  • 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.

“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.

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.
