**EXPLANATORY NOTE** 

PetMed Express, Inc. ("we," "us," "our," or the "Company") is filing this comprehensive annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023 (the "Comprehensive Form 10-K"). This Comprehensive Form 10-K contains our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, as well as restatements of the following previously filed periods: (i) our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 originally included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 (the "2024 10-K"); (ii) our unaudited condensed consolidated quarterly financial information included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods within the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (collectively, the "<u>Historical Quarterly Reports</u>"); and (iii) our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024 , and December 31, 2024 (collectively, the "2025 Quarterly Reports" and together with the Historical Quarterly Reports and the 2024 10-K, the "Prior Reports" and all financial statements included in the Prior Reports, collectively the "Affected Financial Statements").

**Background and Effects of the Restatement**

As previously disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 7, 2025, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, after discussions with management and the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, RSM US LLP ("RSM"), concluded that the Affected Financial Statements should no longer be relied upon. This conclusion resulted from income statement classification errors described below. As a result, any related press releases, investor presentations, shareholder communications, or other materials that describe or reference the impacted portions of the Affected Financial Statements should likewise no longer be relied upon.

The need for restatement was identified: (1) in part by the Audit Committee Investigation (see Part II, Item 7); and (2) during financial analyses conducted in connection with the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The Company participates in a range of vendor-funded programs through which it receives reimbursements for certain activities, including advertising, sales incentives, and other promotional efforts, typically linked to purchase or sales volume thresholds. These programs are designed to offset costs incurred in connection with stocking, promoting, and selling vendor products.

The Company has historically accounted for promotional sales reimbursements as a component of its revenues. Upon further evaluation, and in discussion with RSM, the Company determined that this accounting treatment was not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). Under U.S. GAAP, such consideration received should instead be reflected as a reduction to either cost of sales and/or advertising expense, depending on the nature of the arrangement. As a result of this correction, previously reported revenue, cost of sales, and advertising expenses in the Affected Financial Statements have been revised. While the reclassification affects individual line items on the statements of operations, there is no impact on net income or other financial statements, including the consolidated balance sheets, statements of cash flows, or statements of changes in shareholders' equity.

**Internal Control Considerations**

For a description of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and actions to be taken, to address the material weaknesses, see Item 9A, "Controls and Procedures" of this Form 10-K. In addition, RSM US LLP ("RSM"), the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, issued an adverse opinion on its report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**Items Restated in this Comprehensive Form 10-K**

This Comprehensive Form 10-K reflects changes to the Affected Financial Statements. The restatement of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 is disclosed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The restatement of the consolidated financial statements for the quarterly and year-to-date periods included in the Historical Quarterly Reports and in the 2025 Quarterly Reports are disclosed in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements. Other sections impacted by the restatement of the Affected Financial Statements are:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

The Company has not filed, and does not intend to file, amendments to the previously filed Prior Reports. Accordingly, investors should rely only on the financial information and other disclosures regarding the Affected Financial Statements in this Comprehensive Form 10-K or in future filings with the SEC (as applicable), and not on any previously issued or filed reports, earnings releases or similar communications relating to these periods.

See Note 1 and Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of this Comprehensive Form 10-K, for additional information on the restatement and the related consolidated financial statement effects.

See Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a discussion of the Completion of the Audit Committee Investigation.

**ITEM 1. BUSINESS**

**GENERAL**

PetMed Express, Inc. and subsidiaries, d/b/a PetMeds®, and as parent company of PetCareRx®, is a pioneer in pet healthcare, building a consumer-first digital platform in 1996 that transformed the way customers fulfill pet medications. Nearly thirty years later, as a leading nationwide direct-to-consumer pet health and wellness retailer, the Company markets and sells directly to consumers through its websites (Petmeds.com and PetCareRx.com), customer contact center (1-800-PetMeds), and mobile applications (iOS and Android). The Company provides access to top branded pharmaceuticals, generic medications, compounded prescription medications, pharmacy fulfillment, and personalized autoship capabilities. Our digital platform offers pet healthcare solutions for a broad range of chronic conditions, including those related to allergy, arthritis, anxiety, kidney, hyperthyroidism, and others for cat, dog, and horses. We also offer access to a range of non-prescription health and wellness products and Rx food, non-Rx food, and treats. PetMeds and PetCareRx receive the pet's prescription through our websites and connects to the customer's licensed veterinarian for approval. Through our content website, pethealthmd.com, consumers can access educational articles for any health-related questions regarding their pets. The Company offers consumers an attractive alternative for obtaining pet medications, foods, and supplies in terms of convenience, price, speed of delivery, and valued customer service. Through partnerships with 75,000

------

veterinarians and a loyal customer base who rely on our services, our in-house pharmacies and extended pet healthcare partnerships seek to offer unparalleled value and convenience to families at every stage of their pets' lives.

We are deeply committed to the mission and purpose that has driven our business from the start. Since our founding, we have fulfilled orders for almost twenty-million pet parents in all 50 states and have been instrumental in providing products that help pets live longer, healthier lives. The support of our customers nationwide has been the cornerstone of our success. Honoring our combined legacy, we bring our core values to every role we undertake as we empower pet families, ensuring they have access to products and services that can provide the best possible care for their dogs, cats, and horses.

Since 1996, PetMeds has been serving as a trusted source for pet health across North America. In April 2023, we acquired PetCareRx, Inc. ("PetCareRx"), an online supplier of pet medications, foods, and supplies based in New York. This acquisition added a catalog of Rx and non-Rx food and supplies, allowing us to expand beyond our core offering of pet prescriptions. Since this acquisition, we provide a more extensive selection of premium food, supplements, treats, and other pet supplies. Together, our brands are dedicated to delivering exceptional science-backed, veterinarian approved products from quality suppliers, making it easier for families to address preventive and chronic health needs in order to support the longevity of their companion animals.

Over the years, our organization has made investments in our pharmacies to ensure regulatory compliance, accreditations, and operational excellence which include implementing a rigorous verification process from order to shipment to ensure top quality control. Employing licensed pharmacists and a 50-state licensed Pharmacist-in-Charge for each of our two pharmacy locations, allows us to provide focused and specialized care backed by expertise. We continuously monitor and update our regulatory licenses in every state, including the U.S. Virgin Islands. Our pharmacies are accredited by the NABP.Com and LegitScript and are focused on exceeding all federal and state regulatory requirements.This specialized expertise creates a defensible moat that is further supported by the nearly thirty years of pet health data, and partnerships with over 75,000 veterinarians.

