2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BARK, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 10, 2026.

The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, included herein, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including certain notes required by U.S. GAAP, required on an annual reporting basis.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods. The results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter, the year ending March 31, 2027, or any other period.

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the audited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026.

Although the Company has incurred recurring losses in each fiscal year since inception, the Company expects its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months.

Use of Estimates—The Company makes estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in its condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, judgments and assumptions.

The Company bases its estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The most significant estimates relate to determination of fair value of the Company’s allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, excess and obsolete inventory, stand-alone selling price of Direct to Consumer offerings, and fair value of right-of-use assets. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and records adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, are carried at historical cost. At September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of their short-term nature.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:

Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

Level 2—Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data for the related assets or liabilities.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Restricted Cash—The Company had cash held as collateral by our payments processor for BARK Air and an escrow account under the surety bond requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had classified $5.5 million within prepaid expenses and other current assets, as restricted cash. As of March 31, 2026 the Company had classified $5.9 million within prepaid expenses and other current assets, as restricted cash.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers and Suppliers—Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents withtwo financial institutions.

The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from sales contracts with large retail customers. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on customer accounts when deemed necessary. Accounts receivable, net was $20.3 million and $12.3 million, and $9.5 million as of September 30, 2026, March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

Significant customers are those that represent more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues or gross accounts receivable balance at each balance sheet date. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not have any customers that accounted for 10% or more of total revenues. The Company had two customers that accounted for 56% and three customers that accounted for 42% of gross accounts receivable as of

September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively. The Company’s accounts receivable relates to sales to customers within the Commerce segment, which represented 25.5% and 18.4% of total revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively.

Significant suppliers are those that represent more than 10% of the Company’s total finished goods purchased or accounts payable at each balance sheet date. During the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company had three suppliers that accounted for 47% and 46% of total finished goods purchased, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company had three suppliers that accounted for 50% and 49% of total finished goods purchased, respectively.

4. DEBT

Western Alliance Bank—Revolving Line of Credit

In October 2017, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with and issued a warrant to purchase preferred stock (“Initial Western Alliance Warrant”) to Western Alliance Bank (“Western Alliance”), which provides for a revolving line of credit (as amended, the “Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $35.0 million. Availability under the Credit Facility is subject to borrowing base limitations derived from advance rates applied to the Company’s eligible subscription revenues and eligible accounts receivable and any advance is subject to Western Alliance’s prior approval at its discretion. The Credit Facility includes a sublimit of up to $7.0 million for the issuance of standby letters of credit which the Company uses primarily to support lease, supplier and customs obligations without restricting cash. Letters of credit reduce availability on the Credit Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. After giving effect to this most recent amendment, the maturity date of the Credit Facility is February 25, 2027. Certain of the Company’s obligations to Western Alliance and under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of its subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of their assets. The Company intends to enter into a longer term renewal of the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility has a borrowing base subject to an amount equal to eighty percent (80.00%) of the Company’s trailing three months of subscription revenue and an amount equal to eighty percent (80.00%) of certain of the Company’s customer accounts receivable when a collateral audit is performed and sixty percent (60.00%) when no such collateral audit is performed. Western Alliance has first perfected security in substantially all of the Company’s assets, including its rights to its intellectual property.

The Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with certain financial and performance covenants, including, among other things, minimum cash deposits with Western Alliance. The Credit Facility also contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limitations or prohibitions on repurchasing common shares, declaring and paying dividends and other distributions, making payments in respect of subordinated debt, incurring indebtedness, making loans and investments, incurring liens, or entering into mergers, asset sales and transactions with affiliates.

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

Equity Incentive Plans

The Barkbox, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “2011 Plan”) provides for the award of stock options and other equity interests in the Company to directors, officers, employees, advisors or consultants of the Company.

On June 1, 2021, in connection with the Merger, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) became effective and 846,475 authorized shares of common stock were reserved for issuance thereunder. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date of the Merger, options to purchase shares of Legacy BARK’s common stock previously issued under the 2011 Plan were converted into options to purchase an aggregate of 1,469,517 shares of BARK common stock.

