(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 second quarter of 2022 ended June 30, 2022.

• Gross profit decreased 26.1% to $28.2 million compared to 2021, and gross margin was 36.1% compared to 56.1% in 2021.
• Adjusted gross profit, which excludes a non-cash charge of $11.6 million primarily related to the non-recurring write-down of certain first-generation apparel inventory, increased 4.5% to $39.8 million compared to 2021, and adjusted gross margin was 51.0% compared to 56.1% in 2021.

• Introduced a new materials platform, SwiftFoam^TM, a bio-based Pebax® made with castor beans featuring an estimated 20% lower carbon footprint than petroleum-based synthetic alternatives.
  

“I am proud of our strong second quarter performance in which we achieved our revenue expectations and exceeded our adjusted EBITDA expectations, while continuing to take market share,” said Joey Zwillinger, co-Founder and Co-CEO. “During the quarter, Allbirds surpassed $1 billion in lifetime net revenue, which is a significant achievement for a still young brand and testament to the incredibly hard work and unwavering commitment of our teams. This quarter also saw the successful launch of another Allbirds high performance running shoe—the Tree Flyer—using our revolutionary new SwiftFoam™ technology. Our push into performance is paying off with performance footwear growing to 24% of our net revenue in the quarter and we see room for further growth ahead.”

“Our data-rich business model allows us to quickly identify changes in consumer behavior. Our teams were quick to detect the broader slowdown in U.S. consumer discretionary spending in the back half of June, and responded with agility. As we continue to navigate this difficult environment, we have implemented Simplification Initiatives designed to generate cost of goods savings, streamline workflows, and lower operating costs. The savings generated from these initiatives will allow us to continue to invest in our brand, our products, our customers, and our Flock, setting us up to continue to take share and keeping us on track to achieve our medium-term targets.”

Q2 2022 Financial and Operating Highlights

Strong Year-Over-Year Growth in the United States

Second Quarter Operating Results

Net revenue in the second quarter of 2022 increased 15% to $78.2 million compared to $67.9 million in the second quarter of 2021 and increased 55% compared to the second quarter of 2020. This increase is equally attributable to an increase in the number of orders and average order value, which was in turn driven by higher average units per order and price increases on existing products. This was partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange rates that had an estimated 265 bps negative impact on net revenue. In the United States, where net revenue increased 21% to $59.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2021, retail store performance was the primary driver. International net revenue was flat at $18.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2021, as the business was negatively impacted by external headwinds, including COVID-19 restrictions in China, the crisis in Ukraine, and unfavorable foreign exchange rates that had an estimated 945 bps negative impact.

Gross profit in the second quarter of 2022 totaled $28.2 million compared to $38.1 million in the second quarter of 2021, and gross margin declined to 36.1% compared to 56.1% in the second quarter of 2021. The decreases in gross profit and gross margin primarily reflect a non-cash write-down of inventory primarily related to certain first-generation apparel products, higher distribution center and logistics costs, lower mix of international sales, and unfavorable foreign exchange rates, partially offset by favorable mix shift to physical retail and higher margin products, as well as improved pricing. Excluding the impact of the non-recurring inventory write-down, adjusted gross profit in the second quarter of 2022 increased 4.5% to $39.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2021, and adjusted gross margin was 51.0% compared to 56.1% in the second quarter of 2021.

Selling, general, and administrative expense (SG&A) in the second quarter of 2022 was $41.7 million, or 53.4% of revenue, compared to $29.0 million, or 42.7% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2021. The year-over-year increase is primarily attributable to expenses for the opening of seven new stores during the period and operational expenses for 19 additional stores opened since the second quarter of 2021, increased headcount, and recurring public company operating costs.

Marketing expense in the second quarter of 2022 totaled $15.8 million compared to $13.3 million and increased as a percentage of revenue to 20.2% from 19.6% a year ago. The increase in marketing expense as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to increased marketing spend in our digital channels.

GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2022 was $29.4 million compared to $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2021, and net loss margin was 37.6% compared to 11.2% in the second quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2022 was a loss of $9.2 million compared to earnings of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2021, and adjusted EBITDA margin declined to (11.8)% compared to 1.6% in the second quarter of 2021.

Six Month Operating Results

Net revenue in the first half of 2022 increased 20% to $140.9 million compared to $117.5 million in the first half of 2021 and increased 52% compared to the first half of 2020. This is equally attributable to an increase in the number of orders and an increase in average order value, which was in turn driven by increased average units per order and price increases of existing products. This was partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange rates that had an estimated 200 bps negative impact on net revenue. In the United States, where net revenue increased 27% to $108.2 million compared to the first half of 2021, retail store performance was the primary driver. International net revenue was flat at $32.7 million compared to the first half of 2021, as the business was negatively impacted by external headwinds, including COVID-19 restrictions in China, the crisis in Ukraine in Europe, and unfavorable foreign exchange rates that had an estimated 730 bps negative impact.

