Now, I'll turn the call over to Francis Davidson, Sonder's Co-founder and CEO. Thanks, Jon. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. I'm happy to report on our strong third quarter 2022 results. Our remarks today will cover three areas. First, I'll provide a quick overview of our financial performance. Second, I'll provide an update on our cash flow positive plan announced on June nine. Third, I'll provide a couple of quick updates on our board. We're excited to report strong third quarter results, highlighted by sequential improvement in free cash flow before one-time restructuring costs to -$39 million versus -$45 million for the previous quarter. FCF margin also improved, reaching -31% compared to -37% in the second quarter of 2022, and -66% in the third quarter of 2021. The sequential improvement was driven by continued improvements in our cost base, somewhat muted by an expected sequential decline in RevPAR. On a year-over-year basis, our RevPAR grew by 25% to $158, and revenue grew by 85% to $125 million. Sanjay will provide additional detail on our third quarter financial performance a little later on in the call. Now, I'd like to provide an update on the progress of our cash flow positive plan, which includes four key levers. The first lever is to reduce cash costs by approximately $85 million on an annualized basis before one-time restructuring costs. This includes a restructuring plan we began executing in June, which will result in nearly $55 million in annualized cost savings versus Q1 2022 costs. We expect to largely see the run rate benefit of these cost savings in 2023. This also includes $30 million in expected annualized cash cost savings from reduced pre-opening costs and net CapEx associated with incremental units going live, given our focus on finding 100% capital-light units going forward. The second lever is proactively reducing our planned signings pace with growth in the near term, primarily, driven by opening previously contracted units. As a reminder, this enables us to lower headcount growth across the board, lower pre-opening costs and net CapEx, cut back on planned geographic expansion, and simplify the business. This will likely result in lower quarterly new signings versus what was planned prior to the cash flow positive plan, as it did in the third quarter. Additionally, we believe signings are impacted by continued macro uncertainty. This is impacting real estate developers given the substantial increase in interest rates, this year, especially in the U.S., and development cost uncertainty. At the same time, even if we sign no additional units or saw no incremental RevPAR improvements, the embedded supply growth from our previously contracted units, that are expected to go live over time implies an approximate doubling of revenue in the coming years. This brings me to our third lever, which is increasing our already high threshold for incremental unit signings by only targeting 100% capital-light deals. We're pleased to report the vast majority of Q3 signed deals met this more stringent criteria, and the goal is to achieve 100% in the fourth quarter. Our fourth and final lever is focusing efforts on improving free cash flow through rapid payback RevPAR initiatives. Given our fixed landlord payments, a small increase in RevPAR translates to a much larger increase in Cash Contribution Margin. As a result, we remain focused on several rapid payback RevPAR initiatives, including growing our new corporate travel offering. We ended Q3 with approximately 600 accounts versus 400 last quarter and 100 in Q4 of 2021. While we're still in the early stages of our corporate travel offering, we've gained traction each quarter since its launch, and we're incredibly excited about this as an opportunity to drive incremental RevPAR. We also remain focused on building out several ancillary revenue offerings, which we believe will further benefit RevPAR in 2023 and beyond. To summarize, we remain committed to reaching positive quarterly Free Cash Flow within 2023 without additional fundraising and while preserving a robust cash cushion. Before turning the call over to Sanjay, I would like to highlight a few very exciting recent additions to our board of directors. A few weeks ago, we announced that Sean Aggarwal has joined the board. Sean is currently the chair of the board of directors at Lyft and brings a deep understanding of both the real estate and technology sectors. In August, we also added Michelle Frymire to our board. Michelle served as the CEO of CWT, one of the world's largest travel management platforms, providing business travel, meetings, and event management for some of the world's biggest global companies. We believe Michelle's wealth of experience in the travel industry will bring strong contributions to our future development as a global hospitality leader. Finally, we recently announced that Sanjay will transition from his role as president and CFO to join the board at the beginning of next year. In his time as president and CFO over the past four years, Sanjay provided critical leadership for the company. He led us through multiple rounds of funding, helped stabilize and navigate the business through the COVID pandemic, and also led a successful public listing earlier this year. I believe his wealth of knowledge on our strategy and operations will make him a huge asset to the board. I also couldn't be more excited about the level of talent, industry expertise, and public company experience we've assembled on our board. Separately, we've launched a formal