**Selina Reports Preliminary Unaudited Revenue Results for Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Fiscal 2022 and a Business Update**

Our performance in the fourth quarter and full year is a testament to our continual pursuit of delivering an exceptional guest experience and building a loyal customer base.

approximately 29,600 open bedspaces, a 27% increase in bedspaces from the prior year period

**2023 EXPANSION STRATEGY** 

Selina's expansion strategy for 2023 will focus on three key principles: opening locations that generally ramp faster in occupancy and deliver more attractive financial performance, expanding existing locations with remodels and incremental leased spaces, and leveraging its brand to receive flexible lease terms with longer grace periods while shifting to variable rent for some new locations. As such, the Company plans to open between 10 and 15 hotels in 2023. Selina has signed agreements with third-party real estate partners who have committed $300 million of capital to finance the acquisition and initial conversion of future Selina properties, including the planned 2023 openings. To help the Company achieve economies of scale, the Company will focus on expanding in the 24 countries where it already has a presence, including multi-hotel markets like Australia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Greece, Israel, Mexico, Morocco, Panama, Peru, and United States.

On January 27, 2023, Selina disclosed in its most recent investor presentation that its goals for 2023 include annual revenue growth of 30 to 40% and achieving positive Adjusted EBITDA and operating cash flow.

While Selina will continue to expand its footprint in 2023, the current expansion plan demonstrates that the company is both focused on cash flow and remains deeply committed to delivering an incredible experience to hotel guests and the local communities at our unique hotels throughout the world, which in turn drives revenue. The current expansion plan also shows that Selina is intensely focused on its cost structure and cash flow in order to position the company for achieving and sustaining positive Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Flow going forward.

**KEY METRICS** 

Management uses a number of operating and financial metrics, including the following key business metrics, to evaluate Selina's business, measure Selina's performance, identify trends affecting Selina's business, formulate financial projections and business plans, and make strategic decisions. Management regularly reviews and may adjust Selina's processes for calculating Selina's internal metrics to improve their accuracy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We define our **occupancy rate** as the number of beds sold divided by the total number of open beds, over any
given period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Open beds** reflects the total number of beds in inventory at opened properties at the end of any given
period. As our properties have the ability to convert rooms into different bed configurations, the total number of open beds may fluctuate at any given location over any given period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Average daily open beds** is calculated as the total number of beds in inventory over any given period of
time on a daily basis. This metric reflects Selina's daily accommodations capacity and is used in the calculation of occupancy rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We define **TRevPOB** as total revenue, excluding Remote Year revenue, for any given property, for any given
period, divided by the number of beds sold in that same period. This measure removes the impact of occupancy, as it reflects total revenue on a per occupied bed basis. Changes in this metric reflect the variability in our business arising from our
ability to change room and bed configurations based on demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We define **TRevPOBs** as total revenue, excluding Remote Year revenue, for any given property, for any given
period, divided by the number of bedspaces sold in that same period. The number of bedspaces sold is determined by multiplying the occupancy rate for any given period by the average of the total number of open bedspaces at the beginning and end of
that period. This measure removes the impact of occupancy, as it reflects total revenue on a per occupied bedspace basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Total revenue per bedspace** is calculated as total revenue, excluding Remote Year revenue, for any given
property, for any given period, divided by the average of the total number of open bedspaces at the beginning and end of that period. Management views total revenue per bedspace as a useful measure of comparing performance between locations or
cohorts over time, as well as providing an indication of future revenue potential as we continue to grow total bedspaces.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The number of **open bedspaces** reflects the total number of bedspaces at opened properties at the end of any
given period. Bedspaces is a metric we use to measure the potential sleeping capacity of a given property. It is a static capacity measure, and not one reflecting actual capacity in a given period. Every 5.5m<sup>2</sup> of accommodation (sleeping room) area in a property equals one bedspace. Our rooms are designed to be convertible into different modalities and with distinct bed configurations. We offer
"Standard" accommodations with one double bed, "Twins" accommodations with two single beds, "Family" accommodations with space designed to accommodate up to four people, and "Community" accommodations with
space designed to accommodate up to eight people. At the discretion of property managers, the double bed in a "Standard" accommodation can be replaced with a bunk bed for eight guests, for example. Accordingly, management views the number
of bedspaces, instead of the number of physical beds, as the static measure of property capacity because it avoids potentially misleading fluctuations that would arise from the changing room configurations in any given property.

![LOGO](g390475g0303002117829.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **EBITDA** is defined as IFRS net profit (loss) excluding impact of income taxes, net interest expense
(finance income and costs), and depreciation and amortization. **Adjusted EBITDA** is defined as EBITDA, excluding (i) non-operating income (expense), such as gain on net monetary position, share of
profit/(loss) in associates, other non-operating income / (expense), and income from COVID-related concessions, (ii) impairment losses, (iii) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (iv) non-recurring public company readiness costs, and (v) provision for tax risks that are non-income tax related

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Operating Cash Flow** is defined as Net Cash used in Operating Activities in the IFRS Consolidated Statement
of Cash Flows
