PetMed Express reports Q4 EPS (25c), consensus (7c)

Reports Q4 revenue $66.5M, consensus $65M. Net loss for the quarter was $(5.0) million, or $(0.25) diluted earnings per share. This compares to net loss of $(0.2) million, or $(0.01) diluted earnings per share, for the prior year quarter ended March 31, 2023. The increase in the net loss can be attributed to additional G&A, marketing expenses and an increase in depreciation and amortization associated with the acquisition. “Our results were negatively impacted by a challenging macro environment and industry dynamics, as well as a slow down in call center response times due to the implementation of our new Order Management System and Autoship platforms during the fourth quarter,” said Sandra Campos, CEO & President. “We are moving swiftly to continue to improve our systems and processes to drive a better customer experience, along with investing in additional technology resources.”
