BARK Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Results

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BARK, Inc. (NYSE:BARK):

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Highlights Versus Prior Year

  • Fully repaid the Company's outstanding 2025 Convertible Notes in cash, making BARK debt free.
  • Total revenue was $98.4 million, below guidance, as the Company reduced marketing spend to focus on profitability.
  • Direct-to-Consumer gross margin was 66.4%, up 10 basis points.
  • Commerce gross margin was 46.3%, up 230 basis points.
  • Net loss was $(8.6) million, versus $(11.5) million last year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $(1.6) million, within the Company's guidance range.

“As we approach the end of fiscal 2026, our priorities remain—running the business with discipline, protecting profitability, and continuing to diversify the ways we serve dog parents,” said Matt Meeker, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of BARK. “This quarter reflected that focus. We delivered adjusted EBITDA toward the high-end of our guidance range, generated positive free cash flow as inventory began to normalize, and continued to make progress across both Commerce and BARK Air, which now represent a meaningful and growing portion of our revenue mix. While revenue was impacted by a deliberate pullback in marketing spend, we’re seeing encouraging signs in customer quality, margin performance, and operational efficiency. Taken together, we believe these actions position BARK to exit the fiscal year as a leaner, more resilient, and more diversified company.”

Fiscal Third Quarter 2026 Highlights

  • Revenue was $98.4 million, with Commerce and BARK Air representing 22.5% of total revenue. The Company also delivered its lowest customer acquisition cost quarter in nearly three years. Total revenue declined 22.1% year-over-year, primarily reflecting fewer total orders in the current period due to carrying fewer subscriptions into the quarter compared to the prior year. The Company also reduced its marketing investment by 41.3% versus last year, as it prioritized profitability in the current period.
  • Direct to Consumer (“DTC”) revenue was $79.6 million, a 25.0% decrease year-over-year, primarily due to carrying fewer subscriptions into the quarter compared to the prior year.
  • Commerce revenue was $18.9 million, a 7.2% decrease year-over-year, partly related to timing of retail shipments.
  • Gross profit was $61.6 million, a 22.3% decrease compared to last year.
  • Gross margin was 62.5%, compared to 62.7% in the same period last year. The lower consolidated gross margin is driven by revenue mix. Both DTC and Commerce gross margin improved sequentially, and year-over-year.
  • Advertising and marketing expenses were $16.1 million, compared to $27.4 million in the previous year.
  • General and administrative ("G&A") expenses were $54.5 million, compared to $64.1 million in the prior year, partly driven by lower volumes and partly from the continuing trend of strong cost management.
  • Net loss was $(8.6) million, compared to a net loss of $(11.5) million in the previous year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $(1.6) million, was within the Company's guidance range of $(5.0) million to $(1.0) million, and in-line with last year, notwithstanding lighter revenue in the current period.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.7 million. Free cash flow, defined as net cash used in operating activities less capital expenditures, was $1.6 million.

Balance Sheet Highlights

  • The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance as of December 31, 2025 was $21.7 million reflecting the full repayment of the Company's $45 million 2025 Convertible Notes.
  • The Company's inventory balance as of December 31, 2025 was $91.4 million, down $9.7 million in the quarter.

Debt Repayment

On November 6, 2025, the Company repurchased the remaining $42.9 million of outstanding aggregate principal amount, and $2.2 million of accrued interest, of the 5.50% Convertible Secured Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Convertible Notes”) from entities affiliated with Magnetar Financial, LLC (collectively, the “Holders”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of a negotiated notes purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) among the Company and the Holders. See Note 4 in the Company's 10Q for the period ended December 31, 2025, "Debt", for additional details.

Line of Credit

On January 30, 2026, the Company extended its long-standing line of credit with Western Alliance Bank for $35 million (the "Credit Facility"). This line of credit provides the Company with added operational flexibility. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is March 2, 2026. The Company intends to enter in to a longer term renewal of the Credit Facility.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, management believes that Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted Net Loss Margin, Adjusted Net 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) litigation expenses (consisting of legal and related fees for a specific proceeding that is outside of our ordinary course of business), (6) warehouse restructuring costs, (7) non-cash impairment of previously capitalized software and cloud computing implementation costs, (8) technology modernization costs, and (9) other items (as defined below).

We calculate Adjusted Net Loss Margin by dividing Adjusted Net Loss for the period by Revenue for the period.

We calculate Adjusted Net Loss Per Common Share by dividing Adjusted Net 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, (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) litigation expenses (consisting of legal and related fees for a specific proceeding that is outside of our ordinary course of business), (10) warehouse restructuring costs, (11) non-cash impairment of previously capitalized software and cloud computing implementation costs, (12) technology modernization costs, and (13) 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, 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 and 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.

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.

Litigation expenses related to a shareholder class action complaint, see Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

(3)

 

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 mainly 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.
