Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1 – Principal Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies

Principal Business Activity and Principles of Consolidation

PetIQ is a leading, rapidly growing pet health and wellness company. Through points of distribution across retail and e-commerce channels, PetIQ has a mission to make pet lives better by educating pet parents on the importance of offering regular, convenient access and affordable choices for pet preventative and wellness veterinary products and services. PetIQ believes that pets are an important part of the family and deserve the best products and care we can give them.

We are the managing member of PetIQ Holdings, LLC (“Holdco”), a Delaware limited liability company, which is the sole member of PetIQ, LLC (“Opco”) and, through Holdco, operate and control all the business and affairs of Opco.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019 and December 31,2018 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 and related notes thereto included in most recent annual report and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K on March 12, 2019. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets; the valuation of property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, the valuation of assets and liabilities in connection with acquisitions, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the valuation of inventories, and reserves for legal contingencies.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are at cost, which approximates fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The guarantee

10

notes are carried at cost, which approximates fair value as the stated interest rate is consistent with current market rates. Our term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable interest rate plus an applicable margin and, therefore, carrying amounts approximate fair value.

The following table presents liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

$'s in 000's		June 30, 2019	December 31, 2018
Liabilities:
2019 Contingent note	$	3,460	$	2,680

In connection with the acquisition of Community Veterinary Clinics, LLC d/b/a VIP Petcare (“VIP” and such acquisition, the “VIP Acquisition”) a portion of the purchase price was structured in the form of Contingent Notes (the “Contingent Notes”) that vest based on the combined Company EBITDA targets for the years ending December 31, 2018 and 2019 (“Measurement Dates”). See Note 2 – “Business Combinations” for more information regarding the VIP Acquisition. The Company is required to reassess the fair value of the Contingent Notes at each reporting period. As of December 31, 2018, $7.5 million was payable pursuant to the 2018 Contingent Note, subject to the same payment terms described below. As such, the portion of the liability as it relates to the 2018 Contingent Note became fixed as of December 31, 2018.

For the 2019 Contingent Note, a Monte Carlo simulation method was utilized in estimating the fair value (Level 3) of the Contingent Note. The simulation model is a numerical algorithm that generates thousands of scenarios for the future EBITDA in order to assess the probability of achieving the EBITDA hurdles. The valuation model simulates the last twelve months EBITDA from the Valuation Date to the end of each Measurement Date in one 'jump'. The Contingent Notes were valued within a risk-neutral option pricing framework with the real growth rate adjusted for the market price of EBITDA risk. The Company used the WACC less risk-free rate as a proxy for the EBITDA risk premium.

Although the Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, different assumptions, including those regarding the operating results of the Company, or changes in the future may result in different estimated amounts.

The contingent consideration is included in long-term debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company will satisfy this obligation with a cash payment to the sellers due in July 2023 upon the achievement of the respective milestones discussed above. The Contingent Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.75%, beginning upon the achievement of the respective milestones discussed above.

11

The following table summarizes the Level 3 activity related to the Contingent Notes:

	Six months ended
$'s in 000's	June 30, 2019		June 30, 2018
Balance at beginning of the period	$	2,680	$	—
Fair value of contingent consideration at VIP Acquisition date		—		6,900
Change in fair value of contingent consideration		780		600
Balance at the end of the period	$	3,460	$	7,500

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition. All credit card, debit card and electronic transfer transactions that process in less than seven days are classified as cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash accounts in various deposit accounts, the balances of which at times exceeded federal deposit insurance limits during the periods presented.

Receivables and Credit Policy

Trade receivables due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms generally requiring payment within 45 days from the invoice date. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer, net of discounts and estimated deductions. The Company does not have a policy for charging interest on overdue customer account balances. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer's remittance advice.

Other receivables consists of various receivables due from vendors, banking partners, and notes receivable from suppliers. Non-current portions of these other receivables are included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts receivable consists of the following as of:

$'s in 000's	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Trade receivables	$	79,283	$	43,531
Other receivables		6,237		1,764
		85,520		45,295
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts		(378)		(216)
Non-current portion of receivables		(13)		(72)
Total accounts receivable, net	$	85,129	$	45,007

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which approximate the first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method and includes estimated rebate amounts. The Company maintains reserves for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventory based on the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated net realizable value. In estimating the reserves, management considers factors such as excess or slow-moving inventories, product expiration dating, and

12

market conditions. Changes in these conditions may result in additional reserves. Major components of inventories consist of the following as of:

$'s in 000's	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Raw materials	$	6,580	$	6,106
Work in progress		89		94
Finished goods		91,764		85,942
Total inventories	$	98,433	$	92,142

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets, except for leasehold improvements and finance leased assets which are depreciated over the shorter of the expected useful life or the lease term. Depreciation and amortization expense is recorded in cost of sales and general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, depending on the use of the asset. The estimated useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are as follows:

Computer equipment and software	3 years
Vehicle and vehicle accessories	3-5 years
Buildings	33 years
Equipment	2-15 years
Leasehold improvements	3-15 years
Furniture and fixtures	5-10 years

Revenue Recognition

When Performance Obligations Are Satisfied

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue recognition. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligations are product sales and the delivery of veterinary services.

Revenue is generally recognized for product sales on a point in time basis when product control is transferred to the customer. In general, control transfers to the customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable shipping terms, as the customer can direct the use and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset at this point in time.  

The Company determined that certain products manufactured to a customer’s specifications do not have an alternative future use at a reasonable profit margin due to costs associated with reworking, transporting and repackaging these products. These products are produced subject to purchase orders that include an enforceable right to payment.  Therefore the Company determined that revenue on these products would be recognized over time, as the products are produced. This represents a minor subset of the products the Company manufactures.

Revenue is recognized for services over time when the service is delivered. 

Customer contracts generally do not include more than one performance obligation. When a contract does contain more than one performance obligation, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price for each distinct good is generally determined by directly observable data.  

13

The performance obligations in our contracts are satisfied within one year. As such, we have not disclosed the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations as of June 30, 2019.

Significant Payment Terms

Our customer contracts identify the product, quantity, price, payment and final delivery terms. Payment terms usually include early pay discounts. We grant payment terms consistent with industry standards. Although some payment terms may be more extended, no terms beyond one year are granted at contract inception. As a result, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component because the period between our transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and the customer’s payment for that good or service will be one year or less.

Shipping

All shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in the cost of sales. This includes shipping and handling costs after control over a product has transferred to a customer.

Variable Consideration

In addition to fixed contract consideration, most contracts include some form of variable consideration. The most common forms of variable consideration include discounts, rebates, and sales returns and allowances. Variable consideration is treated as a reduction in revenue when product revenue is recognized. Depending on the specific type of variable consideration, we use either the expected value or most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration. We believe there will not be significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration when any related uncertainties are resolved with our customers. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and any recent changes in the market. Any uncertainties in the ultimate resolution of variable consideration due to factors outside of the Company’s influence are typically resolved within a short timeframe therefore not requiring any additional constraint on the variable consideration.  

Trade marketing expense, consisting primarily of customer pricing allowances and merchandising funds are offered through various programs to customers and are designed to promote our products. They include the cost of in-store product displays, feature pricing in retailers' advertisements and other temporary price reductions. These programs are offered to our customers both in fixed and variable (rate per case) amounts. The ultimate cost of these programs depends on retailer performance and is subject to management estimates.

Certain retailers require the payment of product introductory fees in order to obtain space for the Company's products on the retailer's store shelves. This cost is typically a lump sum and is determined using the expected value based on the contract between the two parties.

Both trade marketing expense and product introductory fees are recognized as reductions of revenue at the time the transfer of control of the associated products occurs. Accruals for expected payouts, or amounts paid in advance, under these programs are included as other current assets or accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Warranties & Returns

PetIQ provides all customers with a standard or assurance type warranty. Either stated or implied, the Company provides assurance the related products will comply with all agreed-upon specifications and other warranties provided under the law. No significant services beyond an assurance warranty are provided to customers. 

The Company does not grant a general right of return. However, customers may return defective or non-conforming products. Customer remedies may include either a cash refund or an exchange of the product. As a result, the right of

14

return and related refund liability is estimated and recorded as a reduction in revenue. This return estimate is reviewed and updated each period and is based on historical sales and return experience. 

Contract balances

Contract asset and liability balances as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are immaterial. The Company does not have significant deferred revenue or unbilled receivable balances.

Cost of Services

Cost of Services are comprised of all service and product costs related to the delivery of veterinary services, including but not limited to, salaries of veterinarians, technicians and other clinic based personnel, transportation and delivery costs, rent, occupancy costs, supply costs, depreciation and amortization of clinic assets, certain marketing and promotional expenses and costs of goods sold.

Research and Development and Advertising Costs

Research and development and advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses. Research and development costs amounted to $70 thousand and $48 thousand for three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $167 thousand and $97 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Advertising costs were $1,022 thousand and $1,418 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $1,677 thousand and $2,013 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Advertising costs do not include trade marketing programs which are part of net sales.

