PetIQ Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Principal Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies

Principal Business Activity and Principles of Consolidation

PetIQ, Inc. (the “Company”, or “PetIQ”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on February 29, 2016. The Company was formed for the purpose of completing a public offering and related transactions in order to carry on the business of PetIQ, LLC, an Idaho limited liability company. The Company is the sole managing member of PetIQ Holdings, LLC (“Holdco”), a Delaware limited liability company, which is the sole member of PetIQ, LLC (“Opco”) and, through Holdco, will operate and control all of the business and affairs of Opco and continue to conduct the business now conducted by Opco and its subsidiaries.

The Company’s principal asset is the Holdco LLC Interests that it holds. As the sole managing member of Holdco, the Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Holdco and, through Holdco and its subsidiaries, conducts the Company’s business. In addition, the Company controls the management of, and has a controlling interest in, Holdco and, therefore, is the primary beneficiary of Holdco. As a result, the Company consolidates the financial results of Holdco pursuant to the variable-interest entity (“VIE”) accounting model, and a portion of the Company’s net income (loss) will be allocated to the non-controlling interest to reflect the entitlement of Continuing LLC Owners (defined as all owners of Holdco other than PetIQ) to a portion of Holdco’s net (loss) income. Holdco’s assets may be used only to settle Holdco’s obligations and Holdco’s beneficial interest holders have no recourse to the general credit to the Company. Through Holdco and its subsidiaries, the Company is a manufacturer and wholesale distributor of over-the-counter and prescription pet medications and pet wellness products to various retail customers and distributors throughout the United States and Europe. The Company also provides veterinary services to retail consumers through a network of community clinics and wellness centers.  The Company is headquartered in Eagle, Idaho and manufactures and distributes products from facilities in Florida, Texas, Utah, and Europe. The Company provides veterinary services in the United States through a network of 34 district offices.

PetIQ, Inc. consolidates Holdco and Opco; Opco is considered to be the predecessor to PetIQ, Inc. for accounting and reporting purposes.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all majority-owned subsidiaries and certain veterinary medical groups to which we provide services. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 and related notes thereto included in most recent annual report and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K on March 13, 2018. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets; the valuation of property,

9


 

plant, and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, the valuation of assets and liabilities in connection with acquisitions, the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the valuation of inventories, and reserves for legal contingencies

Foreign Currencies

The Company operates subsidiaries in foreign countries who use the local currency as the functional currency.  The Company translates its foreign subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date and income and expense items at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from exchange rate fluctuations are recorded in the cumulative translation account, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company records gains and losses from changes in exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than each reporting location's functional currency in net income for each period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are at cost, which approximates fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The guarantee note is carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the recent issuance of the note. Our term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable interest rate plus an applicable margin and, therefore, carrying amounts approximate fair value.

The following table presents liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

In connection with the acquisition of Community Veterinary Clinics, LLC d/b/a VIP Petcare (“VIP” and such acquisition, the “VIP Acquisition”) a payment of a portion of the purchase price is structured in the form of Contingent Notes (the “Contingent Notes”) that vest based on the adjusted EBITDA  for the years ending December 31, 2018 and 2019 (“Measurement Dates”).  See Note 2 – “Business Combinations” for more information regarding the VIP Acquisition.  The Company is required to reassess the fair value of the Contingent Notes at each reporting period.

A Monte Carlo simulation method was utilized in estimating the fair value (Level 3) of the Contingent Notes. The simulation model is a numerical algorithm that generates thousands of scenarios for the future EBITDA in order to assess the probability of achieving the EBITDA hurdles. The valuation model simulates the last twelve months EBITDA from the Valuation Date to the end of each Measurement Date in one 'jump'. The Contingent Notes were valued within a

10


 

risk-neutral option pricing framework with the real growth rate adjusted for the market price of EBITDA risk. The Company used the WACC less risk-free rate as a proxy for the EBITDA risk premium.

Although the Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, different assumptions, including those regarding the operating results of the Company, or changes in the future may result in different estimated amounts.

The contingent consideration is included in Contingent Notes in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company will satisfy this obligation with a cash payment to the sellers due in July 2023 upon the achievement of the respective milestones discussed above.  The Contingent Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.75%, beginning upon the achievement of the respective milestones discussed above.

The following table summarizes the Level 3 activity related to the contingent consideration:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition. The Company maintains its cash accounts in various deposit accounts, the balances of which at times exceeded federal deposit insurance limits during the periods presented.

Receivables and Credit Policy

Trade receivables due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms generally requiring payment within 45 days from the invoice date. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer, net of discounts and estimated deductions. The Company does not have a policy for charging interest on overdue customer account balances. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable.  Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer's remittance advice.

Other receivables consists of various receivables due from vendors, banking partners, and notes receivable from suppliers.  Non-current portions of these other receivables are included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts receivable consists of the following as of:

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  Cost is typically determined using the first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method.  The Company maintains reserves for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventory based on the

11


 

difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated net realizable value.  In estimating the reserves, management considers factors such as excess or slow-moving inventories, product expiration dating, and market conditions.  Changes in these conditions may result in additional reserves.  Major components of inventories consist of the following as of:

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets, except for leasehold improvements and capital leased assets which are depreciated over the shorter of the expected useful life or the lease term. Depreciation and amortization expense is recorded in cost of sales and general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, depending on the use of the asset.  The estimated useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are as follows:

 

 

 

 

Computer equipment and software

Deferred Acquisition Liability

The Company has a deferred acquisition liability related to an acquisition that occurred in 2013.  The liability is denominated in Euros and requires annual payments based on a percentage of gross profit from the sales of certain products, and any amounts not repaid by the annual payments will be due in 2018.  The note was fully repaid in July 2018.  The current balance recorded as of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017 was $1,525 thousand and $1,575 thousand, respectively, and is included in other accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The note was fully repaid in July 2018.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, we adopted Asscounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) using the modified retrospective method as described under Adopted Accounting Standard Updates below.  As a result of the adoption of Topic 606, we have updated our accounting policy for revenue recognition as follows:

When Performance Obligations Are Satisfied

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue recognition.  A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.  The Company’s performance obligations are product sales and the delivery of veterinary services. 

