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,” “believe,” “continuing,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “project,” “should,” “will,” 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 heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” economic and market conditions, 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; 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, 2021, 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 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.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 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, 2021 and related notes thereto included in the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 1, 2022 (the "Annual Report"). 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 condensed 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 deferred tax assets, the valuation of inventories, and reserves for legal contingencies.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company's significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 Principal Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies in the Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to these policies that have had a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Note 2 — Debt
Senior Secured Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility
On April 13, 2021, OpCo entered into an asset-based credit agreement with KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders’ party thereto, that provides senior secured financing of $125.0 million (which may be increased by up to $50.0 million in certain circumstances) (the "ABL"), subject to a borrowing base limitation. The borrowing base for the ABL at any time equals the sum of: (i) 90% of eligible investment-grade accounts

Table of Contents
receivable; plus (ii) 85% of eligible other accounts receivable; plus, (iii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of the cost of certain eligible on-hand and in-transit inventory; plus, (iv) at the option of OpCo, 100% of qualified cash; minus (v) reserves. The ABL bears interest at a variable rate plus a margin, with the variable rate being based on a base rate or LIBOR at the option of the Company. The interest rate at September 30, 2022 was 4.39%. The Company also pays a commitment fee on unused borrowings at a rate of 0.35%.
The ABL is secured by the assets of the Company including a first-priority security interest in personal property consisting of accounts receivable, inventory, cash, and deposit accounts. The ABL contains certain negative covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make investments, loans, and acquisitions, among other restrictions. The ABL is due on the fifth anniversary of the agreement.
Senior Secured Term Loan Facility
On April 13, 2021, OpCo entered into a term credit and guaranty agreement with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders’ party thereto, that provides senior secured term loans of $300.0 million (which may be increased in certain circumstances) (the "Term Loan B"). The Term Loan B bears interest at a variable rate of either prime, federal funds effective rate or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of between 3.25% and 4.25% depending on the underlying base rate. LIBOR rates are subject to a 0.50% floor. The interest rate at September 30, 2022 was 7.07%. The Term Loan B requires quarterly payments of 0.25% of the original principal amount, with the balance due on the seventh anniversary of the closing date.
The credit agreement governing the Term Loan B does not require OpCo to comply with any financial maintenance covenants but contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and provisions relating to events of default.

Note 3 — 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 2022 and 2027. A portion of leases are denominated in foreign currencies.
For both operating and finance leases, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) 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 and vehicles 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.
The components of lease expense consists of the following:

Note 4 — Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets

The Company tests goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles for impairment at least annually or more frequently whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that it might be impaired. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s market capitalization declined significantly, driven by rising interest rates and macroeconomic conditions. Additionally, the Company has slowed its expansion plans for the Services reporting unit. Based on these events, the Company concluded that an indicator of impairment existed for the Services reporting unit related to its goodwill during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Goodwill impairment is evaluated based on a discounted cash flow method (Level 3). Significant assumptions and estimates are required, including, but not limited to, projecting future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and terminal growth rates, and other assumptions, to estimate the fair value of goodwill. In addition, the Company’s publicly traded market capitalization was reconciled to the sum of the fair values of the reporting units. Although the Company believes the assumptions and estimates made are reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact its reported financial results.

As a result of the Company's interim impairment test, the Company determined that the fair value of the Services reporting unit was less than it's carrying value, resulting in a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $47.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. No impairment was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Table of Contents
Amortizable intangibles

Amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets.