Income taxes

The Company records a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. The Company may record a valuation allowance, if conditions are applicable, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

Non-controlling interest

The non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated statements of income represents the portion of earnings or loss attributable to the economic interest in the Company’s subsidiary, Holdco, held by the non-controlling holders of Class B common stock and limited liability company interests in Holdco. Non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheet represents the portion of net assets of the Company attributable to the non-controlling holders of Class B common stock and limited liability company interests in Holdco, based on the portion of the LLC Interests owned by holders of Class B common stock and limited liability company interests in Holdco. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 the non-controlling interest was approximately 19.4% and 23.2%, respectively.

Litigation

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims, litigation, investigations and contingencies arising out of the ordinary course of business. If the likelihood of an adverse legal outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of loss is estimable, then a liability is accrued in accordance with accounting guidance for Contingencies. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed. The Company consults with both internal and external legal counsel related to litigation.

15

Adopted Accounting Standard Updates

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases.  The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective optional transition method. Therefore, the standard was applied beginning January 1, 2019 and prior periods were not restated. The adoption of the standard did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. The Company elected the package of practical expedients and implemented internal controls and system functionality to enable the preparation of financial information upon adoption.  In addition, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components for all of the Company's leases.

The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of a right of use asset and short-term and long-term liabilities recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet related to operating leases. Accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. In addition, the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or cash flows.

The equity consideration consisted 400 thousand LLC interests of Holdco and 400 thousand shares of Class B common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company.

The estimate of fair value and purchase price allocation were based on information available at the time of closing the HBH Acquisition and the Company continues to evaluate the underlying inputs and assumptions. The Company is in process of finalizing certain liabilities included in working capital. Accordingly, these liability preliminary estimates are subject to adjustments during the measurement period, not to exceed one year, based upon new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the date of closing the HBH Acquisition. The purchase price allocation has been allocated as follows: 

$'s in 000's		Preliminary Estimated Fair Value

Note 5 – Debt

A&R Credit Agreement

In connection with the VIP Acquisition, the Company amended and restated its existing revolving credit agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”) on January 17, 2018, which was subsequently amended in August 2018. The A&R Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility of $75 million in the aggregate, at either LIBOR or Base (prime) interest rates plus an applicable margin. The A&R Credit Agreement matures on January 17, 2023 and contains a lockbox mechanism.

All obligations under the A&R Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdco and each of its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries and, subject to certain exceptions, each of its material current and future domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries. All obligations under the A&R Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of each borrower and guarantor under the A&R Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

Also in connection with the closing of the VIP Acquisition, the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for a secured term loan credit facility of $75 million in aggregate at either LIBOR or Base (prime) interest rates plus an applicable margin. The Term Loan Credit Agreement requires quarterly principal payments, with the full balance due on January 17, 2023.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $5.1 million outstanding under the A&R Credit Agreement and $74.3 million under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The interest rate on the A&R Credit Agreement was 5.5% as a Base Rate loan, the interest rate on the Term Loan Credit Agreement was 7.7% as a LIBOR rate loan. Additionally the Company pays between 0.375% and 0.50% as an unused facility fee, depending on the amount borrowed. 

The A&R Credit Agreement and Term Loan Credit Agreement contain certain covenants and restrictions including a fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum EBITDA target and is secured by collateral consisting of a percentage of eligible accounts receivable, inventories, and machinery and equipment. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Other Debt

The Company entered into a mortgage with a local bank to finance $1.9 million of the purchase price of a commercial building in Eagle, Idaho, in July 2017. The mortgage bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.35% and utilizes a 25 year amortization schedule with a 10 year balloon payment of the balance due at that time. 

In connection with the VIP Acquisition, the Company entered into a guarantee note which requires the Company to pay $10.0 million to the sellers on July 17, 2023. The note bears interest at a fixed 6.75% and requires quarterly interest payments. As of December 31, 2018, $7.5 million was payable pursuant to the 2018 Contingent Note and up to $10 million may be payable pursuant to the 2019 Contingent Note, collectively, “Notes Payable – VIP Acquisition” of $17.5

19

million.  See “Note – 2 Business Combinations”. The $7.5 million note requires quarterly interest payments of 6.75% with the balance payable July 17, 2023. The following represents the Company’s long-term debt as of:

$'s in 000's	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Term loans	$	74,250	$	74,625
Revolving credit facility		5,137		13,452

Less current maturities of long-term debt		(797)		(796)
Total long-term debt	$	99,723	$	107,418

Future maturities of long-term debt, excluding the Contingent note and net discount on debt and deferred financing fees and the contingent note, as of June 30, 2019, are as follows:

($'s in 000's)
Remainder of 2019	$	398
2020		798
2021		800
2022		802
2023		94,317
Thereafter		1,608

The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $0.1 million related to the A&R Credit Agreement and zero related to the Term Loan during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Note 6 – Leases

The Company leases certain real estate for commercial, production, and retail purposes, as well as equipment from third parties. Lease expiration dates are between 2019 and 2025. A portion of leases are denominated in foreign currencies. 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires most leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method and used the effective date as our date of initial adoption. Prior year financial statements were not restated under the new standard and, therefore, those amounts are not presented below. For both operating and finance leases, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset, which represents the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability, which represents the present value of our obligation to make payments arising over the lease term.

We elected the short-term lease exemption for all leases that qualify. This means leases having an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

The Company's leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Renewal options generally range from one to ten years and the options to extend are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Some leases have variable payments, however, because they are not based on an index or rate, they are not included in the ROU assets and liabilities. Variable payments for real estate leases primarily relate to common area maintenance, insurance, taxes and utilities. Variable payments for equipment, vehicles, and leases within supply agreements primarily relate to usage, repairs, and maintenance. As the implicit rate is not readily determinable for most of the Company's leases, the Company applies a portfolio approach using an estimated incremental borrowing rate, giving consideration to company specific information and publicly available interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, to determine the initial present value of lease payments over the lease terms.

Note 7 – Income Tax

As a result of the IPO and related reorganization transactions completed in July 2017, the Company held a majority of the economic interest in Holdco and consolidates the financial position and results of Holdco. The remaining ownership of Holdco not held by the Company is considered a non-controlling interest. Holdco is treated as a partnership for income tax reporting. Holdco’s members, including the Company, are liable for federal, state, and local income taxes based on their share of Holdco’s taxable income. 

Our effective tax rate (ETR) from continuing operations was 13.0% and 14.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively and 16.0% and (3.3)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was different than the U.S federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of the non-controlling interest income that is not taxable.

HoldCo makes cash distributions to members to pay taxes attributable to their allocable share of income earned.  In the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company made cash distributions of $1 thousand and $1.4 million, respectively. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company made cash distributions of $32 thousand and $0.6 million, respectively. Additionally, HoldCo accrues for distributions required to be made related to estimated income taxes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company accrued $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company accrued $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

Note 8 – Earnings per Share

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income available to PetIQ, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income available to PetIQ, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.

The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock:

	Three months ended				Six months ended
(in 000's, except for per share amounts)	June 30, 2019		June 30, 2018		June 30, 2019		June 30, 2018

Earnings per share of Class A common stock — diluted	$	0.17	$	0.16	$	0.24	$	0.03

Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, all shares of the Company’s Class B common stock have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as they have been determined to be anti-dilutive under the if-converted method, respectively.

Additionally, 1,180 thousand and 1,550 thousand stock options and restricted stock units have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, as they have been determined to be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, 1,039 thousand stock options and restricted stock units have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as they have been determined to be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

Note 9 – Stock Based Compensation

PetIQ, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan

The PetIQ, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of various equity-based incentive awards to directors of the Company, employees, and consultants. The types of equity-based awards that may be granted under the Plan include: stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), and other stock-based awards. The Company initially reserved 1,914 thousand registered shares of Class A common stock for issuance under the Plan, and subsequently authorized an additional 2,000 thousand at the 2019 annual meeting for a total of 3,914 thousand authorized shares. As of June 30, 2019, 1,889 thousand shares were available for issuance under the Plan. All awards issued under the Plan may only be settled in shares of Class A common stock.

24

PetIQ, Inc. 2018 Inducement and Retention Stock Plan for CVC Employees

The PetIQ, Inc. 2018 Inducement and Retention Stock Plan for CVC Employees (the “Inducement Plan”) provides for the grant of stock options to employees hired in connection with the VIP Acquisition as employment inducement awards pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The Inducement Plan reserved 800 thousand shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company. As of June 30, 2019, no shares were available for issuance under the Inducement Plan. All awards issued under the Plan may only be settled in shares of Class A common stock.

Stock Options

The Company awards stock options to certain employees and directors under the Plan and the Inducement Plan, which are subject to time-based vesting conditions, typically 25% on each anniversary of the grant date until fully vested.  Upon a termination of service relationship by the Company, all unvested options will be forfeited and the shares of common stock underlying such awards will become available for issuance under the Plan. The maximum contractual term for stock options is 10 years.

