This presentation includes market data and other statistical information from our own internal estimates and research as well as surveys conducted by third parties. While we believe that surveys conducted by third parties are reliable, we have not independently verified third-party sources. While we believe our internal company research is reliable and the definitions of our market and industry are appropriate, neither such research nor these definitions have been verified by any independent source. This presentation includes references to our Net Promoter Score, which we use to measure our customers' brand loyalty and satisfaction and which can range from -100 to +100 based on the question: "How likely are you to recommend Allbirds to a friend or colleague?" Responses were collected from 0 (Would definitely not recommend) to 10 (Would definitely recommend). Our Net Promoter Score is based on a survey of approximately 2,000 consumers, commissioned by us and conducted by Boston Consulting Group in January 2023. Our Net Promoter Score was calculated by using the standard methodology of subtracting the percentage of customers who responded that they are not likely to recommend Allbirds (a score of 6 or lower) from the percentage of customers who responded that they are very likely to recommend Allbirds (a score of 9 or 10) and averaged across all geographic markets. The Net Promoter Score gives no weight to customers who declined to answer the survey question. This method is substantially consistent with how businesses across our industry and other industries typically calculate their Net Promoter Score. 02#3November 2023 Allbirds Has a Strong Foundation allbirds Purpose Led Brand NPS Digitally Native Model Strategic Transformation Plan Customer Insights-Driven Innovation Deep Management Bench 03#4November 2023 Extensive Consumer Insights Work Informing Our Strategies(¹) NPS one of the highest in peer group Strong brand loyalty and satisfaction rates Opportunity to improve conversion with female customers who generally have higher awareness than men, but lower purchase consideration allbirds Sharply defined a new consumer segment, coined "Changemaker" Desire for products that fit with an active lifestyle (1) Based on a survey of -2,000 consumers, commissioned by Allbirds and conducted by Boston Consulting Group in January 2023 96% of shoppers would consider purchasing from Allbirds again Core customer is 35-45 and skews female Active lifestyle, adventurous and world traveler Partial to premium products and brands Ceace Strategic Transformation Plan 66. 3 reasons customers recommend Allbirds: Quality, Comfort, Design Cares about the environment and making a positive impact 06#5November 2023 The Road to Transformation Allbirds Was Born in 2016 Launched the Wool Runner, dubbed "The most comfortable shoe in the world" by TIME.
