PART I
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. These statements relate to future events
or our future financial performance. We have attempted to
identify forward-looking statements by terminology including:
anticipate, believe, can,
continue, could, estimate,
expect, intend, may,
plan, potential, predict,
should, or will or the negative of these
terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only
predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors, including the risks outlined under
Business Risks contained in Part I of this
Annual Report that may cause our actual results, levels of
activity, performance or achievements to be materially different
from any future results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements.
Although we believe the expectations reflected in the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee
future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
Our expectations are as of the date this Annual Report on
Form 10-K is filed, and we do not intend to update any of
the forward-looking statements after the date this Annual Report
on Form 10-K is filed to conform these statements to actual
results, unless required by law.
Our fiscal year consists of the 52 or 53 weeks ending on
the Sunday nearest January 31 of the following year. Unless
otherwise specified, all references in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K to years are to fiscal years. The 2004, 2003 and
2002 fiscal years were 52-week years.
General
PETsMART was incorporated in Delaware on August 11, 1986,
and we opened our first two stores in March 1987. In fiscal
2004, we generated sales of $3.4 billion, making PETsMART
the leading provider of products, services and solutions for the
lifetime needs of pets in North America. We opened 83 net
new stores in fiscal 2004 and, as of January 30, 2005,
operated 726 retail stores in North America. Our stores
typically range in size from 19,000 to 27,000 square feet.
Our stores carry a broad and deep selection of high quality pet
supplies at everyday low prices. We offer more than 12,900
distinct items, including nationally recognized brand names, as
well as an extensive selection of private brands across a range
of product categories.
We complement our extensive product assortment with a selection
of value-added pet services, including grooming, pet training,
boarding and day camp. Virtually all our stores offer complete
pet training services and feature pet styling salons that
provide high-quality grooming services. Through our strategic
relationship with Banfield, The Pet Hospital, operating under
the registered trademark of Banfield, we make full-service
veterinary care available in approximately 430 of our stores.
We also reach customers through our direct marketing channels,
including PETsMART.com, one of the Internets most popular
pet e-commerce sites, as well as an e-commerce site dedicated to
equine products and two major branded catalogs.
We have identified a large group of pet owners we call pet
parents, who are passionately committed to their pets and
consider their pets family members. Our strategy is to attract
and keep these customers by becoming the preferred provider of
Total Lifetime
Caresm
for pets. As part of this strategy, we focus on driving
efficiencies in our stores, on our processes and our systems, on
growing our pet services business and on delighting our
customers by providing a superior store environment, a superior
shopping experience and superior service. We have improved our
distribution capabilities, implemented new management
information systems, focused on developing our pet services
business and worked to develop a culture of customer service. In
fiscal 2003, we completed the reformatting of our stores to
create a specialty store environment by organizing the store by
pet species, placing a greater emphasis on pet services and
eliminating most of the high steel shelving, resulting in a
brighter and more open store. Our store format, combined with
our enhanced distribution and information systems capabilities,
has reduced inventories, made the store easier to shop and
1
allowed our associates to spend more time serving customers. We
believe these strategic initiatives will continue to drive
enhanced comparable store sales growth, profitability and return
on investment.
The Pet Food and Pet Supply Industry
The pet product industry serves a large and growing market. The
American Pet Products Manufacturers Association or APPMA,
estimated the 2004 market at approximately $34.4 billion,
an increase of over 100% since 1994. Based on the 2005/2006
APPMA National Pet Owners Survey, more than 69 million
households in the United States own a pet. This translates to
approximately 91 million cats and 74 million dogs. The
APPMA also estimates 63% of United States households own a
pet and 45% of those households own more than one type of pet.
The pet product industry can be divided into the following
categories: food, supplies/medicines, veterinary care, pet
services (such as grooming or boarding) and purchases of pets.
The APPMA estimates dog food, cat food and treats are the
largest volume categories of pet-related products and in 2004
approximated $14.2 billion, or more than 40% of the market.
Many premium pet food brands, which offer higher levels of
nutrition than non-premium brands, are not currently sold
through supermarkets, warehouse clubs and mass merchandisers due
to manufacturers restrictions, but are sold primarily through
superstores, specialty pet stores, veterinarians and farm and
feed stores.
Pet supplies and medicine sales account for approximately 24%,
or $8.1 billion, of the market. These sales include dog and
cat toys, collars and leashes, cages and habitats, books,
vitamins and supplements, shampoos, flea and tick control and
aquatic supplies. Veterinary care, pet services and purchases of
pets represent approximately 23%, 7% and 5%, respectively, of
the market.
Competition
Based on total sales, we are the largest specialty retailer of
pet food, supplies and services in North America. The pet food
and pet supply retail industry is highly competitive and can be
categorized into five different segments:
|
|
|
|
|
Supermarkets, warehouse clubs and other mass and retail
merchandisers; |
|
|
|
Specialty pet supply chains and pet supply stores; |
|
|
|
Independent pet stores; |
|
|
|
Catalog retailers; and |
|
|
|
Internet retailers. |
We believe the principal competitive factors influencing our
business are product selection and quality, convenience of store
locations, store environment, customer service, price and
availability of pet services. Many of the products we offer are
not currently available in supermarkets, warehouse clubs or
other mass and retail merchandisers. We believe we compete
effectively within our various markets; however, some of our
mass and retail merchandise competitors are larger in terms of
overall sales volume and have access to greater capital.
We are currently the only major specialty pet retailer that
markets to customers through stores, catalogs and the internet,
and we believe this gives us a competitive advantage. In
addition, we believe our pet services business, which
supermarkets, warehouse clubs and other mass and retail
merchandisers cannot easily duplicate, is a competitive
advantage.
Our Strategy
Our strategy is to be the preferred provider for the lifetime
needs of pets. Our primary initiatives include:
Add stores in existing multi-store, new multi-store and new
single-store markets. Our expansion strategy includes
increasing our share in the top 60 existing multi-store markets,
penetrating new multi-store and single-store markets and
achieving operating efficiencies and economies of scale in
distribution, procurement,
2
marketing and store operations. During 2004, we opened
83 net new stores, and in 2005, we expect to open
approximately 100 net new stores primarily in multi-store
markets. Approximately 35% of those store openings are planned
in markets in the Northeast and California where we are
significantly under-represented. We believe there is a potential
for at least 1,400 PETsMART stores in North America.
Provide the right store format to meet the needs of our
customers. We completed the conversion of our store base to
our new specialty store format in fiscal 2003. We believe our
reformatted stores, combined with our other strategic
initiatives, contribute to higher comparable store sales growth,
profitability and return on investment. We continually evaluate
our store format to ensure we are meeting the needs and
expectations of our customers, while providing a return on
investment to our shareholders. In fiscal 2004, we completed the
roll out of an upgraded sign package to better serve the needs
of our customers.
Expand our pet services business. Based on sales, we are
the leading provider of pet services, which includes
professional grooming, pet training, boarding and day camp. Pet
services are an integral part of our strategy, and we are
focused on driving profitable growth in our services business.
We believe services differentiate us from our competitors, drive
traffic and repeat visits to our stores, provide cross-selling
opportunities, allow us to forge a strong relationship with our
customers, increase transaction size and enhance operating
margins. Through our strategic relationship with Banfield, The
Pet Hospital, operating under the registered trademark of
Banfield, we make full-service veterinary care available in
approximately 430 of our stores.
Pet services revenue, which includes grooming, pet training,
PETsHOTEL and Doggie Day Camp, grew by 24%, 25% and 29% in 2004,
2003 and 2002, respectively. We are confident in our ability to
continue to expand the pet services portion of our business.
Offer superior customer service. Our emphasis on the
customer is an on going cultural shift designed to provide our
customers with an unparalleled shopping experience every time
they visit our stores. Using a detailed curriculum and
role-playing techniques, we educate store associates to identify
customer needs and provide solutions. We measure their success
in every store, and a portion of the annual incentive program
for managers, from the store level to the executive team, is
linked to key customer service metrics. By providing pet parents
with expertise and solutions, we believe we are strengthening
our relationships with customers, building loyalty and enhancing
our leading market position.
Differentiate ourselves through effective brand
management. We are focused on developing and strengthening
our brand identity. We are creating tools to effectively
communicate our unique value proposition and vision of providing
Total Lifetime Care for pets, and to build enduring
relationships with our customers. We continue to roll out our
customer loyalty program, the PetPerks® savings card. As of
January 30, 2005, PetPerks was available in over 315 stores
and 22 markets, and by the third quarter of fiscal 2005, we
intend to make the PetPerks card available in every PETsMART
store capturing 70% to 80% of transactions and 75% to 85% of
sales. We will continue using a centralized customer database
that allows us to track and analyze customer shopping patterns.
We intend to use this information to customize direct marketing
and promotional materials and to more effectively communicate
with customers across all channels.
Our Stores
Our stores are generally located in sites co-anchored by strong
destination superstores and typically are in or near major
regional shopping centers. We are engaged in an ongoing
expansion program, opening new stores in both new and existing
markets and relocating existing stores. Store activity for
fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002 is as follows:

In its first full year, we expect a new store to generate
approximately $3.0 million in sales. We expect new stores
to generate comparable store sales growth in the range of 19% to
21% in year two, 11% to 13% in year three, 7% to 8% in year four
and 5% to 6% in year five. We believe there is a potential for a
total of at least 1,400 PETsMART stores in North America. We
expect to open approximately 100 net new stores in fiscal
2005.
Distribution
We currently employ a hybrid distribution system including full
truckload shipments to individual stores and the splitting of
full truckloads among several closely located stores and
distribution centers. Our forward distribution centers handle
products that require rapid replenishment. Our improved
distribution network, combined with improved and integrated
information systems, drives reduced store inventory, more
efficient use of store labor, improved in-stock positions and
better distribution center productivity. Our suppliers generally
ship our merchandise to one of our distribution centers or
forward distribution centers, which receive and allocate
merchandise to our stores. We contract the transportation of
merchandise from our distribution centers to stores through
third party vendors, and we do not own any trailers. We operate
the following distribution centers:

In September 2004, we entered into an agreement to lease
approximately 1.0 million square feet in Ottawa, Illinois
to be used as a distribution center. We anticipate opening this
distribution center in the Fall of 2005.
Information Systems
During fiscal 2004, we began deployment of an enhanced solution
for the telephony needs in our new stores and certain existing
stores. The new technology employs automatic call distribution
features and wireless handsets that allow customer calls to be
routed more efficiently to the proper area of the store. We
believe this will enhance the customer experience in our stores.
During fiscal 2004, we initiated a multi-year project to roll
out pricing label and inventory control systems at our stores
that will provide us with real time capabilities for inventory
updates and better price control. This project will be completed
in fiscal 2005.
In addition, we implemented a voice recognition and new
technology radio frequency solution for picking product in all
but one of our distribution centers. The implementation of the
remaining distribution center will occur in fiscal 2005. We
believe this solution will contribute to increased speed and
accuracy of this function and improve the capacity of our supply
chain.
Also during fiscal 2004, we completed the implementation of
price optimization software to manage base prices and PetPerks
prices. In addition, we completed the implementation of a new
system to support our internet business, which we believe
provides a solid foundation for future growth.