search process for the next CFO, and Sanjay will continue to remain in the role through the end of the year to ensure an orderly transition and support the recruitment of a new CFO. In closing, our focus remains on the execution of our cash flow positive plan to drive sustainable long-term value for all our shareholders and continue to revolutionize hospitality. With that, I will turn over the call to President and CFO, Sanjay Banker, to provide you with further details on our recent financial performance and an update on our guidance. Sanjay? Thank you, Francis, and hello, everyone. I'd like to start by saying what a great privilege it's been to serve as Sonder's president and CFO over the past four years. I have great confidence in the company, our plan, and our team. I look forward to joining the board and continuing to work with management in 2023 as a senior advisor to support the execution of the company's strategic plan. With that said, I will first provide a brief overview of our third quarter financial results, and then we'll share our guidance for the remainder of 2022. We'll then open the call to questions. Unless otherwise specified, all of the Q3 growth figures cited in my remarks are year-over-year comparisons. In the third quarter, we generated $125 million of revenue, representing an 85% increase compared to Q3 2021. Our Q3 revenue growth year-over-year was driven by our live portfolio growing 43% and RevPAR growing 25%. This quarter, key performance metrics improved year-over-year, including live units, bookable nights, occupied nights, and RevPAR. We ended the quarter with approximately 9,000 live units, representing 43% growth, driven by the conversion of contracted units into live units. This included the opening of Business Bay in Dubai, which will be our largest property ever at approximately 400 units. In Q3, we had over 786,000 bookable nights, an increase of 47%, driven by this live unit growth. At quarter end, we had over 18,900 units in our total portfolio, representing 17% year-over-year growth. RevPAR in the third quarter was $158, up 25% year-over-year, and ADR grew 3% to $189, driven by continued market recovery. Our occupancy further increased to 84%, up 1,600 basis points year-over-year. That said, I would remind everyone we are continually trying to strike the right balance between demand and rate, and therefore, we view occupancy as more of an output of this RevPAR optimization effort rather than a goal in and of itself. Looking ahead, we expect our RevPARs to continue benefiting from the recovery of urban travel, with third-party forecasters, as of September 30, anticipating full market recovery back to 2019 levels in mid-2023. Total costs and operating expenses increased by 51% to $186 million when comparing Q3 2022 to Q3 2021, inclusive of $6 million of stock-based compensation expense in the quarter. This increase in total costs and operating expenses were driven primarily by the expansion of our live units. As we noted in conjunction with the cash flow positive plan announcement in June, we are focused on free cash flow as our primary measure of financial performance. This metric aligns with how we view and manage our business internally. In the third quarter, free cash flow before one-time restructuring costs totaled -$39 million, compared to -$45 million last quarter and -$45 million a year ago. Free cash flow margin also improved, reaching -31%, compared to -37% in the second quarter of 2022 and -66% in the third quarter of 2021. The sequential improvement was driven by continued improvement in our cost base, somewhat muted by an expected sequential decline in RevPAR. Moving on, I would like to highlight cash contribution margin, which is a unit economics metric that measures property-level performance by excluding corporate and other non-property level costs. This enables us to assess the cash performance of our live property portfolio, taking into account the benefit of upfront rent abatements, which is typical in the deals we sign. In the third quarter, cash contribution margins were 22% versus 18% in the second quarter and 5% a year ago, demonstrating Sonder's unit economics equation is strong and improving. Our goal are to continue expanding these unit-level cash contribution margins, as well as increasing the size of our live portfolio to cover non-unit costs and drive to overall profitability. Free Cash Flow and Cash Contribution Margin are the primary Non-GAAP financial measures we will focus on publicly moving forward. As a result, we will not provide the reconciliations of property-level profit and Adjusted EBITDA within our shareholder letter after reporting fourth quarter 2022 results. Turning to the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2022, we had $318 million in cash and $167 million in total debt. Regarding guidance, for 2022, we expect revenue of better than $455 million, representing more than 95% year-over-year growth and better than $129 million for the fourth quarter. I would point out we are again facing notable FX headwinds in the fourth quarter relative to the exchange rates assumed when our previous 2022 annual revenue guidance of 100%-110% year-over-year growth was first introduced eight months ago. At the same time, without overstating the magnitude of this, we have seen some incremental delay in contracted units being converted to live units, which has had some impact on our expectations for bookable nights in the fourth quarter relative to previous estimates. For the second half of the year, Q3 and Q4 combined, we