home enterprise and rising membership regardless of the pandemic and macro headwinds of the final 12 months. Humera, our CFO will observe with an in depth overview for the numbers earlier than concluding remarks and opening up any questions.
First although, a recap on our price proposition. What makes MCG particular? We’re the one world membership platform with a confirmed expertise of delivering reoccurring revenues during the last 26 years. Our membership development is stronger than ever. In truth, we’re on observe to beat our Q1 12 months membership goal by 25%. We have now at all times had a member first focus and this has seen us improve demand for our membership base year-on-year throughout 2021. Our waitlist grew even throughout COVID. Our members have been extremely loyal. Each retention and frozen members are actually again to pre-pandemic ranges. We have now a big addressable world market and that may proceed with a North American focus to our growth plans. Alongside our first two homes in Scandinavia and an extra home in Asia, we now goal to focus on opening at the very least eight to 10 new Soho Homes yearly and have elevated our growth pipeline to 9 this 12 months.
As This autumn was 1 / 4 with its challenges. Enterprise was actually robust in October and November earlier than the brand new variant disrupted enterprise in December throughout what usually is our greatest time of the 12 months. However trying forward, we’re assured that because the world lastly emerges from COVID, we will ship on our plans. The vast majority of our future homes are an asset-light growth mannequin, which suggests we will develop considerably while conserving money and offering a path ahead to generate free money movement.
In fact, MCG isn’t resistant to the continued pressures from rising inflation however now we have countered this by growing pricing together with our Each Home membership, which was final reviewed in 2019. We additionally see nice potential to scale our high-margin manufacturers like Soho Dwelling, which our members love as a result of it means they will convey the home residence; and Soho Join, which goes to be our digital membership the place members will be capable to join with one another globally. That is launching later this 12 months.
2021 was a difficult 12 months for us all as a result of numerous COVID restrictions all year long. In truth, we estimate that our homes solely operated at roughly 40% capability and that was with all of the masks and the social distancing, which went with it. Mixed with the inefficiencies of opening and shutting quite a few occasions and workers shortages, it made the 12 months tough for our groups and members. That stated, I imagine we delivered a robust set of outcomes. It is onerous to imagine that our IPO was solely eight months in the past, elevating $388 million to strengthen our steadiness sheet and the large effort our staff devoted to reaching this throughout a pandemic. I actually need to thank them rather a lot.
On the finish of 2021, MCG had roughly 156,000 members in whole throughout the Americas, UK, Europe and Asia. Our whole MCG membership grew by 37,000 throughout 2021 with 11,000 of these becoming a member of within the ultimate quarter and that is regardless of delaying some December intakes due to the brand new variant. Our Soho Home retention price has not solely remained excessive, however is now again to 2019 ranges. 2021 was a report 12 months for all our membership purposes from all geographies with the year-end MCG waitlist is now at over 70,000. The worth of a Soho Home membership continued to extend, as our portfolio expanded with the opening of one other six Soho Homes, 4 of which have been in new nations for us. Our members love nothing greater than new home opening.
In 2022, now we have elevated our growth pipeline to 9 and have already had an incredible begin to the 12 months with the opening of Nashville, Brighton later this month and Holloway Home in West Hollywood in April. Our members love merchandise related to Soho Home and this results in the next spend per member throughout, our complementary companies corresponding to Soho Dwelling and Soho Works, which grew considerably final 12 months. We noticed robust year-on-year EBITDA enchancment throughout the quarter and full 12 months and imagine this enhancing momentum will proceed.
A bit extra element on the thrilling openings for 2022. Nashville which opened final month is centered round native artwork and dwell leisure. They love new period that includes 47 bedrooms indoor and outside efficiency areas, a big swimming pool, screening room, a Soho Well being Membership and our first-ever membership Cecconi’s. We have now welcomed over 1,000 new members since opening and our waitlist growing each week. It should be the most effective homes. Brighton Seaside Home on the South Coast of the UK is situated in probably the most inventive progressive cities. So it appeared like a pure step to open a home there. Our membership purposes are unimaginable and are very, very robust.