As a core service to our customers, pet owners have the ability to contact our customer support agents and pharmacists at 1-800-petmeds for assistance with their animals' wellness needs via telephone, chat, and email. Additionally, we offer extended services, including telehealth, pet insurance, and employee benefits programs, through our core partners Dutch, Vetster, and Pet Synergy Group.

The Company's executive headquarters offices are currently located at 420 South Congress Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida 33445, and our telephone number is (561) 526-4444. The Company has a March 31 fiscal year.

**OUR INDUSTRY**

Our business focuses on a specific segment of the pet industry: pet health for dogs, cats, and horses. Within this segment, our merchandise categories include prescription medications, generic medications, over-the-counter (OTC) solutions, vitamins and supplements, prescription food, non-prescription food, and a comprehensive assortment of pet supplies including treats. The total addressable market for pet medications, foods, and health products and services is vast and continuously expanding. According to the American Pet Products Association, pet spending in the United States increased by 3% to $152 billion in 2024, with veterinary care and prescription medications accounting for $39.8 billion or 26% of that total. The increasing demand for pet wellness products presents significant potential for us to expand our footprint and capture a larger share of this thriving market through our private label programs.

**THE PET CONSUMER**

According to the April 2025 Cleveland Research Pet Retail and Animal Health Report:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Approximately 40% of consumers expect to significantly or slightly decrease their purchases due to anticipated tariffs and stock market volatility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The outlook across the pet landscape headed into 2025 shows muted pet household adoptions coupled with pricing pressure – overall resulting in pressured vet visits and spend at pet retail

Based on the items from the above report:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are executing a series of strategic initiatives that enhance customer experience, optimize operational efficiency, and leverage innovation to drive long-term shareholder value.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We believe that a high level of customer care and support is critical in retaining and expanding our customer base. Our goal is to create a concierge customer experience through modern technology that incorporates AI, automation, and product management that drives personalized journeys across all touchpoints.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To cater to a diverse range of budgets, we sell products at multiple price points and offer promotions to ensure that every customer can find products that meet their needs and preferences.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We offer auto-ship options for many of our products, ensuring convenient and consistent compliance for pets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Looking ahead, we are evolving from a digital-only model to a true omnichannel business offering consumers a range of products and services. That means meeting pet parents where they are, however they choose to shop.

More than 1.7 million customers have purchased from us within the last three fiscal years, including customers acquired in April 2023 as a part of our PetCareRx acquisition. We attracted approximately 351,000 and 457,000 new customers in fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our customers are located throughout the United States, with approximately 50% of customers residing in California, Florida, Texas, New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia. The average order value increased slightly year over year and was approximately $97 for fiscal 2025 and $94 for fiscal 2024.

**PRODUCTS AND SERVICES**

PetMeds offers a wide array of products and services dedicated to pet health and wellness. As a licensed online pharmacy, we provide medications for dogs, cats, and horses, ensuring that pets receive the necessary treatments prescribed by their veterinarians.

We address the most common conditions - allergies, arthritis, and anxiety and offer prescriptions for more chronic conditions such as heartworm, dermatitis, thyroid, diabetes, pain medications, heart/blood pressure, other specialty medications. A large percentage of our business is selling flea and tick preventatives through Rx, non-Rx, and OTC supplements and sprays. In addition, we stock a variety of OTC medications as alternatives to prescriptions that include bone and joint care products, vitamins, treats, nutritional supplements, hygiene products and other health-related supplies. PetMeds also offers the best-named brands in premium pet foods and treats including veterinary prescription Rx diets. Our exclusive range of private label products, including joint enhancers, vitachews, shampoos and flea and tick prevention offers exceptional value to our customers at a high margin. Our private label assortment is launching on Amazon in early FY2026 and is expected to launch across multi channels in the latter part of the fiscal year.

To obtain prescription medications, we have a three step process: customers place the order and provide their veterinarian's details, and PetMeds handles the entire end-to-end verification process before shipping. Additionally, PetMeds has veterinary pharmacists and technicians on staff to answer pet owners' medication-related questions, aiming to be a trusted resource for pet health needs.

**Pet Health Customer Care Specialists - Customer Contact Center**

We believe that a high level of customer care and support is critical in retaining and expanding our customer base. We provide our employees with ongoing training programs under the supervision of our training managers that include a variety of topics such as product knowledge, technology usage, customer service tips, and the relationship between our Company and veterinarians. Our customer contact center agents respond to customers' e-mails, calls, and live web chats that are related to products, order status, prices, and shipping. Having consolidated our two branded teams and incorporating a best-in-class technology provider, our customer care agents ensure that we can maximize our representatives' time, ensuring top-tier customer care, service, and support.

**Holistic Wellness Services:**

**Pet Telemedicine**: Since 2022, the Company has engaged in partnerships to provide telemedicine services, with the convenience of consultations, diagnoses and in certain states, prescriptions from board-certified veterinarians all from the comfort of their homes. In May 2025, we announced our strategic partnership with Dutch Pet, Inc. ("Dutch"), a virtual veterinary care provider, to expand our health services ecosystem with affordable, accessible pet healthcare options. This new partnership enables pet parents to leverage Dutch's convenient technology and veterinary team to secure prescriptions for PetMeds' broad selection of medications in a timely manner. Under the partnership, pet parents are able to sign up for a monthly Dutch membership and be connected virtually with veterinarians for 24/7 appointments in 34 states.

------

**Employee Pet Benefits**: We continue to develop partnerships that allow us to be part of employer bundled services, offering discounted pet care solutions that provide participating companies' employees with access to our membership programs through their respective company employee benefits offerings. These membership programs include a variety of exclusive PetPlus perks which includes discounts for more than 700,000 partners, and valuable telehealth, pet training, and delivery services that streamline educational content for pet parents

**OUR EXPERT VETERINARY ADVISORY BOARD**

To further our commitment to connecting with customers through education and professional credibility, the Company's Veterinary Advisory Board (VAB) provides insights to help ensure that all of our initiatives result in improved patient care. This esteemed board consisted of five expert veterinarians across the country throughout FY2025, with decades of experience in private practice and academia, helping shape the future of veterinary medicine.

