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 is a leading pet medication and wellness company delivering a smarter way for pet parents to help their pets live their best lives through convenient access to affordable veterinary products and services. We engage with customers through more than 60,000 points of distribution across retail, including veterinary, and e-commerce channels with our branded distributed medications, which is further supported by our own world-class medication manufacturing facility in Omaha, Nebraska. Our national service platform, VIP Petcare (“VIP”), operates in over 3,400 retail partner locations in 41 states, providing cost effective and convenient veterinary wellness services. PetIQ believes that pets are an important part of the family and deserve the best products and care we can give them.

We have two reporting segments: (i) Products; and (ii) Services. The Products segment consists of our manufacturing and distribution business. The Services segments consists of veterinary services, and related product sales, provided by the Company directly to consumers.

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.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 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, 2019 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 11, 2020. 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, plant, and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, the valuation of assets and liabilities in connection with acquisitions, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the valuation of inventories, liability and equity allocation of convertible notes, and reserves for legal contingencies.

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.

10

Table of Contents

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. 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.

A portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of VIP, (the “VIP Acquisition”) was structured in the form of Contingent Notes (the “Contingent Notes”) that vested based on the combined Company EBITDA targets for the years ending December 31, 2018 and 2019.  The combined Company EBITDA targets were met for each year end, and as such the Contingent Notes were earned.  As such, the portion of the liability as it relates to each Contingent Note became fixed as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value as the stated interest rate is consistent with current market rates. See Note 2 – “Business Combinations” for more information regarding the VIP Acquisition.

The Contingent Notes are included in long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Contingent Notes began bearing interest at a fixed rate of 6.75% once they were earned, with the balance payable in July of 2023.

The following table summarizes the Level 3 activity related to the Contingent Notes for the six months ended June 30, 2019:

On May 19, 2020, the Company issued $143.8 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The fair value of the Notes was $194.4 million as of June 30, 2020. The estimated fair value of Notes is based on market rates and the closing trading price of the Notes as of June 30, 2020 and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, the if-converted value of the Convertible notes did not exceed the principal amount. See “Note 5 – Debt” for more information about the Notes.

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. All credit card, debit card and electronic transfer transactions that process in less than seven days are classified as cash and cash equivalents. 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 expected losses. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience, a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable, and known current economic conditions including the current and expected impact of COVID-19. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer's remittance advice.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method and includes estimated rebate amounts. The Company maintains reserves for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventory based on the 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 calculated using the straight-line method, based on estimated useful lives of the assets, except for leasehold improvements and finance 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 condensed 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

    

3 years

Vehicle and vehicle accessories

Convertible Debt

We separately account for the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that can be settled in cash by allocating the proceeds from issuance between the liability component and the embedded conversion option in accordance with accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion. The value of the equity component is calculated by first measuring the fair value of the liability component, using the interest rate of a similar liability that does not have a conversion feature, as of the issuance date. The difference between the proceeds from the convertible debt issuance and the amount measured as the liability

12

Table of Contents

component is recorded as the equity component with a corresponding discount recorded on the debt. We recognize amortization of the resulting discount using the effective interest method as interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. We have allocated issuance costs relating to the Notes incurred to the liability and equity component. Issuance costs attributable to the liability component are being amortized to expense over the respective term of the Notes, and issuance costs attributable to the equity components were netted with the respective equity component in additional paid-in capital. Simultaneously, with the issuance of the Notes, we bought capped call options from certain financial institutions to minimize the impact of potential dilution of our Class A common stock upon conversion of the Notes. The premium for the capped call options was recorded as additional paid-in capital in our consolidated balance sheets as the options are settleable in our Class A common stock.

Revenue Recognition

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 generally 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 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.  

The Company determined that certain products manufactured to a customer’s specifications do not have an alternative future use at a reasonable profit margin due to costs associated with reworking, transporting and repackaging these products. These products are produced subject to purchase orders that include an enforceable right to payment. Therefore the Company determined that revenue on these products would be recognized over time, as the products are produced. This represents a minor subset of the products the Company manufactures.

Revenue is recognized for services at the time 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.   

Incentives in the form of cash paid to the customer (or a reduction of a customer cash payment to us) typically are recognized as a reduction of sales unless the incentive is for a distinct benefit that we receive from the customer (e.g., advertising or marketing).

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, 2020.

 

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.

Table of Contents

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 accounts payable or other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

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, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are immaterial. The Company does not have significant deferred revenue or unbilled receivable balances.

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 $0.9 million and $1.9 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Advertising costs were $3.3 million and $5.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $1.0 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Collaboration Agreements

On July 8, 2019, the Company, through Opco, completed the acquisition of all the outstanding stock of Sergeant’s Pet Care Products, Inc. (“Sergeant’s”), d/b/a Perrigo Animal Health, including any assets related to Perrigo Company plc’s animal health business (the “Perrigo Animal Health Acquisition”). In connection with the closing, we entered into a product development and asset purchase agreement with a third party for certain product formulations in development by the third party. The Company may make up to $20.6 million of payments over the course of the next several years contingent on achievement of certain development and regulatory approval milestones. Product development costs are expensed as incurred or as milestone payments become probable. There can be no assurance that these products will be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on the anticipated schedule or at all. Consideration paid after FDA approval will be capitalized and amortized to cost of goods sold over the economic life of each product. The expenses paid prior to FDA approval will be included in General and Administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. No costs were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.

