WeWork Overview
WeWork's latest audited public annual revenue is FY2022 revenue of $3.245 billion, with a $2.034 billion net loss before the later bankruptcy. The company filed for Chapter 11 in November 2023 and emerged as a private company on June 11, 2024. John Santora became CEO effective June 12, 2024, and the current strategy is focused on a smaller, more disciplined, asset-light flexible-workspace platform.
How WeWork Makes Money
WeWork makes money from workspace memberships, private offices, enterprise workspace solutions, meeting rooms, management agreements, revenue-sharing partnerships, and workplace services. Before bankruptcy, the core model depended on long-term master leases and short-term memberships. After restructuring, WeWork is emphasizing lower-risk partnerships where landlords share more of the real estate exposure.

Competitive Position
WeWork competes with IWG, Regus, Spaces, Industrious, Convene, landlord-operated flex brands, traditional brokers, and direct office leasing. The company no longer has the cheap-capital advantage it had in the 2010s, so its defense now depends on operations, brand, location quality, and landlord partnerships.