**STRATEGY** 

The Company is committed to evolving from a leading digital-only model to a true omnichannel business, offering consumers a range of products and services. As part of this transformation, we are executing a series of strategic initiatives that expand into multi channels, the first of which is Amazon. We have added compound pharmacy partnerships, a key area of growth within the animal health industry, including top pharmacy Mixlab, which has five labs located across the country. We are also adding a global licensing agreement for non-consumable pet products set to launch in retail channels in early calendar year 2026. And lastly, we are introducing private label functional health products in the latter half of FY2026 - veterinary formulated and exclusive to PetMeds - into both DTC and wholesale channels enhancing margins, differentiating the company, and building brand loyalty At the same time, we are investing in modernizing our technology, including our e-commerce infrastructure and cloud environments, and in our customer experience, including speed to customer. We believe all of this will drive long-term shareholder value. Concurrently, we are balancing near-term business goals with purposeful investments that support customer acquisition and retention.

**DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS**

We market and sell our products and services through three primary distribution channels:

1E-commerce Websites – Through our owned and operated websites and mobile applications, including PetMeds.com and PetCareRx.com, we offer customers convenient and accessible platforms to purchase prescription and non-prescription pet medications, food, and wellness products.

Key features of our websites include AutoShip subscriptions (approximately 56.1% of our sales were generated via our AutoShip and membership program in our 4th quarter ended March 31, 2025), "ask-the-vet" services, VetLive consultations, live web chat, easy refill medication reminders, a local veterinarian finder, and express checkout options.

2Customer Contact Center – We operate a dedicated toll-free customer service center staffed by trained Pet Health Specialists who provide personalized support and assist with product inquiries, prescription processing, and order placement.

3PetAssure Broker Network – Through PetAssure, we also distribute products and wellness services via a brokered benefits model, primarily targeting employers offering pet health benefits as part of their employee wellness programs.

We are also currently investing in enhancements to our digital platforms to further personalize the customer journey, optimize navigation and conversion, and ensure a seamless omnichannel experience across web, mobile, and customer service touchpoints.

**Marketing and Lifecycle Engagement**

As part of our fiscal 2026 marketing strategy we intend to integrate our two brands (PetMeds and PetCareRX) into a customer-centric relevant brand which resonates with our mission and provides direct value to our customers. This

------

includes establishing and building brand recognition to increase customer website traffic, better align with current customer needs, deploy targeted segmentation strategies to reach the right audiences, scale effective campaigns, add new customers, and build strong lifetime customer loyalty that, ultimately, will increase reorders, and develop incremental revenue opportunities. Our 360 integrated marketing strategy includes digital, CRM and offline channels to market to our existing customers and attract new customers. Our campaigns strive to convey our dedicated focus on the well-being of pets and our commitment to accompanying our customers on their pet's wellness journey, which includes both preventative and chronic solutions for cats, dogs and horses across diverse breeds, sizes, ages and conditions.

Through social platforms like Instagram and Facebook, we educate and inspire our community with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Short-form videos on pet wellness

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Pet shelter and sporting events content

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Lighthearted and funny pet-related and relatable content.

Additionally, Pethealthmd.com, our blog and pet health library, serves as an SEO traffic hub, continuously updated with articles covering pet behavior, nutrition, pharmaceutical and natural remedies.

The Company aims to create a best-in-class marketing operation through a continuous test-and-learn approach as we progress into fiscal 2026. This will be visible across all customer touchpoints.

**OVERVIEW OF PHARMACY OPERATIONS**

Our pharmacists and pharmacy technicians oversee the processing of every order and follow a regimented 5-point verification process to ensure our customers receive an order that addresses their pet's needs. We request the following information to process prescription orders: pet information, prescription information, and the veterinarian's name and phone number. This information is entered into our order processing system, which checks for the verification for prescription medication orders and a valid payment method for all orders. Verified orders are then sent to our fulfillment centers, where items are picked, and then shipped via one of our several shipping carriers.

**SOURCING OF MERCHANDISE INVENTORY**

We source our inventory from a diverse array of vendors that specialize in prescription, food, and health and wellness-related products that include manufacturers and domestic distributors. Of the thousands of SKUs we offered our customers in fiscal 2025, approximately 81% of all products were purchased from six key suppliers. We believe that deepening our relationships with manufacturers and distributors is crucial to ensuring a reliable supply of the products our customers need, and we continue to rigorously attend to those vendor relationships.

As part of our growth strategy, we prioritize maintaining direct relationships with leading pharmaceutical manufacturers, providing both popular prescription and non-prescription medications. These direct relationships not only help us secure an adequate volume of products but also enable us to offer the latest and most trusted pet health solutions. Our continued partnerships with these major manufacturers are a testament to our commitment to quality and reliability in serving our customers.

**DISTRIBUTION OF MERCHANDISE INVENTORY**

We purchase all of our medication directly from the manufacturer or from FDA registered United States based distributors to ensure the authenticity and safety of all medications. We efficiently manage our inventory and fulfill customer orders from our corporate headquarters in Delray Beach, Florida, and our Northeast warehouse location in Lynbrook, New York while conducting thorough checks on every order received for veterinary approval and prescription labeling accuracy. Our in-house pharmacy, fulfillment and distribution operations oversee the entire supply chain—from order placement and processing to fulfillment and shipping. For prescription medications, we strive to ship immediately upon authorization by the customer's veterinarian.

**INFORMATION SYSTEMS**

We utilize a combination of Company-owned and third-party-operated information systems to support our core business functions. These integrated systems provide capabilities across retail operations, merchandising, human resources,

------

and financial reporting. Functional areas supported include digital commerce, inventory management, customer care, supply chain logistics, demand planning, sourcing, payroll, workforce scheduling, and general ledger management.

We continue to make strategic investments in modernizing and enhancing our technology infrastructure to improve operational efficiency, scalability, and support digital growth. These investments are designed to strengthen our pharmacy operations, fulfillment center capabilities, MarTech platforms, and loyalty and retention programs, while also enabling faster, data-driven decision making.

**DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS**

In fiscal 2026, our Company is focused on advancing the modernization of its digital technology infrastructure to drive operational excellence and support long-term growth. This includes continued upgrades across our e-commerce platforms, call centers, order management systems (OMS), pharmacy systems and fulfillment and inventory management capabilities.

Our digital transformation initiatives are aimed at simplifying and integrating business processes, enabling faster innovation, and enhancing system resilience. By unifying our digital ecosystem—including technology frameworks, tools, and talent—we are building a robust foundation to support seamless customer interactions across channels.

These ongoing technology investments will position us to adapt quickly to market demands, deliver personalized and efficient customer journeys, and maintain a high level of service reliability and responsiveness.