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 (loss) income represents the portion of earnings or loss attributable to the economic interest in the Company’s subsidiary, Holdco, held by the non-controlling holders of Class B common stock and limited liability company interests in Holdco. Non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheet represents the portion of net assets of the Company attributable to the non-controlling holders of Class B common stock and limited liability company interests in Holdco, based on the portion of the LLC Interests owned by holders of Class B common stock and limited liability company interests in Holdco. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 the non-controlling interest was approximately 13.3% and 16.8%, respectively.

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. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed. The Company consults with both internal and external legal counsel related to litigation.

Adopted Accounting Standard Updates

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses." This ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable information. Organizations will now use forward-looking information to better estimate their credit losses. The Company adopted this ASU using a modified retrospective approach. Under this method of adoption, the Company determined that there was no cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning Retained earnings on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s income before income taxes and had no impact on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

In May 2020, the SEC issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10786, which amends the financial statement requirements for acquisitions and dispositions of businesses and related pro forma financial information required under SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05. The final rule modifies the significance test required in SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 1-02(w) by raising the significance threshold for reporting dispositions of a business from 10% to 20% and by modifying the calculation of the investment and income tests. The Company has early adopted these modifications, which are effective for fiscal years starting after December 31, 2020 with early adoption permitted.

Certain intangible assets are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar; therefore, their gross and net carrying values are subject to foreign currency movements. Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $2.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and $4.5 million and $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The in-process research and development (“IPRD”), intangible assets represent the value assigned to acquired R&D projects that principally represent rights to develop and sell a product that the Company has acquired which have not yet been completed or approved. The IPRD acquired as part of the Perrigo Animal Health Acquisition is accounted for as an indefinite-lived asset until the product is available for sale and regulatory approval is obtained, or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. If the research and development efforts are successfully completed, the IPRD would be amortized over its then estimated useful life. The fair value of the IPRD was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings income method. The projected cash flows estimates for the future products were based on certain key assumptions including estimates of future revenues and expenses, taking into account the stage of development at the acquisition date and the resources needed to complete development.

Note 5 – Debt

Convertible Notes

On May 19, 2020, the Company issued $143.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes pursuant to the indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of May 19, 2020. The total net proceeds from the Notes offering, after deducting debt issuance costs paid or payable by us, was $137.9 million. The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2020. The Notes will mature on June 1, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before January 15, 2026, holders will have the right to convert their Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after January 15, 2026, holders may convert their Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of its Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its Class A common stock, at its election. The initial conversion rate is 33.7268 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.

 

The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 1, 2023 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. In addition, calling any Notes will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to such Notes, which will result in an increase to the conversion rate if such Notes are converted after they are called for redemption.

If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s Class A common stock.

 

The Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and are (i) equal in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Notes contain customary events of default.

Table of Contents

In accounting for the issuance of the Notes, the Company separated the Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated using a discount rate of 13%, which was determined by measuring the fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have an associated convertible feature. The amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was $53.3 million and was determined by deducting the fair value of the liablity component from the par value of the Notes. The excess of the principal amount of the liablity component over its carrying amount, or the debt discount, is amortized to interest expense at an annual effective interest rate over the contractual terms of the Notes.

The fair value of the Notes was $194.4 million as of June 30, 2020. The estimated fair value of the Notes is based on market rates and the closing trading price of the Convertible Notes as of June 30, 2020 and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, the if-converted value of the Notes did not exceed the principal amount.

Capped Call Transactions

On May 14, 2020 and May 19, 2020, the Company entered into capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with two counterparties (the “Option Counterparties”). The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to the Notes, the underlying shares of Class A common stock and are intended to reduce, subject to a limit, the potential dilution with respect to the Class A common stock upon conversion of the Notes. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions is $41.51 per share of Class A common stock, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions.

 

The Company paid approximately $14.8 million for the Capped Call Transactions, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital, using a portion of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Notes. The capped call is expected to be tax

deductible as the Company elected to integrate the capped call into the Notes for tax purposes. The tax effect on the equity component of the Convertible Notes of $8.0 million was recorded through additional paid-in capital.

A&R Credit Agreement

The Company amended the existing revolving credit agreement of Opco and each of its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Amended Revolving Credit Agreement”) on July 8, 2019. The Amended Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility of $125 million that matures on July 8, 2024. The borrowers under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility incur fees between 0.375% and 0.50% as unused facility fees, dependent on the aggregate amount borrowed.  On May 14, 2020, the Company amended the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement to allow for the Notes described above.  Additionally the amendment instituted a Eurodollar floor of 1% to the agreement.  

