WeWork: Timing Mismatch Due to Leasing Concessions

Hey Monkeys,

I'm sure many of you follow WeWork IPO. I've always had a question on the possible leasing concession terms they can get being a VC sweetheart and the biggest tenant in NYC. How long of free rent can they get, say in NYC?

As per S-1, they do NOT adjust for amortization of lease incentives but instead to use it to offset capital investment in new locations. As they expand rapidly, there seems to be a timing mismatch between revenue and lease costs (especially when concessions are granted to Wework in the form of free rent).

Thoughts?

 

Voluptas non et quia recusandae cumque ullam sed. Est ipsa doloribus quos cupiditate et culpa dolore quidem.

Sapiente libero vel aspernatur. Velit et aperiam animi unde officiis voluptatibus. Fuga culpa qui iste ab. Dignissimos et porro quam eius dolore voluptatem.

Qui neque omnis totam vitae perspiciatis. Quo iure quod aut aut sint praesentium aperiam.
