"Pet Valu delivered very strong performance in the second quarter, underscored by robust industry growth together with the growing appeal of our brand within the Canadian marketplace," said Richard Maltsbarger, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Impressive top-line results were once again hallmarks in the quarter, on top of the strong growth seen last year, with system-wide sales now up almost 75% from pre-pandemic levels in Q2 2019.
"Following strong performance in the first half of the year, we have raised our 2022 outlook," continued Mr. Maltsbarger. "With a staples-oriented product mix together with the value offered through our broad proprietary brand portfolio and frequent buyers loyalty program, we believe we are well positioned to continue taking market share through our multi-faceted growth agenda in today's challenging macro environment."
All comparative figures below are for the 13-week period ended July 2, 2022, compared to the 13-week period ended July 3, 2021.
Revenue increased by 25.0% to $227.7 million, compared to $182.2 million in the second quarter last year. The current quarter includes $2.5 million of franchise and other revenues from the acquisition of Chico. The increase in revenue was driven by growth in retail sales, as well as franchise and other revenues.
Same-store sales growth was 21.2% in Q2 2022 primarily driven by a 19.3% increase in same-store transactions and a 1.5% increase in same-store average spend per transaction. This is compared to same-store sales growth of 28.4% in Q2 2021 primarily consisted of a 25.6% increase in same-store transactions and a 2.2% increase in same-store average spend per transaction. Same-store transactions and same-store average spend per transaction in Q2 2021 were impacted by a shift in consumer behaviour associated with COVID-19 restrictions.
Gross profit increased by $18.2 million, or 27.1%, to $85.4 million in Q2 2022, compared to $67.2 million in Q2 2021. Gross profit margin was 37.5% in Q2 2022 compared to 36.9% in Q2 2021. The gross profit margin increase was primarily driven by: (i) leverage gained on fixed costs due to higher revenue; (ii) the acquisition of Chico; partially offset by (iii) higher wholesale merchandise sales due to recovery from pandemic operating restrictions in Ontario in Q2 2021 and increased franchise penetration; and (iv) slightly lower product margins as price adjustments were more than offset by higher costs including incremental freight costs.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by 13.4% to $46.1 million, compared to $40.6 million in the second quarter last year. SG&A expenses were 20.2% of revenue compared to 22.3% of revenue in the second quarter last year. The increase of $5.5 million in SG&A expenses was primarily due to: (i) increased compensation costs as a result of headcount investments; (ii) higher advertising expenses; (iii) additional insurance from public company requirements; (iv) higher technology and telecommunication costs to continue the modernization of our technology infrastructure and expand our omni-channel capabilities; (v) lower gain on sale of corporate-owned stores; (vi) higher depreciation and amortization; partially offset by (vii) lower professional fees as Q2 2021 included fees to support the preparation of the initial public offering (the "Offering") and separation activities.
Adjusted EBITDA was $52.1 million, or 22.9% of revenue, compared to $42.3 million, or 23.2% of revenue, in the second quarter last year.
Net interest expense was $4.6 million in Q2 2022, a decrease of $15.4 million, or 77.2%, compared to $20.0 million in Q2 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by: (i) lower interest expense on the 2021 Term Facility (as defined in the Company's Management Discussion and Analysis for the second quarter ended July 2, 2022 ("the MD&A")) resulting from lower interest rates and lower total debt outstanding compared to the 2016 Term Loan (as defined in the MD&A) which was repaid at the end of Q2 2021; and (ii) lower amortization of deferred financing costs. The decrease in net interest expense is also attributable to the prior year write off of $5.7 million of unamortized deferred financing costs as debt extinguishment costs upon repayment of the 2016 Credit Agreement (as defined in the MD&A) at the end of Q2 2021.
Income taxes were $9.5 million in Q2 2022 compared to $5.2 million in Q2 2021, an increase of $4.3 million year over year. The increase in income taxes was primarily the result of higher taxable earnings in Q2 2022. The effective income tax rate was 27.3% in Q2 2022 compared to 10.5% in Q2 2021. The Q2 2022 effective tax rate is higher than the blended statutory rate of 26.5% primarily because of non-deductible expenses. The Q2 2021 effective tax rate is lower than the blended statutory rate of 26.5% primarily due to favourable tax treatments of foreign exchange gains related to the repayment of the 2016 Term Loans (as defined in the MD&A).