The fair value of these equity awards is amortized to equity based compensation expense over the vesting period, which totaled $1.3 million and $2.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively and $0.7 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. All stock based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses based on the role of recipients. The fair value of the stock option awards were determined on the grant dates using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on the following weighted-average assumptions for the periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	June 30, 2019			June 30, 2018
Expected term (years) (1)		6.25			6.25
Expected volatility (2)		35.00	%		35.00	%
Risk-free interest rate (3)		2.74	%		2.53	%
Dividend yield (4)		0.00	%		0.00	%

⁽¹⁾ The Company utilized the simplified method to determine the expected term of the stock options since we do not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.

⁽²⁾ The expected volatility assumption was calculated based on a peer group analysis of stock price volatility with a look back period consistent with the expected option term.

⁽³⁾ The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant, which corresponds to the expected term of the stock options.

⁽⁴⁾ The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying a cash dividend on our common stock.

The following table summarizes the activity of the Company’s unvested stock options for the period ended June 30,

2019.

							Weighted

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the period ended June 30, 2019 was $10.82 per option. At June 30, 2019, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $16.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.0 years. 

Restricted Stock Units

The Company awards RSUs to certain employees and directors under the Plan, which are subject to time-based vesting conditions. Upon a termination of service relationship by the Company, all unvested RSUs will be forfeited and the shares of common stock underlying such awards will become available for issuance under the Plan. The fair value of RSUs are measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. At June 30, 2019, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs was $4.0 million and is expected to vest over a weighted average 3.5 years.

The fair value of these equity awards is amortized to equity based compensation expense over the vesting period, which totaled $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and $0.02 million and $0.02 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. All stock based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses based on the role of recipients. 

The following table summarizes the activity of the Company’s RSUs for the period ended June 30, 2019.

(collectively “Plaintiffs”) filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against PetIQ and VIP Petcare Holdings, Inc. for alleged unlawful merger and other antitrust violations.On April 22, 2019, the Court granted the Company’s Motion to Dismiss without further leave to amend, concluding that Plaintiffs were not able to identify any factual allegations to support their alleged claims.  Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on May 21, 2019. Appeal briefing will occur during late 2019 and early 2020.  

The Company records a liability when a particular contingency is probable and estimable and provides disclosure for contingencies that are at least reasonably possible of resulting in a loss including an estimate which we currently cannot make. The Company has not accrued for any contingency at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 as the Company does not consider any contingency to be probable or estimable. The Company expenses legal costs as incurred within general and administrative expenses on the consolidated condensed statements of operations.

Note 16 – Subsequent events

On July 8, 2019, PetIQ (“the Buyer”) completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of Sergeant’s Pet Care Products, Inc. (the “Acquisition”), including any assets related to the business, from L. Perrigo Company (“Seller”), resulting in the business becoming an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition”). The purchase price for the Acquisition is $185 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments for net working capital, closing indebtedness and transaction expenses. The Company expects the acquisition to be integrated into its Products segment by the end of Q3 2019. 

Buyer and its domestic subsidiaries amended their existing revolving credit agreement on July 8, 2019 (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to increase the size of the revolving facility to $110 million with an accordion feature allowing an additional increase up to $125 million and extend the maturity date of the revolving facility to July 8, 2024. In addition, the Credit Agreement Amendment reduces the interest rate on Eurodollar rate loans and modifies certain financial covenants, including eliminating the maximum first lien net coverage ratio.

On July 8, 2019 Buyer and its domestic subsidiaries entered into an amended and restated term loan credit agreement on July 8, 2019 (the “A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with a secured term loan facility of $220 million maturing on July 8, 2025, the proceeds of which were used to refinance the existing term loan facility and consummate the Acquisition.

All obligations under the A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by PetIQ Holdings, LLC and each of its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries and, subject to certain exceptions, each of its material current and future domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries. All obligations under the A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of Buyer and each guarantor under the A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

The A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict our and our subsidiaries’ ability to (subject to certain exceptions): (i) make investments, loans or advances; (ii) incur additional indebtedness; (iii) create liens on assets; (iv) engage in mergers or consolidations and/or sell assets; (v) pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our equity interests; (vi) repay subordinated indebtedness; (vii) make certain acquisitions; and (viii) other restrictions typical for a credit agreement of this type.

The A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default (including change of control). In addition, the A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement includes a maintenance covenant that requires compliance with a maximum first lien net leverage ratio. The availability of certain baskets and the ability to enter into certain transactions (including our ability to pay dividends) may also be subject to compliance with secured leverage ratios.

We have two reporting segments: (i) Products; and (ii) Services. This is based on the level at which the chief operating decision maker reviews the results of operations to make decisions regarding performance assessment and resource allocation. 

Results of Operations

Components of our Results of Operations

Net Sales

Our product net sales consist of our total sales net of product returns, allowances (discounts), trade promotions and incentives. We offer a variety of trade promotions and incentives to our customers, such as cooperative advertising programs and in‑store displays. We recognize revenue upon satisfaction of the performance obligation in accordance with the terms of our contracts. Trade promotions are used to increase our aggregate net sales. Our net sales are periodically influenced by the timing, extent and amount of such trade promotions and incentives.

Key factors that may affect our future sales growth include: new product introductions; expansion into e-commerce and other customer bases; expansion of items sold to existing customers, addition of new retail customers and to maintain pricing levels necessary for profitability; aggressive pricing by our competitors; and whether we can maintain and develop positive relationships with key retail customers.

Our products are primarily consumables and, as such, they experience a replenishment cycle.

Our service revenue consists of providing veterinary services for consumers and selling products to the consumer in conjunction with those services.  The customer renders payment at the time the service is rendered.

While many of our products are sold consistently throughout the year, we experience seasonality in the form of increased retailer demand for our flea and tick product offerings in the first two quarters of the year in preparation for increased

31

consumer demand during the summer months. Additionally our veterinary services experience seasonality as consumers typically seek more services in the warmer months. 

Gross Profit

Gross profit is our net product sales plus service revenue less cost of product sales and services. Our cost of product sales consists primarily of costs of raw goods, finished goods packaging materials, manufacturing, shipping and handling costs and costs associated with our warehouses and distribution network. Cost of services are comprised of all service and product costs related to providing veterinary services, including but not limited to, salaries of veterinarians, technicians and other clinic based personnel, transportation and delivery costs, facilities rent, occupancy costs, supply costs, depreciation and amortization of clinic assets, certain marketing and promotional expenses and costs of goods sold.

Gross margin measures our gross profit as a percentage of net sales. With respect to our proprietary products, we have a manufacturing network that includes leased manufacturing facilities where we manufacture finished goods, as well as third-party contract manufacturing facilities from which we purchase finished products predominately on a dollar-per-unit basis. The gross margin on our proprietary value-branded products is higher than on our distributed products. For distributed products, our costs are driven largely by whether we source the product direct from the manufacturer or a licensed distributor. Gross profit in the services segment is driven by the number of pets that seek services in the individual clinics due to the relatively fixed cost nature of providing the clinic.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of employee compensation and benefits expenses, sales and merchandizing expenses, advertising and marketing expenses, rent and lease expenses, IT and utilities expenses, professional fees, insurance costs, R&D costs, host fees, banking charges, and consulting fees.  In the future, we expect our general and administrative expenses to grow at a slower rate than our net sales growth as we leverage our past investments.

Our advertising and marketing expenses primarily consist of digital marketing (e.g. search engine optimization, pay-per-click, content marketing, etc.), social media, in-store merchandising and trade shows in an effort to promote our brands and build awareness. These expenses may vary from quarter to quarter but typically they are higher in the second and third quarters. We expect our marketing and advertising expenses to decrease as a percentage of net sales as we continue to concentrate campaigns to relevant markets, as well as shift spending towards in-store marketing and customer trade-supported programs.

Net Income

Our net income for future periods will be affected by the various factors described above as well as the impact on our tax rate from our fluctuating ownership of Holdco.

Three Months Ended June 30,  2019 Compared With Three Months Ended June 30,  2018

Net sales

Product sales increased $45.9 million or 31%, to $194.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $148.7 million for the three months ended June 30,  2018. This increase was driven by expanding item count at existing customers of existing items, as well as customer program expansion.   

Service revenue was $26.0 million in the three months ended June 30,  2019 and $22.4 million in the three months ended June 30,  2018. The Services growth in services is driven by opening of new wellness centers and increasing pet counts within existing community clinics.

33

Gross profit

Gross profit increased by $8.6 million, or 33%, to $34.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $26.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase is due to the significant sales growth, the operational improvements made in the services segment by rationalizing unproductive clinics, economies of scale realized in the product segment, offset by product sales mix.

Gross margin increased to 15.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from 15.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $7.5 million or 44% to $24.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $16.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased from 9.9% in the second three months of 2018 to 11.1% for the second three months of 2019, primarily driven by costs related to the acquisition of Sergeants and overall expansion of corporate services. The increase in total expense reflects:

· Increased stock based compensation expense on additional grants supporting company growth of approximately $0.8 million;

· Increased compensation and benefits to support overall company growth, the addition of the HBH subsidiary, leadership transition costs including severance and signing bonuses, and the adoption of harmonized benefits across the entire organization;

· Increased professional service costs including legal and accounting to support the growth of the business; and

· Increased acquisition expenses related to the Sergeants Acquisition.

