Table of Contents As we expand, we continue to add new members at a strong pace while also strengthening our relationships with existing members. Of the new memberships added in 2018, 35% were attributable to organizations that were already members at the end of 2017. Across our member community, we have high retention rates and expanding relationships, reflecting high member satisfaction with our platform. Membership Retention (1) Our net membership retention rate of 119% for the period from December 1, 2017 to December 1, 2018 illustrates our ability to increase the penetration of our existing members over that period. We calculate our net membership retention rate for a given period by dividing (1) the total number of WeWork memberships as of the last day in the period from all members that had at least one WeWork membership as of the first day of the period by (2) the total number of WeWork memberships from those same members as of the first day of the period. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Our Business Model”. Large enterprises are increasingly recognizing the value proposition of our global platform. With our space-as-a-service model, we can provide a headquarters in London, a satellite office in Beijing, Berlin or Buenos Aires, or a group of on-demand workstations across San Francisco. Through our variety of space solutions, we can meet an enterprise’s distinct needs on a flexible and cost-effective basis with availability around the world. We help amplify and energize an enterprise’s culture, sparking innovation, enhancing productivity and helping the organization attract and retain talent. As of June 1, 2019, 40% of our memberships were with organizations with more than 500 employees (which we refer to as enterprise members), double the 20% as of March 1, 2017. We have more than 3,500 enterprise members as of June 1, 2019 and we expect enterprise to continue to be our fastest growing membership type. Between March 1, 2017 and June 1, 2019, the average number of WeWork memberships per enterprise member grew 281%. 130
