Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include those of Berkshire Grey and its subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. The Company prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The information included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods and dates presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

For the Company’s subsidiaries that transact in a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end foreign exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average foreign exchange rates for the period. Translation adjustments are excluded from the determination of net income and are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, realizability of deferred fulfillment costs, inventory, warranty cost, accounting for stock-based compensation (including performance-based assessments), and accounting for income taxes and related valuation allowances. Actual results may differ from estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents.

Sales of the Company’s products are concentrated among specific customers. At September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, eight and two customers accounted for approximately 100% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company generated approximately 100% of revenues from nine and eleven customers, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company generated 100% of revenues from six customers. The Company believes that credit risks associated with these contracts are not significant due to the customers’ financial strength.

The Company places cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by these institutions to the extent the amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheets exceeds federally insured limits.

FedEx Warrant

The FedEx Warrant (defined in Note 16, "Common Stock and Warrants") is accounted for as an equity instrument and measured in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. This instrument is classified in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. For awards granted to a customer, which are not in exchange for distinct goods or services, the fair value of the awards earned based on service or performance conditions is recorded as a reduction of the transaction price, in accordance with ASC 606. To determine the fair value of the FedEx Warrant in accordance with ASC 718, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model which is based in part on assumptions that require management to use judgment. Based on the fair value of the award, the Company determines the amount of non-cash stock-based sales incentive charges on the customer’s pro-rata achievement of vesting conditions, which is recorded as a reduction of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 16 for additional information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 and its related amendments (collectively referred to as ASC 842) amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 840, Leases. The new standard increases transparency and comparability most significantly by requiring the recognition by lessees of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases. To account for leases as a lessee, the Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective method, whereby the new guidance is applied prospectively as of the date of adoption and prior periods are not to be restated. The Company elected the package of practical expedients which permits the Company to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. Additionally, the Company elected the following practical expedients: the Company has elected to not separate lease components from non-lease components in its lease contract; the Company will not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to its leases with lease terms of 12 months or less but rather recognize the lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The adoption of the lease standard did not change the Company's previously reported consolidated statements of operations and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity. Adoption of the lease standard had a material impact on its condensed consolidated balance sheet (Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies").

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. This accounting update removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. We prospectively adopted the accounting update on January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