Pre-tax net income

As a result of the factors above, pre-tax net income increased $0.4 million to $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to pre-tax net income of $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Provision for income taxes

Our effective tax rate was 13.0% and 16.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, with tax expense of $0.9 million and $1.0 million.  The Company’s tax rate is impacted by the ownership structure, which changes over time.

Six Months Ended June 30,  2019 Compared With Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Net sales

Product sales increased $74.1 million or 30%, to $320.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $246.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was driven by expanding item count at existing customers of existing items, as well as customer program expansion.   

Service revenue was $48.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $39.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018. The growth was led by the opening of multiple wellness centers through 2018, as well as several openings in 2019. Additionally the Company has seen rising pet counts within existing community clinics.

34

Gross profit

Gross profit increased by $17.4 million, or 41%, to $59.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $42.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase is due to the significant sales growth, the operational improvements made in the services segment by rationalizing unproductive clinics, economies of scale within the product segment, offset by product sales mix.

Gross margin decreased to 16.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from 14.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. 

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $9.1 million or 25% to $45.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $35.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in total expense reflects:

· Increased stock based compensation expense on additional grants supporting company growth of approximately $1.7 million;

· Increased compensation and benefits to support overall company growth, leadership transition costs including severance and signing bonuses, the addition of the HBH subsidiary, and the adoption of harmonized benefits across the entire organization;

· Increased professional service costs including legal and accounting to support the growth of the business; and

· Higher costs related to higher sales such as host fees, merchant fees and other selling costs.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net increased $0.2 million to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was driven by increasing rates on variable rate debt, offset by additional interest income from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents related to the public offering that was completed in October of 2018.

Pre-tax net income

As a result of the factors above, pre-tax net income increased $8.2 million to $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Provision for income taxes

Our effective tax rate was 14.3% and (3.4)% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, with tax expense of $1.4 million and a tax benefit of $0.05 million.  The Company’s tax rate is impacted by the ownership structure, which changes over time. 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA represents net income before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus acquisition costs, stock based compensation expense, purchase accounting inventory adjustment, fair value adjustment to contingent consideration, new clinic launch expenses, integration and costs of discontinued clinics, and operations of non same-store operations as defined below. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts for transactions that management does not believe are representative of our core ongoing business. Adjusted EBITDA is utilized by management: (i) as a factor in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation and (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies.

35

The Company presents EBITDA because it is a necessary component for computing Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. In addition, you should be aware when evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA that in the future we may incur expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these or other unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies do not calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.

Our management does not, and you should not, consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements. Some of these limitations are:

· EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

· EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

· EBITDA does not reflect the interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;

· although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

· Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing core operations; and

· Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. You should review the reconciliations of net (loss) income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA below and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

The following table reconciles net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented.

⁽¹⁾ Acquisition costs relating to various acquisitions, both completed and contemplated.

⁽²⁾ Non same-store revenue and costs are from wellness centers, host partners, and regions with less than six full trailing quarters of operating results. There were 32 wellness centers, 7 regions, and one new host partner that had less than six trailing quarters of operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 23 wellness centers and 5 regions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

⁽³⁾ Integration costs and costs of discontinued clinics represent costs related to integrating the acquired businesses, such as personnel costs like severance and signing bonuses, consulting work, brand realignment and SKU rationalization, and IT conversion costs, in addition to costs associated with vet services clinics that were discontinued subsequent to the acquisition of VIP.

⁽⁴⁾ Clinic launch expenses represent the nonrecurring costs to open new veterinary wellness centers, primarily employee costs, training, marketing, and rent prior to opening for business.

⁽⁵⁾ Non-recurring royalty settlement represents a settlement paid to a supplier related to a royalty agreement in place since 2013.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, borrowings, and equity contributions. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents were $36.6 million and $66.4 million, respectively. As of June 30,  2019, we had $5.1 million outstanding under a revolving credit facility, $74.3 million under a term loan, $17.5 million due under Notes Payable – VIP Acquisition, and $1.8 million outstanding under a mortgage. Up to an additional $10 million may be payable pursuant to the 2019 Contingent Note. The debt agreements bear interest at rates between 4.35% and 7.75%.

Our primary cash needs are for working capital. Our maintenance capital expenditures have typically been less than 1.0% of net sales, but we may make additional capital expenditures as necessary to support our growth, such as the investment in additional veterinary clinics. Our primary working capital requirements are to carry inventory and receivable levels necessary to support our increasing net sales. Fluctuations in working capital are primarily driven by the timing of new product launches and seasonal retailer demand. As of June 30,  2019 and December 31,  2018, we had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $148.0 million and $143.5 million, respectively.

37

We believe that our operating cash flow, cash on hand, and debt proceeds from our borrowings under our credit facility will be adequate to meet our operating, investing, and financing needs for the foreseeable future. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that they will be obtained through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of funds, although we can provide no assurance that these sources of funding will be available on reasonable terms.

Cash Flows

Cash used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to cash used in operating activities of $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The change in operating cash flows primarily reflects higher earnings, offset by higher non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization and increases in working capital. Working capital uses are driven by increased accounts receivable resulting from our growing net sales and higher inventory to support growing net sales. Net changes in assets and liabilities accounted for $37.9 million in cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $17.6 million of cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Cash used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $96.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities is a result of the VIP Acquisition that occurred in the prior year period.

Cash (used in) provided by Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $79.4 million in net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The change in cash provided by financing activities to cash used by financing activities is primarily driven by the Company’s new debt taken out to finance the VIP Acquisition in the prior year period.

Description of Indebtedness

A&R Credit Agreement

In connection with the VIP Acquisition, the Company amended and restated its existing revolving credit agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”) on January 17, 2018, which was subsequently amended in August 2018. The A&R Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility of $75 million in the aggregate, at either LIBOR or Base (prime) interest rates plus an applicable margin. The A&R Credit Agreement matures on January 17, 2023 and contains a lockbox mechanism.

All obligations under the A&R Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdco and each of its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries and, subject to certain exceptions, each of its material current and future domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries. All obligations under the A&R Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of each borrower and guarantor under the A&R Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

Also in connection with the closing of the VIP Acquisition, the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan provides for a secured term loan credit facility of $75 million in aggregate at either LIBOR or Base (prime) interest rates plus an applicable margin. The Term Loan Credit Agreement requires quarterly principal payments, with the full balance due on January 17, 2023.

As of June 30,  2019, the Company had $5.1 million outstanding under the A&R Credit Agreement and $74.3 million under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The interest rate on the A&R Credit Agreement was 5.5% as a Base Rate loan,

38

the interest rate on the Term Loan Credit Agreement was 7.7% as a LIBOR rate loan. Additionally the Company pays between 0.375% and 0.50% as an unused facility fee, depending on the amount borrowed.

The A&R Credit Agreement and Term Loan Credit Agreement contain certain covenants and restrictions including a fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum EBITDA target and is secured by collateral consisting of a percentage of eligible accounts receivable, inventories, and machinery and equipment. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The availability of certain baskets and the ability to enter into certain transactions (including our ability to pay dividends) may also be subject to compliance with consolidated EBITDA.

Other Debt

The Company entered into a mortgage with a local bank to finance $1.9 million of the purchase price of a commercial building in Eagle, Idaho, in July 2017. The mortgage bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.35% and utilizes a 25 year amortization schedule with a 10 year balloon payment of the balance due at that time. 

In connection with the VIP Acquisition, the Company entered into a guarantee note which requires the Company to pay $10.0 million on July 17, 2023. The note bears interest at a fixed 6.75% and requires quarterly interest payments.

Also in connection with the VIP Acquisition, the Company has entered into an additional guarantee note, generated from an EBITDA target established and met by the Company, which requires the Company to pay $7.5 million on July 17, 2023. The note bears interest at a fixed 6.75% and requires quarterly interest payments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions in the normal course of our business. Such risk is principally associated with interest rates. We currently do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to changes in interest rates because the indebtedness incurred under our New Credit Agreement is variable rate debt. Interest rate changes generally do not affect the market value of our credit agreement but do affect the amount of our interest payments and, therefore, our future earnings and cash flows. As of June 30, 2019, we had variable rate debt of approximately $79.4 million under our Revolver and Term Loan. An increase of 1% would have increased our interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 by approximately $0.4 million.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Internal Control over Financing Reporting

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

39

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases (“Topic 842”). The adoption of Topic 842 had a material impact on our Balance sheet, with no significant impact to our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations or Cash Flows, and as such we implemented certain changes to our lease and contract management related control activities to enhance policies and periodic review procedures to incorporate specific Topic 842 considerations.