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

The Amended Revolving Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the borrowers and guarantors thereunder to (subject to certain exceptions): (i) make investments, loans or advances; (ii) incur additional indebtedness; (iii) create liens on assets; (iv) engage in mergers or consolidations and/or sell assets; (v) pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our equity interests; (vi) repay subordinated indebtedness; (vii) make certain acquisitions; and (viii) other restrictions typical for a credit agreement of this type. As of June 30, 2020, the borrowers and guarantors thereunder were in compliance with these covenants. Although the Company currently expects continued compliance with debt covenants, the impact COVID-19 may negatively affect the Company’s ability to comply with these covenants. The Amended Revolving Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default (including change of control).  In addition, the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement contains a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenant which is tested if availability under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement falls below a certain level. As of June 30, 2020, the borrower and guarantors thereunder were in compliance with these covenants.

As of June 30, 2020, $30.0 million was outstanding under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement. The weighted average interest rate on the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement was 2.3% at June 30, 2020.

A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement

The Company amended and restated the existing term loan credit agreement of Opco (the “A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement”) on July 8, 2019. The $220.0 million A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement has an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar rate plus 4.50%. The proceeds of the A&R Term Loan Agreement were used to refinance the existing term loan facility and consummate the Perrigo Animal Health Acquisition.

All obligations under the A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by PetIQ Holdings, LLC 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 Term Loan Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of PetIQ, LLC and each guarantor under the A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

The A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the borrower and guarantors thereunder to (subject to certain exceptions): (i) make investments, loans or advances; (ii) incur additional indebtedness; (iii) create liens on assets; (iv) engage in mergers or consolidations and/or sell assets; (v) pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our equity interests; (vi) repay subordinated indebtedness; (vii) make certain acquisitions; and (viii) other restrictions typical for a credit agreement of this type. The A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default (including change of control). In addition, the A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement includes a maintenance covenant that requires compliance with a maximum first lien net leverage ratio. The availability of certain baskets and the ability to enter into certain transactions (including our ability

21

to pay dividends) may also be subject to compliance with secured leverage ratios. As of June 30, 2020, the borrower and guarantors thereunder were in compliance with these covenants.

General 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 of $10.0 million and the Contingent Notes. As of June 30, 2020, $7.5 million was payable pursuant to the 2018 Contingent Note and $10.0 million was payable pursuant to the 2019 Contingent Note. The guarantee note and the Contingent Notes, have a collective balance of $27.5 million and require quarterly interest payments of 6.75% with the balance payable July 17, 2023.

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 2020 and 2026. A portion of leases are denominated in foreign currencies.

For both operating and finance leases, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset, which represents the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability, which represents the present value of our obligation to make payments arising over the lease term.

We elected the short-term lease exemption for all leases that qualify. This means leases having an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

The Company's leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Renewal options generally range from one to ten years and the options to extend are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Some leases have variable payments, however, because they are not based on an index or rate, they are not included in the ROU assets and liabilities. Variable payments for real estate leases primarily relate to common area maintenance, insurance, taxes and utilities. Variable payments for equipment, vehicles, and leases within supply agreements primarily relate to usage, repairs, and maintenance. As the implicit rate is not readily determinable for most of the Company's leases, the Company applies a portfolio approach using an estimated incremental borrowing rate, giving consideration to company specific information and publicly available interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, to determine the initial present value of lease payments over the lease terms.

Note 7 – Income Tax

As a result of the Company’s initial public offering 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.

Our effective tax rate (ETR) from continuing operations was (3.2)% and 19.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and 13.0% and 14.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, including discrete items. Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was different than the U.S federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of state taxes, foreign GILTI income

Table of Contents

inclusion and various permanent tax differences which are offset partially by the impact of the non-controlling interest income that is not taxable.

The Company has assessed the realizability of the net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2020 and in that analysis has considered the relevant positive and negative evidence available to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The realization of the gross deferred tax assets is dependent on several factors, including the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of certain carryforwards. The Company believes that there will be sufficient taxable income in the future that the Company’s deferred tax assets will be realized except for the following. The Company has a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets of $0.1 million and $0.1 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. It is possible that some or all of the remaining deferred tax assets could ultimately not be realized in the future if our operations are not able to generate sufficient taxable income. Therefore, a substantial valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets may be required, which would materially increase our tax expense in the period in which the allowance is recognized and would adversely affect our results of operations.

HoldCo makes cash distributions to members to pay taxes attributable to their allocable share of income earned. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company made cash distributions of $0.03 million and $0.05 million, respectively. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company made cash distributions of $1 thousand and $1.4 million, respectively. Additionally, HoldCo accrues for distributions required to be made related to estimated income taxes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company accrued distributions of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company accrued $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) which includes temporary changes regarding the prior and future utilization of net operating losses, temporary changes to the prior and future limitations on interest deductions, temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of Social Security taxes, technical corrections from prior tax legislation for tax depreciation of certain qualified improvement property, and the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits. The Company will benefit from the Employee Retention Credits and the payroll tax deferral.

Note 8 – Earnings per Share

Basic and Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to PetIQ by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to PetIQ by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. We use the ‘if-converted’ method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the Notes on diluted earnings per share, subject to meeting the criteria for using the treasury stock method in future periods.