Holloway Home in West Hollywood will observe shortly afterwards. It has 34 bedrooms which our West Coast members and individuals who go to the West Coast have been asking for, for some time. We’ll host a number of Oscar events and different personal occasions on the finish of March earlier than absolutely opening to members in April. For the rest of 2022, now we have homes opening in London, Miami, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Mexico Metropolis and Bangkok to succeed in the 9 I’ve simply talked about and we’ll replace you every quarter on our progress. We plan to open our second Scorpios web site in Tulum in Mexico in direction of the top of this 12 months in addition to The Ned Nomad in New York anticipated to open in the summertime of 2022. This development is what MCG is all about, regularly growing the worth of our memberships by including new entry and experiences for all our members.
And with that, I’ll hand over to Andrew.
Andrew Carnie
Thanks, Nick, and welcome everybody. Whereas our full 12 months figures mirror the impression of Omicron with lots of our homes closed throughout lengthy intervals of the 12 months, membership engagement has by no means been stronger. A number of key themes to notice. Memberships elevated all through 2021 reaching all-time highs regardless of the pandemic. As we add extra homes, members are more and more selecting Each Home membership, now accounting for 81% of whole members versus 75% in 2017. Our waitlist on the finish of fiscal 2021 stands at an all-time excessive of over 70,000 and demand for memberships have elevated considerably in 2022 with 1,600 purposes per week.
So let me body that for you. We have attracted round 150,000 members over our practically three many years historical past and we now have virtually 50% of that quantity on the present waitlist. This offers us with unparalleled stability and predictability. Inflation is on everybody’s thoughts and we discovered that having nearly all of our members having Each Home membership, permits us to go on inflation extra simply, because the added worth they achieve from opening new homes far outweighs the membership value improve.
As of This autumn 2021, all membership metrics have returned to or above historic highs. Our members are extremely loyal. Our value of selling and attracting new members continues to be negligible, which is exclusive permits robust margin enhancement alternatives. So listed below are our This autumn statistics I would wish to share with you.
Membership revenues at $53 million, 24% larger than This autumn 2020. Membership income accounted for 29% of whole revenues, which is an encouraging metric for us as a result of it exhibits our recurring revenues are again in keeping with 2019 ranges. We completed This autumn with 122800 Soho Home members, welcoming 9,300 new members throughout 2021 together with 5000 in This autumn.
New members joined us throughout all our homes and geographies, demonstrating our world footprint. Comparable home membership web development was plus 300 foundation factors and new homes achieved their targets including an extra 1,700 members in This autumn. Our waitlist which is a key indicator of the well being of our membership continued to develop in This autumn, up practically 23000 or 48% versus This autumn 2020.
As Nick talked about, our retention price has returned to 95% by the top of This autumn some 300 foundation factors larger than in 2020. We might have met and even exceeded our intakes if not for the brand new variant of COVID in December. Frozen memberships diminished by 71% over the course of the monetary 12 months again to pre-pandemic ranges.
Soho Buddies our newer membership has continued to develop persistently. In This autumn, we welcomed an extra 5,550 taking the 2021 whole to 23,500, which is a 500% development in 2021. Soho Buddies are predominantly friends of members. We captured the info of all our friends and communicated about our new memberships by way of the home visitor performance within the Soho Home app. There may be an considerable conversion price of friends to members.
You recognize, we’re capable of develop Soho Buddies at a low value of acquisition utilizing present bodily and digital belongings. The membership will drive margin enhancement for the foreseeable future.
Lastly, we proceed to see digital engagement improve considerably. App customers elevated by 160% versus 2020 and members now use the app thrice per week for reserving, paying and connecting. To assist body these stats additional, initially of final 12 months, 40% of members have been utilizing the app. By the top of final 12 months, 85% we’re utilizing it and 75% of all member bookings are actually by way of the SH.APP, doubling throughout the final 12 months.
The uptake of digital bookings took over 200,000 calls away from our contact heart in reception final 12 months, which led to important discount in our operational spend. We have seen a large uplift of our social connection function on the app Home Join. 31% of members now use Home Join every week, up from zero this time final 12 months. Learnings from Home Join are feeding into our new digital-only membership, Soho Join which can launch later this 12 months.
