- Revenue was $200.7 million, an increase of 25.6% versus the prior year, in-line with system-wide sales growth.
- Adjusted EBITDA grew 39.4% to $50.7 million, representing 25.2% of revenue, up 250 basis points versus the prior year.

- Adjusted Net Income(1) was $27.7 million or $0.39 per diluted share.
- The Company opened 6 new stores in the quarter and has increased its network by 30 stores over the last 12 months.
- The Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $0.01 per common share.
2021 Outlook
- The Company has raised its 2021 guidance, now expecting revenue of approximately $765 million supported by same-store sales growth slightly above 15%, Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $177 million and Adjusted Net Income of approximately $69 million, or $0.97 per diluted share.
"We are incredibly pleased with the strong performance our business delivered in the third quarter, with every aspect of our operating model contributing to this success," said Richard Maltsbarger, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Pet Valu continued to outpace the robust growth in the pet industry due to the strength of our brand as well as our unique and engaging customer experiences, underscoring our position as Canada's pet authority.
"Given the strong performance in Q3 and momentum in early Q4, we have raised our 2021 guidance. As we move through the balance of the year and into 2022, we are proactively managing current market challenges in supply chain, labour and inflation with purposeful investments that support our long-term growth strategies," continued Mr. Maltsbarger. "We remain in a strong position to continue serving Canada's growing population of pets and devoted pet lovers."
Financial Results for the Third Quarter Fiscal 2021
All comparative figures below are for the 13-week period ended October 2, 2021, compared to the 13-week period ended September 26, 2020.
Revenue increased by 25.6% to $200.7 million, compared to $159.8 million in the third quarter last year. The increase in revenue was driven by growth in retail sales, as well as franchise and other revenues.
Same-store sales growth(1) was 20.3% in Q3 2021 primarily driven by a 12.9% increase in same-store transactions and a 6.6% increase in same-store average spend per transaction. This is compared to same-store sales growth of 12.4% in Q3 2020 which primarily consisted of a (3.4)% decrease in same-store transactions and a 16.3% increase in same-store average spend per transaction.
Gross profit increased by $20.4 million, or 35.2%, to $78.3 million in Q3 2021, compared to $57.9 million in Q3 2020. Gross profit margin was 39.0% in Q3 2021 compared to 36.3% in Q3 2020. The gross profit margin increase of 2.7% was primarily driven by: (i) the favourable impact of the stronger Canadian dollar on products sourced outside Canada and primarily denominated in U.S. dollars; (ii) leverage gained on fixed costs due to higher revenue; (iii) higher discounts in Q3 2020; and (iv) partially offset by the absorption of incremental freight costs due to global supply chain issues, distribution costs driven by e-commerce sales, and incremental wages in our warehouses to support increased demand.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by 27.3% to $39.4 million, compared to $30.9 million in the third quarter last year. SG&A expenses were 19.6% of revenue compared to 19.3% of revenue in the third quarter last year. The increase of $8.4 million in SG&A expenses was primarily due to: (i) increased compensation costs of $4.7 million as a result of the Company operating separately from the Group, headcount investments made to align with certain strategic initiatives and requirements applicable to becoming a public company, and additional bonus expense for key management as a result of the performance of the business and the completion of the initial public offering (the "Offering"); (ii) higher information technology expenses of $1.2 million associated with the implementation of SaaS arrangements.; (iii) higher advertising expenses of $0.9 million; (iv) higher depreciation and amortization of $0.7 million due to leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures for new and existing corporate-owned stores; and (v) fees associated to the secondary offering of $0.4 million with the remainder of the variance being associated to other general expenses and professional fees including public company expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $50.7 million, or 25.2% of revenue, compared to $36.3 million, or 22.7% of revenue, in the third quarter last year.
Net interest expense was $4.5 million in Q3 2021, a decrease of $10.5 million, or 70.1%, compared to $15.0 million in Q3 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by lower interest expense on the 2021 Credit Facilities resulting from lower interest rates and lower total debt outstanding following the closing of the Offering.
Income taxes were $9.8 million in Q3 2021 compared to $3.5 million in Q3 2020, an increase of $6.3 million year over year. The increase in income taxes was primarily the result of higher taxable earnings in Q3 2021. The effective income tax rate was unchanged at 28.6% in Q3 2021 and Q3 2020. The effective tax rates are higher than the blended statutory rate of 26.5% primarily because of non-deductible expenses.
Net income was $24.3 million, an increase of $15.7 million from net income of $8.7 million in the third quarter last year. The change in net income is explained from the factors described above.
Adjusted Net Income(1) increased by $17.8 million to $27.7 million in Q3 2021, compared to $9.9 million in Q3 2020. Adjusted Net Income as a percentage of revenue was 13.8% in Q3 2021 and 6.2% in Q3 2020.
Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share(1) was $0.39 compared to $0.18 in the third quarter last year.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter totaled $23.3 million.
Free Cash Flow(1) amounted to $46.8 million in Q3 2021.
Inventory at end of the third quarter of 2021 was $88.1 million.