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, 2020 and 2019, all shares of the Company’s Class B common stock 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, respectively.

Additionally, all stock options and restricted stock units and convertible Notes have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, as they have been determined to be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, 1,180 thousand and 1,550 thousand, respectively, 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 treasury stock method.

Note 9 – Stock Based Compensation

PetIQ, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan

The PetIQ, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (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 has 3,914 thousand authorized shares under the Plan. As of June 30, 2020, 1,294 thousand 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”) provided 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 thousand shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company. As of June 30, 2020, no 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.

Table of Contents

Stock Options

The Company awards stock options to certain employees and directors under the Plan and previously issued stock options under 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 $1.3 million and $3.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $1.3 million and $2.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. 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 was determined on the grant dates using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on the following weighted-average assumptions for the periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

(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.

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the period ended June 30, 2020 was $6.70 per option. At June 30, 2020, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $11.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years.

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, 2020, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs was $7.0 million and is expected to vest over a weighted average 3.2 years.

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation Contingencies

On April 4, 2018, Med Vets, Inc. and Bay Medical Solutions Inc. (collectively “Plaintiffs”) filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against PetIQ and VIP Petcare Holdings, Inc. for alleged unlawful merger and other antitrust violations. On June 29, 2020, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion affirming the dismissal of Med Vets’ merger challenge. The Plaintiffs have filed for an en banc hearing. As no impact to the Company is considered probable or estimable, no litigation reserve has been accrued.

The Company has a supplier who has alleged PetIQ has breached its supply agreement due to the acquisition of Perrigo Animal Health.  During July 2020, the Company entered into a Termination, Settlement and Asset Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”). The Agreement called for PetIQ to pay $20.6 million, $2.6 million at signing and $1 million per quarter thereafter. The Agreement terminated the supply agreement that was previously in place, settled all outstanding claims and operations, and allowed PetIQ to purchase certain intellectual property related assets. The Company has estimated the fair value of the payment obligation as $17.5 million, and determined the fair value of the acquired assets to be $9.7 million. The Agreement will allow the Company to manufacture and distribute products out of the Omaha facility (versus previously purchasing them from the supplier), thereby directly benefitting from Omaha’s product manufacturing process and improving company profitability. The remainder of the obligation is considered to be a payment to settle the alledged breech of the supply agreement, and as it represents circumstances that existed at June 30, 2020, the Company has accrued the amount as settlement expense included in general and aministrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and the related liability as an ather accrued expenses and other non-current liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

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, 2020 and December 31, 2019 as the Company 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.

Commitments

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire the U.S. rights to Capstar® and CapAction® and related assets (the “Capstar Acquisition”) from Elanco US Inc. (“Elanco”) for $95 million, plus the cost of certain outstanding finished goods inventory in saleable condition. The Acquisition was completed on July 31, 2020, using cash on hand as a result of the issuance of the Notes in May 2020.

Note 14 – Segments

The Company has two operating segments: Products and Services. The Products segment consists of the Company’s manufacturing and distribution business. The Services segment consists of the Company’s 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 (“CODM”) to make resource allocation decisions and to evaluate performance. We measure and evaluate our reportable segments based on net sales and segment Adjusted EBITDA. We exclude from our segments certain corporate costs and expenses, such as accounting, legal, human resources, information technology and corporate headquarters expenses as our corporate functions do not meet the definition of a segment as defined in the accounting guidance related to segment reporting.

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Considerations

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization formally declared the Novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak to be a pandemic. The spread of COVID-19 has caused illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in business activity, widespread unemployment, supply chain interruptions, and overall economic and financial market instability. All states have declared states of emergency and various states and cities have restricted commerce and travel to a varied degree.

We made the strategic and difficult decision to temporarily close all of our veterinarian service clinics effective March 20, 2020 to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers and retail partners. We began reopen veterinary service locations in May 2020 and will continue the reopening, with 95% of wellness centers and mobile clinics expected to be resumed by September 30, 2020. This effort required developing a number of protocols, including curbside service at some locations, procurement of personal protective equipment, training of team members, and more to facilitate our ability to re-open. The Company has determined that veterinary services are an essential business, and as such the Company does not expect an additional large scale disruption once it resumes activites.

The amount of the decrease in business that we will ultimately experience remains uncertain. This is largely due to: (i) existing concerns that many non-essential businesses and employees face permanent closure or heavy reliance on newly-established federal government programs, such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (CARES Act), in order to remain in operation and the ultimate success of these programs remains unknown; and (ii) uncertainty of consumer/pet owner response and more specifically, the timing of engaged demand as the public is reintroduced to our retail environments as government restrictions are lifted or reduced.