 

Revenue is recognized for product sales on a point in time basis when product control is transferred to the customer.  In general, control transfers to the customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable

12


 

shipping terms, as the customer can direct the use and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset at this point in time.   

 

Revenue is recognized for services over time when the service is delivered. 

 

Customer contracts generally do not include more than one performance obligation.  When a contract does contain more than one performance obligation, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price.  The standalone selling price for each distinct good is generally determined by directly observable data.   

 

The performance obligations in our contracts are satisfied within one year. As such, we have not disclosed the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations as of June 30, 2018.

 

Significant Payment Terms

 

Our customer contracts identify the product, quantity, price, payment and final delivery terms.  Payment terms usually include early pay discounts.  We grant payment terms consistent with industry standards. Although some payment terms may be more extended, no terms beyond one year are granted at contract inception.  As a result, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component because the period between our transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and the customer’s payment for that good or service will be one year or less.

 

Shipping

 

All shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in the cost of sales.  This includes shipping and handling costs after control over a product has transferred to a customer. 

 

Variable Consideration

 

In addition to fixed contract consideration, most contracts include some form of variable consideration.  The most common forms of variable consideration include discounts, rebates and sales returns and allowances.  Variable consideration is treated as a reduction in revenue when product revenue is recognized.  Depending on the specific type of variable consideration, we use either the expected value or most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration.  We believe there will not be significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration when any related uncertainties are resolved with our customers.  The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and any recent changes in the market.  Any uncertainties in the ultimate resolution of variable consideration due to factors outside of the Company’s influence are typically resolved within a short timeframe therefore not requiring any additional constraint on the variable consideration.   

 

Trade marketing expense, consisting primarily of customer pricing allowances and merchandising funds are offered through various programs to customers and are designed to promote our products. They include the cost of in-store product displays, feature pricing in retailers' advertisements and other temporary price reductions. These programs are offered to our customers both in fixed and variable (rate per case) amounts. The ultimate cost of these programs depends on retailer performance and is subject to management estimates.

 

Certain retailers require the payment of product introductory fees in order to obtain space for the Company's products on the retailer's store shelves. This cost is typically a lump sum and is determined using the expected value based on the contract between the two parties.

 

Both trade marketing expense and product introductory fees are recognized as reductions of revenue at the time the transfer of control of the associated products occurs. Accruals for expected payouts, or amounts paid in advance, under these programs are included as other current assets or accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

13


 

Warranties & Returns

 

PetIQ provides all customers with a standard or assurance type warranty.  Either stated or implied, the Company provides assurance the related products will comply with all agreed-upon specifications and other warranties provided under the law.   No significant services beyond an assurance warranty are provided to customers. 

 

The Company does not grant a general right of return.  However, customers may return defective or non-conforming products.  Customer remedies may include either a cash refund or an exchange of the product.  As a result, the right of return and related refund liability is estimated and recorded as a reduction in revenue.  This return estimate is reviewed and updated each period and is based on historical sales and return experience. 

 

Contract balances

 

Contract asset and liability balances as of June 30, 2018 are immaterial.  The Company does not have significant deferred revenue or unbilled receivable balances because of transactions with customers.

 

Cost of Services

Cost of Services are comprised of all service and product costs related to the delivery of veterinary services, including but not limited to, salaries of veterinarians, technicians and other clinic based personnel, transportation and delivery costs, rent, occupancy costs, supply costs, depreciation and amortization of clinic assets, certain marketing and promotional expenses and costs of goods sold.

Research and Development and Advertising Costs

Research and development and advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses. Research and development costs amounted to $48 thousand and $118 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $97 thousand and $313 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  Advertising costs were $1,418 thousand and $1,134 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $2,013 thousand and $1,592 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  Advertising costs do not include trade marketing programs which are part of net sales.

 

Income taxes

The Company records a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. The Company may record a valuation allowance, if conditions are applicable, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

 

Non-controlling interest

The non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated statements of income represents the portion of earnings or loss attributable to the economic interest in the Company’s subsidiary, PetIQ Holdings, LLC, held by the non-controlling Continuing LLC Owners. Non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheet represents the portion of net assets of the Company attributable to the non-controlling Continuing LLC Owners, based on the portion of the LLC Interests owned by such LLC interest holders. All operations were considered owned by non-controlling interest for the three months ended June 30, 2017 or the remaining period prior to the IPO on July 20, 2017 because the Company operated as Opco during those periods. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the non-controlling interest was approximately 35.2% and 38.5%, respectively.

14


 

Litigation

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims, litigation, investigations and contingencies arising out of the ordinary course of business. If the likelihood of an adverse legal outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of loss is estimable, then a liability is accrued in accordance with accounting guidance for contingencies.  The company consults with both internal and external legal counsel related to litigation.

 

Adopted Accounting Standard Updates

 

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective approach.  Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company is required to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018, the date of initial application.  The cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 was immaterial to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In conjunction with adoption of Topic 606, the Company updated its significant accounting policy related to revenue recognition.  The Company’s previous revenue recognition policy was disclosed in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Results for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2018 is presented under Topic 606.  Prior periods are not adjusted and will continue to be reported in accordance with ASC 605 Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”).  The following tables summarize the impacts of adopting Topic 606 on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU is a comprehensive new lease standard that was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This standard requires adoption based upon a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with optional practical expedients.   Based on a preliminary assessment, the Company expects that most of its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new guidance and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption, resulting in an increase in the assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.  The Company is continuing its assessment, which may identify additional impacts this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05Income Taxes (Topic 740), Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. The amendments add various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the

16


 

issuance of SEC Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Act”) (“SAB 118”). The SEC issued SAB 118 to address concerns about reporting entities’ ability to timely comply with the accounting requirements to recognize all of the effects of the Act in the period of enactment. SAB 118 allows disclosure that timely determination of some or all of the income tax effects from the Act are incomplete by the due date of the financial statements and if possible to provide a reasonable estimate. The Company has provided a reasonable estimate in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

