BERKSHIRE GREY, INC.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of the Business

Berkshire Grey, Inc. (“Berkshire Grey,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is an Intelligent Enterprise Robotics (“IER”) company pioneering and delivering transformative AI-enabled robotic solutions that automate filling ecommerce orders for consumers and businesses, filling orders to resupply retail and grocery stores, and handling packages shipped to fill those orders. The Company was founded in 2013 and is based in Bedford, MA. At September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately 290 employees. The Company's IER capabilities are grounded in patented and proprietary technologies for robotic picking (each picking or unit handling), robotic movement and mobility (movement and storage of orders and goods), and system orchestration (which enables various intelligent subsystems to work together so that the right work is being done at the right time to meet our customer’s needs).

On July, 21, 2021, (the “Closing Date”) the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated February 23, 2021, by and among Berkshire Grey Operating Company, Inc. (f/k/a Berkshire Grey, Inc.) (“Legacy Berkshire Grey"), the Company, (f/k/a Revolution Acceleration Acquisition Corp. (“RAAC”)), and Pickup Merger Corp, a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of RAAC (“Merger Sub”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination (the "Business Combination") between RAAC and Legacy Berkshire Grey was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy Berkshire Grey, with Legacy Berkshire Grey surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of RAAC (the "Merger"). RAAC amended and restated its second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and its bylaws such that RAAC changed its name to “Berkshire Grey, Inc.”. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to “Legacy Berkshire Grey” refer to Berkshire Grey, Inc. (currently known as Berkshire Grey Operating Company, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, prior to the effective time of the Merger Agreement.

 

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization with Legacy Berkshire Grey, Inc. being the accounting acquirer and RAAC as the acquired company for accounting purposes. Accordingly, all historical financial information presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the accounts of Legacy Berkshire Grey and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The shares and net loss per common share prior to the Merger have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Merger (each outstanding share of Legacy Berkshire Grey, Inc. Class A common stock and Legacy Berkshire Grey preferred stock was exchanged for 5.87585 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of the Company’s Class A common stock).

 

Prior to the Merger, RAAC’s units, public shares, and public warrants were listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbols “RAACU,” “RAAC,” and “RAACW,” respectively. On July 22, 2021, the Company's Class A common stock and public warrants began trading on the Nasdaq, under the symbols “BGRY” and “BGRYW,” respectively. See Note 3, "Merger" for further details.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include those of Berkshire Grey and its subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. The Company prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The information included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods and dates presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

For the Company’s subsidiaries that transact in a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end foreign exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average foreign exchange rates for the period. Translation adjustments are excluded from the determination of net income and are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

1. NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

 

Liquidity

The Company incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and relied upon financing activities to fund operations. The Company has raised approximately $227.3 million, net of issuance costs, from the issuance of preferred stock and warrants as described in Note 9, "Convertible Preferred Stock". The Company also received net proceeds from the Merger of approximately $192.1 million, as described in Note 3, "Merger". Management believes the capital raised, in combination with the Merger proceeds, will be sufficient to fund its current operations, projected working capital requirements, and capital spending for a period beyond the next 12 months. See Note 17, "Subsequent Events" for more information about additional sources of capital.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, realizability of deferred fulfillment costs, inventory, warranty cost, accounting for stock-based compensation (including performance-based assessments), and accounting for income taxes and related valuation allowances. Actual results may differ from estimates.

 

 

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of money market funds. Restricted cash represents cash on deposit with a financial institution as collateral for the Company’s corporate credit cards and an irrevocable standby letter of credit as security for the Company’s obligations under the lease for its headquarters in Massachusetts. The Company has included restricted cash as a non-current asset as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents.

Sales of the Company’s products are concentrated among specific customers. At September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, eight and two customers accounted for approximately 100% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company generated approximately 100% of revenues from nine and eleven customers, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company generated 100% of revenues from six customers. The Company believes that credit risks associated with these contracts are not significant due to the customers’ financial strength.

The Company places cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by these institutions to the extent the amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheets exceeds federally insured limits.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Warrant Liabilities

The Company classifies Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants (both defined and discussed in Note 16, “Common Stock and Warrants” as liabilities. At the end of each reporting period, changes in fair value during the period are recognized as change in fair value of warrant liabilities within other income (expense), net within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company will continue to adjust the warrant liability for changes in the fair value until the earlier of a) the exercise or expiration of the warrants or b) redemption of the warrants, at which time the warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

FedEx Warrant

The FedEx Warrant (defined in Note 16, "Common Stock and Warrants") is accounted for as an equity instrument and measured in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. This instrument is classified in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. For awards granted to a customer, which are not in exchange for distinct goods or services, the fair value of the awards earned based on service or performance conditions is recorded as a reduction of the transaction price, in accordance with ASC 606. To determine the fair value of the FedEx Warrant in accordance with ASC 718, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model which is based in part on assumptions that require management to use judgment. Based on the fair value of the award, the Company determines the amount of non-cash stock-based sales incentive charges on the customer’s pro-rata achievement of vesting conditions, which is recorded as a reduction of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 16 for additional information.

Net Loss Per Common Share

As a result of the Merger, the Company has retroactively restated the weighted average shares outstanding prior to July 21, 2021, to give effect to the Exchange Ratio.

