• | GAAP earnings from continuing operations doubled to $0.40 per diluted share. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings from continuing operations1 rose 8.5 percent to $0.51 per diluted share. |

St. Paul, Minn. - August 25, 2016 - Patterson Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq: PDCO) today reported consolidated net sales of $1.3 billion (see attached Sales Summary for further details) in its fiscal first quarter ended July 30, 2016, up 16.6 percent over the same period last year. Sales this quarter include a full-quarter contribution from the Animal Health International, Inc. acquisition. Sales in the year-ago quarter included an extra sales week and only a six-week contribution from Animal Health International, Inc.
Reported net income from continuing operations was $38.9 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to $20.3 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in last year’s fiscal first quarter. Adjusted net income from continuing operations1, which excludes certain non-recurring and deal amortization costs, totaled $48.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, up 4.0 percent over $46.9 million in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations1 totaled $0.51 in the 2017 first quarter, up 8.5 percent year-over-year.
“The business turned in a solid performance overall in the first fiscal quarter. Enhancing our operational platform for growth is a top priority for Patterson, and we moved forward with efforts to boost our effectiveness and improve our ability to compete in an evolving marketplace,” said Scott Anderson, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “In Dental, we implemented steps to align our go-to-market strategy with shifting customer needs. In Animal Health, our ongoing integration initiatives and progress toward planned synergies remained on track. We are confident in the platform we are building for long-term growth and efficiency.”
Patterson Dental
Reported net sales for Patterson Dental, which represents approximately 43 percent of total company sales, were $555.0 million, down 3.5 percent. Sales grew 2.1 percent on a constant currency basis and excluding the extra week from the 2016 first fiscal quarter. On that same basis, year-over-year sales by category were as follows:
• | Consumable dental supplies increased 0.9 percent |
• | Equipment sales improved 5.4 percent |
• | Other services and products, primarily composed of technical service, parts and labor, software support services and office supplies, rose 1.3 percent |
Anderson said, “Our customers’ appetite for technology adoption and equipment investment was strong, and we are well positioned to address that demand. We also recognize that purchasing patterns of our customers are evolving and our aim is to lead the industry in addressing that change. While these sales force realignment actions can cause some short-term sales disruption, we believe we were competitive during the quarter in consumable sales and were pleased with the growth in our equipment sales volumes.”
Patterson Animal Health
Reported net sales for Patterson Animal Health, which comprises approximately 57 percent of the company’s total sales, were $762.6 million, up 36.8 percent. Production animal sales contributed $361.9 million to the segment during the quarter. Companion animal sales grew 11.7 percent on a constant currency basis and excluding the extra week from the 2016 first fiscal quarter. U.S. companion animal sales grew 8.1 percent, adjusting for the extra sales week in the same period last year and normalizing for the changes in selling arrangements for certain products.
Anderson added, “We are pleased with the performance of our U.S. companion animal business and encouraged by the growth this quarter in our production animal business. Livestock end markets are starting to improve, and we believe our growth in the quarter outpaced our end markets. We continue to make progress in our integration and synergies, while remaining focused on sales execution.”
Discontinued Operations
On August 28, 2015, Patterson Companies completed the sale of Patterson Medical to Madison Dearborn Partners for approximately $717 million. As a result of the sale, Patterson Medical is classified and reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Share Repurchases and Dividends
In the fiscal 2017 first quarter, Patterson repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares of its outstanding common stock, with a value of $25.0 million, leaving approximately 16 million shares for repurchase under the current authorization. The company also paid $24.2 million in cash dividends to shareholders in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
Business Outlook
Anderson concluded, “We are positioning Patterson Companies to achieve long-term growth and efficiency goals that build on the platform we have created. We anticipate that our range of initiatives, from our enterprise resource planning system deployment, to our optimization efforts in Dental, to our ongoing integration efforts in the Animal Health segment will further enhance our competitiveness and shareholder value. We will continue to closely monitor the conditions and variables in our end markets. With this in mind, we reiterate our adjusted earnings guidance for fiscal 2017 in the range of $2.60 to $2.70 per diluted share.”
The fiscal 2017 annual financial outlook and adjusted earnings guidance:
• | Assumes stable North American and international markets |
• | Excludes the impact of additional share repurchases |
• | Excludes new acquisitions |
• | Excludes transaction-related costs, integration and business restructuring expenses and deal amortization (See Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures table below) |
• | Includes $25 million step up in operating expense associated with the ERP implementation |
1Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following non-GAAP table is provided to adjust reported net income and diluted earnings per share for the impact of tax affected one-time costs, current and prior-year deal amortization costs and tax costs related to cash repatriation. Management believes that the adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share amounts may provide a helpful representation of the company’s current quarter performance.

Our guidance is presented on a non-GAAP basis. Due to the difficulty in forecasting certain transaction and business restructuring-related expenses and the tax impact thereof, the company is unable to provide a reconciliation of adjusted earnings guidance for fiscal 2017 without unreasonable effort. Because the information necessary to provide such reconciliation is unavailable, the company is unable to predict its probable significance.
In addition, the term constant currency represents net sales adjusted to exclude foreign currency impacts. Foreign currency impact represents the difference in results that is attributable to fluctuations in currency exchange rates the company uses to convert results for all foreign entities where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. The company calculates the impact as the difference between the current period results translated using the current period currency exchange rates and using the comparable prior period’s currency exchange rates. The company believes the disclosure of net sales changes in constant currency provides useful supplementary information to investors in light of significant fluctuations in currency rates.