Waiting for 2022, we have already welcomed 9,000 MCG members within the first two months of this 12 months alone, which represents a 6% development in our membership base since year-end and illustrates important momentum in our membership. We’ll welcome 25% extra members than deliberate in Q1 and improve full 12 months by the identical uplift.
Turning to In-Home revenues. We noticed a close to 250% development of In-Home revenues versus the fourth quarter of 2020 and an extra 33% development over Q3 2021, regardless of the brand new variant of COVID disruption in December. Our lodging efficiency was sturdy given the backdrop of ongoing restrictions.
Occupancy by month diversified throughout three areas for This autumn. UK was strongest, adopted by the USA enterprise, which improved steadily and held up remarkably effectively in December, whereas our European enterprise was very difficult and struggled all through This autumn as a result of heavy journey restrictions. However the above, our ADRs have been on common 38% larger than comparable This autumn 2019 ranges, serving to to offset weaker occupancy ranges and resulting in a 4% RevPAR development versus 2019.
Seeking to this 12 months, regardless of a difficult January, revenues have bounced again and proceed on the identical development as This autumn. In February efficiency within the US and UK homes, that are the 2 areas which might be most normalized post-COVID each are performing effectively and we’re seeing like-for-like revenues effectively above 2019 ranges. Plus ahead bookings for the rest of March and April are trying very robust.
Now I need to flip to our addressable market. We have now a big addressable market with a sexy monetary mannequin that may yield excessive margins. We’ll double to over 85 homes over the following 5 years and we’ll exceed our deliberate Soho Home openings in 2022 as mentioned by Nick earlier.
I need to spend extra time on our confidence round margin enchancment and why our Cities With out Homes membership is necessary to our development. Firstly, margin. With the six openings in 2021 and not too long ago Nashville, 45% of our homes are newly constructed for the reason that begin of 2018. They’re all in nice situation and in comparatively within the early phases of their maturation curves.
Homes usually run roughly 20% house-level contribution margins after three years to 5 years of opening and stabilize at roughly 30% margins after 5 years to 10 years. As they stabilize extra membership drops to the house-level contribution with our most established areas now reaching a 90% flow-through.
Most of our openings have been derived from the Cities With out Homes program. We have now over 4,200 CWH members paying full Each Home membership throughout greater than 40 cities. It is a extremely attainable enterprise, which we are going to proceed to develop within the inventive hubs all over the world particularly North America, Latin America and Asia.
To place this in context, now we have a transparent path to greater than doubling the dimensions of our enterprise within the coming years by way of our capital-light high-profit development pipeline and margins will proceed to develop and enhance.
I needed to complete on Soho Dwelling, our luxurious interiors enterprise because it showcases the energy of our Soho Home model. Soho Dwelling actually permits members to take the home residence. And over the previous three years the CAGR is over 90%.
2021 was a standout 12 months together with 105% development in This autumn year-on-year regardless of provide chain delays attributable to the pandemic which fortunately are actually assuaging and Soho Houses continued to carry out strongly in Q1 with development in keeping with 2021. Our members proceed to be our Most worthy prospects making up 74% of our gross sales up 5% within the fourth quarter versus the third quarter and up 7% year-on-year.
Gross margins over the 12 months improved by 1,500 foundation factors to 75% with common order values growing greater than 60% throughout the quarter versus This autumn 2020. The fast development and optimistic metrics present the groups are delighting members and executing development effectively. Soho House is a high-growth enterprise with a major future forward of it.
Earlier than I go you on to Humera, I need to thank the groups and Martin, our COO for persevering with to provide the perfect member expertise and delivering a very good set of outcomes throughout what has been a really difficult 12 months in This autumn.
Humera Afzal
Thanks, Andrew and welcome everybody. I will now take you thru the monetary highlights from the fourth quarter of 2021 beginning first with a snapshot of a few of our KPIs earlier than transferring on to income, contribution margins and adjusted EBITDA in additional element over the next slides.
