At the effective time of the Domestication Merger, by virtue of the Domestication Merger: (a) each then-outstanding share of common stock of Bird Global was redeemed for par value; (b) each then-outstanding Class A ordinary share of Switchback was cancelled and converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Bird Global (the “Class A Common Stock”); (c) each then-outstanding Class B ordinary share of Switchback was cancelled and converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, Bird Global (the “Class B Common Stock”) (with such shares of Class B Common Stock thereafter converting, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition Merger (as defined below)); (d) each then-outstanding warrant of Switchback was assumed and converted automatically into a warrant to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock (the “Warrants”), pursuant to that certain warrant agreement by and between Switchback and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company; and (e) each then-outstanding unit of Switchback, each consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-fifth of one warrant of Switchback, was canceled and converted into a unit of Bird Global, each consisting of one share of Class A Common Stock and one-fifth of one Warrant. On November 4, 2021, as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Bird Rides (the “Acquisition Merger”), with Bird Rides surviving the Acquisition Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bird Global. Substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Acquisition Merger, certain investors purchased an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share pursuant to subscription agreements. On November 4, 2021, as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, immediately prior to the effective time of the Acquisition Merger, each then-outstanding share of preferred stock of Bird converted automatically into a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, of Bird Rides at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to the certificate of incorporation of Bird Rides (the “Conversion”). At the effective time of the Acquisition Merger, pursuant to the Acquisition Merger: (a) each then-outstanding share of common stock of Bird Rides, including shares of common stock resulting from the Conversion, but excluding then-outstanding shares of restricted stock of Bird Rides, were canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive (i) (A) with respect to Travis VanderZanden, the number of shares of Class X common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Bird Global (“Class X Common Stock”) and (B) with respect to any other persons who held common stock of Bird Rides, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, in each case, equal to the applicable exchange ratio (determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement) (the “Exchange Ratio”) and (ii) the contingent right to receive certain Earnout Shares (as defined below); (b) each then-outstanding and unexercised warrant of Bird Rides was automatically assumed and converted into a Warrant based on the Exchange Ratio and at an adjusted exercise price per share (determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement); (c) each then-outstanding and unexercised option of Bird Rides was converted into (i) an option exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio and (ii) the contingent right to receive certain Earnout Shares; (d) each then-outstanding award of restricted stock of Bird Rides was converted into (i) an award covering shares of Class A Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio and (ii) the contingent right to receive certain Earnout Shares; and (e) each then-outstanding award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of Bird Rides was converted into (i) an award covering shares of Class A Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio and (ii) the contingent right to receive certain Earnout Shares. At the effective time of the Acquisition Merger and in connection with the Acquisition Merger, each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock was converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Class A Common Stock and each unit of Bird Global separated into one share of Class A Common Stock and one-fifth of one Warrant. The Business Combination was accounted for as a recapitalization with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Financial Reporting Manual. Under this method of accounting, Switchback was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Bird issuing stock for the net assets of Switchback, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Switchback were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bird Global and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the accounting disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC regarding financial reporting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Going Concern The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $1,539.9 million as of December 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company used approximately $56.8 million of cash in operations. The Company’s ability to fund working capital, make capital expenditures, and service its debt will depend on its ability to generate cash from operating activities, which is subject to its future operating success, and obtaining financing on reasonable terms, which is subject to factors beyond its control, including general economic, political, and financial market conditions. The capital markets have in the past experienced, are currently experiencing, and may in the future experience, periods of volatility that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing and there can be no assurances that such financing will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms, or at all. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $33.5 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents which, without additional funding, will not be sufficient to meet the Company’s obligations within the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand its operations and invest in continued innovation, it may not be able to compete successfully and may need to scale back or discontinue certain or all of its operations in order to reduce costs or seek bankruptcy protection, which would harm its business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, on March 10, 2023, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) took control of Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) and created the National Bank of Santa Clara to hold the deposits of SVB after SVB was unable to continue its operations. On March 12, 2023, the FDIC, U.S. Department of the Treasury, and Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System issued a joint press release stating that all depositors would have access to all of their money beginning on March 13, 2023. As of March 16, 2023, we have access to our cash on deposit with SVB. If the Company were to lose all or a significant portion of the amount it has deposited at SVB or another depository institution, that could adversely impact the Company’s operating liquidity and financial performance. As such, these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates estimates that are subject to significant judgment, including, but are not limited to, those related to breakage revenue, useful lives associated with vehicles, valuation of goodwill, Product Sales inventory and inventory deposits, and other long-lived assets, assumptions utilized in the valuation of derivative liabilities and certain equity awards, loss contingencies, valuation allowance for deferred income taxes, and the collectability of accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase. Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market securities and all cash and money market investments are deposited with institutions management believes are of high credit quality. Cash equivalents are stated at fair value. Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents Restricted cash and cash equivalents are pledged as security for letters of credit or other collateral established by the Company for certain insurance policies and various other contractual arrangements. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had issued irrevocable standby letters of credit of $5.5 million and $25.6 million, respectively. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are classified as current or non-current based on the contractual or estimated term of the remaining restriction. Current restricted cash and cash equivalents balances as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $5.0 million and $30.1 million, respectively. Non-current restricted cash and cash equivalents balances as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable represent uncollected balances due from retail customers and partners to which we sell the white labeled version of our products and technology (“Bird Platform”). Amounts are recorded at the invoice value, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Inventory, net Inventory consists of vehicles and spare parts available for sale, valued at the lower of cost based on an average cost method or net realizable value. This valuation requires the Company to make judgments, based on currently available information. The average cost of inventory consists of the price paid for the aforementioned vehicles and spare parts plus freight from manufacturers and any customs or duties incurred. Inventory is comprised entirely of finished goods. During the year ended December 31, 2022, given our initiative announced in May 2022 to slow the expansion of our Product Sales portfolio offering and realign our resources to prioritize Sharing operations within our existing regions, combined with the current adverse macroeconomic environment, including a shift in consumer demand away from longer lead time discretionary items, the Company recognized a lower of cost or net realizable value impairment on Product Sales inventory of $31.8 million, which is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Contract Terminations Our capital expenditure cycle often requires us to pay deposits to secure orders for the Product Sales business. The Company records deposits based on the amount of cash paid to secure future production, and evaluates the assets for impairment, as needed. During the year ended December 31, 2022, given our initiative announced in May 2022 to slow the expansion of our Product Sales portfolio offering and realign our resources to prioritize Sharing operations within our existing regions, combined with the current adverse macroeconomic environment, including a shift in consumer demand away from longer lead time discretionary items, the Company recognized an impairment on certain contractual deposits of $14.7 million, which is included within Impairment of assets in the consolidated statements of operations. Vehicle Deposits Vehicle deposits consist of prepayments on vehicles and spare parts to which the Company does not yet have title. Vehicles, net Vehicles consist of vehicles that are used within the Company’s Sharing business. The capitalized cost of vehicles includes freight from manufacturers and any customs or duties incurred. The vehicles balance is comprised of those vehicles that are in transit from the contract manufacturer to Bird, held by Bird but not yet deployed in market, and those that are deployed in market and available for use in our Sharing business. We recognize depreciation related to the vehicles used in our Sharing business using a usage-based depreciation methodology based on the number of rides taken by customers. The estimated total number of lifetime rides of our vehicles are based on many factors, including historical ride information and any anticipated changes to future vehicle utilization. Spare parts are expensed as a cost of revenue when used by the Company for vehicle maintenance and repairs. The Company updates its estimated useful life assumption based on changes in activity of the vehicles and accelerates depreciation on vehicles that have been determined to be no longer active. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In estimating future tax consequences, generally all expected future events other than enactments or changes in the tax law or rates are considered. The Company accounts for uncertainty in tax positions recognized in the consolidated financial statements by recognizing a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not to be realized based on the weighting of positive and negative evidence. Future realization of deferred tax assets ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods available under the applicable tax law. The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. The Company’s judgment regarding future profitability may change due to many factors, including future market conditions and the ability to successfully execute its business plans and/or tax planning strategies. Should there be a change in the ability to recover deferred tax assets, the Company’s income tax provision would increase or decrease in the period in which the assessment is changed. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from one year to five years as shown in the table below. Useful lives used to depreciate our property and equipment are assessed periodically and adjusted when warranted. Additions, replacements, and improvements that extend the asset’s useful life are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs that do not enhance or extend the asset’s useful life are charged to expense as incurred. Estimated Useful Life Computer hardware, software, and equipment One Furniture and fixtures Three years Leasehold improvements Shorter of estimated useful life or lease term Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets for Impairment The Company evaluates its held-and-used long-lived assets for indicators of possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group (collectively, the “asset group”) may not be recoverable. The Company measures the recoverability of the asset group by comparing the carrying amount of such asset group to the future undiscounted cash flows it expects the asset group to generate. If the Company considers the asset group to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company estimated the recoverability of long-lived assets within the North America, EMEA, and Other asset groups by comparing the estimated fair value of each asset group to its carrying value. Due to the sustained decline in the Company’s market capitalization and current adverse macroeconomic environment, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $89.4 million within the EMEA and Other asset groups, which is included within Impairment of assets Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations and is allocated to reporting units expected to benefit from the business combinations. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level, in the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of net assets has decreased below its carrying value. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgement, including identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. The Company operates three reporting units, which are the same as its reporting segments described in Note 17 — Segment Information. When testing goodwill for impairment, in accordance with Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The qualitative factors include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, and the overall financial performance of the Company. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then additional impairment testing is not required. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, the Company proceeds to the quantitative assessment. The quantitative assessment compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no additional steps are necessary. However, if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. During the year ended December 31, 2022, due to the sustained decline in the Company’s market capitalization and current adverse macroeconomic environment, the Company completed a quantitative impairment test for the North America and EMEA reporting units, comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. As a result, the Company impaired the entire carrying value of North America and EMEA goodwill, which are included within Impairment of assets in the consolidated statements of operations. Derivative Liabilities Earnout Shares In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company designated 30 million shares of Class A Common Stock (“Earnout Shares”) to be issued to all Eligible Equity Holders (as defined below), subject to occurrence during the Earnout Period (as defined below) of the Earnout Triggering Events (as defined below). An “Eligible Equity Holder” means a holder of a share of common stock, including a share of restricted stock, a stock option or an RSU of Bird Rides, in each case, immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The “Earnout Period” means the five-year period ending on November 4, 2026. The three separate “Earnout Triggering Events” are as follows: • “Earnout Triggering Event I” is the date on which the daily volume-weighted average sale price of one share of Class A Common Stock quoted on the NYSE is greater than or equal to $12.50 for any ten trading days within any 20 consecutive trading day period within the Earnout Period; • “Earnout Triggering Event II” is the date on which the daily volume-weighted average sale price of one share of Class A Common Stock quoted on the NYSE is greater than or equal to $20.00 for any ten trading days within any 20 consecutive trading day period within the Earnout Period; and • “Earnout Triggering Event III” is the date on which the daily volume-weighted average sale price of one share of Class A Common Stock quoted on the NYSE is greater than or equal to $30.00 for any ten trading days within any 20 consecutive trading day period within the Earnout Period. Of the 30.0 million Earnout Shares, 27,925,828 shares are designated for the holders of common stock of Bird Rides immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and are not subject to a continued service requirement. This portion of the Earnout Shares is classified as a liability due to failure to meet the equity classification criteria under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40. The Earnout Shares liability was measured at fair value at the effective time of the Acquisition Merger, and is remeasured at fair value through other income (expense) at each subsequent reporting period, most recently as of December 31, 2022. The Company calculated the grant-date fair value of the liability-classified Earnout Shares based on multiple stock price paths on a monthly basis over the Earnout Period, developed through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation model. A Monte Carlo simulation model requires the use of various assumptions, including the underlying stock price, volatility, and the risk-free interest rate as of the valuation date. Switchback Founder Earn Back Shares In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, NGP Switchback II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and certain officers and directors of Switchback entered into an amendment to the letter agreement, dated January 7, 2021, pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed, effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, to subject to potential forfeiture (on a pro rata basis) an aggregate of 1,976,563 shares of Class A Common Stock held by them (“Switchback Founder Earn Back Shares”), of which (i) 988,281 Switchback Founder Earn Back Shares will no longer be subject to potential forfeiture if the average reported last sale price of one share of our Class A Common Stock quoted on the NYSE is greater than or equal to $12.50 for any ten trading days within any 20 consecutive trading day period within the Earnout Period and (ii) 988,281 Switchback Founder Earn Back Shares will no longer be subject to potential forfeiture if the average reported last sale price of one share of our Class A Common Stock quoted on the NYSE is greater than or equal to $15.00 for any ten trading days within any 20 consecutive trading day period within the Earnout Period. The Switchback Founder Earn Back Shares are classified as a liability due to failure to meet the equity classification criteria under ASC 815-40. The Switchback Founder Earn Back Shares liability was measured at fair value at the effective time of the Acquisition Merger, and is remeasured at fair value through other income (expense) at each subsequent reporting period, most recently as of December 31, 2022. The Company calculated the grant-date fair value of the liability-classified Switchback Founder Earn Back Shares based on multiple stock price paths on a monthly basis over the Earnout Period, developed through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation model. A Monte Carlo simulation model requires the use of various assumptions, including the underlying stock price, volatility, and the risk-free interest rate as of the valuation date. C-1 Warrants and Private Placement Warrants Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination, there were outstanding 59,908 warrants to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $13.36 per share (the “C-1 Warrants”) and 6,550,000 private placement warrants from Switchback (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at the exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain redemption rights. The C-1 Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are classified as liabilities due to failure to meet the equity classification criteria under ASC 815-40. The C-1 Warrants and Private Placement Warrants liabilities were measured at fair value on the date of grant. Both financial instruments are remeasured at fair value through other income (expense) at each subsequent reporting period, most recently as of December 31, 2022. The Company calculated the grant-date fair value of the C-1 Warrants and Private Placement Warrants based on the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model considers several variables and assumptions in estimating the fair value of financial instruments, including the per-share fair value of the underlying common stock, exercise price, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected stock price volatility over the expected term, and expected annual dividend yield. The Company calculated the expected term as the contractual expiration period. The risk-free interest rate is estimated using the rate of return on U.S. treasury notes with a life that approximates the expected term. The Company’s Class A Common Stock does not have sufficient trading history and, therefore, the Company used the historical volatility of the stock prices of similar publicly traded peer companies. The Company utilized a dividend yield of zero, as it had no history or plan of declaring dividends on its common stock. Public Warrants Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination, the Company assumed 6,324,972 public warrants from Switchback (the “Public Warrants”). Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at the exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Public Warrants are classified as a liability due to failure to meet the equity classification criteria under ASC 815-40. The Public Warrants liability was measured at fair value at the effective time of the Acquisition Merger, and is remeasured at fair value through other income (expense) at each subsequent reporting period, most recently as of December 31, 2022. The Company calculated the grant-date fair value of the Public Warrants based on the publicly traded price of the Public Warrants at the effective time of the Acquisition Merger. Fair Value Measurements GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market or, if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date (referred to as the “exit price”). Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including consideration of non-performance risk. The Company discloses and recognizes the fair value of its assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy indicates the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. • Level 1: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are observable. • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. • Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable to the extent that observable inputs are not available for the asset or liability at the measurement date and include management’s judgment about assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. The Company’s assets and liabilities listed above are based on Level 1 inputs. The Company’s derivative liabilities, such as the Earnout Shares, Switchback Earn Back Shares, C-1 Warrants, Private Placement Warrants, and Public Warrants, are remeasured at fair value through other income (expense) at each reporting period. Such fair value measurements are predominantly based on Level 3 inputs, with the exception of the Public Warrants, which are based on Level 1 inputs. The Company’s Convertible Senior Secured Notes are accounted for under the fair value option election of ASC 825-10, which states bifurcation of an embedded derivative is not necessary. The Notes were initially measured at its estimated fair value as of December 30, 2022. The estimated fair value adjustment is recognized as a component of other comprehensive income with respect to the portion of the fair value adjustment attributed to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk, with the remaining amount of the fair value adjustment recognized as other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. Such fair value measurements are predominantly based on Level 3 inputs. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the carrying value approximated fair value. For all liabilities measured at fair value, an increase or decrease in any of the observable inputs in isolation, such as the share price quoted on the NYSE, could result in a material increase or decrease in our estimate of fair value. Other unobservable inputs are less sensitive to the valuation in the respective reporting periods, as a result of the primary weighting on the share price and other observable inputs. In the future, depending on the weight of evidence and valuation approaches used, these or other inputs may have a more significant impact on our estimate of fair value. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis The Company’s non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, right-of-use assets, and property and equipment are adjusted to fair value when an impairment charge is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents, primarily consist of cash deposits and money market securities, and all cash and money market investments are deposited with institutions management believes are of high credit quality. The Company has not experienced any material losses related to these concentrations during the periods presented. No customer accounted for 10% or more of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021. Revenue Recognition For the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company recognized revenue from rides taken by individual users of the Bird mobile application (the “Bird App”) as part of Sharing, which the Company accounts for pursuant to ASC 842, Leases . Additionally, the Company recognized revenue from Product Sales, primarily comprised of vehicles sales, pursuant to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . Sales taxes, including value added taxes, are excluded from reported revenue. Sharing The Company’s technology platform enables users to participate in the Company’s Sharing program. To use a vehicle, the user contracts with the Company via acceptance of the Bird Rental Agreement and pays for the ride from a preloaded wallet balance, on a per-ride basis. The user must use the Bird App to access the shared vehicles and must end the ride on the Bird App to conclude the trip. The Company is responsible for providing access to the vehicles over the user’s desired period of use. The Company accounts for these revenues as operating lease revenue pursuant to ASC 842, Leases , and records revenue upon completion of each ride. The Company treats any credit, coupon, or rider incentive as a reduction to the revenue for the ride in the period to which it relates. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company completed a legal analysis to confirm that management had sufficiently mitigated the legal obligation to remit the value of the unredeemed preloaded wallet balances to the relevant jurisdiction as unclaimed or abandoned property in the United States. The Company recognizes the breakage amounts as revenue under the remote method, in which revenue is recognized when the likelihood of the customer exercising its remaining rights becomes remote. As a result of this change in estimate, the Company recognized $31.0 million of unredeemed preloaded wallet balances during the year ended December 31, 2022. Product Sales The Company sells vehicles directly to distributors, retailers, and consumers, generating Product Sales revenue. Revenue is generally recognized, net of taxes, upon fulfillment per the contractual delivery terms, as that is when title and control transfers to the customer and the performance obligation is considered fully satisfied. For sales direct to consumers, the Company has a 30-day return policy, during which a customer can return a vehicle for a full refund. There is no history of material returns across any of the Product Sales channels. The Company also guarantees Product Sales with a one-year limited warranty. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company disaggregates revenue into the Sharing and Product Sales categories disclosed on the consolidated statement of operations. Disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objectives to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Further disaggregation is presented in the segment footnote for revenues generated from North America, Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”), and Other. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue primarily consists of wallet payments made by customers. In connection with its Sharing business, Bird requires a wallet balance to be maintained in most countries to ensure cash collection for rides. An immaterial portion of deferred revenue also consists of deposits made by Product Sales customers for the purchase of vehicles and parts that have not yet been delivered. Practical Expedients and Exemptions The Company elected to use the practical expedient that allows it to expense the costs incurred to obtain a contract when the amortization period is one year or less. Tariff Reimbursement The U.S. government imposed Section 301 tariffs (the “Tariffs”) on certain goods imported from China into the United States, including Bird vehicles. Accordingly, the Company paid the required 25% Tariffs for the import of vehicles into the United States. The costs associated with the Tariffs were capitalized as part of the associated costs of the vehicles when the vehicles were purchased during fiscal years 2018 and 2019. The costs were then depreciated and included in the consolidated statement of operations consistent with our vehicle depreciation policy, with most of the expense being recognized in

As of December 31, 2022, we have not made a provision for the U.S. or additional foreign withholding taxes. Generally, such amounts become subject to U.S. taxation upon the remittance of dividends and under certain other circumstances. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of deferred tax liability related to investments in these foreign subsidiaries. The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020: December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Federal statutory income tax rate 21.0% 21.0% 21.0% Mark-to-market adjustments of Earnout and Earn Back Shares 7.9% 5.0% 0.0% Executive compensation (0.3)% (4.3)% 0.0% Goodwill Impairment (7.7)% 0.0% 0.0% Valuation allowance (14.5)% (22.7)% (22.9)% Other (7.0)% 0.9% 1.9% Effective income tax rate (0.6)% (0.1)% 0.0% The effective tax rate is different than the U.S. statutory federal tax rate primarily due to foreign and state taxes, transaction costs, mark-to-market adjustments, non-deductible goodwill impairment, and changes in the Company's valuation allowance. Deferred income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 consist of the following (in thousands): December 31, 2022 2021 Deferred tax assets Net operating losses $ 287,256 $ 284,411 Stock Based Compensation — — Fixed Assets 21,037 — Other 55,761 22,994 Total deferred tax assets $ 364,054 $ 307,405 Deferred tax liabilities Property and equipment, net $ — $ (7,780) Other (3,210) (759) Total deferred tax liabilities $ (3,210) $ (8,539) Less: Valuation allowance (360,717) (298,866) Net deferred tax assets $ 127 $ — We have incurred net operating losses in most jurisdictions from inception; we did not record an income tax benefit for our incurred losses for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, due to uncertainty regarding utilization of our net operating carryforwards and due to our history of losses. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets, including federal and state NOLs, and the majority of our foreign deferred tax assets. The Company analyzed all sources of available income and determined there is not sufficient evidence to support the realizability of its deferred tax assets with the exception of a few jurisdictions. The Company does not believe it is more likely than not to realize the benefits of the deferred assets. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a valuation allowance of $284.4 million against its U.S. deferred tax assets and a valuation allowance of $76.3 million against its foreign deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to assess the realizability of its deferred tax assets in future reporting periods and reduce the valuation allowance at such time as management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.9 million, which expire if unused in 2037, and approximately $905.7 million with an indefinite carryforward period. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $580.1 million, which begin to expire in 2037. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $257.2 million in various jurisdictions with various expirations. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has U.S. federal research tax credit carryforwards of approximately $6.3 million, which begin to expire if unused in 2037. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has California research tax credit carryforwards of approximately $7.1 million, which do not expire. Utilization of the net operating loss and research and development carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation due to ownership change limitations provided by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, the “Code”), as well as similar state and foreign provisions. In general, an “ownership change,” as defined by Section 382 of the Code, results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders or public groups. Any limitation may result in expiration of all or a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. Since the Company’s initial public offering, ownership changes have occurred that have triggered annual limitation. The Company and its subsidiaries file tax returns in the United States (federal and state) and various foreign jurisdictions. All tax periods for all jurisdictions since the Company’s inception in 2017 through 2021 are currently subject to income tax examination. The following table reflects changes in gross unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands): December 31, 2022 2021 Unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year $ 12,458 $ 13,993 Gross increases—current year positions — 4,842 Gross increases—prior year positions 25 — Gross decreases—prior year positions — (6,377) Unrecognized tax benefits at end of year $ 12,483 $ 12,458 As of December 31, 2022, none of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate for positions that would not be offset with the valuation allowance. The Company does not expect any material changes to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expect future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In estimating future tax consequences, generally all expected future tax events other than enactments or changes in the tax law rates are considered. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense if incurred. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no accrued interest or penalties recorded in the financial statements. In the event that the Company does recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, these amounts would be recorded within interest expense, net and other expenses, net, respectively, within the consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included on the related liability lines within the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022, the open tax years for the Company’s major tax jurisdictions are as follows: Jurisdiction Tax Years U.S. Federal 2017-2021 U.S. State 2017-2021 Netherlands 2018-2021 In response to the Coronavirus pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions related to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss utilization and carryback periods, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. Under the CARES Act, the Company deferred $1.8 million in payroll taxes for the period ended December 31, 2020. During 2021, the Company repaid $0.9 million of the total amount deferred and the remaining balance was repaid during 2022. The Company continues to examine the elements of the CARES Act and the impact it may have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Notes Payable	Notes Payable Apollo Vehicle Financing Facility In April 2021, the Company’s wholly owned consolidated special purpose vehicle entity (the “SPV”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Apollo Credit Agreement”) with Apollo Investment Corporation, as a lender, and MidCap Financial Trust, as a lender and administrative agent, to allow the SPV to borrow up to $40.0 million (the “Vehicle Financing Facility”) with no right to re-borrow any portion of the Vehicle Financing Facility that is repaid or prepaid. The Vehicle Financing Facility includes a repayment mechanism tied directly to revenue generation by vehicles on lease by the SPV to Bird Rides under an intercompany leasing arrangement (the “Scooter Lease”). In October 2021, the SPV entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Apollo Credit Agreement which, among other things, increased the commitments provided by the lenders from $40.0 million to $150.0 million, with any extension of credit above $40.0 million subject to the consummation of the Business Combination. In November 2021, the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement were consummated, resulting in access to extensions of credit up to $150.0 million under the Vehicle Financing Facility. In April 2022, the SPV entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Apollo Credit Agreement which, among other things, permits borrowings in respect of scooters located in the United Kingdom, European Union, and Israel up to a sub-limit of $50.0 million (the “EMEA Loans”), in addition to borrowings in respect of scooters located in the United States (the “U.S. Loans”). As amended, the Apollo Credit Agreement continues to allow the SPV to borrow up to the remaining availability under the maximum commitment of $150.0 million, both through U.S. Loans as well as the EMEA Loans, the proceeds of which may be used for general corporate purposes. In November 2022, the Company drew the full amount available under the Vehicle Financing Facility. The Company drew down $92.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. The outstanding principal balance under the Vehicle Financing Facility as of December 31, 2022 was $44.1 million. The Vehicle Financing Facility is secured by a first priority perfected security interest in vehicles contributed by Bird Rides to the SPV, collections from revenue generated by vehicles subject to the facility, and an account related to such collections and a reserve account (collectively, “Collateral”). In July 2022, the SPV entered into Amendment No. 5 to the Apollo Credit Agreement which, among other things, transitioned the interest rate calculation from the London Inter-bank Offered Rate to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The outstanding Vehicle Financing Facility balances bear interest at the SOFR, which is calculated as a per annum rate of interest equal to the greater of (a) 1.00% and (b) the sum of (x) SOFR plus (y) 0.1% (10 basis points), plus a margin of 7.5% that is accrued and paid by the Company on a monthly basis. The maturity date of the Vehicle Financing Facility is November 30, 2024 (“Final Maturity Date”). On the fourth business day of each month prior to the Final Maturity Date, the Company is required to repay principal outstanding under the Vehicle Financing Facility based on a preset monthly amortization schedule (such amount, the “Amortization Amount”). In addition, on the fourth business day of each of January, April, July, and October, the Company is required to repay an additional amount of principal outstanding under the Vehicle Financing Facility to the extent 50% of revenues generated from the underlying Collateral is greater than the sum of the Amortization Amounts due for the preceding quarter. All outstanding Vehicle Financing Facility balances will be due and payable as previously stated, unless the commitments are terminated earlier, or if an event of default occurs (or automatically in the case of certain bankruptcy-related events of default). The Apollo Credit Agreement includes certain customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative financial and non-financial covenants, events of default, and indemnification provisions. The primary negative covenant is a limitation on liens against vehicles included in the underlying Collateral, which restricts the Company from selling, assigning, or disposing of any Collateral contributed in connection with the Apollo Credit Agreement. The primary affirmative covenant is a requirement to provide monthly reports within 30 days after the end of each fiscal month and audited annual financial statements within a specified time. The Scooter Lease includes two financial covenants, namely, a minimum liquidity requirement and a minimum tangible net worth requirement, in each case calculated as of the last business day of each calendar month. The Company is currently in compliance with all the terms and covenants of the Apollo Credit Agreement and the Scooter Lease. On October 7, 2022, the SPV entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Apollo Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 6”), which, among other things, (a) waived the requirement for the SPV to maintain a reserve account in favor of the administrative agent concurrently with a $15.0 million prepayment of outstanding loans made using the cash balance in the reserve account, (b) amended the calculation of the monthly amortization amount from a percentage of outstanding loans to a seasonally-adjusted flat dollar amount per month, (c) waived the quarterly revenue-based amortization payments due in October 2022 and January 2023 and provided a mechanism to reduce or waive the quarterly revenue-based amortization payment due in April 2023, (d) limited the number of scooters included in the calculation of each quarterly revenue-based amortization payment to those scooters necessary to meet the then applicable loan-to-cost financial covenant, and (e) provided for the post-closing waiver of the requirement to maintain a $25.0 million cash-collateralized letter of credit in favor of the administrative agent in connection with a $25.0 million prepayment of outstanding loans made using the cash that previously secured the letter of credit. Pursuant to Amendment No. 6, the amount available under the Vehicle Financing Facility was reduced to $5.0 million. In addition, on October 7, 2022, the SPV entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Scooter Lease which, among other things, amended the minimum liquidity and minimum tangible net worth financial covenants. In connection with Amendment No. 6, (a) Bird Rides International amended the EMEA Guaranty and Pledge Agreement, dated as of May 18, 2022, to, among other things, amend the guaranty provided pursuant to the Existing EMEA Guaranty to guarantee all outstanding loans under the Apollo Credit Agreement, and (b) Bird Rides entered into the Parent Guaranty, pursuant to which, among other things, Bird Rides provides an unsecured guaranty in respect of all outstanding loans under the Apollo Credit Agreement. On December 19, 2022, the SPV entered into Amendment No. 7 to the Apollo Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 7”), which, among other things, provided for a new loan from Bird Canada in an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 million. In connection with Amendment No. 7, the Company entered into a Pledge and Collateral Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2022, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company pledged substantially all of its assets to secure its existing guaranty of all outstanding loans. On December 30,2022, the SPV entered into Amendment No. 8 to the Apollo Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 8”), which, among other things, (a) removed provisions relating to the subordinated loans made by Bird Canada thereunder, (b) extended the maturity of the Apollo Credit Agreement to January 13, 2025, (c) amended the monthly amortization payment amounts, (d) removed provisions relating to the quarterly revenue-based amortization payments and (e) released the liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company that secured its existing guaranty of all outstanding loans under the Apollo Credit Agreement. On December 30, 2022, the SPV entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Scooter Lease, which, among other things, (a) eliminated the supplemental portion of lease payments tied to revenue generation by vehicles on lease by SPV to the Company and (b) amended certain restrictive covenants. In connection with Amendment No. 8, Bird Rides International amended the EMEA Guaranty and Pledge Agreement, dated as of December 30, 2022, to, among other things, provide that the secured guaranty provided pursuant to the Existing EMEA Guaranty shall be released upon the satisfaction of certain prepayment and liquidity-based conditions. Issuance costs related to the Apollo Credit Agreement of $5.0 million were capitalized as a deferred asset and are amortized over the term of the Apollo Credit Agreement. Deferred financing costs related to Amendment No. 7 and Amendment No. 8 to the Apollo Credit Agreement of $1.0 million were capitalized as a deferred asset and are amortized over the remaining term of the Apollo Credit Agreement. In accordance with the terms outlined in the agreements, the Company made contractual principal payments totaling $96.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. Interest Expense Interest expense was $8.3 million, $2.2 million, and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Deutsche Bank AG Term Loans and Warrants In October 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the credit agreement with Deutsche Bank AG ("DB"), whereby it issued additional warrants (the “2021 DB Warrants”) for shares of the Company’s Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock. The fair value of the 2021 DB Warrants at inception was $0.6 million and was classified in other liabilities. DB notified the Company of its intention to sell the 2021 DB Warrants back to the Company, and the Company settled the 2020 DB Warrants for $0.6 million in June 2021. In April 2021, the Company repaid the outstanding principal balance under the Term Loans of $31.2 million, including accrued and unpaid interest. The Company recognized a loss of $2.3 million upon extinguishment due to the write-off of the debt discount. Interest expense on the Term Loans for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $2.2 million. Bird Canada Transaction Convertible Senior Secured Notes In December 2022, Bird Global issued and sold an aggregate principal amount of $30.1 million of its 12.0% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due December 30, 2027 (together with the Share Consideration Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes were issued and sold in a private placement to certain “accredited investors” conducted pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The terms of the Notes are governed by a note purchase agreement, dated as of December 30, 2022 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, as issuer, the several purchasers from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Note Purchasers”) and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”). The Note holders are entitled to convert the Notes into shares of Class A Common Stock at any time at a conversion rate of approximately 3,473 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $0.2879 per share, subject to specified anti-dilution adjustments, including adjustments for issuance of Class A Common Stock below the conversion price. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such corporate event up to a maximum of approximately 711 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. In certain circumstances, conversion will be limited unless the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue such shares.