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock and Class C common stock outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted income per share is calculated using the Company's weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method and warrants using the if-converted method. Diluted earnings per share excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is antidilutive. See Note 13, “Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Shareholders” for further details.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 and its related amendments (collectively referred to as ASC 842) amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 840, Leases. The new standard increases transparency and comparability most significantly by requiring the recognition by lessees of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases. To account for leases as a lessee, the Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective method, whereby the new guidance is applied prospectively as of the date of adoption and prior periods are not to be restated. The Company elected the package of practical expedients which permits the Company to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. Additionally, the Company elected the following practical expedients: the Company has elected to not separate lease components from non-lease components in its lease contract; the Company will not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to its leases with lease terms of 12 months or less but rather recognize the lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The adoption of the lease standard did not change the Company's previously reported consolidated statements of operations and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity. Adoption of the lease standard had a material impact on its condensed consolidated balance sheet (Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies").

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. This accounting update removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. We prospectively adopted the accounting update on January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal

8


 

years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

 

3. MERGER

On Closing Date, Berkshire Grey, Inc. received gross proceeds of $220.0 million, which included $55.0 million in proceeds from issuance of common stock upon the Merger and $165.0 million in proceeds from the PIPE Investment (as defined below). The Company recorded $27.9 million of transaction costs, which consisted of legal, accounting, and other professional services directly related to the Merger. These costs were included in additional paid-in capital on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. On Closing Date each share of Legacy Berkshire Grey preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and each share of Legacy Berkshire Grey common stock, par value $0.001 per share, was converted into the right to receive 5.87585 shares of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the consideration paid in respect of each share of Legacy Berkshire Grey preferred and common stock issued and outstanding (other than (i) any such shares held in the treasury of the Company and (ii) any shares held by stockholders of the Company who had perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights) immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was the number of shares of newly issued Class A common stock of RAAC (with each share valued at $10.00), par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Stock”), equal to (x) $2.25 billion divided by (y) the number of shares of Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

At the Closing, all equity awards of Legacy Berkshire Grey were assumed by the Company and converted into comparable equity awards that are settled or exercisable for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. As a result, each outstanding stock option was converted into an option to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock based on an exchange ratio of 5.87585.

 

Each public and private warrant of RAAC that was unexercised at the time of the Merger was assumed by the Company and represents the right to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock upon exercise of such warrant.

Legacy Berkshire Grey was determined to be the accounting acquirer because Legacy Berkshire Grey shareholders prior to the Merger had the greatest voting interest in the combined entity, Legacy Berkshire Grey shareholders appointed the initial directors of the Company's board upon the closing of the Merger and control future appointments, Legacy Berkshire Grey comprises all of the Company's ongoing operations, and Legacy Berkshire Grey's senior management directs operations of the combined entity. Accordingly, all historical financial information presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represents the accounts of Legacy Berkshire Grey.

Subscription Agreements

Concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement, RAAC entered into subscription agreements with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors committed to purchase an aggregate amount of $165.0 million in shares of Class A Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “PIPE Investment”). The PIPE Investment was consummated concurrent with the closing of the Merger.

7. REVENUE

The Company primarily derives its revenue from selling robotic fulfillment systems, which consist of a network of automated machinery installed at the customer location and configured to meet specified performance requirements, such as accuracy, throughput, and up-time. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised products is transferred to the customer, or when services are satisfied under the contract, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services (the transaction price). Revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. Taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities, are excluded from revenue.

The Company’s contracts typically have multiple promises that may include system delivery, installation, testing, and training. Judgment is required to determine whether the promises specified in these contracts are distinct and should be accounted for as separate revenue transactions for recognition purposes. The Company also provides assurance-based warranties that are not considered a distinct performance obligation. The Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company uses a cost-plus margin approach to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations.

Each customer contract is evaluated individually to determine the appropriate pattern of revenue recognition. Contracts that are recognized over time meet the criteria that the Company is creating or enhancing an asset that the customer controls. The system is delivered to the customer and control is transferred, after which point the Company performs installation and implementation services to fully integrate the system at the customer’s location. As such, revenue recognition generally begins upon delivery, continues throughout the installation and implementation period, and concludes upon customer acceptance. Revenue from customer contracts is generally expected to be recognized over a period of three to six months. There historically have been, and potentially will be in the future, customer contracts that contain obligations and timelines that result in revenue being recognized over extended periods, which may include periods greater than 12 months. For those performance obligations where revenue is recognized over time, the Company recognizes revenue as costs are incurred or as labor hours are incurred, depending on the type of contract (i.e., an input method). Installation and training services are evaluated together with the delivery of robotic fulfillment or material handling systems as a singular performance obligation. Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined to be probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The loss is computed on the basis of the total estimated costs to complete the contract, including the contract costs incurred to date plus the estimated cost to complete. A provision for the remaining losses on contracts of $3.7 million and $8.5 million is included within contract liabilities as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Other performance obligations recognized at a point in time include the sale and delivery of spare parts and pilot agreements. Pilot agreements are typically short-term contracts designed to demonstrate the Company’s technology and ability to serve the customer. Due to the exploratory nature of pilot agreements, revenue is recognized at a point in time once the evaluation activities are complete.

Other performance obligations recognized over time include, but are not limited to, maintenance, extended support, and research services. Maintenance and extended support services are recognized ratably on a straight-line-basis as the Company assumes an even distribution of performance over the service period. Research services are recognized based on the ratio of cost to date and the total estimated cost at the completion of the performance obligation.

Shipping and handling activities that occur after control of a product has transferred to the customer are accounted for as fulfillment activities rather than performance obligations, as allowed under a practical expedient provided by ASC 606. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are recognized as revenue and the related costs are included in cost of revenue at the point in time when ownership of the product is transferred to the customer.

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer and other costs to fulfill a contract are required to be capitalized unless the Company elects to expense contract costs with periods less than a year. The Company has elected to expense these costs of obtaining a contract as incurred when the related contract period is less than one year. The Company does not pay upfront sales commissions on contracts when the related contract period is greater than one year, thus has not capitalized any amounts as of September 30, 2022.