We have additionally positioned the equal slides for the total 2021 monetary 12 months within the appendices on your comfort. Firstly, our whole income in This autumn of $184.5 million elevated by 158% in contrast with the fourth quarter of 2020.
Within the quarter, our membership income our recurring income revenue stream elevated to $52.7 million or 24% above This autumn 2020 ranges and accounting for 29% of whole income within the interval. This was pushed by the expansion in our whole membership base which Andrew has already spoken about.
In-Home income in This autumn continued to rebound strongly regardless of the Omicron impression to enterprise in December growing to $89 million or a 247% enchancment year-on-year. It was additionally a robust enchancment over the Q3 efficiency of $66.9 million.
All areas benefited from F&B value will increase. The weighted common of those was roughly 5% throughout the quarter and had little or no impression on volumes. Development was additionally boosted by fewer COVID restrictions year-on-year significantly in North America.
Different revenues of $42.8 million additionally confirmed a really robust restoration versus 2020 pushed by the continued sturdy efficiency of Soho Dwelling restoration of public eating places within the UK and North America. Additionally aiding different income development was improved efficiency of The NED London for which we obtain a administration payment; and rising contribution from the road of Saguaro Accommodations which grew to become a part of the MCG Group in June 2021.
Home-level contribution benefited from diminished restrictions year-on-year and sturdy membership development within the second half of the 12 months. Nevertheless, this was offset by growing working prices and the corporate opening six new homes in 2021 versus just one new home in 2020, as new openings are likely to have a destructive contribution within the first one to 2 years.
Home contribution margin for This autumn, 2021 is down barely versus This autumn, ’20 at 24% and the principle driver of that is authorities help offered throughout 2020 and 2021. And adjusting this help out, Home contribution might be up virtually 2% on This autumn, 2020. Different contribution additionally improved strongly from a lack of practically $14 million in This autumn, ’20 to a optimistic $5.3 million in This autumn, 2021 because of development in our retail providing year-on-year and improved efficiency in our eating places and townhouses following diminished restrictions.
I would like to the touch briefly on membership credit earlier than we transfer on. Credit with a face worth of $5 million have been redeemed by members in This autumn, 2021 equal to an estimated $3 million of potential gross revenue, if a money sale had been made by these members. Though these membership credit score gross sales aren’t included within the income numbers, now we have shared them with you immediately.
This takes whole credit score utilization for full 12 months 2021 to $43 million which isn’t acknowledged in our income numbers with an approximate $30 million alternative value or EBITDA miss for the group. Credit score gross sales as a proportion of whole gross sales are round 1% to 2% for 2022 year-to-date with spend predominantly in Soho Dwelling On-line and in our European homes.
Shifting on to the income bridge. This slide units out the constructing blocks of our income construct throughout the ultimate quarter of our monetary 12 months. You will see right here the three major drivers to our improved income efficiency. Firstly, membership development. Membership income development was volume-driven with important improve in full-paying members year-on-year in present homes, in addition to membership charges from six new homes in 2021, a rise of 17,000 members. There have been no materials Soho Home membership value will increase between This autumn, ’20 and This autumn, 2021 and Different memberships contributed to circa 35% of income development versus the identical quarter in 2020.
Secondly, the much-improved In Home income efficiency was aided by the brand new home openings and fewer COVID closures and restrictions general versus This autumn, 2020. Though to notice, some restrictions in This autumn, 2021 significantly throughout Europe did have an effect on gross sales. This was partially mitigated by value rises earlier in 2021 throughout meals and beverage and the rise in ADR that Andrew has talked about.
And eventually, different income development got here from numerous sources together with full consolidation of income from the Mandolin restaurant and revenues from LINE and Saguaro in This autumn, 2021. Moreover, there was continued robust development within the Soho Dwelling providing, in addition to improved efficiency of UK, North American eating places as demand elevated as COVID restrictions diminished.
