In the third quarter of 2021, Petco delivered net revenue of $1.4 billion, up 15 percent versus prior year. Net income improved by $49.3 million from prior year to $52.8 million or $0.20 per share. Trailing twelve-month net income improved by $156.8 million from prior year to $129.3 million. Adjusted Net Income1 for the third quarter increased $40.4 million from prior year to $54.0 million or $0.20 per share, while Adjusted EBITDA1 increased by 17 percent from prior year to $138.5 million.

"Q3 marked our sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth with a 15 percent Q3 comp, lapping 17 percent a year ago, giving us confidence to raise guidance for Full Year 2021," said Ron Coughlin, Chairman and CEO of Petco. "Our focus on long-term, sustainable growth is powered by continued execution against our transformation, with one of the fastest veterinary expansions in history, further enhancement of our digital competitive advantages, expansion of our merchandise differentiation through powerful owned and exclusive brands, and our incredible Petco Partners who are improving more and more pet lives every single day in a challenging environment."

Additionally, through the first thirty-nine weeks of 2021, total debt remained roughly flat at $1.7 billion with Net Debt1 improving $94.8 million to $1.5 billion driven by net cash flow from operations of $288.4 million and Free Cash Flow1 of $124.1 million, up 43 percent and 18 percent, respectively, from the first thirty-nine weeks of 2020. Also, in the first thirty-nine weeks of 2021, Net Debt1 / Trailing Twelve Month Adjusted EBITDA1 decreased 19 percent or 0.6x to 2.6x driven by Free Cash Flow1 generation and growth in Adjusted EBITDA1.

Fiscal 2021 Guidance:

The following guidance as of November 18, 2021 reflects the company's expectations for fiscal year 2021.

Metric

Current Guidance

Prior Guidance

Net Revenue

$5.725 - $5.775 billion

$5.6 - $5.7 billion

Adjusted EBITDA2

$577 - $582 million

$565 - $575 million

Adjusted EPS2

$0.86 - $0.88

$0.81 - $0.85

Capital Expenditures

$220 - $235 million

Near top of $185 - $235 million range

Assumptions in the guidance include that economic conditions, currency rates and the tax and regulatory landscape remain generally consistent. Adjusted EPS guidance assumes approximately $80 million of interest expense, a 26 percent tax rate and a 266 million weighted average diluted share count.

(1)

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt, and Trailing Twelve Month Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional information on non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measures.

(2)

We have not reconciled Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS outlook to the most comparable GAAP outlook because it is not possible to do so without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and potential variability of reconciling items, which are dependent on future events and often outside of management's control and which could be significant. Because such items cannot be reasonably predicted with the level of precision required, we are unable to provide outlook for the comparable GAAP measures. Forward- looking estimates of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are made in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted herein.

(3)

Adjusted EBITDA excludes a $19.8 million gain from (i) mark to market accounting on our investment in A Place for Rover, Inc. ("Rover") and (ii) the value of earn-out shares issued by Rover to the company pursuant to terms of Rover's business combination with Nebula Caravel Acquisition, Corp.

The company will host an earnings conference call on November 18, 2021 at 8:30 AM Eastern Time to discuss Petco's financial results. The conference call will be accessible through live webcast. Interested investors and other individuals can access the webcast, earnings release, earnings presentation, and infographic via the company's investor relations page at ir.petco.com.

 NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The following information provides definitions and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The company has provided this non-GAAP financial information, which is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in this earnings release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release. The non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA and Trailing Twelve Month Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA, including Trailing Twelve Month Adjusted EBITDA, is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") rules because it excludes certain amounts included in net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measure to share with investors because it  facilitates comparison of the current period performance with that of the comparable prior period. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA affords investors a view of what management considers to be Petco's core operating performance as well as the ability to make a more informed assessment of such operating performance as compared with that of the prior period.

Please see the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2021 filed with the SEC on April 5, 2021 for additional information on Adjusted EBITDA. The tables below reflect the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for the thirteen weeks and trailing twelve months ended October 30, 2021 compared to the prior year quarter and twelve-month period ended October 31, 2020, respectively, as well as the twelve-month period ended January 30, 2021.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to Petco common stockholders (Adjusted EPS) are considered non-GAAP financial measures under the SEC's rules because they exclude certain amounts included in the net income (loss) attributable to Petco common stockholders and diluted earnings per share attributable to Petco common stockholders calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are meaningful measures to share with investors because they facilitate comparison of the current period performance with that of the comparable prior period. In addition, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS afford investors a view of what management considers to be Petco's core earnings performance as well as the ability to make a more informed assessment of such earnings performance with that of the prior period.

The tables below reflect the calculation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS for the thirteen weeks ended October 30, 2021 compared to the prior year quarter ended October 31, 2020.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities less cash paid for fixed assets. Management believes that Free Cash Flow, which measures the ability to generate additional cash from business operations, is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the company's financial performance.

The table below reflects the calculation of Free Cash Flow for the thirteen and thirty- nine weeks ended October 31, 2021 compared to the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020.

Net Debt

Net Debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as the sum of current and non-current debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Management considers this adjustment useful because it reduces the volatility of total debt caused by fluctuations between cash paid against the company's revolving credit facility and cash held on hand in cash and cash equivalents.

The table below reflects the calculation of Net Debt as of  October 30, 2021 compared to the prior quarters ended January 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020.

Mexico Joint Venture EBITDA represents 50% of the entity's operating results for all periods, as adjusted to reflect the results on a basis comparable to Adjusted EBITDA. In the financial statements, this joint venture is accounted for as an equity method investment and reported net of depreciation and income taxes. Because such a presentation would not reflect the adjustments made in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, we include the 50% interest in the company's Mexico joint venture on an Adjusted EBITDA basis to ensure consistency. The table below presents a reconciliation of Mexico joint venture net income to Mexico joint venture EBITDA.

Non-cash occupancy-related costs include the difference between cash and straight-line rent for all periods.

(3)

Non-recurring costs include: severance; legal reserves and related fees; one-time consulting and other costs associated with our strategic transformation initiatives; discontinuation and liquidation costs; and costs related to our initial public offering and refinancing. While we have incurred significant costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic during fiscal 2020 and 2021, we have not classified any of these costs as non-recurring due to the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic's length and long-term impact on the macroeconomic operating environment.

(4)

We define net margin as net income (loss) attributable to Class A and B-1 common stockholders divided by net sales and Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.