Our Products segment has remained in operation at our main three facilities in Springville, Utah, Omaha, Nebraska, and Daytona Beach, Florida, as well as our contract manufacturing partner in Plano, Texas. We have implemented a variety of policies and procedures to ensure the health and safety of our workforce, including staggering break times, adding additional shifts to enhance social distancing, enhancing sanitation procedures, providing personal protective equipment to employees, and requiring social distancing. We also provided a $2 an hour temporary wage increase for our production employees during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Our corporate and administrative personnel have been fully functional since we closed various administrative offices to employees and the general public, and implemented enhanced social distancing and work-from-home policies. A number of employees returned to these offices during the three months ended June 30, 2020, however a number of employees remain working remotely. We expect to continually review and adjust to local health conditions for the various jurisdictions in which we operate.

We are taking precautions to protect the safety and well-being of our employees while providing uninterrupted deliveries of products to our retailer partners. However, no assurance can be given that these actions will be sufficient, nor can we predict the level of disruption that will occur should the COVID-19 pandemic and its related macro-economic risks continue for an extended period of time. Additional information regarding risks and uncertainties to our business and results of operations related to the COVID-19 pandemic are set forth in Part II, Item 1A of this report.

Recent Developments

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire the U.S. rights to Capstar® and CapAction® and related assets (the “Acquisition”) from Elanco US Inc. (“Elanco”) for $95 million, plus the cost of certain outstanding finished goods inventory in saleable condition. The Acquisition was completed on July 31, 2020, using cash on hand as a result of the Company’s 4.00% Senior Convertible Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) in May 2020. See “Description of Indebtedness.”

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared With Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

Net sales

Consolidated Net Sales

Consolidated net sales increased $46.4 million, or 21%, to $267.0 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $220.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was driven by the expansion of manufactured items as a result of the Perrigo Animal Health Acquisition, other growth in the Products segment related to distributed products driven by online retailers, offset by declining sales in the Services segment due to COVID-19 related closures.

Products Segment

Product sales increased $69.7 million, or 36%, to $264.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $194.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was driven by accelerated growth in manufactured products led by those produced in our Omaha facility and by velocity growth within current customers of distributed products led by online retailers.

Services Segment

Service revenue decreased $23.3 million, or 90%, from $26.0 million to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. Same-store sales decreased $22.2 million, or 93%, to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $23.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in same-store sales was driven by COVID-19 related closures. Non same-store sales decreased $1.2 million or 56%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in non same-store sales was a result of opening 80 additional wellness centers in the 2019 period, as well as the maturation of clinics opened in the past six trailing quarters, offset by the permanent closure of 15 wellness centers in the non-same store sales base and COVID-19 related closures.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased by $7.3 million, or 21%, to $42.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $34.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is due to the significant Products sales growth, and particularly in products manufactured in our Omaha Nebraska facility, which carry a higher margin than our distributed product sales.

Gross margin remained consistent at 15.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, driven by product sales growth primarily in higher margin items, offset by service closures while still incurring costs.

General and administrative expenses

Consolidated general and administrative expenses (“G&A”) increased by $14.0 million, or 57%, to $38.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $24.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. As a percentage of net sales, G&A increased from 11.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to 14.4% for the second quarter of 2020, primarily driven by a $7.8 million contract termination cost, costs related to the addition of overhead to support the Omaha facilities, and general growth in corporate services.

Products Segment

Products segment G&A increased $0.4 million or 6% to $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was driven by acquisitions, resulting in approximately $3.2 million in G&A costs related to the acquired Perrigo Animal Health business, primarily selling and distribution expenses, offset by decreases of certain infrequent costs, such as a advertising sponsorship that was deferred due to COVID-19, and certain employee onboarding costs in 2019 that did not recur.

Services Segment

Services segment G&A decreased $1.2 million, or 33%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was driven by COVID-19 related closures that reduced variable costs such as labor, host fees, and bank charges, as well as a payroll tax credit offsetting certain wages.

Unallocated Corporate

Unallocated corporate G&A increased $14.8 million, or 105%, to $28.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from $14.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was related to the following:

Increased corporate marketing efforts for approximately $2.8 million;
Additional corporate compensation (both stock compensation and wages/bonus) of approximately $2.8 million;
Increased professional fees, primarily related to the increased size of the Company, as well as non-recurring acquisition costs, integration costs, and litigation;
A contract termination cost related to the transition from the Perrigo Animal Health Acquisition of $7.8 million, and
Other variable costs related to Company growth, such as insurance and information technology.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net, increased $3.8 million to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was driven by additional debt taken on to fund the Perrigo Animal Health Acquisition during 2019 and the Notes issued in May 2020 to finance the Capstar Acquisition.

Provision for income taxes

Our effective tax rate was 3.2% and 13.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, with a tax expense of $0.06 million and $0.90 million, respectively. The Company’s tax rate is impacted by the ownership structure of Holdco, which changes over time.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA

Effective during the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company changed its segment measure of profitability for its reportable segments from segment operating income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA to better align the way the chief operating decision maker views reportable segment operations in light of changes in the Company’s operations, including the increase of manufacturing operations as a result of the Perrigo Animal Health Acquisition in the Products segment and the growth of the Company’s wellness centers, host partners, and regions within the Services segment. For comparability purposes, previous periods have been recast to reflect the measure of segment profitability.