Due to the aforementioned goodwill impairment, during the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred for certain amortizable intangible assets and conducted Step 1 of impairment testing utilizing undiscounted cash flows. No additional impairment was recorded as a result of this test.
Intangible assets consist of the following at:

Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization$176,936 $190,662 
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 September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $4.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively, and $13.6 million and $17.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The in-process research and development (“IPRD”), intangible assets represent the value assigned to three acquired Research and Development ("R&D") projects that principally represent rights to develop and sell products that the Company has acquired which has 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. In the event that the efforts are not successful, the Company will write off the relevant IPRD in the period in which it is no longer considered feasible. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company opted out of two of the acquired projects, effectively abandoning the associated research and development efforts. Accordingly, the Company wrote off the associated IPRD assets of $3.8 million, the expense for which is included as amortization expense in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Note 5 — Income Tax
Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 0.7% and (0.9)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and (4.0)% and (10.8)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, including discrete items. Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was different than the U.S federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the effects of a change in valuation allowance, state taxes, and foreign global intangible low-taxed income inclusion.
The Company has assessed the realizability of the net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022 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 to realize its deferred tax assets. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the benefit from recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $106.3 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. In future periods, if we conclude we have future taxable income sufficient to recognize the deferred tax assets, we may reduce or eliminate the valuation allowance.
Note 6 — Earnings per Share
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
Basic loss per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net loss available to PetIQ, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net loss available to PetIQ, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.

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.
The computation of dilutive effect of other potential common shares excludes all stock options and restricted stock units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, as the inclusion under the treasury stock method would have been antidilutive. The dilutive impact of the Notes have not been included in the dilutive loss per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 as they would have been antidilutive.
Note 7 — Stock Based Compensation

PetIQ, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan

The PetIQ, Inc. Amended and Restated 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan, (the “Plan”), provides for the grant of various equity-based incentive awards to directors of the Company, employees, and consultants. The types of equity-based awards that may be granted under the Plan include: stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and other stock-based awards. On June 22, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Plan to, among other things, increase the total number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock reserved and available for issuance thereunder by 1,890 thousand shares resulting in a total of 5,804 thousand shares of Class A common stock issuable under the Plan. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, 2,081 thousand and 713 thousand shares were available for issuance under the Plan, respectively. All awards issued under the Plan may only be settled in shares of Class A common stock. Shares issued pursuant to awards under the incentive plans are from our authorized but unissued shares.
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 an acquisition in 2018 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, of which 760 thousand were granted. No further grants may be made under the Inducement Plan. All awards issued under the Inducement 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 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 $0.5 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $1.7 million and $4.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. All stock based compensation expense is included in selling, 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 September 30, 2022 and 2021:
September 30, 2022September 30, 2021
Expected term (years) (1)
6.256.17
Expected volatility (2)
37.21 %33.45 %
Risk-free interest rate (3)
1.44 %0.89 %
Dividend yield (4)
0.00 %0.00 %
(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 September 30, 2022 was $9.14 per option. At September 30, 2022, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $3.7 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

Restricted Stock Units
The Company awards RSUs to certain employees and directors under the Plan, which are subject to time-based vesting conditions. Upon a termination of service relationship by the Company, all unvested RSUs will be forfeited and the shares of common stock underlying such awards will become available for issuance under the Plan. The fair value of RSUs are measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant. At September 30, 2022, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs was $17.2 million and is expected to vest over a weighted average period of 3.0 years.
The fair value of these equity awards is amortized to equity based compensation expense over the vesting period, which totaled $1.7 million and $6.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $1.7 million and $3.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation Contingencies
The Company records a liability when a particular contingency is both probable and estimable. If the probable loss cannot be reasonably estimated, no accrual is recorded, but the loss contingency and the reasons to the effect that it cannot be reasonably estimated are disclosed. If a loss is reasonably possible, the Company will provide disclosure to that affect. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Company had $1.2 million and $3.5 million accrued on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, respectively. The Company expenses legal costs as incurred within selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company entered into mediation with a third party who had filed a class action lawsuit against the Company. As a result of that mediation, the Company accrued the expected settlement of $1.4 million as SG&A expense during the period, the settlement and final payment are expected to be finalized in the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Commitments
We have commitments for leases and long-term debt that are discussed further in Note 2, Debt, and Note 3, Leases. In addition, we have purchase obligations for goods and services, capital expenditures, and raw materials entered into in the normal course of business.
Note 12 — 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 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following is a discussion of our results of operations and current financial condition. This should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for PetIQ, Inc., filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the year ended December 31, 2021. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs and involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to PetIQ, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries.

