Mr. Hulett continued, “We believe that we are making progress towards being a leader in total pet health expertise. We are confident that our investments in the core PetMeds business, our unique on-demand digital veterinarian and pet telemedicine service and our recently announced acquisition of PetCareRx, will position PetMeds for future long-term growth.”

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share on the Company’s common stock.  The dividend will be payable on February 27, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 20, 2023.  The declaration and payment of future dividends is discretionary and will be subject to the determination by the Board of Directors.

Based on a sales tax assessment received and accrued in the second quarter fiscal year 2023, the Company initiated a process to evaluate the potential for further sales tax contingencies, We expect to complete the evaluation in the quarter ending March 31, 2023, the results of which could have a material effect on the results of operations.

This afternoon the Company will host a conference call to review the quarter’s financial results.

To provide investors and the market with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed (see below) adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income excluding share-based compensation expense; depreciation and amortization; income tax provision; interest income (expense); and other non-operational expenses. We have provided reconciliations below of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We have included adjusted EBITDA, herein, because it is a key measure used by our management and Board of Directors to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparability across reporting periods by removing the effect of non-cash expenses and other expenses. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board of Directors.

We believe it is useful to exclude non-cash charges, such as share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization from our adjusted EBITDA because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations. We believe it is useful to exclude income tax provision and interest income (expense), as neither are components of our core business operations. We also believe that it is useful to exclude other expenses, including the investment banking fee related to the Vetster partnership, acquisition costs related to PetCareRx, employee severance and estimated state sales tax accrual as these items are not indicative of our ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, and these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditures;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect share-based compensation. Share-based compensation has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a material recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest income (expense), net; or changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect transaction related costs and other items which are either not representative of our underlying operations or are incremental costs that result from an actual or planned transaction and include litigation matters, integration consulting fees, internal salaries and wages (to the extent the individuals are assigned full-time to integration and transformation activities) and certain costs related to integrating and converging IT systems;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain non-operating expenses including the employee severance which reduces cash available to us;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain expenses including the estimated state sales tax accrual which reduces cash available to us.

•Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces the measures usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these and other limitations, adjusted EBITDA should only be considered as supplemental to, and alongside with other GAAP based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income, net margin, and our other GAAP results. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated:
