Rhea-AI Filing Summary

PetMed Express reported weak fourth quarter and full-year 2026 results, with significant revenue declines and losses. Fourth quarter net sales were $42.8 million, down from $50.8 million, and the company posted a net loss of $4.1 million or $(0.19) per diluted share, improving from a larger prior-year loss.

For the full fiscal year, net sales fell to $179.0 million from $227.0 million, a 21.1% decrease, and the net loss widened sharply to $57.3 million or $(2.74) per share, mainly due to a $26.7 million goodwill impairment, higher stock-based compensation, professional fees and severance tied to an investigation, and lower gross profit. Full-year adjusted EBITDA deteriorated to $(15.4) million from $0.7 million. Cash and cash equivalents declined to $21.4 million from $54.7 million as operating activities used $28.4 million of cash.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Full-year deterioration in performance: Fiscal 2026 net sales fell 21.1% to $179.0 million and net loss widened to $57.3 million, while adjusted EBITDA swung from $0.7 million to $(15.4) million, indicating a materially weaker operating and earnings profile.
  • Impairments and investigation-related costs: Results include a $26.7 million goodwill impairment and $4.5 million of one-time whistleblower investigation-related professional fees and severance, contributing to large GAAP losses and raising concerns about business momentum and expense structure.

Insights

Results show sharp revenue decline, heavy charges and cash burn.

PetMed Express saw fiscal 2026 net sales drop to $179.0M, down 21.1%, as prescription medication sales weakened. The company recorded a net loss of $57.3M, driven by a $26.7M goodwill impairment and higher stock-based compensation, professional fees, and severance.

Operating performance weakened, with full-year adjusted EBITDA falling from a positive $0.7M to $(15.4)M. Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $54.7M to $21.4M, as operating activities used $28.4M of cash, highlighting pressure on liquidity despite no long-term debt disclosed in the excerpt.

The Board previously evaluated unsolicited acquisition proposals in December 2025 at $4.00–$4.25 per share but chose to remain independent. Future disclosures in periodic filings will show whether cost reductions and strategic initiatives translate into improved margins and cash flow after the large non-cash and one-time charges in fiscal 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA was $(15.4) million compared to $0.7 million for the prior year."
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.
goodwill impairment financial
"driven by a goodwill impairment charge of $26.7 million recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2026"
Goodwill impairment occurs when a company’s valued reputation or brand strength, known as goodwill, is found to be worth less than previously recorded on its financial statements. This usually happens when the company's performance declines or market conditions change, signaling that the expected benefits from acquisitions or brand value are no longer as strong. It matters to investors because it can indicate that a company's assets are less valuable than initially thought, potentially affecting its overall financial health.
non-GAAP financial measure financial
"Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information"
A non-GAAP financial measure is a way companies present their financial results that excludes certain expenses or income to show how they believe their core business is performing. It matters because it can give a clearer picture of how the company is really doing, but it can also be used to make results look better than they actually are.
valuation allowance financial
"driven by the Company establishing a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset in the prior year period."
A valuation allowance is a reserve set aside to reduce the value of certain assets on a company's financial records when there is uncertainty about whether they will generate the expected benefits. It acts like a caution sign, indicating that some assets might not be fully recoverable or worth their recorded amount. This matters to investors because it provides a more realistic picture of a company's financial health and potential risks.
whistleblower investigation financial
"of which $4.5 million were one-time charges related to the whistleblower investigation"
A whistleblower investigation is an inquiry triggered when an employee or other insider reports suspected wrongdoing—such as fraud, regulatory breaches, unsafe practices, or misleading disclosures—so regulators, outside investigators, or the company itself check the claims and gather evidence. For investors it matters because findings can lead to fines, lawsuits, management changes, or damaged reputation that hurt cash flow and share value; think of it like a smoke alarm that can expose hidden fires inside a business.
Net sales $179.0 million 21.1% decrease from $227.0 million prior year
Net loss $57.3 million from $6.3 million net loss prior year
Adjusted EBITDA $(15.4) million from $0.7 million prior year

Exhibit 99.1
PetMeds® Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results

Delray Beach, Florida, June 2, 2026, PetMed Express, Inc. dba PetMeds and parent company of PetCareRx (NASDAQ: PETS) today announced its financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. 

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Highlights Compared to Prior Year Period
Net sales of $42.8 million compared to $50.8 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 15.6%, primarily driven by a decline in prescription medication sales.
Net loss of $4.1 million, or $(0.19) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $11.6 million, or $(0.56) per diluted share, for the prior year period. The decrease in the net loss can be attributed to lower general and administrative expenses, the absence of the prior-year trade name impairment charge, higher interest income, and a lower provision for income taxes, driven by the Company establishing a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset in the prior year period. These favorable factors were partially offset by lower gross profit resulting from decreased net sales.
Adjusted EBITDA1 was $(2.8) million compared to $(1.9) million in the prior year period.

Full Year Fiscal 2026 Financial Highlights Compared to Prior Year
Net sales of $179.0 million compared to $227.0 million in the prior year, a decrease of 21.1%, primarily driven by a decline in prescription medication sales.
Net loss of $57.3 million, or $(2.74) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $6.3 million, or $(0.30) per diluted share in the prior year. The increase to net loss was primarily driven by a goodwill impairment charge of $26.7 million recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, an increase in stock-based compensation expense, driven by the non-recurrence of an $8.7 million one-time non-cash stock compensation reversal associated with executive departures in the prior year, an increase in professional fees and executive severance costs, of which $4.5 million were one-time charges related to the whistleblower investigation, and lower gross profit resulting from decreased net sales. These factors were partially offset by a lower provision for income taxes, driven by the Company establishing a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $(15.4) million compared to $0.7 million for the prior year.

“We are pleased to report a modest sequential quarterly increase in fourth quarter net sales, demonstrating positive momentum as we close out the year,” said Leslie Campbell, Interim Chief Executive Officer and President. “Throughout 2026, we focused on stabilizing our core business and strengthening the foundation for future long term value creation. We completed strategic, operational and technology initiatives that collectively reduced our cost structure and represent an important foundation for our future. We will continue to focus on operational excellence, driving sustainable long-term results, and delivering value for shareholders. We intend to do this in part through improved customer retention by leveraging our operational improvements, and also by expanding our market footprint through B2B relationships utilizing our membership programs as well as our white-label pharmacy fulfillment services like our recently announced Master Services Agreement with Rural King.”

In December 2025, the Company received two unsolicited, non-binding preliminary proposals from two separate third parties to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company at prices ranging from $4.00 to $4.25 per share in cash, subject to customary conditions, including the satisfactory completion of due diligence and the negotiation and execution of a mutually acceptable definitive agreement. In response to the receipt of these proposals, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), consistent with its fiduciary duties and in consultation with its financial and legal advisors, carefully evaluated the two unsolicited proposals and directed its financial advisor to actively solicit interest in a potential sale transaction from other strategic and financial sponsors that the Company and its financial advisor believed might have an interest in, and the financial capacity to consummate, a potential acquisition of the Company at a price and on terms that would maximize value for the Company's stockholders. Following this process and after careful deliberation and consideration of the alternatives reasonably available to the Company, the Board determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders not to proceed with either of the publicly announced proposals, as a result of which the Company is continuing to operate as an independent, publicly traded company. However, the Board remains open to considering any inbound indications of interest with respect to a potential transaction that may be received in the future and will continue to act in accordance with its fiduciary duties to evaluate any such proposals should they arise.
1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information on non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measures.

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, including the acquisition costs related to PetCareRx, employee severance, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and interest expense relating to an estimated unremitted prior period state 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.



The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated:
