Exceeds Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Revenue Guidance

Enters 2022 with Backlog of $105 Million

 

BEDFORD, Mass., March 29, 2022Berkshire Grey Inc. (Nasdaq: BGRY), a leader in AI-enabled robotic solutions that automate supply chain processes, today announced results for its fourth quarter and year ended 2021. The Company:

Delivered revenue of $23.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, ahead of expectations and a 556% increase as compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.
Entered 2022 with strong backlog of $105 million, positioning the Company well for continued growth.
Increased total orders to date to $200 million.

 

“We made substantial commercial progress and achieved important milestones in 2021,” said Tom Wagner, CEO, Berkshire Grey Inc. “We delivered strong revenue growth as Fortune 100 customers continued to adopt our intelligent enterprise robotics solutions to automate their fulfillment operations. We secured new follow-on orders with our anchor accounts who value our technology and want more. And we doubled our pipeline and doubled the number of new customers. The general tailwinds for AI-enabled robotic automation remain strong, and we continue to see significant demand for our differentiated solutions. We are well positioned for ongoing growth in 2022 and beyond.”

 

FY 2021 Financial Highlights:

Full year 2021 revenue of $50.9 million.
Full year 2021 net loss of ($153.4) million.
Full year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA of ($111.8) million.
Cash and cash equivalents of $171 million.

 

FY 2021 and Recent Business Highlights

Secured approximately $85 million in new orders which include approximately $64 million in follow-on orders from existing anchor accounts in the retail, eCommerce, grocery, and package handling sectors and approximately $21 million in orders from new customers in the retail and eCommerce sectors.
Advanced its Berkshire Grey Partner Alliance (BGPA) program which now includes eleven partners, including the recently announced partnership with Swisslog. The BGPA program includes a select group of market-leading consultants, integrators, technology providers and material handling leaders, broadening the Company’s global reach and extending its go-to-market strategy.
Was named as one of the Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Robotics by Fast Company and selected as one of 2021’s Best Startup Employers by Forbes.
Launched several new and enhanced AI-enabled robotic solutions including:
o
A new version of its Robotic Product Sortation solution which robotically picks, sorts, and packs individual items into outbound order containers without the need for operator interaction. The system supports filling eCommerce orders through stores and in-person shopping by automating store replenishment, allocation order processing, split-case cross docking, sortation, and packing.
o
A new, AI-powered Robotic Shuttle Put Wall solution for eCommerce order fulfillment that can increase customer order sortation throughput by up to 300% and accommodate up to nearly 100% of typical SKU assortments, including challenging items such as soft polybags and cylinders/tubes for a variety of industries including apparel, footwear, cosmetics, and general merchandise.

 


 

o
Robotic Pick and Pack solutions which automate picking and packing of items directly from inventory totes to outbound customer shipping packages, improving operation efficiency for fulfillment centers, reducing shipping costs and lowering the environmental impact of eCommerce orders.
o
The next generation of intelligent mobility solutions which include a synchronized fleet of mobile robots that perform millions of dynamic sort pathways and move hundreds of thousands of outbound items to ensure a highly efficient flow of goods through any fulfillment operation.
Expanded its corporate social responsibility initiatives by partnering with the United Way to donate learning kits to Boston Public School (BPS) students as part of the Berkshire Grey Picking with Purpose program. The Berkshire Grey Picking with Purpose program serves vulnerable populations by using the Company’s intelligent robotic sortation solutions to assemble meals and essential goods to communities in need.
Completed its business combination with Revolution Acceleration Acquisition Corp. and began trading under the ticker symbol “BGRY” on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange (Nasdaq) as the first and only publicly-traded, pure-play Intelligent Enterprise Robotics company that provides complete, AI-enabled automation of picking, mobility and system orchestration for eCommerce order fulfillment, retail and grocery resupply and package handling.

Berkshire Grey expects revenue for 2022 to be approximately $90 million, representing growth of approximately 80% year-over-year. Berkshire Grey’s statement about expected revenue is forward-looking and based on current expectations. Actual results could differ materially depending on market conditions and the factors set forth under “Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA. 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, 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.
