ALLBIRDS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2022 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Exceeds Guidance Targets
Maintains Full Year Guidance Targets


SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., November 8, 2022 (GlobeNewswire) – Allbirds, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIRD), a global lifestyle brand that innovates with naturally derived materials to make better footwear and apparel products in a better way, today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2022 ended September 30, 2022.

Third Quarter Highlights

Net revenue increased 16% to $72.7 million year over year (YoY) and increased 54% compared to 2020.
Adjusted net revenue1 of $72.2 million increased 15% YoY, ahead of financial guidance targets.
United States (U.S.) physical retail channel sales grew 53% compared to 2021; opened six stores in the United States during the quarter and 15 since the end of 2021, ending the period with 38 locations in the United States.
GAAP net loss of $25.2 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share.
Adjusted net loss1 of $22.4 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA1 loss of $12.7 million, ahead of financial guidance targets.
Launched our 100% plastic-free, 100% vegan plant leather that produces approximately 88% less carbon than traditional bovine leather and approximately 75% less carbon than other synthetic leather alternatives.

“We delivered a strong quarter in what remains a highly dynamic operating environment. I am proud that we exceeded our Q3 adjusted revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance targets while also delivering on our sustainability goals.” said Joey Zwillinger, Co-Founder and Co-CEO. “Looking ahead to year end and 2023, we continue to expect macro headwinds to persist but believe that our brand, our growth strategy, and simplification initiatives position us well to emerge strongly from this period. Thanks to the team’s hard work I remain confident in our ability to continue to execute into the holiday season and next year.”

“November also marks the one year anniversary of our IPO, a critical step in building Allbirds into a 100 year brand while setting a new industry standard for sustainable business for others to follow. We recently released our “Flight Status” sustainability report for 2021, which shows that we were able to reduce our average product carbon footprint by 12% while growing our net revenues by 27% in 2021. We remain on track to deliver on our goal to cut our already low per product carbon footprint in half by 2025 and achieve near zero by 2030, while also delivering on our Sustainability Principles & Objectives Framework commitments first enumerated in our S-1. I could not be more proud of what we have achieved and remain tremendously optimistic about the future.”

Q3 2022 Financial and Operating Highlights
https://cdn.kscope.io/7a9c556933844f28ecba02c2248cf8cd-bird-q3highlightsa.jpg
Revenue growth and Record New Store Openings

Third Quarter Operating Results
Net revenue increased 15.9% YoY to $72.7 million and increased 53.8% compared to the third quarter of 2020. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of orders, primarily driven by retail store sales, and an increase in average order value. This was partially offset by an estimated 355 bps negative impact from foreign exchange (FX). Adjusted net revenue increased 15.1% YoY to $72.2 million, adjusted for non-recurring revenue related to end of life inventory liquidation in connection with the simplification initiatives announced last quarter.

Gross profit totaled $32.5 million compared to $33.9 million in the third quarter of 2021, and gross margin declined to 44.8% compared to 54.1% in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease in gross margin primarily reflects costs related to our simplification initiatives, higher logistics costs, and the impact of unfavorable FX rates. Excluding the impact of our simplification initiatives, adjusted gross profit1 increased 1.7% YoY to $34.5 million, and adjusted gross margin was 47.8% compared to 54.1% in the third quarter of 2021. The decline in adjusted gross margin was primarily driven by higher logistics costs and the impact of unfavorable FX rates, partially offset by a higher mix of margin accretive retail store sales.

Selling, general, and administrative expense (SG&A) was $45.4 million, or 62.5% of net revenue, compared to $33.0 million, or 52.6% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to expenses for the opening of eight new stores during the period and operational expenses for 23 additional stores opened since the third quarter of 2021, increased headcount, and recurring public company operating costs. Adjusted SG&A1 was $44.5 million, or 61.6% of adjusted net revenue, compared to $33.0 million, or 52.6% of adjusted net revenue, in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted SG&A excludes the impact of our simplification initiatives to streamline corporate operating structure.

Marketing expense totaled $12.7 million compared to $12.8 million and improved as a percentage of revenue to 17.4% from 20.4% a year ago, due to improvements in marketing efficiency.