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30,  2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to, factors discussed under the headings “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”;our ability to successfully grow our business through acquisitions; our dependency on a limited number of customers; our ability to implement our growth strategy effectively; disruptions in our manufacturing and distribution chains; competition from veterinarians and others in our industry; reputational damage to our brands; economic trends and spending on pets; the effectiveness of our marketing and trade promotion programs; recalls or withdrawals of our products or product liability claims; our ability to manage our manufacturing and supply chain effectively; disruptions in our manufacturing and distribution chains; our ability to introduce new products and improve existing products; our failure to protect our intellectual property; costs associated with governmental regulation; our ability to keep and retain key employees; our ability to sustain profitability; and the risks set forth under the “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect

the occurrence of unanticipated events. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Consequently, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On April 4, 2018, Med Vets, Inc. and  Bay Medical Solutions Inc. (collectively “Plaintiffs”) filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against PetIQ and VIP Petcare Holdings, Inc. for alleged unlawful merger and other antitrust violations. On April 22, 2019 the Court granted the Company’s Motion to Dismiss without further leave to amend, concluding that Plaintiffs were not able to identify any factual allegations to support their alleged claims.  Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on May 21, 2019. Appeal briefing will occur during late 2019 and early 2020.  

We are from time to time subject to, and are presently involved in, litigation and other proceedings. Other than the litigation described above, we believe that there are no pending lawsuits or claims that, individually or in the aggregate, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

RECITALS

A.          The Borrowers, the Lenders, and Administrative Agent are parties to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 17, 2018, as amended by the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Joinder dated as of August 9, 2018 and as supplemented by the Consent Agreement dated as of October 17, 2018 and the Joinder No. 1 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 10, 2018 (collectively, the “Credit Agreement”) and certain other related Loan Documents, pursuant to which the Lenders provide the Borrowers a revolving credit facility with sub-facilities for letters of credit and swing line loans.

3.           Removal of Cash Management Obligations as a Sub-Line of the Revolving Credit Facility.  Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by amending and restating the definition of “Total Revolving Credit Outstandings” so that it reads in full as

Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, an amendment to, or a consent to a deviation from, any right, power, or remedy of Administrative Agent or the Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, as in effect prior to the date hereof.

B.           The Borrowers represent and warrant to Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Amendment (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to an earlier date, which are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date) and that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

C.           This Amendment constitutes the entire agreement of the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof and cannot be changed or terminated orally.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing this Amendment (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original hereof.

E.           This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws (as opposed to the conflicts of law principles) of the State of New York.

Principal Business Activity and Principles of Consolidation

PetIQ is a leading, rapidly growing pet health and wellness company. Through points of distribution across retail and e-commerce channels, PetIQ has a mission to make pet lives better by educating pet parents on the importance of offering regular, convenient access and affordable choices for pet preventative and wellness veterinary products and services. PetIQ believes that pets are an important part of the family and deserve the best products and care we can give them.

We are the managing member of PetIQ Holdings, LLC (“Holdco”), a Delaware limited liability company, which is the sole member of PetIQ, LLC (“Opco”) and, through Holdco, operate and control all the business and affairs of Opco.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30,  2019 and December 31,2018 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 and related notes thereto included in most recent annual report and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K on March 12, 2019. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets; the valuation of property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, the valuation of assets and liabilities in connection with acquisitions, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the valuation of inventories, and reserves for legal contingencies.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are at cost, which approximates fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The guarantee notes are carried at cost, which approximates fair value as the stated interest rate is consistent with current market rates. Our term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable interest rate plus an applicable margin and, therefore, carrying amounts approximate fair value.

The following table presents liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

$'s in 000's		June 30, 2019	December 31, 2018
Liabilities:
2019 Contingent note	$	3,460	$	2,680

In connection with the acquisition of Community Veterinary Clinics, LLC d/b/a VIP Petcare (“VIP” and such acquisition, the “VIP Acquisition”) a portion of the purchase price was structured in the form of Contingent Notes (the “Contingent Notes”) that vest based on the combined Company EBITDA targets for the years ending December 31, 2018 and 2019 (“Measurement Dates”). See Note 2 – “Business Combinations” for more information regarding the VIP Acquisition. The Company is required to reassess the fair value of the Contingent Notes at each reporting period. As of December 31, 2018, $7.5 million was payable pursuant to the 2018 Contingent Note, subject to the same payment terms described below. As such, the portion of the liability as it relates to the 2018 Contingent Note became fixed as of December 31, 2018.

For the 2019 Contingent Note, a Monte Carlo simulation method was utilized in estimating the fair value (Level 3) of the Contingent Note. The simulation model is a numerical algorithm that generates thousands of scenarios for the future EBITDA in order to assess the probability of achieving the EBITDA hurdles. The valuation model simulates the last twelve months EBITDA from the Valuation Date to the end of each Measurement Date in one 'jump'. The Contingent Notes were valued within a risk-neutral option pricing framework with the real growth rate adjusted for the market price of EBITDA risk. The Company used the WACC less risk-free rate as a proxy for the EBITDA risk premium.

Although the Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, different assumptions, including those regarding the operating results of the Company, or changes in the future may result in different estimated amounts.

The contingent consideration is included in long-term debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company will satisfy this obligation with a cash payment to the sellers due in July 2023 upon the achievement of the respective milestones discussed above. The Contingent Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.75%, beginning upon the achievement of the respective milestones discussed above.

The following table summarizes the Level 3 activity related to the Contingent Notes:

	Six months ended
$'s in 000's	June 30, 2019		June 30, 2018
Balance at beginning of the period	$	2,680	$	—
Fair value of contingent consideration at VIP Acquisition date		—		6,900
Change in fair value of contingent consideration		780		600
Balance at the end of the period	$	3,460	$	7,500

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition. All credit card, debit card and electronic transfer transactions that process in less than seven days are classified as cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash accounts in various deposit accounts, the balances of which at times exceeded federal deposit insurance limits during the periods presented.

Receivables and Credit Policy

Trade receivables due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms generally requiring payment within 45 days from the invoice date. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer, net of discounts and estimated deductions. The Company does not have a policy for charging interest on overdue customer account balances. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer's remittance advice.

Other receivables consists of various receivables due from vendors, banking partners, and notes receivable from suppliers. Non-current portions of these other receivables are included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts receivable consists of the following as of:

$'s in 000's	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Trade receivables	$	79,283	$	43,531
Other receivables		6,237		1,764
		85,520		45,295
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts		(378)		(216)
Non-current portion of receivables		(13)		(72)
Total accounts receivable, net	$	85,129	$	45,007

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which approximate the first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method and includes estimated rebate amounts. The Company maintains reserves for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventory based on the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated net realizable value. In estimating the reserves, management considers factors such as excess or slow-moving inventories, product expiration dating, and market conditions. Changes in these conditions may result in additional reserves. Major components of inventories consist of the following as of:

$'s in 000's	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Raw materials	$	6,580	$	6,106
Work in progress		89		94
Finished goods		91,764		85,942
Total inventories	$	98,433	$	92,142

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets, except for leasehold improvements and finance leased assets which are depreciated over the shorter of the expected useful life or the lease term. Depreciation and amortization expense is recorded in cost of sales and general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, depending on the use of the asset. The estimated useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are as follows:

Computer equipment and software	3 years
Vehicle and vehicle accessories	3-5 years
Buildings	33 years
Equipment	2-15 years
Leasehold improvements	3-15 years
Furniture and fixtures	5-10 years

Revenue Recognition

When Performance Obligations Are Satisfied

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue recognition. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligations are product sales and the delivery of veterinary services.

Revenue is generally recognized for product sales on a point in time basis when product control is transferred to the customer. In general, control transfers to the customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable shipping terms, as the customer can direct the use and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset at this point in time.  

The Company determined that certain products manufactured to a customer’s specifications do not have an alternative future use at a reasonable profit margin due to costs associated with reworking, transporting and repackaging these products. These products are produced subject to purchase orders that include an enforceable right to payment.  Therefore the Company determined that revenue on these products would be recognized over time, as the products are produced. This represents a minor subset of the products the Company manufactures.

Revenue is recognized for services over time when the service is delivered. 

Customer contracts generally do not include more than one performance obligation. When a contract does contain more than one performance obligation, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price for each distinct good is generally determined by directly observable data.  

The performance obligations in our contracts are satisfied within one year. As such, we have not disclosed the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations as of June 30, 2019.

Significant Payment Terms

Our customer contracts identify the product, quantity, price, payment and final delivery terms. Payment terms usually include early pay discounts. We grant payment terms consistent with industry standards. Although some payment terms may be more extended, no terms beyond one year are granted at contract inception. As a result, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component because the period between our transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and the customer’s payment for that good or service will be one year or less.

Shipping

All shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in the cost of sales. This includes shipping and handling costs after control over a product has transferred to a customer.

Variable Consideration

In addition to fixed contract consideration, most contracts include some form of variable consideration. The most common forms of variable consideration include discounts, rebates, and sales returns and allowances. Variable consideration is treated as a reduction in revenue when product revenue is recognized. Depending on the specific type of variable consideration, we use either the expected value or most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration. We believe there will not be significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration when any related uncertainties are resolved with our customers. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and any recent changes in the market. Any uncertainties in the ultimate resolution of variable consideration due to factors outside of the Company’s influence are typically resolved within a short timeframe therefore not requiring any additional constraint on the variable consideration.  