Business Overview
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 and e-commerce channels with our branded and distributed medications as well as health and wellness items, which are further supported by our world-class medications manufacturing facility in Omaha, Nebraska and health and wellness manufacturing facility in Springville, Utah. Our national service platform, operates in over 2,600 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 that 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 and wellness services and and products 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.

Macroeconomic Considerations

Unfavorable conditions in the economy both in the United States and abroad may negatively affect the growth of our business and our results of operations. For example, macroeconomic events including the COVID-19 pandemic, rising inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve raising interest rates and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have led to economic uncertainty. These factors may reduce economic growth, increase the chances of a global recession, and affect consumers’ ability to pay for our products and services.

The global COVID-19 pandemic created significant volatility, disruption and uncertainty. We have continued to experience certain negative effects as a result of the pandemic, including labor related shortages. Nonetheless, COVID-19 has presented new opportunities for our business as it has accelerated pet owner purchases of veterinary-grade pet products from retail and e-commerce channels. Consumers have started to resume normal activities, including seeking in person veterinary care for their companion animals, and more businesses have commenced resuming operations. There can be no assurance that such positive trends will continue or that there will not be any increases of new infections or new variants that may impede or reverse recovery and such positive trends.

The effect of macroeconomic conditions may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods. However, if economic uncertainty increases or the global economy worsens, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be harmed. For further discussion of the potential impacts of macroeconomic events on our business, financial condition, and operating results, see “Risk Factors” included in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Consolidated Net Sales
Consolidated net sales decreased $0.8 million or 0.4%, to $209.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $210.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was driven by a reduction in product sales of $5.4 million of which approximately $3.5 million was due to lost distribution of certain manufacturers' products to certain customers, and due to negative macroeconomic trends in consumer spending, partially offset by price

increases. The Services segment revenues grew by $4.5 million as we served more pets and increased our average dollar per pet served.
Products Segment
Product sales decreased $5.4 million, or 2.9%, to $176.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $181.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was driven by lost distribution of certain manufacturers' products to certain customers which reduced sales by approximately $3.5 million and due to negative macroeconomic trends in consumer spending, partially offset by price increases.
Services Segment
Services revenue increased $4.5 million, or 15.6%, to $33.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $29.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Same-store sales increased $7.9 million, or 36.2%, to $29.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $21.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in same-store sales was driven by increased average dollar per pet served as well as a small increase in pet counts. Non same-store sales decreased $3.4 million or 46.4%, to $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in non same-store sales was due to lower store count driven by a number of wellness centers aging into the same-store base.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased by $8.7 million, or 20.7%, to $50.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $42.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase is driven by the Products segment gross profit increasing by $5.3 million due to product mix, price increases/timing of purchases, and operational efficiency as well as due to improvements in Services segment gross profit of $3.4 million.
Gross margin increased to 24.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to 20.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Products segment gross margin improved due to the mix of products sold as our manufactured product sales increased and due to the impact of pricing. Additionally, Services segment margin grew due to efficiency improvements and due to increased average dollar per pet served.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased by $0.7 million, or 1.6%, to $46.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $45.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased from 21.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to 21.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Company had higher selling and marketing costs for both Products and Services segment to support the launch of new products and was impacted by inflationary pressures across other categories. Additional items are detailed below.
Products Segment
Products segment SG&A increased $1.5 million or approximately 16.5% to $10.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher selling costs related to product launches.
Services Segment
Services segment SG&A decreased $0.5 million, or 7.6%, to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was driven by lower new clinic opening expenses, partially offset by increased variable costs on higher sales.