**COMPETITION**

We operate in a rapidly evolving, highly competitive, and fragmented business environment. Our competitors include veterinarians, local and national chain specialty retailers, and vendors' own e-commerce stores. Several large retailers have announced entrance into the pet pharmacy space this year. Additionally, consumers' discretionary spending on pets extends to categories like apparel, grooming, boarding, and dog-walking. Operating in a highly competitive industry environment can cause the Company to engage in greater than expected promotional activity at times, which would result in pressure on average unit retail pricing and gross profit.

Our distinct advantage lies in our 29 years of expertise, delivered through our team of highly qualified pharmacists and technicians with specialized training in veterinary pharmacology that are licensed across all fifty states. These teams execute a rigorous 5-point verification process and are compliant with all federal regulations set by the FDA and DEA. PetMeds and PetCareRx's pharmacies are accredited by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy and LegitScripts. In addition to our deeply experienced pharmacists and technicians, our Customer Care team is comprised of many longtime employees as well as new talent, all of whom share a passion for pets and who exemplify our commitment to delivering high-quality products and personalized service to our customers. This combination of quality, expertise, passion and efficiency sets us apart in the marketplace.

**INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY**

We conduct our business under the trade names "PetMeds" and "PetCareRx" and use a family of trade names all containing the terms "PetMeds", "PetMed" or "PetCareRx" in some form. We believe the "PetMeds" and "PetCareRx" family of trademarks, have added significant value and are important factors in the marketing of our products. We have also obtained the right to use and control the Internet addresses which include but are not limited to *<u>www.1800petmeds.com</u>, <u>www.1888petmeds.com</u>, <u>www.petmedexpress.com</u>*, *<u>www.petmed.com</u>*, *<u>www.petmeds.com</u>,* and *<u>www.petcarerx.com</u>.*

We also obtained the right to use and control the Internet addresses *<u>www.petmeds.pharmacy</u>, <u>www.petmed.pharmacy</u>, <u>www.1800petmeds.pharmacy</u>, <u>petcare.pharmacy</u>*, and *<u>petcarerx.pharmacy</u>*, through a National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® initiative to ensure high standards for online pharmacies. We do not expect to lose the ability to use the Internet addresses; however, there can be no assurance in this regard and the loss of these addresses may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. We are the exclusive owners of United States trademark registrations for "America's Largest Pet Pharmacy®," "America's Most Trusted Pet Pharmacy®," "Trusted Pet Medication Experts®," "PetMed Express, Inc.®,"1-800-PetMeds and Design®," 1-800-PetMeds®," "PetMeds®," "Your Trusted Pet Health Expert®," "PetPlus®," "PetCareRx®," "Nose to Tail®," "Nose to Tail Health®," and "Nose to Tail Savings®," among numerous others. We have also applied for trademark protection for "VetLive<sup>TM</sup>."

**GOVERNMENT REGULATION**

We are subject to a broad range of federal, state, and local laws and regulations that relate to our business. Dispensing prescription medications is governed at the state level by Boards of Pharmacy, or similar regulatory agencies, of each state where prescription medications are dispensed. PetMeds is subject to regulation by the State of Florida and is licensed as a community pharmacy by the Florida Board of Pharmacy, and PetCareRx is subject to regulation by the State of New York and is licensed as a community pharmacy by the New York Pharmacy Board.

Our pharmacy practices are also licensed and/or regulated by 48 other state pharmacy boards, the District of Columbia Board of Pharmacy, the U.S. Virgin Islands Board of Pharmacy, and the United States Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA"), and with respect to our products, by other regulatory authorities including, but not necessarily limited to, the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). Our registration with the DEA, and state registrations/permits as required, permit us to dispense Schedule IV and Schedule V controlled substances. As a licensed pharmacy in the State of Florida, we are subject to the Florida Pharmacy Act and regulations promulgated thereunder. If we fail to maintain our licenses with the Florida Board of Pharmacy, or if we do not maintain the licenses/registrations/permits from other state pharmacy boards (including our home state pharmacy license in New York for PetCareRx), or if we face actions from the DEA, FDA EPA, or other enforcement regulators, our ability to dispense prescription medications to pet owners could be halted, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.

In addition to the foregoing, the FDA regulates animal feed, including pet food, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the "FFDCA") and its implementing regulations. Although pet foods are not required to obtain premarket approval from the FDA, the FFDCA requires that all animal foods are safe for consumption, produced under sanitary conditions, contain no harmful substances, and are truthfully labeled. Most states also require that pet foods distributed in the state be registered or licensed with the appropriate state regulatory agency. In addition, most facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold foods, including pet foods, must register with the FDA and renew their registration every two years, and are subject to periodic FDA inspection. This includes most foreign, as well as domestic facilities. Registration must occur before the facility begins its pet food manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding operations.

The labeling of pet foods is regulated by both the FDA and some state regulatory authorities. FDA regulations require proper identification of the product, a net quantity statement, a statement of the name and place of business of the manufacturer or distributor, and proper listing of all the ingredients in order of predominance by weight. Most states also enforce their own labeling regulations. The degree of oversight of the implementation of these regulations varies by state, but typically includes a state review and approval of each product label as a condition of sale in that state. The FDA also regulates the inclusion of specific claims in pet food labeling. For example, pet food products that are labeled or marketed with claims that may suggest that they are intended to treat or prevent disease in pets would potentially meet the statutory definitions of both a food and a drug.

Our distribution of pet insurance products under our strategic partnerships also subjects us to state laws and regulations relating to the sale of insurance products, including registering as an insurance distributor in states in which we offer and sell co-branded pet insurance products and otherwise complying with state and federal laws relating to the sale and distribution of insurance products.

We rely on legal and operational compliance programs, as well as outside counsel, to guide our business in complying with applicable laws and regulations in the areas in which we do business. In addition, regulatory regime changes may add cost and complexity to our compliance efforts. It is difficult to predict with certainty the potential impact of future regulatory compliance efforts and future costs associated with such matters. Our failure to comply with such laws and regulations may result in adverse actions that could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our financial results.

**HUMAN CAPITAL**

The Company is committed to fostering a culture that not only advances strategic and key business priorities but also empowers employees to make a positive impact in their communities. We believe that attracting, retaining, and managing a diverse and talented workforce is crucial to our success and our workforce includes individuals of different ages, colors, disabilities, ethnicities, family or marital statuses, gender, or expressions, languages, national origins, physical and mental abilities, political affiliations, races, religions, sexual orientations, socio-economic statuses, veteran statuses, and other characteristics.