Merchandise
Merchandise, which represented approximately 93% of our revenues
in 2004 and 94% of our revenues in 2003 and 2002, generally
falls into three main categories:
|
|
|
|
|
Pet Food, Treats and Litter. We emphasize premium dog and
cat foods, many of which are not available in supermarkets,
warehouse clubs or mass merchandisers. We also offer quality
national brands traditionally found in supermarkets and pet
stores. The sale of pet food, treats and litter comprised
approximately 39%, 39% and 42% of our revenues in 2004, 2003 and
2002, respectively. |
|
|
|
Pet Supplies and Other Goods. Our broad assortment of pet
supplies includes collars, leashes, health and beauty aids,
shampoos, medication, toys, pet carriers, pet houses and
equestrian supplies. We also offer a complete line of supplies
for fish, birds, reptiles and small pets. These products include
aquariums and habitats, filters and birdcages. In certain
stores, we have an equine department that serves trade areas
with high rates of horse ownership. The sale of pet supplies and
other non-pet supply goods comprised approximately 51%, 51% and
49% of our revenues in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. |
|
|
|
Pets. Our stores feature fresh-water tropical fish and
domestically bred birds, reptiles and small pets. Pets comprised
approximately 3% of our revenues in 2004, 2003 and 2002. |
Pet Services
Pet services, which include grooming, pet training, PETsHOTEL
and Doggie Day Camp, represented approximately 7%, 6% and 6% of
our revenues in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. We offer
full-service grooming and pet training services in virtually all
our stores. We typically allocate an average of 779 square
feet per store for high-quality, full-service grooming,
including precision cuts, baths, toenail trimming and
toothbrushing. Our pet stylists are trained through a 15-week
program that teaches exceptional grooming skills using safe and
gentle techniques. Pet training services range from puppy
classes to advanced and private courses.
PETsHOTEL provides boarding for dogs and cats, 24-hour
supervision, an on-call veterinarian, temperature controlled
rooms and suites, daily specialty treats and play time as well
as day camp for dogs. During the third quarter of 2004, we
decided to begin a national rollout of PETsHOTEL at selected
locations in 2005. As of January 30, 2005, we operated 16
PETsHOTELs within our retail stores and one stand-alone
location. In October 2004, we launched our test of the Doggie
Day Camp concept, which is also available at our PETsHOTEL
locations, at a retail store in Pasadena, California. We will
continue to evaluate the results in fiscal 2005.
Total revenues from pet grooming, pet training, boarding and day
camp services grew approximately 24% from $193.5 million in
2003 to $240.7 million in 2004.
Veterinary Services
The availability of comprehensive veterinary care in our stores
further differentiates us and reflects our overall commitment to
pet care. Full-service veterinary hospitals in approximately 430
of our stores offer routine examinations and vaccinations,
dental care, a pharmacy and routine and complex surgical
procedures. Substantially all these hospitals are operated by
Medical Management International, Inc., or MMI, a third-party
operator of veterinary hospitals, operating under the registered
trade name of Banfield, The Pet Hospital. See Note 4 of the
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion
of our ownership interest in MMI Holdings.
5
PETsMART Charities and Adoptions
Through PETsMART Charities, Inc., an independent 501(c)(3)
organization, we support the activities of animal welfare
organizations in North America. PETsMART Charities creates and
supports programs that intend to help find a lifelong loving
home for every pet, by:
|
|
|
|
|
Raising awareness of companion animal welfare issues; |
|
|
|
Funding programs to further individual animal welfare
organizations missions; and |
|
|
|
Facilitating adoptions through in-store programs, kiosks and pet
transport programs. |
Since 1994, PETsMART Charities has raised and donated more than
$35 million to animal welfare programs and, through our
in-store adoption programs, has saved the lives of more than
2 million pets.
Government Regulation
We are subject to various federal, state, provincial and local
laws and regulations governing, among other things: our
relationships with employees, including minimum wage
requirements, overtime, working conditions and citizenship
requirements; veterinary practices, or the operation of
veterinary hospitals in retail stores, that may impact our
ability to operate veterinary hospitals in certain facilities;
the transportation, handling and sale of small pets;
environmental regulations with respect to generation, handling,
storage, transportation and disposal of waste and biohazardous
materials; the distribution, import/export and sale of products;
the handling, security, protection and use of customer
information; and the licensing and certification of services.
While we seek to structure our operations to comply with all
federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations of
each jurisdiction in which we operate, there can be no
assurances that, given varying and uncertain interpretations of
these laws and regulations and the fact that the laws and
regulations are enforced by the courts and by regulatory
authorities with broad discretion, we would be found to be in
compliance in all jurisdictions. We also could be subject to
costs, including fines, penalties or sanctions and third party
claims as a result of violations of, or liabilities under, these
laws and regulations.
Intellectual Property
We have several service marks and trademarks registered with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office (or USPTO), including
PETsMART®, PETsMART.com®, PETsMART PETsHOTEL®,
Where Pets Are Family® and All You Need For The Life Of
Your Pet®, as well as many others. We also own several
service mark and trademark applications that are pending with
the USPTO and anticipate filing additional applications in the
future. We also own numerous registered service marks,
trademarks and pending applications in other countries,
including Canada, as well as several trade names, domain names
and copyrights for use in our business. We regard our
intellectual property as having significant value and as an
important component in our merchandising and marketing
strategies.
Employees
As of January 30, 2005, we employed approximately 30,300
associates, approximately 15,100 of whom were employed full
time. We are not subject to any collective bargaining agreements
and have not experienced any work stoppages. We consider our
relationship with our associates to be good. Increases in the
federal minimum wage in recent years have not had a material
effect on our business.
Financial Information by Business Segment and Geographic
Data
As of February 2, 2004, we had three operating segments;
PETsMART North America, which included all retail stores;
PETsMART Direct, which included our equine catalog and equine
Internet operations; and PETsMART.com, which included our pet
catalog and pet Internet operations. As of January 30,
2005, we had two operating segments as a result of the
integration of PETsMART Direct and PETsMART.com during the first
quarter of fiscal 2004. We evaluated our segment reporting
requirements under SFAS No. 131, Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,
and determined that the reorganized
6
PETsMART Direct operating segment does not meet the quantitative
thresholds for disclosure as a reportable operating segment.
Net sales in the United States were approximately
$3,275.8 million, $2,917.3 million and
$2,632.5 million for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Net
sales, denominated in US dollars, in Canada were approximately
$87.7 million, $75.7 million and $62.7 million
for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Business Risks
In the normal course of business, our financial position is
routinely subjected to a variety of risks, including market
risks associated with store expansion, investments in
information systems, international expansion, vendor
reliability, competitive forces and government regulatory
actions. You should carefully consider the risks and
uncertainties described below in connection with those also
discussed in Our Stores, Distribution, Information Systems,
Competition and Government Regulation sections of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K. Our actual results could differ
materially from projected results due to some or all of the
factors discussed below.
|
|
|
If we are unable to increase sales at our existing stores
or successfully open new stores, our results of operations could
be harmed. |
Our continued revenue growth depends to a degree on our ability
to increase sales at our stores. There can be no assurance that
our stores will meet forecasted levels of sales and
profitability.
In addition, we expect to open approximately 100 net new
stores in 2005. Our ability to open additional stores is
dependent on various factors including:
|
|
|
|
|
Identifying store sites that offer attractive returns on our
investment; |
|
|
|
Competition for those sites; |
|
|
|
Successfully negotiating with landlords and obtaining any
necessary governmental, regulatory or private approval; |
|
|
|
Timely construction of stores; and |
|
|
|
Our ability to attract and retain qualified store personnel. |
To the extent we are unable to accomplish any of the above, our
ability to open new stores may be harmed. In addition, there can
be no assurance that we will be able to operate our new stores
profitably.
7
New stores may erode sales at existing stores and
comparable store sales growth may decrease as stores grow
older.
We currently operate stores in most of the major market areas of
the United States and Canada. Our plans for 2005 include opening
100 net new stores, primarily in existing multi-store
markets. Approximately 35% of those store openings are planned
in markets in the Northeast and California where we are
significantly under-represented. It has been our experience that
opening new stores may attract some customers away from other
stores already operated by us in those markets and diminish
their sales. Our comparable store sales increases were 6.3% and
7.0% for fiscal years 2004 and 2003, respectively. As a result
of new store openings in existing markets, and because older
stores will represent an increasing proportion of our store base
over time, our comparable store sales increases may be lower or
sales could decrease in future periods.
Our operating margins at new stores may be lower than
those of existing stores.
Preopening expenses and lower sales volumes associated with
newly opened stores can impact operating margins. In addition,
we expect certain operating costs, particularly those related to
occupancy, to be higher in new stores than in the past in some
newly entered geographic regions. As a result of our increasing
number of net new stores and the impact of these rising costs,
our total store contribution and operating margins may be lower
in future periods than they have been in the past.
A disruption, malfunction, or increased costs in the
operation or expansion of our distribution centers or our supply
chain would impact our ability to deliver merchandise to our
stores or increase our expenses, which could harm our sales and
results of operations.
Our suppliers generally ship our merchandise to one of our
distribution centers, which receive and allocate merchandise to
our stores. Any interruption or malfunction in our distribution
operations, including, but not limited to, the loss of a key
vendor that provides transportation of merchandise from our
distribution centers to stores, could harm our sales and the
results of our operations. We have two fish distribution centers
that are operated by a third-party vendor, and an interruption
or malfunction to their business could harm our sales and
results of operations. In such an event, there can be no
assurance that we could contract with another third party to
operate the fish distribution centers on favorable terms, if at
all, or that we could successfully operate the fish distribution
centers ourselves. In addition, if we are unable to successfully
expand our distribution centers, our sales or results of
operations could be harmed.
If our information systems fail to perform as designed,
our business could be harmed.
The efficient operation of our business is dependent on our
information systems. In particular, we rely on our information
systems to effectively manage our sales, warehousing,
distribution, merchandise planning and replenishment functions
and to maintain our in-stock positions. We possess offsite
recovery capabilities for our information systems. The failure
of our information systems to perform as designed could disrupt
our business and harm our sales and profitability.
We continue to invest in our information systems. There can be
no assurance that the costs of investments in our information
systems will not exceed estimates or that they will be as
beneficial as predicted. If we are unable to realize the
benefits of improved systems, our results of operations could be
harmed.
A decline in consumers discretionary spending could
reduce our sales and harm our business.
Our sales depend on consumer spending, which is influenced by
factors beyond our control, including general economic
conditions, the availability of discretionary income, weather,
consumer confidence and unemployment levels. We may experience
declines in sales during economic downturns. Any material
decline in the amount of discretionary spending could reduce our
sales and harm our business.
8
Our results may fluctuate due to seasonal changes
associated with the pet food and pet supply retailing industry
and the timing of expenses, new store openings and store
closures.
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuation. We typically
realize a higher portion of our net sales and operating profit
during the fourth fiscal quarter. As a result of this
seasonality, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of
our operating results are not necessarily meaningful and that
these comparisons cannot be relied upon as indicators of future
performance. Controllable expenses, such as advertising, could
fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter within a fiscal year. Sales of
certain products and services designed to address pet health
needs are seasonal. Because our stores typically draw customers
from a large trade area, sales may also be impacted by adverse
weather or travel conditions, which are more prevalent during
certain seasons of the year. Finally, as a result of our
expansion plans, the timing of new store openings and related
preopening expenses, the amount of revenue contributed by new
and existing stores, and the timing and estimated obligations of
store closures, our quarterly results of operations may
fluctuate.
The pet food and pet supply retail industry is highly
competitive, and continued competitive forces may reduce our
sales and profitability.
The pet food and pet supply retail industry is highly
competitive. We compete with supermarkets, warehouse clubs and
mass and other retail merchandisers, many of which are larger
and have significantly greater resources than we have. We also
compete with a number of pet supply warehouse or specialty
stores, smaller pet store chains, catalog retailers, internet
retailers and pet stores. The industry has become increasingly
competitive due to the entrance of other specialty retailers
into the pet food and pet supply market, some of which have
developed store formats similar to ours, and due to the
expansion of pet-related product offerings by certain
supermarkets, warehouse clubs and mass and other retail
merchandisers. There can be no assurance we will not face
greater competition from these or other retailers in the future.
In particular, if any of our major competitors seek to gain or
retain market share by reducing prices, we would likely reduce
our prices in order to remain competitive, which may result in a
decrease in our sales and profitability and require a change in
our operating strategies.
The loss of any of our key vendors, a decision by our
vendors to make their products available in supermarkets or
through warehouse clubs and mass merchandisers, or the inability
of our vendors to provide products in a timely or cost-effective
manner, could harm our business.
We have no long-term supply commitments from our vendors. We buy
from several hundred vendors worldwide and, together, our two
largest vendors accounted for approximately 15.2% of our total
sales for fiscal 2004. Sales of premium pet food for dogs and
cats comprise a significant portion of our revenues. Currently,
most major vendors of premium pet foods do not permit their
products to be sold in supermarkets, warehouse clubs or through
other mass merchandisers. If any premium pet food or pet supply
vendors were to make their products available in supermarkets or
through warehouse clubs and mass merchandisers, our business
could be harmed. In addition, if the grocery brands currently
available to such retailers were to gain market share at the
expense of the premium brands sold only through specialty pet
food and pet supply outlets, our business could be harmed.
We purchase significant amounts of pet supplies from a number of
vendors with limited supply capabilities. There can be no
assurance that our current pet supply vendors will be able to
accommodate our anticipated needs or comply with existing or any
new regulatory requirements. In addition, we purchase
significant amounts of pet supplies from vendors outside of the
United States. There can be no assurance our overseas vendors
will be able to satisfy our requirements including, but not
limited to, timeliness of delivery, acceptable product quality,
packaging and labeling requirements. Any inability of our
existing vendors to provide products in a timely or
cost-effective manner could harm our business. While we believe
our vendor relationships are satisfactory, any vendor could
discontinue selling to us at any time.
9
We depend on key personnel and may not be able to retain
or replace these employees or recruit additional qualified
personnel, which could harm our business.
Our success is largely dependent on the efforts and abilities of
our senior executive group. The loss of the services of one or
more of our key executives could adversely impact our financial
performance and our ability to execute our strategies. In
addition, our future success will depend on our ability to
attract highly skilled store managers and qualified services
personnel such as pet trainers and groomers. There is a high
level of competition for these employees, and our ability to
operate our stores and expand these services depends on our
ability to attract and retain these personnel. In addition,
historically there has been a shortage of qualified
veterinarians. If Banfield cannot attract and retain a
sufficient number of veterinarians, Banfields ability to
provide veterinary services in our stores and increase the
number of stores in which Banfield provides veterinary services,
may be impacted.
|
|
|
Our international operations may result in additional
market risks, which may harm our business. |
We entered the Canadian market in 1996 and operated 25 stores in
Canada as of January 30, 2005. As these operations grow,
they may require greater management and financial resources.
International operations require the integration of personnel
with varying cultural and business backgrounds and an
understanding of the relevant differences in the legal and
regulatory environments. Our results may be increasingly
affected by the risks of our international activities, including:
|
|
|
|
|
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates; |
|
|
|
Changes in international staffing and employment issues; |
|
|
|
Tariff and other trade barriers; |
|
|
|
The burden of complying with foreign laws, including tax
laws; and |
|
|
|
Political and economic instability and developments. |
Our business may be harmed if the operation of veterinary
hospitals at our stores is limited or fails to continue.
We and MMI, the third party operator of Banfield, The Pet
Hospital, are subject to laws governing the operation of
veterinary hospitals. MMI Holdings, Inc., or MMIH, is the parent
company of MMI. Statutes and regulations in various states and
Canadian provinces regulating the ownership of veterinary
practices, or the operation of veterinary hospitals in retail
stores, may impact our ability and MMIs ability to operate
veterinary hospitals within our facilities. A determination that
we or MMI are in violation of any of these applicable statutes
and regulations could require us or MMI to restructure our
operations to comply or render us or MMI unable to operate
veterinary hospitals in a given location. We recorded
$13.1 million and $10.5 million from MMI during 2004
and 2003, respectively, as a reduction of the retail
stores occupancy costs. We record store occupancy costs as
a component of cost of sales in our consolidated financial
statements. If MMIH or MMI were to experience financial or other
operating difficulties that would force it to limit its
operations, or if MMIH were to cease operating the veterinary
hospitals in our stores, our business may be harmed, both
directly and due to a decrease in customer traffic. There can be
no assurance that we could contract with another third party to
operate the veterinary hospitals on favorable terms, if at all,
or that we could successfully operate the veterinary hospitals
ourselves. For a further discussion of our relationship with
MMI, please see Managements Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Related Party Transactions.
Our business would be harmed if we were unable to raise
any needed additional capital on acceptable terms.
We anticipate that our existing capital resources and cash flows
from operations will enable us to maintain our currently planned
operations for the foreseeable future. If, however, we are
unable to generate and maintain positive operating cash flows
and operating income in the future, we may need additional
10
funding. We may also choose to raise additional capital due to
market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe
that we have sufficient funds for our current or future
operating plans. Our current credit facility is secured by
substantially all of our personal property assets, our
subsidiaries and certain real property. This could limit our
ability to obtain, or obtain on favorable terms, additional
financing and may make additional debt financing outside our
credit facility more costly. If additional capital were needed,
an inability to raise capital on favorable terms would harm our
business and financial condition. In addition, to the extent
that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or
debt securities convertible into equity, the issuance of these
securities could result in dilution to our stockholders.
A determination that we are in violation of any
government regulations could require us to restructure our
operations to comply in a given government jurisdiction and
could harm our business.
We are subject to various federal, state, provincial and local
laws and regulations governing among other things: our
relationships with employees, including minimum wage
requirements, overtime, working conditions and citizenship
requirements; veterinary practices, or the operation of
veterinary hospitals in retail stores, that may impact our
ability to operate veterinary hospitals in certain facilities;
the transportation, handling and sale of small pets;
environmental regulations with respect to the generation,
handling, storage, transportation and disposal of waste and
biohazardous materials; the distribution, import/export and sale
of products; the handling, security, protection and use of
customer information; and the licensing and certification of
services.
While we seek to structure our operations to comply with all
federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations of
each jurisdiction in which we operate, there can be no
assurances that, given varying and uncertain interpretations of
these laws and regulations and the fact that the laws and
regulations are enforced by the courts and by regulatory
authorities with broad discretion, we would be found to be in
compliance in all jurisdictions. We also could be subject to
costs, including fines, penalties or sanctions and third party
claims as a result of violations of, or liabilities under, the
above referenced laws and regulations.
A determination by tax regulators on an issue may cause
our provision for income and other taxes to be inadequate and
may result in a material impact to our financial
position.
We operate in multiple tax jurisdictions and believe an adequate
provision for income and other taxes has been made. If, however,
a determination is made by tax regulators in these jurisdictions
that a position that we have taken on an issue is inappropriate,
this may result in a material impact to our financial position.
The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining our tax
returns for the 2002 tax year.
|
|
|
Our business exposes us to claims that could result in
adverse publicity, harm to our brand and a reduction in our
sales. |
We are occasionally subject to claims due to the injury or death
of a pet in our stores or while under our care in connection
with the pet services we provide. In addition, we sell certain
small pets including fish, birds, reptiles and small rodents in
our stores. Given the large number of small pets we sell, deaths
or injuries of these small pets sometimes occur while they are
within our care. As a result, we may be subject to claims that
we do not properly care for these small pets. We may also be
subject to claims resulting from the transfer of diseases from
pets in our stores to other animals, associates and customers.
In addition, from time to time, we have been subject to product
liability claims for some of the products we sell. Any negative
publicity or claims relating to any of the foregoing could harm
our reputation and business, as well as expose us to litigation
expenses and damages.
Pending legislation, weather, disease or other factors
could disrupt the supply of the small pets and products we sell,
which could harm our reputation and decrease sales.
There is generally a significant amount of legislation pending
at the federal, state, provincial and local levels regarding the
handling of pets. This legislation may impair our ability to
transport the small pets we sell in our stores. The small pets
we sell in our stores are susceptible to diseases that can
quickly decrease or destroy the supply of these pets. In
addition, our supply of products may be negatively impacted by
weather,
11
disease, contamination or trade barriers. Any disruption in the
supply of products to our stores, due to legislation, weather,
disease or any other factor, could harm our reputation and
decrease our sales.
|
|
|
Fluctuations in the stock market, as well as general
economic and market conditions, including but not limited to
fuel costs, may harm the market price of our common
stock. |
Over the last several years, the market price of our common
stock has been subject to significant fluctuations. The market
price of our common stock may continue to be subject to
significant fluctuations in response to operating results and
other factors including, but not limited to:
|
|
|
|
|
Announcements by analysts regarding their assessment of PETsMART
and our prospects; |
|
|
|
Announcements of our financial results, particularly if they
differ from investors expectations; |
|
|
|
General economic changes, including increased fuel costs; |
|
|
|
Actions taken by our competitors, including new product
introductions and pricing changes; |
|
|
|
Changes in the strategy and capability of our competitors; |
|
|
|
Our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions and
consolidations; |
|
|
|
The prospects of our industry; and |
|
|
|
Hostilities and acts of terrorism. |
In addition, the stock market in recent years has experienced
price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated or
disproportionate to the operating performance of companies.
These fluctuations, as well as general economic and market
conditions, including but not limited to fuel costs, may harm
the market price of our common stock.
|
|
|
We have implemented some anti-takeover provisions,
including a stockholder rights plan that may prevent or delay an
acquisition of us that may not be beneficial to our
stockholders. |
Our restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws include
provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change in
management or control that our stockholders may not believe is
in their best interests. These provisions include:
|
|
|
|
|
A classified board of directors consisting of three classes; |
|
|
|
The ability of our board of directors to issue, without
stockholder approval, up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock in one or more series with rights, obligations and
preferences determined by the board of directors; |
|
|
|
No right of stockholders to call special meetings of
stockholders; |
|
|
|
No right of stockholders to act by written consent; |
|
|
|
Certain advance notice procedures for nominating candidates for
election to the board of directors; and |
|
|
|
No right to cumulative voting. |
In addition, our restated certificate of incorporation requires
a
662/3%
vote of stockholders to:
|
|
|
|
|
alter or amend our bylaws; |
|
|
|
remove a director without cause; or |
|
|
|
alter, amend or repeal certain provisions of our restated
certificate of incorporation. |
In August 1997, our Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder
Rights Plan, commonly referred to as a poison pill, under which
one preferred share purchase right was distributed on
August 29, 1997, for each share of common stock held on
that date. We are also subject to the anti-takeover provisions
of Section 203 of the
12
Delaware General Corporation Law, and the application of
Section 203 could have the effect of delaying or preventing
an acquisition of PETsMART.

