Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Net sales were $328.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 4.6% compared to net sales of $314.5 million in the prior year period, driven by an increase in net sales in both the Products and Services segments.

Products segment net sales increased 4.7% to $291.2 million for the second quarter of 2024 from $278.2 million in the prior year period, primarily reflecting an increase in sales from flea and tick, and health and wellness product categories. Net sales for PetIQ's manufactured products outperformed the Company's growth expectations for the second quarter of 2024 with an increase of 15.7% compared to the prior year period.

Services segment net sales for the second quarter of 2024 increased 3.7% to $37.7 million from $36.4 million in the prior year period driven by an increase in mobile community clinic sales, partially offset by the closure of 149 wellness centers in the second half of 2023 associated with the previously disclosed Services segment optimization.

Second quarter 2024 gross profit was $88.3 million, an increase of 19.5%, compared to $73.9 million in the prior year period. Gross margin increased 330 basis points to 26.8% from 23.5% in the prior year period, primarily from an increase in sales of PetIQ's higher margin manufactured products as a result of favorable product and channel mix. The Company also benefited from operational efficiencies in the Company's facilities and from its Services segment optimization.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $60.1 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $55.2 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A was 18.3% for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 80 basis points compared to the prior year period. Adjusted SG&A was $56.3 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $51.5 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of net sales adjusted SG&A was 17.1% for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 70 basis points, compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of a planned increase in marketing expense of $5.0 million to support PetIQ's manufactured brands.

Net income was $15.3 million, or EPS of $0.49, based on a diluted share count of 34.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 51.1%, compared to net income of $9.5 million, or EPS of $0.32, based on a diluted share count of 29.4 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year increase in the Company's diluted share count is due to the Company's use of the if-converted method under accounting rule ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share." The Company does not currently intend or expect to satisfy its convertible notes with common stock. Included in net income for the second quarter of 2024 is a $2.6 million loss associated with the sale of the Company's foreign subsidiary, Mark & Chappell on April 30, 2024.

Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $22.7 million and adjusted EPS was $0.70, an increase of 52.2%, compared to adjusted net income of $13.4 million, and adjusted EPS of $0.46 in the prior year period.

For the second quarter of 2024, EBITDA increased 11.8% to $32.7 million and EBITDA margin increased 60 basis points to 9.9% compared to the prior year period. Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $39.0 million, an increase of 19.0%, compared to $32.9 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 150 basis points to 11.9% for the second quarter of 2024 compared to 10.4% in the prior year period.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

The Company ended the quarter with total cash and cash equivalents of $84.1 million. The Company's total debt was $442.6 million as of June 30, 2024. The Company had total liquidity, which it defines as cash on hand plus debt availability, of $209.1 million as of June 30, 2024. The Company's net leverage as measured under the Company's credit agreement was 3.0x as of June 30, 2024, compared to 3.6x as of June 30, 2023, as a result of the Company's increased earnings and improvements in working capital.

Adjusted SG&A, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures.

In addition, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess operating performance and for business planning purposes. 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.

These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of Company management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and may differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including general economic or market conditions, including inflation and interest rates; overall consumer spending in the industry; our ability to successfully grow our business through acquisitions and our ability to integrate acquisitions; our dependency on a limited number of customers; our ability to implement our growth strategy effectively; our ability to continue to grow our Services segment; disruptions in our manufacturing, shipping, transportation and distribution chains; competition from veterinarians and others in our industry; reputational damage to our brands; 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; cyber security risks, including breaches that result in business interruption and data loss; our substantial indebtedness and ability to raise additional capital as needed; the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory approvals of the proposed transaction that could delay the consummation of the proposed transaction or cause the parties to abandon the proposed transaction; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement entered into in connection with the proposed transaction; the possibility that the Company's stockholders may not approve the proposed transaction; the risk that the parties to the merger agreement may not be able to satisfy the conditions to the proposed transaction in a timely manner or at all; risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction; the risk that any announcements relating to the proposed transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of the common stock of the Company; the risk of any unexpected costs or expenses resulting from the proposed transaction; the risk of any litigation relating to the proposed transaction; and the risk that the proposed transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of the Company to retain and hire key personnel and to maintain relationships with customers, vendors, partners, employees, stockholders and other business relationships and on its operating results and business generally.

Further information on factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated by the forward-looking statements is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and other filings made by the Company from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings, when available, are available on the investor relations section of the Company's website at https://ir.petiq.com/ or on the SEC's website at https://www.sec.gov. If any of these risks materialize or any of these assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company presently does not know of or that the Company currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made only as of the date hereof. The Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

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 SG&A, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin.

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

Adjusted net income consists of net income adjusted for tax expense, impairment and other asset charges, acquisition costs, stock-based compensation expense, integration and business transformation costs, and litigation expenses. 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.

EBITDA represents net income before interest, income taxes, 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, stock-based compensation expense, integration and business transformation costs, impairment and other asset charges, and litigation expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA stated as a percentage of total 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.

Term Loan B Adjusted EBITDA is not a non-GAAP measure and is presented solely for purposes of providing investors an understanding of the Company's financial condition and liquidity and should not be relied upon for any purposes other than an understanding of the Company's financial condition and liquidity as it relates to the Company's Term Loan B.