Gross profit in the first half of 2022 totaled $60.8 million compared to $63.9 million in the first half of 2021, while gross margin declined to 43.1% in the first half of 2022 versus 54.4% in the same period in the prior year. The decreases in gross profit and gross margin primarily reflect a non-cash write-down of inventory, higher distribution center and logistics costs, lower mix of international sales, and unfavorable foreign exchange rates, partially offset by favorable mix shift to physical retail and higher margin products, as well as improved pricing. Excluding the impact of the non-recurring inventory write-down, year-to-date adjusted gross profit increased 13.3% to $72.4 million compared to the same period in 2021, and adjusted gross margin was 51.4% compared to 54.4% for the first half of 2021.

SG&A in the first half of 2022 was $80.5 million, or 57.1% of revenue, compared to $52.5 million, or 44.7% of revenue, in the first half of 2021, with the increase primarily driven by expenses for the opening of 11 new stores during the period and continued operational expenses for 19 additional stores opened since the second quarter of 2021, increased headcount, and recurring public company operating costs.

Marketing expense in the first half of 2022 totaled $29.6 million versus $26.0 million compared to the first half of 2021 and improved as a percentage of revenue to 21.0% from 22.1% a year ago, due to improvements in marketing efficiency.

Net loss in the first half of 2022 was $51.2 million compared to $21.1 million in the first half of 2021, and net loss margin was 36.4% compared to 18.0% in the first half of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA loss in the first half of 2022 was $21.4 million compared to a loss of $5.8 million in the first half of 2021, and adjusted EBITDA margin declined to (15.2)% compared to (4.9)% for the first half of 2021.

Simplification Initiatives

Allbirds announces the implementation of 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 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:
  • Dramatically slowed the pace of corporate new hires and backfills for departing employees and reduced the global corporate workforce by approximately 8%.
  • Other corporate SG&A projects, including reducing corporate office space to reflect a new hybrid working environment.
    

Balance Sheet Highlights

Allbirds ended the quarter with $207 million of cash and cash equivalents and $40 million available under its revolving credit agreement. Inventories totaled $122 million, an increase of 14.4% compared to $107 million at the end of 2021 and an increase of 3.2% compared to March 31, 2022. The increase is attributable to a combination of higher in-transit inventory as a result of extended lead times from ongoing supply chain disruptions as well as the impact of higher inbound freight costs, partially offset by a write-down of inventory primarily related to certain first-generation apparel products.

Updated 2022 Financial & Carbon Footprint Reduction Guidance Targets

Allbirds is providing the following guidance targets for full year 2022 to reflect external headwinds and the dynamic demand environment. The following targets exclude any non-recurring revenue and costs associated with our newly announced Simplification Initiatives:

• Adjusted net revenue¹ 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 profit¹ 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 EBITDA¹ 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 third quarter of 2022, which also exclude any non-recurring revenue and costs associated with our newly announced Simplification Initiatives:

• Adjusted net revenue¹ of $65 million to $70 million, representing growth in the range of 4% to 12% versus the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ loss of $17.5 million to $15.5 million, including an estimated $2 million of recurring public company costs.

Full Year 2022 Guidance

Updates Guidance Targets to Reflect External Headwinds

Mike Bufano, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “We delivered solid second quarter performance with net revenue growth of 15%, in-line with our guidance targets, strong growth of 21% in the United States, and adjusted EBITDA above our guidance target range. Our ability to deliver those results against the backdrop of a dynamic operating environment shows us that our underlying competitive advantages remain intact. We anticipate that the external headwinds pressuring consumer spending in the United States will persist in the back half of 2022. As a result, we continue to take a cautious outlook in our updated 2022 guidance targets.

“In this operating environment, we are focused on controlling what we can control and have implemented a series of Simplification Initiatives focused on automating and expanding our supply chain and streamlining our operating structure. These Simplification Initiatives are expected to generate annualized SG&A expense savings of $13 million to $15 million beginning in 2023 and significant cost of revenue savings in future years. We will reinvest some of these savings into building brand momentum through product innovation, marketing, retail stores, and marquee third party partnerships. We are confident that these investments in the customer, coupled with our Simplification Initiatives, will help us navigate this consumer slowdown and position us for accelerated profitable growth when the headwinds pass.”

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 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 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 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.

Adjusted gross profit is defined as net revenue minus cost of revenue before the impact of any non-recurring revenue or expenses from end of life inventory liquidation, including the impact of the non-recurring inventory write-down recognized in the second quarter of 2022.

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

Adjusted net loss is defined as net loss before the impact of the non-recurring inventory write-down recognized in the second quarter of 2022 and further adjusted for 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, non-recurring simplification initiatives (consisting of inventory write-downs, employee-related expenses, reducing office space, and other projects), 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, and income tax provision.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by 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.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to corresponding GAAP 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 cost 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 second quarter 2022 and 2021 results included in this press release.

1 During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized a non-cash charge of $11.6 million in cost of revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, primarily related to a write-down of certain first generation apparel products. Approximately $9.8 million related to finished goods in inventory on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and $1.9 million related to raw materials in prepaid expenses and other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. 2 The adjusted provision for income taxes is based on our estimated annual effective tax rate of 4.36% as of June 30, 2022. We may adjust our adjusted tax rate as additional information becomes available or events occur which may materially affect this rate, including impacts from the global tax environment, significant changes in our geographic mix, new or amended tax legislation, or changes in our business outlook.