Turning subsequent to EBITDA. Total, our adjusted EBITDA improved from a lack of $19.1 million in This autumn, ’20 to a optimistic $2.6 million for This autumn, 2021 and web loss was $41.9 million for the quarter versus a lack of $72.5 million in This autumn, ’20. By way of the important thing drivers of the improved efficiency, adjusted EBITDA development year-on-year is predominantly pushed by 4 key points. Firstly, elevated membership revenues have been volume-driven with important improve in full-paying Soho Home members year-on-year, in addition to membership charges from six new homes. Extra membership income was pushed by improved occupancy at Soho Works.
The following driver is the restoration of In Home contribution via elevated footfall, given fewer restrictions year-on-year, along with improved meals and beverage value of gross sales administration throughout the UK and North American homes. Nevertheless, there was a dilutive impression of the six new homes on Home contribution. As they’re usually loss-making the primary 12 months or two of their operation.
Inside different contribution, we benefited from continued development in retail, in addition to improved efficiency from our eating places and contribution from LINE and Saguaro. EBITDA development was partially offset by elevated G&A bills together with these associated to being a publicly listed firm and these have been roughly $3 million throughout the quarter, together with payroll, authorized charges and insurance coverage.
As , we report our adjusted EBITDA burden for development which means that, we embody bills which might be related to the expansion of our enterprise. The bridge on this slide exhibits a few of these bills. Firstly, preopening prices have been $5.3 million in This autumn, 2021. Noncash hire which is the distinction between the rental prices in accordance with GAAP and the precise money value was $5.8 million within the quarter. And eventually deferred registration charges have been $3.9 million in This autumn, 2021.
Now delving a bit additional into contribution margins. Firstly, home degree contribution which is outlined as Home revenues much less In-Home working bills was $32 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, with house-level contribution margin at 24%, up from 21% in Q3 2021, however down from 26% margin in This autumn 2020.
As talked about earlier, stripping out authorities wage help from Home contribution This autumn 2021 margin could be virtually 2% higher year-on-year. Understandably, as volumes In-Homes rose In-Home working bills additionally elevated.
In step with the business, we have seen inflationary pressures throughout our meals and beverage, oblique prices and most notably labor base in addition to power. We anticipate power costs to proceed to rise into 2022. As talked about in Q3, we proactively elevated wage charges in June to draw and retain the perfect expertise.
The meals beverage and lodging value improve now we have carried out, mixed with ongoing effectivity packages have enabled us to partially offset the inflationary pressures. In truth, our meals and beverage value ratios in our UK homes within the quarter have been 3% higher than the identical interval pre-pandemic.
Shifting now to Different contribution, which we outline as Different revenues plus non-Home membership income much less different working bills, was $5.3 million in comparison with a lack of $13.9 million for fourth quarter 2020. This enchancment was pushed by robust development of our Different income and particularly, the contribution from Soho Dwelling public eating places and the LINE and Saguaro.
The capitalization desk exhibits our place as on the finish of This autumn, 2021. We ended the 12 months with $221 million of money and money equivalents and web debt of $382.4 million. Throughout the quarter, there was an $8 million fee to pay again debt inside our Barcelona three way partnership, a $4 million settlement of a promissory observe and in addition, a $4 million employment tax-related funds, which have been delayed as a result of pandemic.
Excluding financing, money utilization within the quarter associated to the diminishing impression of membership credit, in addition to the continuing impression of capability limitations at our homes because of COVID-related restrictions in some location, for instance, Amsterdam and Hong Kong. Moreover, there was capital expenditure on our digital platform and routine capital expenditure to help the continuing reopening of the homes.
And eventually from me, we stay assured in regards to the general restoration of our MCG Group revenues given the optimistic momentum of This autumn 2021 carrying via into Q1 2022. Our February 2022 revenues in our UK and US homes and eating places, carried out 15% and three% above the comparative 2019 pre-pandemic ranges respectively.
Whole MCG membership elevated by an extra 6% within the first two months of the quarter. Along with our high-level member retention, report waitlist numbers and development from new homes, membership continues to be a really helpful recurring income stream.
We have now accelerated our pipeline for web site openings in 2022 to 9 Soho Homes, protecting 4 new nations. Within the first quarter of 2022, we could have opened two new homes in Nashville and Brighton. This might be adopted in April by Holloway Home in West Hollywood. For fiscal 2023 onwards, we now goal to open eight to 10 new Soho Homes each year.
