SAN DIEGO, March 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Petco Health and Wellness Company, Inc. (Nasdaq: WOOF), a complete partner in pet health and wellness, today announced its fourth quarter and full year 2023 financial results.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, Petco delivered net revenue of $1.7 billion, up 6.1 percent versus prior year, inclusive of a 14th week. On an as-reported basis, the company's consumables business was up 8.8 percent versus prior year, and services and other business was up 17.4 percent versus prior year. Growth in the company's consumables and services and other business was partially offset by the company's supplies and companion animal business, down 1.4 percent versus prior year.

Adjusted Net Income1 was $6.1 million or $0.02 per share, compared to $52.8 million or $0.20 per share in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $105.3 million compared to $157.9 million in the prior year.
For the full year 2023, Petco delivered net revenue of $6.3 billion, up 3.6 percent versus prior year, inclusive of a 53rd week. On an as-reported basis, the company's consumables business was up 7.1 percent versus prior year, and services and other business was up 21.9 percent versus prior year. Growth in the company's consumables and services and other business was partially offset by its supplies and companion animal business, down 6.8 percent versus prior year. GAAP net loss of $1.3 billion or $(4.78) per share was inclusive of a goodwill impairment of $1.2B, compared to GAAP net income of $90.8 million or $0.34 per share in the prior year. Adjusted Net Income1 was $22.8 million or $0.09 per share, compared to $162.6 million or $0.61 per share in the prior year.

| 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.
|
Given the change in leadership, the company is not providing full year revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS guidance at this time. Instead, the company is providing earnings guidance for fiscal Q1. The company continues to provide interest, share count, and capital expenditure expectations for the full year.
Fiscal Q1 2024 Outlook
For Fiscal Q1 2024, the company expects:
Metric*
| FQ1 2024
Guidance
|
Net Revenue
| ~ $1.5 billion
|
Adjusted EBITDA
| ~ $70 million
|
Adjusted EPS
| ~ $(0.06)
|
Fiscal 2024 Outlook
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 fourteen and fifty-three weeks ended February 3, 2024 compared to the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended January 28, 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 January 28, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023 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 fourteen and fifty-three weeks ended February 3, 2024 compared to the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended January 28, 2023, respectively.

| Mexico Joint Venture EBITDA represents 50 percent 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 percent 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.
