Our ability to continue to grow depends not only on the availability of new locations, but also on our ability to secure those new locations on attractive lease terms. The terms of our lease agreements, such as favorable tenant improvement allowances that reduce our net capital expenditures in the build phase, drive the visibility, timing and magnitude of our expected cash flows and future capital needs. Our ability to continue to grow our global footprint efficiently, through favorable lease terms, will materially impact our financial performance. Build • 195,000 potential workstations (10% of total) as of June 1, 2019 • Take possession of a location • No revenue or contribution margin is generated • Majority of capital expenditures are incurred • Investments generate losses as we incur growth and new market development expenses (related to non-capitalized component of design and construction teams) and sales and marketing expenses (to drive future memberships) We aim to develop vibrant and welcoming spaces for our members that are cost-efficient to build and cost-effective to maintain. Even before we take possession of a space, we engage with engineers, designers, architects, layout experts and decorators to be ready to start the construction of a space the moment we take possession. As we have refined this process, we have been able to significantly reduce the time we take to build-out a location, with locations typically opening approximately four to six months after we take possession. We incur the majority of our gross capital expenditures to build out our spaces during this phase. Since 2015, we have launched a number of initiatives to reduce our net capex per workstation added, which represents our gross capital expenditures less the tenant improvement allowances we are entitled to receive from landlords. These initiatives include developing a global supply chain, clustering in cities allowing us to leverage economies of scale in those cities and bringing certain functions and technologies in house. Our ability to maintain or reduce our net capex per workstation added will have a significant impact on the overall investment required to continue to grow our business at an accelerated pace. 81