Note 2 – Business Combination

 

On January 17, 2018 PetIQ, Inc. completed the acquisition of VIP from VIP Holdings, LLC (“VIPH” or the “Sellers”). VIP is a provider of veterinary wellness and pet preventive services as well as a distributor of pet wellness products and medications.  The total purchase price was approximately $198 million, net of cash acquired and the effective settlement of pre-existing payables between the Company and VIP at cost which approximates fair value, and was funded through a combination of cash on hand, borrowings under a new $75 million term loan, a $10 million note payable, two $10 million contingent notes, payable upon the achievement of certain combined Company EBITDA targets, and equity consideration consisting of 4.2 million LLC interests of PetIQ Holdings, LLC (the “LLC Interests”) and 4.2 million shares of Class B common stock of  the Company.

 

The estimate of fair value and purchase price allocation were based on information available at the time of closing the VIP Acquisition and the Company continues to evaluate the underlying inputs and assumptions that are being used in fair value estimates.  In addition, the Company is in process of finalizing the net working capital adjustment.  Accordingly, these preliminary estimates are subject to retrospective adjustments during the measurement period, not to exceed one year, based upon new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the date of closing the VIP Acquisition.   The preliminary estimated fair value of the consideration is summarized as follows:

During the period we adjusted purchase price allocation as a result of receiving certain information, which existed as of the date of acquisition. This information impacted our working capital adjustment as well as the projected operating results used in estimating the fair value of intangible assets and contingent notes. We are currently waiting for a final valuation report and other information needed to finalize our purchase price allocation. Additionally, we are waiting for

information needed to finalize our working capital adjustment which could affect the recorded purchase consideration and goodwill

 

The definite-lived intangibles primarily relate to customer relationships and brand names. The $85.9 million represents the fair value and will be amortized on a straight-line basis through January 2038. Amortization expense for these definite-lived intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $1.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The estimated future amortization expense is approximately $2.4 million for the remainder of 2018, and $4.8 million annually thereafter.

 

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits that do not qualify for separate recognition and primarily includes the assembled workforce and other non-contractual relationships, as well as expected future synergies. Approximately $54 million of the $113.4 million of goodwill will not be tax deductible, and the remaining balance is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.  Goodwill was allocated to the Products and Services segments and as shown in Note 4.

Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations (Unaudited)

 

The following unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations presents the Company's operations as if the VIP Acquisition and related financing activities had occurred on January 1, 2017. The pro forma information includes the following adjustments (i) amortization of acquired definite-lived intangible assets; (ii) depreciation based on the fair value of acquired property and equipment; (iii) costs of goods sold based on the fair value of acquired inventory; (iv) interest expense incurred in connection with the term loan and guaranteed note borrowings used to finance the acquisition; (v) inclusion of equity-based compensation expense associated with equity awards granted to certain VIP employees in connection with the acquisition; (vi) elimination of acquisition expenses; and (vii) VIP’s operations for the periods from January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017 and January 1, 2018 to January 16, 2018.

Note 5 – Debt

A&R Credit Agreement

In connection with the VIP Acquisition, the Company amended and restated its existing revolving credit agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”) on January 17, 2018.  The A&R Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility of $50 million in the aggregate, at either LIBOR or Base (prime) interest rates plus an applicable margin.  The A&R Credit Agreement matures on January 17, 2023.

  

19


 

All obligations under the A&R Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdco and each of its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries and, subject to certain exceptions, each of its material current and future domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries. All obligations under the A&R Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of each borrower and guarantor under the A&R Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

 

Also in connection with the closing of the VIP Acquisition, the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”).  The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for a secured term loan credit facility of $75 million in aggregate at either LIBOR or Base (prime) interest rates plus an applicable margin.  The Term Loan Credit Agreement requires quarterly principal payments, with the full balance due on January 17, 2023.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $23 million outstanding under the A&R Credit Agreement and $75 million under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The interest rate on the A&R Credit Agreement was 5.00% as a Base Rate loan, the interest rate on the Term Loan Credit Agreement was 7.23% as a LIBOR rate loan.  The A&R Credit Agreement contains a lockbox mechanism.

The A&R Credit Agreement and Term Loan Credit Agreement contain certain covenants and restrictions including a fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum EBITDA target and is secured by collateral consisting of a percentage of eligible accounts receivable, inventories, and machinery and equipment. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Prior Credit Agreement

The Company entered into a previous credit agreement (“Prior Credit Agreement”) on December 21, 2016.  The Prior Credit Agreement provided for secured financing of $50.0 million in aggregate at either LIBOR or Base (prime) interest rates plus an applicable margin, consisting of:

(i) $45.0 million revolving credit facility (“Prior Revolver”) maturing on December 16, 2019; and

(ii) $5.0 million term loan (“Prior Term Loans”), requiring equal amortizing payments for 24 months.

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had fully repaid the Prior Term Loans and had $15.3 million outstanding under the Prior Revolver. The interest rate on the Prior Revolver was 5.00% as a Base Rate loan.  All amounts outstanding under the Prior Revolver were repaid in connection with the A&R Credit Agreement.

Other Debt

The Company entered into a mortgage with a local bank to finance $1.9 million of the purchase price of a commercial building in Eagle, Idaho, in July 2017.  The mortgage bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.35% and utilizes a 25 year amortization schedule with a 10 year balloon payment of the balance due at that time. 

In connection with the VIP Acquisition, the Company entered into a guarantee note which requires the Company to pay $10.0 million on July 17, 2023.  The note bears interest at a fixed 6.75% and requires quarterly interest payments.

Note 6 –  Leases

The Company leases certain real estate for commercial, production, and retail purposes, as well as equipment from third parties. Lease expiration dates are between 2018 and 2025.  A portion of capital leases are denominated in foreign currencies.  Many of these leases include renewal options and in some cases options to purchase.

