Bird Announces First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

First Quarter Revenue Increased by 48% YoY to $38.0 Million, Above the Guidance Range

Announces Cost Savings Initiatives Focused on Accelerating Path to Profitability

Bird Global, Inc. ("Bird" or the "Company") (NYSE:BRDS), a leader in environmentally friendly electric transportation, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Travis VanderZanden, Founder and CEO of Bird, said, "Our first quarter revenue performance exceeded our guidance range. The results were driven by continued demand recovery into the end of the period and a strong foundation of leading technology and Fleet Manager operating model efficiencies. Looking forward, we are taking action to accelerate our path to profitability and positive cash flow generation while maintaining market leadership through a plan to streamline our operations. As a result, we expect to achieve at least $80 million of annual run-rate cost savings and deliver positive Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2022, while targeting our first full year of positive Adjusted EBITDA in 2023. Included in this plan are decisions to slow the expansion of our Product Sales portfolio offering and to realign our resources to prioritize Sharing operations within our existing regions. These initiatives are intended to propel our business towards positive cash flows, and are reflected in our updated guidance for 2022."

Mr. VanderZanden concluded, "We remain committed to delivering on our mission to provide eco-friendly transportation for everyone, and are confident in the opportunity we continue to see ahead for Bird. As a result, our management team, Board of Directors and certain key shareholders have voluntarily extended the lockup of their equity ownership for six months demonstrating conviction towards our team, strategy, business model, and ability to drive value for all of our stakeholders."

First Quarter Ended March 31, 2022 Financial Results

  • Revenue was $38.0 million, representing an increase of 48% compared to $25.7 million in the same period in 2021 (the "prior year period").
  • Gross margin, which is net of vehicle depreciation, as a percentage of revenue was 9% compared to 8% in the prior year period.
  • Ride Profit (before Vehicle Depreciation) was $13.0 million, representing an increase of 72% compared to $7.6 million in the prior year period. Ride Profit Margin (before Vehicle Depreciation) was 39% compared to 35% in the prior year period.
  • Total operating expenses were $100.2 million, including $48.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense; Adjusted Operating Expenses, which excludes the non-cash stock-based compensation expense as well as certain non-cash, non-recurring items or non-core expenses, were $50.0 million, representing an increase of 35% year-over-year.
  • Net income was $10.4 million compared to net loss of $76.2 million in the prior year period. Net income as a percentage of revenue was 27% compared to net loss as a percentage of revenue of 297% in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss was $36.8 million compared to $29.5 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA loss as a percentage of revenue improved 18 percentage points to 97% compared to 115% in the prior year period.

Outlook

The Company announced its plans to accelerate its path to profitability by streamlining and consolidating its resourcing against its core business. The Company now expects:

  • Revenue between $275 million to $325 million for fiscal year 2022, representing approximately 50% year-over-year growth at the midpoint;
  • Annual run-rate cost savings of at least $80 million for fiscal year 2022, resulting in an annual Adjusted Operating Expense run-rate of no more than $160 million; and
  • Positive Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 and full fiscal year 2023.

Yibo Ling, CFO of Bird, commented, "Over the past two years we have refined our operating model and focused on improving unit economics evidenced by average gross margins of 14% over the last seven quarters and Ride Profit Margins at or above 35% over the same period. We expect the actions we are now taking to further streamline our operations, alongside our healthy gross margin profile, to lead to positive Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2022 and for fiscal 2023. While we still expect our business to grow rapidly, we are comfortable moderating that growth to focus on profitability. Furthermore, we are taking action to further strengthen our balance sheet, which included more than $90 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents at the end of April. Notably, the last two quarters saw significant vehicle spend of approximately $160 million, primarily for 2022 deployments and 2023 deposits, as part of our long-term supply chain management strategy in the face of global logistics and supply chain interruptions. With these sizable investments behind us and the flexible capital solutions we have secured, including our $150 million vehicle financing facility and a 3-year standby equity purchase agreement of up to $100 million, we feel confident in the path ahead."