Table of Contents
Unallocated Corporate
Unallocated corporate SG&A decreased $0.6 million, or 1.9%, to $29.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $29.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was related to the following:
An increase in marketing and advertising of $2.1 million;
additional corporate compensation of approximately $1.6 million, driven by higher headcount and higher wages driven by inflation; and
an increase in acquisition related expenses on an abandoned acquisition target of $1.0 million; offset by
a $2.0 million milestone accrual for research and development in 2021 which did not recur; and
a legal contingency of approximately $2.3 million was accrued for in 2021 that did not recur in 2022.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net, increased $1.1 million to $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was driven by the higher rates on the Company's variable rate debt due to rising interest rates.
Provision for income taxes
Our effective tax rate was 0.7% and (4.0%) for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, with a tax benefit of $0.4 million and a tax expense of $0.3 million, respectively. The tax rate is different than the U.S federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the effects of a change in valuation allowance, state taxes, and foreign Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI “) inclusion.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA
Products Segment
Products segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.9 million, or 5.8% to $35.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $33.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. 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 increase in Products segment Adjusted EBITDA relates primarily to higher margin percentage on improved mix of manufactured vs. distributed products and price increases.
Services Segment
Services segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $0.4 million, or 10.6% to $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. 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 clinic costs. Services segment EBITDA improved as a result of efficiency including the company’s scheduling optimization efforts and increased average dollar per pet served.
Unallocated Corporate
Unallocated corporate expenses consist of corporate costs including accounting, legal, human resources, information technology, and headquarters expenses, as well as executive compensation and company incentive compensation expenses, and other miscellaneous costs. Unallocated corporate costs have grown due to the growth in the size of the Company. Adjustments to unallocated corporate costs include expenses related to specific events, such as acquisition expenses and

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared With Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Net sales
Consolidated Net Sales
Consolidated net sales increased $1.5 million, or 0.2%, to $737.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $735.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was driven by price increases in both segments, as well as additional pet traffic in the Services segment and new products sold in the Products segment. The increase was partially offset by the loss of distribution business in the Products segment.
Products Segment
Product sales decreased $11.5 million, or 1.8%, to $643.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $654.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was driven by lost distribution of certain manufacturers' products which reduced sales by approximately $35.6 million. This reduction in sales was partially offset by price increases and the launch of several new products.
Services Segment
Services revenue increased $13.1 million, or 16.1%, to $94.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $81.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Same-store sales increased $14.8 million, or 23.1%, to $78.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $63.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in same-store sales was driven by higher average dollar per pet served, as well as increased pet counts in wellness centers, offset by fewer community clinics being run as part of the optimization efforts undertaken by the Company. Non same-store sales decreased $1.7 million or 9.9%, to $15.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $17.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in non same-store sales was a result of slowed openings of additional wellness centers in 2022, as well as by wellness centers aging into the same-store base, offset slightly by the maturation of clinics opened in the past six trailing quarters.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased by $20.9 million, or 14.0%, to $170.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $149.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase is due to efficiency improvements in the Services Segment due to clinic optimization efforts and higher average dollar per pet, as well as price increases and improved product mix in the Products segment, partially offset by the loss of certain distribution business.
Gross margin increased to 23.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to 20.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was driven by product sales growth in higher margin items manufactured by the Company, price increases, and the loss of low margin distribution business resulting in Products segment gross margin improving 250 basis points. In the Services segment gross margin is up 700 basis points on the operational improvements and price increases previously mentioned.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Consolidated SG&A increased by $15.7 million, or 12.2%, to $144.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $129.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased from 17.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to 19.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the increase in marketing and advertising expenses, higher compensation and benefits, and increased legal costs, partially offset by the amortization of $3.8 million due to the termination of an in-process research and development agreement that did not recur in 2022.
Products Segment
Products segment SG&A increased $5.5 million or approximately 18.8% to $34.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $29.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was driven by planned investment in selling and advertising costs related primarily to new product launches.

This increase was driven by increased wages and marketing, as well as increased variable costs on higher sales.