Note 7 – Income Tax

As a result of the IPO and related reorganization transactions completed in July 2017, the Company held a majority of the economic interest in Holdco and consolidates the financial position and results of Holdco.  The remaining ownership of Holdco not held by the Company is considered a non-controlling interest.  Holdco is treated as a partnership for income tax reporting.  Holdco’s members, including the Company, are liable for federal, state, and local income taxes based on their share of Holdco’s taxable income. 

On December 22, 2017, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) was signed into law. The TCJA includes a number of provisions, including (1) the lowering of the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent; (2) elimination of the corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT); (3) a general elimination of U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries; (4) a new provision designed to tax global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), which allows for the possibility of using foreign tax credits (FTCs) and a deduction of up to 50 percent to offset the income tax liability (subject to some limitations); (5)  a new limitation on deductible interest expense; (6) the repeal of the domestic production activity deduction; and (7) limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation.

 

Our effective tax rate (ETR) from continuing operations was 16% and (3.3)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and zero percent and zero percent for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Income tax expense for the six months of 2018 was different than the U.S federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of the non-controlling interest income that is not taxable. In 2017, the income expense was different than the U.S Federal statutory income tax rate of 35% due to Holdco being a partnership and not being taxed.

 

As noted at year-end, the Company was able to reasonably estimate certain TCJA effects and, therefore, recorded provisional adjustments associated with the deemed repatriation transition tax and remeasurement of certain deferred tax asset and liabilities. As of June 30, 2018, our accounting for the TCJA is incomplete and the previously disclosed provisional amounts (transition tax and remeasurement of deferred taxes) continue to be provisional. The Company has not made any additional measurement-period adjustments related to transition tax during 2018, because the Company has not yet completed the calculation of the total post-1986 Earnings and Profits (“E&P”) for these foreign subsidiaries. This amount may change when the Company finalizes the calculation of post-1986 foreign E&P previously deferred from U.S. federal taxation and finalize the amounts held in cash or other specified assets. The Company is continuing to gather additional information to complete our accounting for these items and expect to complete our accounting within the prescribed measurement period.

 

HoldCo makes cash distributions to members to pay taxes attributable to the income earned.  In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company made cash distributions of $32 thousand and $574 thousand, respectively.  In the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company did not make cash distributions. 

Due to the complexity of the new Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) tax rules, the Company is continuing to evaluate this provision of the TCJA and the application of ASC 740. Under U.S. GAAP, we are allowed to make an accounting policy choice of either (1) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or (2) factoring such amounts into a company’s measurement of its deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). Our selection of an accounting policy related to the new GILTI tax rules will depend on a number of different aspects of the estimated long-term effects of this provision under the TCJA. Therefore, we have not recorded any potential deferred tax effects related to GILTI in our financial statements and have not made a policy decision regarding whether to record deferred taxes on GILTI or use the period cost method. We have, however, included an estimate of the estimated 2018 current GILTI impact in our average effective tax rate for 2018.

Note 8 – Earnings per Share

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income available to PetIQ, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income available to PetIQ, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.

 

As described in Note 10 — Stockholders’ Equity, on July 20, 2017, the PetIQ Holdings, LLC Agreement (“LLC Agreement”) was amended and restated to, among other things, (i) provide for a new single class of common membership interests, the LLC Interests of Holdco, and (ii) exchange all of the then-existing membership interests of the Continuing LLC Owners for common units of Holdco. This recapitalization changed the relative membership rights of the Continuing LLC Owners such that retroactive application of the recapitalization to periods prior to the IPO for the purposes of calculating earnings per share would not be appropriate.

 

Prior to the IPO, the PetIQ, LLC membership structure included several different types of LLC interests including ownership interests and profits interests. The Company analyzed the calculation of earnings per unit for periods prior to the IPO using the two-class method and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of these consolidated financial statements. Therefore, earnings per share information has not been presented for periods prior to the IPO on July 20, 2017.

 

The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock:

Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, shares of the Company’s Class B common stock as well as 1,039,004 stock options and restricted stock units have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as they have been determined to be anti-dilutive under the if-converted method and treasury stock method, respectively.

Note 9 – Stock Based Compensation

 

PetIQ, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan

The PetIQ, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of various equity-based incentive awards to directors of the Company, employees, and consultants. The types of equity-based awards that may be granted under the Plan include: stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), and other stock-based awards. The Company initially reserved 1,914,047 registered shares of Class A common stock for issuance under the Plan. As of June 30, 2018, 880,129 shares were available for issuance under the Plan.  All awards issued under the Plan may only be settled in shares of Class A common stock.

 

PetIQ, Inc. 2018 Inducement and Retention Stock Plan for CVC Employees

The PetIQ, Inc. 2018 Inducement and Retention Stock Plan for CVC Employees (the “Inducement Plan”) provides for the grant of stock options to employees hired in connection with the VIP Acquisition as employment inducement awards pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).  The Inducement Plan reserved 800,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company.  As of June 30, 2018, 610,000 shares were available for issuance under the Inducement Plan.  All awards issued under the Plan may only be settled in shares of Class A common stock.

 

Stock Options

The Company awards stock options to certain employees and directors under the Plan and the Inducement Plan, which are subject to time-based vesting conditions, typically 25% on each anniversary of the grant date until fully vested.  Upon a termination of service relationship by the Company, all unvested options will be forfeited and the shares of common stock underlying such awards will become available for issuance under the Plan. The maximum contractual term for stock options is 10 years.

 

The fair value of these equity awards is amortized to equity based compensation expense over the vesting period, which totaled $736 thousand and $1,434 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.  All stock based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses based on the role of recipients.  The fair value of the stock option awards were determined on the grant dates using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on the following weighted-average assumptions for the period ended June 30, 2018:

(1)

The Company utilized the simplified method to determine the expected term of the stock options since we do not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.

(2)

The expected volatility assumption was calculated based on a peer group analysis of stock price volatility with a look back period consistent with the expected option term.

(3)

The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant, which corresponds to the expected term of the stock options.