Dividends
The Board of Directors has declared an initial quarterly dividend of $0.01 per common share, payable on December 15, 2021 to holders of common shares of record as at the close of business on November 30, 2021.
2021 Outlook
The Company has raised its 2021 guidance, driven by strong performance in the third quarter and momentum early in the fourth quarter. Pet Valu now expects to achieve the following for the full year 2021:
- Revenue of approximately $765 million, supported by same-store sales growth slightly above 15% and 28-30 new store openings;
- Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $177 million, which incorporates previously disclosed public company costs as well as incremental labour investments commencing in Q4;
- Adjusted Net Income of approximately $69 million or $0.97 per diluted share; and
- Net Capital Expenditures(2) of approximately $20 million.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, Pet Valu's performance has been significantly impacted by shifts in consumption patterns, various iterations of pandemic-related operating restrictions, and industry-wide supply chain disruptions. While restrictions have eased in recent months, a heightened level of uncertainty remains regarding potential for future disruption in the second half of 2021. The above outlook is based on several assumptions, including, but not limited to, the continued gradual normalization in the industry and operating environment through the remainder of 2021.

Net Capital Expenditures represents purchase of property and equipment, purchase of intangible assets, proceeds on disposal of property and equipment and tenant allowances. |

Basis of Presentation - Carve-out Financial Information
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 interim consolidated financial statements and related MD&A for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020.
Non-IFRS Measures and Industry Metrics
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 operating metrics that are commonly used in the retail industry, including "System-wide stores", "System-wide sales", "Same-store sales", "Same-store sales growth". These non-IFRS measures and retail industry operating metrics 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 retail industry metrics 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 third quarter ended October 2, 2021 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.

Forward-looking information is provided as of the date of this press release and is based on management's opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that management believes appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances. Pet Valu does not undertake to update any such forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable securities laws in Canada. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking information as a result of various factors.

Represents share-based compensation in respect of our legacy option plan, long-term incentive plan, and deferred share unit plan. Share-based compensation for YTD 2021 also includes expense in relation to retention bonuses of $1.2 million which were paid through the issuance of common shares in lieu of cash. This amount was previously recorded as bonus expense and included in SG&A in Fiscal 2020. |
(8) |
Non-cash impairment charge taken against certain right-of-use assets for corporate-owned stores. |
(9) |
Represents foreign exchange gains and losses. |
(10) |
Represents pro forma costs to normalize for on-going expenses previously allocated to entities forming part of the Group, specifically operations in the United States, which are no longer affiliated with the Company, for Fiscal 2020. These costs represent compensation costs associated with supply chain, merchandising, distribution and other corporate functions, as well as information technology costs. Approximately 18% of the pro forma costs relate to cost of sales and 82% to SG&A. Beginning in Q1 2021, our on-going expenses are reported directly in cost of sales and SG&A, as those costs are now directly incurred by the Company. |
(11) |
Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share for Q3 2020 and YTD 2020 are calculated on a pro-forma basis using the weighted average common shares outstanding based on the capital reorganization and the legacy option plan immediately prior to the Offering. |