7. REVENUE (cont.)

 

Payment terms offered to customers are defined in contracts and do not include a significant financing component. Payment milestones typically exist throughout the course of a contract and generally occur upon signing of an agreement, delivery of a system, start and completion of installation and testing, and upon acceptance of the system. The nature of the Company’s contracts may give rise to variable consideration, typically related to fees charged for shipping and handling. The Company generally estimates such variable consideration at the most likely amount. In addition, the Company includes the estimated variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the related uncertainty is resolved. These estimates are based on historical experience and the Company’s best judgment at the time. To the extent there is certainty in estimating these amounts, they are included in the transaction price of the Company’s contracts and the associated remaining performance obligations. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.

Contracts may be modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. Contract modifications exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Most of the Company’s contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effects of a contract modification on the transaction price, and the measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, are recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis.

Measure of Progress

The Company periodically reviews the measure of progress used to faithfully depict the transfer of control of goods and services to customers. This review indicated the circumstances of the Company's systems delivery and installation for certain sales have changed over time and that the transfer of control to customers would be more faithfully depicted over time as cost is incurred, beginning upon delivery, and continuing through the installation process (“cost-to-cost method”) rather than based on the ratio of labor hours incurred to total estimated labor hours at the completion of the performance obligation. The Company’s assessment of control transfer considered when legal title to machinery passes to the customer, when the customer first gains beneficial use, and other indicators control has transferred. As a result, effective January 1, 2022, the Company began using a cost-to-cost methodology for some projects that commenced during the current fiscal year. Under both the cost-to-cost and labor hours input methods the Company expects revenue to be recognized over a period of three to six months.

Lessor Revenue

To account for leases as a lessor, the Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2022. The company may enter into leases as an alternative means of realizing value from systems that it would otherwise sell. Lease payments due to the Company are typically fixed and paid in equal installments over the lease term. The Company’s payment terms for leases are typically unconditional. Therefore, in an instance when the client requests to terminate the lease prior to the end of the lease term, the client would typically be required to pay the remaining lease payments in full. When lease arrangements include multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract between the lease components and the non-lease components on a relative standalone selling price basis.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company is not party to any sales-type, direct financing or operating lessor agreements.

Deferred Fulfillment Costs and Contract Balances

As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company incurred $7.7 million and $7.7 million of net deferred fulfillment costs, respectively.

Changes in the contract liability balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, were due to the Company receiving additional advanced cash payments from customer contracts and the Company recognizing revenue as performance obligations were met.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In June 2019, the Company entered into two customer contracts with an affiliate of one of its primary investors. Related to these contracts, as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded no net deferred fulfilment costs and less than $0.1 million in net deferred fulfillment costs, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company did not recognize revenue or cost of revenue related to these customer contracts. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $0.7 million in revenue and less than $0.1 million in cost of revenue. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized approximately $0.8 million and $3.9 million in revenue and approximately $0.3 million and $1.4 million in cost of revenue related to these customer contracts, respectively.

In October 2019, the Company issued a Partial Recourse Secured Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note”) to an executive officer for approximately $9.9 million with an interest rate of 1.86% per annum compounded annually. Under the terms of the Promissory Note, the officer was be personally liable for 51% of the unpaid balance of the principal and any accrued interest. The entire principal amount was used to purchase 7,003,261 shares (as converted for the effect of the Merger) of restricted stock. The Promissory Note was collateralized by the restricted common stock. The Company determined that the entire Promissory Note must be treated as non-recourse; as such, the balance of the note and related accrued interest were not presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Refer to Note 10, "Stock-Based Compensation", for further information on the treatment of stock-based compensation related to these purchased shares.

On February 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Stock Repurchase Agreement with the executive officer. In the Stock Repurchase Agreement, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of a sufficient number of vested shares of common stock from the executive officer, at an aggregate price sufficient to repay the Promissory Note. At the Closing Date on July 21, 2021, all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Promissory Note was repaid and the note was retired.

 

 

9. CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

Preferred Stock

The Company has cumulatively raised $227.3 million, net of issuance costs, in venture financing through the sale and issuance of Preferred Stock and warrants. Immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, all outstanding shares of each series of Legacy Berkshire Grey preferred stock were converted into shares of Legacy Berkshire Grey common stock. Warrants to purchase preferred stock (Series B-3) were cancelled pursuant to a warrant termination agreement with the warrant holder. At the closing of the Merger, each share of Legacy Berkshire Grey common stock was converted into the right to receive 5.87585 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. Share amounts are presented as having been converted at the time of the Merger.

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In 2013, the Company adopted the Berkshire Grey, Inc. 2013 Stock Option and Stock Purchase Plan (the “2013 Plan”) under which the Company may grant incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, or other awards that are convertible into or based on company stock. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan was 58,863,225 (as converted for the effect of the Merger).

On July 20, 2021, at a special general meeting of the shareholders of RAAC, the 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan for Berkshire Grey, Inc. (the “2021 Plan”) was approved reserving an initial limit of 19,887,747 of the Company’s Class A common stock for issuance under the 2021 Plan. All equity awards of Legacy Berkshire Grey that were issued under the 2013 Plan were converted into comparable equity awards that are settled or exercisable for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. Each stock option granted under the 2013 Plan was converted into an option to purchase the Company’s Class A common stock based on an exchange ratio of 5.87585. Following effective date of the 2021 Plan, no additional awards shall be issued under the 2013 Plan.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized for all stock-based awards is reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as follows:

See Restricted Stock Sold Through Issuance of Promissory Note below for more information regarding the fair value of liability classified awards which increased sales and marketing stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022, by approximately $1.1 million and reduced stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, by $8.9 million.