We lease substantially all of our stores, retail distribution
centers and corporate offices under non-cancellable leases. The
terms of the store leases, described below, generally range from
10 to 25 years and typically allow us to renew for three to
five additional five-year terms. Store leases, excluding renewal
options, expire at various dates through 2022. Certain leases
require payment of property taxes, utilities, common area
maintenance and insurance and, if annual sales at certain stores
exceed specified amounts, provide for additional rent. We have
paid minimal additional rent under these provisions.
Our corporate offices cover approximately 219,000 square
feet, and the leases expire beginning in 2009. Our distribution
centers and respective lease expirations are as follows:

Dividends. We believe our ability to generate cash allows
us to invest in the growth of the business and, at the same
time, distribute a quarterly dividend. Our credit facility
permits us to pay dividends, so long as we are not in default
and the payment of dividends would not result in default. In
fiscal 2004, the following dividends were declared by the Board
of Directors:

In April 2000, the Board of Directors approved a plan to
purchase our common stock. In March 2003, the Board of Directors
extended the term of the purchase of our common stock for an
additional three years through March 2006 and increased the
authorized amount of annual purchases to $35.0 million. In
September 2004, the Board of Directors approved a program
authorizing the purchase of up to $150.0 million of our
common stock through fiscal year 2005. This program replaces the
March 2003 program. During fiscal 2004, we purchased
2,680,778 shares of our common stock for approximately
$80.0 million, or an average price of $29.84 per
share, under the March 2003 and September 2004 programs. |

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations |
Except for the historical information contained herein, the
following discussion contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could
materially differ from those discussed here. Factors that could
cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not
limited to, those discussed in this section, as well as in the
sections entitled Compensation, Distribution, Information
Systems, Government Regulation and Business Risks included in
Item 1 Part I of this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
The accompanying Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations gives effect to
the restatement discussed in Note 2 to the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Overview
Based on our 2004 sales of $3.4 billion, we are the leading
provider of products, services and solutions for the lifetime
needs of pets in North America. As of January 30, 2005, we
operated 726 retail stores in North America, typically ranging
in size from 19,000 to 27,000 square feet. During fiscal
2004, we opened 83 net new stores, and we anticipate
opening approximately 100 net new stores in fiscal 2005.
Our stores carry a broad and deep selection of high quality pet
supplies at everyday low prices. We offer more than 12,900
distinct items, including nationally recognized brand names, as
well as an extensive selection of private brands across a range
of product categories. We continue to invest in education for
our approximately 30,300 associates as part of our on-going
cultural shift with an emphasis on customer service and
providing pet care solutions.
We complement our extensive product assortment with a wide
selection of value-added pet services, including grooming, pet
training, boarding and day camp. All our stores offer complete
pet training services, and virtually all our stores feature pet
styling salons that provide high-quality grooming services.
We make full-service veterinary care available in approximately
430 of our stores through our strategic relationship with
Banfield, The Pet Hospital, operating under the registered
trademark of Banfield. During the third quarter of 2004, we
decided to begin a national roll out of PETsHOTEL in 2005. As of
January 30, 2005, we operated 16 PETsHOTELs within our
retail stores and one stand-alone location. In October 2004, we
launched our test of the Doggie Day Camp concept, which is also
available at our PETsHOTEL locations, at a retail store in
Pasadena, California, and we will continue to evaluate the
results.
We also reach customers through our direct marketing channels,
including PETsMART.com, one of the Internets most popular
pet e-commerce sites, an e-commerce site dedicated to equine
products and two major branded catalogs.

Executive Summary
|
|
|
|
|
Diluted earnings per common share increased 24% to $1.14, on net
income of $171.2 million, for fiscal 2004 compared to
diluted earnings per common share of $0.92 on net income of
$135.4 million for fiscal 2003. The increase in earnings
for 2004 is due to a combination of revenue gains and gross
profit rate improvement, partially offset by an increase in
operating, general and administrative expenses and income taxes. |
|
|
|
Net sales increased 12.4% to $3.4 billion for 2004 compared
to $3.0 billion for 2003 due to the addition of 83 net
new stores and a comparable same store sales increase of 6.3%
for the year. Services sales also increased 24.4% over the prior
year amounts. |
|
|
|
Gross margins increased 78 basis points for fiscal 2004
compared to fiscal 2003 as we improved buying procedures and saw
results from our new price optimization software, which is
protecting and enhancing gross margins even as we pursue our
loyalty card program. Occupancy and inventory related costs were
also lower as a percentage of revenue in fiscal 2004 compared to
fiscal 2003. |
|
|
|
Operating, general and administrative expenses increased to
22.4% of net sales in 2004 compared to 22.1% of net sales in
2003 due primarily to higher insurance and repair and
maintenance costs, which were partially offset by lower
advertising, bonus and closed store expenses as a percentage of
sales. |
|
|
|
During fiscal 2004, we purchased 2,680,778 shares of our
common stock for approximately $80.0 million, or an average
price of $29.84 per share, and we declared cash dividends
totaling $0.12 per share. |
|
|
|
We expect to open 100 net new stores and 12 new PETsHOTELs
in fiscal 2005. We also anticipate same store sales growth of
five to six percent for 2005. |
|
|
|
Capital expenditures for 2004 were $143 million, and we
anticipate spending between $220 million and
$230 million for capital expenditures in fiscal 2005. |
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and
results of operations are based on our consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The preparation of these financial statements requires
us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an
on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates for inventory
valuation reserves, reserve for closed stores, insurance
liabilities and reserves and income taxes. We base our estimates
on historical experience and on various other assumptions we
believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of
which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Under different assumptions or conditions,
actual results may differ from these estimates. We believe the
following critical accounting policies reflect the more
significant judgments and estimates we use in preparing our
consolidated financial statements.
Inventory Valuation Reserves
We have established reserves for estimated inventory shrinkage
between physical inventories. Our stores perform physical
inventories once a year, and in between the physical
inventories, the stores perform cycle counts on certain
inventory items. Our distribution centers and forward
distribution centers perform cycle counts encompassing all
inventory items every quarter or perform an annual physical
inventory. Due to the holiday season, the majority of the stores
do not perform physical inventories during the last quarter of
the fiscal year, but continue to perform cycle counts on certain
inventory items. Therefore, as of the end of a reporting period,
there will be stores with certain inventory items that have not
been counted. For each reporting period presented, we estimate
the inventory shrinkage based on a two-year historical trend
analysis. We also have reserves for estimated obsolescence and
to reduce inventory to the lower of cost or market. Changes in
shrink results or market conditions could cause actual results
to vary from estimates used to establish the inventory reserves.
21
Reserve for Closed Stores
We continuously evaluate the performance of our retail stores
and periodically close those that are under-performing. The
closed stores are generally replaced by a new store in a nearby
location. We establish reserves for future occupancy payments on
closed stores in the period the store is closed, in accordance
with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
(SFAS 146). These costs are classified in
operating, general and administrative expenses in the
consolidated statement of operations. We calculate the costs for
future occupancy payments, net of expected sublease income,
associated with closed stores using the net present value
method, at a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate, over the
remaining life of the lease. Judgment is used to estimate the
underlying real estate market related to the expected sublease
income and timing of the sublease start date, and we can make no
assurances that additional charges for these stores will not be
required based on the changing real estate environment.
As of January 30, 2005 and February 1, 2004, we had 17
and 19 stores included in our closed store reserve, of which 12
and 12 were under sublease agreements, respectively. We have
assumed that as of January 30, 2005, two additional stores
will have sublease income in future periods, which represents a
$2.4 million reduction to the reserve. If these sublease
assumptions were extended by a year from the anticipated
commencement date of the assumed sublease term, the reserve
would increase by approximately $0.4 million. We closed
nine stores in fiscal 2004 and seven stores in fiscal 2003, of
which one store in fiscal 2003 closed as scheduled due to its
lease expiration. The closed store reserves are as follows (in
thousands):

