The collapse of the US office space industry may soon have its first casualty.
According to WeWork’s second-quarter earnings release, as highlighted in their Quarterly Report, there are significant concerns about the company’s ability to continue operating due to losses, projected cash needs, member churn, and current liquidity levels. WeWork’s future as a going concern is dependent on successfully executing a plan to improve liquidity and profitability, which includes actions such as rent and tenancy cost reductions, revenue increase through reduced member churn and new sales, expense control, and seeking additional capital through debt or equity securities or asset sales.
These concerns follow the resignations of WeWork’s CEO and Chair, Sandeep Mathrani, and CFO and Treasurer. Additionally, several members of the board have also stepped down.
In the second quarter, WeWork reported a loss of $351 million from operations and a net loss of $397 million. However, after factoring in gains from lease terminations, the adjusted quarterly loss was only $36 million.
Further details on WeWork’s outstanding debt can be found in the company’s 10-K.
The majority of WeWork’s outstanding debt resulted from a restructuring transaction in May, reducing the principal owed and extending maturity dates to 2027. However, the current going-concern warning suggests that the restructuring may not have effectively addressed the company’s financial challenges.