With the elevated homes in our pipeline mixed with the unprecedented demand for our memberships, we really feel assured in exceeding our Soho Home membership targets this 12 months by 25%. We stay cautious in regards to the emergence of any future COVID-19 variants together with continued inflationary pressures, significantly in power provide.
Nevertheless, now we have a number of value management packages in progress to counter a few of these pressures. However these headwinds, we anticipate to ship sustained margin development throughout the short-term and past.
And now, I will go you again to Nick.
Nick Jones
In abstract, it has been a robust quarter regardless of the brand new variant. And we proceed to be very excited in regards to the future. We now have appreciable momentum. Because of quite a few elements: the continuing bounce again from the pandemic but in addition the best membership waitlist now we have ever had with purposes constructing steadily and the immense loyalty that our members have demonstrated.
We have now a really clear path to deal with development with 9 new Soho Homes this 12 months, and an asset-light technique, which can drive free money movement. And our wider Soho Home ecosystem will proceed to yield additional income and margin enlargement alongside development of our current home openings.
I would like to complete by thanking all of the individuals who work for the MCG all over the world for his or her ardour resilience and onerous work, in going through the problems of the previous 12 months and our members and buyers for all their help within the final quarter and within the coming quarters forward.
I would additionally wish to take this chance to thank Humera, our Chief Monetary Officer, who’ll be leaving the corporate on the 14th of June 2022. Humera performed an instrumental position in main our IPO course of and the journey in direction of changing into a public firm. She has been a useful adviser to the management staff and to me personally and her experience, information, wit and energy might be missed by us all. I want her each success sooner or later.

Nick Jones
So I imply we at all times take a look at each alternative, which comes our method. And a metropolis like Copenhagen, we did not need to put an enormous home in there, so we needed to place a medium home in there. So we have been looking out at for a really very long time. It simply so occurred that one grew to become obtainable within the good state – house within the final six months. And the identical has occurred in Bangkok. We’re very enthusiastic about increasing in Asia and we have been – Bangkok has been an enormous goal metropolis for us. Our CWH membership works extremely effectively in each these cities. And thru that they – our members have helped us discover these websites and safe these websites.

Simply so as to add on to Nick’s reply is the opposite factor that we have clearly executed is we have beefed up numerous our growth groups.

We’re – opening six final 12 months actually gave us numerous learnings. So we have a transparent playbook. So truly when alternatives do come alongside we will transfer tremendous fast now and execute to a extremely excessive degree. So that is what truly is giving us the additional confidence of delivering the eight to 10 versus the 5 to seven beforehand guided. I hope that is sensible.

However in the long term, that is the goal that we have at all times set will nonetheless be sustained. And once we take a look at potential labor value will increase, and also you’re proper, in a rustic like Copenhagen, that the labor prices are larger, however we would anticipate to have the ability to go these on via the membership costs and in addition the F&B costs. So we do attempt to make our underwriting and our forward-looking mannequin based mostly on the identical maturation curve. In North America, there are additionally plus and minuses. So in North America, the membership payment continues to be larger than the remainder of the world. And so we do anticipate to see softer margin ramp-up in North America. However on the entire, the expectation is that, that margin profile will stay the identical. After which your subsequent query was round…
Nick Jones
Pre-opening.
Humera Afzal
The pre-opening value?
Joe Greff
Pre-opening bills and non-cash hire, sure.
Humera Afzal
We will dig into the mannequin a bit later once we’ve received — I feel we have a one-on-one name with you.
Joe Greff
Okay. Nice. After which, Andrew, on Soho Dwelling, I hoped you can provide us a magnitude of income {dollars} within the fourth quarter in fiscal ’21 and maybe, in case you can share with us the way you anticipate that to develop in ’22.
Andrew Carnie
Sure. Good query, Joe. I am not going to provide the income numbers. We will focus on that once we catch up. What we’re seeing is, we have seen, over the previous three years, tremendous excessive comps. I can confidently say they may proceed via this 12 months and subsequent. It is a very, very excessive development enterprise. It is yielding very nice margins, as I stated on my prerecorded script, so it is actually enhancing the integral profitability of the second half. It should proceed to take action in a a lot greater method as we go ahead.