Table of Contents

Products Segment

Products segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $20.7 million, or 98% to $41.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $21.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Products segment Adjusted EBITDA fluctuates based on the quantity and mix of products sold, specifically whether the products are produced by PetIQ, or are distributed for other manufacturers. The significant growth in Products segment Adjusted EBITDA relates to significant sales growth of manufactured products, primarily produced at our Omaha facility.

Services Segment

Services segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased $5.7 million, or 84%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Services segment Adjusted EBITDA can fluctuate considerably for the Services segment based on the volume of pets seen in clinics, due to the relatively fixed cost nature of a clinic. Additionally, Services segment earnings are impacted by the Company’s growth strategy of opening new wellness centers and the impact of the Company’s same store portfolio, discussed further below. Services segment Adjusted EBITDA was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 closures, as well as converting some community clinics to wellness centers, which transitions operations into the non-same store category.

Unallocated Corporate

Unallocated corporate expenses consist of expenses incurred by centrally-managed departments, including accounting, legal, human resources information technology and headquarters expenses, as well as executive and incentive compensation expenses, and other miscellaneous costs. Unallocated corporate costs have primarily grown due to the growth in the Company, including adding to administrative headcount through acquisitions, as well as headquarters growth to support the larger Company. Adjustments to unallocated corporate include expenses related to specific events, such as the acquisition expenses, fair value of the inventory adjustment, integration costs, and the fair value adjustment to the contingent note. Adjustments also include non-cash expenses, such as depreciation, amortization, and stock based compensation.

This increase was driven by the expansion of manufactured items as a result of the Perrigo Animal Health Acquisition, other growth in the Products segment related to distributed products led by the online channel, offset by declining sales in the Services segment due to COVID-19 related closures.

Products Segment

Product sales increased $109.9 million, or 34%, to $430.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $320.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was driven by accelerated growth in manufactured products led by those produced in our Omaha facility and by velocity growth within current customers of distributed products.

Services Segment

Service revenue decreased $25.2 million, or 52%, from $48.4 million to $23.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. Same-store sales decreased $24.8 million, or 55%, to $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $44.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in same-store sales was driven by COVID-19 related closures. Non same-store sales decreased $0.4 million or 12%, to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in non same-store sales was a result of opening 80 additional wellness centers in the 2019 period, as well as the maturation of clinics opened in the past six trailing quarters, offset by the permanent closure of 15 wellness centers in the non-same store sales base and COVID-19 related closures.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased by $14.7 million, or 25%, to $74.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $59.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is due to the significant Products sales growth, and particularly in products manufactured in our Omaha Nebraska facility, which carry a higher margin than our distributed product sales, offset by a negative gross profit in services due to COVID-19 related closures.

40

Table of Contents

Gross margin increased to 16.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from 16.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, driven by product sales growth primarily in higher margin items, offset by the declines in Services due to COVID-19 related closures.

General and administrative expenses

Consolidated general and administrative expenses (“G&A”) increased by $25.2 million, or 56%, to $70.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $45.0 million for the six months ended June 30 , 2019. As a percentage of net sales, G&A increased from 12.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to 15.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by a $8.2 million in expense related to the termination of a contract, costs related to the addition of overhead in and to support the Omaha facilities, and growth in corporate services.

Products Segment

Products segment G&A increased $4.2 million or 36% to $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was driven by acquisitions, resulting in approximately $6.4 million in G&A costs related to the acquired Perrigo Animal Health business, primarily selling and distribution expenses. This was offset by a reduction in other costs, like a deferred advertising sponsorship that was postponed due to COVID-19 in the current year, as well as employee onboarding costs in 2019 that did not recur.

Services Segment

Services segment G&A decreased $0.7 million, or 9.4%, to $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was driven by variable costs in supporting the Services revenue decreases due to COVID-19 closures, including host fees, marketing, and bank charges. Offset slightly due to growth from opening new wellness centers.

Unallocated Corporate

Unallocated corporate G&A increased $21.8 million, or 84%, to $47.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from $26.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was related to the following:

Increased corporate marketing efforts for approximately $4.7 million;

Increased professional fees and licensing costs, primarily related to the increased size of the Company, as well as non-recurring acquisition costs, integration costs, and litigation;
Higher amortization on the inclusion of the Perrigo Animal Health Acquisition;
A contract termination cost related to the transition from the Perrigo Animal Health Acquisition of $7.8 million, and
Other variable costs related to Company growth, such as insurance and information technology.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net, increased $6.5 million to $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was driven by additional debt taken on to fund the Perrigo Animal Health Acquisition during 2019 as well as the Convertible Notes entered into during May 2020.

Provision for income taxes

Our effective tax rate was (19.4)% and 14.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, with a tax benefit of $(1.1) million and tax expense of $1.4 million. The Company’s tax rate is impacted by the ownership structure of Holdco, which changes over time.

Consolidated 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 adjustments 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

43

Table of Contents

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.

