First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Record net sales of $275.7 million for the first quarter of 2022, increased 8.4%, compared to $254.3 million for the same period in the prior year. For comparative purposes, net sales increased 17.8%, excluding $20.2 million of sales related to loss of distribution rights for certain animal health manufacturing products, previously communicated. First quarter net sales were driven by growth in both the Product and Services segments. The Product segment benefited from broad-based growth across categories and sales channels with continued strength in manufactured products and new product innovation as well as stronger than normal fill orders for the start of the flea and tick season that resulted in a shift of timing of $5.0 million of sales to the first quarter of 2022 which were expected to occur in the second quarter of 2022. The increase in Services segment net revenues was driven by improved revenue metrics at the wellness centers as compared to the prior year period and optimization of the mobile clinics. Product segment net sales were $247.8 million and Services segment net revenues were $27.9 million in the first quarter of 2022.

First quarter 2022 gross profit was $57.6 million, an increase of 20.6% compared to $47.8 million in the prior year period. Gross margin increased 210 basis points to 20.9% from 18.8% in the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit was $63.3 million, an increase of 21.0% compared to $52.3 million in the prior year period, reflecting favorable product mix including the growth in sales of the Company’s manufactured product portfolio including launched products such as NextStar and reflects the benefit of Services segment optimization. Adjusted gross margin increased 270 basis points to 23.6% for the first quarter 2022 compared to 20.9% in the prior year period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was $48.2 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $40.7 million in the prior year period. Adjusted SG&A was $38.9 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $36.7 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of net sales adjusted SG&A was 14.5% a decrease of 20 basis points compared to the prior year period. The Company achieved leverage on its SG&A expenses as a percent of net sales despite an incremental $2.8 million, or 100 basis points of expense, to support two of the Company’s significant new manufactured brand introductions and continued marketing investments to help accelerate growth of its manufactured brand product portfolio.

Net income was $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 32.4%, compared to $2.4 million in the prior year period. The Company reported earnings per diluted share of $0.11 compared to $0.08 in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted net income was $18.3 million, an increase of 66.0%, compared to $11.0 million in the prior year period. The Company reported adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.62 compared to $0.41 in the first quarter of 2021.

First quarter adjusted EBITDA was $31.6 million, an increase of 17.6%, compared to $26.9 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 90 basis points to 11.5% compared to 10.6% in the prior year period which reflects the operating leverage generated in the quarter as a result of stronger margin on higher sales and the incremental profit.

Adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted net income, Non-GAAP 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 first quarter of 2022, Product segment net sales increased 7.7% to $247.8 million from $230.0 million in the prior year period. For comparative purposes, Product segment net sales increased 18.1%, excluding $20.2 million in sales related to loss of distribution rights for certain animal health manufacturing products, as previously communicated the last few quarters. A reconciliation table of reported net sales to pro forma net sales and adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021 are included in this release. The Product segment benefited from broad-based growth across categories and sales channels with continued strength in manufactured products and new product innovation as well as stronger than normal fill orders for the start of the flea and tick season that resulted in a shift of timing of $5.0 million of sales to the first quarter of 2022 from the second quarter of 2022.

Product segment adjusted EBITDA increased 23.5% to $47.9 million from adjusted EBITDA of $38.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. Product segment adjusted EBITDA margin in the first quarter of 2022 increased 250 basis points to 19.3% compared to the prior year period.

Services:

For the first quarter of 2022, Services segment net revenues were $27.9 million, an increase of 14.9% compared to $24.3 million in the same period last year. The increase in Services segment net revenues was driven by improved revenue metrics at the wellness centers as compared to the prior year period and optimization of the mobile clinics. Services segment adjusted EBITDA was $3.1 million an increase of 47.1% compared to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2021.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $51.1 million. The Company’s long-term debt, which is comprised of its term loan, ABL, and convertible debt, was $472.9 million as of March 31, 2022. The Company had total liquidity, which it defines as cash on hand plus availability, of $151.1 million as of March 31, 2022.

