PetSmart Reports Results for the Third Quarter 2011

Q3 Earnings up 32% to $0.50 per Share; Comp Sales of 6.1%; Total Sales up 8%; Comp

Transactions of 2.2%

PHOENIX, AZ—(November 16, 2011) - PetSmart, Inc. (NASDAQ: PETM) today reported earnings of $0.50 per share, up 32% compared to $0.38 per share in the third quarter of 2010. Net income totaled $56 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $46 million in the third quarter of 2010.

Total sales for the third quarter of 2011 increased 8% to $1.5 billion. The increase in sales was partially impacted by $3 million in favorable foreign currency fluctuations. Comparable store sales, or sales in stores open at least a year, grew 6.1%, benefitting from comparable transactions growth of 2.2%. Services sales, which are included in total sales, grew 9% to $161 million.

During the third quarter, the company generated $124 million in operating cash flow, spent $28 million in capital expenditures, distributed $16 million in dividends, and repurchased $70 million of PetSmart stock. The company ended the quarter with $333 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and zero borrowings on its credit facility.

“The favorable momentum that we experienced during the quarter validates the work that we are doing, and continues to move us forward on our journey to becoming a best-in-class specialty retailer,” said Bob Moran, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“For the full year, we expect comparable store sales growth of mid-single digits. We are raising our earnings per share guidance from a previous range of $2.46 to $2.52 to our current expectations of $2.50 to $2.54,” said Chip Molloy, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “For the fourth quarter of 2011, we are expecting comparable store sales growth in the low- to mid-single digit range, and earnings per share between $0.85 and $0.89.”
