DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PetMed Express, Inc. d/b/a PetMeds and parent company of PetCareRx, (NASDAQ:PETS) (the "Company"), today announced preliminary second quarter fiscal year 2026 results and filed a Form 12b-25, Notification of Late Filing, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is unable to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense.

Preliminary Second Quarter Net Sales:

For the fiscal second quarter ended September 30, 2025, net sales are estimated to range from $43.4 million to $44.5 million compared to $58.0 million (as restated) in the prior year period.

For the six months ended September 30, 2025, net sales are estimated to range from $94.5 million to $95.6 million compared to $124.3 million (as restated) in the prior year period.

The Company is unable at this time to provide a reasonable estimate of operating income or net income for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2025, due to an ongoing analysis of the timing and amount of an anticipated goodwill impairment charge that was previously discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, that was filed on October 14, 2025 (see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in said Form 10-K).

The Company had $36.1 million of cash and no debt as of September 30, 2025.

The financial information provided herein is estimated and unaudited, and the Company's actual results may differ from these results due to final adjustments and developments that may arise or information that may become available between now and the time the Company's financial statements are finalized and included in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Receipt of Notice of Non-Compliance from Nasdaq:

On November 12, 2025, the Company received an expected notice (the "Notice") from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), which indicated that, as a result of the Company's delay in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025 (the "Q2 10-Q"), in addition to its continued delinquency in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025 (the "Q1 10-Q"), the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Listing Rule"), which requires Nasdaq-listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Notice further states that, because the Company was previously delinquent in filing its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 (the "Initial Delinquent Filing") and remains delinquent in filing the Q1 10-Q, any Nasdaq Staff exception to allow the Company to regain compliance, if granted, will be limited to a maximum of 180 calendar days from the due date of the Initial Delinquent Filing, or December 29, 2025.

The Notice states that, as a result of the additional delinquency, the Company must submit, by November 28, 2025, an update to its original plan to regain compliance with respect to the filing requirement. The Company previously submitted its original plan to regain compliance to Nasdaq on September 2, 2025, and the Company intends to timely update Nasdaq with respect to the plan by November 28, 2025.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock on Nasdaq.

While the Company can provide no assurances as to timing, the Company continues to work diligently to complete its Q1 10-Q and Q2 10-Q and intends to file them as promptly as possible to regain compliance with the Listing Rule.