Insurance Liabilities and Reserves
We maintain standard property and casualty insurance on all our
properties and leasehold interests, product liability insurance
that covers products and the sale of live pets, self-insured
health plans, employers professional liability and
workers compensation insurance. Property insurance covers
approximately $1.0 billion in buildings and contents,
including furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements and
inventory. Under our casualty and workers compensation
insurance policies through January 31, 2004, we retained
the initial risk of loss of $0.25 million for each policy
per occurrence. Effective February 1, 2004, we engaged a
new insurance provider. Under our casualty and workers
compensation insurance policies with the new provider, we retain
an initial risk of loss of $0.5 million for each policy per
occurrence on or subsequent to February 1, 2004. We
establish reserves for losses based on semi-annual independent
actuarial estimates of the amount of loss inherent in that
periods claims, including losses for which claims have
been incurred but not reported. Loss estimates rely on actuarial
observations of ultimate loss experience for similar historical
events, and changes in such assumptions could result in an
adjustment to the reserves. During the second quarter of 2004,
we recognized additional expense as a result of an actuarial
report that indicated a higher reserve requirement. We believe
the increase in the actuarial estimates was primarily due to our
insurance carrier being acquired resulting in an increase in the
rate at which claims are paid as well as the settlement amounts.
As of January 30, 2005 and February 1, 2004, we had
approximately $40.6 million and $27.9 million,
respectively, in reserves related to casualty, self-insured
health plans, employers professional liability and
workers compensation insurance policies.
22
Income Taxes
We establish deferred income tax assets and liabilities for
temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and
the income tax bases of our assets and liabilities at enacted
tax rates expected to be in effect when such assets or
liabilities are realized or settled. We record a valuation
allowance on the deferred income tax assets to reduce the total
to an amount management believes is more likely than not to be
realized. Valuation allowances at January 30, 2005 and
February 1, 2004 were principally to offset certain
deferred income tax assets for operating and capital loss
carryforwards.
We accrue for potential income tax contingencies when it is
probable that a liability to a taxing authority has been
incurred and the amount of the contingency can be reasonably
estimated, based upon managements view of the likely
outcomes of current and future audits. Our accrual for income
tax contingencies is adjusted for changes in circumstances and
additional uncertainties, such as amendments to existing tax
law, both legislated and concluded through the various
jurisdictions tax court systems. At January 30, 2005,
we had an accrual for income tax contingencies of approximately
$17.0 million. If the amounts ultimately settled with tax
authorities are greater than the accrued contingencies, we must
record additional income tax expense in the period in which the
assessment is determined. To the extent amounts are ultimately
settled for less than the accrued contingencies, or we determine
that a liability to a taxing authority is no longer probable,
the contingency is reversed as a reduction of income tax expense
in the period the determination is made.
In the second quarter of 2004, we completed an analysis of our
net operating loss carryovers related to our purchase of
PETsMART.com in fiscal year 2000, based on guidance issued from
the Internal Revenue Service. As a result, we expect to utilize
an additional $22.1 million of net operating losses
previously considered unavailable. We recorded a total tax
benefit of $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2004
related to the additional net operating loss utilization.
We operate in multiple tax jurisdictions and could be subject to
audit in any of these jurisdictions. These audits can involve
complex issues that may require an extended period of time to
resolve and may cover multiple years. We believe an adequate
provision for taxes has been made for all years subject to audit.

Fiscal 2004 Compared to Fiscal 2003
Net sales increased $370.3 million, or 12.4%, to
$3.4 billion for fiscal 2004, compared to sales of
$3.0 billion for fiscal 2003. The sales increase was due to
83 additional net new stores since February 1, 2004 and a
6.3% increase in comparable store sales for 2004. Services
sales, which is included in the net sales amount discussed
above, increased by 24.4%, or $47.2 million, to
$240.7 million.
Gross profit increased as a percentage of net sales to 30.8% for
fiscal 2004, from 30.0% for fiscal 2003. The increase primarily
reflected higher margins on product sales during fiscal 2004
compared with fiscal 2003 due to improved buying practices and
the results from our price optimization software, which is
protecting and enhancing gross margins even as we pursue our
loyalty card program. We also experienced lower inventory
shrinkage and other inventory related expenses as a percentage
of sales in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003. In addition,
occupancy costs recorded in cost of sales decreased as a
percentage of sales in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003.
These items were partially offset by higher freight costs as a
result of increased fuel prices.
|
|
|
Operating, General and Administrative Expenses |
Operating, general and administrative expenses increased as a
percentage of net sales to 22.4% for 2004, from 22.1% for 2003.
The increase was primarily due to increases in workers
compensation, general liability and medical insurance costs as
well as higher repairs and maintenance costs in our stores in
2004 compared to 2003. The higher insurance costs were primarily
due to increases in actuarial estimates for workers
compensation and general liability claims. In addition, we
recognized a $4.1 million expense in the second quarter of
fiscal 2004 primarily for the retirement of assets and
additional amortization related to store lighting replacements.
The increases were offset by lower advertising, bonus and closed
store expenses as a percentage of revenue in fiscal 2004
compared to fiscal 2003. We also recognized a $3.6 million
gain from a legal settlement in the fourth quarter of 2004.
Interest expense increased to $21.3 million for 2004, from
$19.3 million for fiscal 2003. The increase was primarily
due to an increase in capital lease obligations in 2004.
For fiscal 2004, the $93.2 million income tax expense
represents an effective rate of 35.2%. For 2003, the
$85.7 million income tax expense represents an effective
rate of 38.8%. The reduction in the effective tax rate from 2003
to 2004 is primarily due to an analysis, completed in the second
quarter of 2004, of our net operating loss carryovers related to
our purchase of PETsMART.com in fiscal 2000, based on guidance
issued from the Internal Revenue Service. As a result, we expect
to utilize an additional $22.1 million of net operating
losses previously considered unavailable. We recorded a total
tax benefit of $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2004,
related to the additional net operating loss utilization. In
addition, we recognized a $3.6 million legal settlement in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, which will allow us to use a
portion of our capital loss carryforwards. We reversed a
previously established valuation allowance, and as a result,
recorded a tax benefit of approximately $1.2 million.
Fiscal 2003 Compared to Fiscal 2002
Net sales increased $297.9 million, or 11.1%, to
$3.0 billion for 2003, from 2002 sales of
$2.7 billion. The increase was the result of 60 additional
net new stores and a 7.0% increase in comparable store sales.
Included in store sales, services sales increased by 25.4%, or
$39.2 million to $193.5 million. The increase in
services
24
revenue, which includes grooming, training and PETsHOTEL
operations, was due primarily to higher volume. As of
February 1, 2004, we operated 643 stores, compared with 583
stores as of February 2, 2003.
Gross profit increased as a percentage of net sales to 30.0% for
2003, from 29.1% for 2002. The increase primarily reflected
lower product cost of goods sold and increased sales of higher
margin products during 2003, compared with 2002. We also
continued to leverage expenses in 2003 through lower inventory
shrinkage and occupancy costs as a percentage of sales, compared
with 2002.
|
|
|
Operating, General and Administrative Expenses |
Operating, general and administrative expenses decreased as a
percentage of net sales to 22.1% for 2003, from 22.9% for 2002.
In 2002, we recorded $11.4 million related to a litigation
settlement and costs, which represented 0.4% of sales. In 2003,
we leveraged payroll and benefits costs as well as decreased our
bonus expenses compared to 2002. Reductions in equipment rent,
and operating expenses in the direct marketing channels also
drove the decrease. This reduction was partially offset by
higher expenses associated with closed stores and the payment of
a residual value guarantee on two land parcels. We closed seven
stores in fiscal 2003, compared to four stores in fiscal 2002.
The higher expense in 2003 was driven by a timing difference due
to the application of SFAS 146, Accounting for
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. The
plan to close two of the four stores in 2002, and the related
expense recognition, took place at the end of fiscal 2002. In
2002, we adopted SFAS 146, which requires us to record
closed store expense in the period that the store is actually
closed.
Interest expense decreased to $19.3 million for 2003, from
$20.6 million for 2002. The decrease was primarily due to
the retirement and conversion of our
63/4% Subordinated
Convertible Notes in the first quarter of 2002. For 2003,
interest expense also included lower capital lease interest due
to the expiration of certain capital lease obligations.
For fiscal 2003, the $85.7 million income tax expense
represents an effective rate of 38.8%. For 2002, the
$62.6 million income tax expense represents an effective
rate of 42.2%. The reduction in the effective tax rate from
fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2003 is primarily due to certain
non-deductible losses recognized in 2002 associated with the
settlement of litigation.

We manage our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
in order to fund operating requirements. Cash and cash
equivalents decreased $5.5 million to $87.0 million in
2004. Short-term investments increased $78.3 million to
$313.6 million during the same period. In February 2005, we
determined that investments in Auction Rate Securities, or ARS,
should be classified as short-term investments. Previously, such
investments had been classified as cash and cash equivalents.
ARS generally have long-term maturities; however, these
investments have characteristics similar to short-term
investments because at predetermined
25
intervals, generally every 28 to 49 days, there is a new
auction process. We recorded investments in ARS as of
January 30, 2005 as short-term investments and reclassified
ARS as of February 1, 2004 that were previously included in
cash and cash equivalents to short-term investments.
Cash provided by operations increased $36.8 million to
$282.6 million in 2004, compared with $245.8 million
in 2003. Cash provided by operating activities was generated
primarily by net income of $171.2 million and non-cash
depreciation and amortization expenses of $112.6 million.
Cash is used in operating activities primarily to fund growth in
inventory and other assets, net of accounts payable and other
accrued liabilities. Inventory increased to $337.3 million
at January 30, 2005 compared to $309.1 million at
February 1, 2004 primarily due to the 83 net new
stores in fiscal 2004.
Our primary long-term capital requirements consist of opening
new stores, reformatting existing stores, expenditures
associated with equipment and computer software in support of
our system initiatives, PETsHOTEL construction costs and other
expenditures to support our growth plans and initiatives. For
2004, we incurred $143.0 million in capital expenditures,
compared with $171.9 million for 2003. The 2004
expenditures were primarily related to new stores, remodel
projects and information systems projects. In addition, we
purchased equipment during fiscal 2004 that was previously
leased.
Net cash used in financing activities for 2004 was
$69.0 million, which is comprised primarily of
$80.0 million for the purchase of treasury stock and
$15.9 million for dividends, offset by $40.0 million
in proceeds from the exercises of stock options and from our
employee stock purchase plan. Net cash used in financing
activities for 2003 was $0.2 million.

Common Stock Purchase Program |
In April 2000, the Board of Directors approved a plan to
purchase our common stock. In March 2003, the Board of Directors
extended the term of the purchase of our common stock for an
additional three years through March 2006 and increased the
authorized amount of annual purchases to $35.0 million. In
September 2004, the Board of Directors approved a program
authorizing the purchase of up to $150.0 million of our
common stock through fiscal year 2005. This program replaces the
March 2003 program. During fiscal 2004, we purchased
2,680,778 shares of our common stock for approximately
$80.0 million, or an average price of $29.84 per
share, under the March 2003 and September 2004 programs. At
January 30, 2005, approximately $105.0 million
remained available for purchase under these programs.
We believe our ability to generate cash allows us to invest in
the growth of the business and, at the same time, distribute a
quarterly dividend. Our credit facility permits us to pay
dividends, so long as we are not in default and the payment of
dividends would not result in default. During 2004, we were not
in default of our credit facility. In fiscal 2004, the following
dividends were declared by the Board of Directors:

On March 22, 2005, the Board of Directors declared a
quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share, payable on
May 20, 2005 to stockholders of record on April 29,
2005.
In July 2002, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3
for a public offering of 14,500,000 shares of our common
stock, plus an over-allotment option of 2,175,000 shares.
Of these shares, 13,182,584 were offered
26
by entities affiliated with Carrefour SA, and we offered
1,317,416 shares, plus the shares in the over-allotment
option.
On August 5, 2002, we completed the sale of the
1,317,416 shares of common stock for $13.40 per share,
resulting in proceeds, net of underwriting fees, of
approximately $16.9 million. On August 12, 2002, the
underwriters exercised the over-allotment option and purchased
2,175,000 additional shares for $13.40 per share, resulting
in proceeds, net of underwriting fees, of approximately
$27.8 million. We incurred costs associated with the
offering of approximately $0.8 million.

Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure
Requirements |
Substantially all our stores are leased facilities. We opened
83 net new stores in fiscal 2004. Generally, each new store
requires capital expenditures of approximately $0.9 million
for fixtures, equipment and leasehold improvements,
approximately $0.3 million for inventory and approximately
$0.1 million for preopening costs. We expect capital
spending to be approximately $220 million to
$230 million for 2005, based on our current plan to open
100 net new stores and twelve new PETsHOTELs, to fixture
and equip a new warehouse in Illinois, to continue our
investment in the development of our information systems and to
add to our services capacity with the expansion of certain
grooming salons.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with
cash flows from operations, borrowing capacity under our bank
credit facility and available lease financing, will provide
adequate funds for our foreseeable working capital needs,
planned capital expenditures and debt service obligations. Our
ability to fund our operations, make planned capital
expenditures, scheduled debt payments and refinance indebtedness
depends on our future operating performance and cash flow, which
are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial,
business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Related Party Transactions |
We have an investment in MMI Holdings, Inc., or MMIH, a provider
of veterinary and other pet-related services. MMIH, through a
wholly owned subsidiary, Medical Management International, Inc.,
or MMI, operates full-service veterinary hospitals and wellness
hospitals inside approximately 430 of our stores, under the
registered trademark of Banfield, The Pet Hospital. Philip L.
Francis, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Robert F.
Moran, our President and Chief Operating Officer, are members of
the board of directors of MMIH. Our investment consists of
common and convertible preferred stock. During the second
quarter of 2004, we purchased an additional $0.8 million of
MMIH capital stock from certain MMIH stockholders, and as of
January 30, 2005, we owned approximately 16.5% of the
voting stock and approximately 36.1% of the combined voting and
non-voting stock of MMIH. We charge MMI licensing fees for the
space used by the veterinary hospitals, and we treat this income
as a reduction of the retail stores occupancy costs. We
record occupancy costs as a component of cost of sales in our
consolidated statements of operations. Licensing fees are
determined by fixed costs per square foot, adjusted for the
number of days the hospitals are open and sales volumes
achieved. We recognized licensing fees of approximately
$13.1 million, $10.5 million and $8.3 million
during fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002 respectively. Licensing fees
receivable from MMI totaled $5.4 million and
$4.4 million at January 30, 2005 and February 1,
2004, respectively, and were included in receivables in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
At our option, on November 21, 2003, we amended our credit
facility to reduce the available commitment to
$125.0 million, extend the maturity by two years to
April 30, 2008, and amended certain covenants. The credit
facility permits us to pay dividends, so long as we are not in
default or the payment of dividends would not result in default.
The credit facility is secured by substantially all our personal
property assets and certain real property. We pay a fee to the
lenders each quarter at an annual rate of 0.25% of the unused
amount of the credit facility. As of January 30, 2005, we
had no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility;
however, we issue letters of credit for guarantees provided for
insurance programs, capital lease agreements and utilities.

