PetIQ Q2 2017 Earnings release

Exhibit 99.1

Picture 1

PetIQ, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Financial Results

Second Quarter Net Sales  increase of 42.3% to $87.2 Million

Generates Second Quarter Net Income of $6.1 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $7.6 Million 

EAGLE, Idaho – August 14, 2017 – PetIQ, Inc. (“PetIQ” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PETQ), a leading pet medication and wellness company, today reported financial results for its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017.


“We are pleased to report strong second quarter financial results following a successful initial public offering in July,” said Cord Christensen,  PetIQ’s Chief Executive Officer.  “We generated net sales growth of 42%  and we realized material operating margin expansion of 660 basis points demonstrating the significant leverage of our business model.” 

Initial Public Offering

 

On July 26,  2017 the Company closed its initial public offering of 7,187,500 shares of Class A common stock, including 937,500 shares issued as a result of the full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares (the “IPO”). Upon closing of the IPO, there were 13,222,583 Class A common shares outstanding plus an additional 8,268,188 nonvoting Class B common shares outstanding, for a total of 21,490,770. The Company received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $107.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts.

 

Presentation

 

This press release presents historical results for the periods presented, of PetIQ, LLC, the predecessor of PetIQ, Inc. for financial reporting purposes.  The financial results of PetIQ, Inc. have not been included in the press release as it had not engaged in any business activities during the periods presented.  Accordingly, these historical results do not purport to reflect what the results of operations of PetIQ, Inc. would have been had the Company’s IPO and related transactions occurred prior to such periods.  For example, these historical results do not reflect the attribution of net income to non-controlling interests or the provision for corporate income taxes on the income attributed to PetIQ, Inc. that PetIQ, Inc. expects to recognize in future periods.

 

Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

 

Net sales increased 42.3% to $87.2 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $61.3 million for the same period in the prior year. 

 

Gross profit was $16.0 million, or 18.3% as a percentage of net sales, compared to $9.0 million, or 14.6% as a percentage of net sales, in the same period last year. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales versus the prior year period was primarily due to improved economies of scale and product mix.

 

Operating income was $6.7 million, or 7.7% as a percentage of net sales, in the second quarter of 2017, representing an increase of 660 basis points compared to operating income of $0.7 million, or 1.1% as a percentage of net sales, in the second quarter of 2016.

 


 

Net income was $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to net income of $0.6 million for the prior year period.

 

Adjusted EBITDA increased $4.2 million to $7.6 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $3.4 million in the second quarter 2016.  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are Non-GAAP financial measures defined under “Non-GAAP Measures,” and is reconciled to net income in the financial tables that accompany this release.


First Six Months of 2017 Financial Results

 

Net sales increased 36% to $154.2 million for the first six months of 2017, compared to the same period in the prior year.

Net Income was $10.3 million for the first six months of 2017 compared to income of $0.3 million for the prior year period.

 

Adjusted EBITDA increased $5.4 million to  $13.4 million for the first six months of 2017 compared to $7.9 million in the comparable period of 2016.

Forward Looking Statements 

 

This press release contains forward-looking statements 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, our dependency on a limited number of customers; our ability to implement our growth strategy effectively; our ability to achieve or sustain profitability; competition from veterinarians and others in our industry; failure of the Fairness to Pet Owners Act of 2017 to become law; 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 successfully grow our business through acquisitions; our ability to introduce new products and improve existing products; our failure to protect our intellectual property; costs associated with governmental regulation; risks related to our international operations; our ability to keep and retain key employees; and the risks set forth under the "Risk Factors' section of the final prospectus for PetIQ, Inc., dated July 20, 2017, and filed with the SEC on July 21, 2017. 

 

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: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

 

EBITDA represents net income before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus loss on debt extinguishment, management fees and litigation expenses. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts for transactions that management does not believe are representative of our core ongoing business. Adjusted EBITDA is utilized by management: (i) as a factor in evaluating management's performance when determining incentive compensation and (ii) to evaluate 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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. In addition, you should be aware when evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies do not calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.  Our management does not, and you should not, consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures


 

determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of EBITDA 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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, in the financial tables that accompany this release.
