Current report

Gross profit for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2025 increased by $69.8 million, or 8.2%, to $923.8 million compared to $854.0 million in the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2024. This increase was primarily due to the year-over-year increase in net sales as described above. Gross margin for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2025 was 29.6%, a decrease of 10 basis points compared to 29.7% for the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2024. The decline in gross margin was primarily due to the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2024 benefiting from certain one-time items including the timing of vendor reimbursements, lower fuel costs, and a lower than expected promotional environment. Sponsored ads continues to be the largest driver of gross margin improvement, combined with strong autoship and product mix shift into margin accretive categories.

Current report

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2025 increased by $50.5 million, or 8.4%, to $653.1 million compared to $602.6 million in the thirteen weeks ended April 28, 2024. This was primarily due to an increase of $36.6 million in costs associated with expansion of operations at our fulfillment center in Houston, Texas and the continued expansion of our pharmacy fulfillment network, to support the overall growth of our business. We also experienced increases of $8.5 million in share-based compensation expense and related taxes, and an increase of $5.4 million in facilities expenses, principally due to business growth and new return to office initiatives at our corporate offices in Plantation, Florida and Boston, Massachusetts.

Current report

Net cash used in investing activities was $41.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2025, primarily consisting of $37.7 million for capital expenditures related to expanding operations at our Houston, Texas fulfillment center, veterinary clinics, and future pharmacy facility capabilities.

This increase was primarily driven by growth in customer spending from both new and existing customers, and the frequency with which customers purchase and subscribe to our Autoship subscription program. Net sales per active customer increased $23, or 4.2%, in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2024 compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2023, driven by growth across our healthcare and specialty businesses.

This increase was primarily due to the year-over-year increase in net sales as described above. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2024 increased by 80 basis points compared to the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 2023, primarily due to supply chain efficiency gains across our network as well as margin expansion across our consumables, healthcare, and private brands businesses.

This was primarily due to an increase of $14.6 million in non-cash share-based compensation expense and related taxes, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in fulfillment costs attributable to automation and supply chain efficiencies within our fulfillment network, while facilities expenses and other general and administrative expenses remained consistent.

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed here and elsewhere in this 10-Q Report adjusted net income and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share, which represent non-GAAP financial measures. We calculate adjusted net income as net income excluding share-based compensation expense and related taxes, changes in valuation allowances associated with deferred tax assets, changes in the fair value of equity warrants, and severance and exit costs. We calculate adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share by dividing adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. We have provided a reconciliation below of adjusted net income to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

We calculate adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share by dividing adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period.

Previous wording

We have included adjusted net income and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share in this 10-Q Report because each is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating adjusted net income and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share facilitates operating performance comparability across reporting periods by removing the effect of non-cash expenses and certain variable gains and losses that do not represent a component of our core business operations. We believe it is useful to exclude non-cash share-based compensation expense because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. We believe it is useful to exclude changes in valuation allowances associated with deferred tax assets as this is not a component of our core business operations. We believe it is useful to exclude changes in the fair value of equity warrants because the variability of equity warrant gains and losses is not representative of our underlying operations. We believe it is useful to exclude severance and exit costs because these expenses represent temporary initiatives to realign resources and enhance operational efficiency, which are not components of our core business operations. Accordingly, we believe that these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

As of the last date of each reporting period, we determine our number of active customers by counting the total number of individual customers who have ordered a product or service, and for whom a product has shipped or for whom a service has been provided, at least once during the preceding 364-day period. The change in active customers in a reporting period captures both the inflow of new customers and the outflow of customers who have not made a purchase in the last 364 days. We view the number of active customers as a key indicator of our growth—acquisition and retention of customers—as a result of our marketing efforts and the value we provide to our customers. The number of active customers has grown over time as we acquired new customers and retained previously acquired customers.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and availability under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital, capital expenditure requirements, and contractual obligations for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we may choose to raise additional funds at any time through equity or debt financing arrangements, which may or may not be needed for additional working capital, capital expenditures, share repurchases, or other strategic investments. Our opinions concerning liquidity are based on currently available information. To the extent this information proves to be inaccurate, or if circumstances change, future availability of trade credit or other sources of financing may be reduced and our liquidity could be adversely affected. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our 10-Q Report for the quarterly period ended April 28, 2024. Depending on the severity and direct impact of these factors on us, we may be unable to secure additional financing to meet our operating requirements on terms favorable to us, or at all.

The ABL Credit Facility provides the right to request incremental commitments and add incremental asset-based revolving loan facilities up to $250 million, subject to customary conditions. We are required to pay a 0.25% per annum commitment fee with respect to the undrawn portion of the commitments, which is generally based on average daily usage of the facility. Based on our borrowing base as of October 27, 2024, which is reduced by standby letters of credit, we had $777.6 million of borrowing capacity under the ABL Credit Facility. As of October 27, 2024 and January 28, 2024, we did not have any outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility, respectively.

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

Cost of goods sold for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2024 increased by $113.9 million, or 1.9%, to $6.1 billion compared to $6.0 billion in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in associated product, outbound freight, and shipping supply costs.
