Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Preparation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented in U.S. dollars and prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. Principles of Consolidation—The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allbirds, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Impacts of the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) Pandemic In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported, and during 2020 and 2021 expanded into a worldwide pandemic, leading to significant business and supply chain disruptions. The outbreak was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020 and has caused governments and public health officials to impose restrictions and to recommend precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, aspects of our business continued to be affected by COVID-19. A majority of our retail stores around the world remained open, while certain locations in China were temporarily closed based on local government and public health authority guidance in that market. No retail stores have permanently closed to date. Our distribution centers and retail stores continue to operate with restrictive and precautionary measures in place, subject to national, state, and local rules and regulations. At times, our suppliers and logistical service providers have experienced disruptions that have affected our operations worldwide. Similar impacts or other disruptions could occur in the future. Given the uncertainty regarding the length, severity, and ability to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot reasonably estimate the future impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and are recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. We have been and will continue to actively monitor the impact of COVID-19 on the Company. Segments—Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. Our CODMs are the co-Chief Executive Officers. We operate in one operating segment and one reportable segment, as the CODMs review financial information presented on an aggregate basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable results from sales to customers, including credit card deposits in transit at the balance sheet date, the majority of which are settled within two to three business days. Credit card receivables were $1.9 million and $2.2 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we made an accounting policy change to present customer accounts receivable, that are not credit card receivables, within the accounts receivable line on the condensed consolidated balance sheet to align with management’s reporting. These types of receivables were historically immaterial and are included in prepaid and other current assets within the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes for periods presented prior to the fourth quarter of 2021. Revenue Recognition—For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $1.0 million and $0.7 million of revenue that was deferred as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in cash collections of purchases via our digital channel which had not yet shipped, and $3.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in gift card liabilities included in deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The deferred revenue balance of $3.6 million at March 31, 2022 is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months. We record a reserve for estimated product returns, based upon historical return trends, in each reporting period against revenue, as a component of net revenue, with an offsetting increase to accrued expenses. We recorded a sales refund reserve of $3.9 million and $5.5 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We have also recorded a related inventory returns receivable, with an offsetting decrease to cost of revenue, for product returns of $1.0 million and $1.4 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The inventory returns receivable is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We recognized the following net revenue by geographic area based on the primary shipping address of the customer where the sale was made in our digital channel, and based on the physical store location where the sale was at a retail store. The following table disaggregates our net revenue by geographic area, where no individual foreign country contributed in excess of 10% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:
| Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands) | 2022 |  | 2021
Net revenue by primary geographical market: |  |  |
United States | $ | 48,944 |  |  | $ | 36,258 |
International | 13,819 |  |  | 13,379 |
| $ | 62,763 |  |  | $ | 49,637 |
Comprehensive Loss—Comprehensive loss represents net loss for the period plus the results of certain other changes in stockholder’s equity (deficit). For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded other comprehensive loss of $0.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments, particularly changes in the euro, Chinese yuan, British pound, Japanese yen, Korean won, Canadian dollar, and New Zealand dollar. Restricted Cash—Restricted cash serves as collateral for a bond with the United States Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”), which allows us to take possession of our inventory before all formalities with the CBP are completed for imported products. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $0.6 million and $0.0 million of restricted cash, respectively. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions—Adjustments resulting from translating foreign functional currency financial statements of our global subsidiaries into U.S. dollars are included in the foreign currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. The remeasurement of our global subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities, which are denominated in a foreign currency, are recorded in other expense, within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Fair Value Measurements—Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. It clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1—Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets Level 2—Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires us to develop our own assumptions. This hierarchy requires us to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. Refer to Note 8, Fair Value Measurements, for further details. Recent Accounting Pronouncements—As an “emerging growth company,” the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, allows us to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. For certain pronouncements, we have elected to use the adoption dates applicable to private companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective date for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-15, Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). In discussing the topic of cloud computing accounting, ASU 2018-15 aligns the accounting for costs incurred to implement a cloud computing arrangement that is a service arrangement with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 can be applied on a retrospective or prospective basis and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. On January 1, 2021, we adopted ASU 2018-15 prospectively and cloud computing implementation costs incurred on or after January 1, 2021 are included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are presented within operating cash flows. As of March 31, 2022, capitalized implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements were not material. The adoption did not have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this update as of January 1, 2022, and noted no effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements, which updated various codification topics by clarifying or improving disclosure requirements to align with the SEC’s regulations. We adopted this update as of January 1, 2022, and noted no effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet by the lessees for lease contracts with a lease term of more than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 can be applied on a modified retrospective basis, in which entities can present all prior periods under previous lease accounting guidance while recognizing the cumulative effect of applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-05, Effective Dates for Certain Entities, which deferred the effective date for nonpublic entities, including emerging growth companies, that had not yet adopted the original ASU. Under the amended guidance, the leasing standard will be effective for our fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We intend to adopt the standards and related disclosures, effective for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and interim periods within our fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. While we continue to finalize the financial impact of adoption, we expect to record a material right-of-use asset and liability on the consolidated balance sheet related to our operating leases and do not expect a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