Common Stock	Common Stock Common Stock As of December 31, 2022, the Company has authority to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, 10,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of Class X Common Stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 262,695,741 and 34,534,930 shares of Class A Common Stock and Class X Common Stock, respectively, issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2022, there were no shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding. Shares of restricted stock, including restricted stock issued upon an early exercise of an option, that have not vested, are excluded from the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding because the grantee is not entitled to the rewards of share ownership until such vesting occurs. Holders of outstanding common stock are entitled to dividends when and if declared by our board of directors, subject to the rights of the holders of all classes of preferred stock outstanding having priority rights. No dividends have been declared by the Company’s board of directors from inception through December 31, 2022. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Bird Global or applicable law, each holder of Class X Common Stock has the right to 20 votes per share of Class X Common Stock outstanding and held of record by such holder, and each holder of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock has the right to one vote per share of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock outstanding and held of record by such holder. Standby Equity Purchase Agreement In May 2022, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement , the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville up to $100.0 million of its shares of Class A Common Stock at any time during the 36 months following the execution of the Purchase Agreement, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement . Each sale that the Company requests under the Purchase Agreement (an “Advance”) may be for a number of shares of Class A Common Stock with an aggregate value of up to $20.0 million, subject to certain volume limitations and other conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. In no event is Yorkville obligated to purchase any shares that would result in it owning more than 4.99% of the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Moreover, u nder the applicable NYSE rules, in no event will the Company issue to Yorkville shares that, in the aggregate, would exceed 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of the date of the Purchase Agreement (the “Exchange Cap”) unless the Company has received stockholder approval for such issuance or such issuance is otherwise permitted by applicable NYSE rules. Yorkville’s obligation to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including that a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) be filed with the SEC, registering the resale of the Commitment Fee Shares (as defined below) and the shares to be issued pursuant to any Advance under the Securities Act of 1933, and that the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC. In May 2022, the Registration Statement was filed with and declared effective by the SEC. As consideration for Yorkville’s commitment to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at the Company’s direction upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company committed to issue to Yorkville 217,203 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Commitment Fee Shares”) in three equal installments within six months of execution of the Purchase Agreement. In May 2022, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company requested and received a pre-advance loan (“Pre-Advance Loan”) from Yorkville of $21.0 million. The Pre-Advance Loan is evidenced by a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”), which accrues interest at a rate of 0%, but was issued with 4.76% original issue discount, and will be repaid in equal monthly installments beginning on the third month following the date of the Pre-Advance Loan. The Promissory Note may be repaid with the proceeds of an Advance or repaid in cash and, if repaid in cash, together with a 2% premium. On December 19, 2022, the Company entered into an extension agreement with Yorkville (the “Extension Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to extend the maturity date of the Promissory Note to February 15, 2023. Pursuant to the Extension Agreement, Yorkville received 2,484,720 shares of its Class A Common Stock. The outstanding principal balance under the Promissory Note as of December 31, 2022 was $4.2 million. On February 15, 2023, the remaining outstanding balance under the Promissory Note was repaid. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold 6,730,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock for proceeds of $3.2 million under the terms of the Purchase Agreement. All proceeds were used to repay the Promissory Note under the terms set forth in the Purchase Agreement. As consideration for Yorkville’s commitment to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at the Company’s direction under the Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued the Commitment Fee Shares during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation Expense	Stock-Based Compensation Expense 2017 Plan Under the Bird Rides, Inc. 2017 Stock Plan, adopted on May 10, 2017, Bird Rides granted options to purchase its common stock, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), and RSUs to certain employees, directors and consultants. On November 4, 2021, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and the adoption of the Bird Global, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), the Bird Rides, Inc. 2017 Stock Plan was amended and restated (as amended and restated, the “2017 Plan”), and terminated, such that only awards under the 2017 Plan that remained outstanding as of November 4, 2021 (the date on which the Business Combination was consummated) continue to be subject to the terms of the 2017 Plan, but the Company cannot continue granting awards thereunder. The awards granted under the 2017 Plan are considered equity-classified awards. Stock options and RSUs granted under the 2017 Plan are generally service-based awards, typically vesting over a total of four years pursuant to two different vesting schedules. Under one vesting schedule, the first vest is generally a one-year cliff vest, followed by monthly or quarterly vesting for the final three years. Under the second vesting schedule, the award vests on a monthly or quarterly basis over the four-year vest term. In addition, Bird Rides also issued RSAs to certain members of its board of directors. The 2017 Plan allows for the early exercise of stock options if approved by our board of directors. Shares purchased pursuant to the early exercise of stock options are subject to repurchase until those shares vest. . Shares of restricted stock issued upon an early exercise of an option are not considered outstanding because the grantee is not entitled to the rewards of share ownership. Those shares are not shown as outstanding on the balance sheet and are excluded from earnings (loss) loss per share until the shares are no longer subject to a repurchase feature. All awards granted under the 2017 Plan were retroactively restated to reflect the application of the Business Combination. 2021 Plan The 2021 Plan, adopted on November 4, 2021, provides for the grant of stock options, RSUs, RSAs, and stock appreciation rights to employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and non-employee directors of the Company. A total of 59.5 million shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock were initially reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan. In addition, the shares reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan will include any awards granted under the 2017 Plan that, after November 4, 2021, expire, are forfeited or otherwise terminated without having been fully exercised, provided that the maximum number of shares that may be added to the 2021 Plan from the 2017 Plan is 17.8 million. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan is increased on January 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2022, in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) 5% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class X Common Stock outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year, and (ii) such smaller number of shares as determined by our board of directors. On January 1, 2022, an additional 13.7 million shares of Class A Common Stock became available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. Only RSUs and RSAs have been granted under the 2021 Plan. With the exception of the Management Award RSUs (as defined below), awards granted under the 2021 Plan are generally service-based awards, typically vesting over a total of four years pursuant to two different vesting schedules. Under one vesting schedule, the first vest is generally a one-year cliff vest, followed by quarterly vesting for the final three years. Under the second vesting schedule, the award vests on a quarterly basis over the four-year vest term. From April 2022, awards granted under the 2021 Plan generally vest on a quarterly basis over a one-year vest term. In November 2021, the Company’s board of directors granted RSUs to certain employees (“Management Award RSUs”) under the 2021 Plan. The Management Award RSUs vest upon the satisfaction of a service-based vesting condition and the achievement of certain stock price goals, namely, $12.50, $20.00, and $30.00. The Management Award RSUs are excluded from Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding until the satisfaction of these vesting conditions. The Company will recognize stock-based compensation expense over the derived service period, using the accelerated attribution method. For any Management Awards RSUs that are forfeited, the Company will reverse the accelerated stock-based compensation expense for any tranches that have not vested in the period the awards are forfeited. Unvested shares of restricted stock are not considered outstanding because the grantee is not entitled to the rewards of share ownership prior to vesting. Unvested shares are not shown as outstanding on the balance sheet and are excluded from basic net loss per share until the shares are vested.

Net Loss Per Share

Net Loss Per Share	12 Months Ended

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Loss Per Share	Net Loss Per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including stock options, RSUs, warrants to purchase redeemable convertible preferred stock and Class A Common Stock, redeemable convertible preferred stock, founders convertible preferred stock and contingently issuable shares, except in cases where the effect of the common stock equivalent would be anti-dilutive. Potential common stock equivalents consist of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and vesting of RSUs using the treasury stock method. Since the Company was in a loss position for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, basic net loss per share was the same as diluted net loss per share for the periods presented. The Company computes net loss per share using the two-class method. The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the Class A Common Stock and Class X Common Stock are identical, other than voting rights. Accordingly, the Class A Common Stock and Class X Common Stock share equally in the Company’s net losses. Because the computed loss per share for holders of the Class A Common Stock and the Class X Common Stock is identical, we do not present separate net loss per share computations. Loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were retroactively restated to reflect the application of the Business Combination. Net loss for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were adjusted to reflect the accrual of paid-in kind dividends earned by certain holders of senior preferred stock. The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 (in thousands, except per share amounts): December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Numerator: Net loss $ (358,741) $ (214,924) $ (208,733) Adjustment to net loss attributable to common stockholders — (15,540) — Net loss attributable to common stockholders $ (358,741) $ (230,464) $ (208,733) Denominator: Weighted-average shares outstanding, basic and diluted 277,997 84,261 37,367 Loss per share: Loss per share, basic and diluted $ (1.29) $ (2.74) $ (5.59) The following outstanding securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented (in thousands): December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Redeemable convertible preferred shares — — 135,225 Founders convertible preferred stock — — 3,993 Unvested shares of common stock — — 4,032 Stock options 8,449 12,730 19,446 Time-based vesting RSUs 25,515 24,166 — Market-based vesting RSUs 10,700 29,073 — Warrants to purchase redeemable convertible preferred stock — — 94 Warrants to purchase Class A common stock 12,935 12,935 — Contingently issuable shares 1,977 1,977 — Total 59,576 80,881 162,790 While the portion of the Earnout Shares designated to holders of common stock of Bird Rides immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented, such Earnout Shares are not outstanding securities and have been excluded from the table above.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Operating Leases As of December 31, 2022, the Company had operating lease agreements for its facilities in various locations throughout the United States, as well as around the world. See Note 8 — Leases for further discussion. Purchase Commitments The Company has purchase commitments related to vehicles, software, hosting services, and other items in the ordinary course of business with varying expirations through 2026. These amounts are determined based on the non-cancelable quantities or termination amounts to which the Company is contractually obligated. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has no material commitments to purchase inventory and vehicles. The Company incurred $1.2 million and $5.6 million of software and hosting services during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has commitments to purchase software and hosting services as follows (in millions): Year Ended December 31, Amount 2023 $ 14,002 2024 12,252 2025 12,718 2026 — Total $ 38,972 Notes Payable The Company has commitments related to the Vehicle Financing Facility. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has future minimum payments of $18.0 million due in the next 12 months and $26.1 million due thereafter. See Note 11 — Notes Payable for further discussion. Standby Equity Purchase Agreement The Company has commitments related to the Promissory Note. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has future minimum payments of $4.2 million due in the next 12 months. See Note 12 — Common Stock for further discussion. Litigation and Indemnification The Company is from time to time involved in legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory matters, indirect tax examinations or government inquiries and investigations that may arise in the ordinary course of business. Certain of these matters include speculative claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts of damages. The Company records a liability when the Company believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company discloses the possible loss in the consolidated financial statements. The Company reviews the developments in contingencies that could affect the amount of the provisions that have been previously recorded. The Company adjusts provisions and changes to disclosures accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability and the estimated amount of loss. The Company is not a party to any outstanding material litigation and management is not currently aware of any legal proceedings that, individually or in the aggregate, are deemed to be material to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations other than certain consolidated proceedings alleging that individuals who previously provided services as mechanics and chargers were misclassified as independent contractors in violation of the California Labor Code and wage laws. We are also subject to, and defending, proceedings alleging that individuals who previously provided services as Fleet Managers were misclassified as independent contractors in violation of the California Labor Code and wage laws. We intend to vigorously defend these claims. In addition, on November 17, 2022, shortly after we announced we would be restating our (i) audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and for the years then ended, and quarterly periods within those years, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2022; (ii) condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022, and for the three months then ended, included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022; and (iii) condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022, and for the three and six months then ended, included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 15, 2022, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action lawsuit in the Central District of California against us and a director and prior officer, entitled MARIO ARIAS, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Bird Global, Inc. F/K/A Switchback II Corporation, Travis VanderZanden, and Yibo Ling (the “ARIAS Action”). On December 19, 2022, another purported stockholder of the Company filed a similar putative class action lawsuit in the Central District of California against us and a director and prior officer, entitled KAREN CAIN, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Bird Global, Inc. F/K/A Switchback II Corporation, Travis VanderZanden, and Yibo Ling (the “CAIN Action”). The ARIAS and CAIN Actions, are substantially similar, and the complaints in both actions allege that all defendants violated Sections 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the SEC, and that the individual defendants violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The lawsuits seek, among other things, damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and such other relief as may be deemed just and proper by the court. Although we believe we have meritorious defenses to the claims of the plaintiffs and members of the classes, and intend to vigorously defend against these claims, there is no guarantee that we will prevail. We are currently unable to determine the ultimate outcome of these actions or to determine the amount or range of potential losses associated with the actions. We have received a document request from the SEC in connection with an investigation wherein the SEC requested, among other things, materials concerning the restatement of our financial statements (as described above) , as well as certain other financial and operational data, investor materials, and corporate policies and procedures. We are fully cooperating with the investigation and are not currently able to predict the outcome of the investigation or the timing of its conclusion. Accordingly, we are not able to estimate the loss or range of loss. Further, the outcome of legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory matters, indirect tax examinations and governmental inquiries and investigations are inherently uncertain. Therefore, if one or more of these matters were resolved against the Company for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, including in a reporting period in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable, could be materially adversely affected.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information The Company determines its operating segments based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset information and, accordingly, the Company does not report asset information by segment. The Company does not aggregate its operating segments into reportable segments. Accordingly, the Company has identified three reportable segments, which are organized based on the geographic areas in which it conducts business, as follows: Segment Description North America Includes Canada and the United States Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Includes all countries within the European Union, the United Kingdom, and countries within the Middle East Other Includes South America, China, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan The Company’s segment operating performance measure is gross margin. Gross margin is defined as revenue less cost of revenues. The following table provides information about the Company’s segments and a reconciliation of the total segment gross margin to loss before income taxes (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 North America EMEA Other Total North America EMEA Other Total Revenues: Sharing $ 171,839 59,172 323 231,334 $ 128,431 44,150 148 172,729 Product sales 12,255 1,071 — 13,326 16,104 1,711 — 17,815 Total revenues 184,094 60,243 323 244,660 144,535 45,861 148 190,544 Cost of revenues: Cost of sharing, exclusive of depreciation 69,357 37,043 147 106,547 80,442 22,720 42 103,204 Depreciation on sharing vehicles 40,058 19,367 60 59,485 21,831 25,483 21 47,335 Cost of product sales 11,471 683 — 12,154 16,189 1,148 3 17,340 Impairment of product sales inventory 31,769 — — 31,769 — — — — Total cost of revenues 152,655 57,093 207 209,955 118,462 49,351 66 167,879 Gross margin: Sharing 62,424 2,762 116 65,302 26,158 (4,053) 85 22,190 Product sales (30,985) 388 — (30,597) (85) 563 (3) 475 Total gross margin $ 31,439 3,150 116 34,705 $ 26,073 (3,490) 82 22,665 Reconciling items: Total expenses $ 391,436 $ 237,380 Loss before income taxes $ (356,731) $ (214,715)

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events Effective as of January 3, 2023, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the "Share Purchase Agreement") with Bird Canada, Inc. (“Bird Canada”) and certain other parties thereto, which, among other things, resulted in the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Bird Canada in exchange for the issuance by Bird Global of an aggregate principal amount of approximately $27.0 million of its 12.0% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “Share Consideration Notes”), 18,204,365 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, and a nominal amount of cash consideration. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for details of the Bird Canada transaction. The purpose of the acquisition was to add additional profitable operations to Bird’s global platform, while consolidating our North American operations. In addition, on March 10, 2023, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) took control of Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) and created the National Bank of Santa Clara to hold the deposits of SVB after SVB was unable to continue its operations. On March 12, 2023, the FDIC, U.S. Department of the Treasury, and Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System issued a joint press release stating that all depositors would have access to all of their money beginning on March 13, 2023. As of March 16, 2023, we have access to our cash on deposit with SVB. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Annual Report and determined that, other than the events discussed above, there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustment to, or disclosure in, our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bird Global and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the accounting disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC regarding financial reporting.
Principles of Consolidation	All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates estimates that are subject to significant judgment, including, but are not limited to, those related to breakage revenue, useful lives associated with vehicles, valuation of goodwill, Product Sales inventory and inventory deposits, and other long-lived assets, assumptions utilized in the valuation of derivative liabilities and certain equity awards, loss contingencies, valuation allowance for deferred income taxes, and the collectability of accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase. Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market securities and all cash and money market investments are deposited with institutions management believes are of high credit quality. Cash equivalents are stated at fair value.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents	Restricted Cash and Cash EquivalentsRestricted cash and cash equivalents are pledged as security for letters of credit or other collateral established by the Company for certain insurance policies and various other contractual arrangements.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts ReceivableAccounts receivable represent uncollected balances due from retail customers and partners to which we sell the white labeled version of our products and technology (“Bird Platform”). Amounts are recorded at the invoice value, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventory, net	Inventory, netInventory consists of vehicles and spare parts available for sale, valued at the lower of cost based on an average cost method or net realizable value. This valuation requires the Company to make judgments, based on currently available information. The average cost of inventory consists of the price paid for the aforementioned vehicles and spare parts plus freight from manufacturers and any customs or duties incurred.
Contract Terminations	Contract Terminations Our capital expenditure cycle often requires us to pay deposits to secure orders for the Product Sales business. The Company records deposits based on the amount of cash paid to secure future production, and evaluates the assets for impairment, as needed.
Vehicle Deposits	Vehicle Deposits Vehicle deposits consist of prepayments on vehicles and spare parts to which the Company does not yet have title.
Vehicles, net	Vehicles, net Vehicles consist of vehicles that are used within the Company’s Sharing business. The capitalized cost of vehicles includes freight from manufacturers and any customs or duties incurred. The vehicles balance is comprised of those vehicles that are in transit from the contract manufacturer to Bird, held by Bird but not yet deployed in market, and those that are deployed in market and available for use in our Sharing business. We recognize depreciation related to the vehicles used in our Sharing business using a usage-based depreciation methodology based on the number of rides taken by customers. The estimated total number of lifetime rides of our vehicles are based on many factors, including historical ride information and any anticipated changes to future vehicle utilization. Spare parts are expensed as a cost of revenue when used by the Company for vehicle maintenance and repairs. The Company updates its estimated useful life assumption based on changes in activity of the vehicles and accelerates depreciation on vehicles that have been determined to be no longer active.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In estimating future tax consequences, generally all expected future events other than enactments or changes in the tax law or rates are considered. The Company accounts for uncertainty in tax positions recognized in the consolidated financial statements by recognizing a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not to be realized based on the weighting of positive and negative evidence. Future realization of deferred tax assets ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods available under the applicable tax law. The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. The Company’s judgment regarding future profitability may change due to many factors, including future market conditions and the ability to successfully execute its business plans and/or tax planning strategies. Should there be a change in the ability to recover deferred tax assets, the Company’s income tax provision would increase or decrease in the period in which the assessment is changed. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations.
Property and Equipment, net	Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from one year to five years as shown in the table below. Useful lives used to depreciate our property and equipment are assessed periodically and adjusted when warranted. Additions, replacements, and improvements that extend the asset’s useful life are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs that do not enhance or extend the asset’s useful life are charged to expense as incurred.
Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets for Impairment	Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets for ImpairmentThe Company evaluates its held-and-used long-lived assets for indicators of possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group (collectively, the “asset group”) may not be recoverable. The Company measures the recoverability of the asset group by comparing the carrying amount of such asset group to the future undiscounted cash flows it expects the asset group to generate. If the Company considers the asset group to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its fair value.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations and is allocated to reporting units expected to benefit from the business combinations. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level, in the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of net assets has decreased below its carrying value. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgement, including identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. The Company operates three reporting units, which are the same as its reporting segments described in Note 17 — Segment Information. When testing goodwill for impairment, in accordance with Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The qualitative factors include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, and the overall financial performance of the Company. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then additional impairment testing is not required. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, the Company proceeds to the quantitative assessment. The quantitative assessment compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no additional steps are necessary. However, if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Derivative Liabilities	Derivative Liabilities Earnout Shares In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company designated 30 million shares of Class A Common Stock (“Earnout Shares”) to be issued to all Eligible Equity Holders (as defined below), subject to occurrence during the Earnout Period (as defined below) of the Earnout Triggering Events (as defined below). An “Eligible Equity Holder” means a holder of a share of common stock, including a share of restricted stock, a stock option or an RSU of Bird Rides, in each case, immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The “Earnout Period” means the five-year period ending on November 4, 2026. The three separate “Earnout Triggering Events” are as follows: • “Earnout Triggering Event I” is the date on which the daily volume-weighted average sale price of one share of Class A Common Stock quoted on the NYSE is greater than or equal to $12.50 for any ten trading days within any 20 consecutive trading day period within the Earnout Period; • “Earnout Triggering Event II” is the date on which the daily volume-weighted average sale price of one share of Class A Common Stock quoted on the NYSE is greater than or equal to $20.00 for any ten trading days within any 20 consecutive trading day period within the Earnout Period; and • “Earnout Triggering Event III” is the date on which the daily volume-weighted average sale price of one share of Class A Common Stock quoted on the NYSE is greater than or equal to $30.00 for any ten trading days within any 20 consecutive trading day period within the Earnout Period. Of the 30.0 million Earnout Shares, 27,925,828 shares are designated for the holders of common stock of Bird Rides immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and are not subject to a continued service requirement. This portion of the Earnout Shares is classified as a liability due to failure to meet the equity classification criteria under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40. The Earnout Shares liability was measured at fair value at the effective time of the Acquisition Merger, and is remeasured at fair value through other income (expense) at each subsequent reporting period, most recently as of December 31, 2022. The Company calculated the grant-date fair value of the liability-classified Earnout Shares based on multiple stock price paths on a monthly basis over the Earnout Period, developed through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation model. A Monte Carlo simulation model requires the use of various assumptions, including the underlying stock price, volatility, and the risk-free interest rate as of the valuation date. Switchback Founder Earn Back Shares In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, NGP Switchback II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and certain officers and directors of Switchback entered into an amendment to the letter agreement, dated January 7, 2021, pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed, effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, to subject to potential forfeiture (on a pro rata basis) an aggregate of 1,976,563 shares of Class A Common Stock held by them (“Switchback Founder Earn Back Shares”), of which (i) 988,281 Switchback Founder Earn Back Shares will no longer be subject to potential forfeiture if the average reported last sale price of one share of our Class A Common Stock quoted on the NYSE is greater than or equal to $12.50 for any ten trading days within any 20 consecutive trading day period within the Earnout Period and (ii) 988,281 Switchback Founder Earn Back Shares will no longer be subject to potential forfeiture if the average reported last sale price of one share of our Class A Common Stock quoted on the NYSE is greater than or equal to $15.00 for any ten trading days within any 20 consecutive trading day period within the Earnout Period. The Switchback Founder Earn Back Shares are classified as a liability due to failure to meet the equity classification criteria under ASC 815-40. The Switchback Founder Earn Back Shares liability was measured at fair value at the effective time of the Acquisition Merger, and is remeasured at fair value through other income (expense) at each subsequent reporting period, most recently as of December 31, 2022. The Company calculated the grant-date fair value of the liability-classified Switchback Founder Earn Back Shares based on multiple stock price paths on a monthly basis over the Earnout Period, developed through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation model. A Monte Carlo simulation model requires the use of various assumptions, including the underlying stock price, volatility, and the risk-free interest rate as of the valuation date. C-1 Warrants and Private Placement Warrants Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination, there were outstanding 59,908 warrants to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $13.36 per share (the “C-1 Warrants”) and 6,550,000 private placement warrants from Switchback (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at the exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain redemption rights. The C-1 Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are classified as liabilities due to failure to meet the equity classification criteria under ASC 815-40. The C-1 Warrants and Private Placement Warrants liabilities were measured at fair value on the date of grant. Both financial instruments are remeasured at fair value through other income (expense) at each subsequent reporting period, most recently as of December 31, 2022. The Company calculated the grant-date fair value of the C-1 Warrants and Private Placement Warrants based on the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model considers several variables and assumptions in estimating the fair value of financial instruments, including the per-share fair value of the underlying common stock, exercise price, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected stock price volatility over the expected term, and expected annual dividend yield. The Company calculated the expected term as the contractual expiration period. The risk-free interest rate is estimated using the rate of return on U.S. treasury notes with a life that approximates the expected term. The Company’s Class A Common Stock does not have sufficient trading history and, therefore, the Company used the historical volatility of the stock prices of similar publicly traded peer companies. The Company utilized a dividend yield of zero, as it had no history or plan of declaring dividends on its common stock. Public Warrants Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination, the Company assumed 6,324,972 public warrants from Switchback (the “Public Warrants”). Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at the exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Public Warrants are classified as a liability due to failure to meet the equity classification criteria under ASC 815-40. The Public Warrants liability was measured at fair value at the effective time of the Acquisition Merger, and is remeasured at fair value through other income (expense) at each subsequent reporting period, most recently as of December 31, 2022. The Company calculated the grant-date fair value of the Public Warrants based on the publicly traded price of the Public Warrants at the effective time of the Acquisition Merger.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market or, if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date (referred to as the “exit price”). Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including consideration of non-performance risk. The Company discloses and recognizes the fair value of its assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy indicates the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. • Level 1: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are observable. • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. • Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable to the extent that observable inputs are not available for the asset or liability at the measurement date and include management’s judgment about assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. The Company’s assets and liabilities listed above are based on Level 1 inputs. The Company’s derivative liabilities, such as the Earnout Shares, Switchback Earn Back Shares, C-1 Warrants, Private Placement Warrants, and Public Warrants, are remeasured at fair value through other income (expense) at each reporting period. Such fair value measurements are predominantly based on Level 3 inputs, with the exception of the Public Warrants, which are based on Level 1 inputs. The Company’s Convertible Senior Secured Notes are accounted for under the fair value option election of ASC 825-10, which states bifurcation of an embedded derivative is not necessary. The Notes were initially measured at its estimated fair value as of December 30, 2022. The estimated fair value adjustment is recognized as a component of other comprehensive income with respect to the portion of the fair value adjustment attributed to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk, with the remaining amount of the fair value adjustment recognized as other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. Such fair value measurements are predominantly based on Level 3 inputs. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the carrying value approximated fair value. For all liabilities measured at fair value, an increase or decrease in any of the observable inputs in isolation, such as the share price quoted on the NYSE, could result in a material increase or decrease in our estimate of fair value. Other unobservable inputs are less sensitive to the valuation in the respective reporting periods, as a result of the primary weighting on the share price and other observable inputs. In the future, depending on the weight of evidence and valuation approaches used, these or other inputs may have a more significant impact on our estimate of fair value. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis The Company’s non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, right-of-use assets, and property and equipment are adjusted to fair value when an impairment charge is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit RiskFinancial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents, primarily consist of cash deposits and money market securities, and all cash and money market investments are deposited with institutions management believes are of high credit quality. The Company has not experienced any material losses related to these concentrations during the periods presented.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition For the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company recognized revenue from rides taken by individual users of the Bird mobile application (the “Bird App”) as part of Sharing, which the Company accounts for pursuant to ASC 842, Leases . Additionally, the Company recognized revenue from Product Sales, primarily comprised of vehicles sales, pursuant to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . Sales taxes, including value added taxes, are excluded from reported revenue. Sharing The Company’s technology platform enables users to participate in the Company’s Sharing program. To use a vehicle, the user contracts with the Company via acceptance of the Bird Rental Agreement and pays for the ride from a preloaded wallet balance, on a per-ride basis. The user must use the Bird App to access the shared vehicles and must end the ride on the Bird App to conclude the trip. The Company is responsible for providing access to the vehicles over the user’s desired period of use. The Company accounts for these revenues as operating lease revenue pursuant to ASC 842, Leases , and records revenue upon completion of each ride. The Company treats any credit, coupon, or rider incentive as a reduction to the revenue for the ride in the period to which it relates. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company completed a legal analysis to confirm that management had sufficiently mitigated the legal obligation to remit the value of the unredeemed preloaded wallet balances to the relevant jurisdiction as unclaimed or abandoned property in the United States. The Company recognizes the breakage amounts as revenue under the remote method, in which revenue is recognized when the likelihood of the customer exercising its remaining rights becomes remote. As a result of this change in estimate, the Company recognized $31.0 million of unredeemed preloaded wallet balances during the year ended December 31, 2022. Product Sales The Company sells vehicles directly to distributors, retailers, and consumers, generating Product Sales revenue. Revenue is generally recognized, net of taxes, upon fulfillment per the contractual delivery terms, as that is when title and control transfers to the customer and the performance obligation is considered fully satisfied. For sales direct to consumers, the Company has a 30-day return policy, during which a customer can return a vehicle for a full refund. There is no history of material returns across any of the Product Sales channels. The Company also guarantees Product Sales with a one-year limited warranty. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company disaggregates revenue into the Sharing and Product Sales categories disclosed on the consolidated statement of operations. Disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objectives to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Further disaggregation is presented in the segment footnote for revenues generated from North America, Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”), and Other. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue primarily consists of wallet payments made by customers. In connection with its Sharing business, Bird requires a wallet balance to be maintained in most countries to ensure cash collection for rides. An immaterial portion of deferred revenue also consists of deposits made by Product Sales customers for the purchase of vehicles and parts that have not yet been delivered. Practical Expedients and Exemptions The Company elected to use the practical expedient that allows it to expense the costs incurred to obtain a contract when the amortization period is one year or less.