are reaffirming free cash flow of better than -$70 million before restructuring costs, which implies better than -$31 million in the fourth quarter. As Francis noted earlier, we remain focused on reaching positive quarterly free cash flow within 2023. As a reminder, the same as past quarters, our guidance is based on our best knowledge available from internal data and third-party forecasters and does not contemplate an extreme slowdown in demand. I would also like to call out that starting next quarter and for 2023, we will no longer be providing annual guidance, but will instead be providing revenue and Free Cash Flow guidance for the following quarter. I'll close our prepared remarks today by reiterating that our business fundamentals remain strong, and we believe our market opportunity is enormous. We are focused on driving sustainable long-term value for all of our stakeholders via our cash flow positive plan and continuing to revolutionize hospitality for all. While I will be transitioning out of my current role with Sonder at the end of the year, I want to reiterate the confidence I have in our business. I look forward to joining the board in January and continuing to partner with management to make Sonder's vision of a better traveled world a reality. We're now happy to take your questions. Operator. Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, you'll need to press star one one on your telephone. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. One moment for our first question. Our first question comes from Jed Kelly from Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. Your line is now open. Hey, thanks for taking my question. Hey, Sanjay, good luck with everything with what you do in the future. First, I guess my question is just on the guidance you called out. I guess number one, are you seeing anything with the macro or is this, you know, the RevPAR guide, I guess, sort of just all FX related? Then, number two, can you just, you know, kind of touch on where you are on the current supply ramp and the units are coming on slower than you initially thought? I mean, where do you think you are sort of in the unwinding of your supply where, you know, you start to get better visibility on that? Thanks. Yeah. Thanks, Jed. First of all, thanks for your question, and thank you for the kind words. I'll take the first part of the question around the revenue guide, and I'll pass it to Francis for the question about the supply ramp. You know, as you pointed out and as we said in the opening remarks, you know, the drivers of the revenue guide are the FX commentary we provided around the fact that FX has just moved against us. You know, we set the full year guide originally back in February to 100%-110%, and then we reaffirmed it in August. FX has been a headwind through most of the year, but especially in the period in the last few months. As we step back and we look at the impact of FX overall for the year, it's a mid- to high-single-digit million revenue impact to us. That is a big driver. It's not the only driver. We did mention that, looking to Q4, there remains some incremental pressure on Bookable Nights. You know, we discussed it previously. It's a timing issue in terms of the timeline for confirmed, signed, known projects to be handed over. Bookable Nights will be up sequentially for Q4, of course, but not as much as we had been expecting recently. When we put all that together, we, without giving explicit guidance around sort of the decomposition, you know, that's what's informing our revenue guide. It's not, to be clear, a macro issue, but really about FX and new unit timing. Yeah, let me jump in here for the second part of your question on live units. Just as a reminder, the focus really for the business, if you take anyone in the company and you ask them what is the thing that we should prioritize, it's really the cash flow positivity plan and seeing improvement in free cash flow. Live units at 9,000 is a 7% increase quarter-over-quarter, but a 43% increase year-over-year. You know, there's natural variability quarter-to-quarter, larger deals, whole buildings, and so the focus for us remains on the year-over-year. It's important also to note that there's 110% embedded growth that will come from our contracted properties, and that we have more properties that are contracted but not yet live than we have live units today. We think that the growth picture in the several quarters to come remains exciting. But it's true that in the near term, we're seeing some supply chain labor challenges on the part of our developer partners, right? As a reminder, we don't, at Sonder, actually build those properties or are responsible for renovations, but rather lean on our partners in order to do that. They're faced with, yeah, some challenges on the labor side that are leading some projects being delivered a little bit more slowly than the timetable that they'd provided us. There's a series of measures, though, that we do control on our side in order to accelerate the timeline it takes to open these properties. For example, bulk orders, having enough inventory on the balance sheet, you know, applying pressure on our partners, hiring, training, though there are many things that we also don't control given that our developer partners are responsible for construction. You know, still finding an interesting, a good number of properties, but with the higher bar, of course, with the cash flow positive plan, ensuring that those are 100% capital-light deals. The growth picture, especially given the