(1)Acquisition costs include legal, accounting, banking, consulting, diligence, and other out-of-pocket costs related to completed and contemplated acquisitions.
(2)Non same-store revenue and costs relate to our Services segment and are from wellness centers, host partners, and regions with less than six full trailing quarters of operating results.
(3)Fair value adjustment on the contingent note represents the non cash adjustment to mark the 2019 Contingent Note to fair value.
(4)Integration costs and costs of discontinued clinics represent costs related to integrating the acquired businesses, such as personnel costs like severance and signing bonuses, consulting work, contract termination, and IT conversion costs. These costs are primarily in the Products segment and the corporate segment for personnel costs, legal and consulting expenses, and IT costs.
(5)Clinic launch expenses relate to our Services segment and represent the nonrecurring costs to open new veterinary wellness centers, primarily employee costs, training, marketing, and rent prior to opening for business.
(6)Costs related to maintaining service segment infrastructure, staffing, and overhead related clinics and wellness centers closed due to COVID-19 related health and safety initiatives. Product segment and unallocated corporate costs related to incremental wages paid to essential works and sanitation costs due to COVID.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, borrowings, and equity capital. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents were $117.0 million and $27.3 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, we had $30.0 million outstanding under a revolving credit facility, $218.3 million

44

Table of Contents

under a term loan, $143.8 million of outstanding Notes, and $29.3 million in other debt. Our debt agreements bear interest at rates between 2.3% and 6.75%.

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, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $257.9 million and $112.4 million, respectively.

Additionally, the Company acquired the U.S. rights to Capstar® and CapAction® and related assets (the “Acquisition”) from Elanco, US Inc. for $95 million, plus the cost of certain outstanding finished goods inventory in saleable condition. The Acquisition closed on July 31, 2020 and was financed using cash from the sale of the Notes in May 2020.

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 $42.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to cash used in operating activities of $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The change in operating cash flows primarily reflects lower earnings and a significant expansion in working capital. Working capital changes are driven by increased inventory and accounts receivable on the seasonality of the business, growing sales, offset somewhat by growth in accounts payable. Net changes in assets and liabilities accounted for $52.7 million in cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $37.9 million of cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Cash used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in net cash used in investing activities is a result of the continued wellness center rollout initiative as well as the start of construction on a new corporate headquarters.

Cash provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $142.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $10.1 million in net cash used by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The change in cash provided by financing activities is primarily driven by the Company’s utilization of its revolving credit facility to fund working capital expansion due to seasonality and the issuance of Convertible Notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we received $137.9 million of proceeds from the issuance of 4.0% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2026 (the “Notes”), net of issuance costs, paid $14.8 million for privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (“Capped Call”).

Description of Indebtedness

Convertible Notes

On May 19, 2020, the Company issued $143.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes pursuant to the indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of May 19, 2020. The total net proceeds from the Notes offering, after deducting debt issuance costs paid or payable by us, was $137.9 million. The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1,

Table of Contents

2020. The Notes will mature on June 1, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before January 15, 2026, holders will have the right to convert their Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after January 15, 2026, holders may convert their Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of its Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its Class A common stock, at its election. The initial conversion rate is 33.7268 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.

 

The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 1, 2023 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. In addition, calling any Notes will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to such Notes, which will result in an increase to the conversion rate if such Notes are converted after they are called for redemption.

If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s Class A common stock.

 

The Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and are (i) equal in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Notes contain customary events of default.

In accounting for the issuance of the Notes, the Company separated the Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated using a discount rate of 13%, which was determined by measuring the fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was $51.1 million and was determined by deducting the fair value of the liablity component from the par value of the Notes. The excess of the principal amount of the liablity component over its carrying amount, or the debt discount, is amortized to interest expense at an annual effective interest rate over the contractual terms of the Notes.

A&R Credit Agreement

The Company amended the existing revolving credit agreement of Opco and each of its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Amended Revolving Credit Agreement”) on July 8, 2019. The Amended Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility of $125 million that matures on July 8, 2024. The borrowers under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility incur fees between 0.375% and 0.50% as unused facility fees, dependent on the aggregate amount borrowed.  On May 14, 2020, the Company amended the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement to allow for the Notes described above.  Additionally the amendment instituted a Eurodollar floor of 1% to the agreement.

Table of Contents

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

The Amended Revolving Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the borrowers and guarantors thereunder to (subject to certain exceptions): (i) make investments, loans or advances; (ii) incur additional indebtedness; (iii) create liens on assets; (iv) engage in mergers or consolidations and/or sell assets; (v) pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our equity interests; (vi) repay subordinated indebtedness; (vii) make certain acquisitions; and (viii) other restrictions typical for a credit agreement of this type. As of June 30, 2020, the borrowers and guarantors thereunder were in compliance with these covenants. Although the Company currently expects continued compliance with debt covenants, the impact COVID-19 may negatively affect the Company’s ability to comply with these covenants. The Amended Revolving Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default (including change of control).  In addition, the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement contains a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenant which is tested if availability under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement falls below a certain level. As of June 30, 2020, the borrower and guarantors thereunder were in compliance with these covenants.

As of June 30, 2020, $30.0 million was outstanding under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement. The weighted average interest rate on the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement was 2.3% at June 30, 2020.

