Use of Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are based on information that is currently available and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Derivative Instruments

In November 2022, the Company entered into a series of interest rate cap agreements to limit the maximum interest on a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt and decrease its exposure to interest rate variability relating to the three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate as published by CME Group ("Term SOFR"). The interest rate caps became effective December 30, 2022 and expire on December 31, 2024. The interest rate caps are accounted for as cash flow hedges, and changes in the fair value of the interest rate caps are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI").

In March 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate collar agreement to limit the maximum interest on a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt and decrease its exposure to interest rate variability relating to three-month Term SOFR. The interest rate collar became effective March 31, 2023 and expires on March 31, 2026.

In June 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate collar agreement to limit the maximum interest on a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt and decrease its exposure to interest rate variability relating to three-month Term SOFR. The interest rate collar became effective September 30, 2023 and expires on December 31, 2026.

In December 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate collar agreement to limit the maximum interest on a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt and decrease its exposure to interest rate variability relating to three-month Term SOFR. The interest rate collar becomes effective December 31, 2024 and expires on December 31, 2026.

In March 2024, the Company entered into two interest rate collar agreements to limit the maximum interest on a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt and decrease its exposure to interest rate variability relating to three-month Term SOFR. The interest rate collars become effective on December 31, 2024 and expire on December 31, 2026.

The interest rate collars are accounted for as cash flow hedges, and changes in the fair value of the interest rate collars are reported as a component of AOCI.

In August 2024, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix the interest rate on a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt and decrease its exposure to interest rate variability relating to three-month Term SOFR. The interest rate swap becomes effective September 30, 2024 and expires on December 31, 2026.

3. Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On March 4, 2021, the Company entered into a $1,700.0 million secured term loan facility maturing on March 4, 2028 (the “First Lien Term Loan”) and a secured asset-based revolving credit facility with availability of up to $500.0 million, subject to a borrowing base, originally maturing on March 4, 2026 (as amended from time to time, the “ABL Revolving Credit Facility”). In March 2024, the Company amended the ABL Revolving Credit Facility, which now consists of two tranches, to increase its total availability from $500.0 million to $581.0 million and extend the maturity on a portion of this availability. The first tranche has availability of up to $35.0 million, subject to a borrowing base, maturing on March 4, 2026. The second tranche has availability of up to $546.0 million, subject to a borrowing base, maturing on March 29, 2029. Interest on the ABL Revolving Credit Facility is now basedon, at the Company's option, either the base rate subject to a 1% floor, or Term SOFR subject to a floor of 0%, plus an applicable margin. All other key terms of the ABL Revolving Credit Facility remained unchanged.

As of August 3, 2024, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the First Lien Term Loan and the ABL Revolving Credit Facility.

Term Loan Facilities

Interest on the First Lien Term Loan is based on, at the Company’s option, either a base rate or Term SOFR plus the credit spread adjustment recommended by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee ("Adjusted Term SOFR"), subject to a 0.75% floor, payable upon maturity of the SOFR contract, in either case plus the applicable rate. The base rate is the greater of the bank prime rate, federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.0%. The applicable rate is 2.25% per annum for a base rate loan or 3.25% per annum for an Adjusted Term SOFR loan. Principal and interest payments commenced on June 30, 2021. Principal payments are normally $4.25 million quarterly.

The Company voluntarily repaid $35.0 million and $25.0 million of the principal of the First Lien Term Loan using existing cash on hand in March 2023 and May 2023, respectively. The repayments were applied to the remaining principal payments in order of scheduled payment date and, as a result, the entire remaining balance was included in senior secured credit facilities, net, excluding current portion in the consolidated balance sheets as of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024. The Company accounted for the repayments as partial extinguishments and recognized losses on debt extinguishment of $0.3 million and $0.7 million during the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 29, 2023, respectively.

As of August 3, 2024, the outstanding principal balance of the First Lien Term Loan was $1,595.3 million ($1,580.5 million, net of the unamortized discount and debt issuance costs). As of February 3, 2024, the outstanding principal balance of the First Lien Term Loan was $1,595.3 million ($1,578.6 million, net of the unamortized discount and debt issuance costs). The weighted average interest rate on the borrowings outstanding was 9.0% and 9.0% as of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, respectively. Debt issuance costs are being amortized over the contractual term to interest expense using the effective interest rate in effect at issuance. As of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, the estimated fair value of the First Lien Term Loan was approximately $1,451.7 million and $1,497.6 million, respectively, based upon Level 2 fair value hierarchy inputs.