(4)

The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying a cash dividend on our common stock

There were no grants issued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the period ended June 30, 2018 was $10.02 per option. At June 30, 2018, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $10.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.3 years. 

 

Restricted Stock Units

The Company awards RSUs to certain employees and directors under the Plan, which are subject to time-based vesting conditions.  Upon a termination of service relationship by the Company, all unvested RSUs will be forfeited and the shares of common stock underlying such awards will become available for issuance under the Plan. The fair value of RSUs are measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.  At June 30, 2018, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs was $190 thousand and is expected to vest over a weighted average 1.6 years.

 

The fair value of these equity awards is amortized to equity based compensation expense over the vesting period, which totaled $18 thousand and $20 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.  All stock based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses based on the role of recipients.

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation Contingencies

In May 2017, Bayer Healthcare LLC and its affiliates (collectively “Bayer”) filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, against CAP IM Supply, Inc. (“CAP IM”), our supplier of Advecta 3 and PetLock MAX, which we began to sell in 2017 as our value-branded alternatives to Bayer’s K9 Advantix II. Bayer alleges that Advecta 3 and PetLock MAX infringe a patent relating to K9 Advantix II. Bayer seeks unspecified monetary damages and an injunction against future sales by CAP IM of Advecta 3 and PetLock MAX to the Company. Bayer sought, and was denied, a preliminary injunction.  Although we have not been named in the suit, our license and supply agreement with CAP IM requires us to share with CAP IM the payment of defense and settlement costs of such litigation and allows us to control the defense of the proceeding. CAP IM intends to vigorously defend this case and we believe that CAP IM has meritorious defenses. However, because of the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we can provide no assurance of an outcome favorable to CAP IM and to us. 

In April 2018, Med Vets, Inc. and  Bay Medical Solutions Inc., filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against PetIQ, Inc. and VIP Petcare Holdings, Inc. for alleged unlawful merger and other antitrust violations.  The plaintiffs’ sought unspecified monetary damages, and various injunctive relief, including an order to require PetIQ to divest its interests in VIP.  We filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.  On August 3, 2018 the Court granted our Motion to Dismiss the Complaint.

The Company records a liability when a particular contingency is probable and estimable and provides disclosure for contingencies that are at least reasonably possible of resulting in a loss including an estimate which we currently cannot make.  The Company has not accrued for any contingency at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, as the Company

26


 

does not consider any contingency to be probable or estimable.  The Company expenses legal costs as incurred within general and administrative expenses on the consolidated condensed statements of operations.

Note 14 – Segments

Prior to January 17, 2018, The Company had two operating segments, and thus two reportable segments, which were the procurement, packaging, and distribution of pet health and wellness products in the Domestic markets (U.S. and Canada) and in the International markets (primarily Europe). The determination of the operating segments was based on the level at which the Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews discrete financial information to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions, which was done based on these two geographic areas. 

In connection with our acquisition of VIP, the Company reorganized operations to correspond with the structure of the Company.  The Company now operates the Product and Service segments.  The Product segment consists of legacy PetIQ Domestic and International segments plus VIP’s product distribution business.  Services represents all veterinary services, and related product sales, provided by the Company directly to consumers. The segments are based on the discrete financial information reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to make resource allocation decisions and to evaluate performance.  Certain corporate costs are not included in this analysis, such as accounting, legal, human resources, information technology and corporate headquarters expenses.  Additionally certain expense types are allocated to the corporate portion of the Company, such as stock based compensation, amortization expense on intangible assets, interest expense, foreign currency exchange adjustments, and income taxes.  All prior period disclosures have been restated to reflect these new reportable operating segments.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following is a discussion of our results of operations and current financial condition. This should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q and our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and related notes included in the annual report  for PetIQ, Inc., filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs and involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. See “-Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Our Business

Overview

PetIQ is a rapidly growing pet health and wellness company providing convenient access and affordable choices to a broad portfolio of veterinarian-recommended pet health and wellness products across a network of leading national retail stores, including more than 40,000 retail pharmacy locations. PetIQ believes that pets are an important part of the family and deserve the best pet care we can give them. Through our retail relationships, we encourage pet owners to regularly visit their veterinarian and educate them about the importance of veterinarian-grade products.  During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we completed the acquisition of VIP Petcare.  Through VIP, we provide veterinary services to pet owners in over 39 states. 

 

On January 17, 2018, we acquired Community Veterinary Clinics, LLC d/b/a VIP Petcare (“VIP,” and such acquisition, the “VIP Acquisition”). The aggregate consideration, comprised of (i) $100 million in cash (ii) 4,200,000 membership units of Holdings (the “LLC Interests”) and 4,200,000 shares of Class B common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Class B Issuance” and together with the LLC Interests, the “Equity Consideration”) and (iii) promissory notes consisting of (A) a $10.0 million note payable 5 years and 6 months after the closing, which shall accrue interest quarterly in arrears at a rate of 6.75% per annum and (B) two $10 million contingent notes, payable upon the achievement of certain combined Company EBITDA targets for 2018 and 2019, which, if payable, shall accrue interest quarterly in arrears at a rate of 6.75% per annum beginning once earned.

 

We are the sole managing member of PetIQ Holdings, LLC ("Holdco"), a Delaware limited liability company, which is the sole member of PetIQ, LLC ("Opco") and, through Holdco, operate and control all of the business and affairs of Opco and conduct the business now conducted by Opco and its subsidiaries.

 

Our sales occur predominantly in the U.S. and Canada. Approximately 99% and 98% of our three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, net sales were generated from customers located in the United States and Canada, with the remaining sales generated from other foreign locations. We have two reporting segments: (i) Products; and (ii) Services. This is based on the level at which the chief operating decision maker reviews the results of operations to make decisions regarding performance assessment and resource allocation. 

