WeWork Resurrection

  • WeWork is trying to go public again, this time via a SPAC.
  • Below is a link to their investment deck. Lots of interesting data.
  • The company lost $1.7bn last year but expects things to improve as normal conditions return.
  • They believe a WeWork solution would save 26% vs. the cost of traditional real-estate.
  • The transaction puts enterprise value at $9bn or 6.6x adjusted 2023E EBITDA.
  • There are a lot of adjustments to EBITDA that need to be looked into and SPAC transactions have issues, but on the surface that looks a lot more reasonable than the peak valuation of $47bn.