Trade marketing expense, consisting primarily of customer pricing allowances and merchandising funds are offered through various programs to customers and are designed to promote our products. They include the cost of in-store product displays, feature pricing in retailers' advertisements and other temporary price reductions. These programs are offered to our customers both in fixed and variable (rate per case) amounts. The ultimate cost of these programs depends on retailer performance and is subject to management estimates.

Certain retailers require the payment of product introductory fees in order to obtain space for the Company's products on the retailer's store shelves. This cost is typically a lump sum and is determined using the expected value based on the contract between the two parties.

Both trade marketing expense and product introductory fees are recognized as reductions of revenue at the time the transfer of control of the associated products occurs. Accruals for expected payouts, or amounts paid in advance, under these programs are included as other current assets or accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Warranties & Returns

PetIQ provides all customers with a standard or assurance type warranty. Either stated or implied, the Company provides assurance the related products will comply with all agreed-upon specifications and other warranties provided under the law. No significant services beyond an assurance warranty are provided to customers. 

The Company does not grant a general right of return. However, customers may return defective or non-conforming products. Customer remedies may include either a cash refund or an exchange of the product. As a result, the right of return and related refund liability is estimated and recorded as a reduction in revenue. This return estimate is reviewed and updated each period and is based on historical sales and return experience. 

Contract balances

Contract asset and liability balances as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are immaterial. The Company does not have significant deferred revenue or unbilled receivable balances.

Cost of Services

Cost of Services are comprised of all service and product costs related to the delivery of veterinary services, including but not limited to, salaries of veterinarians, technicians and other clinic based personnel, transportation and delivery costs, rent, occupancy costs, supply costs, depreciation and amortization of clinic assets, certain marketing and promotional expenses and costs of goods sold.

Research and Development and Advertising Costs

Research and development and advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses. Research and development costs amounted to $70 thousand and $48 thousand for three months ended June 30,  2019 and 2018, respectively, and $167 thousand and $97 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Advertising costs were $1,022 thousand and $1,418 thousand for the three months ended June 30,  2019 and 2018, respectively, and $1,677 thousand and $2,013 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Advertising costs do not include trade marketing programs which are part of net sales.

Income taxes

The Company records a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. The Company may record a valuation allowance, if conditions are applicable, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

Non-controlling interest

The non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated statements of income represents the portion of earnings or loss attributable to the economic interest in the Company’s subsidiary, Holdco, held by the non-controlling holders of Class B common stock and limited liability company interests in Holdco. Non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheet represents the portion of net assets of the Company attributable to the non-controlling holders of Class B common stock and limited liability company interests in Holdco, based on the portion of the LLC Interests owned by holders of Class B common stock and limited liability company interests in Holdco. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 the non-controlling interest was approximately 19.4% and 23.2%, respectively. 

Litigation

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims, litigation, investigations and contingencies arising out of the ordinary course of business. If the likelihood of an adverse legal outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of loss is estimable, then a liability is accrued in accordance with accounting guidance for Contingencies. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed. The Company consults with both internal and external legal counsel related to litigation.

Adopted Accounting Standard Updates

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases.  The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective optional transition method. Therefore, the standard was applied beginning January 1, 2019 and prior periods were not restated. The adoption of the standard did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. The Company elected the package of practical expedients and implemented internal controls and system functionality to enable the preparation of financial information upon adoption.  In addition, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components for all of the Company's leases.

The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of a right of use asset and short-term and long-term liabilities recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet related to operating leases. Accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. In addition, the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or cash flows.

On January 17, 2018, PetIQ, Inc. completed the acquisition of VIP from VIP Holdings, LLC (“VIPH” or the “Sellers”).

The fair value of the consideration is summarized as follows:

$'s in 000's		Fair value
Current assets	$	15,617
Property, plant, and equipment		8,885
Other assets, net		295
Intangible assets - Customer relationships (20 year useful life)		77,200
Intangible assets - Brand names (10 year useful life)		9,600
Goodwill		112,643
Total assets		224,240
Current liabilities		22,908
Capital lease obligations		3,032
Total liabilities		25,940
Purchase price	$	198,300
Cash paid, net of cash acquired	$	92,082
LLC Interests and shares of Class B common stock		90,031
Guarantee note		10,000
Contingent notes		6,900
Post-closing working capital adjustment		(713)
Fair value of total consideration transferred	$	198,300

The definite-lived intangibles primarily relate to customer relationships and brand names. The $86.8 million represents the fair value and will be amortized over the estimated useful lives of the assets through January 2038. Amortization expense for these definite-lived intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits that do not qualify for separate recognition and primarily includes the assembled workforce and other non-contractual relationships, as well as expected future synergies. Approximately $49.8 million of the $112.6 million of goodwill will not be tax deductible, and the remaining balance is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill was allocated to the Products and Services segments.

HBH Enterprises

On October 17, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of HBH Enterprises, LLC (“HBH”) (the “HBH Acquisition”). Total consideration, net of cash acquired, was approximately $14.7 million consisting of cash of $1.7 million and equity consideration of approximately $13.0 million. The equity consideration consisted 400 thousand LLC interests of Holdco and 400 thousand shares of Class B common stock,  $0.001  par value per share, of the Company.

The estimate of fair value and purchase price allocation were based on information available at the time of closing the HBH Acquisition and the Company continues to evaluate the underlying inputs and assumptions. The Company is in process of finalizing certain liabilities included in working capital. Accordingly, these liability preliminary estimates are subject to adjustments during the measurement period, not to exceed one year, based upon new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the date of closing the HBH Acquisition. The purchase price allocation has been allocated as follows: 

$'s in 000's		Preliminary Estimated Fair Value
Working Capital, net	$	1,676
Property, plant, and equipment		2,686
Intangible assets - Customer relationships		3,800
Goodwill		7,607
Total assets		15,769
Capital lease obligations		1,114
Total liabilities		1,114
Estimated purchase price	$	14,655
Cash paid, net of cash acquired	$	1,683
LLC Interests and shares of Class B common stock		12,972
Estimated fair value of total consideration transferred	$	14,655

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits that do not qualify for separate recognition and primarily includes the assembled workforce and other non-contractual relationships, as well as expected future synergies. Approximately $5.0 million of the $7.6 million of goodwill will not be tax deductible, and the remaining balance is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill was allocated to the Products segment.

Note 5 – Debt

A&R Credit Agreement

In connection with the VIP Acquisition, the Company amended and restated its existing revolving credit agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”) on January 17, 2018, which was subsequently amended in August 2018. The A&R Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility of $75 million in the aggregate, at either LIBOR or Base (prime) interest rates plus an applicable margin. The A&R Credit Agreement matures on January 17, 2023 and contains a lockbox mechanism.

All obligations under the A&R Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdco and each of its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries and, subject to certain exceptions, each of its material current and future domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries. All obligations under the A&R Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of each borrower and guarantor under the A&R Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

Also in connection with the closing of the VIP Acquisition, the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for a secured term loan credit facility of $75 million in aggregate at either LIBOR or Base (prime) interest rates plus an applicable margin. The Term Loan Credit Agreement requires quarterly principal payments, with the full balance due on January 17, 2023.

As of June 30,  2019, the Company had $5.1 million outstanding under the A&R Credit Agreement and $74.3 million under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The interest rate on the A&R Credit Agreement was 5.5% as a Base Rate loan, the interest rate on the Term Loan Credit Agreement was 7.7% as a LIBOR rate loan. Additionally the Company pays between 0.375% and 0.50% as an unused facility fee, depending on the amount borrowed. 

The A&R Credit Agreement and Term Loan Credit Agreement contain certain covenants and restrictions including a fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum EBITDA target and is secured by collateral consisting of a percentage of eligible accounts receivable, inventories, and machinery and equipment. As of June 30,  2019, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Other Debt

The Company entered into a mortgage with a local bank to finance $1.9 million of the purchase price of a commercial building in Eagle, Idaho, in July 2017. The mortgage bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.35% and utilizes a 25 year amortization schedule with a 10 year balloon payment of the balance due at that time. 

In connection with the VIP Acquisition, the Company entered into a guarantee note which requires the Company to pay $10.0 million to the sellers on July 17, 2023. The note bears interest at a fixed 6.75% and requires quarterly interest payments. As of December 31, 2018, $7.5 million was payable pursuant to the 2018 Contingent Note and up to $10 million may be payable pursuant to the 2019 Contingent Note, collectively, “Notes Payable – VIP Acquisition” of $17.5 million.  See “Note – 2 Business Combinations”. The $7.5 million note requires quarterly interest payments of 6.75% with the balance payable July 17, 2023. The following represents the Company’s long-term debt as of:

$'s in 000's	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018

Leases

Note 6 – Leases

The Company leases certain real estate for commercial, production, and retail purposes, as well as equipment from third parties. Lease expiration dates are between 2019 and 2025. A portion of leases are denominated in foreign currencies. 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires most leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method and used the effective date as our date of initial adoption. Prior year financial statements were not restated under the new standard and, therefore, those amounts are not presented below. For both operating and finance leases, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset, which represents the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability, which represents the present value of our obligation to make payments arising over the lease term.