 

Results of Operations

Components of our Results of Operations

 

Net Sales

 

Our product net sales consist of our total sales net of product returns, allowances (discounts), trade promotions and incentives. We offer a variety of trade promotions and incentives to our customers, such as cooperative advertising programs and in‑store displays. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, in accordance with the terms of our contracts, which generally occurs upon shipment of product, when the price is fixed or determinable and when collectability is reasonably assured. Trade promotions are used to increase our aggregate net sales. Our net sales are periodically influenced by the timing, extent and amount of such trade promotions and incentives.

29


 

Key factors that may affect our future sales growth include: new product introductions; expansion into e-commerce and other customer bases; expansion of items sold to existing customers, addition of new retail customers and to maintain pricing levels necessary for profitability; aggressive pricing by our competitors; and whether we can maintain and develop positive relationships with key retail customers.

Our products are primarily consumables and, as such, they experience a replenishment cycle.

 

Our service revenue consists of providing veterinary services for consumers and selling products to the consumer in conjunction with those services.  The customer renders payment at the time the service is rendered.

 

While many of our products are sold consistently throughout the year, we experience seasonality in the form of increased retailer demand for our flea and tick product offerings in the first two quarters of the year in preparation for increased consumer demand during the summer months.  Additionally our veterinary services experience seasonality as consumers typically seek more services in the warmer months. 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit is our net product sales plus service revenue less cost of product sales and services. Our cost of product sales consists primarily of costs of raw goods, finished goods packaging materials, manufacturing, shipping and handling costs and costs associated with our warehouses and distribution network. Cost of services are comprised of all service and product costs related to providing veterinary services, including but not limited to, salaries of veterinarians, technicians and other clinic based personnel, transportation and delivery costs, facilities rent, occupancy costs, supply costs, depreciation and amortization of clinic assets, certain marketing and promotional expenses and costs of goods sold. 

Gross margin measures our gross profit as a percentage of net sales. With respect to our proprietary products, we have a manufacturing network that includes leased manufacturing facilities where we manufacture finished goods, as well as third-party contract manufacturing facilities from which we purchase finished products predominately on a dollar-per-unit basis. The gross margin on our proprietary value-branded products is higher than on our distributed products. For distributed products, our costs are driven largely by whether we source the product direct from the manufacturer or a licensed distributor. Gross profit in the services segment is driven by the number of pets that seek services in the individual clinics due to the relatively fixed cost nature of providing the clinic.

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of employee compensation and benefits expenses, sales and merchandizing expenses, advertising and marketing expenses, rent and lease expenses, IT and utilities expenses, professional fees, insurance costs, R&D costs, host fees, banking charges, and consulting fees. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales have increased from 10.8% in the first six months of 2017 to 12.5% in the first six months of 2018, primarily driven by charges associated with the VIP Acquisition.  In addition to costs directly related to the VIP Acquisition, we acquired the corporate overhead that we are currently integrating into the consolidated company. In the future, we expect our general and administrative expenses to grow at a slower rate than our net sales growth as we leverage our past investments.

Our advertising and marketing expenses primarily consist of digital marketing (e.g. search engine optimization, pay-per-click, content marketing, etc.), social media, in-store merchandising and trade shows in an effort to promote our brands and build awareness.  These expenses may vary from quarter to quarter but typically they are higher in the second and third quarters. We expect our marketing and advertising expenses to decrease as a percentage of net sales as we continue to concentrate campaigns to relevant markets, as well as shift spending towards in-store marketing and customer trade-supported programs.

30


 

Net Income

 

Our net income for future periods will be affected by the various factors described above. In addition, our historical results prior to the IPO benefit from insignificant income taxes due to Opco’s status as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and we anticipate future results will not be consistent as our net income will be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared With Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net sales

Product sales increased $61.5 million or 70.5%, to $148.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $87.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was driven by expanding item count at existing customers of existing items, as well as growth in new customers, primarily from the VIP Acquisition.  Revenues were also impacted by the adoption of ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), which reduced revenue by $5.3 million relative to past practice, this revenue will be recognized in later periods when certain criteria are met.  See Note 1 – “Principal Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies” to the Condensed Consolidated Financials for more information regarding the adoption of ASC 606.

Service revenue was $22.4M, with no comparable revenue in 2017.  The VIP Acquisition in January 2018 led to the addition of services revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2018. 

Gross profit

Gross profit increased by $10.4 million, or 65%, to $26.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $16.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.  This increase is due to the significant sales growth, offset by the growth occurring in lower margin items as well as increased trade expenditures which reduces net sales. 

Gross margin decreased to 15.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, from 18.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $7.7 million or 83% to $17.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $9.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase reflects:

·

VIP acquisition related costs of $0.2 million;

·

Increased amortization of $1.0 million on acquired intangible assets;

·

Increased legal, accounting, and related costs as part of being a public company;

·

increased compensation expense to support overall growth, the addition of our stock based compensation plan and related grants; and

·

the addition of the VIP corporate overhead that oversees the Services segment.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net increased $1.7 million, or 314%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was driven by the new debt agreement entered into to finance the VIP Acquisition as well as higher amounts outstanding on the revolving credit facility during the quarter compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Other expense, net

Other expense, net,  increased $0.9 million to $0.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $3,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017.  This is due to a fair value adjustment to the contingent notes entered into as part of the VIP Acquisition as well as a settlement entered into related to a royalty agreement. 

Pre-tax net income

 

As a result of the factors above, pre-tax net income increased $0.3 million to $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to pre-tax net income of $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. 

32


 

Provision for income taxes

 

Our effective tax rate was 16% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, with a tax expense of $1.0 million.  The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of the non-controlling interest income that is not taxable and the new Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) income inclusion.  Prior to our IPO in July 2017, the Company was treated as a partnership, thus did not have income tax expense.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared With Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net sales

Product sales increased $92.4 million or 60%, to $246.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $154.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was driven primarily by expanding item count at existing customers of existing items, as well as growth in new customers, primarily from the VIP Acquisition.  Revenues were also impacted by the adoption of ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), which reduced revenue by $5.9 million relative to past practice, this revenue will be recognized in later periods when certain criteria are met.  See Note 1 – Principal Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies to the Condensed Consolidated Financials for more information regarding the adoption of ASC 606.

