\nThe Original BARK Company (NYSE:BARK) (\u201cBARK\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a leading global omnichannel brand for dogs and their parents, today announced financial results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021.\n<\/p>\n
Highlights<\/span><\/p>\n \n“We are extremely pleased with our strong start to fiscal year 2022. During the quarter, we increased subscription shipments 52% year-over-year, continued to optimize our add-to-box feature across our suite of products, and partnered with iconic brands such as Warner Bros. and The NBA,” said Manish Joneja, Chief Executive Officer of BARK. “We continue to believe our unique value proposition\u2014from our world-class Happy and Creative teams to our machine learning capabilities\u2014will have a halo effect on our newer, less discretionary categories such as health and food.”\n<\/p>\n Fiscal First Quarter 2022 Details:<\/b><\/p>\n Revenue Gross Profit Operating Expenses \nAdvertising and marketing expenses increased 48.4% to $17.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 from $11.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. This increase was primarily due to the year-over-year increase in Customer Acquisition Costs (CAC) as media rates return to pre-COVID levels in comparison with the reduced media rates in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, stemming from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. CAC was $48.36 in the most recent fiscal quarter, compared to $30.83 in the same period last year. On a sequential basis, CAC decreased 6.0% compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021. Our Lifetime Value to CAC was a healthy 5.0x in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022.\n<\/p>\n Adjusted EBITDA Balance Sheet Highlights Second Quarter and Fiscal Year 2022 Outlook Conference Call Information \nThose who wish to participate in the call may do so by dialing (866) 465-0807 or (639) 716-2121 for international callers, conference ID 6197976.

These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of BARK. Some important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements could include changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the merger, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the merger is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to BARK; the risk that spending on pets may not increase at projected rates; that BARK subscriptions may not increase their spending with BARK; BARK\u2019s ability to continue to convert social media followers and contacts into customers; BARK\u2019s ability to successfully expand its product lines and channel distribution; competition; the uncertain effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; and those factors discussed in documents of BARK filed, or to be filed, with SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that BARK presently does not know or that BARK currently believes is immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.\n<\/p>\n \nIn addition, forward-looking statements reflect BARK\u2019s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. BARK anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause BARK\u2019s assessments to change. However, while BARK may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, BARK specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing BARK\u2019s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.\n<\/p>\n \nAny financial projections in this communication are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond BARK\u2019s control. While all projections are necessarily speculative, BARK believes that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections.\n<\/p>\n THE ORIGINAL BARK COMPANY<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF

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 \u201cNon-GAAP Measures\u201d), provide investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance.\n<\/p>\n \nWe calculate Adjusted Net Income 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 and (5) loss on extinguishment of debt.\n<\/p>\n \nWe calculate Adjusted Net Income Margin by dividing Adjusted Net Income for the period by Revenue for the period.\n<\/p>\n \nWe calculate Adjusted Net Income (Loss) on Common Shares by dividing Adjusted Net Income for the period by weighted average common shares used to compute net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the period.\n<\/p>\n \nWe 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 and (7) loss on extinguishment of debt.\n<\/p>\n \nWe calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing Adjusted EBITDA for the period by Revenue for the period.\n<\/p>\n \nThe 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.\n<\/p>\n \nThe 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.\n<\/p>\n \nThe following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP,

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\u2019s requirements.

<\/span>Total revenue increased 57.2% to $117.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 as compared to $74.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021.\n<\/p>\n\n
\n
<\/span>Gross profit was $69.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 up from $46.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Gross margin was 59.3% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 compared to 62.7% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The decrease in gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 was primarily due to higher inbound freight costs as a result of worldwide shipping congestion and is inline with our December guidance.\n<\/p>\n
\n
<\/span>General and administrative expenses increased 116.9% to $69.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 from $32.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The increase was due primarily to the growth of active subscriptions, resulting in a 52.4% increase in subscription shipments. Furthermore, we incurred $5.2 million of non-recurring transaction costs. In addition, the company is investing in its new business lines by increasing the staff dedicated to BARK Eats and BARK Bright. Finally, domestic shipping rates have increased on a year-over-year basis.\n<\/p>\n
\n
<\/span>Adjusted EBITDA was $(7.6) million, with Adjusted EBITDA margin of -6.5%, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $5.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 6.7%, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Fiscal year 2022 is deliberately an investment year for BARK; the company is strategically investing in several key areas such as its highly-personalized kibble business, BARK Eats, as well as self-managed fulfillment assets. Last year, with disciplined marketing spend and lower investment in new businesses, BARK was net income positive, which BARK believes demonstrates the strength of the business model and the company’s ability to profitably scale the business.\n<\/p>\n
\n
<\/b>The Company\u2019s cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2021 was $321.0 million compared with $38.3 million as of March 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had total debt outstanding of $71.6 million compared with $115.7 million as of March 31, 2021.\n<\/p>\n

<\/b>Based on information available as of August 9, 2021, BARK is issuing guidance for the fiscal second quarter 2022 and reaffirming guidance for fiscal full year 2022 as follows:\n<\/p>\n\n