We elected the short-term lease exemption for all leases that qualify. This means leases having an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

The Company's leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Renewal options generally range from one to ten years and the options to extend are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Some leases have variable payments, however, because they are not based on an index or rate, they are not included in the ROU assets and liabilities. Variable payments for real estate leases primarily relate to common area maintenance, insurance, taxes and utilities. Variable payments for equipment, vehicles, and leases within supply agreements primarily relate to usage, repairs, and maintenance. As the implicit rate is not readily determinable for most of the Company's leases, the Company applies a portfolio approach using an estimated incremental borrowing rate, giving consideration to company specific information and publicly available interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, to determine the initial present value of lease payments over the lease terms.

The effect of the changes made to our consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 for the adoption of the new lease standard was as follows: 

	Balance at		Adjustments due		Balance at
$'s in 000's	December 31, 2018		to ASC 842		January 1, 2019

Note 7 – Income Tax

As a result of the IPO and related reorganization transactions completed in July 2017, the Company held a majority of the economic interest in Holdco and consolidates the financial position and results of Holdco. The remaining ownership of Holdco not held by the Company is considered a non-controlling interest. Holdco is treated as a partnership for income tax reporting. Holdco’s members, including the Company, are liable for federal, state, and local income taxes based on their share of Holdco’s taxable income. 

Our effective tax rate (ETR) from continuing operations was 13.0% and 14.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively and 16.0% and (3.3)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30,  2019 and 2018 was different than the U.S federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of the non-controlling interest income that is not taxable.

HoldCo makes cash distributions to members to pay taxes attributable to their allocable share of income earned.  In the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company made cash distributions of $1 thousand and $1.4 million, respectively. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company made cash distributions of $32 thousand and $0.6 million, respectively. Additionally, HoldCo accrues for distributions required to be made related to estimated income taxes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company accrued $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company accrued $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

Note 8 – Earnings per Share

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income available to PetIQ, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income available to PetIQ, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.

The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock:

Earnings per share of Class A common stock — diluted	$	0.17	$	0.16	$	0.24	$	0.03

Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, all shares of the Company’s Class B common stock have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as they have been determined to be anti-dilutive under the if-converted method, respectively.

Additionally, 1,180 thousand and 1,550 thousand stock options and restricted stock units have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, as they have been determined to be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, 1,039 thousand stock options and restricted stock units have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as they have been determined to be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

Note 9 – Stock Based Compensation

PetIQ, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan

The PetIQ, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of various equity-based incentive awards to directors of the Company, employees, and consultants. The types of equity-based awards that may be granted under the Plan include: stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), and other stock-based awards. The Company initially reserved 1,914 thousand registered shares of Class A common stock for issuance under the Plan, and subsequently authorized an additional 2,000 thousand at the 2019 annual meeting for a total of 3,914 thousand authorized shares. As of June 30,  2019,  1,889 thousand shares were available for issuance under the Plan. All awards issued under the Plan may only be settled in shares of Class A common stock.

PetIQ, Inc. 2018 Inducement and Retention Stock Plan for CVC Employees

The PetIQ, Inc. 2018 Inducement and Retention Stock Plan for CVC Employees (the “Inducement Plan”) provides for the grant of stock options to employees hired in connection with the VIP Acquisition as employment inducement awards pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The Inducement Plan reserved 800 thousand shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company. As of June 30,  2019,  no shares were available for issuance under the Inducement Plan. All awards issued under the Plan may only be settled in shares of Class A common stock.

Stock Options

The Company awards stock options to certain employees and directors under the Plan and the Inducement Plan, which are subject to time-based vesting conditions, typically 25% on each anniversary of the grant date until fully vested.  Upon a termination of service relationship by the Company, all unvested options will be forfeited and the shares of common stock underlying such awards will become available for issuance under the Plan. The maximum contractual term for stock options is 10 years.

The fair value of these equity awards is amortized to equity based compensation expense over the vesting period, which totaled $1.3 million and $2.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively and $0.7 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. All stock based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses based on the role of recipients. The fair value of the stock option awards were determined on the grant dates using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on the following weighted-average assumptions for the periods ended June 30,  2019 and 2018:

	June 30, 2019			June 30, 2018
Expected term (years) (1)		6.25			6.25
Expected volatility (2)		35.00	%		35.00	%
Risk-free interest rate (3)		2.74	%		2.53	%
Dividend yield (4)		0.00	%		0.00	%

⁽¹⁾ The Company utilized the simplified method to determine the expected term of the stock options since we do not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.

⁽²⁾ The expected volatility assumption was calculated based on a peer group analysis of stock price volatility with a look back period consistent with the expected option term.

⁽³⁾ The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant, which corresponds to the expected term of the stock options.

⁽⁴⁾ The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying a cash dividend on our common stock.  

The following table summarizes the activity of the Company’s unvested stock options for the period ended June 30,  

2019.

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the period ended June 30,  2019 was $10.82 per option. At June 30,  2019, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $16.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.0 years. 

Restricted Stock Units

The Company awards RSUs to certain employees and directors under the Plan, which are subject to time-based vesting conditions. Upon a termination of service relationship by the Company, all unvested RSUs will be forfeited and the shares of common stock underlying such awards will become available for issuance under the Plan. The fair value of RSUs are measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. At June 30,  2019, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs was $4.0 million and is expected to vest over a weighted average 3.5 years.

The fair value of these equity awards is amortized to equity based compensation expense over the vesting period, which totaled $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and $0.02 million and $0.02 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. All stock based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses based on the role of recipients.

On July 8, 2019, PetIQ (“the Buyer”) completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of Sergeant’s Pet Care Products, Inc. (the “Acquisition”), including any assets related to the business, from L. Perrigo Company (“Seller”), resulting in the business becoming an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition”). The purchase price for the Acquisition is $185 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments for net working capital, closing indebtedness and transaction expenses. The Company expects the acquisition to be integrated into its Products segment by the end of Q3 2019. 

Buyer and its domestic subsidiaries amended their existing revolving credit agreement on July 8, 2019 (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to increase the size of the revolving facility to $110 million with an accordion feature allowing an additional increase up to $125 million and extend the maturity date of the revolving facility to July 8, 2024. In addition, the Credit Agreement Amendment reduces the interest rate on Eurodollar rate loans and modifies certain financial covenants, including eliminating the maximum first lien net coverage ratio.

On July 8, 2019 Buyer and its domestic subsidiaries entered into an amended and restated term loan credit agreement on July 8, 2019 (the “A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with a secured term loan facility of $220 million maturing on July 8, 2025, the proceeds of which were used to refinance the existing term loan facility and consummate the Acquisition.

All obligations under the A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by PetIQ Holdings, LLC and each of its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries and, subject to certain exceptions, each of its material current and future domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries. All obligations under the A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of Buyer and each guarantor under the A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

The A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict our and our subsidiaries’ ability to (subject to certain exceptions): (i) make investments, loans or advances; (ii) incur additional indebtedness; (iii) create liens on assets; (iv) engage in mergers or consolidations and/or sell assets; (v) pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our equity interests; (vi) repay subordinated indebtedness; (vii) make certain acquisitions; and (viii) other restrictions typical for a credit agreement of this type.

The A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default (including change of control). In addition, the A&R Term Loan Credit Agreement includes a maintenance covenant that requires compliance with a maximum first lien net leverage ratio. The availability of certain baskets and the ability to enter into certain transactions (including our ability to pay dividends) may also be subject to compliance with secured leverage ratios.

Principal Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets; the valuation of property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, the valuation of assets and liabilities in connection with acquisitions, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the valuation of inventories, and reserves for legal contingencies.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are at cost, which approximates fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The guarantee notes are carried at cost, which approximates fair value as the stated interest rate is consistent with current market rates. Our term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable interest rate plus an applicable margin and, therefore, carrying amounts approximate fair value.

The following table presents liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

$'s in 000's		June 30, 2019	December 31, 2018
Liabilities:
2019 Contingent note	$	3,460	$	2,680

In connection with the acquisition of Community Veterinary Clinics, LLC d/b/a VIP Petcare (“VIP” and such acquisition, the “VIP Acquisition”) a portion of the purchase price was structured in the form of Contingent Notes (the “Contingent Notes”) that vest based on the combined Company EBITDA targets for the years ending December 31, 2018 and 2019 (“Measurement Dates”). See Note 2 – “Business Combinations” for more information regarding the VIP Acquisition. The Company is required to reassess the fair value of the Contingent Notes at each reporting period. As of December 31, 2018, $7.5 million was payable pursuant to the 2018 Contingent Note, subject to the same payment terms described below. As such, the portion of the liability as it relates to the 2018 Contingent Note became fixed as of December 31, 2018.

