4 days ago

NEW YORK, June 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BARK, Inc. (NYSE: BARK) ("BARK" or the "Company"), a leading global omnichannel dog brand with a mission to make all dogs happy, today announced its financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended March 31, 2025.
Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights Versus Prior Year
Total revenue was $115.4 million, down 5.0%.
Commerce revenue was $15.4 million, up 26.5%.
Gross Margin improved 80 basis points to 63.6%.
Net loss of $(6.1) million increased by $1.2 million, primarily related to a $1.5 million non-cash impairment of capitalized software costs associated with technology platform modernization.
Adjusted EBITDA was $5.2 million, a $3.0 million improvement.
Fiscal Year 2025 Highlights Versus Prior Year
Total revenue was $484.2 million, down 1.2%.
Commerce revenue was $68.3 million, up 27.2%.
Gross Margin improved by 70 basis points to 62.4%.
Net loss was $(32.9) million, a $4.1 million improvement
Adjusted EBITDA was $5.4 million, a $16.0 million improvement and the Company's first full year of positive Adjusted EBITDA.
"Fiscal 2025 was a meaningful year for BARK—we delivered $5.2 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter, our best quarterly performance ever, and $5.4 million for the full year, marking our first full year of positive Adjusted EBITDA," said Matt Meeker, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of BARK. "Just three years ago, our Adjusted EBITDA was close to negative $60 million. Today, we're not only Adjusted EBITDA positive—we're determined to stay that way. Despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and tariffs impacting growth, our team is executing against a clear plan to diversify our revenue and maintain our strong margins. We're investing in new product lines, new channels, and new services like BARK Air, all while maintaining a leaner, more resilient operating model that we believe will deliver long-term value for our customers and shareholders."
Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights
Revenue was $115.4 million a 5.0% decrease year-over-year. The decline partially reflects a deliberate reduction in marketing spend amid rising tariffs and macroeconomic uncertainty, as well as timing delays in retail shipments.
Direct to Consumer ("DTC") revenue was $100.1 million, a 8.5% decrease year-over-year. The decrease is related to the dynamic described above. Included in this revenue is $1.8 million of revenue from BARK Air.
Commerce revenue was $15.4 million, a 26.5% increase year-over-year, driven by the addition of new partners, and expanding shelf space and SKU counts with existing partners. The Company experienced some macro headwinds along with timing related shifts of revenue into fiscal 2026.
Gross profit was $73.4 million, a 3.8% decrease year-over-year.
Gross margin was 63.6%, as compared to 62.7% in the same period last year. Strong margin expansion in both the DTC and Commerce segments offset the higher mix impact of commerce.
Advertising and marketing expenses were $17.3 million as compared to $18.8 million in the same period last year.
General and administrative ("G&A") expenses were $62.7 million, as compared to $63.9 million last year. This decrease was largely driven by a reduction in headcount.
Net loss was $(6.1) million, as compared to $(4.9) million in the same period in the previous year. The greater net loss is largely related to a $1.5 million non-cash impairment of capitalized software costs associated with the technology platform modernization.
Adjusted EBITDA was $5.2 million, ahead of the Company's guidance range of $0.9 million to $4.9 million.
Net cash used in operating activities was $(10.3) million. Free cash flow, defined as net cash used in operating activities less capital expenditures, was $(12.0) million primarily driven by working capital timing.
Full Year 2025 Highlights
Revenue was $484.2 million, a 1.2% decrease year-over-year, primarily related to the items described in the revenue sections above.
Direct to Consumer ("DTC") revenue was $415.8 million, a 4.7% decrease compared to prior year. Included in this revenue is $5.8 million of revenue from BARK Air.
Commerce revenue was $68.3 million, a 27.2% increase compared to prior year.
Gross profit was $302.0 million, a 0.1% decrease year-over-year.
Gross margin was 62.4%, as compared to 61.6% in the prior year.
Advertising and marketing expenses were $83.8 million as compared to $79.3 million in the prior year.
General and administrative ("G&A") expenses were $253.4 million, as compared to $268.4 million in the prior year.
Net loss was $(32.9) million, as compared to $(37.0) million in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $5.4 million, an improvement of $16 million compared to $(10.6) million in the prior year.
Net cash used in operating activities was $(7.1) million. Free cash flow, defined as net cash used in operating activities less capital expenditures, was $(13.2) million, driven by year end inventory build and other working capital changes.
Balance Sheet Highlights
The Company's cash and cash equivalents balance as of March 31, 2025 was $94.0 million, and reflects $10.5 million of share repurchases in the fourth quarter at an average price of $1.71.
The Company's inventory balance as of March 31, 2025 was $88.1 million, a $3.9 million increase compared to last year.
First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Outlook
Based on current market conditions as of June 4, 2025, BARK is providing guidance for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, which is a Non-GAAP financial measure, as follows.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company expects:
Total revenue of $99.0 million to $101.0 million, as compared to $116.2 million last year. The year-over-year decline is largely due to a deliberate reduction in DTC marketing given the uncertain macro environment. Additionally, the Company anticipates lower growth in Commerce revenue in the first quarter as certain retail partners opted to delay placing orders for imported product under the previously announced 145% tariffs on goods from China.
Adjusted EBITDA of $(1.0) million to $1.0 million reflecting a year-over-year improvement of approximately $1.8 million at the midpoint of the range.
Due to ongoing uncertainty surrounding potential tariffs and their impact on overall demand and operating costs, BARK will not be providing full-year guidance at this time. The Company will continue to evaluate market conditions and provide updates as the macroeconomic landscape becomes clearer. BARK remains focused on executing its strategic initiatives and delivering long-term value to its customers and shareholders.
We do not provide guidance for Net Loss due to the uncertainty and potential variability of certain items, including stock-based compensation expenses and related tax effects, which are the reconciling items between Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA. Because such items cannot be calculated or predicted without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss. However, such items could have a significant impact on Net Loss.
The guidance provided above constitutes forward looking statements and actual results may differ materially. Please refer to the "Forward Looking Statements" section below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward looking statements and "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional important information regarding Adjusted EBITDA.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, management believes that Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Free Cash Flow, all non-GAAP financial measures (together the "Non-GAAP Measures"), provide investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance.
We calculate Adjusted Net Loss as net loss, adjusted to exclude: (1) stock-based compensation expense, (2) change in fair value of warrants and derivatives, (3) sales and use tax income, (4) restructuring charges related to reduction in force payments, (5) gain on extinguishment of debt, (6) litigation expenses (consisting of legal and related fees for a specific proceeding that is outside of our ordinary course of business), (7) warehouse restructuring costs, (8) non-cash impairment of previously capitalized software and cloud computing implementation costs, (9) technology modernization costs, and (10) other items (as defined below).
We calculate Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Margin by dividing Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the period by Revenue for the period.
We calculate Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share by dividing Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the period by weighted average common shares used to compute net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the period.
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted to exclude: (1) interest income, (2) interest expense (3) depreciation and amortization expense, (4) stock-based compensation expense, (5) change in fair value of warrants and derivatives, (6) capitalized cloud computing amortization, (7) sales and use tax income, (8) restructuring charges related to reduction in force payments, (9) gain on extinguishment of debt, (10) litigation expenses (consisting of legal and related fees for a specific proceeding that is outside of our ordinary course of business), (11) warehouse restructuring costs, (12) non-cash impairment of previously capitalized software and cloud computing implementation costs, (13) technology modernization costs, and (14) other items (as defined below).
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing Adjusted EBITDA for the period by revenue for the period.
We calculate Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures.
The Non-GAAP Measures are financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that the Non-GAAP Measures, when taken together with our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of the Non-GAAP Measures are helpful to our investors as they are measures used by management in assessing the health of our business, determining incentive compensation and evaluating our operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes.
The Non-GAAP Measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. 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, (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 their 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 U.S. GAAP, and (5) Free cash flow does not represent the total residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes and does not reflect our future contractual commitments.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to Net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the calculation of net loss margin, Adjusted Net Loss Margin and Adjusted Net Loss Per Common Share for the periods presented:

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

Includes consulting fees related to technology transformation activities, and payroll costs for employees that dedicate significant time to this project. We believe that these costs are discrete and non-recurring in nature, as they relate to a one-time unification of our product offerings on our new commerce platform. As such, they are not normal, recurring operating expenses and are not reflective of ongoing trends in the cost of doing business.