Service revenue was $39.6 million, with no comparable revenue in 2017.  The VIP Acquisition in January 2018 led to the addition of the services revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2018. 

Gross profit

Gross profit increased by $14.1 million, or 50%, to $42.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $28.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.  This increase is due to the significant sales growth, offset by the growth occurring in lower margin items as well increased trade expenditures which reduces net sales. 

Additionally, margin was impacted by the purchase accounting adjustment of $1.5 million to fair value inventory as well as significant new wellness center openings.  Gross margin decreased to 14.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, from 18.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $19.2 million or 115% to $35.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $16.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase reflects:

·

VIP Acquisition related costs of $3.4 million;

·

Increased amortization of $2.2 million on acquired intangible assets;

·

Increased legal, accounting, and related costs as part of being a public company;

·

increased compensation expense to support overall growth, the addition of our stock based compensation plan and related grants; and

·

the addition of the VIP corporate overhead that oversees the Services segment.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net increased $3.0 million, or 300.0%, to $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was driven by the new debt agreement entered into to finance the VIP Acquisition as well as higher amounts outstanding on the revolving credit facility during the quarter compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017.

33


 

Other expense, net

Other expense, net,  increased to $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to zero for the six months ended June 30, 2017.  This is due to a fair value adjustment to the contingent notes entered into as part of the VIP Acquisition and a royalty settlement. 

Pre-tax net income

 

As a result of the factors above, pre-tax net income decreased $9.0 million to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to pre-tax net income of $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. 

Provision for income taxes

 

Our effective tax rate was (3.4%) for the six months ended June 30, 2018, with a tax benefit of $0.05 million.  Prior to our IPO in July 2017, the Company was treated as a partnership, thus did not have income tax expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA represents net income before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus acquisition costs, stock based compensation expense, purchase accounting  inventory adjustment, fair value adjustment to contingent consideration, new clinic launch expenses, integration and costs of discontinued clinics, and management fees. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts for transactions that management does not believe are representative of our core ongoing business. Adjusted EBITDA is utilized by management: (i) as a factor in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation and (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies.

The Company presents EBITDA because it is a necessary component for computing Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. In addition, you should be aware when evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA that in the future we may incur expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these or other unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies do not calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.

Our management does not, and you should not, consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements. Some of these limitations are:

·

EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

·

EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

·

EBITDA does not reflect the interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;

·

although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing core operations; and

34


 

·

Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. You should review the reconciliations of net (loss) income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

The following table reconciles net (loss) income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, borrowings, and equity contributions. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents were $11.7 million and $37.9 million respectively. As of June 30, 2018, we had $23.5 million outstanding under a revolving credit facility, $75 million under a term loan, $10 million due under a guaranteed note, and $1.9 million outstanding under a mortgage.  The debt agreements bear interest at rates between 4.35% and 7.23%.

35


 

Our primary cash needs are for working capital. Our maintenance capital expenditures have typically been less than 1.0% of net sales, but we may make additional capital expenditures as necessary to support our growth, such as the investment in additional veterinary clinics. Our primary working capital requirements are to carry inventory and receivable levels necessary to support our increasing net sales. Fluctuations in working capital are primarily driven by the timing of new product launches and seasonal retailer demand. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $73.6 million and $90.7 million, respectively.

We believe that our operating cash flow, cash on hand, and debt proceeds from our borrowings under our credit facility will be adequate to meet our operating, investing, and financing needs for the foreseeable future. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that they will be obtained through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of funds, although we can provide no assurance that these sources of funding will be available on reasonable terms.

Cash Flows

Cash used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to cash used in operating activities of $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The change in operating cash flows primarily reflects lower earnings, offset partially by high non cash items such as depreciation and amortization.  Working capital uses are driven by increased accounts receivable resulting from our growing sales and higher inventory to support growing net sales.  Net changes in assets and liabilities accounted for $18.2 million in cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $19.2 million of cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Cash used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $96.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in net cash used in investing activities is a result of the VIP Acquisition as well as growth in capital expenditures.

Cash provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $79.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $8.0 million in net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017.  This increase in cash provided by financing activities is primarily driven by the Company’s new debt taken out to finance the VIP Acquisition.

Description of Indebtedness

A&R Credit Agreement

In connection with the VIP Acquisition, the Company amended and restated its existing revolving credit agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”) on January 17, 2018.  The A&R Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility of $50 million in the aggregate, at either LIBOR or Base (prime) interest rates plus an applicable margin.  The A&R Credit Agreement matures on January 17, 2023. On August 9, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the A&R Credit Agreement to increase the revolving credit facility to $75 million in aggregate.

  

All obligations under the A&R Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdco and each of its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries and, subject to certain exceptions, each of its material current and future domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries. All obligations under the A&R Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of each borrower and guarantor under the A&R Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

 

Also in connection with the closing of the VIP Acquisition, the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”).  The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for a secured term loan credit facility of

36


 

$75 million in aggregate at either LIBOR or Base (prime) interest rates plus an applicable margin.  The Term Loan Credit Agreement requires quarterly principal payments, with the full balance due on January 17, 2023.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $23 million outstanding under the A&R Credit Agreement and $75 million under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The interest rate on the A&R Credit Agreement was 5.00% as a Base Rate loan, the interest rate on the Term Loan Credit Agreement was 7.23% as a LIBOR rate loan.  The A&R Credit Agreement contains a lockbox mechanism.

The A&R Credit Agreement and Term Loan Credit Agreement contain certain covenants and restrictions including a fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum EBITDA target and is secured by collateral consisting of a percentage of eligible accounts receivable, inventories, and machinery and equipment. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Prior Credit Agreement

The Company entered into a previous credit agreement (“Prior Credit Agreement”) on December 21, 2016.  The Prior Credit Agreement provided for secured financing of $50.0 million in aggregate at either LIBOR or Base (prime) interest rates plus an applicable margin, consisting of:

(i) $45.0 million revolving credit facility (“Prior Revolver”) maturing on December 16, 2019; and

(ii) $5.0 million term loan (“Prior Term Loans”), requiring equal amortizing payments for 24 months.