Revolving Credit Facilities

In March 2024, the Company amended the ABL Revolving Credit Facility to increase its total availability and extend the maturity on a portion of the availability. Fees of $3.0 million relating to the Company’s entry into the amendment were capitalized as debt issuance costs. These fees consisted of arranger fees and other third-party expenses. The unamortized portion of the debt issuance costs of the ABL Revolving Credit Facility previously capitalized is being amortized over the amended contractual term.

As of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, no amounts were outstanding under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. As of August 3, 2024, $527.6 million was available under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility, which is net of $53.4 million of outstanding letters of credit issued in the normal course of business andno borrowing base reduction for a shortfall in qualifying assets. As of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, unamortized debt issuance costs of $4.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, relating to the ABL Revolving Credit Facility were outstanding and were being amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the agreement.

The ABL Revolving Credit Facility has availability up to $581.0 million and a $150.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. The availability is limited to a borrowing base, which allows borrowings of up to 90% of eligible accounts receivable plus 90% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory plus up to $50.0 million of qualified cash of the Company to which the Company and guarantors have no access, less reserves as determined by the administrative agent. Letters of credit reduce the amount available to borrow under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility by their face value.

Prior to the March 2024 amendment, interest on the ABL Revolving Credit Facility was based on, at the Company’s option, either the base rate or Adjusted Term SOFR subject to a floor of 0%, in either case, plus an applicable margin. Followingthe March 2024 amendment, interest on the ABL Revolving Credit Facility is now basedon, at the Company’s option, either the base rate subject to a 1% floor, or Term SOFR subject to a floor of 0%, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is currently equal to 25 basis points in the case of base rate loans and 125 basis points in the case of Term SOFR loans.

The applicable margin is adjusted quarterly based on the average historical excess availability as a percentage of the Line Cap, which represents the lesser of the aggregate ABL Revolving Credit Facility and the borrowing base, as follows:

The ABL Revolving Credit Facility is subject to an unused commitment fee. If the actual daily utilized portion exceeds 50%, the unused commitment fee is 0.25%. Otherwise, the unused commitment fee is 0.375% and is not dependent upon excess availability.

4. Derivative Instruments

The interest rate caps and collars are accounted for as cash flow hedges because they are expected to be highly effective in hedging variable rate interest payments. Changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedges are reported as a component of AOCI. As of August 3, 2024, AOCI included unrealized losses of $6.4 million ($4.9 million, net of tax). As of February 3, 2024, AOCI included unrealized losses of $2.2 million ($1.7 million, net of tax). Approxim ately $1.1 million and$2.3 million of pre-tax gains deferred in AOCI were reclassified to interest expense during the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 3, 2024, respectively. Approximately $0.5 million and $1.1 million of pre-tax losses deferred in AOCI were reclassified to interest expense during the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 29, 2023, respectively. The Company currently estimates that$1.8 million of losses related to trade date costs on its cash flow hedges that are currently deferred in AOCI will be reclassified to interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations within the next twelve months. This estimate could vary based on actual amounts as a result of changes in market conditions.

The cash flow hedges are reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as follows (in thousands):

5. Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

The following table presents information about assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands):

The fair value of money market mutual funds is based on quoted market prices, such as quoted net asset values published by the fund as supported in an active market. Money market mutual funds included in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $71.5 million and $69.6 million as of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, respectively. Also included in the Company’s money market mutual funds balances were $4.5 million and $10.6 million as of August 3, 2024 and February 3, 2024, respectively, which relate to the Company’s restricted cash, and are included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan for key executives and other members of management, which is funded by investments in officers’ life insurance. The fair value of this obligation is based on participants’ elected investments, which reflect the closing market prices of similar assets.

In February 2022, the Company amended a collaboration agreement with a vendor, and as part of the amendment the Company was granted a right to receive equity and warrants for common shares of the vendor that is subject to certain performance conditions and other contingencies. The warrants were exercised in July 2024. Cash consideration for the exercise of the warrants was de minimis. The Company's interest is accounted for as an investment in an equity security without a readily determinable fair value. When an upward or downward adjustment occurs, the resulting gains or losses are included in other non-operating income in the consolidated statements of operations.