Joe Greff
Thanks.
Operator
And there aren’t any additional cellphone questions right now. I’ll flip the decision over to our presenters for any net questions.
Greg Feehely
Okay. We have a few questions on-line right here. I will simply learn them out. How have value rises that you’ve got enacted been acquired by members, is the primary query that now we have.
Nick Jones
Effectively, I will take that. Perhaps Humera and Andrew will chip in. Our members are very understanding about what is going on on on the earth. They perceive the value of meals, gas goes up. And we’re very accountable how we go it on to our members. However they perceive it, and now we have not seen any negativeness from our members on this.
Humera Afzal
Yeah, we have not actually seen any drop-off when it comes to volumes, when it comes to in-house revenues. Our ADRs proceed to be robust throughout North America and the UK. RevPAR is definitely trending above the place it was in This autumn ’19, throughout each North America and the UK. So we’re assured that the value will increase have landed effectively.
Greg Feehely
Okay. We have now another query on-line. Would you be opening Soho Home in additional main cities within the US, for instance, Boston?
Nick Jones
Sure is the reply to that. I imply, we’re taking a look at Boston closely as we’re with Atlanta and different cities in America. I imply, as , America is — America and Soho Home have an incredible relationship. And once we do go into cities, like now we have executed with Nashville and Austin during the last, type of, since June final 12 months they’ve been acquired extremely effectively and the membership numbers are actually spectacular. So, sure, is the reply to that.
Greg Feehely
And now we have one other query on-line. Do you’ve information on member utilization and visits? And if that is monitoring forward versus pre-pandemic occasions?
Andrew Carnie
Sure. So I will take that one. Sure, we do. We have now numerous information on our members. And what we noticed in February was, sure, we — our members are growing their visits per home on a month-to-month foundation in February in comparison with 2019 and their common spend in the home is barely larger. Now you’d anticipate that a little bit bit on the pricing items that we have put via however they’re spending barely greater than this.
However the different key issue right here is we’re getting much more spend from our members to our new companies like Soho Works. We have now over 5,000 Soho Works members now and so they’re all present Soho Home members. They’re bolting on one other membership. After which moreover Soho Dwelling 75% of all our gross sales in Soho Dwelling are Soho Home members.
So all of it goes again to that getting an even bigger share of pockets from our present members from our new companies, but in addition driving our members into the homes extra typically via higher occasion programming nice meals, nice providers to achieve extra spend and extra frequency of go to. So, sure, we’re seeing these developments and we’re very centered on them as we go ahead.
Greg Feehely
And another Soho Home location query. Are we trying in Singapore?
Nick Jones
We’re trying in Singapore. We have come shut a few occasions on a number of websites, however they have not come off. I imply I simply do need to type of say that members love new homes. They actually — our present members love visiting the brand new homes. And the area people and the native membership actually works within the areas that homes do open. And Soho Home is all about taking care of our present members and including new members. And I feel the staff are doing an unimaginable job globally in all these areas.
Greg Feehely
We have now an extra query about what’s our technique given the present scenario in Hong Kong?
Nick Jones
Effectively, the technique is we’re on it day-after-day with the staff. We’re hoping that in April issues will open up extra. And now we have nice hope for Hong Kong sooner or later. We have now a really sturdy membership on the market. They might love to make use of the home extra if they might. And it is a good looking home. So we’re assured in regards to the future.
Humera Afzal
We’re trying on the value base in Hong Kong as effectively. Volumes have dropped off given the restrictions in exercise there. So among the issues that we’re taking a look at is negotiating the hire as a result of that is a hard and fast value. And we’re additionally taking a look at subletting flooring that maybe are underutilized. So whether or not it’s type of brief to mid-term lets the place we will convey again among the prices.
Greg Feehely
We have now no additional questions on-line.
Operator
And there aren’t any additional cellphone questions right now. I will flip the decision over to Mr. Nick Jones for any closing feedback.
Nick Jones