|
Seasonality and Inflation |
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. We typically
realize a higher portion of our net sales and operating profit
during the fourth fiscal quarter. As a result of this
seasonality, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of
our operating results are not necessarily meaningful, and that
these comparisons cannot be relied upon as indicators of future
performance. Controllable expenses, such as advertising, could
28
fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter in a fiscal year. Sales of
certain products and services designed to address pet health
needs are seasonal. Because our stores typically draw customers
from a large trade area, sales also may be impacted by adverse
weather or travel conditions, which are more prevalent during
certain seasons of the year. Finally, as a result of our
expansion plans, the timing of new store openings and related
preopening expenses, the amount of revenue contributed by new
and existing stores, and the timing and estimated obligations of
store closures, our quarterly results of operations may
fluctuate.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
The FASB issued FASB Interpretation, or FIN, 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,
an interpretation of Accounting Research
Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial
Statements, on January 17, 2003. FIN 46
requires that an entity holding a majority of the variable
interest of a variable interest entity must
consolidate the operations of that variable interest entity of
which it is the primary beneficiary. In 2003, we purchased two
land parcels from a structured lease financing facility.
Subsequent to this purchase and also in 2003, the structured
lease financing facility was liquidated. FIN 46 was
effective for us on August 4, 2003. With the liquidation of
the special purpose entity during 2003, the adoption of
FIN 46 did not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements.
In March 2003, the FASBs Emerging Issues Task Force, or
EITF, reached a consensus on Issue 02-16,
Accounting by a Customer (including a Reseller) for
Cash Consideration Received from a Vendor. The
transition provisions apply prospectively to arrangements with
vendors entered into or modified after December 31, 2002,
do not allow for prior period reclassification, and require
companies to account for all amounts received from vendors as a
reduction of the cost of the products purchased unless certain
criteria are met that allow companies to account for vendor
funding as a reduction of related operating, general and
administrative expenses. During 2004, 2003 and 2002, we recorded
approximately $10.4 million, $10.9 million and
$11.0 million, respectively, for cooperative promotional
income. We adopted the provisions of EITF 02-16 for vendor
contracts entered into or modified subsequent to
December 31, 2002, and the adoption did not have a material
impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2003, the FASBs Emerging Issues Task Force
reached a consensus on Issue 03-10, Application of
Issue No. 02-16 by Resellers to Sales Incentives Offered to
Consumers by Manufacturers. Under EITF 03-10, any
cash consideration a company receives from a vendor as part of a
certain exclusive sales incentive arrangement must be recorded
in the income statement as an offset to cost of sales, and
cannot be recorded as revenue, unless the company meets certain
criteria. EITF 03-10 is effective for new arrangements and
modifications to existing arrangements entered into in fiscal
periods beginning after November 25, 2003. EITF 03-10
permits reclassification of prior periods for comparison
purposes. We adopted EITF 03-10 on February 2, 2004,
which resulted in a decrease in sales and a corresponding
decrease in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of
operations of $3.3 million and $2.9 million in fiscal
2004 and 2003, respectively.
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement
No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123(R)), which is a revision of FASB
Statement No. 123 (SFAS 123),
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and
supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, and its related
implementation guidance. SFAS 123(R) requires all
share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee
stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements
based on their grant-date fair values. SFAS 123(R) is
effective for public companies at the beginning of the first
interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2005. We
intend to adopt SFAS 123(R) beginning in our first quarter
of fiscal 2005 ending May 1, 2005 and intend to utilize the
modified retrospective transition method, which allows the
restatement of prior periods by recognizing compensation cost in
the amounts previously reported in the pro forma footnote
disclosures under the provisions of SFAS 123.
In July 2004, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue 02-14,
Whether the Equity Method of Accounting Applies When an
Investor Does Not Have an Investment in Voting Stock of an
Investee But Exercises Significant Influence Through Other
Means (EITF 02-14). EITF 02-14
concludes that the equity method of accounting is applicable to
investments in common stock and in-substance common stock when
the investor
29
has the ability to exercise significant influence over the
operating and financial policies of an investee. EITF 02-14
was applicable in the first reporting period beginning after
September 14, 2004. We adopted EITF 02-14 during the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, and the adoption had no impact on
our financial position or results of operations.
Consistent with Section 10A(i)(2) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as added by Section 202 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, PETsMART is responsible for listing
the non-audit services approved in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2004 by the PETsMART Audit Committee to be performed by
Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered
public accountants. Non-audit services are defined in the law as
services other than those provided in connection with an audit
or a review of the financial statements of PETsMART. There were
no non-audit services approved by the Audit Committee in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.

Item 7a. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risks |
We are subject to certain market risks arising from transactions
in the normal course of our business. Such risk is principally
associated with interest rate and foreign exchange fluctuations,
as well as changes in our credit standing. In addition, a market
risk exists associated with fuel prices.
Interest Rate Risk
We have the ability to use a revolving line of credit and
short-term bank borrowings to support seasonal working capital
needs and to finance capital requirements of the business. There
were no borrowings during fiscal 2004 or 2003. Borrowings under
the revolving line of credit bear interest at the banks
prime rate plus 0% to 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.25% to 1.75%, at our
option.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our Canadian subsidiary operates 25 stores and uses the Canadian
dollar as the functional currency and the United States dollar
as the reporting currency. We have certain exposures to foreign
currency risk. However, we believe that such exposure does not
present a significant risk due to a relatively limited number of
transactions and accounts denominated in foreign currency.
Approximately $87.7 million, or 2.6%, of our revenues for
fiscal 2004 were denominated in the Canadian dollar. Transaction
gains and losses on United States dollar denominated
transactions are recorded within operating, general and
administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of
operations. During the second quarter of 2004, we implemented a
new structure in our Canadian subsidiary that we believe will
allow us to minimize the impact of future transaction gains and
losses. We had net exchange gains approximating
$2.4 million in fiscal 2004.

Controls and Procedures |
PETsMART maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are
designed to provide reasonable assurance that information
required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act),
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that
such information is accumulated and communicated to management,
including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and
Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
30
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, our management conducted an evaluation
(under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and
our CFO) as of the end of the period covered by this report, of
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). In
performing this evaluation, management reviewed our lease
accounting practices. As a result of this review, management
concluded that our previously established lease accounting
practices were not appropriate under accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP).
Accordingly, as described in Note 2 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, management concluded and recommended and
our audit committee approved that restatements of financial
statements for prior fiscal years and periods would be required
to correct the lease accounting errors. Based on their
evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, solely due to our
restatement due to lease accounting practices as described
above, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective
as of January 30, 2005.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting, as such term is
defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal
control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to
our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation
and fair presentation of published financial statements.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can
provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the
objectives of the control system are met. Because of the
inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of
controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues,
if any, within a company have been detected. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject
to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
We have assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of January 30, 2005. Our assessment
was based on criteria set forth in Internal Control
Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In performing this assessment, we reviewed our lease accounting
practices. As a result of this review, we concluded that our
controls over the selection, monitoring and review of
assumptions and factors affecting lease accounting practices
were ineffective as of January 30, 2005 due to errors in
our interpretation of GAAP. On March 1, 2005, we determined
that it was appropriate to restate certain of our previously
issued financial statements to reflect the correction of these
errors in our lease accounting. We evaluated the impact of this
restatement on our assessment of internal control over financial
reporting and concluded that the control deficiencies that
resulted in incorrect lease accounting represented a material
weakness as of January 30, 2005.
A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting
is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Boards (PCAOB)
Auditing Standard No. 2), or combination of control
deficiencies, that results in there being more than a remote
likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim
financial statements will not be prevented or detected. PCAOB
Auditing Standard No. 2 identifies a number of
circumstances that, because of their likely significant negative
effect on internal control over financial reporting, are to be
regarded as at least significant deficiencies, as well as strong
indicators of a material weakness, including the restatement of
previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction
of a misstatement. As a result of the material weakness related
to our lease accounting, we have concluded that, as of
January 30, 2005, our internal control over financial
reporting was not effective based on the criteria set forth in
the COSO framework. We identified no other material weaknesses
in performing our assessment and reaching our conclusion.
Our independent registered public accounting firm,
Deloitte & Touche LLP, has issued an audit report on
our assessment of PETsMARTs internal control over
financial reporting, which is included herein.
31
|
|
|
Remediation Steps to Address Material Weakness |
To remediate the material weakness in PETsMARTs internal
control over financial reporting, we have changed our policies
and procedures in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 to conform to
GAAP, and we are implementing additional review procedures over
the selection and monitoring of appropriate assumptions and
factors affecting lease accounting practices. No other material
weaknesses were identified as a result of our assessment.
|
|
|
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting |
There have been no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation
required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, that occurred during PETsMARTs last
fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal controls over
financial reporting. As noted above, during the first quarter of
fiscal 2005 we are implementing certain remediation steps to
address the identified material weakness which has materially
affected our internal control over financial reporting.

Independent Registered Public Accountant Firm Report on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
PETsMART, Inc.
Phoenix, Arizona
We have audited managements assessment, included in the
accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting, that PETsMART, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
Company) did not maintain effective internal control
over financial reporting as of January 30, 2005, because of
the effect of the material weakness identified in
managements assessment based on criteria established in
Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. The Companys management is responsible for
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting
and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control
over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on managements assessment and an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, evaluating
managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinions.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed by, or under the supervision of, the
companys principal executive and principal financial
officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected
by the companys board of directors, management, and other
personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys
internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
32
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over
financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or
improper management override of controls, material misstatements
due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a
timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the
effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting
to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination
of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote
likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim
financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The
following material weakness has been identified and included in
managements assessment: the Company failed to design and
implement appropriate controls related to the accounting for
leases in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. In particular, the Company has not designed and
implemented controls to adequately analyze the terms of new
leases to properly account for the following items:
|
|
|
|
|
Rent holiday periods The Company had previously
recognized rent holiday periods on a straight-line basis over
the lease term commencing with the store opening date rather
than the date the Company has the right to control the use of
the property. |
|
|
|
Rent increases The Company had not previously
included certain scheduled rent increases in its calculation of
straight-line rent. |
|
|
|
Leasehold improvements amortization Certain
leasehold improvements were previously being amortized over
periods in excess of the lease term. |
|
|
|
Tenant improvement allowances Tenant improvement
allowances were recorded as reductions to leasehold improvements
and capital expenditures in investing activities on the
consolidated statements of cash flows rather than as deferred
rent liabilities and as a component of operating activities on
the consolidated statements of cash flows. |
These adjustments resulted in the restatement of the
Companys consolidated financial statements for the fiscal
years ended February 1, 2004 and February 2, 2003.
Based on the significance of the adjustments identified, there
is a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of
the interim and annual financial statements would not have been
prevented or detected.
This material weakness was considered in determining the nature,
timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the
consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule as of and for the year ended January 30, 2005, of
the Company and this report does not affect our reports on such
financial statements and financial statement schedule.
In our opinion, managements assessment that the Company
did not maintain effective internal control over financial
reporting as of January 30, 2005, is fairly stated, in all
material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal
Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in
our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness
described above on the achievement of the objectives of the
control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective
internal control over financial reporting as of January 30,
2005, based on the criteria established in Internal
Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule as of and for the year ended January 30, 2005, of
the Company and our reports dated April 11, 2005 expressed
an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and
financial statement schedule, and included an explanatory
paragraph relating to the restatement of the financial
statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
PETsMART, Inc.
Phoenix, Arizona
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
PETsMART, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of
January 30, 2005 and February 1, 2004, and the related
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income,
stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three
fiscal years in the period ended January 30, 2005. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
PETsMART, Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 30, 2005 and
February 1, 2004, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the
period ended January 30, 2005 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been restated.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting as of January 30, 2005, based on the
criteria established in Internal Control Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission and our report dated April 11, 2005
expressed an unqualified opinion on managements assessment
of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting and an adverse opinion on the effectiveness
of the Companys internal control over financial reporting
because of a material weakness.

