Co-working giant WeWork Inc. lost US$ 2.1 billion in the first quarter of 2021. In a rough calculation, WeWork lost 1 in 4 customers during that quarterly period. The first-quarter losses include Adam Neumann’s settlement earlier this year. Net loss was US $2.062 billion for the first quarter of 2021. Free cash flow was negative US$ 663 million for the first quarter.

The company still has a major footprint in commercial real estate. As of March 2021, WeWork’s global real estate portfolio included 774 locations across 38 countries.

Once a darling of SoftBank Group Corporation, WeWork sees promise in BowX Acquisition to go public.
