PetIQ reports Q4 adjusted EPS (12c), consensus (29c)

Reports Q4 revenue $219.9M, consensus $189.05M. The company said, “2023 was a record year for PetIQ. I am very proud of our team’s execution to grow our business, enabling us to significantly exceed the top and bottom line guidance that we provided at the beginning of the year. These results also fueled cash generation above our expectations, and we improved the Company’s net leverage to a record low. We made significant strategic investments in marketing during the year to support the growth and development of PetIQ’s portfolio of pet health and wellness brands as evidenced by our higher rate of consumption and market share gains. We will use the cost savings from our Services segment optimization to reinvest in our future growth, funding approximately half of the planned incremental marketing initiatives in 2024. Our mission to help pet parents have access to affordable and convenient pet health and wellness continues to gain momentum and we’re excited about our opportunities to fuel growth and enhance shareholder value for many years to come.”
