Insights
The reported 19.6% year-over-year increase in net sales reaching over $1.1 billion indicates a robust growth trajectory for PetIQ, which is likely to be received positively by investors and stakeholders. This growth surpasses the company's own projections, suggesting a strong market demand for pet health and wellness products. The exceedance of the company's full year 2023 EBITDA guidance reflects operational efficiency and effective cost management strategies. However, it is important to analyze the sustainability of this growth, considering the competitive landscape and potential market saturation.
Furthermore, the record annual cash from operations of $61.9 million strengthens the company's financial position, providing more flexibility for future investments or debt reduction. The improvement in net leverage to a record low is indicative of a healthier balance sheet, which could lead to potential credit rating improvements and lower borrowing costs. Investors should consider the implications of these financial health indicators on the company's ability to invest in growth while also managing its capital structure effectively.
PetIQ's strategic investments in marketing and the subsequent gains in consumption rates and market share are critical for maintaining a competitive edge. The pet health and wellness industry is experiencing a rise in consumer spending, driven by the humanization of pets and increased ownership. PetIQ's focus on affordable and convenient pet health solutions aligns with consumer trends towards value and accessibility. The planned reinvestment of cost savings into marketing initiatives for 2024 suggests a proactive approach to capturing further market share.
However, the effectiveness of these marketing strategies should be monitored, as increased marketing spend does not always correlate with proportional gains in revenue. It would be beneficial to analyze consumer responses to the company's marketing campaigns and the resulting ROI. Additionally, understanding the competitive strategies of other players in the market will provide context to PetIQ's performance and strategic direction.
The pet medication and wellness sector is a specialized market where consumer trust and product efficacy are paramount. PetIQ's performance indicates that it has successfully navigated these industry-specific challenges. The company's ability to exceed top and bottom line guidance suggests that its products and services are resonating with pet owners. It is beneficial for stakeholders to consider the regulatory environment of pet medications and wellness products, as changes could impact PetIQ's operations.
Moreover, the company's mention of optimizing its Services segment and reinvesting in growth initiatives points to a strategic pivot that could enhance its service offerings. The focus on innovation and expansion within the pet health sector is crucial for long-term success. Stakeholders should evaluate how these strategic decisions align with broader industry trends, such as the increasing use of technology in pet health and the growing emphasis on preventive care.

The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful additional information to investors about current trends in the Company's operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of operations. 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.
Outlook
For the full year 2024 and first quarter of 2024 the Company is providing its outlook inclusive of its Services segment optimization, the expected sale of its foreign subsidiary, Mark & Chappell and a return to more normal flea and tick seasonality as compared to the record seasonal patterns experienced in 2023. Additionally, for the year ending December 31, 2024, the Company expects the 2024 net sales contribution to be weighted to the first half of 2024, with approximately
For the full year 2024 the Company expects:
- Net sales of
$1,130.0 million to$1,180.0 million - Adjusted EBITDA of
$109.0 million to$114.0 million
For the first quarter of 2024 the Company expects:
- Net sales of
$290.0 million to$310.0 million - Adjusted EBITDA of
$31.0 million to$33.0 million
The Company does not provide guidance for net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA, and similarly cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted adjusted EBITDA and net income 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 first quarter ending March 31, 2024 and full year ending December 31, 2024.

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, 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; and the risks set forth under the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 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 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 gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted SG&A, adjusted SG&A as a percentage of total net sales, adjusted net (loss) income, adjusted (loss) earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow.
Adjusted gross profit consists of gross profit adjusted for restructuring and purchase accounting adjustment to inventory. Adjusted gross margin is adjusted gross margin stated as a percentage of total net sales.
Adjusted SG&A consists of SG&A adjusted for acquisition costs, stock-based compensation expense, integration and business transformation costs, and litigation expenses. Adjusted SG&A is adjusted SG&A as a percentage of total net sales.
Adjusted net (loss) income consists of net income adjusted for tax expense, impairment and other asset charges, acquisition costs, integration and business transformation costs, litigation expenses, restructuring costs and stock-based compensation expense. 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, impairment and other asset charges, and 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, restructuring, stock-based compensation expense, litigation expenses, and integration and business transformation costs. 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.
Free cash flow consists of cash provided by operations less capital expenditures.
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.
