[{"type":"text","content":"DELRAY BEACH, Fla., July 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PetMed Express, Inc. (NASDAQ: PETS), Your Trusted Pet Health ExpertTM, today announced its financial results for its first quarter ended June 30, 2022. Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, were $70.2 million, compared to $79.3 million for first quarter in the prior year, a decrease of 11.5%. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was $2.8 million, or $0.14 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $4.4 million, or $0.22 diluted earnings per share, for the prior year quarter ended June 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA (1) was $6.3 million, or $0.31 diluted earnings per share, for the current year quarter, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $7.1 million, or $0.35 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, a decrease to adjusted EBITDA of 10%. “While disappointed with the quarterly sales results, I remain encouraged by some of the underlying trends we are seeing,” said Matt Hulett, CEO and President, “We knew early in the quarter that the colder temperatures, particularly in April, would have a material impact to sales due to the delay in our seasonally sensitive flea and tick business. Absent that, we would have seen a stabilization of our business on a year-over-year basis especially in our loyal returning base. The business strengthened throughout the quarter, including a recovery in our business later in the quarter with improving new and returning customers.” Mr. Hulett added, “We are excited about our partnership with Vetster and pleased with how we quickly executed and launched the integration with this key strategic initiative in pet telemedicine. We see this as an important milestone on our roadmap to transform PetMeds from a prescription eCommerce company into a broader pet health brand. We continue to invest in our infrastructure, which includes processes, systems, and people. We have just enabled a new data warehouse that gives us deep insights into our first party data, and we recently announced the newest member of my team, Christine Chambers, Chief Financial Officer who will be joining us on August 3rd.” The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share on the Company’s common stock. The dividend will be payable on August 19, 2022, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 12, 2022. ...