It was determined the vesting conditions of performance-based stock options were unlikely to be achieved prior to expiration which resulted in the reversal of general and administrative stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, of $4.2 million.

Stock Options

The Company issued grants of 1,102,098 and 1,513,031 stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022, 2,938,357 of the Options outstanding are subject to performance-based vesting criteria.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was approximately $7.4 million.

The Company recognized approximately ($3.1) million and $1.1 million in stock-based compensation expense related to stock options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The reversal of expense recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022, was due to a revised estimate for the achievement of performance-based metrics. The Company recognized approximately $14.2 million and $16.5 million in stock-based compensation expense related to stock options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, there was approximately $17.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options. The total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future forfeitures as they occur. As of September 30, 2022, the Company expects to recognize its remaining stock-based compensation expense over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

Restricted Stock Sold Through Issuance of Promissory Note

In conjunction with a Partial Recourse Promissory Note issued in October 2019 (See Note 8, "Related Party Transactions"), the Company also entered into a Restricted Stock Award Agreement with an executive officer (the “RSA Agreement”). Pursuant to the RSA Agreement, the Company granted 7,003,261 shares of common stock (the “Restricted Stock”) at a purchase price of $1.42 per share. The Restricted Stock was purchased by the executive officer with the proceeds from the Promissory Note. As the underlying Restricted Shares are not allocated to the recourse and non-recourse portions of the Promissory Note, the entire note was treated as non-recourse and the shares are treated as options for accounting purposes.

On February 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Stock Repurchase Agreement with the aforementioned executive officer. In the Stock Repurchase Agreement, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of 1,023,825 vested shares of common stock from the executive officer which will repay, in full, all the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Promissory Note. At the Closing Date, all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Promissory Note was repaid and the note was retired.

The RSA Agreement contains a Repurchase Option, which causes the shares to be classified as a liability. The Repurchase Option expires six months after the shares’ respective vesting date, at which point the shares will be reclassified as equity at the fair value on such date and no further compensation cost is recognized. A portion of the awards are subject to performance-based vesting conditions based primarily on financial performance of the Company and a portion are only subject to time and service-based vesting conditions over a four-year period. The Company will remeasure the fair value of the award using the exchange traded price of Class A common stock at each reporting period until settlement. The Company recognizes compensation cost over the requisite service period with an offsetting credit to a share-based liability.

The underlying shares of Restricted Stock are not considered outstanding until the vesting conditions have been achieved. As of September 30, 2022, 3,720,564 shares of Restricted Stock have vested, and none were forfeited.

As a result of fluctuations in the Company's stock price, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the change in fair value of the Repurchase Option resulted in an expense of $1.1 million and a benefit of $8.8 million, respectively, and the benefit is recorded as a reduction to total stock-based compensation expense. The Company recognized a benefit of $0.3 million and an expense of $26.8 million in stock-based compensation expense related to the Restricted Stock during the three and nine months ended September

15


 

30, 2021, respectively. The expense is presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as sales and marketing expense. As of September 30, 2022, there was approximately $3.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the Restricted Stock.

Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")

Under the 2021 Plan, RSUs may be granted to employees, non-employees, and consultants. The RSUs vest ratably over a period ranging from one to four years and are subject to the participant’s continuing service to the Company over that period. Until vested, RSUs do not have the voting and dividend participation rights of common stock and the shares underlying the awards are not considered issued and outstanding.

Money market funds were valued by the Company using quoted prices in active markets for similar securities, which represent a Level 1 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company has Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants ("Warrants") defined and discussed in Note 16, "Common Stock and Warrants". The Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company performs routine procedures such as comparing prices obtained from independent sources to ensure that appropriate fair values are recorded. Because the transfer of Private Placement Warrants to anyone outside of the initial purchasers would result in the Private Placement Warrants having substantially the same terms as the Public Warrants, the Company determined that the fair value of each Private Placement Warrant is consistent with that of a Public Warrant, with an insignificant adjustment for short-term marketability restrictions. Accordingly, the Private Placement Warrants are classified as Level 2 financial instruments. The Public and Private Warrants were valued as of September 30, 2022 using the listed trading price of $0.18 per Public Warrant.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3.

12. INCOME TAXES

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded no income tax benefits due to the losses incurred and the uncertainty of future taxable income.

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. As required by ASC 740 Income Taxes, the Company evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize the deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. As the Company has incurred tax losses from inception, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the Company would not realize the benefits of federal and state net deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance was established against the net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

The Company does not believe material uncertain tax positions have arisen to date.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was 0.0%.

 

 

 

 

13. NET LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS

Through the Merger, the Company added Class C stock to its capital structure. Class A and Class C common stock have identical rights, including liquidation and dividend rights, except the Company’s Class C common stock is convertible into Class A common stock, and is automatically converted into Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis if the Company meets certain stock price performance thresholds following the completion of the Merger. The net loss attributable to common stockholders is allocated on a proportionate basis, and the resulting net loss per share is identical for Class A and Class C common stock under the two-class method.

The Company uses the two-class method to calculate net loss per share. No dividends were declared or paid for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021. The diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents during the period. The Company’s stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock awards subject to vesting are considered to be potential common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as their effect is antidilutive.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders is equivalent to net loss for all periods presented.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commercial real estate leases

The Company’s portfolio of commercial real estate leases consists of office space for its corporate headquarters in Bedford, Massachusetts and office and research space in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania, both of which are accounted for as operating leases. Our corporate headquarters consists of an approximately 70,000 square foot facility. The lease expires in 2031 and we have the option to extend for two additional five-year periods. Our lease in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania is for an approximately 20,500 square foot facility. The remaining contractual periods for our corporate headquarters and the Sharpsburg facility are 8.4 years and 3.0 years, respectively, and include escalating payments.