A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement

The Company amended and restated the existing term loan credit agreement of Opco (the “A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement”) on July 8, 2019. The $220.0 million A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement has an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar rate plus 4.50%. The proceeds of the A&R Term Loan Agreement were used to refinance the existing term loan facility and consummate the Perrigo Animal Health Acquisition.

All obligations under the A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by PetIQ Holdings, LLC 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 Term Loan Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of PetIQ, LLC and each guarantor under the A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

The A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the borrower and guarantors thereunder to (subject to certain exceptions): (i) make investments, loans or advances; (ii) incur additional indebtedness; (iii) create liens on assets; (iv) engage in mergers or consolidations and/or sell assets; (v) pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our equity interests; (vi) repay subordinated indebtedness; (vii) make certain acquisitions; and (viii) other restrictions typical for a credit agreement of this type. The A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default (including change of control). In addition, the A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement includes a maintenance covenant that requires compliance with a maximum first lien net leverage ratio. The availability of certain baskets and the ability to enter into certain transactions (including our ability to pay dividends) may also be subject to compliance with secured leverage ratios. As of June 30, 2020, the borrower and guarantors thereunder were in compliance with these covenants.

General 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 of $10.0 million. As of June 30, 2020, $7.5 million was payable pursuant to the 2018 Contingent Note and $10.0 million was payable pursuant to the 2019

Table of Contents

Contingent note. The guarantee note and the Contingent Notes, collectively, “Notes Payable – VIP Acquisition” of $27.5 million require quarterly interest payments of 6.75% with the balance payable July 17, 2023.

The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $0.3 million related to the A&R Credit Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

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 A&R Credit Agreement and A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement are 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, 2020, we had variable rate debt of approximately $248.4 million under our Revolver and Term Loan. An increase of 1% would have increased our interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 by approximately $2.5 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Internal Control over Financing Reporting

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.

48

Table of Contents

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.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that our corporate employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the impact of COVID-19 on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

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 management’s 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 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the global economy; our ability to successfully grow our business through acquisitions; our dependency on a limited number of customers; our ability to implement our growth strategy effectively; disruptions in our manufacturing and distribution chains; competition from veterinarians and others in our industry; reputational damage to our brands; economic trends and spending on pets; 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; our ability to sustain profitability; and the risks set forth under the “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020, this Report and other reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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

49

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.

We are from time to time subject to, and are presently involved in, litigation and other proceedings. Other than the litigation described below, 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.

As previously disclosed, on April 4, 2018, Med Vets, Inc. and Bay Medical Solutions Inc. (collectively “Plaintiffs”) filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against PetIQ and VIP Petcare Holdings, Inc. for alleged unlawful merger and other antitrust violations. On June 29, 2020, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion affirming the dismissal of Med Vets’ merger challenge. The Plaintiffs have filed for an en banc hearing. As no impact to the Company is considered probable or estimable, no litigation reserve has been accrued.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire the U.S. rights to Capstar® and CapAction® and related assets (the “Capstar Acquisition”) from Elanco US Inc. (“Elanco”) for $95 million, plus the cost of certain outstanding finished goods inventory in saleable condition. The Acquisition was completed on July 31, 2020, using cash received in connection with the issuance of the Notes

Additionally the Company is subject to various litigation related to its products as well as other corporate litigation.  No individual item is significant.  

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, 2020 except the $7.8 million noted in Note 13 in the accompanying financial statements, as the Company 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 statements 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, 2019, except for the risk factor updated below:

The scale and scope of the recent COVID-19 outbreak and resulting pandemic is unknown and, due to wellness center and community clinic closures and other factors, is likely to result in an adverse impact on our business at least for the near term.

As the U.S. faces the novel COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is following the recommendations of government and health authorities to minimize exposure for its veterinarians, associates, customers and retail partners. As a result, the Company announced on March 19, 2020 that it is temporarily closing all of its veterinary community clinics and wellness centers effective Friday, March 20, 2020. The Company will closely monitor this global health crisis to reopening its community clinics and wellness centers as quickly as practical. The Company will continue to reassess its strategy on a regular, ongoing basis as the situation evolves. Additionally, the rapid spread of COVID-19 globally also has resulted in travel restrictions and disruption and shutdown of certain businesses in the U.S., including those of certain of our retail partners. We may experience impacts from changes in customer behavior related to pandemic fears, quarantines and market downturns, as well as impacts on our workforce if the virus becomes widespread in any of our markets. If the virus were to affect a significant amount of the workforce employed or operating at our facilities, we may experience delays or the inability to produce and deliver products to our retail partners on a timely basis. In addition, one or more of our customers, service providers or suppliers may experience financial distress, file for bankruptcy protection, go out of business, or suffer disruptions in their business due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The global scale and scope of

50

Table of Contents

COVID-19 is unknown and the duration of the business disruption and related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts the Company’s results will ultimately depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and will include the duration of our wellness center and community clinic closures as well as closures of our retail partners, emerging information concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken by governments and private businesses to attempt to contain COVID-19. However, the Company believes COVID-19 is likely to result in an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition, at least for the near term.
