Table of Contents Our Business Model We monetize our global platform through a variety of solutions, mainly by selling memberships but also by providing ancillary value-added products and services to our members and extending our platform beyond offering workspace. Currently, we derive the majority of our revenue from recurring monthly membership fees, which accounted for approximately 83% of total revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our range of workspace solutions enables us to serve the distinct needs of individuals and organizations of all sizes, from global citizens to global enterprises. Our membership and service revenue also includes revenue from business services purchased by our members, such as conference rooms and printing credits, and from commissions on the sale to our members of additional products and services offered by us or in conjunction with partners, which, together, accounted for approximately 5% of total revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The remaining 12% of total revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2019 represented revenue we generated from additional products and services that we deliver through our suite of We Company offerings. These services, which are dedicated to improving our members’ experience, allow us to further connect with our members, driving higher retention, which attracts valuable third-party partners who can utilize our platform to reach our large member base. Lifecycle of a Location and Factors Affecting Our Performance Our business is built on a global platform of physical locations where we offer access to workstations in exchange for membership fees. Over the past several years, we have demonstrated a track record of scaling our geographic footprint and our membership base while monetizing our open locations, in particular as they reach maturity. The lifecycle of a location refers to the process by which we source, build out and operate the location through our global-local playbook. We categorize this process into five phases: find, sign, build, fill and run. As of June 1, 2019. “Find” phase includes locations that are the subject of either a term sheet exchanged (whether or not executed) or a draft lease agreement exchanged (but not yet executed). Historically, not all locations that are the subject of a term sheet or a draft lease agreement will become the subject of a signed lease agreement. “Sign” phase includes locations that are the subject of a lease agreement that has been signed but with respect to which we have not taken possession and no lease cost expense has been recognized. “Build” phase includes locations that are the subject of a lease agreement that has been signed and with respect to which we have taken possession and lease cost expense has been recognized, but which have not yet opened to members. “Fill” phase includes locations that have been open to members for 24 months or less. “Run” phase includes locations that have been open to members for more than 24 months. (1) For locations in the Find, Sign or Build phase, the number of workstations presented above represents our estimate of workstation capacity based on building information modeling (BIM) software that applies our design criteria for a given market to available plans and building scans. (2) For locations in the Fill and Run phase, the number of workstations presented above represents the number of workstations available for sale and immediate use by members. 78
