Pet Valu reported solid top- and bottom-line growth for fiscal 2025, with revenue up 7.1% to $1.18 billion and net income rising 11.9% to $97.8 million, supported by 1.6% same-store sales growth and continued network expansion to 863 locations. Fourth-quarter revenue increased 10.6%, helped by an extra week and higher retail and franchise sales, while adjusted EBITDA grew 4.1% for the year despite margin pressure from pricing investments, and the board lifted the quarterly dividend by 8%, signaling confidence in cash generation.

Management said the retailer is gaining market share despite heightened value-seeking consumer behavior and competitive activity, driven by growth in its proprietary brands and higher units per transaction. Looking to 2026, Pet Valu is guiding to modest revenue growth of 2% to 4%, stable to slightly improved EBITDA margins and mid- to high-single-digit growth in adjusted earnings per share, as it seeks to leverage recent supply chain investments and its 50th‑anniversary positioning to deliver sustained returns to shareholders.