PETsMART, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
|
Note 1 |
The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies |
PETsMART, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company or
PETsMART), is North Americas leading provider
of food, supplies, accessories and professional services for the
lifetime needs of pets. As of January 30, 2005, the Company
operated 726 retail stores. The Company offers a broad line of
products for all the life stages of pets and is the
nations largest provider of pet services, which includes
professional grooming, pet training, boarding and day camp.
PETsMART is a leading mail order catalog and e-commerce retailer
of pet and equine products and supplies. The Company makes
full-service veterinary care available in approximately 430 of
the Companys stores through the Companys strategic
relationship with Banfield, The Pet Hospital, operating under
the registered trademark of Banfield.
|
|
|
Principles of Consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All
intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.
The Company has no investments in which it has the ability to
exercise significant influence over the investee. Investments
for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise
significant influence and for which there is not a readily
determinable market value, are accounted for under the cost
method of accounting. The Company periodically evaluates the
carrying value of its investments accounted for under the cost
method of accounting and as of January 30, 2005 and
February 1, 2004, such investments were recorded at the
lower of cost or estimated net realizable value.
The Companys fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest
January 31. Fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002 each included
52 weeks.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Policies related to
sublease income, reserves against deferred tax assets, tax
contingencies, inventory shrinkage, insurance reserves and cash
flows in analyses for impairment of long-lived assets and
goodwill require significant estimates. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
|
|
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Under the Companys cash management system, a bank
overdraft balance exists for the Companys primary
disbursement accounts. This overdraft represents uncleared
checks in excess of cash balances in the related bank accounts.
The Companys funds are transferred on an as-needed basis
to pay for clearing checks. As of January 30, 2005 and
February 1, 2004, bank overdrafts of approximately
$42,955,000 and $49,677,000, respectively, were included in
accounts payable and bank overdraft in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. The Company considers any liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less at purchase
to be cash equivalents.
F-7
PETsMART, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Companys short-term investments consist of Auction
Rate Securities, or ARS, which represent funds available for
current operations. In accordance with the Statement of
Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,
these short-term investments are classified as
available-for-sale and are carried at cost, or par value which
approximates the fair market value. These securities have stated
maturities beyond three months but are priced and traded as
short-term instruments due to the liquidity provided through the
interest rate mechanism of 28 to 49 days.
|
|
|
Vendor Rebates and Promotions |
The Company receives income from certain merchandise suppliers
in the form of rebates and promotions. Agreements are made with
each individual merchandise supplier and income is earned as
buying levels are met and/or cooperative advertising is placed.
Rebate income is recorded as a reduction of cost of sales, and
cooperative promotional income is recorded as a reduction of
operating, general and administrative expenses. The uncollected
amounts of vendor rebate and promotional income remaining in
receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as
of January 30, 2005 and February 1, 2004, were
approximately $2,922,000 and $1,293,000, respectively. Unearned
vendor rebates recorded as a reduction of inventory in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets were approximately
$455,000 and $386,000 as of January 30, 2005 and
February 1, 2004, respectively.
|
|
|
Merchandise Inventories and Cost of Sales |
Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost or
market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method
based on moving average costs and includes certain procurement
and distribution costs related to the processing of merchandise.
The Company maintains reserves for lower of cost or market, as
well as shrinkage.
Total procurement and distribution costs charged to cost of
sales during fiscal 2004, fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002 were
$183,710,000, $169,579,000 and $156,926,000, respectively.
Procurement and distribution costs remaining in inventory as of
January 30, 2005 and February 1, 2004, were
$32,383,000 and $30,262,000, respectively.
Cost of sales includes the following types of expenses: direct
costs associated with the products sold, including inbound
freight; salaries of the groomers and trainers and other costs
related to the services line of business; warehousing costs,
including procurement and distribution costs; store occupancy,
including depreciation of leasehold improvements and capitalized
lease assets, and utilities costs; and inventory shrinkage
costs. Also included in cost of sales are reductions for vendor
rebates and discounts.
|
|
|
Inventory Valuation Reserves |
The Company has established reserves for estimated inventory
shrinkage between physical inventories. Stores perform physical
inventories once a year, and in between the physical
inventories, the stores perform cycle counts on certain
inventory items. Distribution centers and forward distribution
centers perform cycle counts encompassing all inventory items
every quarter or perform an annual physical inventory. Due to
the holiday season, the majority of the stores do not perform
physical inventories during the last quarter of the fiscal year,
but continue to perform cycle counts on certain inventory items.
Therefore, as of the end of a reporting period, there will be
stores with certain inventory items that have not been counted.
For each reporting period presented, the Company estimates the
inventory shrinkage based on a two-year historical trend
analysis. The Company also has reserves for estimated
obsolescence and to reduce inventory to the lower of cost or
market.
F-8
PETsMART, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is provided on buildings, furniture,
fixtures and equipment and computer software using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets. Leasehold improvements and capital lease assets
are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of
the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the related
assets. Computer software consists primarily of third party
software purchased for internal use. Costs associated with the
preliminary stage of a project are expensed as incurred. Once
the project is in the development phase, external consulting
costs, as well as internal labor costs, are capitalized.
Training costs, data conversion costs and maintenance costs are
expensed as incurred. Maintenance and repairs to furniture,
fixtures and equipment are expensed as incurred.
The Companys property and equipment is depreciated using
the following estimated useful lives:

Goodwill and Intangible Assets |
The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in
accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets. The carrying value of
goodwill of $14,422,000 as of January 30, 2005 and
February 1, 2004, represents the excess of the cost of
acquired businesses over the fair market value of their net
assets. In fiscal 2003, the Company recorded $1,200,000 of
additional goodwill related to the payment of contingent
consideration associated with the acquisition of PETsMART
PETsHOTELsm
in 2000. In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company
eliminated net goodwill of $8,575,000 associated with the
increase in ownership of PETsMART.com (see Note 3). The
goodwill was eliminated in connection with the reversal of the
valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. In January
2002, the Company acquired all of the remaining shares held by
PETsMART.com minority stockholders for approximately $9,500,000
and eliminated the minority interest balance of $604,000. The
net amount of $8,896,000 was recorded in goodwill and is
associated with the pet internet and pet catalog direct
marketing channels, which remain an integral part of the
Companys direct marketing strategies.
Intangible assets consisted solely of trademarks that have an
estimated useful life of 10 to 15 years. The trademarks
have zero residual value. Changes in the carrying amount for
fiscal 2004 and 2003 were as follows (in thousands):

respectively. For fiscal years 2005 through 2009, the Company
estimates the amortization expense to be approximately $359,000
each year.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
Long-lived assets, including goodwill and intangible assets, are
reviewed for impairment, based on undiscounted cash flows,
annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be
recoverable. If this review indicates that the carrying amount
of the long-lived assets is not recoverable, the Company will
recognize an impairment loss, measured by the future discounted
cash flow method or market appraisals. During fiscal 2004 and
fiscal 2003, the Company recorded a loss of approximately
$1,500,000 and $1,300,000, respectively, in operating, general
and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of
operations, which represented the net book value of leasehold
improvements at closed stores. During fiscal 2002, no impairment
losses were recorded.
Long-lived assets for Canadian operations, denominated in US
dollars, approximate $17,337,000 and $15,119,000 as of
January 30, 2005 and February 2, 2004, respectively.
|
|
|
Insurance Liabilities and Reserves |
The Company maintains standard property and casualty insurance
on all its properties and leasehold interests, product liability
insurance that covers products and the sale of live pets,
self-insured health plans, employers professional
liability and workers compensation insurance. Property
insurance covers approximately $1.0 billion in buildings
and contents, including furniture and fixtures, leasehold
improvements and inventory. Under the Companys casualty
and workers compensation insurance policies through
January 31, 2004, it retained the initial risk of loss of
$250,000 for each policy per occurrence. Effective
February 1, 2004, the Company engaged a new insurance
provider. Under the Companys casualty and workers
compensation insurance policies with the new provider, it
retains an initial risk of loss of $500,000 for each policy per
occurrence on or subsequent to February 1, 2004. The
Company establishes reserves for losses based on semi-annual
independent actuarial estimates of the amount of loss inherent
in that periods claims, including losses for which claims
have been incurred but not reported. Loss estimates rely on
actuarial observations of ultimate loss experience for similar
historical events, and changes in such assumptions could result
in an adjustment to the reserves. During the second quarter of
2004, the Company recognized additional expense as a result of
an actuarial report that indicated a higher reserve requirement.
As of January 30, 2005 and February 1, 2004, the
Company had approximately $40,527,000 and $27,862,000,
respectively, in reserves related to casualty, self-insured
health plans, employers professional liability and
workers compensation insurance policies.
|
|
|
Reserve for Closed Stores |
The Company continuously evaluates the performance of its retail
stores and periodically closes those that are under-performing.
Closed stores are generally replaced by a new store in a nearby
location. The Company establishes reserves for future rental
payments on closed stores and terminated subleases and
classifies these costs in operating, general and administrative
expenses (see Note 7). The costs for future rental payments
associated with closed stores are calculated using the net
present value method, at a credit-adjusted risk-free interest
rate, over the remaining life of the lease, net of expected
sublease income. The Company records such reserves as of the
date it ceases use of the property. Judgment is used to estimate
the underlying real estate market related to the expected
sublease income, and additional charges may be required based on
the changing real estate environment. As of January 30,
2005 and February 1, 2004, approximately $9,141,000 and
$14,762,000, respectively, were recorded for closed store
reserves.
The Company establishes deferred income tax assets and
liabilities for temporary differences between the financial
reporting bases and the income tax bases of assets and
liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when
such assets or liabilities are realized or settled. The Company
records a valuation allowance on the deferred income tax assets
to reduce the total to an amount it believes is more likely than
not to be realized.
F-10
PETsMART, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Valuation allowances at January 30, 2005 and
February 1, 2004 were principally to offset certain
deferred income tax assets for operating and capital loss
carryforwards.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company completed an
analysis of net operating loss carryovers related to the
purchase of PETsMART.com in fiscal year 2000, based on Internal
Revenue Service guidance. As a result, the Company expects to
utilize an additional $22,100,000 of net operating losses
previously considered unavailable. The Company recorded a total
tax benefit of $7,700,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2004
related to the additional net operating loss utilization.
The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions and could be
subject to audit in any of these jurisdictions. These audits can
involve complex issues that may require an extended period of
time to resolve and may cover multiple years. The Internal
Revenue Service is currently examining our tax returns for the
2002 tax year.

Legal fees and other costs incurred in connection with loss
contingencies are expensed as incurred.
The Company records revenue at the point of sale for retail
stores. The shipping terms for catalog and internet orders is
FOB shipping point, therefore revenue is recognized at the time
of shipment for catalog and electronic commerce sales. Outbound
shipping charges are included in net sales when the products are
shipped for catalog and electronic commerce sales. The Company
records an allowance for estimated returns in the period of
sale. Revenue for grooming, pet training, PETsHOTEL and Doggie
Day Camp is recognized when services are performed.
Net sales, denominated in US dollars, in Canada were
approximately $87,693,000, $75,706,000 and $62,734,000 for
fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred,
except for direct response advertising, which is capitalized and
amortized over its expected period of future benefit, and

income, including direct response advertising, were $70,675,000,
$72,794,000 and $66,180,000 for fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. Direct response advertising consists primarily of
product catalogs. The capitalized costs of the direct response
advertising are amortized over the six-month to one-year period
following the mailing of the respective catalog. As of
January 30, 2005 and February 1, 2004, $1,283,000 and
$1,267,000, respectively, of direct response advertising was
included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions |
The local currency has been used as the functional currency in
Canada. The assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currency are translated into United States dollars at the
current rate of exchange at year-end, and revenues and expenses
are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. The
translation gains and losses are included as a separate
component of other comprehensive income (loss), and transaction
gains and losses are included in net income.
Foreign currency translation adjustments were the only component
of other comprehensive income. The income tax expense related to
the foreign currency translation adjustments was approximately
$1,387,000, $2,063,000 and $592,000 for fiscal 2004, 2003 and
2002, respectively.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income
by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during each
period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period after adjusting for dilutive stock
options for all periods and for dilutive common shares assumed
to be issued on conversion of the Companys
63/4% Subordinated
Convertible Notes (the Notes) in the fiscal 2002
calculation.
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-based Compensation
(SFAS No. 123), the Company applies
the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees (APB No. 25) and related
interpretations, in recording compensation expense for grants of
equity instruments to employees.

The Company has stock option plans as well as an Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (see Note 16). The Company accounts for those
plans under APB No. 25 and related Interpretations.
Accordingly, no compensation cost is reflected in net income, as
all options granted under those plans had an exercise price
equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the
date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net
income and earnings per common share if the Company had applied
the fair-value-based method of SFAS No. 123 to record
compensation expense for stock options and employee stock
purchases (in thousands, except per share data).

The fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model, and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. The
option valuation model requires the input of subjective
assumptions including the expected volatility and lives. Actual
values of grants could vary significantly from the results of
the calculations. The weighted average Black-Scholes fair value
of options granted was $12.14, $7.59 and $5.76 for fiscal 2004,
2003 and 2002, respectively. The following assumptions were used
to value grants:

The Company may grant restricted stock under the PETsMART, Inc.
1997 Equity Incentive Plan and the PETsMART, Inc. 2003 Equity
Incentive Plan (see Note 16). The shares of restricted
common stock awarded under these plans vest on the fourth year
anniversary of the date of the award provided the recipient is
continuously employed through such anniversary. The Company
accounts for these plans under APB No. 25 and related
Interpretations, and compensation expense is recognized pro rata
over the four-year vesting period of the stock. Deferred
compensation is based on the fair market value at the date of
grant.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FASB
Interpretation, or FIN, 46, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting
Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated
Financial Statements, on January 17, 2003.
FIN 46 requires that an entity holding a majority of the
variable interest of a variable interest
entity must consolidate the operations of that variable
interest entity of which it is the primary beneficiary. In 2003,
the Company purchased two properties from a structured lease
financing facility (see Structured Lease Facilities
in Note 14). In 2003, the structured lease financing
facility was liquidated. FIN 46 was effective for the
Company on August 4, 2003. With the liquidation of the
Companys special purpose entity during 2003, the adoption
of FIN 46 did not have a material impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.
In March 2003, the FASBs Emerging Issues Task Force, or
EITF, reached a consensus on Issue 02-16,
Accounting by a Customer (including a Reseller) for
Cash Consideration Received from a Vendor. The
transition provisions apply prospectively to arrangements with
vendors entered into or modified after December 31, 2002,
do not allow for prior period reclassification, and require
companies to account for all amounts received from vendors as a
reduction of the cost of the products purchased unless certain
criteria are met that allow companies to account for vendor
funding as a reduction of related selling, general and
administrative expenses. During fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, the
Company recorded approximately $10,422,000, $10,931,000 and
$11,007,000, respectively, for cooperative promotional income.
The Company adopted the provisions of EITF 02-16 for vendor
contracts entered into or modified subsequent to
December 31, 2002, and the adoption did not have a material
impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2003, the FASBs Emerging Issues Task Force
reached a consensus on Issue 03-10, Application of
Issue No. 02-16 by Resellers to Sales Incentives Offered to
Consumers by Manufacturers. Under EITF 03-10, any
cash consideration a company receives from a vendor as part of a
certain exclusive sales incentive arrangement must be recorded
in the income statement as an offset to cost of sales, and
cannot be recorded as revenue, unless the company meets certain
criteria. EITF 03-10 is effective for new arrangements and
modifications to existing arrangements entered into in fiscal
periods beginning after November 25, 2003. EITF 03-10
permits reclassification of prior periods for comparison
purposes. The Company adopted EITF 03-10 on
February 2, 2004, which resulted in a decrease in sales and
a corresponding decrease in cost of sales in the consolidated
statements of operations of $3,336,000 and $2,936,000, for
fiscal 2004 and 2003, respectively.
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement
No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(FAS 123(R)), which is a revision of FASB
Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
its related implementation guidance. FAS 123(R) requires
all share-based payments to employees, including grants of
employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial
statements based on their grant-date fair values.
FAS 123(R) is effective for public companies at the
beginning of the first interim or annual period beginning after
June 15, 2005. The Company intends to adopt FAS 123(R)
beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2005 ending May 1,
2005 and intends to utilize the modified retrospective
transition method, which allows the restatement of prior periods
by recognizing compensation cost in the amounts previously
reported in the pro forma footnote disclosures under the
provisions of Statement 123.

