Revenue Up 26% Year-Over-Year To $23.6 million in Q3; YTD Revenues Up 93%
Completes Highest Number of Installations in a Quarter in Company History
BEDFORD, Mass., Nov. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Berkshire Grey Inc. (NASDAQ:BGRY) (the "Company"), a leader in AI-enabled robotic solutions that automate supply chain processes, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Third-Quarter Financial Highlights
- Revenue of $23.6 million, an increase of 26% compared to the third quarter of 2021. Revenue includes $0.4 million for the provision for common stock warrants, which is recorded as a reduction in revenue. The Company previously issued a warrant to purchase Berkshire Grey common stock in conjunction with the expansion of its strategic relationship with FedEx.
- Year-to-date total orders received through early November of over $50 million.
- Backlog of approximately $104 million, which includes orders through early November.
- Net loss of $26.9 million, or $0.11 per share.
- Adjusted EBITDA of ($26.1) million.
- Approximately $78 million of cash and cash equivalents with no debt as of September 30, 2022.
Recent Business Highlights
- Berkshire Grey strengthened its financial flexibility by entering into an equity purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital. The agreement allows the Company to raise up to $75 million in cash from the sale of additional common stock to Lincoln Park over a three-year term.
- Achieved record number of system installations during the quarter – installed 57 systems at 16 different project sites, marking a key execution milestone for Berkshire Grey.
- Expanded the Berkshire Grey Partner Alliance program to include 16 partners.
"The Berkshire Grey team executed well operationally in the third quarter," said Tom Wagner, CEO of Berkshire Grey. "Revenues were strong, we secured new orders and deployed a record number of Berkshire Grey's AI-enabled robotic solutions faster and more efficiently at customer sites than ever before. Further, we are making excellent progress towards improving our gross margins, which have been improving steadily throughout the year. We believe we are well positioned for continued growth into 2023 and beyond."
Outlook for Full Year 2022:
The Company now expects full-year 2022 revenue, excluding the impact of any provision for common stock warrants, in the range of $65-70 million. Prior guidance did not include any estimates for provisions for common stock warrants. The updated estimate for 2022 revenue reflects slight delays expected at certain customer sites for the remainder of this year.
Berkshire Grey's statements about expected revenue are forward-looking and based on current expectations and our actual results could differ materially depending on market conditions and the factors set forth under "Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss less other income or expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, FedEx warrant provision, and stock-based compensation expense. In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is useful in evaluating the performance of our business. This non-GAAP measure has limitations as an analytical tool. We do not, nor do we suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors should also note that the non-GAAP financial measures we use may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as that of other companies. We recommend that investors review the reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
