Vacasa Reports Record Third Quarter 2021 Results

Vacasa, North America's leading vacation rental management platform, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Third Quarter 2021 Highlights:

• Record-Setting Third Quarter Financial Results Far Exceed Targets; Raising Full-year 2021 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Guidance and Strong Confidence that Full-year 2022 Revenue Finishes Above Target. Third quarter 2021 Gross Booking Value, Revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA all finished at their highest levels ever and 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. Based on the continued strong consumer demand trends, we are raising our full-year 2021 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance. Further, we have high confidence that our full-year 2022 Revenue will finish ahead of the target as the favorable secular tailwinds in the industry likely persist, allowing occupancy and Gross Booking Value per Night Sold to remain above pre-pandemic levels.

• Revenue Finishes Ahead of Target on Record Gross Booking Value. Gross Booking Value reached $776 million in the third quarter, up 97% year-over-year. As a result, Revenue reached an all-time high of $330 million in the third quarter, up 77% year-over-year and $72 million, or 28%, above the target of $258 million.

• Over 1.8 Million Nights Sold. There were more than 1.8 million Nights Sold in the third quarter compared to 1.1 million in the third quarter of 2020. We continued to see strong demand for vacation rentals during our seasonally strongest quarter. Through our internally developed, technology-driven pricing strategies, we were able to drive Gross Booking Value per Night Sold to a record setting $422, up 19% year-over-year.

• Net Income. Net Income in the third quarter was $33 million compared to $9 million in the third quarter of 2020.

• Topline Outperformance Results in Adjusted EBITDA Beat and Demonstrates Inherent Operating Model Leverage. Third quarter 2021 Adjusted EBITDA was $57 million compared to $25 million in the third quarter of 2020 and above the target of $26 million. The $31 million outperformance on Adjusted EBITDA relative to the target was attributable to stronger than projected Revenue and demonstrates the underlying earnings and margin power of our business. Additionally, some of the investments we expected to make in the third quarter, funded by the outperformance in the second and third quarter, are now being made in the fourth quarter primarily due to the timing of our brand advertising campaign.

• Raising Full-year 2021 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Guidance. Based on the trends we've seen to date, we've raised our full-year 2021 Revenue guidance, and now expect Revenue to be in a range of $872 million to $877 million, with the range more than $100 million, or 16%, above our target of $757 million. We've also raised our full-year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to be in a range of negative $45 million to negative $40 million, which is about 10% to 20% better than our target of negative $49 million.

• Full-year 2022 Outlook. As we approach the end of 2021, we believe that the favorable consumer demand trends will persist into 2022. Given these trends, as well as our growth investments, we have increased confidence that we will finish ahead of the full-year 2022 Revenue target driven by relatively higher occupancy and Gross Booking Value per Night Sold.

• Favorable Shifts in Consumer Behavior. Our business continues to perform exceptionally well, driven by a combination of shifting consumer preferences toward vacation rentals and outstanding execution across our entire organization. We expect the consumer preference shift toward vacation rentals, which materializes in our strong occupancy and higher Gross Booking Value per Night Sold, to be enduring rather than transitory. We've seen massive trial of the category over the past 18 months; nearly 20% of guests stayed in a vacation rental for the first time between March 2020 and March 2021 according to a Skift Study and recent industry reports suggest trial could be even higher. Additionally, guests are having an outstanding experience with short-term rentals; 86% of guests plan to continue booking vacation rentals post-pandemic according to VRM Intel and 52% of guests would prefer to stay in a vacation rental over a hotel post-pandemic according to a Skift Study. Finally, we expect a continuation of favorable secular trends such as "work from anywhere" and expanded use cases of vacation rentals. While the consumer preference shift towards vacation rentals has been a decade in the making, the environment over the past 18 months has accelerated adoption. We believe the consumer demand environment will remain above pre-pandemic levels, which gives us the confidence to accelerate investments in the business and raise our full-year 2021 financial guidance. It also increases our confidence that full-year 2022 Revenue will finish above our target.

• Product Updates. We recently released our AI-driven Itinerary Based Pricing algorithm update, which is another custom-built technology tool that allows Vacasa to maximize income for its homeowners. We also will begin to more broadly roll out Vacasa Smart Home technology across our portfolio, which leverages proprietary, in-home technology devices to create an elevated guest experience, enables local teams to support homes remotely, and drive operational efficiencies. Finally, we added a Probability of Booking feature to our homeowner portal to help homeowners understand the probability of a guest booking their home on a given night along with the projected associated income. This enables homeowners to make informed decisions regarding when to leave their calendars open for guests in order to maximize revenue. We have a deep product roadmap and will continue to invest in engineers to improve our technology offering and, in turn, all facets of the homeowner and guest experience.

• Transaction Update. TPGS and Vacasa currently expect to close the proposed business combination with Vacasa Holdings in the fourth quarter of 2021. Vacasa, Inc.'s registration statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 10, 2021. We expect TPGS' shareholder vote to take place on November 30, 2021 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time. The closing of the business combination is subject to shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions.

Management Remarks on the Third Quarter

"We generated record results in the third quarter, driven by a combination of consumers' continued desire to travel, the ongoing preference shift towards vacation rentals, and strong execution across our entire organization," said Matt Roberts, CEO. "While guest demand is the leading driver of our outperformance, we've had solid supply additions through both our individual and portfolio approaches in 2021. We now have more than 35,000 homes on our platform, in-line with the expectations we outlined when we announced our transaction with TPGS, and are the largest vacation rental management platform in North America."

"A strong consumer demand environment allowed us to achieve high occupancy and record levels of Gross Booking Value per Night Sold, up 19% year-over-year, leading to third quarter Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA coming in well ahead of our targets," said Jamie Cohen, CFO of Vacasa. "As we indicated in September, we are investing the outperformance from the second and third quarters back into the business during the fourth quarter through a brand advertising campaign and a pull forward of hiring to drive growth as we enter 2022. Even with the investments in the fourth quarter, we are still expecting to deliver full-year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA about 10% to 20% better than our target."

"With the business performing exceptionally well, we are raising our Revenue guidance and now expect full-year 2021 Revenue to come in more than $100 million ahead of our initial target," said Roberts. "Based on everything we've seen to date, we are more confident that occupancy and Gross Booking Value per Night Sold will remain above pre-pandemic levels in 2022. As a result of this and the investments we are making, we expect full-year 2022 Revenue to finish ahead of our target and look forward to sharing a more detailed 2022 outlook when we report fourth quarter results."

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 income (loss) or any other financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of the Company's Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts and is not provided herein because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that are made for depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, equity-based compensation expense, business combination costs, restructuring charges and other adjustments reflected in our reconciliation of historical Adjusted EBITDA, the amounts of which, could be material.