In July 2004, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue 02-14,
Whether the Equity Method of Accounting Applies When an
Investor Does Not Have an Investment in Voting Stock of an
Investee But Exercises Significant Influence Through Other
Means (EITF 02-14). EITF 02-14
concludes that the equity method of accounting is applicable to
investments in common stock and in-substance common stock when
the investor has the ability to exercise significant influence
over the operating and financial policies of an investee.
EITF 02-14 was applicable in the first reporting period
beginning after September 14, 2004. The Company adopted
EITF 02-14 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, and
the adoption had no impact on its financial position or results
of operations.
For comparative purposes, certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Accounting for Leases
On February 7, 2005, the Office of the Chief Accountant of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued
a letter to the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants clarifying the SEC staffs interpretation of
certain accounting issues and their application under accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP) relating to leases. As a result, PETsMART
conducted an internal review and determined that certain of its
lease accounting methods were not in accordance with GAAP, as
described below.
The Company had historically recognized rent holiday periods on
a straight-line basis over the lease term commencing with the
store opening date. The Company has now determined that the
lease term should include all periods in which the Company has
the right to control the use of the property, including
construction and set-up periods prior to the store opening.
Many of the Companys leases have rent escalation
provisions based on a factor of the Consumer Price Index
(CPI) with specified maximum increase amounts. These leases
have historically been accounted for under the FASBs
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS)
No. 29, Determining Contingent Rentals, which
provides that probability-based contingent rentals should be
expensed as incurred. However, in connection with the
Companys internal review of its lease accounting
practices, the Company determined that in almost all cases,
these leases reach their maximum rate increase and the maximum
rate increase should be included in the straight-line rental
expense.
The primary effect of the correction of the accounting for rent
holiday periods and rent increases is to accelerate the
recognition of rent expense and to increase deferred rent
liability balances. In situations where the affected lease is a
capital lease, the correction may increase the capital lease
asset and the related obligation, as well as the amount of
interest and depreciation expense recognized in the consolidated
statements of operations.

Leasehold improvement amortization |
When accounting for leases with renewal options, the Company had
historically depreciated certain assets over a period that, in
some instances, extended beyond the initial lease term and into
one or more option periods. Amortization for these assets should
have been recognized over the initial lease term unless the
renewal of an option period had been determined to be
reasonably assured as that term is contemplated by
SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases.
The primary effect of the leasehold improvement correction
is to accelerate the recognition of leasehold improvement
amortization.
|
|
|
Tenant improvement allowances |
The Company had historically accounted for tenant improvement
allowances as reductions in the related leasehold improvement
asset in the consolidated balance sheets and as a reduction in
capital expenditures in investing activities in the consolidated
statements of cash flows. Management has now determined that
FASB Technical Bulletin No. 88-1, Issues
Relating to Accounting for Leases, requires these
allowances to be recorded as deferred rent in the consolidated
balance sheets and as a component of operating activities in the
consolidated statements of cash flows.
In addition to the lease corrections outlined above, and as a
result of its lease accounting review, the Company corrected the
classification of certain items, including the amortization of
leasehold improvements and expenses related to capitalized
leases, in its balance sheets and statements of operations to
conform with GAAP.
Classification of Auction Rate Securities
(ARS)
The Company has determined that investments in auction rate
securities should be classified as short-term investments.
Previously, such investments had been classified as cash and
cash equivalents. ARS generally have long-term maturities;
however, these investments have characteristics similar to
short-term investments because at predetermined intervals,
generally every 28 to 49 days, there is a new auction
process. The Company recorded investments in ARS as of
January 30, 2005 as short-term investments and reclassified
ARS as of February 1, 2004 that were previously included in
cash and cash equivalents to short-term investments.

Acquisition of Controlling Interest in PETsMART.com |
In June 2001, the Company purchased 1,020,789 shares of
convertible voting preferred stock from minority shareholders
for approximately $741,000, which increased its voting ownership
to a requisite percentage for income tax reporting purposes that
allowed the Company to utilize a portion of PETsMART.coms
net operating loss carryforwards. As a result, in the second
quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company reversed valuation
allowances of deferred tax assets of $18,885,000, eliminated net
goodwill of $8,575,000 and recorded a tax benefit of
$10,310,000. In January 2002, the Company acquired all of the
remaining shares held by PETsMART.com minority stockholders for
approximately $9,500,000. The balance of the minority interest
as of February 3, 2002 was $604,000. The additional
investment and the minority interest represented a net amount of
$8,896,000, which was recorded as goodwill in fiscal 2001. The
Pasadena, California-based operations integrated its
administrative functions with the Companys office in
Phoenix, Arizona during fiscal 2002.
The Company has an investment in MMI Holdings, Inc., or MMIH, a
provider of veterinary and other pet-related services. MMIH,
through a wholly owned subsidiary, Medical Management
International, Inc., or MMI, operates full-service veterinary
hospitals and wellness hospitals inside approximately 430 of the
Companys stores, operating under the registered tradename
of Banfield. The Companys investment consists of common
and convertible preferred stock. The Company accounts for its
investment using the cost method, as it lacks the ability to
exercise significant influence over MMIHs operating and
financial policies. MMIH has both voting and non-voting common
stock and also has voting and non-voting series of convertible
preferred stock. During the second quarter of 2004, the Company
purchased an additional $773,000 of MMIH capital stock from
certain MMIH shareholders. The Companys ownership interest
in the stock of MMIH is as follows:

the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Licensing fees are determined by fixed costs per square foot,
adjusted for the number of days the hospitals are open and sales
volumes achieved. Licensing fees of approximately $13,144,000,
$10,466,000 and $8,293,000 were recognized during fiscal years
2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Additionally, licensing fees

Reserve for Closed Stores |
The Company continuously evaluates the performance of its retail
stores and periodically closes those that are under-performing.
Reserves for future rental payments on closed stores and
terminated subleases are established in the period the store is
closed, in accordance with SFAS No. 146,
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities. The costs for future rental payments
associated with closed stores are calculated by using the net
present value method, at a credit-adjusted risk-free interest

sublease income.
The activity related to the closed store reserve was as follows

The current portion of the closed store reserve is recorded in
other current liabilities, and the noncurrent portion of the
reserve is recorded in deferred rents and other noncurrent
liabilities.
The costs for future rental payments associated with closed
stores were calculated using the net present value method, at a
credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate, over the remaining life
of the lease, net of expected sublease income. Approximately
$4,524,000 was recorded in fiscal 2003 as a charge to the
reserve due to a lease termination, changes in sublease
assumptions and an increase in real property tax assessments.
The adjustments and charges were recorded in operating, general
and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of
operations. Approximately $4,000,000 was included in fiscal 2004
payments for the buyout of a previously reserved lease
obligation. The Company can make no assurances that additional
charges related to these closed stores will not be required
based on the changing real estate environment.

additional amortization related to store lighting replacements.
During fiscal 2004 and 2003, the Company recognized expense of
approximately $1,500,000 and $1,300,000, respectively, which
represented the net book value of assets at closed stores. These
charges were recorded as cost of goods sold or operating,
general and administrative expenses, depending on asset
classification, in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company records a valuation allowance on the deferred income
tax assets to reduce the total to an amount that management
believes is more likely than not to be realized. The valuation
allowances at January 30, 2005 and February 1, 2004
are based upon the Companys estimates of the future
realization of deferred income tax assets. Valuation allowances
at January 30, 2005 and February 1, 2004 were
principally to offset certain deferred income tax assets for
operating and capital loss carryforwards.
The reduction in valuation allowance during fiscal 2004 was
principally attributable to the expiration of approximately
$116,000,000 of capital loss carryforwards. An additional
reduction in valuation allowance of approximately $7,700,000
resulted in an income statement benefit in the second quarter of
2004. This reduction was the result of an analysis based on
recently issued guidance from the Internal Revenue Service of
net operating loss carryovers related to the purchase of
PETsMART.com in fiscal year 2000. As a result, the Company
expects to utilize an additional $22,100,000 of net operating
losses previously considered unavailable.
As of January 30, 2005, the Company had, for income tax
reporting purposes, federal net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $73,000,000 which expire in varying amounts
between 2019 and 2020, foreign net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $7,000,000 which expire in varying amounts
between 2006 and 2008, state net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $98,000,000 which expire in varying amounts
between 2005 and 2019 and capital loss carryforwards of
approximately $19,000,000 to offset future capital gains, if
any, which will expire in varying amounts between 2008 through
2009. No deferred tax asset has been recorded for the foreign
net operating loss carryforwards, as the Company anticipates
that any benefit associated with their utilization would be
offset by United States residual tax. The federal net operating
loss carryforwards are subject to certain limitations on their
utilization pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal
F-22
PETsMART, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar limitations apply
to certain state net operating loss carryforwards under state
tax laws.
The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions and could be
subject to audit in these jurisdictions. These audits can
involve complex issues that may require an extended period of
time to resolve and may cover multiple years.

Note 10 |
Earnings Per Share |
Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with
SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential
dilution of securities that could share in earnings, such as
common stock equivalents that may be issuable upon exercise of
outstanding common stock options.
During February and March 2002, the remaining balance of the
Companys Notes was called for redemption, resulting in the
purchase of the Notes for approximately $275,000 in cash and the
conversion of the remainder into approximately
19,800,000 shares of common stock. Prior to the conversion,
and due to the dilutive effect these shares would have had on
earnings per share, the Company included these shares in the
calculation of diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2002. Net
income is adjusted for the interest expense, net of income tax
benefit, when the Notes are included in the diluted earnings per
share calculation.
A reconciliation of the basic and diluted per share computations
for fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002 is as follows (in thousands,

Note 11 |
Employee Benefit Plans |
The Company has a defined contribution plan pursuant to
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the
401(k) Plan). The 401(k) Plan covers substantially
all employees that meet certain service requirements. The
Company matches employee contributions, up to specified
percentages of those contributions, as approved by the Board of
Directors. Certain employees can elect to defer receipt of
certain salary and cash bonus payments pursuant to the
Companys Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan. The
Company matches employee contributions up to certain amounts as
defined in the Deferred Compensation Plan documents. During
fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized expense
related to matching contributions under these Plans of
$3,498,000, $3,687,000 and $2,378,000, respectively.

Subordinated Convertible Notes |
In November 1997, the Company sold $200,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of its Notes due 2004. The outstanding Notes
were convertible into the Companys common stock at any
time prior to maturity at a conversion price of $8.75 per
share, subject to adjustment under certain conditions.
During fiscal 2000, the Company repurchased and retired Notes
with a face value of $18,750,000 at a discounted price of
$13,630,000. During fiscal 2001, the Company repurchased and
retired Notes with a face value of $7,750,000 at a discounted
price of $6,382,000. The remaining principal outstanding as of
February 3, 2002 was $173,500,000.
In February and March of 2002, the remaining balance of
$173,500,000 of the Notes were called for redemption, resulting
in the repurchase of the Notes for approximately $275,000 in
cash and the conversion of the remainder into approximately
19,800,000 shares of the Companys common stock at a
conversion price of $8.75 per share. As a result of the
redemption, unamortized debt issuance costs of $2,357,000 and
accrued interest of $3,864,000 were reclassified to
stockholders equity, resulting in a net increase of
$1,507,000.
In July 2002, the Company filed a registration statement on
Form S-3 for a public offering of 14,500,000 shares of
its common stock, plus an over-allotment option of
2,175,000 shares. Of these shares, 13,182,584 were offered
by entities affiliated with Carrefour SA, and
1,317,416 shares, plus the shares in the over-allotment
option, were offered by the Company.
On August 5, 2002, the Company completed the sale of
1,317,416 shares of common stock for $13.40 per share,
resulting in proceeds, net of underwriting fees, of
approximately $16,859,000. On August 12, 2002, the
underwriters exercised the over-allotment option and purchased
2,175,000 additional shares of common stock for $13.40 per
share, resulting in proceeds, net of underwriting fees, of
approximately $27,833,000. Costs associated with the offering
were approximately $767,000 and were accounted for as a
reduction of the proceeds.
In April 2000, the Board of Directors approved a plan to
purchase the Companys common stock. In March 2003, the
Board of Directors extended the term of the purchase of the
Companys common stock for an additional three years
through March 2006 and increased the authorized amount of annual
purchases to $35,000,000. In September 2004, the Board of
Directors approved a program authorizing the purchase of up to
$150,000,000 of the Companys common stock through fiscal
year 2005. This program replaces the March 2003 program. During
fiscal 2004, the Company purchased 2,680,778 shares of its
common stock for approximately $79,998,000, or an average price
of $29.84 per share, under the March 2003 and September
2004 programs. During fiscal 2003, the Company purchased
1,406,300 shares of its common stock for approximately
$34,977,000, or an average price of $24.87 per share. At
January 30, 2005, approximately $105,002,000 remained
available for purchase under these programs.
On August 4, 1997, the Company adopted a Stockholder Rights
Plan under which one preferred share purchase right was
distributed on August 29, 1997 for each share of common
stock held on that date. No certificates for the rights will be
issued unless a person or group, subject to certain exceptions,
acquires 15% or more of the Companys common stock or
announces a tender offer for 15% or more of the common stock.
Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the
Company, upon such event, one one-hundredth

of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a price of
$65.00 per one one-hundredth of a preferred share. Each
preferred share is designed to be the economic equivalent of
100 shares of common stock. The rights expire
August 28, 2007 and are subject to redemption at a price of
$0.001 in specified circumstances.
In fiscal 2004 and 2003, the following dividends were declared

