Rhea-AI Filing Summary

PetMed Express reported first quarter results for the period ended June 30, 2026. Net sales were $41.0 million, down 19.9% from $51.2 million a year earlier as lower consumer promotional usage was more than offset by weaker prescription medication sales. Net loss was $6.1 million, or $(0.28) per diluted share, a substantial improvement from a $34.2 million loss, or $(1.65) per share, primarily due to the absence of prior-year goodwill and trade name impairment charges and lower general and administrative and advertising expenses, partially offset by lower gross profit.

Adjusted EBITDA was $(3.4) million, compared with $(2.7) million in the prior-year quarter, reflecting a $0.8 million decline. Operating cash use improved but remained negative, with net cash used in operating activities of $7.7 million versus $12.3 million a year earlier. Cash and cash equivalents were $13.1 million at June 30, 2026, down from $21.4 million at March 31, 2026. Management highlighted more efficient marketing with 70,000 new customers and a 15% lower acquisition cost, nearly 14% lower general and administrative expenses, completion of an SAP ERP rollout, and a recently announced sale-leaseback intended to strengthen the balance sheet.

Positive

  • Net loss narrowed to $6.1 million from $34.2 million year over year, an 82% improvement primarily driven by the absence of prior-year impairment charges and reduced operating expenses.
  • Operating cash outflow improved to $7.7 million from $12.3 million in the prior-year quarter, indicating lower cash burn despite continued losses.
  • General and administrative expenses fell by nearly 14%, and customer acquisition cost declined 15% year over year while adding 70,000 new customers, suggesting improving operating efficiency.

Negative

  • Net sales declined 19.9% to $41.0 million from $51.2 million in the prior-year quarter, driven by weaker prescription medication sales.
  • Adjusted EBITDA deteriorated to $(3.4) million from $(2.7) million, a $0.8 million worsening despite cost reductions.
  • Cash and cash equivalents fell to $13.1 million from $21.4 million three months earlier, reflecting ongoing operating and investing cash outflows.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA1 was $(3.4) million compared to $(2.7) million in the prior year period."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
sale-leaseback transaction financial
"with our recently announced sale-leaseback transaction, we took an important step toward strengthening our balance sheet"
A sale-leaseback transaction is when a company sells an asset it owns—often real estate or equipment—to a buyer and immediately rents the same asset back so it can keep using it. It matters to investors because it converts a fixed asset into cash while creating a new ongoing rental expense, which can boost short-term liquidity but also change long-term cash flow and debt metrics; think of selling your house and signing a lease to stay as a tenant.
SAP ERP system technical
"completed one of the largest milestones in our technology transformation with the enterprise-wide rollout of our new SAP ERP system"
operating lease right-of-use assets financial
"Operating lease right-of-use assets, net | 395 | | | 512"
An operating lease right-of-use (ROU) asset is an accounting entry that shows the value of a leased item you have the legal right to use—like a building, vehicle, or equipment—recorded on a company’s balance sheet along with the corresponding lease obligation. Investors care because it adds to reported assets and liabilities, changing measures like leverage and return on assets much like bringing a long-term rental onto the company’s financial snapshot, which can affect credit terms and valuation.
share-based compensation financial
"We believe it is useful to exclude non-cash charges, such as share-based compensation expense (benefit)"
Share-based compensation is when a company pays employees, executives or directors with its own stock or rights to buy stock instead of, or in addition to, cash. Think of it like receiving store gift cards instead of extra paycheck — it can motivate staff to boost the company’s value, but it also increases the number of shares outstanding and can shrink each existing owner’s slice of profits and voting power. Investors watch it because it affects reported earnings, share count and the alignment between management and shareholders.
impairment of goodwill and intangible assets financial
"Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets | — | | | 27,258"
An impairment of goodwill and intangible assets occurs when a company determines the value recorded on its books for items like goodwill, brand names, patents, or customer lists is higher than what those assets are actually worth. For investors, impairments matter because they force the company to write down value as an expense, reducing reported profits and shareholders’ equity and signaling that past acquisitions or future earnings expectations may have been overestimated—similar to admitting you paid more for a used car than it’s now worth.
Net sales $41.0 million decreased 19.9% from $51.2 million in the prior-year quarter
Net loss $6.1 million improved by $28.0 million from $34.2 million in the prior-year quarter

Exhibit 99.1
PetMeds® Announces First Quarter Financial Results

Delray Beach, Florida, August 13, 2026, PetMed Express, Inc. dba PetMeds and parent company of PetCareRx (NASDAQ: PETS) today announced its financial results for its first quarter ended June 30, 2026. 

Quarterly Highlights
Net sales demonstrated sequential quarterly stabilization. For the first quarter ended June 30, 2026, net sales were $41.0 million compared to $51.2 million for the prior year period, a decrease of 19.9%, as lower consumer promotional usage was more than offset by a decline in prescription medication sales.
Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was $6.1 million, or $(0.28) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $34.2 million, or $(1.65) per diluted share, for the prior year period. The decrease in net loss was primarily driven by the absence of the prior-year goodwill and trade name impairment charges and to a lesser extent lower general and administrative expenses and advertising expenses. These favorable factors were partially offset by lower gross profit primarily driven by lower manufacturer rebates as a percentage of sales, partially offset by lower net freight costs per order.
Adjusted EBITDA1 was $(3.4) million compared to $(2.7) million in the prior year period.

“Our first quarter results reflect continued progress toward our goal of establishing a direct, clear path back to sustainable profitability," said Leslie Campbell, Chairman and Interim CEO and President of PetMeds. "We are pleased that net sales have stabilized sequentially over the past several quarters, and we continued to make our marketing spend more efficient, acquiring 70,000 new customers while reducing our cost of acquiring a new customer by 15% year-over-year. At the same time, disciplined expense management drove a nearly 14% reduction in general and administrative expenses. We also completed one of the largest milestones in our technology transformation with the enterprise-wide rollout of our new SAP ERP system, further modernizing and strengthening our financial systems and reporting processes. And with our recently announced sale-leaseback transaction, we took an important step toward strengthening our balance sheet and enhancing our financial flexibility to invest in the initiatives with the greatest potential to drive shareholder returns."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors and the market with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed (see below) adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income excluding share-based compensation expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization; income tax provision, interest income (expense), and other non-operational expenses. We have provided reconciliations below of net (loss) income to adjusted EBITDA, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
We have included adjusted EBITDA, herein, because it is a key measure used by our management and Board of Directors to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparability across reporting periods by removing the effect of non-cash expenses and other expenses. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board of Directors.
We believe it is useful to exclude non-cash charges, such as share-based compensation expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization from our adjusted EBITDA because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. We believe it is useful to exclude income tax provision and interest income (expense), as neither are components of our core business operations. We also believe that it is useful to exclude other non-operational expenses, employee severance, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and interest expense relating to an estimated unremitted prior sales tax accrual as these items are not indicative of our ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, and these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditures;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect net share-based compensation. Share-based compensation has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a material recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest income (expense), net; or changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect transaction related costs and other items which are either not representative of our underlying operations or are incremental costs that result from an actual or planned transaction and include litigation matters, integration consulting fees, internal salaries and wages (to the extent the individuals are assigned full-time to integration and transformation activities) and certain costs related to integrating and converging IT systems;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain non-operating expenses including the employee severance which reduces cash available to us;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain non-operating expenses (income) including sales tax expense (income) relating to recording a liability for sales tax we did not collect from our customers;
Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces the measures usefulness as comparative measures.
Because of these and other limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should only be considered as supplemental to, and alongside with other GAAP based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income, net margin, and our other GAAP results.
