Services Segment Optimization
Late in the third quarter of 2023, the Company initiated a Services segment optimization to improve future profitability which is expected to generate approximately $6.0 million of net cost savings over the next 12 months, all of which, the Company expects to reinvest in its future growth, focusing primarily on areas the Company continues to experience a favorable return on investment, including its mobile community clinics and sales and marketing initiatives for PetIQ's manufactured brands. The optimization included assessing the operational and financial performance of the Company's wellness centers since re-opening after the pandemic as well as the assessment of the veterinary labor market in each geographic market. The Company also evaluated its ability to potentially convert these locations to a more hygiene-focused offering and determined they would be unable to convert these locations in the future based on the aforementioned assessment and the available square footage within the respective wellness centers. As a result of the optimization, the Company identified 149 underperforming wellness centers for closure. The Company closed 45 wellness centers during the third quarter and expects to close the remaining 104 wellness centers in the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2023. The Company ended the third quarter of 2023 with 237 wellness centers and expects to end 2023 with 133 wellness centers.

Christensen continued, “We believe our Services optimization will be executed swiftly in the fourth quarter of 2023 and result in a significantly stronger, more profitable segment that is better positioned for future growth. Over the last 18 months we’ve evolved our services offering based on changes in the pet health care and veterinarian labor market, achieved greater operational efficiencies, and aligned investments in areas of our business where we are seeing the highest rate of returns. Our mobile community clinics fueled solid growth driven by our ability to operate more clinics than the prior year period as our team successfully matched contract veterinarian labor with pet demand. In addition, we are pleased with the initial results from the wellness centers that are testing hygiene, grooming and additional services. Going forward, we will remain prudent with our wellness center growth and remain optimistic about our ability to increase the number of pets served and dollars per pet.”

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Net sales were $277.0 million for the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 32.1% compared to net sales of $209.7 million in the prior year period, driven by an increase in sales from both the Products and Services segments. Products segment net sales of $239.7 million increased 36.0% compared to the prior year period reflecting broad-based growth across product categories and sales channels as well as from the previously announced acquisition of Rocco & Roxie LLC ("Rocco & Roxie") completed in January 2023. The Company experienced continued strength across flea and tick, prescription medication, and health and wellness product offerings with favorable consumption trends. Net sales for PetIQ’s manufactured products outperformed the Company's growth expectations for the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the prior year period with an increase of 41.7% including the acquisition of Rocco & Roxie, or an increase of 27.0%, on an organic basis. Services revenue for the third quarter of 2023 increased 11.5% to $37.4 million driven by operational improvements.

Third quarter 2023 gross profit was $72.6 million, an increase of 43.0%, compared to $50.8 million in the prior year period. Gross margin increased 200 basis points to 26.2% from 24.2% in the prior year period as the Company benefited from operating leverage on higher net sales and increased manufacturing efficiencies as well as a favorable shift in product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $55.0 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $46.0 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A was 19.9% for the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of 210 basis points compared to the prior year period. Adjusted SG&A was $51.7 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $42.5 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of net sales adjusted SG&A was 18.6%, a decrease of 160 basis points compared to the prior year period. The leverage in SG&A and adjusted SG&A was primarily due to continued leverage of costs and increased business expense efficiencies relative to the growth in net sales, partially offset by increased corporate compensation expense, increased advertising and promotional expense to support PetIQ's manufactured products, and increased expenses associated with Rocco & Roxie as compared to the third quarter of 2022.

Restructuring and related charges attributable to the Services segment optimization were $8.5 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. The Company expects total restructuring and related charges of approximately $14.6 million for the year ending December 31, 2023, including approximately $11.0 million of depreciation and amortization as well as $0.3 million inventory valuation adjustments. The Company also expects to settle its lease obligations of approximately $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The lease settlement obligations are not expected to result in an expense to the Company's consolidated statements of operations as the liabilities are currently reflected on its balance sheet as of September 30, 2023. Accordingly, the total cash expenditures related to the Services segment optimization are expected to be approximately $6.3 million.

Third quarter 2023 net income was $0.5 million, and EPS was $0.02, compared to a net loss of $49.6 million and loss per share of $1.68 in the prior year period. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $12.6 million, an increase of $11.8 million, compared to adjusted net income of $0.8 million in the prior year period. Third quarter 2023 adjusted EPS was $0.42, compared adjusted EPS of $0.03 in the prior year period.

EBITDA was $24.7 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $12.8 million in the prior year period, an increase of 93.2%. Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA was a record $29.3 million, an increase of 80.0%, compared to $16.3 million in the prior year period and above the Company's guidance of $18.0 million to $20.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 280 basis points to 10.6% compared to 7.8% in the prior year period.