Unallocated corporate SG&A increased $8.4 million, or 10.3%, to $90.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from $82.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was related to the following:
Additional corporate compensation of approximately $5.7 million, driven by growth in headcount and wage rates;
an increase in marketing and advertising of approximately $5.0 million; and
an increase in acquisition related expenses on an abandoned acquisition target of $1.0 million;
an increase in legal accruals of approximately $1.0 million; offset by
lower amortization due to the $3.8 million in accelerated amortization recorded in the prior period related to the in-process research and development asset, with no comparable event in the current year; and
lower costs related to the Company's refinance in 2021 of approximately $1.0 million, with no comparable event in the current year.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net, increased $1.0 million to $19.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $18.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was driven higher interest rates on the Company's variable rate debt due to the United States Federal Reserve raising benchmark interest rates.
Provision for income taxes
Our effective tax rate was (0.9%) and (10.8%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, with a tax expense of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The tax rate is different than the U.S federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the effects of a change in valuation allowance, state taxes, and foreign GILTI inclusion.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA
Products Segment
Products segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $6.2 million, or 5.2% to $126.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $120.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Products segment Adjusted EBITDA fluctuates based on the quantity and mix of products sold, specifically whether the products are manufactured by PetIQ, or are distributed for other manufacturers. The Company benefited in the current period by increased sales of manufactured products, from 26.9% of product sales to 29.0% of product sales.
Services Segment
Services segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.0 million, or 34.0% to $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Services segment Adjusted EBITDA can fluctuate considerably based on the volume of pets served per clinics, due to the relatively fixed cost nature of a clinic. Additionally, Services segment earnings are impacted by the opening of new wellness centers and the impact of the Company’s same-store portfolio, discussed further below. Services segment Adjusted EBITDA improved due to the optimization efforts and price increases previously noted.
Unallocated Corporate
Unallocated corporate Adjusted EBITDA decreased due to the previously mentioned changes in SG&A costs.

Depending on the type of costs, the costs are primarily in the Products and the corporate segments. Costs of discontinued clinics represent costs to close Services segment locations.
Consolidated Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. We calculate EBITDA as net (loss) adjusted for income tax (benefit), depreciation, amortization, goodwill impairment, and interest expense, net. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for acquisition costs, loss on debt extinguishment and related costs, stock based compensation expense, non same-store adjustment, integration costs and costs of discontinued clinics, litigation expenses, CFO transition, and other one-time 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. Additionally, beginning with the period ending December 31, 2022 we anticipate no longer adding back the non-same store adjustment in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.
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
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 supplementary. You should review the reconciliations of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources
Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, borrowings, and equity capital. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents were $56.7 million and $79.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, we had no balance outstanding under a revolving credit facility, $296.3 million under a term loan, $143.8 million of outstanding Convertible Notes, and $20.6 million in other debt. Our debt agreements bear interest at rates between 4.0% and 7.07%.
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
34

Table of Contents
additional veterinary clinics. Our primary working capital requirements are to fund Inventory and Accounts Receivable to support our sales. Fluctuations in working capital are primarily driven by the timing of new product launches and seasonal retailer demand. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $220.3 million and $200.5 million, respectively. The Company has not historically made significant non-contractual debt pay downs, but may choose to do so in the future as part of its capital allocation strategy.