Subsequent Events

The Company also announced that management, the Board of Directors and key shareholders, including Sequoia Capital, Craft Ventures, Goldcrest Capital, and NGP Switchback II, LLC, have voluntarily entered into lockup agreements of their equity ownership with respect to over 40% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company for 180 days effective May 16, 2022. The lockup agreements stipulate that these stockholders will not sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of any equity securities of the Company, or enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers the economic consequences of ownership, subject to customary exceptions.

Additionally, in May, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors Global, LP ("Yorkville"), allowing the Company flexibility to sell to Yorkville up to $100 million of shares of Class A common stock at Bird's request during the 36 months following the execution of the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain conditions. The Company may request a loan from Yorkville of up to $21 million pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The loan may be repaid with the proceeds of an advance or repaid in cash.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Metrics

This press release contains "Ride Profit," "Ride Profit Margin," "Adjusted Operating Expenses," and "Adjusted EBITDA," which are measures that are not prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Ride Profit reflects the profit generated from rides in our Sharing business after accounting for direct ride expenses, which primarily consist of payments to Fleet Managers. Other ride costs include payment processing fees, network infrastructure, and city permit fees. We calculate Ride Profit (i) before vehicle depreciation to illustrate the cash return and (ii) after vehicle depreciation to illustrate the impact of the evolution of our vehicles. Ride Profit Margin is Ride Profit divided by the revenue we generate from our Sharing business. We use Ride Profit Margin for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that Ride Profit and Ride Profit Margin are useful indicators of the economics of our Sharing business, as they exclude indirect unallocated expenses such as research and development, selling and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. Adjusted Operating Expenses is a supplemental measure of operating expenses used to provide investors with additional information about the Company's business performance. We believe Adjusted Operating Expenses is useful in evaluating the operational costs of our business as it excludes impact from items that are non-cash in nature, non-recurring, or not related to our core business operations. We calculate Adjusted Operating Expenses as total operating expenses, adjusted to exclude (i) depreciation and amortization associated with operating expenses, (ii) stock-based compensation expense, (iii) tariff refunds, (iv) legal settlements and reserves, and (v) other non-recurring, non-cash, or non-core items. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of operating performance used to inform management decisions for the business. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our performance on a relative basis to other comparable businesses as it excludes impact from items that are non-cash in nature, non-recurring, or not related to our core business operations. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net profit or loss, adjusted to exclude (i) interest expense (income), net, (ii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) vehicle count adjustments, (v) stock-based compensation expense, (vi) tariff refunds, (vii) other income (expense), net, (viii) legal settlements and reserves, and (ix) other non-recurring, non-cash, or non-core items. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures. In light of these limitations, we provide specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from Ride Profit, Ride Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Expenses and Adjusted EBITDA. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see the appendix to this press release.

This press release also contains certain key business metrics which are used to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions. Gross Transaction Value ("GTV") reflects the total dollar value, excluding any applicable taxes, of Rides in our Sharing business and vehicle sales to retail customers and Bird Platform partners, in each case without any adjustment for retail discounts or refunds. In order to calculate GTV, we add back contra revenues from both Sharing and Product Sales and adjustments to the Bird Platform revenue we recognize. GTV is a key indicator of the scale of our business and ultimately drives revenue. We calculate Rides as the total number of trips completed by customers of our Sharing business. Rides are seasonal to a certain degree. Deployed Vehicles reflects the number of vehicles available to riders through our Sharing business. We calculate Deployed Vehicles on a pro-rata basis over a 24-hour period, wherein two vehicles deployed for a combined period of 24 hours equate to one Deployed Vehicle. Rides per Deployed Vehicle per Day ("RpD") reflects the rate at which our shared vehicles are utilized by riders. We calculate RpD as the total number of Rides divided by total Deployed Vehicles in our Sharing business each calendar day.