In April 2023, the Company sold its interest in Rover Group, Inc. Class A common stock to a buyer at a price determined based on the daily volume weighted average price, in addition to a premium, over an agreed upon period. The Company's interest in the unsettled cash proceeds were remeasured at fair value at each reporting period, and the resulting gains or losses were included in other non-operating income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Assets Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company’s non-financial assets, which primarily consist of goodwill, other intangible assets, fixed assets and equity and other investments, are reported at carrying value, or at fair value as of the date of the Company’s acquisition of Petco Holdings, Inc. LLC on January 26, 2016, and are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, on a periodic basis (at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable), non-financial assets are assessed for impairment. If impaired, the carrying values of the assets are written down to fair value using Level 3 inputs.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, due to declines in the Company's share price, the Company performed an interim impairment test of its goodwill and indefinite-lived trade name. As the estimated fair value of the Company's reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value, the Company concluded that the carrying amount of goodwill was recoverable and did not record a goodwill impairment charge during the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The fair value of the Company's reporting unit was based upon an equal weighting of the income and market approaches, utilizing estimated cash flows and a terminal value, discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows, as well as valuation multiples derived from comparable publicly traded companies that are applied to operating performance of the reporting unit.

Significant assumptions used in the determination of fair value of the reporting unit generally include prospective financial information, discount rates, terminal growth rates, and earnings multiples. The discounted cash flow model used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 reflected the Company's most recent cash flow projections, a discount rate of 13.2%, and a terminal growth rate of 3%. The reporting unit fair value measurement is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because it involves significant unobservable inputs.

The fair value of the Company’s trade name was estimated by management using the relief from royalty valuation method, which estimates the hypothetical royalties that would have to be paid if the trade name was not owned. The fair value of the Company's trade name reflected the Company's most recent revenue projections, a discount rate of 14.2% and a terminal growth rate of 3%. The Company concluded that the fair value of its trade name exceeded its carrying value, and thereforeno trade name impairment charge was recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company's trade name fair value measurement is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because it involves significant unobservable inputs.

There were no triggering events identified and no indications of impairment of the Company’s goodwill, indefinite-lived trade name, other intangible assets or equity and other investments during the thirteen week period ended August 3, 2024 and the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 29, 2023. During the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 3, 2024, the Company recorded fixed asset and right-of-use asset impairment charges of $3.4 million and $6.9 million, respectively. During the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 29, 2023, the Company recorded fixed asset and right-of-use asset impairment charges of $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

6. Stockholders’ Equity

Equity-Based Compensation

Equity-based compensation awards under the Company’s current equity incentive plan (as amended, the “2021 Equity Incentive Plan”) include restricted stock units (“RSUs,” which include performance-based stock units), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), non-qualified stock options, and other equity compensation awards. In addition, the Company has made equity-based compensation awards of RSUs and non-qualified stock options outside of the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan as employment inducement awards (collectively, the “Inducement Awards”). The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”).

The Company’s controlling parent, Scooby LP, also maintains an incentive plan (the “2016 Incentive Plan”) under which it has awarded partnership unit awards to certain current and former employees, consultants, and non-employee directors of the Company that are restricted profit interests in Scooby LP subject to a distribution threshold (“Series C Units”).

The following table summarizes the Company’s equity-based compensation expense by award type (in thousands):

Activity under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan and the Inducement Awards was as follows (shares and dollars in thousands):

The ESPP allows eligible employees to contribute up to 15% of their base earnings towards purchases of Class A common stock, subject to an annual maximum. The purchase price will be 85% of the lower of (i) the fair market value of the stock on the associated lookback date and (ii) the fair market value of the stock on the last day of the related purchase period.

Series C Unit activity under the 2016 Incentive Plan was as follows (in thousands):

No additional Series C Units have been or will be awarded following the Company’s initial public offering. As of August 3, 2024, unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of Scooby LP’s Series C Units was $0.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.8 years. In addition to acceleration upon a change in control, a portion of grantees’ Series C Units may vest upon certain levels of direct or indirect sales by Scooby LP of the Company’s Class A common stock, and all unvested Series C Units will fully accelerate in the event Scooby LP sells 90% of its direct or indirect holdings of the Company’s Class A common stock.

Loss Per Share

Potentially dilutive securities include potential Class A common shares related to outstanding stock options, unvested RSUs and RSAs, and the ESPP, calculated using the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted shares outstanding excludes securities where the combination of the exercise or purchase price (in the case of options and the ESPP) and the associated unrecognized compensation expense is greater than the average market price of Class A common shares because the inclusion of these securities would be anti-dilutive.

All outstanding equity awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per Class A and B-1 common share in the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023, as their effect would be antidilutive in a net loss period.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in legal proceedings and is subject to other claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company has made accruals with respect to certain of these matters, where appropriate, which are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements but are not, individually or in the aggregate, considered material. For other matters, the Company has not made accruals because management has not yet determined that a loss is probable or because the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated. While the ultimate outcome of the matters cannot be determined, the Company currently does not expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements. The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain, however, and if decided adversely to the Company, or if the Company determines that settlement of particular litigation is appropriate, the Company may be subject to liability that could have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.