Tariff Reimbursement	Tariff Reimbursement The U.S. government imposed Section 301 tariffs (the “Tariffs”) on certain goods imported from China into the United States, including Bird vehicles. Accordingly, the Company paid the required 25% Tariffs for the import of vehicles into the United States. The costs associated with the Tariffs were capitalized as part of the associated costs of the vehicles when the vehicles were purchased during fiscal years 2018 and 2019. The costs were then depreciated and included in the consolidated statement of operations consistent with our vehicle depreciation policy, with most of the expense being recognized in fiscal years 2018 and 2019. In the first quarter of 2020, after filing protests and posting summary corrections, a ruling from the U.S. Custom and Border Protection Agency determined our vehicles were exempted from the Tariffs both retroactively and into the future and we therefore recognized a $25.0 million benefit to the consolidated statements of operations in the first quarter of 2020. The Tariffs resumed effective January 1, 2021, and continued to remain in effect through the year ended December 31, 2021. On March 23, 2022, the product exclusion for our vehicles were reinstated thus excluding them from the Tariffs retroactively to October 12, 2021, and through the year ended December 31, 2022. The total reimbursement of $11.7 million was capitalized and is being amortized, primarily over an estimated useful life of 18 months. For the year ended December 31, 2022, $9.4 million was recognized as a benefit to the consolidated statements of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense	Stock-Based Compensation Expense The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards granted to employees and non-employees, including stock options and RSUs, based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Stock Options Stock options granted to employees contained only service-based vesting conditions, and generally vest over a total of four years pursuant to two different vesting schedules. Under one vesting schedule, one-fourth of the total award vests on the one-year anniversary of the vesting commencement date, followed by monthly vesting for the final three years. Under the second vesting schedule, the award vests on a monthly basis over the four-year term. The fair value of stock options that vest solely based on a service-based vesting condition is determined by the Black-Scholes-Merton Option pricing model on the date of the grant. This valuation model for stock-based compensation expense requires the Company to make assumptions and judgements about the variables used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, including the expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. As the Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior, the Company determines the expected term based on the average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. For stock options, expected term is calculated as the mid-point of the stock options’ vest term and contractual expiration period. The grant-date fair value is recognized as compensation expense, on a straight-line basis, over the period during which the employee or non-employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. RSUs Prior to November 2021, RSUs granted by the Company were eligible to vest upon the satisfaction of both a service-based vesting condition, generally four years pursuant to the two vesting schedules, and a liquidity event-related performance vesting condition. Under one vesting schedule, one-fourth of the total award vests on the one-year anniversary of the applicable vesting commencement date, followed by quarterly vesting for the final three years. Under the second vesting schedule, the award vests on a quarterly basis over the four-year term. The liquidity event-related performance vesting condition was deemed probable upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The fair value of these RSUs was estimated based on the fair value of the common stock of Bird Rides on the date of grant. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company recorded cumulative stock-based compensation expense, using the accelerated attribution method, as of the closing date for those RSUs for which the service-vesting condition had been satisfied. Stock-based compensation expense related to the those RSUs for which the service-vesting condition had not been satisfied will be recorded over the remaining requisite service period using the accelerated attribution method. In conjunction with the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company issued RSU awards to certain employees that vest upon the satisfaction of both service-based and market-based vesting conditions (the “Management Award RSUs”). The service-based vesting condition for the Management Award RSUs is satisfied over four years. The market-based vesting conditions are satisfied upon achievement of each of the Earnout Triggering Events. The fair value of the Management Award RSUs is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The associated stock-based compensation expense is recorded over the derived service period, using the accelerated attribution method. If the Earnout Triggering Events are achieved sooner than the derived service period, the Company will adjust the stock-based compensation expense to reflect the cumulative expense associated with the awards. Subject to continued service by these employees, stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, regardless of whether the Earnout Triggering Events are achieved. Since November 2021, with the exception of the Management Award RSUs, RSUs granted to employees are generally service-based awards, typically vesting over a total of four years pursuant to the two different vesting schedules previously described. From April 2022, awards granted under the 2021 Plan generally vest on a quarterly basis over a one-year vest term. The fair value of RSUs is determined using the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the grant date. The associated stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Common Stock Prior to November 2021, the fair value of the common stock underlying the stock option awards and RSUs was determined by our board of directors. Given the absence of a public trading market, our board of directors considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our common stock at each meeting at which awards were approved. These factors included, but were not limited to; • the results of contemporaneous unrelated third-party valuations of the Company’s common stock; • the prices of the recent redeemable convertible preferred stock sales by the Company to investors; • the rights, preferences, and privileges of preferred stock relative to those of common stock; • market multiples of comparable public companies in the industry as indicated by their market capitalization and guideline merger and acquisition transactions; • the Company’s performance and market position relative to competitors, which is subject to change from time to time; • the Company’s historical financial results and estimated trends and prospects for the Company’s future performance; • the economic and competitive environment; • the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and capital resources; • the industry outlook; • the valuation of comparable companies; and • the likelihood and timeline of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or sale of the Company, given prevailing market conditions. Forfeiture The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. In the case of awards being forfeited because of a failure to satisfy a service-based vesting condition, previously recognized stock-based compensation expense is reversed in the period of the forfeiture.
Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions	Foreign Currency Translations and TransactionsThe reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our foreign operations generally is the applicable local currency for each foreign subsidiary. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Translation gains or losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit). Realized and unrealized gains or losses on remeasurement of foreign currency transactions are included as a component of other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders	Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders Basic net loss per share is based on the weighted-average effect of all shares of common stock issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock used in the basic loss per share calculation plus the number of shares of common stock that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive instruments. We exclude equity instruments from the calculation of diluted loss per share if the effect of including such instruments is anti-dilutive. Since we are in a net loss position for all periods presented, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share for all periods as the inclusion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, and Class X Common Stock are substantially identical. Accordingly, the Class A Common Stock and Class X Common Stock shared proportionately in the Company’s net losses. No shares of Class B Common Stock were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2022. Shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock and founders convertible preferred stock are considered participating securities. As they do not participate in losses of the Company, the two-class method would yield the same results as the basic net loss per share calculation. As of December 31, 2022, there were no shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock, redeemable convertible prime preferred stock, redeemable convertible senior preferred stock or founders convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13—Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU requires an entity to use a current expected credit loss methodology to measure impairments of certain financial assets and to recognize an allowance for its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses. The main objective of this update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842), which introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet and aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in the new revenue recognition standard. The FASB also subsequently issued guidance amending and clarifying various aspects of the new leases guidance. The new leasing standard represents a wholesale change to lease accounting for lessees and requires additional disclosures regarding leasing arrangements. The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective transition method and used the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, financial information is not updated and the disclosures required under ASC 842 are not provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2022. The Company elected the package of practical expedients available in the leasing transition guidance, and therefore did not reassess whether existing or expired contracts contain leases, lease classification, or initial direct costs. Additionally, the Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of the Company’s leases. The Company also has elected the short-term lease exception for all classes of assets, and therefore does not apply the recognition requirements for leases of 12 months or less. Variable lease payments were not material for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company did not utilize the practical expedient allowing the use of hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of its operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company’s classes of assets that are leased include real estate leases, which are classified as operating leases and included in other assets, other current liabilities, and other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases were not material for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company’s real estate leases are for an initial period between one When the discount rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Company uses the applicable incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement in order to discount lease payments to present value for purposes of performing lease classification tests and measuring the lease liability. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. As such, the Company's rate is based on a credit-adjusted risk-free rate at commencement date, which best approximates a secured rate over a similar term of lease. The Company does not believe there are any other recently issued and effective or not yet effective pronouncements that would have or are expected to have any significant effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