Net income was $25.3 million, a decrease of $19.0 million from net income of $44.3 million in the second quarter last year. In addition to the factors described above, the change in net income is also explained by a higher gain on foreign exchange of $42.3 million in Q2 2021 from the repayment of the 2016 Term Loans and from the settlement of a foreign exchange forward contract.
Adjusted Net Income increased by $19.4 million to $28.1 million in Q2 2022, compared to $8.7 million in Q2 2021. Adjusted Net Income as a percentage of revenue was 12.3% in Q2 2022 and 4.8% in Q2 2021.
Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share was $0.39 compared to $0.12 in the second quarter last year.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter totaled $39.5 million.
Free Cash Flow(1) amounted to $20.4 million in Q2 2022. This compares to Free Cash Flow of $18.9 million in Q2 2021.
Inventory at end of the second quarter of 2022 was $116.8 million compared to $91.7 million at the end of Fiscal 2021, an increase of $25.1 million primarily due to higher demand, inflation in product cost, a heightened level of safety stock and accelerated purchase of seasonal goods in light of global supply chain challenges, and initial load-ins to support proprietary brand launches at Chico.
(1) This is a Non-IFRS financial measure. Non-IFRS financial measures are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. Refer to "Non-IFRS Measures and Supplementary Financial Measures" and "Selected Consolidated Financial Information" below, including for a reconciliation of the non-IFRS measures used in this release to the most comparable IFRS measures. Also refer to the sections entitled "How We Assess the Performance of our Business", "Non-IFRS Measures and Supplementary Financial Measures" and "Selected Consolidated Financial Information and Industry Metrics" in the MD&A, incorporated by reference herein, for further details concerning Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share and Free Cash Flow including definitions and reconciliations to the relevant reported IFRS measure |
(2) This is a supplementary financial measure. Refer to "Non-IFRS Measures and Supplementary Financial Measures" below and to the section entitled "How We Assess the Performance of our Business" in the MD&A for the definitions of supplementary financial measures. |
(3) On February 25, 2022, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Les Franchises Chico Inc. and 9353-0145 Quebec Inc. (collectively referred to as "Chico"), a franchisor of pet specialty stores in Quebec, Canada. |
On August 8, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend of $0.06 per common share payable on September 15, 2022 to holders of common shares of record as at the close of business on August 31, 2022.
The following information, except for same-store sales growth, includes the impact of Chico, which was acquired on February 25, 2022. Based on strong performance in the first half of the year, and expectations for the balance of the year, the Company now expects to achieve the following for the full year 2022:
- Revenue between $912 and $928 million, supported by same-store sales growth of between 13% and 15%, and 35 to 45 new store openings;
- Adjusted EBITDA between $203 and $207 million, which incorporates a full year of public company costs, as well as incremental investments in labour as well as storage and throughput capacity, disclosed in late 2021;
- Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share between $1.47 and $1.51;
- Information technology expenses of approximately $8 million and share-based compensation of approximately $7 million, both of which are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share; and
- Net Capital Expenditures(4) between $35 and $40 million, including approximately $15 million in advanced payments and leasehold improvements related to the build-out of the new distribution centre in the Greater Toronto Area.
Due to the impact of various forms of government mandated operating restrictions imposed in early 2021, the Company expects year-over-year growth to ease in the second half of 2022, compared to year-over-year growth in the first half of the year. The relative distribution of revenue by quarter is expected to be more representative of pre-pandemic years, such as 2019.
(4) Net Capital Expenditures represents purchase of property and equipment, purchase of intangible assets, proceeds on disposal of property and equipment and tenant allowances. |

Prior to the Offering, the Company was not operating as a stand-alone entity and as a result, the financial information for periods prior to June 30, 2021 are presented on a carve-out basis that includes only legal entities representing the Canadian operations of Pet Valu Holdings Ltd. (referred to as the "Group", prior to the distribution of its U.S. operations to its shareholder). For more information, see the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related MD&A for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively.
This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. They are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS. Pet Valu uses non-IFRS measures, including "EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted Net Income", Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share" and "Free Cash Flow". This press release also makes reference to certain supplementary financial measures that are commonly used in the retail industry, including "System-wide stores", "System-wide sales", "Same-store sales", and "Same-store sales growth". These non-IFRS measures and supplementary financial measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of Pet Valu's operating performance and thus highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures and these supplementary financial measures in the evaluation of issuers. Management uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and to determine components of management compensation. Refer to the MD&A for the second quarter ended July 2, 2022 for further information on non-IFRS measures and industry metrics, including for their definition and, for non-IFRS measures, a reconciliation to the most comparable IFRS measure.