Operating lease right-of-use assets (ROU) and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The current and long term balances of lease liabilities at September 30, 2022, were $1.0 million and $8.9 million, respectively, and were classified within other liabilities, and operating lease liabilities, respectively. Operating lease expense was $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Rent expense recognized under legacy GAAP for the Company’s operating leases was $0.8 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

As of September 30, 2022, the weighted-average remaining lease term for operating leases is approximately 8.0 years.

As of September 30, 2022, the weighted-average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liability is 4.5%

 

 

 

 

 

16. COmmon stock and warrants

Prior to the Merger, RAAC had three classes of authorized common stock: Class A common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock. At the time of the Merger, the shares of Class B common stock automatically converted to shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. The shares of Class C common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock if the Company meets certain stock price performance thresholds following the completion of the Merger, on a one-for-one basis.

Merger Transaction

At the time of the Merger (as discussed in Note 3, "Merger"), each share of Legacy Berkshire Grey common and preferred stock was converted into the right to receive 5.87585 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.

Class A Common Stock Warrants

As the accounting acquirer, the Company is deemed to have assumed 5,166,667 warrants for Class A common stock that were sold in a private placement to RAAC Management, LLC at an exercise price of $11.50 (“Private Placement Warrants”) and 9,583,333 redeemable warrants for Class A common stock held by shareholders of RAAC at an exercise price of $11.50 (“Public Warrants”). The Public Warrants became exercisable 30 days after the consummation of the Merger and will expire five years from the consummation of the Merger or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 

Subsequent to the Merger, the Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants meet liability classification requirements since the warrants may be required to be settled in cash under a tender offer. Therefore, these warrants are classified as liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2022, no warrants have been exercised.

 

As of September 30, 2022, the following Warrants were outstanding:

Public Warrant Terms

Once the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:

in whole and not in part;

20


 

at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (“Reference Value”) equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted).

 

Once the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:

in whole and not in part;
at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of our Class A common stock;
if, and only if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted); and
if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.

 

Private Placement Warrants

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

 

FedEx Warrant

On July 29, 2022, the Company and FCJI, Inc. (“FedEx Affiliate”), a wholly owned subsidiary of FedEx Corporation, entered into a Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to FedEx Affiliate a warrant (the “FedEx Warrant”) to acquire up to 25,250,616 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, subject to certain vesting events described below. Other affiliates of FedEx Corporation are current customers of the Company.

The Company and FedEx Affiliate entered into the Transaction Agreement in connection with a master professional services agreement that the Company and FedEx Corporation entered into on July 29, 2022, with respect to which FedEx Corporation engaged the Company to provide broader AI robotic automation capabilities. The Company also expects to enter into a master system purchase agreement with FedEx Corporation later in 2022 that will be leveraged to streamline and expedite the procurement process for expanding the supply of the Company’s AI robotic automation to FedEx Corporation and its affiliates. The vesting of the Warrant Shares, described in more detail below, is subject to certain milestones, including signing these commercial agreements as well as other commercial transactions between FedEx Corporation (and its affiliates) and the Company.

The Warrant Shares will generally vest and become exercisable from time to time, incrementally, if and as FedEx Corporation and its affiliates, directly or indirectly through third parties, make a combination of binding orders and qualified payments of at least $20 million for goods and services associated with orders received after June 1, 2022, and fully vest and become exercisable when such binding orders and qualified payments reach at least $200 million. No vesting event will occur after December 31, 2025. FedEx Corporation and its affiliates are not currently required to place any orders or make any payments under the master system purchase agreement being negotiated.

Subject to vesting and certain conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement, the Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, and for cash or on a net exercise basis, at any time before July 29, 2032, at an exercise price of $1.67 per share, which was determined based on the 30-day volume-weighted average price for the Common Stock as of July 29, 2022. Both the exercise price and the number of Warrant Shares subject to purchase pursuant to the Warrant are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

Non-cash stock-based sales incentive contra-revenue charges (“FedEx Warrant Charges”) associated with the FedEx Warrant are recognized as the customer makes qualified payments and vesting conditions become probable of being achieved, based on the grant date fair value of the FedEx Warrant. The fair values of the FedEx Warrant were determined as of the grant date in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions:

The volatility used was estimated based a weighting average of the Company's historical volatility, the implied volatility of the Company's exchange traded warrants, and the historical volatility of comparable companies over a period matching the assumed term of the FedEx Warrant, . The expected terms used were based on the term of the FedEx Warrant at the date of issuance. The risk-free interest rates used were based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the expected term of the FedEx Warrant at the date of issuance.

The following table summarizes the FedEx Warrant activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

As a result of the immediate vesting of a portion of the Warrant Shares upon entry into a master professional services agreement, the Company recognized FedEx Warrant Charge, in the third quarter of 2022, of $1.7 million and warrant provision of $1.4 million representing FedEx Warrant Charges associated with the master professional services agreement which will be recognized as the work is performed.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, FedEx Warrant Charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations were $0.4 million. Non-cash FedEx Warrant Charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, were $1.7 million, of which $1.4 million is classified in “Other current assets”, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On October 5, 2022, the Company, entered into a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, the Company may sell to Lincoln Park up to $75 million of shares (the “Purchase Shares”) of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) over the 36 month term of the Purchase Agreement. Concurrently with entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which it agreed to provide Lincoln Park with certain registration rights related to the shares issued under the Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, on any business day selected by the Company (the “Purchase Date”), to require Lincoln Park to purchase up to 200,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Regular Purchase Amount”) per purchase notice (each such purchase, a “Regular Purchase”). The Regular Purchase Amount may be increased to up to (i) 250,000 shares if the closing price of the Common Stock is not below $2.00, (ii) 300,000 shares if the closing price of the Common Stock is not below $3.00 and (iii) 400,000 shares if the closing price of the Common Stock is not below $4.00. Lincoln Park’s committed obligation under a Regular Purchase shall not exceed $2.0 million, provided that the parties may mutually agree at any time to increase the Regular Purchase Amount on any Purchase Date, above and beyond the foregoing amounts that Lincoln Park is committed to purchase. The purchase price per share for each Regular Purchase will be based on prevailing market prices of the Common Stock immediately preceding the time of sale as computed in accordance with the terms set forth in the Purchase Agreement. There are no upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement. Lincoln Park may not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement.