------

To ensure our employees have the opportunity to develop and excel, human capital management is a top priority for our executives and Board of Directors, as evidenced by the expansion of the Compensation Committee to the Compensation and Human Capital Committee. We are dedicated to identifying and nurturing the talent necessary for our long-term success. We are intentional about fostering a workplace where employees are encouraged to build their skills and explore opportunities for advancement. This includes access to a variety of resources to enhance their skills and advance their careers, including mentorship programs, individual development opportunities, and exposure to cross-functional projects that provide diverse experiences.

Additionally, we offer functional management training, educational opportunities, certification programs, and educational assistance to support our future leaders in their professional growth.

We pride ourselves on maintaining a strong corporate culture that upholds high standards of ethics and compliance. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics outlines the principles that guide the behavior of our employees, officers, directors, and vendors. To ensure adherence to these standards, we maintain a whistleblower policy and an anonymous hotline for confidential reporting of any suspected policy violations or unethical conduct. Furthermore, all staff members are required to complete anti-harassment training.

By fostering a supportive and inclusive environment, we empower our employees to thrive both professionally and personally, driving our company forward and making a meaningful impact in our communities.

As of September 30, 2025, we had 173 full-time employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or governed by any collective bargaining agreements. We consider relations with our employees to be good. The majority of our employees are connected to our Delray Beach, Florida headquarters and distribution center. Many of our personnel are currently working remotely or in a hybrid work model with the exception of essential on-site workers.

We offer our employees a wide array and highly competitive benefits such as life and health (medical, dental, and vision) insurance, medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts, supplemental insurance coverage, pet insurance, parking and commuter benefits, legal services provider network, paid time off (including gender neutral parental leave) and retirement benefits, as well as emotional well-being services through our health insurance program.

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS**

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described below, that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and the trading price of our common stock. Because of the following factors, as well as other factors affecting the Company's results of operations and financial condition, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. This discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. This section should be read in conjunction with Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**<u>Regulatory Risks</u>**

*Any failure to comply with various state or federal regulations covering our pet health business, including the dispensing of prescription pet medications may subject us to reprimands, sanctions, probations, fines, suspensions, or the loss of one or more of our pharmacy licenses*.

------

Our pet health business, which includes the sale and delivery of prescription pet medications is generally governed by state laws and state regulations, and with respect to controlled substances, also by federal law. Governmental authorities that regulate our business have broad latitude to make, interpret, and enforce the laws and regulations that govern us. Since our pharmacy is located in the State of Florida, the Company is governed by the laws and regulations of the State of Florida. Each prescription pet medication sale we make is likely also to be covered by the laws of the state where the customer is located. The laws and regulations relating to the sale and delivery of prescription pet medications vary from state to state, but generally require that prescription pet medications be dispensed with the authorization from a prescribing veterinarian. Our current home-state license with the Florida Board of Pharmacy is valid until February 28, 2027, and PetCareRx's home-state license in the State of New York is valid until April 30, 2028, however, there is no guarantee that we will be able to renew such licenses when required. To the extent that we are unable to maintain our license as a community pharmacy with the Florida Board of Pharmacy (and to the extent we are unable to maintain PetCareRx's license in New York), or if we do not maintain the licenses granted by other state boards, or if we become subject to actions by the FDA, or other enforcement regulators, our dispensing of prescription medications to pet owners could cease, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

The expansion of our business into the offer and sale of pet insurance products also subjects us to additional laws and regulations regarding those activities, including as a registered insurance distributor in states in which we offer and sell co-branded pet insurance products and otherwise complying with state and federal laws relating to the sale and distribution of insurance products.

The Company is a party to routine litigation and administrative complaints incidental to its business. Management does not believe that the resolution of any or all of such routine litigation and administrative complaints is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. While we make every effort to fully comply with all applicable state rules, laws, and regulations, from time to time we have been the subject of administrative complaints regarding the authorization of prescriptions prior to shipment. We cannot assure you that we will not be the subject of administrative complaints in the future. We cannot guarantee you that we will not be subject to reprimands, sanctions, probations, or fines, or that one or more of our pharmacy licenses will not be suspended or revoked. If we were unable to maintain our license as a community pharmacy in the States of Florida or New York, or if we are not granted licensure in a state that begins to require licensure, or if one or more of the licenses granted by other state boards should be suspended or revoked, our ability to continue to sell prescription medications and to continue our business as it is presently conducted could be in jeopardy.

**<u>Business Risks</u>**

*Our failure to properly manage our inventory may result in excessive inventory carrying costs, or inadequate supply of products, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.*

Our current product line contains approximately 10,000 SKUs including the SKUs acquired in our acquisition of PetCareRx. A significant portion of PetMeds sales is attributable to products representing approximately 100 SKUs, including the most popular flea and tick, and heartworm preventative brands. We need to properly manage our inventory to provide an adequate supply of these products and avoid excessive inventory of the products representing the balance of the SKUs. We generally place orders for products with our suppliers based upon our internal estimates of the amounts of inventory we will need to fill future orders. These estimates may be significantly different from the actual orders we receive.

In the event that subsequent orders fall short of original estimates, we may be left with excess inventory. Significant excess inventory could result in price discounts, increased inventory carrying costs, and obsolescence. Similarly, if we fail to have an adequate supply of some SKUs, we may lose sales opportunities. We cannot guarantee that we will maintain appropriate inventory levels. Any failure on our part to maintain appropriate inventory levels may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

*Resistance from veterinarians to authorize prescriptions, or attempts or efforts by veterinarians to discourage pet owners from purchasing from us could cause our sales to decrease and could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.* 

Since we began our operations, some veterinarians have resisted providing our customers with a copy of their pet's prescription or authorizing the prescription to our pharmacy staff, thereby effectively preventing us from filling such prescriptions under state law. We have also been informed by customers and consumers that veterinarians have tried to discourage pet owners from purchasing from internet mail-order pharmacies.