quantity of properties that are already signed, remains really attractive in the several quarters to come. Follow up, just can you give us an update on your RevPAR initiatives? How's that trending, versus what you laid out in the past couple of calls? Thank you. Absolutely. On the corporate travel side, which is initiative that we launched in mid-2021, right, to help bolster our weekday RevPAR performance. This grew to 600 corporate accounts, and that was up from 400 in Q2. Really, exciting rapid growth on that front and still early, right, in our journey to generate increasing quantities of business corporate customers. That's one of the initiatives. Another really exciting one has been our high occupancy strategy, which we started implementing in Q1, right, after some really extensive elasticity testing that our data science team ran. Occupancy clocked in Q3 at 84%, which is really, really attractive. We managed to, of course, maintain attractive ADRs as well, and so the RevPAR numbers that ensued were, you know, drove the Cash Contribution Margin and the, you know, improvements in the margin profile of the business and the economics of the business that we were seeking. There's also other improvements that we've seen when it comes to our revenue management, you know, a series of initiatives on ancillary revenue that we're rolling out. The things that we've been discussing all year are kind of starting to land and generate, you know, meaningful results that are helping us bolster our demand. Thank you. Thank you. One moment for our next question. Our next question comes from Nicholas Jones from JMP Securities. Your line is now open. Great. Thanks for taking the questions. I guess on you know on RevPARs, and then I guess you know as it ties to your Free Cash Flow goals for next year, I think there's kind of increasing fears that ADRs and RevPARs may come under pressure next year as macro worsens. How does that impact kind of the Free Cash Flow goals, and how are you thinking about kind of ADRs and RevPARs heading into next year? I guess kind of where Sonder is positioned to kind of still hit the goals, kind of you know is it regardless of the kind of outcomes next year, or are there scenarios where it could kind of delay the Free Cash Flow goal? Yeah. I'll start, and Francis, you should jump in if I miss something. The way we think about just as a level set and as a reminder, Nick, and for those listening, the way we build our forecast is to leverage the best available third-party information that we have. We rely on third-party forecasters, STR, CBRE, and the macroeconomic work they do to develop RevPAR forecast on a city-by-city basis. We then roll that up based on our unit mix and our property mix, our portfolio mix, our anticipated mix, in order to come up with a macro view against which we then overlay our own RevPAR improvement initiatives, et cetera. That's how we come up with a forecast. As of now, those forecasts do not contemplate an extreme slowdown in consumer demand. From our perspective, you know, we build a base case forecast around that, leveraging that third party input. Of course, if there is a major macro event, that is one of the scenarios that we have to test. We test all manner of scenarios and synthesize our forecast to make sure that no matter what happens in the macro, that we have ample cash and liquidity to get to our Free Cash Flow goal over time with no incremental fundraising needs. Just to reiterate, our entire plan is built around the idea that we can be self-reliant and have no need for incremental funding, even if there is a macro downturn in order to be able to get to Free Cash Flow over time. Of course, we'll be affected by whatever the macro is, but our base case view today is that is not taking into account any slowdown in demand. Francis- Got it. Sorry. Go ahead, Nick. Oh, okay. Thanks. No, that was great. Thank you. I know corporate travel has kind of been a focus. You know, we keep seeing more and more announcements around layoffs, the reductions in force. I mean, is that showing up? Is that becoming a little more difficult to get corporate travel as I guess corporates are scrutinizing their T&E expenses? No. Francis here to answer the question. There is a very low baseline, right, in Sonder's P&L of business travel mix. Like I mentioned earlier on, the corporate travel program was launched in mid-2021. In Q1, I think we closed Q1 with 250 accounts. We had 100 in Q4 shortly after the launch of 2021. The baseline is really low. To us, as we're adding these kind of corporate accounts, hopefully a much more rapid speed than there would be any contraction of overall demand, that could be kind of a net gain for us. This is how we see the opportunity, is that there's enormous white space for our business to generate corporate travel, and we're really just getting started here. We're also taking a multi-year view when it comes to the returns on these initiatives and that you know, there's kind of a land and expand strategy. We have all these corporate accounts that are signed, but then getting an increasing share of wallet is also an important initiative. Our teams are working diligently to kind of make sure that we capture as much of that demand as possible, and it's increasing as a mix shift of our revenue as they're you know, landing more corporate accounts and getting a greater share of their spend. Thanks for answering the questions. Thank you. I'm showing no further questions. This concludes today's conference call. Thank you for participating. You may now dis-
