WeWork multitasked when it had just one job

NEW YORK, Aug 9 (Reuters Breakingviews) - WeWork (WE.N) took a decent idea and turned it into a ridiculous one. Occupancy declined and WeWork burned through another $300 million. WeWork agreed to take over loads of space when revenue was doubling each year and prices were far higher. Workspace-sharing providers can thrive again, too, if they remember that being cautious about puffing up their balance sheets is the main job. WeWork, valued at $47 billion in a private 2019 funding round, said in May it had completed a debt-for-equity recapitalization that eliminated $1.2 billion of debt.

"Our losses and negative cash flows from operating activities raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern," WeWork said in a filing with the SEC on Tuesday. The company had a net loss in the first half of the year of $700 million after losing $2.3 billion in 2022. WeWork said its revenue grew just 3.6% year over year in the second quarter and declined 4% in the U.S., where it gets 41% of its sales. In the second quarter, the company contributed $6 million of WeWork's revenue, down from $10 million in the second quarter of 2022, according to the filing. Key factors for whether WeWork can remain a going concern include limiting capital expenditures, increasing revenue and seeking capital through debt or equity issuance.

May 16 (Reuters) - WeWork Inc (WE.N) on Tuesday said that Sandeep Mathrani would step down as the workspace provider's chief executive officer, effective May 26, while Sycamore Partners named him as a director to lead its real estate activity. Mathrani was named WeWork CEO in 2020 and tasked with the company's turnaround following a botched IPO attempt and amid rising investor concerns over corporate governance standards. The company, which said Mathrani's resignation was not a result of any disagreement, named board member David Tolley as interim CEO. WeWork said lead independent director Daniel Hurwitz would serve as chairman of the board and head a special committee that will search for a permanent CEO. WeWork shares have fallen about 76% so far this year, resulting in a market capitalization of $745.42 million, according to Refinitiv data.