------

The laws and regulations relating to the sale and delivery of prescription pet medications vary from state to state. Although veterinarians in some states are required by law to provide a pet owner with a prescription if medically appropriate, if the number of veterinarians who refuse to authorize prescriptions should increase, or if veterinarians are successful in discouraging pet owners from purchasing from internet mail-order pharmacies, our sales could decrease, and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

*Significant portions of our sales are made to residents of eight states. If we should lose our pharmacy license in one or more of these states, our financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.*

While we ship pet medications to customers in all 50 states, approximately 50% of our sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, were made to customers located in the states of Florida, California, Texas, New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia and Georgia. If for any reason our license to operate a pharmacy in one or more of those states should be suspended or revoked, or if it is not renewed, our ability to sell prescription medications to residents of those states would cease and our financial condition and results of operations in future periods would be materially adversely affected.

*We have direct buying relationships with all the major pet medication manufacturers and each contractual relationship depends on our compliance with each respective manufacturer's minimum advertised pricing policies (MAPP).* 

The Company maintains direct purchasing relationships with all the major pet medication manufacturers. These relationships entitle the Company to buy directly from the manufacturer under the terms and conditions of a purchasing agreement which dictates purchase pricing of inventory and criteria to obtain additional discounts and rebates. The terms of these agreements also require the Company to comply with the manufacturers' MAPP. Each advertisement and/or promotion of a product below the MAPP price, should they occur, would be a violation of the policy. This policy applies to all advertisements of products in all media including, without limitation, flyers, posters, coupons, mailers, inserts, newspapers, magazines, on-line catalogs, mail order catalogs, public signage and all Internet or similar electronic media, television, radio and public signage, including websites, email newsletters, forums, and auction sites.

At the discretion of the manufacturers, non-compliance with the MAPP can result in one or more of the following actions: (1) forfeiture of future rebates or discounts from the manufacturer, (2) suspension of future purchases from the manufacturer, (3) or termination of current or future business relationship. The Company has and will continue to make every attempt to abide by the manufacturers MAPP. However, no assurances can be made that the Company will not violate MAPP inadvertently. A reduction or discontinuance of these rebates or discounts would increase our costs and could reduce our profitability. If any of these major pet medication manufacturers were to terminate our purchasing relationship it could materially adversely affect our business. If the manufacturers are not able to enforce their MAPP industry-wide, then our profit margins and results of operations may also be impacted negatively.

*The loss of any of our key suppliers would negatively impact our business.* 

We have direct purchasing relationships with all of the major pet medication manufacturers, from the majority of which we purchase significant quantities of pet medication products.. We do maintain annual purchasing contracts with these major manufacturers. While we believe that our supplier relationships are good, a supplier could discontinue selling to us at any time, or stop paying cooperative fees to us at any time . The loss of any of our key suppliers of pet medications offered by us, or the loss of vendor cooperative payments, would have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

*Shipping is a critical part of our business and any changes in, or disruptions to, our shipping arrangements could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.*

We currently rely on third-party national, regional, and local logistics providers to deliver the products we offer on our websites. If we are not able to negotiate acceptable pricing and other terms with these providers, or if these providers experience performance problems or other difficulties in processing our orders or delivering our products to customers, it could negatively impact our results of operations and our customers' experience. In addition, our ability to receive inbound inventory efficiently and ship merchandise to customers may be negatively affected by factors beyond our and these providers' control, including inclement weather, fire, flood, power loss, earthquakes, acts of war or terrorism or other events, such as labor shortages and disputes, financial difficulties, volatility in the prices of fuel, gasoline and commodities

------

such as paper and packing supplies, system failures and other disruptions to the operations of the shipping companies on which we rely. We are also subject to risks of damage or loss during delivery by our shipping vendors. If the products ordered by our customers are not delivered in a timely fashion or are damaged or lost during the delivery process, our customers could become dissatisfied and cease buying products through our websites and mobile application, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

*The quality of our customer service and support is important to our customers, and if we fail to provide adequate levels of customer service and support, we could lose customers, which would harm our business.*

We believe that a high level of customer care and support is critical in retaining and expanding our customer base. Although our customer care representatives participate in ongoing training programs on a variety of topics, such as product knowledge, computer usage, customer service tips, and the relationship between our Company and veterinarians, any perceived or actual decline in our customer-service response times or in the quality of our customer care representatives, even if episodic or temporary, could hurt our business. If customers perceive that our customer care and support does not compare favorably to our competitors, then we may lose customers to such competitors.

*The content of our websites could expose us to various kinds of liability, which, if prosecuted successfully, could negatively impact our business.*

Because we post product and pet health information and other content on our websites, we face potential liability for negligence, copyright infringement, patent infringement, trademark infringement, defamation, and/or other claims based on the nature and content of the materials we post. Various claims have been brought, and sometimes successfully prosecuted, against Internet content distributors. We could be exposed to liability with respect to the unauthorized duplication of content or unauthorized use of other parties' proprietary technology. Although we maintain general liability insurance, our insurance may not cover potential claims of this type or may not be adequate to indemnify us for all liability that may be imposed. Any imposition of liability that is not covered by insurance, or is in excess of insurance coverage, could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

*We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights, and/or we may be found to infringe on the proprietary rights of others.*

We rely on a combination of trademarks, trade secrets, copyright laws, and contractual restrictions to protect our intellectual property rights. These afford only limited protection. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy our proprietary property, including our non-prescription private label or generic equivalents, when and if developed, as well as aspects of our sales formats, or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary, including the technology used to operate our websites and our content, and our trademarks. Litigation or proceedings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office or other bodies may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets and domain names, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any litigation or adverse proceeding could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could seriously harm our business and operating results. Third parties may also claim infringement by us with respect to past, current, or future technologies or intellectual property. We expect that participants in our market will be increasingly involved in infringement claims as the number of services and competitors in our industry segment grows. Any claim, whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause service upgrade delays, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. These royalty or licensing agreements might not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.

*If we are unable to protect our Internet addresses or to prevent others from using Internet addresses that are confusingly similar, our business may be adversely impacted.*

Our Internet addresses, including; *<u>www.1800petmeds.com</u>, <u>www.1888petmeds.com</u>, <u>www.petmedexpress.com</u>*, *<u>www.petmed.com</u>*, *<u>www.petmeds.com</u>, <u>www.petmeds.pharmacy</u>, <u>www.petmed.pharmacy</u>, <u>www.1800petmeds.pharmacy</u>*<u>,</u> and *<u>petcarerx.com</u>*, are critical to our brand recognition and our overall success. If we are unable to protect these Internet addresses, our competitors could capitalize on our brand recognition. There may be similar Internet addresses used by competitors. Governmental agencies and their designees generally regulate the acquisition and maintenance of Internet addresses. The regulation of Internet addresses in the United States and in foreign countries has changed and may undergo further change in the near future. Furthermore, the relationship between regulations governing Internet addresses and laws protecting trademarks and similar proprietary rights is unclear. Therefore, we may not be able to protect our own Internet

------

addresses or prevent third parties from acquiring Internet addresses that are confusingly similar to, infringe upon, or otherwise decrease the value of our Internet addresses.