For each fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2022 and ending on (and including) March 31, 2031, the aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2021 Plan may be increased by a number, determined and approved by the Board on or before May 1st of such fiscal year, not to exceed 5% of the total number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the last day of the preceding fiscal year. In April 2026, the Board approved an increase of the aggregate number of common stock that may be issued under the 2021 Plan by 433,926 shares. As of September 30, 2026,1,140,891 shares of common stock were available for the Company to grant under the 2021 Plan; there wereno remaining shares available for grant under the 2011 Plan. Periodically, the Company issues new hire, promotion and other awards under the 2021 Plan and awards may be forfeited resulting in the underlying shares returning to the 2021 Plan. In addition, to the extent any awards remain outstanding under the 2011 Plan, and such awards are forfeited, the underlying shares return to the 2021 Plan.

The 2011 and 2021 Plans (together, the “Plans”) are administered by the Company’s Compensation Committee of its Board (the “Compensation Committee”). The exercise prices, vesting and other restrictions are determined by the Board, except that the exercise price per share of a stock option may not be less than 100% of the fair value of the common share on the date of grant. Stock options awarded under the Plans typically expire 10 years after the date of grant and generally have vesting conditions of 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and 75% on a quarterly basis at a rate of 1/12th, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee. Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) awarded under the plan for the purchase of common stock will vest based on continued service which is generally four years, and generally have vesting conditions of 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and 75% on a quarterly basis at a rate of 1/12th, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee. The grant date fair value of the award will be recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of the RSUs is estimated on the date of grant based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock. The Plans provide that the Compensation Committee shall determine the vesting conditions of awards granted under the Plans, and the Compensation Committee has, from time to time, approved vesting schedules for certain awards that deviate from the vesting conditions described in this paragraph.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In June 2021, the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2021 ESPP”) became effective. The 2021 ESPP authorizes the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to purchase rights granted to employees. On the first day of each fiscal year commencing on April 1, 2022 and ending on (and including) March 31, 2041, the aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the ESPP shall increase by a number, determined by the Board on or before May 1st of such fiscal year, not to exceed the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the last day of the preceding fiscal year or (ii)75,000 shares of common stock. If the Board does not determine to increase the aggregate number of shares of common stock in the ESPP by May 1 of the applicable fiscal year, then the increase shall bezero for that year.

In April 2026, the Board approved the authorization of an additional 75,000 shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2021 ESPP. As of September 30, 2026, a total of 283,396 shares of common stock have been reserved for future issuance under the 2021 ESPP.

Employees who elect to participate in the ESPP commence payroll withholdings that accumulate through the end of the respective offering period. In accordance with the guidance in ASC 718-50 - Compensation - Stock Compensation, the ability to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock for eighty-five percent (85%) of the lower of the price on the first day of the offering period or the last day of the offering period (i.e. the purchase date) represents an option and, therefore, the ESPP is a compensatory plan under this guidance. Accordingly, share-based compensation expense is determined based on the option’s grant-date fair value as estimated by applying the Black Scholes option-pricing model and is recognized over the withholding period.

During thesix months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, employees who elected to participate in the ESPP purchased atotal of 9,509 and 12,483 shares of common stock, respectively, at an average price of $8.39 and $17.80, respectively. ESPP employee payroll contributions accrued as of September 30, 2026 were less than $0.1 million, and are included within accrued and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Cash withheld via employee payroll deductions to purchase common stock is presented in financing activities as proceeds from stock purchases under employee stock purchase plan on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Litigation

On March 20, 2024, three alleged stockholders filed a putative class action complaint in the lawsuit styled Kenville v. Northern Star Sponsor LLC, et al., Case No. 2024-276, which is pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The lawsuit asserts claims arising from Northern Star Acquisition Corp.’s (“Northern Star”) 2021 acquisition of Legacy BARK. The claims are asserted on behalf of a putative class consisting of Northern Star stockholders who held stock as of the redemption deadline and who elected not to redeem all or some of their stock. On February 21, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a Verified Second Amended Complaint (the “SAC”), which asserts claims that certain former officers and directors of Northern Star breached fiduciary duties to Northern Star’s stockholders and were unjustly enriched in connection with the acquisition of Legacy BARK and that Legacy BARK, two of its founders, and BARK, Inc. (collectively, the “BARK Defendants”) aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. On March 7, 2025, the BARK Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the aiding and abetting claim alleged against them, and the remaining defendants filed an answer to the SAC. On July 1, 2025, the Court entered an order granting the parties’ stipulation dismissing the claims against the BARK Defendants without prejudice. On October 31, 2025, the Court entered an order granting plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. Fact discovery in the case is currently proceeding, and the case is set for a trial to begin September 8, 2027.