The aggregate number of shares that the Company can sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement may in no case exceed
47,099,574 shares (subject to adjustment) of Common Stock (which is equal to approximately 19.99% of the shares of Common Stock and our Class C common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, combined, outstanding prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement) (the “Exchange Cap”), unless (i) shareholder approval is obtained to issue Purchase Shares above the Exchange Cap, in which case the Exchange Cap will no longer apply, or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds the “minimum price”, determined in accordance with applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, as adjusted as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, such that the Exchange Cap will not apply to issuances and sales of Common Stock

22


 

under the Purchase Agreement. In all instances, the Company may not sell shares of its Common Stock to Lincoln Park and its affiliates under the Purchase Agreement if it would result in Lincoln Park beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

The Company issued 701,262 shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock at the Company’s direction from time to time under the Purchase Agreement (the “Commitment Shares,” and, together with the Purchase Shares, the “Shares”). The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, closing conditions, indemnification and termination provisions.

 

There are no limitations on the use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, restrictions on future financings (other than restrictions on the Company’s ability to conduct or enter into an agreement to issue any of our Common Stock involving an equity line of credit or substantially similar transaction, excluding certain transactions including an at-the-market transaction exclusively with a registered broker-dealer), rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement. The Company may deliver purchase notices under the Purchase Agreement, subject to market conditions, and in light of its capital needs, from time to time and under the limitations contained in the Purchase Agreement. Any proceeds that the Company receives under the Purchase Agreement are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include investments and strategic transactions.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2022, the Company has sold approximately 2.5 million shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement, for net proceeds of approximately $3.3 million.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this report to “Berkshire Grey,” “we,” “us,” “our,” ”the Company” and other similar terms refer to Berkshire Grey, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

In addition to historical financial information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained herein, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy, plans and prospects, existing and prospective products, research and development costs, timing and likelihood of success, and plans, market growth, trends, events and our objectives of management for future operations and results, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are subject to a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including the risks, uncertainties and assumptions described under “Risk Factors.” These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks, including, without limitation, the following:

the expected benefits from the Business Combination;
our plans to develop and commercialize its product candidates;
our ability to continue to develop new innovations to meet constantly evolving customer demands;
our expectations regarding the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on its business, industry and the economy;
our estimates regarding future expenses, revenue, earnings, margin, capital requirements and needs for additional financing after the Business Combination;
our expectations regarding the growth of our business, including the potential size of the total addressable market;
our ability to maintain and establish collaborations or obtain additional funding;
our ability to obtain funding for our future operations and working capital requirements and expectations regarding the sufficiency of our capital resources;
the implementation of our business model and strategic plans for our business following the Business Combination;
our intellectual property position and the duration of our patent rights;
developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or other proprietary rights;
our dependence on suppliers and suppliers to our third-party contract manufacturers who fabricate our equipment to fulfill orders placed by us;

24


 

our ability to raise financing in the future; and
the anticipated use of our cash and cash equivalents.

 

Investors should also refer to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for future periods and Current Reports on Form 8-K as we file them with the SEC, and to other materials we may furnish to the public from time to time through Current Reports on Form 8-K or otherwise, for a discussion of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances, or otherwise.

 

You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Business Overview

We are an Intelligent Enterprise Robotics (“IER”) company pioneering and delivering transformative AI-enabled robotic solutions that automate filling ecommerce orders for consumers or businesses, filling orders to resupply retail and grocery stores, and handling packages shipped to fill those orders. Our solutions transform supply chain operations and enable our customers to meet and exceed the demands of today’s connected consumers and businesses.

Our IER capabilities are grounded in patented and proprietary technologies for robotic picking (each picking or unit handling), robotic movement and mobility (movement and storage of orders and goods), and system orchestration (which enables various intelligent subsystems to work together so that the right work is being done at the right time to meet our customer’s needs). We are a technology leader in robotics and AI automation with an intellectual property position buttressed by trade secrets supporting our technologies, and patents issued (170 U.S. and international) and pending (325 worldwide) in technologies including robotic picking, mobility, gripping, sensing and perception, general robot control, and differentiated supporting mechanisms. Our proprietary technologies enable us to offer holistic solutions that automate supply chain operations. Our solutions include moving goods to robots that then pick and pack ecommerce or retail orders, robotically moving and organizing inventory and orders within a warehouse or logistics facility, and robotically sorting packages and shipments.

We are not a component technology company nor are we a conventional systems integrator. Instead, we create products from the technologies we pioneer and develop, and then incorporate the products (product modules) into solutions — solutions that incorporate said modules and are designed by us to meet customer performance metrics like throughput and accuracy rates. We believe that this technology plus performant, whole-enterprise solution view, enables customers to focus on the core of their business and creates attractive returns for them. Following the whole-enterprise solution view, we not only make, install, test, and commission the solutions, but we also offer customers continued support in the form of software updates as well as professional services including maintenance, system operation, and cloud-based monitoring and analytics. Because of our modular approach to solutions and the role of our software, we offer customers the ability to incrementally add to or change solutions, and we can incorporate outside technologies with our product modules if desired. The same modular attributes mean we can offer small and large solutions and can design for brownfield and greenfield installations. We offer customers a range of purchase options including a robotics-as-a-service (“RaaS”) program that minimizes the up-front capital required when compared to conventional equipment purchase models.