Net loss was $25.2 million compared to $13.8 million in the third quarter of 2021, and net loss margin was 35.0% compared to 22.0% in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted for the impact of the simplification initiatives, and corresponding estimated income tax on such items, adjusted net loss was $22.4 million and adjusted net loss margin1 was 31.0%.

Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $12.7 million compared to a loss of $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2021, and adjusted EBITDA margin1 declined to (17.6)% compared to (10.1)% in the third quarter of 2021.


Nine Month Operating Results

Net revenue increased 18.5% to $213.6 million compared to $180.3 million YoY and increased 52.5% compared to the first nine months of 2020. The increase is attributable to an increase in the number of orders and an increase in average order value. This was partially offset by unfavorable FX rates that had an estimated 259 bps negative impact on net revenue. In the U.S., where net revenue increased 23.6% YoY to $164.2 million, retail store sales was the primary driver. International net revenue increased 4.1% YoY to $49.4 million, as the business was negatively impacted by external headwinds, including continuing COVID-19 restrictions in China, a decrease in discretionary consumer spending as a result of increasing inflation the crisis in Ukraine in Europe, and unfavorable FX rates that had an estimated 9.8% negative impact. Adjusted net revenue increased 18.2% to $213.1 million compared to the first nine months of 2021, adjusted for non-recurring revenue related to end of life inventory liquidation in connection with the simplification initiatives announced last quarter.

Gross profit totaled $93.3 million compared to $97.9 million in the first nine months of 2021, while gross margin declined to 43.7% versus 54.3% YoY. The decrease in gross margin primarily reflects costs related to our simplification initiatives, higher logistics costs, a lower mix of international sales, and unfavorable foreign exchange rates. Excluding the impact of our simplification initiatives to optimize inventory of $13.6 million, year-to-date adjusted gross profit increased 9.3% YoY to $106.9 million, and adjusted gross margin was 50.2% compared to 54.3% for the first nine months of 2021. The decline in adjusted gross margin primarily relates to higher distribution center and logistics costs, lower mix of international sales, and unfavorable FX rates, partially offset by a higher mix of margin accretive retail store sales.

SG&A was $125.9 million, or 58.9% of revenue, compared to $85.5 million, or 47.5% of revenue, in the first nine months of 2021, with the increase primarily driven by expenses for the opening of 19 new stores during the period and operating expenses for 23 additional stores opened since the third quarter of 2021, increased headcount, and recurring public company operating costs. Adjusted SG&A was $124.9 million, or 58.6% of adjusted net revenue, compared to $85.5 million, or 47.5% of adjusted net revenue, in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted SG&A excludes the impact of our simplification initiatives to streamline corporate operating structure.

Marketing expense totaled $42.3 million versus $38.8 million compared to the first nine months of 2021 and improved as a percentage of revenue to 19.8% from 21.5% a year ago, due to improvements in marketing efficiency.

Net loss was $76.5 million compared to $34.9 million in the first nine months of 2021, and net loss margin was 35.8% compared to 19.4% in the first nine months of 2021. Adjusted for the impact of the simplification initiatives, and corresponding estimated income tax on such items, adjusted net loss was $62.3 million and net loss margin was 29.2%.

Adjusted EBITDA loss was $34.1 million compared to a loss of $12.1 million in the first nine months of 2021, and adjusted EBITDA margin declined to (16.0)% compared to (6.7)% for the first nine months of 2021.

Simplification Initiatives

As announced last quarter, Allbirds continued to implement its simplification initiatives designed to generate cost of revenue savings, streamline workflows, and lower operating costs.
Supply chain cost and carbon reduction:
Reducing logistics costs in the United States by transitioning to automated distribution centers and a dedicated returns processor.
Taking steps to optimize inventory, including the liquidation of excess end of life inventory, and accelerate logistics cost savings.
Accelerating scaling of our manufacturing base to reduce product carbon footprints and product costs over time.
Streamlined corporate operating structure:
Reducing corporate headcount and office space to reflect a new hybrid working environment and to reduce organizational complexity.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Allbirds ended the quarter with $180.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $40 million available under its revolving credit agreement. Inventories totaled $126.5 million, an increase of 27.4% compared to $99.3 million at Q3 2021 and an increase of 3.4% compared to June 30, 2022. The increase from the end of 2021 is attributable to a combination of higher in-transit inventory as a result of ongoing supply chain disruptions as well as the impact of higher inbound freight costs.


