Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this presentation may be deemed
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These
forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words
"believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend,"
"strategy," "future," "opportunity," "plan," "pipeline," "may," "should,"
"will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar
expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections
and other statements about future events that are based on current
expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Although WeWork Inc. ("WeWork") believes the
expectations reflected in any forward-looking statement are based on
reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations
will be attained, and it is possible that actual results may differ
materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements
due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. Such factors
include, but are not limited to, WeWork's ability to refinance, extend,
restructure or repay near and intermediate term debt; its indebtedness;
its ability to raise capital through equity issuances, asset sales or the
incurrence of new debt; retail and credit market conditions;
impairments; its liquidity demand; changes in general economic
conditions, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; delays in
customers and prospective customers returning to the office and taking
occupancy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the emergence of
variants leading to a parallel delay in receiving the corresponding
revenue; and WeWork's inability to implement its business plan or meet
or exceed its financial projections. Forward-looking statements speak
only as of the date they are made. WeWork discusses these and other
risks and uncertainties in its annual and quarterly periodic reports and
other documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. WeWork may update that discussion in its periodic reports
or as otherwise required by law, but otherwise takes no duty or
obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future developments, or
otherwise.
Use of Data
This presentation contains information concerning WeWork's solutions
and WeWork's industry, including market size and growth rates of the
markets in which WeWork participates, that are based on industry
surveys and publications or other publicly available information, other
third-party survey data and research reports commissioned by WeWork
1
and its internal sources. This information involves many assumptions
and limitations. There can be no guarantee as to the accuracy or
reliability of such assumptions and you are cautioned not to give undue
weight to this information. Further, no representation is made as to the
reasonableness of the assumptions made by third parties or the
accuracy or completeness of any projections or modeling or any other
information contained herein. Any data on past performance of WeWork
or modeling contained herein is not an indication as to future
performance. WeWork has not independently verified any such
third-party information. Similarly, other third-party survey data and
research reports commissioned by WeWork, while believed by WeWork to
be reliable, are based on limited sample sizes and have not been
independently verified by WeWork. In addition, projections,
assumptions, estimates, goals, targets, plans and trends of the future
performance of the industry in which WeWork operates, and WeWork's
future performance, are necessarily subject to uncertainty and risk due
to a variety of factors, including those described above. These and other
factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in
the estimates made by independent parties and by WeWork. WeWork
assumes no obligation to update the information in this presentation.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics
This presentation includes certain financial measures not presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States ("GAAP"), including Adjusted EBITDA and Building Margin
(including on a forward-looking basis). These financial measures are not
measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may
exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing our
financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in
isolation or as an alternative to net loss or other measures of
profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware
that our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures used by other companies, which may be
defined and calculated differently. WeWork believes that these non-GAAP
measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking basis)
provide useful supplemental information to investors about WeWork.
WeWork's management uses forward-looking non-GAAP measures to
evaluate WeWork's projected financials and operating performance.
Reconciliations of historical non-GAAP measures to their most directly
comparable GAAP counterparts are included in the Appendix to this
presentation. Additionally, to the extent that forward-looking non-GAAP
financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non-GAAP
basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP
measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying
certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations.
India, China and Israel
This presentation includes operating metrics (including number of
locations, desks, and memberships) relating to WeWork's investments
and operations in China and India, which are not consolidated.
Therefore, the results of WeWork's operations in China and India are not
reflected in the WeWork financial statements and projections set forth
in this presentation on a line-by-line basis, as such operations are not
conducted through consolidated subsidiaries or controlling interests of
WeWork. In June 2021, WeWork closed a franchise agreement and
transferred the building operations and obligations of its Israel
locations to the franchisee. Israel results of operations have been
included through May 2021, and excluded from subsequent projections.
Unless otherwise explicitly specified in this presentation, India, China
and Israel related metrics are excluded from all calculations.
Trademarks
This presentation contains trademarks, service marks, trade names and
copyrights of WeWork and other companies, which are the property of
their respective owners.
Preliminary Financial Information
We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. All projected financial information and
metrics in this presentation are preliminary. These estimates are not a
comprehensive statement of our financial position and results of
operations. There is no assurance that we will achieve our forecasted
results within the relevant period or otherwise. Actual results for Q4 2021
may differ materially from these estimates as a result of actual year-end
results, the completion of normal year-end accounting procedures and
adjustments, including the execution of our internal control over
financial reporting, the completion of the preparation and
management's review of our financial statements for the relevant period
and the subsequent occurrence or identification of events prior to the
filing of our financial results for the relevant period with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
