PetMed Express D/B/A 1-800-PetMeds Announces Its First Quarter Financial Results and Its $0.18 Per Share Quarterly Dividend

PETS

First Quarter Net Income Increased 16% 

First Quarter Reorder Sales Increased 1.8%

POMPANO BEACH, Fla., July 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PetMed Express, Inc. (NASDAQ:PETS) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.  Net income was $5.8 million, or $0.29 diluted per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to net income of $5.0 million, or $0.25 diluted per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, a 16% increase to net income.  Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 were $71.6 million, compared to $72.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of 1.3%.  The Company’s online sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 were approximately 81% of all sales, compared to 80% for the same quarter the prior year. 

Menderes Akdag, CEO and President, commented: “We were able to decrease our operational expenses to improve our bottom line results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2015 our operating expenses decreased by about 260 basis points, which can be attributed to a reduction in advertising spending.  Despite our sales decrease for the quarter we were able to increase our average order size to $82 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to $78 for the same quarter in the prior year.  Reorder sales increased 1.8%, to $59.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to $58.5 million for the same quarter in the prior year.  For the remainder of Fiscal 2016 we are focusing on improving our marketing efforts to increase sales and profitability.”

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.18 per share on the Company’s common stock.  The dividend will be payable on August 14, 2015, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 3, 2015.  The Company intends to continue to pay regular quarterly dividends; however the declaration and payment of future dividends is discretionary and will be subject to a determination by the Board of Directors each quarter following its review of the Company’s financial performance.

This morning at 8:30 A.M. Eastern Time, Mr. Akdag will host a conference call to review the quarter’s financial results.  To access the call, which is open to the public, please dial (888) 455-1758 (toll free) or (203) 827-7025.  Callers will be required to supply PETMEDS as the passcode.  For those unable to participate in the live event, the call will be available for replay from 10:00 A.M. on July 20, 2015 until August 3, 2015 at 11:59 P.M.  To access the replay, call (866) 431-7853 (toll free) or (203) 369-0969, and enter passcode 5500.