2022 Financial & Carbon Footprint Reduction Guidance Targets

Allbirds is maintaining its guidance targets for full year 2022 which exclude any non-recurring revenue and costs associated with its simplification initiatives:

Adjusted net revenue2 of $305 million to $315 million, representing growth in the range of 10% to 14%, including an estimated FX impact of 275-350 bps, versus fiscal 2021.
Adjusted gross profit2 of $150.0 million to $157.5 million, which at the midpoint of our adjusted net revenue and adjusted gross profit targets represents a gross margin of 49.6%.
Adjusted EBITDA2 loss of $42.5 million to $37.5 million, including an estimated $8 million of recurring public company costs.
Carbon footprint reduction target of 6% against our 2021 baseline for our top 10 products, aligned with our Allbirds Flight Plan to reduce by 50% by the end of 2025 and 95% by 2030.

Allbirds is providing the following financial guidance targets for the fourth quarter of 2022, which also exclude any non-recurring revenue and costs associated with our newly announced simplification initiatives:

Adjusted net revenue2 of $92 million to $102 million, representing growth in the range of (5)% to 5% versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA2 loss of $8.5 million to $3.5 million.



2 A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to corresponding GAAP financial measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort as we are currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty: (i) the timing of non-recurring revenue and costs associated with the sale of certain end of life inventory that is excluded in calculating adjusted net revenue and adjusted gross profit, and (ii) certain expense items that are excluded in calculating adjusted EBITDA, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP. We have provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the section titled “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for our third quarter 2022 and 2021 results included in this press release.

Full Year 2022 Guidance
https://cdn.kscope.io/7a9c556933844f28ecba02c2248cf8cd-bird-maintain2022guidancea.jpg
Maintains Guidance Targets to Reflect Internal and External Trends

Mike Bufano, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Thanks to our team’s relentless focus on controlling what we can control, we were able to deliver strong financial performance - beating our adjusted revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance - against a difficult operating backdrop. The investments we have made into our supply chain, coupled with our leaner infrastructure and strong cash balance, all position us to continue to grow the business and work towards improved profitability. I feel confident about how we are setting up our business for the future to become better operationally while continuing to deliver on our sustainability initiatives and create shareholder value.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and accompanying financial tables include references to adjusted net revenue, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted net loss, adjusted net loss per share, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, and not in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations under GAAP, are useful to investors as they are widely used measures of performance, and the adjustments we make to these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors further insight into our profitability and additional perspectives in comparing our performance to other companies and in comparing our performance over time on a consistent basis. These adjusted financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to any measures of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted net revenue is defined as net revenue before the impact of any non-recurring revenue from end of life inventory liquidation as part of our simplification initiatives.

Adjusted gross profit is defined as adjusted net revenue less the cost of revenue before the impact of our simplification initiatives, which includes any non-recurring revenue and cost from the end of life inventory liquidation, costs for non-recurring inventory write-downs, and costs incurred relating to moving to more automated distribution centers and moving to a dedicated returns processing provider in the U.S.
6



Adjusted gross margin is defined as adjusted gross profit divided by adjusted net revenue.

Adjusted SG&A is defined as SG&A before the impact of our simplification initiatives, which includes severance and employee-related costs for terminated employees, the costs associated with the cease use of one of our U.S. corporate office leases, and certain third-party professional and consulting fees specifically incurred as a result of the simplification initiatives.

Adjusted net loss is defined as net loss before the impact of our simplification initiatives, which are described above in Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted SG&A, and corresponding estimated income tax on such adjusted items.

Adjusted net loss per share is defined as adjusted net loss divided by weighted average shares outstanding attributable to common stockholders.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before stock-based compensation expense, including common stock warrant expense, depreciation and amortization, the impact of the non-recurring revenue and costs associated with the simplification initiatives as described above, other income or expense (consisting of non-cash changes in the fair value of our equity investments, non-cash gains or losses on foreign currency, non-cash gains or losses on sales of property and equipment, and non-cash changes in fair value of our preferred stock warrant liability), interest expense, income tax provision or benefit, and other unusual or non-recurring items.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by adjusted net revenue.

Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these adjusted financial measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, we consider, and investors should consider, these adjusted financial measures together with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