Outlook

The Company is reiterating its annual outlook and providing second quarter 2022 guidance.

For the full year 2022 the Company expects:

Net sales of approximately $985 million representing an increase of 5.6% compared to 2021. For comparative purposes, the Company expects net sales to increase approximately 10.0% excluding $36.1 million of sales related to loss of distribution rights for certain animal health manufacturing products, previously communicated the last few quarters.
Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $100 million representing an increase of 7.6% compared to 2021. For comparative purposes, the Company expects adjusted EBITDA to increase approximately 10.0%, excluding $1.8 million in adjusted EBITDA related to loss of distribution rights for certain animal health manufacturing products, previously communicated the last few quarters.

The Company’s annual adjusted EBITDA outlook continues to assume adjusted SG&A will increase approximately 100 basis points to 17.3% in 2022 compared to 16.3% in 2021 as a result of an incremental $15 million, or 150 basis points of marketing investments, to support its launch into direct-to-consumer channels, two significant new manufactured brand introductions, and to help accelerate growth of its manufactured brand product portfolio. Approximately $2.8 million of the aforementioned SG&A expense was incurred in the first quarter of 2022, $7.0 million expected in the second quarter of 2022 with the balance expected to be incurred in the third quarter of 2022. The annual outlook also assumes nominal improvement in adjusted EBITDA contribution from the Services segment given the continued volatility in the segment’s results as a result of the ongoing impact to the veterinarian labor market from the global pandemic.

The Company is updating its expectations for 2022 net sales seasonality. As a result of a shift in timing of $5.0 million in orders and sales to the first quarter of 2022 from the second quarter of 2022, and a slower start than normal in the month of April of the flea and tick season causing the Company’s customers to currently have inflated inventory levels in the second quarter, it now expects the second quarter of 2022 pro forma net sales to be consistent with the second quarter of 2021. Beginning the last week of April, the Company has experienced a more normalized trend to its seasonal flea and tick sales and the Company’s second quarter guidance assumes this trend will continue. For the first half of 2022 the Company expects pro forma net sales to increase approximately 9.0% compared to the first half of 2021. PetIQ continues to expect most of the net sales growth in the second half of 2022 will be weighted to the third quarter.

For the second quarter of 2022 the Company expects:

Net sales of approximately $260 million compared to $271 million of net sales in the second quarter of 2021. For comparative purposes, the Company expects net sales to be flat to second quarter of 2021 when excluding $11.8 million of sales related to loss of distribution rights for certain animal health manufacturing products, previously communicated the last few quarters. As noted above there is also a shift in timing of $5.0 million in orders and sales to the first quarter of 2022 from the second quarter of 2022, and the noted slower start than normal in the month of April of the flea and tick season.
Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $28 million compared to $34.8 million in the second quarter of 2021. The Company’s second quarter of 2022 adjusted EBITDA outlook assumes adjusted SG&A as a percent of net sales to be 340 basis points higher than the second quarter of 2021 at 17.5%, due to an incremental $7.0 million, or approximately 260 basis points of expense, to support two of its significant new manufactured brand introductions and continued marketing investments to help accelerate growth of its manufactured brand product portfolio.

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; 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, non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin.

Adjusted net income consists of net income adjusted for tax expense, acquisition expenses, integration costs and costs of discontinued clinics, non-same-store revenue, non-same-store costs, litigation costs, stock-based compensation expense, and COVID-19 related costs. 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 gross profit consists of gross profit adjusted for gross (profit) loss 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, integration costs and costs of discontinued clinics, and litigation expense.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. 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. Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA stated as a percentage of net sales. 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 adjusted net income, Non-GAAP adjusted EPS, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses (Adjusted SG&A), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin provide additional tools for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. In addition, you should be aware when evaluating adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit, adjusted SG&A, adjusted EBITDA (and accordingly, non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA margin), 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 adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies do not calculate adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit, adjusted SG&A, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin in the same manner. Our management does not, and you should not, consider adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted EBITDA margin, or adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted EBITDA 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.
