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 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 outstanding debt; its outstanding
indebtedness; its liquidity needs to operate its business and execute its
strategy, and related use of cash; its ability to raise capital through equity
issuances, asset sales or the incurrence of debt; WeWork's expectations
regarding its ability to continue as a going concern; WeWork's preparation of
its financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2023; retail and
credit market conditions; higher cost of capital and borrowing costs;
impairments; its current and projected liquidity needs; changes in general
economic conditions, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the
conflict in Ukraine; WeWork's expectations regarding its exits of
underperforming locations, including the timing of any such exits and our
ability to retain our members; delays in customers and prospective
customers returning to the office and taking occupancy, or changes in the
preferences of customers and prospective customers with respect to remote
or hybrid working, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic leading to a parallel
delay, or potentially permanent change, in receiving the corresponding
revenue; the impact of foreign exchange rates on WeWork's financial
performance; 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
undertakes no duty or obligation to update or revise these forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or
otherwise, except as required by law.
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 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. Except as may be required by law, WeWork assur no obligation to
update the information in this presentation.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation includes certain financial measures not presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States ("GAAP"): Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to WeWork
Inc., Free Cash Flow and Building Margin. 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 historical GAAP counterparts are included in the Appendix to this
presentation. 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, Israel, South Africa and Common Desk
This presentation includes operating metrics (including number of locations,
workstation capacity, and memberships) relating to (A) WeWork's
investments and operations in China, India, Israel, and South Africa which are
not consolidated, and (B) certain locations in the United States where
WeWork's operations are under the "Common Desk" brand and WeWork
receives a management fee (and does not recognize other revenue or incur
any operating costs) which are also not consolidated (the "Unconsolidated
Common Desk Locations"). Therefore, the results of WeWork's operations in
China, India, Israel, and South Africa as well as the Unconsolidated Common
Desk Locations 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 and March 2023, WeWork closed
a franchise agreement and transferred the building operations and obligation
of its Israel and South African locations, respectively, to a third-party
franchisee. As sult, Israel and South Africa results of operations have been
included through May 2021 and February 2023, respectively, and excluded
from subsequent financial results. Unless otherwise explicitly specified in
this presentation, India, China, Israel and South Africa related metrics are
excluded from all calculations.
Trademarks

Preliminary Financial Information
We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted

period or otherwise.
