Delray Beach, Florida, October 22, 2018 - PetMed Express, Inc. (NASDAQ: PETS) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 were $71.4 million, compared to $66.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, an increase of 7.0%. Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2018 were $158.8 million, compared to $146.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of 8.5%. Net income was $10.8 million, or $0.52 diluted per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared to net income of $8.8 million, or $0.43 diluted per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, a 23% increase to net income. Net income for the six months ended September 30, 2018 was $23.3 million, or $1.14 diluted per share, compared to net income of $18.0 million, or $0.88 diluted per share, for the six months ended September 30, 2017, a 29% increase to net income. Reorder sales increased 11%, to $61.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared to $55.1 million for the same quarter in the prior year. The Company’s online sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 were approximately 85% of all sales compared to 84% for the same quarter the prior year, with online sales increasing 7.4%.

 

Menderes Akdag, CEO and President, commented: “We were pleased with our net income and reorder sales growth for the quarter. The increase to net income for the quarter can be attributed to increased revenues, which increased gross profit by approximately $1.8 million. In addition, our net income growth was boosted by the Tax Reform Act of 2017, due to a decline in our federal tax rate from 35% to 21%. We expect our effective tax rate in fiscal 2019 to be approximately 24%. Average order value increased to $87 for the quarter compared to $85 for the same quarter the prior year. Net cash from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $20.4 million, compared to $18.3 million for the same period last year. For the remainder of fiscal 2019 we will continue to focus on sales growth and improving our service levels.”

 

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share on the Company’s common stock. The dividend will be payable on November 16, 2018, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 5, 2018. The Company intends to continue to pay regular quarterly dividends; however, the declaration and payment of future dividends is discretionary and will be subject to a determination by the Board of Directors each quarter following its review of the Company’s financial performance.
