Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights

  • Revenue increased 15% year-over-year to $128.8 million.
  • Direct to Consumer (“DTC”) revenue was $117.8 million, a 16% increase year-over-year.
  • Commerce revenue was $11.1 million, a 1% increase year-over-year.
  • Gross profit was $64.0 million, as compared to $68.0 million in the same period last year. Gross profit in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2022 was impacted by $13 million in charges associated with an inventory write-down the Company made related to a strategic narrowing of focus on what it intends to sell, shrink, and other inventory-related charges. During the quarter, the Company implemented additional controls within its planning function that it believes will enable it to more tightly manage inventory and reduce shrink. The Company also experienced higher in-bound freight costs related to macro supply chain headwinds in fiscal 2022, as compared to fiscal 2021.
  • Gross margin was 50%, as compared to 61% in the same period last year. The decrease in gross margin was related to the inventory charges described above. Excluding the impact of these charges, gross margin would have been 59% for the quarter.
  • General and administrative ("G&A") expenses were $85.5 million, as compared to $55.6 million in the prior year. The year-over-year increase in G&A was largely related to a 13% increase in subscription shipments, additional shipping and fulfillment expenses associated with global supply chain congestion, incremental headcount and technology and expenses associated with the build out of our new food and health categories, and incremental costs associated with being a public company. The Company also incurred roughly $2.4 million of expenses related to our donation of dog beds as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the lives of dogs around the world, including in Ukraine.
  • Advertising and marketing expense was $13.4 million as compared to $16.2 million in the previous year. Our customer acquisition cost was $44.37, as compared to $51.47 in the same period last year.
  • Net loss was $36.7 million, as compared to a net loss of $7.1 million in the previous year. The year-over-year increase in net loss was primarily related to the aforementioned charges described in gross profit and G&A. The Company's inventory write-down charges and donation represented roughly $15 million in the quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $(23.1) million, as compared to $0.2 million in the previous year. The year-over-year decrease was primarily related to incremental expenses described in gross profit and G&A, including an aggregate $15 million of charges related to an inventory write-down and its donation of dog beds.

Fiscal Full Year 2022 Highlights

  • Revenue increased 34% year-over-year to $507.4 million.
  • Direct to Consumer (“DTC”) revenue was $448.1 million, a 34% increase year-over-year.
  • Commerce revenue was $59.3 million, a 33% increase year-over-year.
  • Gross profit was $282.1 million, as compared to $225.9 million in the same period last year. Gross profit for fiscal 2022 was impacted by $16 million in charges associated with an inventory write-down the Company made related to a strategic narrowing of focus on what it intends to sell, shrink, and other inventory-related charges. During the fourth quarter, the Company implemented additional controls within its planning function that it believes will enable it to more tightly manage inventory and reduce shrink. The Company also experienced increased in-bound freight costs related to macro supply chain headwinds in fiscal 2022, as compared to fiscal 2021.
  • Gross margin was 56%, as compared to 60% in the same period last year. The decrease in gross margin was related to the inventory charges described above.
  • General and administrative ("G&A") expenses were $301.9 million, as compared to $179.5 million in the prior year. The year-over-year increase in G&A was largely related to a 28% increase in subscription shipments, additional shipping and fulfillment expenses associated with global supply chain congestion, incremental headcount and technology and expenses associated with the build out of our new food and health categories, and incremental costs associated with being a public company, including additional stock-based compensation. The company also incurred roughly $2.4 million of expenses related to our donation of dog beds as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the lives of dogs around the world, including in Ukraine.
  • Advertising and marketing expense was $74.4 million as compared to $67.0 million in the previous year.
  • Net loss was $68.3 million, as compared to a net loss of $31.4 million in the previous year. The year-over-year increase in net loss was primarily related to the aforementioned charges described in gross profit and G&A. The Company's inventory write-down charges and donation represented roughly $18 million in the quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $(57.8) million, as compared to $(7.9) million in the previous year. The year-over-year decrease was primarily related to incremental expenses described in gross profit and G&A, including an aggregate $18 million of charges related to an inventory write-down and its donation of dog beds.

Balance Sheet Highlights

  • The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance as of March 31, 2022 was $199.4 million.
  • The Company had total debt outstanding of $79.2 million as of March 31, 2022, related to its outstanding convertible notes maturing in 2025.

Fiscal First Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Outlook

Based on current market conditions as of May 31, 2022, BARK is providing guidance for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, which is a Non-GAAP financial measure, as follows.

For the fiscal first quarter 2023, we expect:

  • Total revenue of $130 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $(18.0) million

For the fiscal full year 2023, we expect:

  • Total revenue of $556 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $(36.0) million

We do not provide guidance for Net Loss due to the uncertainty and potential variability of certain items, including stock-based compensation expenses and related tax effects, which are the reconciling items between Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA. Because such items cannot be calculated or predicted without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss. However, such items could have a significant impact on Net Loss.

The guidance provided above constitutes forward looking statements and actual results may differ materially. Please refer to the “Forward Looking Statements” section below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward looking statements and “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional important information regarding Adjusted EBITDA.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) on Common Shares, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, all non-GAAP financial measures (together the “Non-GAAP Measures”), provide investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance.

We calculate Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: (1) stock-based compensation expense, (2) change in fair value of warrants and derivatives, (3) sales and use tax expense, (4) one-time transaction costs associated with the financing and merger, (5) demurrage fees related to freight and (6) other one-time items.

We calculate Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Margin by dividing Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the period by Revenue for the period.

We calculate Adjusted Net Income (Loss) on Common Shares by dividing Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the period by weighted average common shares used to compute net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the period.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: (1) interest expense, (2) depreciation and amortization, (3) stock-based compensation expense, (4) change in fair value of warrants and derivatives, (5) sales and use tax expense, (6) one-time transaction costs associated with the financing and merger, (7) demurrage fees related to freight and (8) other one-time items.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing Adjusted EBITDA for the period by Revenue for the period.

The Non-GAAP Measures are financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the Non-GAAP Measures, when taken together with our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of the Non-GAAP Measures are helpful to our investors as they are measures used by management in assessing the health of our business, determining incentive compensation and evaluating our operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

The Non-GAAP Measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations of the Non-GAAP Measures include that (1) the measures do not properly reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future, (2) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect these capital expenditures, (3) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not consider the impact of stock-based compensation expense, which is an ongoing expense for our company and (4) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect other non-operating expenses, including interest expense. In addition, our use of the Non-GAAP Measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate the Non-GAAP Measures in the same manner, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider the Non-GAAP Measures alongside other financial measures, including our net income (loss) and other results stated in accordance with GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Loss to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP, and the calculation of net loss margin, Adjusted Net Loss Margin and Adjusted Net Loss on Common Shares for the periods presented:

Sales and use tax expense relates to recording a liability for sales and use tax we did not collect from our customers. Historically, we had collected state or local sales, use, or other similar taxes in certain jurisdictions in which we only had physical presence. On June 21, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court decided, in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. that state and local jurisdictions may, at least in certain circumstances, enforce a sales and use tax collection obligation on remote vendors that have no physical presence in such jurisdiction. A number of states have positioned themselves to require sales and use tax collection by remote vendors and/or by online marketplaces. The details and effective dates of these collection requirements vary from state to state and accordingly, we recorded a liability in those periods in which we created economic nexus based on each state’s requirements. Accordingly, we now collect, remit, and report sales tax in all states that impose a sales tax.