On March 12, 2026, an individual plaintiff filed a putative class action complaint in the lawsuit styled Steuer v. BarkBox, Inc., Case No. 1:26-cv-02038, which is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuit asserts claims arising from BarkBox, Inc.’s alleged delivery of unsolicited marketing text messages to telephone numbers registered on the National Do-Not-Call Registry in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”), 47 U.S.C. § 227, et seq. The plaintiff asserts his claims on behalf of a putative class consisting of all persons in the United States whose telephone numbers were on the National Do-Not-Call Registry for at least 31 days but who received more thanone telemarketing text message from or on behalf of BarkBox, Inc. promoting its goods or services within a 12-month period at any time in the period beginning four years before the date the complaint was filed through trial. The complaint seeks certification of the class, statutory damages of up to $500 per violation pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 227(c)(5), treble damages for willful or knowing violations, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. Fact discovery is currently proceeding with no trial date set yet.

On May 13, 2026, an individual plaintiff filed a putative class action complaint in the lawsuit styled Davidson v. BarkBox, Inc., Case No. 26-2-15886-0 SEA, which was pending in the Superior Court of the State of Washington, King County, but is now in the Western District of Washington at Seattle after BarkBox’s removal of the case, which is subject to the court’s order to show cause as to why the case should not be remanded. The lawsuit asserts claims under Washington’s Commercial Electronic Mail Act (“CEMA”), RCW 19.190, et seq. and the Washington Consumer Protection Act (“CPA”), RCW 19.86, arising from BarkBox, Inc.’s alleged transmission of commercial marketing emails containing false or misleading subject lines to Washington residents. The complaint alleges that BarkBox, Inc. sent emails with subject lines falsely representing that advertised discounts were internal, employee-only offers or were available for a limited time only, when in fact the promotions were publicly available and repeatedly extended. The plaintiff’s claims are asserted on behalf of a putative class consisting of all Washington residents who received promotional emails from BarkBox, Inc. with subject lines advertising supposedly internal or time-limited sales or discounts on BarkBox products within the governing statute of limitations. The complaint seeks certification of the class, the greater of actual or statutory damages of $500 per email, treble damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. BarkBox has filed a motion to compel arbitration or, in the alternative, to dismiss, which is currently pending. The case has a trial date of May 17, 2027.

In addition, the Company is from time to time subject to, and is presently involved in, litigation and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. While it is not possible to determine the outcome of any legal proceedings brought against the Company, the Company believes that, except for the matter described above, there are no pending lawsuits or claims that, individually or in the aggregate, may have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or operating results.

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was calculated as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company excluded the following potentially dilutive securities, which include stock options, RSUs, warrants, convertible notes, and ESPP shares, from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be antidilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same for each of the three and six months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

12. SEGMENTS

The Company applies ASC 280, Segment Reporting, in determining reportable segments for its financial statement disclosure. The Company operates and manages the business across multiple operating segments which are aggregated based on similar qualitative and economic characteristics intotwo reportable segments: Direct to Consumer and Commerce. The Direct to Consumer segment derives revenue primarily from the sale of toys & accessories and consumables through BarkBox, Super Chewer, and the Company’s website, Bark.co. The Commerce segment derives revenue primarily from the sale of individual toys through major retailers and online marketplaces. Reporting in this format provides management with the financial information necessary to evaluate the success of the segments and the overall business. There are no internal revenue transactions between the Company’s segments.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and manages and allocates resources between the Direct to Consumer and Commerce segments. Consistent with this decision-making process, the CODM uses financial information disaggregated between the Direct to Consumer and Commerce segment for purposes of evaluating performance, forecasting future period financial results, allocating resources and setting incentive targets. The CODM evaluates segment business performance based primarily on gross profit. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments and also uses segment gross profit for evaluating product pricing. The Company does not allocate assets at the reportable segment level as these are managed on an entity-wide group basis and, accordingly, the Company does not report asset information by segments. Foreign sales were immaterial for the three and six months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Key financial performance measures of the segments including net revenue, cost of revenue, and gross profit are as follows (in thousands):