Adjusted SG&A, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional insight into the way management views reportable segment operations. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a definition of these measures and the financial tables that accompany this release for a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

The Company ended the third quarter of 2023 with total cash and cash equivalents of $124.6 million. For the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company generated $50.3 million of cash from operations which was driven by increased earnings as well as $30.2 million from working capital benefits. The Company’s total debt, which is comprised of its term loan, ABL, convertible notes and capital leases was $447.9 million as of September 30, 2023. The Company had total liquidity, which it defines as cash on hand plus debt availability, of $249.6 million as of September 30, 2023. The Company's net leverage as measured under the Company's credit agreement was 2.8x as of September 30, 2023, down from 4.3x in the prior year period, driven by higher earnings and improved working capital. Please refer to the financial table within this press release for a calculation of the Company’s net leverage under the credit agreement.

Outlook

For the full year 2023 the Company is raising its outlook previously provided, and now expects the following, inclusive of its Services segment optimization announced today:

  • Net sales of $1,060 million to $1,080 million, an increase of approximately 16.0% compared to 2022 based on the mid-point of the guidance
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $99 million to $103 million, an increase of approximately 30.0% compared to 2022 based on the mid-point of the guidance

The Company does not provide guidance for net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA, and similarly cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted adjusted EBITDA and net income without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for certain components of net income and the respective reconciliations. These forecasted items are not within the Company’s control, may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results for the fourth quarter, and full year ending December 31, 2023.

Conference Call and Webcast

The Company will host a conference call with members of the executive management team to discuss these results. The conference call is scheduled to begin today at 4:30 p.m. ET. To participate on the live call listeners in North America may dial 833-816-1410 and international listeners may dial 412-317-0503.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements about our plans, objectives, expectations, assumptions or future events. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve estimates, assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performances, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made or management's good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to, general economic or market conditions, global economic slowdown, increased inflation, rising interest rates, global conflict and recent and potential future bank failures; our ability to successfully grow our business through acquisitions and our ability to integrate acquisitions, including Rocco & Roxie; our ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and reinvestment from the Services segment optimization, the anticipated costs associated with the optimization, and the success of our remaining wellness centers following the optimization; our dependency on a limited number of customers; our ability to implement our growth strategy effectively; our ability to manage our manufacturing and supply chain effectively; disruptions in our manufacturing and distribution chains; competition from veterinarians and others in our industry; reputational damage to our brands; economic trends and spending on pets; the effectiveness of our marketing and trade promotion programs; recalls or withdrawals of our products or product liability claims; our ability to introduce new products and improve existing products; our ability to protect our intellectual property; costs associated with governmental regulation; our ability to keep and retain key employees; our ability to sustain profitability; and the risks set forth under the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and other reports filed time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Consequently, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, PetIQ uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted SG&A, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin.

Adjusted net income consists of net income adjusted for tax expense, acquisition expenses, integration costs, litigation costs, restructuring costs and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted net income is utilized by management to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share is defined as non-GAAP adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Adjusted SG&A consists of SG&A adjusted for acquisition expenses, stock-based compensation expense, integration costs, and litigation expense.

EBITDA represents net income before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus adjustments for transactions that management does not believe are representative of our core ongoing business including acquisition costs, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation expense, and integration costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA stated as a percentage of net sales.

Adjusted EBITDA is utilized by management as a factor in evaluating the Company's performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies. The Company presents EBITDA because it is a necessary component for computing adjusted EBITDA.

We believe that the use of these non-GAAP measures provides additional tools for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. In addition, you should be aware when evaluating these non-GAAP measures that in the future we may incur expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these or other unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies do not calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. Our management does not, and you should not, consider the non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements. See a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP measure, in the financial tables that accompany this release.

(1) Depreciation includes $7.3 million of accelerated depreciation recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, associated with Services segment optimization.

(2) Non-cash goodwill impairment due to a significant decline in the Company’s market capitalization, driven primarily by rising interest rates and macroeconomic conditions.

(3) Acquisition costs include legal, accounting, banking, consulting, diligence, and other costs related to completed and contemplated acquisitions.

(4) Integration costs represent costs related to integrating acquired businesses, including personnel costs such as severance and retention bonuses, consulting costs, contract termination costs and IT conversion costs.

(5) Restructuring consists of variable lease expenses, inventory valuation adjustments and other miscellaneous costs.

(6) Effective December 31, 2022, the Company no longer includes non-same-store operating results related to the Services segment wellness centers with less than six full quarters of operating results, and pre-opening expenses, as an adjustment to its calculation of its non-GAAP financial measures. As a result, the following non-GAAP measures have been recast for comparability to remove non-same-store operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as follows:

  • Adjusted SG&A - $1.2 and $5.7 million, respectively
  • Adjusted net income - $3.5 and $15.9 million, respectively
  • Adjusted EBITDA - $2.9 and $13.6 million, respectively

(7) Restructuring consists of accelerated depreciation and amortization, variable lease expenses, and other miscellaneous costs.
