EAGLE, Idaho, Nov. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PetIQ, Inc. (“PetIQ” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: PETQ), a leading pet medication and wellness company, today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Our team delivered net sales at the high-end of our guidance range for the quarter and we significantly exceeded our adjusted EBITDA outlook, posting strong double-digit growth year-over-year. The third quarter performance was driven by sales growth in five of our seven manufactured product categories, with double-digit growth in four categories. Importantly, third quarter consumption in our flea and tick brands was positive to last year and this result was well ahead of the total category. Our financial results helped us generate the highest amount of cash in a single quarter. Our mission to provide convenient and affordable access to veterinarian products and services has never been more important, pet parents are continuing to see the value we are delivering, and we are increasing our market share as they experience our broad range of pet health and wellness offerings.”

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Net sales were $209.7 million for the third quarter of 2022, at the high-end of the Company’s guidance for the quarter of $200 million to $210 million. Net sales for the third quarter of 2022 decreased 0.4% compared to the prior year period. For comparative purposes, net sales increased 1.3%, excluding $3.5 million of sales in the prior year period related to the previously disclosed loss of distribution rights in the prior year period.

Third quarter Product net sales were in-line with the Company's expectations as it benefited from consumers returning to its core product categories and trading down from more expensive treatments into its PetIQ manufactured brands. The Company's new product launches in 2022 have continued to perform well.

Third quarter 2022 gross profit was $50.8 million, an increase of 20.7%, compared to $42.1 million in the prior year period. Gross margin increased 420 basis points to 24.2% from 20.0% in the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit was $53.0 million, an increase of 14.0%, compared to $46.5 million in the prior year period, reflecting favorable product mix including the success of the Company’s manufactured product portfolio such as the recently launched product NextStar. The Company also benefited from pricing and Services segment optimization during the quarter. Adjusted gross margin increased 290 basis points to 25.8% for the third quarter 2022 compared to 22.9% in the prior year period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was $46.0 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $45.3 million in the prior year period. Adjusted SG&A was $41.3 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $39.0 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of net sales adjusted SG&A was 21.9%, an increase of 40 basis points compared to the prior year period. A significant driver of the increase in adjusted SG&A expenses was continued marketing investments of $2.1 million to support the growth of PetIQ's manufactured brand product portfolio.

Net loss was $49.6 million for the third quarter of 2022 which includes a $47.3 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, compared to a net loss of $8.3 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2022 increased 62.1% to $4.3 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share ("EPS") was $0.15, compared to adjusted net income of $2.7 million, and adjusted EPS of $0.09 in the prior year period.

EBITDA was $12.8 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $5.9 million in the prior year period, an increase of 115.8%. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA was $19.2 million, an increase of 17.4%, compared to $16.4 million in the prior year period and above the Company's guidance of $16.5 million to $17.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 140 basis points to 9.2% compared to 7.8% in the prior year period.

Adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted net income (loss), 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.

Segment Results

Product:

For the third quarter of 2022, Product segment net sales decreased 2.9% to $176.2 million from $181.6 million in the prior year period. For comparative purposes, Product segment net sales decreased 1.0% excluding $3.5 million of sales in the prior year period related to loss of distribution rights, as previously disclosed.

Product segment adjusted EBITDA increased 5.8% to $35.6 million from adjusted EBITDA of $33.7 million in the third quarter of 2021. Product segment adjusted EBITDA margin in the third quarter of 2022 was 20.2% compared to 18.5% in the prior year period as a result of favorable product mix due to sales of PetIQ's manufactured products.

Services:

For the third quarter of 2022, Services segment net revenues were $33.5 million, an increase of 15.6% compared to $29.0 million in the same period last year. Services segment adjusted EBITDA was $4.2 million, an increase of 10.6% compared to $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. Services segment net revenues and adjusted EBITDA benefited from improved revenue metrics and optimization of mobile clinics and wellness centers.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

The Company ended the quarter with total cash and cash equivalents of $56.7 million. During the third quarter, the Company generated $64.5 million of cash from operations. The Company’s total debt, which is comprised of its term loan, ABL, convertible debt and capital leases, was $454.6 million as of September 30, 2022. The Company had total liquidity, which it defines as cash on hand plus debt availability, of $181.7 million as of September 30, 2022. The Company repurchased a total of $3.9 million, or 373,408 shares, of its Class A Common Stock during the quarter pursuant to its previously announced stock repurchase program.