To date, most of our deployments have been with large, Fortune 50 companies, where our technology and solutions in production have achieved targeted metrics including throughput, accuracy, equipment effectiveness, and others. Our customers include industry-leading companies such as Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (“Wal-Mart”), Target Corporation (“Target”), FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”), and TJX Companies, Inc. ("TJX").

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, four customers, Wal-Mart, Target, FedEx and TJX collectively comprised approximately 63% and 77% of our revenue, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, four customers, Wal-Mart, Target, FedEx and TJX collectively comprised approximately 64% and 66% of our revenue, respectively.

While we have more than a dozen product module offerings incorporating AI and other advanced technologies, we continue to develop new technologies and product modules. The strength of our team enables this continuous development — of our

25


 

approximately 290 employees as of September 30, 2022, of which approximately 75% have technical degrees and approximately 160 have advanced degrees.

Recent Developments

Merger Agreement

On February 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with RAAC, as summarized in Note 1, "Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation", and Note 3, "Merger" of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. On July 21, 2021, the Company completed a business combination transaction with RAAC and the combined company was renamed Berkshire Grey, Inc.

COVID-19

The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations remains unpredictable due to the evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent of its impact across industries and geographies and numerous other uncertainties. For example, we cannot predict the duration and spread of the outbreak of new variants of the virus, additional actions that may be taken by governmental entities, or the impact the pandemic may have on the ability of us, our customers, our suppliers, our manufacturers, and our other business partners to conduct business. Governments in affected regions have implemented, and may continue to implement, safety precautions which include quarantines, travel restrictions, business closures, cancellations of public gatherings, and other measures as they deem necessary. Many organizations and individuals, including our Company and employees, are taking additional steps to avoid or reduce infections, including limiting travel and working from home. These measures are disrupting normal business operations and have had significant negative impacts on businesses and financial markets worldwide. We continue to monitor our operations and government recommendations and have made modifications to our normal operations because of the COVID-19 pandemic, including utilizing heightened cleaning and sanitization procedures, implementing new health and safety protocols and reducing non-essential travel

To date, travel restrictions and capacity limits at customer locations imposed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have caused delays in the deployment of two customer contracts; however, the pandemic has not significantly impacted our financial condition and operations. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and related governmental advisories and restrictions. These developments and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial markets and the overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are impacted for an extended period, our results may be materially adversely affected.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition including performance obligations, variable consideration and other obligations such as warranty cost and incentives and accounting for stock-based compensation including performance-based assessments and the estimates of the fair value of stock-based awards as of their grant date. We base these estimates and judgments on historical experience, market participant fair value considerations, projected future cash flows and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates. We have reviewed our policies and estimates to determine if our critical accounting policies and estimates for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, have changed. We have made no material changes to the critical accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended other than our accounting policies related to the FedEx Warrant further described in Note 16, "Common Stock and Warrants", leases as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which was adopted on January 1, 2022, as further described in Note 2 "Significant Accounting Policies" and no changes to our significant estimates other than the measure of progress for certain performance obligations which is described in Note 7 "Revenue".

Summary of Recent Financial Performance

Revenue was approximately $23.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to approximately $18.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The change is primarily due to an increase in customer deployment activity.

 

Revenue was approximately $52.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to approximately $27.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The change is primarily due to an increase in customer deployment activity.

 

Gross loss was $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a loss of $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The change in gross loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was due primarily to increased deployment activity which was partially offset by increased overhead resulting from the growth in deployment operations.

Gross loss was $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a loss of $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The change in gross loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was due primarily to increased overhead resulting from the growth in deployment operations.

 

Combined general and administrative, selling and marketing, and research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022, decreased to $26.6 million, compared to $44.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The net decrease in total operating expenses of $17.6 million primarily consisted of a $13.8 million decrease in stock-based compensation (further described below), and a $4.0 million decrease in materials and services.

 

Combined general and administrative, selling and marketing, and research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, decreased to $84.6 million, compared to $119.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The net decrease in total operating expenses of $34.5 million primarily consisted of a $45.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation, which was partially offset by a $12.2 million increase in salaries and employee costs related to personnel growth.

 

The decrease in stock-based compensation between the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, is primarily due to the revaluation of restricted stock awards that are treated as a liability as discussed in Note 8, "Related Party Transactions", and Note 10, "Stock-Based Compensation" of Berkshire Grey’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Stock based compensation for restricted stock awards increased by $1.4 million and decreased by $35.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company reported an expense of $1.1 million and an offset to expense of $8.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and an offset to expense of $0.3 million and an expense of $26.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

 

Net losses were $26.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $40.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in net losses was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense and a gain from the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities.

Net losses were $79.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $116.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in net losses was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense and a gain from the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities.

Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $23.6 million and $18.8 million, respectively, an increase of $4.8 million or 26%. The increase is related to additional customer deployment activities. Our revenue can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter depending on the number of projects in process.

 

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $52.5 million and $27.3 million, respectively, an increase of $25.2 million or 93%. The increase is primarily due to additional customer deployment activities. Since 2019, our revenue has been dependent upon a small number of customers and we expect that we will continue to derive a majority of our revenue from a limited number of significant customers in future years. We can provide no assurance that our significant customers will expand their business relationship with us, will continue to do business with us, or that they will maintain their historical levels of business.