*Since most of our operations are housed in a single location, we are more susceptible to a business interruption in the event of damage to, or disruptions in, our facility, particularly with respect to extreme weather events*.

The PetMeds headquarters and principal distribution center are currently located in one location in South Florida, and most of our shipments of products to our customers are made from this primary distribution center. Our PetcareRx principal distribution center is located in one location in New York. Because we consolidate our operations for each brand in one location, we are more susceptible to power and equipment failures, and business interruptions in the event of fires, floods, and other natural disasters than if we had additional locations. Furthermore, because our largest distribution center is located in South Florida, which is a hurricane-sensitive area and is susceptible to sea-level rise, we are particularly susceptible to the risk of damage to, or total destruction of, our headquarters and distribution center and surrounding transportation infrastructure caused by a hurricane or rising sea levels. Additionally, intense weather conditions may cause property insurance premiums to significantly increase in the future. We recognize that the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and other climatic changes may continue to increase and, as a result, our exposure to these events may increase.

We cannot assure you that we are adequately insured to cover the amount of any losses relating to any of these potential events, including business interruptions resulting from damage to or destruction of our headquarters and distribution centers, or power and equipment failures relating to our call center or websites, or interruptions or disruptions to major transportation infrastructure, or other events that do not occur on our premises. The occurrence of one or more of these events could adversely impact our ability to generate revenues in future periods.

*A failure or misuse of our information systems and customer-facing technology systems, including our online payment methods, could adversely affect our results of operations, expose us to third-party claims, or increase our exposure to fraud and other risks.*

Our business is dependent upon the efficient operation of our information systems. In particular, we rely on our information systems to effectively manage our business model strategy, with tools to track and manage sales, inventory, marketing, customer service efforts, the preparation of our consolidated financial and operating data, credit card information, and customer information. The failure of our information systems to perform as designed or the failure to maintain and enhance or protect the integrity of these systems could disrupt our business operations, adversely impact sales and the results of operations, expose us to customer or third-party claims, or result in adverse publicity.

Through our information technology, we are able to provide an improved overall shopping and interconnected retail experience that empowers our customers to shop and interact with us from computers, tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices. We use our websites and our mobile application both as sales channels for our products and also as methods of providing product and other relevant information to our customers to drive online sales. Our online programs, communities and knowledge center allow us to inform, assist and interact with our customers. We also continually seek to enhance all of our online properties to provide an attractive user-friendly interface for our customers. Disruptions, failures or other performance issues with these customer-facing technology systems could impair the benefits that they provide to our online business and negatively affect our relationship with our customers.

Further, we currently accept payments using a variety of different payment methods which may subject us to additional regulations and compliance requirements, and may also increase our exposure to fraud, criminal activity, and other risks. In the future, as technology develops and we begin to offer new payment options to consumers, including by integrating emerging mobile and other payment methods, we may be subject to additional regulations, compliance requirements, or fraud. If we fail to comply with the rules or requirements of any provider of a payment method we accept, if the volume of fraud in our transactions limits or terminates our rights to use payment methods we currently accept, or if a data breach occurs relating to our payment systems, we may, among other things, be subject to fines or higher transaction fees and may lose, or face restrictions placed upon, our ability to accept credit card payments from consumers or facilitate other types of online payments. If any of these events were to occur, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

*Our failure or the failure of third-party service providers to protect our websites, networks, and systems against cybersecurity incidents, or otherwise to protect our confidential information, could damage our reputation and brands and substantially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.*

------

As a result of our services being web based, we collect, process, transmit and store large amounts of data about our customers, employees, suppliers and others, including credit card information and personally identifiable information, as well as other confidential and proprietary information. We also employ third-party service providers for a variety of reasons, including storing, processing and transmitting proprietary, personal and confidential information on our behalf. While we rely on tokenization solutions licensed from third parties in an effort to securely transmit confidential and sensitive information, including credit card numbers, advances in computer capabilities, new technological discoveries or other developments may result in the whole or partial failure of these solutions to protect confidential and sensitive information from being breached or compromised. Similarly, our security measures, and those of our third-party service providers, may not detect or prevent all attempts to hack our systems or those of our third-party service providers. Distributed Denial-of-Service ("DDoS") attacks, viruses, malicious software, break-ins, phishing attacks, ransomware, social engineering, security breaches or other cybersecurity incidents and similar disruptions that may jeopardize the security of information stored in or transmitted by our websites, networks and systems or that we or our third-party service providers otherwise maintain, including payment card systems, may subject us to fines or higher transaction fees or limit or terminate our access to certain payment methods. We and our service providers may not anticipate or prevent all types of attacks until after they have already been launched, and techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to or sabotage systems change frequently and may not be known until launched against us or our third-party service providers. In addition, cybersecurity incidents can also occur as a result of non-technical issues, including intentional or inadvertent breaches by our employees or by persons with whom we have commercial relationships.

Breaches of our security measures or those of our third-party service providers or any cybersecurity incident could result in unauthorized access to our websites, networks and systems; unauthorized access to and misappropriation of consumer and/or employee information, including personally identifiable information, or other confidential or proprietary information of ourselves or third parties; viruses, worms, spyware or other malware being served from our websites, networks or systems; deletion or modification of content or the display of unauthorized content on our websites; interruption, disruption or malfunction of operations; costs relating to cybersecurity incident remediation, deployment of additional personnel and protection technologies, response to governmental investigations and media inquiries and coverage; engagement of third party experts and consultants; litigation, regulatory action and other potential liabilities. If any of these cybersecurity incidents occur, or there is a public perception that we, or our third-party service providers, have suffered such a breach, or we are unable to determine materiality within a reasonable timeframe under the new Cybersecurity rules, our reputation and brands could also be damaged and we could be required to expend significant capital and other resources to alleviate problems caused by such cybersecurity incidents. As a consequence, our business could be materially and adversely affected and we could also be exposed to litigation and regulatory action and possible liability. In addition, any party who is able to illicitly obtain a customer's password could access the customer's transaction data or personal information. Any compromise or breach of our security measures, or those of our third-party service providers, or our failure to protect our customer's confidential information and data, could violate applicable privacy, data security and other laws, and cause significant legal and financial exposure, adverse publicity and a loss of confidence in our security measures, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The costs of mitigating cybersecurity risks are significant and are likely to increase in the future. These costs include, but are not limited to, retaining the services of cybersecurity providers; compliance costs arising out of existing and future cybersecurity, data protection and privacy laws and regulations; and costs related to maintaining redundant networks, data backups and other damage-mitigation measures. We currently carry cyber insurance, which may mitigate certain potential losses.