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had fully repaid the Prior Term Loans and had $15.3 million outstanding under the Prior Revolver. The interest rate on the Prior Revolver was 5.00% as a Base Rate loan.  All amounts outstanding under the Prior Revolver were repaid in connection with the A&R Credit Agreement.

Other Debt

The Company entered into a mortgage with a local bank to finance $1.9 million of the purchase price of a commercial building in Eagle, Idaho, in July 2017.  The mortgage bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.35% and utilizes a 25 year amortization schedule with a 10 year balloon payment of the balance due at that time. 

In connection with the VIP Acquisition, the Company entered into a guarantee note which requires the Company to pay $10.0 million on July 17, 2023.  The note bears interest at a fixed 6.75% and requires quarterly interest payments. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions in the normal course of our business. Such risk is principally associated with interest rates. We currently do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to changes in interest rates because the indebtedness incurred under our New Credit Agreement is variable rate debt. Interest rate changes generally do not affect the market value of our credit agreement but do affect the amount of our interest payments and, therefore, our future earnings and cash flows. As of June 30, 2018, we had variable rate debt of approximately $98.5 million under our Revolver and Term Loan. An increase of 1% would have increased our interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 by approximately $445 thousand.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Internal Control over Financing Reporting

As we are an emerging growth company and a newly public company, we have not prepared a formal management’s report on internal control over financial reporting, as would otherwise be required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, nor have we engaged an independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of our internal control over financial reporting as of any balance sheet date in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will first be subject to management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting in connection with the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 and we will not be required to have an independent registered public accounting firm attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until the filing of our first Annual Report on Form 10-K after we lose emerging growth company status.  We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: the last day of the year in which we have $1.07 billion or more in annual net sales, the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates as of the last day of our most recently completed second quarter; the issuance, in any three-year period, by us of more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities; or December 31, 2022.  Accordingly, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

As discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, we completed the acquisition of Community Veterinary Clinics LLC and Subsidiaries d/b/a VIP Petcare “VIP” from VIP Holdings, LLC, on January 17, 2018.  As part of our post-closing integration activities, we are engaged in the process of assessing the internal controls of VIP.  As permitted by interpretive guidance for newly acquired businesses issued by SEC staff, management has excluded VIP’s internal control over financial reporting from the evaluation of the Company’s effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2018.  As outlined in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report, total assets of VIP included in the Company’s preliminary purchase price allocation were approximately $25 million, and total VIP revenues were approximately $40 million for the period from the acquisition date to June 30, 2018.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”).  The adoption of Topic 606 had an immaterial impact on our financial statements, however we implemented certain changes to our revenue recognition related control activities to enhance policies and periodic review procedures to incorporate specific Topic 606 considerations.

 

38


 

Additionally, in relation to the closing of the VIP acquisition, noted in the section above, management implemented changes to internal control activities, including enhanced policies and review procedures pertaining to the use of valuation service providers, opening balance sheet determination, intercompany transactions, and segment reporting.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements about our plans, objectives, expectations, assumptions or future events. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could” and similar expressions.  Examples of forward-looking statements include, without limitation:

·

statements regarding our strategies, results of operations or liquidity;

·

statements concerning projections, predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts as to our business, financial and operational results and future economic performance;

·

statements of management’s goals and objectives; and

·

assumptions underlying statements regarding us or our business.

Forward-looking statements involve estimates, assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performances, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made or managements good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to, factors discussed under the headings Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations our ability to successfully grow our business through acquisitions; our ability to integrate, manage and expand VIPs business; and our dependency on a limited number of customers; our ability to implement our growth strategy effectively; our ability to achieve or sustain profitability; competition from veterinarians and others in our industry; reputational damage to our brands; economic trends and spending on pets; our ability to open new retail clinics; failure to effectively execute on our Services segment rationalization plans;the effectiveness of our marketing and trade promotion programs; recalls or withdrawals of our products or product liability claims; our ability to manage our manufacturing and supply chain effectively; disruptions in our manufacturing and distribution chains; our ability to introduce new products and improve existing products; our failure to protect our intellectual property; costs associated with governmental regulation; our ability to keep and retain key employees; and the risks set forth under the Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and Quarterly Report on 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2018.  

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.  The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Consequently, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

In May 2017, Bayer Healthcare LLC and its affiliates (collectively “Bayer”) filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, against CAP IM Supply, Inc. (“CAP IM”), our supplier of Advecta 3 and PetLock MAX, which we began to sell in 2017 as our value-branded alternatives to Bayer’s K9 Advantix II. Bayer alleges that Advecta 3 and PetLock MAX infringe a patent relating to K9 Advantix II. Bayer seeks unspecified monetary damages and an injunction against future sales by CAP IM of Advecta 3 and PetLock MAX to the Company. Bayer sought, and was denied, a preliminary injunction.  Although we have not been named in the suit, our license and supply agreement with CAP IM requires us to share with CAP IM the payment of defense and settlement costs of such litigation and allows us to control the defense of the proceeding. CAP IM intends to vigorously defend this case and we believe that CAP IM has meritorious defenses. However, because of the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we can provide no assurance of an outcome favorable to CAP IM and to us. 

In April 2018, Med Vets, Inc. and  Bay Medical Solutions Inc., filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against PetIQ, Inc. and VIP Petcare Holdings, Inc. for alleged unlawful merger and other antitrust violations.  The plaintiffs’ sought unspecified monetary damages, and various injunctive relief, including an order to require PetIQ to divest its interests in VIP.  We filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.  On August 3, 2018 the Court granted our Motion to Dismiss the Complaint

We are from time to time subject to, and are presently involved in, litigation and other proceedings. Other than the litigation described above, we believe that there are no pending lawsuits or claims that, individually or in the aggregate, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and our quarterly report on 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2018.