Outlook

For the full year 2022 the Company expects:

Net sales of $920 million to $940 million, consistent with the net sales guidance previously provided on August 8, 2022. Based on this guidance and solely for comparative purposes, the Company expects net sales to increase 3.7% compared to 2021 based on the mid-point of the guidance and excluding $36.1 million of sales in the prior year related to the loss of distribution rights.
Adjusted EBITDA of $93 million to $95 million, an increase of $1.0 million from the adjusted EBITDA guidance previously provided on August 8, 2022. Based on this guidance and solely comparative purposes, the Company expects adjusted EBITDA to increase approximately 3.2% compared to 2021 based on the mid-point of the guidance and excluding $1.8 million of adjusted EBITDA in the prior year related to the loss of distribution rights.

The Company does not provide guidance for the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA, net income (loss), and similarly cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted adjusted EBITDA and net income (loss) 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 full year ending December 31, 2022.

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, the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the global economy; changes in general economic or market conditions, including inflation, that could affect overall consumer spending or our industry; our ability to successfully grow our business through acquisitions; our dependency on a limited number of customers; our ability to implement our growth strategy effectively; 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 manage our manufacturing and supply chain effectively; disruptions in our manufacturing and distribution chains; 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, 2021 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 also 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 (loss), adjusted earnings per share, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin.

Adjusted net income (loss) consists of net income (loss) adjusted for tax expense, non-cash goodwill impairment charge, acquisition expenses, integration costs and costs of discontinued clinics, loss on debt extinguishment and related costs, non-same-store adjustment, litigation costs, and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted net income (loss) 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 gross profit consists of gross profit adjusted for gross profit on veterinarian clinics and wellness centers that are not part of same store sales. Adjusted gross profit is utilized by management to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies.

Adjusted SG&A consists of SG&A adjusted for acquisition expenses, stock-based compensation expense, non-same store adjustment, loss on debt extinguishment and related costs, integration costs and costs of discontinued clinics, and litigation expense.

EBITDA represents net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and a non-cash goodwill impairment charge. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus adjustments for transactions that management does not believe are representative of our core ongoing business including acquisition costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense, non-same store adjustment, integration costs and costs of discontinued clinics and litigation expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA stated as a percentage of net sales.

Beginning in the fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2022, we will no longer add back non-same store adjustments in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and will recast prior year period to reflect this change.

Adjusted EBITDA is utilized by management: (i) as a factor in evaluating management's performance when determining incentive compensation, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and (iii) allow for improved comparability over prior periods due to significant growth in the Company’s new wellness centers. 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 non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure, in the financial tables that accompany this release.

⁽¹⁾ Non-cash goodwill impairment due to a significant decline in the Company’s market capitalization, driven primarily by rising interest rates and macroeconomic conditions. Additionally, the Company made the strategic decision to slow expansion plans for the Services business this year.

⁽²⁾Acquisition costs include legal, accounting, banking, consulting, diligence, and other costs related to completed and contemplated acquisitions.

⁽³⁾ Loss on debt extinguishment and related costs are related to our entering into two new credit facilities, including the write off of deferred financing costs and related costs.

⁽⁴⁾ Non same-store adjustment includes revenue and costs, and associated gross profit, related to our Services segment wellness centers and host partners with less than six full quarters of operating results, and also include pre-opening expenses.

⁽⁵⁾ Integration costs and costs of discontinued clinics represent costs related to integrating the acquired businesses including personnel costs such as severance and signing bonuses, consulting costs, contract termination, and IT conversion costs. Depending on the type of costs, the costs are primarily in the Products and the corporate segments. Costs of discontinued clinics represent costs to close Services segment locations.