Note 14 |
Financing Arrangements and Lease Obligations |
On April 30, 2001, the Company entered into a new credit
arrangement with a group of lenders that provides for borrowings
of up to $250,000,000, including a sublimit of up to
$150,000,000 for letters of credit, and was to expire on
April 30, 2004. Borrowings and letter of credit issuances
under the facility are subject to a borrowing base and bear
interest, at the Companys option, at either a banks
prime rate plus 0% to 0.50% or LIBOR plus 2.00% to 2.50%. Due to
the Companys desire for greater flexibility in the
financial covenants and the historically limited use of the
credit facility, the credit facility was amended on
June 20, 2002, to reduce the available commitment to
$200,000,000, extend the maturity by two years to April 30,
2006 and amend certain covenants. On November 21, 2003, the
Company further amended its credit facility to reduce the
available commitment to $125,000,000, extend the maturity by two
years to April 30, 2008, amend certain covenants and reduce
the fee payable to the lenders each quarter to 0.25% of the
unused amount of the credit facility. The credit facility
permits the payment of dividends, so long as the Company is not
in default and the payment of dividends would not result in
default of the facility. The arrangement is secured by
substantially all personal property assets of the Company and
its domestic subsidiaries and certain real property of the
Company. At January 30, 2005 and February 1, 2004,
there were no borrowings outstanding on this credit arrangement.
The Company issues letters of credit for guarantees provided for
insurance programs, capital lease agreements and utilities. As
of January 30, 2005, approximately $35,752,000 was
outstanding under letters of credit.
|

|
Operating and Capital Leases |
The Company leases substantially all of its stores, retail
distribution centers and corporate offices under noncancelable
leases. The terms of the store leases generally range from 10 to
25 years and typically allow the
F-25
PETsMART, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Company to renew for three to five additional five-year terms.
Store leases, excluding renewal options, expire at various dates
through 2022. Generally, the leases require payment of property
taxes, utilities, common area maintenance, insurance and, if
annual sales at certain stores exceed specified amounts, provide
for additional rents. The Company also leases certain equipment
under operating leases. Total operating lease expense incurred,
net of sublease income, during fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002 was
$194,675,000, $179,102,000 and $174,499,000, respectively.
Additional rent included in those amounts was not material.
The Company has entered into sale and leaseback transactions for
several of its store locations, which included buildings and
underlying land. Such assets were sold at cost and were leased
back at terms similar to those of other leased stores. The
Company has no material future commitments regarding the sale of
these properties.
At January 30, 2005, the future minimum annual rental
commitments under all noncancelable leases were as follows (in

The rental commitments schedule is comprised of all locations
and equipment for which the Company has the right to control the
use of the property and includes open stores, closed stores,
stores to be opened in the future, distribution locations and
corporate offices. In addition to the commitments scheduled
above, the Company has executed lease agreements for future
store openings with total minimum lease payments of
$255,319,000. The typical lease term for these agreements is 10
to 15 years. The Company does not have the right to control
the use of the property under these leases at January 30,
2005.
Minimum payments have not been reduced by sublease income.

Structured Lease Facilities |
The Company previously entered into lease agreements for certain
stores as part of a structured lease financing. The structured
lease financing facilities provided a special purpose entity,
not affiliated with the Company, with the necessary financing to
complete the acquisition and construction of new stores. Once
construction was completed, another special purpose entity, also
not affiliated with the Company, leased the completed stores to
the Company for a four-year term. After the four-year term
expired, the Company was required to pay the balance of the
financing, provide for the sale of the properties to a third
party, or pay a guaranteed residual amount. The special purpose
entity was created specifically to hold the properties, which
consisted of two land parcels and seven stores. It engaged in no
other business activity.
In the first quarter of 2003, the Company made the decision to
purchase the two land parcels, and based on current appraisals,
it recorded a $1,700,000 loss in the consolidated financial
statements. This purchase transaction was completed in the
second quarter of 2003. In June 2003, the seven stores under the
structured leasing facility were sold to a third party by the
special purpose entity lessor. The Company immediately entered
into lease agreements for the seven stores with the third party
buyer. Based on the lease terms, the lease agreements for six of
the seven buildings resulted in capital lease treatment under
SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases.
As a result, the Company recognized capital lease assets and
related obligations of approximately $10,700,000 upon execution
of the lease agreements. One of the buildings and the related
land for all seven stores are classified as operating leases.
These transactions eliminated any arrangements between the
Company and special purpose entities.

Commitments and Contingencies |
On January 16, 2001, certain former stockholders of Pet
City Holdings, a U.K. corporation (Pet City),
including Richard Northcott, who was a PETsMART board member
from December 1996 to September 1997, filed two complaints, one
in federal court and one in state court, seeking damages against
PETsMART and certain of its former or current officers and
directors. These plaintiffs subsequently dismissed the state
court complaint prior to the issuance of any rulings on the
merits, and added the claims from the state complaint to a
consolidated federal complaint. The consolidated complaint
related to the 1996 acquisition of Pet City by PETsMART.
Plaintiffs alleged misrepresentations or omissions that misled
the shareholders of Pet City concerning PETsMARTs
business, financial status and prospects. As a result of a
series of mediations before a retired federal magistrate judge,
the parties settled the case out of court in January 2003 and
stipulated to a dismissal of plaintiffs consolidated
complaint with prejudice. The dismissal order was entered by the
court on February 18, 2003. In 2003, the Company paid a
settlement fee of $16,400,000, and in 2001 and 2002, the Company
recorded approximately $5,000,000 and $13,200,000, respectively,
for settlement fees, legal costs and taxes associated with the
litigation.
The Company recognized a $3,600,000 gain from a legal settlement
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.
The Company is involved in the defense of various other legal
proceedings that it does not believe are material to its
business.
The following is a summary of agreements that the Company has
determined are within the scope of FIN 45,
Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for
Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
Others an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and
107 and rescission of FASB interpretation No. 34, which
are specifically grandfathered because the guarantees were in
effect prior to December 31, 2002. Accordingly, the Company
has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of
January 30, 2005, except as noted below.
F-27
PETsMART, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
As permitted under Delaware law and the Companys bylaws
and certificate of incorporation, the Company has agreements to
indemnify its officers and directors for certain events or
occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at
the request of the Company. The term of the indemnification
period is for the officers or directors lifetime.
The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company
could be required to make under these indemnification agreements
is unlimited; however, the Company has a directors and
officers insurance policy that may enable recovery of a
portion of any future amounts paid. Assuming the applicability
of coverage and the willingness of the insurer to assume
coverage and subject to certain retention, loss limits and other
policy provisions, the Company believes the estimated fair value
of this indemnification obligation is not material. However, no
assurances can be given that the insurers will not attempt to
dispute the validity, applicability or amount of coverage
without expensive and time-consuming litigation against the
insurers.
As of January 30, 2005, the Company had letters of credit
for guarantees of $33,650,000 for insurance policies, $2,000,000
for capital lease agreements and $102,000 for utilities. The
liabilities associated with the insurance policies, capital
leases and utilities were recorded in the consolidated balance
sheet as of January 30, 2005.
The Company accrues for potential income tax contingencies when
it is probable that a liability to a taxing authority has been
incurred and the amount of the contingency can be reasonably
estimated, based upon managements view of the likely
outcomes of current and future audits. The Companys
accrual for income tax contingencies is adjusted for changes in
circumstances and additional uncertainties, such as amendments
to existing tax law, both legislated and concluded through the
various jurisdictions tax court systems. At
January 30, 2005, the Company had an accrual for income tax
contingencies of approximately $17,000,000. If the amounts
ultimately settled with tax authorities are greater than the
accrued contingencies, the Company must record additional income
tax expense in the period in which the assessment is determined.
To the extent amounts are ultimately settled for less than the
accrued contingencies, or the Company determines that a
liability to a taxing authority is no longer probable, the
contingency is reversed as a reduction of income tax expense in
the period the determination is made.
The Company has purchase obligations for certain advertising
approximating $7,366,000 in fiscal 2005.

Note 16 |
Stock Incentive Plans |
|
|
|
Employee Stock Purchase Plan |
The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(ESPP) that enables essentially all employees to
purchase the Companys common stock on semi-annual offering
dates at 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the
offering date or, if lower, at 85% of the fair market value of
the shares on the purchase date. A maximum of
4,000,000 shares is authorized for purchase until the ESPP
plan termination date of July 31, 2012. A total of 134,000,
430,000 and 468,000 shares were purchased in 2004, 2003 and
2002, respectively, for aggregate proceeds of $2,681,000,
$5,328,000 and $3,284,000, respectively.
The Company may grant restricted stock under the PETsMART, Inc.
1997 Equity Incentive Plan and the PETsMART, Inc. 2003 Equity
Incentive Plan. Under the terms of the plans, employees may be
awarded shares of common stock of the Company, subject to
approval by the Board of Directors. The employee may be required
to pay par value for the shares depending on their length of
service. The shares of common stock
F-28
PETsMART, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
awarded under the plans are subject to a reacquisition right
held by the Company. In the event that the award
recipients employment by, or service to, the Company is
terminated for any reason, the Company is entitled to
simultaneously and automatically reacquire for no consideration
all of the unvested shares of restricted common stock previously
awarded to the recipient.
In fiscal 2004 and 2003, the Company awarded 617,000 and
583,000 shares of restricted stock and recorded
approximately $15,003,000 and $8,882,000, respectively, as
deferred compensation with an offsetting credit to additional
paid-in capital. Such deferred compensation is being amortized
ratably by a charge to income over the four-year term of the
restricted stock awards. In fiscal 2004 and 2003, the Company
recorded $4,812,000 and $2,090,000, respectively, of
compensation expense for restricted stock. During fiscal year
2004 and 2003, approximately 125,000 and 9,000 shares,
respectively, were reacquired by the Company due to employee
terminations.
|
|
|
Restricted Stock Bonus Plan |
The Company had a Restricted Stock Bonus Plan, under which
employees were awarded shares of common stock of the Company,
subject to approval by the Board of Directors. The shares of
common stock awarded under the Restricted Stock Bonus Plan are
subject to a reacquisition right held by the Company. In the
event that the award recipients employment by, or service
to, the Company is terminated for any reason, the Company should
simultaneously and automatically reacquire for no consideration
all of the unvested shares of restricted common stock previously
awarded to the recipient.
The employee was not required to make any cash payment as a
condition of receiving the award. The shares of restricted
common stock awarded under the Restricted Stock Bonus Plan
vested and were released from the Companys reacquisition
right under an accelerated schedule when the Companys
common stock price reached certain specified targets.
In fiscal 1998, the Company awarded 286,000 shares under
the Restricted Stock Bonus Plan and recorded approximately
$3,003,000 as deferred compensation with an offsetting credit to
additional paid-in capital. The Company accounted for this plan
under APB No. 25 and related Interpretations. Such deferred
compensation was being amortized ratably by a charge to income
over the five-year term of the restricted stock awards. During
fiscal 2003 and 2002 approximately 5,500 and 9,200 shares,
respectively, were reacquired by the Company due to employee
terminations. In fiscal 2004, no shares were acquired by the
Company due to employee terminations.
In fiscal 2003, all remaining shares became fully vested. At
February 1, 2004 there were no remaining outstanding shares
under the Restricted Stock Bonus Plan and the compensation
expense had been fully recognized. Compensation expense was
$19,000 and $172,000 in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively.
During fiscal 2003, the Companys stockholders approved an
amendment and restatement of the 1995 Equity Incentive Plan as
the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. The amendments to the 2003
Equity Incentive Plan included an increase of
7,000,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance,
an extension of the term to August 31, 2007, a minimum
exercise price for all options granted be equivalent to the fair
market value on the date of the grant, a cap of 20% on awards
that may be granted below fair market value on the date of
grant, and the awards subject to the cap shall have a cumulative
weighted average vesting period of at least three years. The
Company may grant under the PETsMART, Inc. 1997 Equity Incentive
Plan and the PETsMART, Inc. 2003 Equity Incentive Plan either
incentive stock options, nonstatutory options or other stock
awards to purchase up to 19,621,700 shares of common stock.
These grants are made to employees, including officers,
consultants and directors of the Company, at the fair market
value on the date of the grant. At January 30, 2005, stock
options to purchase 10,725,200 shares of common stock
were outstanding with
F-29
PETsMART, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
exercise prices ranging from $2.41 to $35.00 per share, and
8,896,500 additional options or awards may be issued under these
plans. Options generally vest over a period of three to four
years and expire ten years after the date of grant. As of
January 30, 2005, stock options to
purchase 305,200 shares of common stock were also
outstanding under the Companys 1996 Non-Employee Directors
Equity Plan with exercise prices ranging from $3.03 to
$19.00 per share. The 1996 Non-Employee Directors Equity
Plan expired on May 11, 2002, and no further options may be
granted under this plan.

Financial Information by Business Segment |
As of February 2, 2004, the Company had three operating
segments; PETsMART North America, which included all retail
stores, PETsMART Direct, which included the Companys
equine catalog and equine Internet operations and PETsMART.com,
which included the Companys pet catalog and pet Internet
operations. As of January 30, 2005, the Company had two
operating segments as a result of the integration of PETsMART
Direct and PETsMART.com during the first quarter of fiscal 2004.
The Company evaluated its segment reporting requirements under
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information, and determined
that the reorganized PETsMART Direct operating segment does not
meet the quantitative thresholds for disclosure as a reportable
operating segment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
PETsMART, Inc.
Phoenix, Arizona
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of
PETsMART, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of
January 30, 2005 and February 1, 2004, and for each of
the three fiscal years in the period ended January 30,
2005, managements assessment of the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting as of
January 30, 2005, and the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting as of
January 30, 2005, and have issued our reports thereon dated
April 11, 2005 (our report on the financial statements
expresses an unqualified opinion and includes an explanatory
paragraph relating to the restatement of the financial
statements and our report on internal control over financial
reporting expresses an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of
the Companys internal control over financial reporting
because of a material weakness); such consolidated financial
statements and reports are included elsewhere in this
Form 10-K. Our audits also included the consolidated
financial statement schedule of the Company listed in
Item 15. This consolidated financial statement schedule is
the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion based on our audits. In
our opinion, such consolidated financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.
