One of the earliest pioneers of flexible office working, WeWork could well be facing some serious issues after it confirmed that it has serious and major concerns regarding its future.

Following years of financial worries and concerns regarding the founder of the company, Adam Neumann, WeWork was finally beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel when the replacement of Neumann, Sandeep Mathrani stepped in as CEO back in 2020.

Despite regarding its recent years as a period of “notable transformation,” Mathrani has now declared that he would be stepping down in the early parts of this year, and now, the firm that was once valued at $47 billion is now struggling to turn over a profit amid a continuing worsening state of affairs.

The Rise and Fall of WeWork

The transformation of WeWork as you should know could not have come at a worse time.

And in the years that followed, many have continued to work remotely while several companies on the other hand have adopted a hybrid working routine that has let them to cut back on office space, and this is including coworking spaces.

WeWork Declared a Net Loss of $397 Million on a Revenue Of $844 Million

WeWork in its most recent quarterly report, reportedly declared a net loss of $397 million on a revenue of $844 million, despite a year-on-year increase in revenue from a reported $815 million. The stock of WeWork is valued at $0.21 at the moment, which is down from a 2021 high of over $13.

The company in a press release stated: “…as a result of the Company’s losses and projected cash needs, combined with increased member churn and current liquidity levels, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.”

The occupancy rate of WeWork as of June 30, stood at 72% with revenue per each member up 4% in contrast with the same period in the previous year.
