Third Quarter Operating Results

In the third quarter of 2025, net revenue decreased 23.3% to $33.0 million compared to $43.0 million in the third quarter of 2024. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to structural changes, including impacts from international distributor transitions and planned retail store closures.

Gross profit totaled $14.2 million compared to $19.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, and gross margin declined 120 basis points to 43.2% compared to 44.4% in the third quarter of 2024. The decline in gross margin primarily reflects a higher mix of digital and international distributor sales, as well as increased duties in our U.S. business, which offset higher average selling price.

Selling, general, and administrative expense (SG&A) was $21.7 million, or 65.7% of net revenue, compared to $31.0 million, or 72.0% of net revenue in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower personnel expenses, occupancy costs, stock-based compensation expenses, and depreciation and amortization expenses.

Marketing expense totaled $11.7 million, or 35.5% of net revenue, compared to $9.9 million, or 22.9% of net revenue in the third quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by increased digital advertising spend in support of new product launches.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2025 was $20.3 million compared to $21.2 million for the third quarter of 2024, and net loss margin was 61.6% compared to 49.3% in the third quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ loss for the third quarter of 2025 improved to $15.7 million compared to a loss of $16.2 million in the third quarter of 2024, and adjusted EBITDA margin1 declined to (47.7)% compared to (37.8)% in the third quarter of 2024.

Nine Month Operating Results

Net revenue in the first nine months of 2025 decreased 21.7% to $104.8 million compared to $133.9 million in the first nine months of 2024. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to structural changes, including impacts from planned retail store closures and international distributor transitions.

Gross profit in the first nine months of 2025 totaled $44.8 million compared to $63.6 million in the first nine months of 2025, while gross margin declined to 42.7% in the first nine months of 2025 versus 47.5% in the same period a year ago. The decline in gross margin is primarily due to channel mix, with a lower percentage of sales coming from our retail business and a higher percentage coming from our digital and distributor channels, as well as increased promotional activity and higher inventory adjustments.

SG&A in the first nine months of 2025 was $71.0 million, or 67.8% of net revenue, compared to $104.2 million, or 77.8% of net revenue in the first nine months of 2024. The decline is primarily attributable to decreases in personnel expenses, occupancy costs, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation.

Marketing expense in the first nine months of 2025 totaled $32.3 million, or 30.8% of net revenue, compared to $29.4 million, or 21.9% of net revenue, in the first nine months of 2024, with the increase primarily driven by planned investments in the Company's new brand marketing campaign in the first quarter.

Net loss in the first nine months of 2025 was $57.7 million compared to $67.6 million in the first nine months of 2024, and net loss margin was 55.1% compared to 50.5% in the first nine months of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA loss¹ in the first nine months of 2025 was $46.9 million compared to a loss of $50.9 million in the first nine months of 2024, and adjusted EBITDA margin⁽¹⁾ declined to (44.8)% compared to (38.0)% for the first nine months of 2024.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of September 30, 2025, Allbirds had $23.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $12.3 million of outstanding borrowings under its $50.0 million asset-backed revolving credit facility. Inventories totaled $43.1 million, a decrease of 25.0% versus a year ago, which is in line with expectations.

² A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to corresponding GAAP financial measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort as we are currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty certain expense items that are excluded in calculating adjusted EBITDA, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP. We have provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the section titled“Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for our third quarter 2025 and 2024 results included in this press release.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release and related conference call contain“forward-looking” statements, as the term is defined under federal securities laws, that are based on management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. All statements other than statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our future financial performance, including our financial outlook on financial results and guidance targets, planned transition to a distributors model in certain international markets, anticipated profitability of distributor model, future profitability, focus on improving efficiencies and driving profitability, estimated and/or targeted cost savings, medium-term financial targets, market position, future results of operations, financial condition, business strategy and plans, efforts related to liquidity (including use of existing debt and equity facilities, supplemental debt and equity financing opportunities, and strategic transactions we may pursue), marketing strategy and investment, materials innovation, retail store updates, new product launches, and objectives of management for future operations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as“designed,”“objective,”“anticipate,”“believe,”“contemplate,”“continue,”“could,”“estimate,”“expect,”“intend,”“may,”“plan,”“potential,”“predict,”“project,”“should,”“target,”“will,” or“would” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results or facts to differ materially from those statements expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: unfavorable economic conditions; our ability to execute our long-term growth strategy; fluctuations in our operating results; our ability to achieve the financial outlook and guidance targets; our ability to obtain additional capital; our ability to achieve our cost savings targets by 2025; deteriorating economic conditions, including economic recession, inflation, tax rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or the availability of capital; impairment of long-lived assets; the strength of our brand; our introduction of new products; our net losses since inception; the competitive marketplace; our reliance on technical and materials innovation; our use of sustainable high-quality materials and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes and supply chain practices; our ability to attract new customers and increase sales to existing customers; the impact of climate change and government and investor focus on sustainability issues; our ability to anticipate product trends and consumer preferences, including with respect to the product launches we have planned for 2025; breaches of security or privacy of business information; and our ability to forecast consumer demand. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment in which new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause our actual results or performance to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make.

A further discussion of these and other factors that could cause our financial results, performance, and achievements to differ materially from any results, performance, or achievements anticipated, expressed, or implied by these forward-looking statements is included in the filings we make with the SEC, including our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and other reports we may file with the SEC from time to time. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release and related conference call relate only to events as of the date stated or, if no date is stated, as of the date of this press release and related conference call. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this press release to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in or expressed by, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and accompanying financial tables include references to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that providing these non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, and not in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations under GAAP, are useful to investors as they are widely used measures of performance, and the adjustments we make to these non-GAAP financial measures may provide investors further insight into our profitability and additional perspectives in comparing our performance to other companies and in comparing our performance over time on a consistent basis. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to net loss or net loss margin as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, impairment expense, restructuring expense (consisting of professional fees, personnel and related expenses, and other related charges resulting from our strategic initiatives), non-cash gains or losses on the sales of businesses relating to our strategic initiatives, other income or expense (consisting of non-cash gains or losses on foreign currency, non-cash gains or losses on sales of property and equipment, and non-cash gains or losses on modifications or terminations of leases), interest income or expense, and income tax provision or benefit.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue.

Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these adjusted financial measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, we consider, and investors should consider, these adjusted financial measures together with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