For the 2019 Contingent Note, a Monte Carlo simulation method was utilized in estimating the fair value (Level 3) of the Contingent Note. The simulation model is a numerical algorithm that generates thousands of scenarios for the future EBITDA in order to assess the probability of achieving the EBITDA hurdles. The valuation model simulates the last twelve months EBITDA from the Valuation Date to the end of each Measurement Date in one 'jump'. The Contingent Notes were valued within a risk-neutral option pricing framework with the real growth rate adjusted for the market price of EBITDA risk. The Company used the WACC less risk-free rate as a proxy for the EBITDA risk premium.

Although the Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, different assumptions, including those regarding the operating results of the Company, or changes in the future may result in different estimated amounts.

The contingent consideration is included in long-term debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company will satisfy this obligation with a cash payment to the sellers due in July 2023 upon the achievement of the respective milestones discussed above. The Contingent Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.75%, beginning upon the achievement of the respective milestones discussed above.

The following table summarizes the Level 3 activity related to the Contingent Notes:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition. All credit card, debit card and electronic transfer transactions that process in less than seven days are classified as cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash accounts in various deposit accounts, the balances of which at times exceeded federal deposit insurance limits during the periods presented.

Receivables and Credit Policy

Receivables and Credit Policy

Trade receivables due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms generally requiring payment within 45 days from the invoice date. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer, net of discounts and estimated deductions. The Company does not have a policy for charging interest on overdue customer account balances. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer's remittance advice.

Other receivables consists of various receivables due from vendors, banking partners, and notes receivable from suppliers. Non-current portions of these other receivables are included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts receivable consists of the following as of:

$'s in 000's	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Trade receivables	$	79,283	$	43,531

Non-current portion of receivables		(13)		(72)
Total accounts receivable, net	$	85,129	$	45,007

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which approximate the first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method and includes estimated rebate amounts. The Company maintains reserves for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventory based on the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated net realizable value. In estimating the reserves, management considers factors such as excess or slow-moving inventories, product expiration dating, and market conditions. Changes in these conditions may result in additional reserves. Major components of inventories consist of the following as of:

$'s in 000's	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Raw materials	$	6,580	$	6,106
Work in progress		89		94
Finished goods		91,764		85,942
Total inventories	$	98,433	$	92,142

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets, except for leasehold improvements and finance leased assets which are depreciated over the shorter of the expected useful life or the lease term. Depreciation and amortization expense is recorded in cost of sales and general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, depending on the use of the asset. The estimated useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are as follows:

Computer equipment and software	3 years
Vehicle and vehicle accessories	3-5 years
Buildings	33 years
Equipment	2-15 years
Leasehold improvements	3-15 years
Furniture and fixtures	5-10 years

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

When Performance Obligations Are Satisfied

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue recognition. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligations are product sales and the delivery of veterinary services.

Revenue is generally recognized for product sales on a point in time basis when product control is transferred to the customer. In general, control transfers to the customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable shipping terms, as the customer can direct the use and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset at this point in time.  

The Company determined that certain products manufactured to a customer’s specifications do not have an alternative future use at a reasonable profit margin due to costs associated with reworking, transporting and repackaging these products. These products are produced subject to purchase orders that include an enforceable right to payment.  Therefore the Company determined that revenue on these products would be recognized over time, as the products are produced. This represents a minor subset of the products the Company manufactures.

Revenue is recognized for services over time when the service is delivered. 

Customer contracts generally do not include more than one performance obligation. When a contract does contain more than one performance obligation, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price for each distinct good is generally determined by directly observable data.  

The performance obligations in our contracts are satisfied within one year. As such, we have not disclosed the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations as of June 30, 2019.

Significant Payment Terms

Our customer contracts identify the product, quantity, price, payment and final delivery terms. Payment terms usually include early pay discounts. We grant payment terms consistent with industry standards. Although some payment terms may be more extended, no terms beyond one year are granted at contract inception. As a result, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component because the period between our transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and the customer’s payment for that good or service will be one year or less.

Shipping

All shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in the cost of sales. This includes shipping and handling costs after control over a product has transferred to a customer.

Variable Consideration

In addition to fixed contract consideration, most contracts include some form of variable consideration. The most common forms of variable consideration include discounts, rebates, and sales returns and allowances. Variable consideration is treated as a reduction in revenue when product revenue is recognized. Depending on the specific type of variable consideration, we use either the expected value or most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration. We believe there will not be significant changes to our estimates of variable consideration when any related uncertainties are resolved with our customers. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and any recent changes in the market. Any uncertainties in the ultimate resolution of variable consideration due to factors outside of the Company’s influence are typically resolved within a short timeframe therefore not requiring any additional constraint on the variable consideration.  

Trade marketing expense, consisting primarily of customer pricing allowances and merchandising funds are offered through various programs to customers and are designed to promote our products. They include the cost of in-store product displays, feature pricing in retailers' advertisements and other temporary price reductions. These programs are offered to our customers both in fixed and variable (rate per case) amounts. The ultimate cost of these programs depends on retailer performance and is subject to management estimates.

Certain retailers require the payment of product introductory fees in order to obtain space for the Company's products on the retailer's store shelves. This cost is typically a lump sum and is determined using the expected value based on the contract between the two parties.

Both trade marketing expense and product introductory fees are recognized as reductions of revenue at the time the transfer of control of the associated products occurs. Accruals for expected payouts, or amounts paid in advance, under these programs are included as other current assets or accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Warranties & Returns

PetIQ provides all customers with a standard or assurance type warranty. Either stated or implied, the Company provides assurance the related products will comply with all agreed-upon specifications and other warranties provided under the law. No significant services beyond an assurance warranty are provided to customers. 

The Company does not grant a general right of return. However, customers may return defective or non-conforming products. Customer remedies may include either a cash refund or an exchange of the product. As a result, the right of return and related refund liability is estimated and recorded as a reduction in revenue. This return estimate is reviewed and updated each period and is based on historical sales and return experience. 

Contract balances

Contract asset and liability balances as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are immaterial. The Company does not have significant deferred revenue or unbilled receivable balances

Cost of Services

Cost of Services

Cost of Services are comprised of all service and product costs related to the delivery of veterinary services, including but not limited to, salaries of veterinarians, technicians and other clinic based personnel, transportation and delivery costs, rent, occupancy costs, supply costs, depreciation and amortization of clinic assets, certain marketing and promotional expenses and costs of goods sold.

Research and Development and Advertising Costs

Research and Development and Advertising Costs

Research and development and advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses. Research and development costs amounted to $70 thousand and $48 thousand for three months ended June 30,  2019 and 2018, respectively, and $167 thousand and $97 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Advertising costs were $1,022 thousand and $1,418 thousand for the three months ended June 30,  2019 and 2018, respectively, and $1,677 thousand and $2,013 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Advertising costs do not include trade marketing programs which are part of net sales.

Accounting for Income Taxes

Income taxes

The Company records a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. The Company may record a valuation allowance, if conditions are applicable, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

Non-controlling interest

Non-controlling interest

The non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated statements of income represents the portion of earnings or loss attributable to the economic interest in the Company’s subsidiary, Holdco, held by the non-controlling holders of Class B common stock and limited liability company interests in Holdco. Non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheet represents the portion of net assets of the Company attributable to the non-controlling holders of Class B common stock and limited liability company interests in Holdco, based on the portion of the LLC Interests owned by holders of Class B common stock and limited liability company interests in Holdco. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 the non-controlling interest was approximately 19.4% and 23.2%, respectively.  

Litigation

Litigation

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims, litigation, investigations and contingencies arising out of the ordinary course of business. If the likelihood of an adverse legal outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of loss is estimable, then a liability is accrued in accordance with accounting guidance for Contingencies. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed. The Company consults with both internal and external legal counsel related to litigation.

Adopted Accounting Standard Updates

Adopted Accounting Standard Updates

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases.  The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective optional transition method. Therefore, the standard was applied beginning January 1, 2019 and prior periods were not restated. The adoption of the standard did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. The Company elected the package of practical expedients and implemented internal controls and system functionality to enable the preparation of financial information upon adoption.  In addition, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components for all of the Company's leases.

The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of a right of use asset and short-term and long-term liabilities recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet related to operating leases. Accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. In addition, the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or cash flows.

Stock Based Compensation

Fair value of the stock option awards was determined on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on the following weighted-average assumptions

	June 30, 2019			June 30, 2018
Expected term (years) (1)		6.25			6.25
Expected volatility (2)		35.00	%		35.00	%
Risk-free interest rate (3)		2.74	%		2.53	%
Dividend yield (4)		0.00	%		0.00	%

⁽¹⁾ The Company utilized the simplified method to determine the expected term of the stock options since we do not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.

⁽²⁾ The expected volatility assumption was calculated based on a peer group analysis of stock price volatility with a look back period consistent with the expected option term.

⁽³⁾ The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant, which corresponds to the expected term of the stock options.

⁽⁴⁾ The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying a cash dividend on our common stock.
