Insights

Petco's Q1 2024 earnings report presents a mixed bag of data that's important for retail investors to consider. Net revenue decreased by 1.7% year-over-year to $1.5 billion, which could raise concerns about the company's growth trajectory. Additionally, comparable sales declined by 1.2% year-over-year, a metric that often serves as a barometer of consumer demand and store performance.

More troubling is the significant GAAP net loss of $46.5 million, or ($0.17) per share, compared to a much smaller net loss in the previous year. This widening loss may indicate deeper structural issues or increased costs that have yet to be mitigated. The Adjusted Net Income of ($11.8) million further underscores these challenges, showing a considerable drop from the prior year's positive adjusted income.

One of the more alarming figures is the decline in Adjusted EBITDA to $75.6 million from $111.0 million last year. EBITDA, which stands for Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, is a key indicator of a company's profitability and operational efficiency. The drop suggests that Petco is facing challenges in maintaining its operating performance. Additionally, operating cash flow turned negative at ($8.4) million, compared to a positive $37.7 million last year, which indicates potential liquidity issues.

Looking ahead, the company's guidance for Q2 2024 expects slight revenue growth to $1.525 billion and a moderate improvement in Adjusted EBITDA to $80 million. However, the guidance still points to an Adjusted EPS of ($0.02), which means another quarter of losses. This outlook, while marginally optimistic, indicates that significant challenges remain in steering the company back to profitability.

From a market research perspective, the pet industry remains robust with consumers continuing to spend on pet health and wellness, even in uncertain economic times. However, Petco's mixed performance across different segments highlights the nuanced nature of consumer behavior. The consumables business was up 0.1% while the services and other business grew by 4.2%. These segments showed resilience, likely driven by recurring revenue streams from pet food and health services. In contrast, the supplies and companion animal business saw a decline of 6.8%, suggesting that discretionary spending on pet accessories and new pets might be softening.

This disparity indicates that while essential pet care items remain in demand, non-essential categories are facing headwinds. For retail investors, this could mean that Petco's future growth may rely heavily on its ability to innovate and expand its essential services and consumables offerings.

Petco's brand strength is a significant asset, but the company needs to leverage it more effectively to navigate through current market challenges. The emphasis on repositioning for profitable growth and retail fundamentals could be the right strategy if executed well. However, it will require close monitoring of market trends and a flexible approach to adapt to shifting consumer preferences.

(1)	Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share ("Adjusted EPS"), and Free Cash Flow 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.

Fiscal Q2 2024 Outlook

The company is providing Q2 guidance for revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS, in addition to reaffirming full year interest, share count, and capital expenditure expectations.

For Fiscal Q2 2024, the company expects:

Metric*	FQ2 2024 Guidance
Net Revenue	~ $1.525 billion
Adjusted EBITDA	~ $80 million
Adjusted EPS	~ $(0.02)

For Fiscal 2024 (a 52-week year), the company expects:

Metric*

2024

Guidance, YoY

Net interest expense

~$145 million

Capital Expenditures

~$140 million

*Assumptions in the guidance include that economic conditions, currency rates and the tax and regulatory landscape remain generally consistent. For fiscal 2024, our guidance anticipates a 26 percent tax rate, and 272 million weighted average diluted share count. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures and have not been reconciled 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 and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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.

The tables below reflect the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS, as applicable, for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2024 compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2023, respectively.

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 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 February 3, 2024 filed with the SEC on April 3, 2024 for additional information on Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS

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 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.

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 weeks ended May 4, 2024 compared to the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2023, respectively.