We believe that our operating cash flow, cash on hand, and debt proceeds from our borrowings under our credit facilities will be adequate to meet our operating, investing, and financing needs for at least the next 12 months. We believe we will meet our longer-term expected future cash requirements primarily from a combination of cash flow from operating activities, borrowings under our debt facilities and available cash and cash equivalents. 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 $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $10.5 million provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The change in operating cash flows primarily reflects higher cash usage for working capital partially offset by higher earnings excluding the effect of the $47.3 million goodwill impairment, which is non-cash in nature. Working capital changes are driven primarily by inventory growth, as prior year end inventory was unusually low due to a variety of factors, and changes in accounts receivable growth which fluctuate based on seasonality and timing of sales within the period. Net changes in assets and liabilities accounted for $41.9 million in cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $28.2 million of cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Cash used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $19.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities is a result of lower investment in new wellness centers as well as the investment in construction of a new corporate headquarters in 2021 that did not recur in 2022. Additionally, the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included approximately $5.0 million of proceeds on the disposal of assets, which had no comparable event in 2022.
Cash (used in) provided by Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $38.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The change in cash (used in) provided by financing activities is primarily driven by the refinance activities that occurred in 2021 and did not recur in 2022 as well as significant option exercise activity in 2021 that did not recur in 2022. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2022 the Company used $3.9 million to repurchase 373,408 Class A common stock at a weighted average price of $10.33 per share under the newly approved stock buy back plan, inclusive of commissions.

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.
35

Table of Contents
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates because the indebtedness incurred under our ABL and our Term Loan B are variable rate debt. Interest rate changes generally do not affect the recorded value of our credit agreements but do affect the amount of our interest payments and, therefore, our future earnings and cash flows. As of September 30, 2022, we had variable rate debt of approximately $296.3 million under our Revolver and Term Loan. An increase of 1% would have increased our interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 by approximately $0.8 million.
Inflation
Inflation is a factor in our business and we continue to seek ways to mitigate its effect. Inflation has affected our performance in terms of higher costs for employees compensation and benefits, products that we distribute, and components of products we manufacture. We believe the effects of inflation, if any, on our historical results of operations and financial condition have not been material as we have been able to effectively implement price adjustments to pass-through the additional costs. However, in the future, we may not be able to increase prices to our customers sufficiently to offset these increased costs.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
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 September 30, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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. 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.
The Company records a liability when a particular contingency is both probable and estimable. If the probable loss cannot be reasonably estimated, no accrual is recorded, but the loss contingency and the reasons to the effect that it cannot be reasonably estimated are disclosed. If a loss is reasonably possible, the Company will provide disclosure to that affect. The Company expenses legal costs as incurred within selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For information on legal proceedings, please refer to Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report are any of the risks disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022.

Global economic conditions may harm our industry, business and results of operations.

We operate globally and as a result, our business, revenues and profitability are impacted by global macroeconomic conditions. The success of our activities is affected by general economic and market conditions, including, among others, inflation, interest rates, tax rates, economic uncertainty, political instability, warfare, changes in laws, trade barriers, and economic and trade sanctions. The U.S. capital markets experienced and continue to experience extreme volatility and disruption following the global outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Furthermore, inflation rates in the U.S. have recently increased to levels not seen in decades. Such economic volatility could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and future market disruptions could negatively impact us. These unfavorable economic conditions could increase our operating costs and our profitability could be negatively affected. Geopolitical destabilization and warfare have impacted and could continue to impact global currency exchange rates, commodity prices, trade and movement of resources, which may adversely affect the buying power of our customers, our access to and cost of resources from our suppliers, and ability to operate or grow our business. In addition, from time to time, the U.S. and other key international economies have been impacted by geopolitical and economic instability, high levels of credit defaults, international trade disputes, changes in demand for various goods and services, high levels of persistent unemployment, wage and income stagnation, restricted credit, poor liquidity, reduced corporate profitability, volatility in credit, equity and foreign exchange markets, inflation, bankruptcies, international trade agreements, export controls, economic and trade sanctions, and overall economic uncertainty. These conditions can arise suddenly and could adversely affect our customers' or prospective customers' ability or willingness to purchase our products and services, delay purchasing decisions, all of which could harm our operating results. Further, while our ability to do business has not been materially affected, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the global restrictive measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, have created significant global economic uncertainty that could prolong and escalate tensions and expand the geopolitical conflict, which could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies, any of which could harm our business and operating results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Results of Operations
As described under Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Stock Repurchase Program,” on September 6, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $30 million of Class A common stock.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 373,408 shares at a weighted average price of $10.31 per share.