Total gross losses during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, were $1.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Total gross margin was approximately (5)% for three months ended September 30, 2022, compared with (15)% for three months ended September 30, 2021, an improvement of 10% points. The decrease in gross loss of $1.5 million was primarily driven by lower product and per-site deployment costs.

 

Total gross losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, were $5.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Total gross margin was approximately (10)% for nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with (15)% for nine months ended September 30, 2021, an improvement of 5% points. The increase in gross loss was primarily driven by increased overhead resulting from the growth in deployment operations which was partially offset by lower product costs and per-site deployment costs. The margin improvement of 5% points was primarily driven by efficiencies in product deployment and lower product costs.

Income Taxes

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, Berkshire Grey recorded no income tax benefits due to the uncertainty of future taxable income as Berkshire Grey has incurred net losses since inception.

We have provided a valuation allowance for all our net deferred tax assets as a result of our historical net losses in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We continue to assess our future taxable income by jurisdiction based on our recent historical operating results, the expected timing of reversal of temporary differences, various tax planning strategies that we may be able to enact in future periods, the impact of potential operating changes on our business and our forecast results from operations in future periods based on available information at the end of each reporting period. To the extent that we are able to reach the conclusion that deferred tax assets are realizable based on any combination of the above factors in a single, or multiple, taxing jurisdictions, a reversal of the related portion of our existing valuation allowances may occur.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, each non-GAAP financial measures, are useful in evaluating our operational performance. We use this non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that this non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors in assessing our operating performance.

We define “EBITDA” as net loss plus interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense.

We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, provision for FedEx warrant, the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and other expenses.

We believe that the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends because it eliminates the effect of financing, capital expenditures, and non-cash expenses (such as stock-based compensation, stock-based sales incentive charges, and changes of the warrant liabilities) and provides investors with a means to compare our financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, you should be aware that when evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate these measures in the same fashion.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

The following table reconciles net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA during the years presented.

Backlog

Our order backlog as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, was valued at approximately $90.5 million and $84.7 million, respectively. Our order backlog is expected to be realized over the remainder of 2022 and into 2023. Although our backlog consists of firm purchase orders, the level of backlog at any particular time may not be necessarily indicative of future sales. Given the nature of our relationships with our customers, and the fact that to-date we have not entered into long-term purchase commitments with our customers, we may

30


 

allow our customers to cancel or reschedule deliveries, and therefore, backlog may not be a meaningful indicator of future financial results.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity and Capital

We have incurred a net loss in each of our annual periods since our inception. We incurred net losses of $26.9 million and $79.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, we have an accumulated deficit of $384.5 million. As an early-stage company, we have historically obtained cash to fund our operations through preferred stock offerings. From inception through September 30, 2022, we have received cumulative gross proceeds from the sale of our preferred stock and warrants of $227.3 million to fund our operations.

We completed the Merger with RAAC on July 21, 2021, and received proceeds, net of transaction costs, of $192.1 million. On October 5, 2022, we entered into a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, which provides that we may sell to Lincoln Park up to $75.0 million of shares over a 36-month period, subject to certain conditions. See Note 17, “Subsequent Events”, in the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, we sold approximately 2.5 million shares of Common Stock under the purchase agreement, for net proceeds of approximately $3.3 million. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including the growth of the business, continued research and development in our customer solutions, investment in sales and marketing efforts, and support for our operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we believe that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to support our operating plan and cash commitments for at least the next 12 months.

Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2020

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, was $93.9 million and $81.4 million, respectively. The increase of $12.5 million in cash used for operating activities is the result of approximately $37.5 million decrease in net losses offset by $47.7 million in adjustments from non-cash operating activities and $2.4 million in changes from net operating assets and liabilities.

 

Changes in non-cash operating activity of $47.7 million primarily consisted of a $44.4 million decrease in stock-based compensation and a $4.2 million increase in gain on change in fair value of warrants. $35.6 million of the decrease in stock-based compensation is due to the revaluation of restricted stock awards that are treated as a liability as previously described.

 

Changes in net operating assets and liabilities totaling $2.4 million is primarily related to a $16.5 million decrease in cash from changes in accrued expenses, a $2.8 million decrease in cash from changes in accounts receivable, and a $0.8 million decrease in cash from changes in accounts payable, partially offset by a $7.9 million increase in cash from changes in prepaid expenses, $6.1 million increase in cash from changes in deferred fulfillment, and $3.9 million increase in cash from changes in contract liabilities.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, was $3.2 million and $193.5 million, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities of approximately $190.3 million was due to the impact of the Merger, as described above.

Contractual Obligations

Our lease portfolio includes leased offices and facilities. Refer to Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies" of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for a summary of our future minimum lease obligations. As of September 30, 2022, we did not have any long-term debt.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies", in the Consolidated Financial Statements regarding recent accounting pronouncements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Sensitivity

We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include the translation of local currency balances of foreign subsidiaries, transaction gains and losses associated with intercompany accounts receivable and payable with foreign subsidiaries, and transactions denominated in currencies other than a location’s functional currency. As such, we have exposure to adverse changes in exchange rates associated with operating expenses of our foreign operations. Any fluctuations in other currencies will have minimal direct impact on our international revenue.

We regularly monitor the forecast of non-U.S. dollar expenses and the level of non-U.S. dollar monetary asset and liability balances to determine if any actions, including possibly entering into foreign currency contracts, should be taken to minimize the impact of fluctuating exchange rates on our results of operations. We have not entered into any foreign currency contracts as of September 30, 2022.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

At September 30, 2022, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $77.6 million. The unrestricted cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. As of September 30, 2022, all our cash equivalents were held in money market funds. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates.
