WeWork just warned it might fail, signaling commercial real estate is in serious trouble
What's going on at WeWork?"As a result of the company's losses and projected cash needs, combined with increased member churn and current liquidity levels,The shared-workspace giant said it can only stay in business if it improves its liquidity and profitability over the next 12 months. Its bosses plans to lower its rent and tenancy costs by restructuring and negotiating better lease terms, and boost its revenue by attracting and retaining members.
"Excess supply in commercial real estate, increasing competition in flexible space and macroeconomic volatility drove higher member churn and softer demand than we anticipated, resulting in a slight decline in memberships," he said. Those headwinds dragged on WeWork's financials last quarter. It reported a net loss of $1.1 billion on revenues of $1.6 billion last quarter, and its operating cash outflow exceeded $500 million in the first half of this year. It also had less than $700 million of liquidity at the end of June, comprising $205 million of cash, and $475 million of borrowing capacity. That compares to nearly $900 million of current lease obligations, and over $13 billion in long-term lease obligations.