*Our migration of data and systems to a new information technology platform may disrupt our operations.*

As an established web-based seller of pet products, we rely on a combination of legacy public-facing websites, internal applications and services, and back-end business intelligence systems. We are in the process of migrating and upgrading many of our platforms and applications to more modular, web-based and SaaS systems. If we are not able to realize the anticipated benefits of our migration to this new infrastructure, our business could be harmed. There may be unforeseen issues as a result of these migrations that may cause disruptions to the availability of our products due to service outages, downtime or other similar issues that could harm our business. We also may be subject to additional risk of cybersecurity breaches or other improper access to our data or confidential information following our migration to these new computing platforms. In addition, our new platforms may operate differently than anticipated when introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. As we increase our reliance on our systems, our exposure to damage from service

------

interruptions may increase. Further, our transition could involve significant time and expense and could negatively impact our ability to deliver our products and services, which could harm our financial condition and results of operations.

*Our marketing, e-commerce, and other business activities are subject to a variety of federal and state laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection, marketing and advertising and consumer protection, many of which may evolve or expand beyond their current scope, and our failure to comply with this complex set of evolving laws and regulations could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.*

We collect, maintain, use, and share personal information provided to us through our various marketing activities, including email and social media marketing and postal mailings, as well as other consumer, employee, and business-to-business interactions, in order to provide a better experience for our customers, employees, and vendors. Our current and future marketing and advertising practices depend on our ability to collect, maintain, use, and share this personal information with certain service providers and other third-party vendors, and we are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations that govern such marketing and advertising practices. In addition, we also collect, store, and transmit employees' health information for certain reasons, such as administering employee benefits; accommodating disabilities and injuries; complying with public health requirements; and maintaining employee safety in the workplace.

Laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, marketing and advertising, and consumer protection are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations. While we strive to comply with all such regulations and believe that we are good stewards of our customers' data, this area is rapidly evolving, and it is possible that these requirements may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another or may conflict with other rules or our practices. If so, we may be subject to proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others, and we may suffer damage to our reputation as a result of such proceedings or actions. We may also be contractually required to indemnify and hold harmless third parties from the costs or consequences of non-compliance with any laws, regulations or other legal obligations relating to privacy, data protection, cybersecurity or consumer protection or any inadvertent or unauthorized use or disclosure of data that we store or handle as part of operating our business.

Federal and state governmental authorities continue to evaluate the privacy implications inherent in the use of third-party "cookies" and other methods of online tracking for behavioral advertising and other purposes. The U.S. government and state governments have enacted, have considered or are considering enacting, legislation or regulations that could significantly restrict the ability of companies and individuals to engage in these activities, such as by regulating the level of consumer notice and consent required before a company can employ cookies or other electronic tracking tools or the use of data gathered with such tools. Additionally, some providers of consumer devices and web browsers have implemented, or announced plans to implement, means to make it easier for Internet users to prevent the placement of cookies or to block other tracking technologies, which could result in the use of third-party cookies and other methods of online tracking becoming significantly less effective. The regulation of the use of these cookies and other current online tracking and advertising practices or a loss in our ability to make effective use of services that employ such technologies could increase our costs of operations and limit our ability to acquire new customers on cost-effective terms and consequently, materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, various federal and state legislative and regulatory bodies, or self-regulatory organizations, may expand current laws or regulations, enact new laws or regulations or issue revised rules or guidance regarding privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, consumer protection, and advertising. For example, in June 2018, the State of California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the "CCPA"), which became effective on January 1, 2020. The CCPA requires companies that process information of California residents to make new disclosures to consumers about their data collection, use and sharing practices, and allows consumers to opt out of selling their data to third parties and provides a new cause of action for data breaches. Further, on November 3, 2020, the California Privacy Rights Act (the "CPRA") was voted into law by California residents. The CPRA significantly amends the CCPA, and imposes additional data protection obligations on companies doing business in California, including additional consumer rights processes and opt outs for certain uses of sensitive data. It also creates a new California data protection agency specifically tasked to enforce the law, which could result in increased regulatory scrutiny of businesses conducting activities in California in the areas of data protection and security. The substantive requirements for businesses subject to the CPRA went into effect on January 1, 2023, and will be enforced effective from July 1, 2023. Other states in which we operate have also enacted laws similar to CPRA and similar laws have been proposed in other states and at the federal level, and if passed, such laws may have potentially conflicting requirements that would make compliance challenging. Additionally, the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") and many state attorneys general are interpreting federal and state consumer protection laws to impose

------

standards for the online collection, use, dissemination and security of data. Consumer protection laws require us to publish statements that describe how we handle personal data and choices individuals may have about the way we handle their personal data. If such information that we publish is considered untrue, we may be subject to government claims of unfair or deceptive trade practices, which could lead to significant liabilities and consequences. Further, according to the FTC, violating consumers' privacy rights or failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers' personal data secure may constitute unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act. Each of these privacy, security, and data protection laws and regulations, and any other such changes or new laws or regulations, could impose significant limitations, require changes to our business, impose fines and other penalties or restrict our use or storage of personal information, which may increase our compliance expenses and make our business more costly or less efficient to conduct. Any such changes could compromise our ability to develop an adequate marketing strategy and pursue our growth strategy effectively, which, in turn, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

*We face the risk of litigation resulting from unauthorized text messages sent in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.*

We send short message service, or SMS, text messages to customers and job candidates. The actual or perceived improper sending of text messages may subject us to potential risks, including liabilities or claims relating to consumer protection laws. For example, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, a federal statute that protects consumers from unwanted telephone calls, faxes, and text messages, restricts telemarketing and the use of automated SMS text messages without proper consent. Numerous class-action suits under federal and state laws have been filed in recent years against companies who conduct SMS texting programs, with many resulting in multi-million-dollar settlements to the plaintiffs. Federal or state regulatory authorities or private litigants may claim that the notices and disclosures we provide, form of consents we obtain, or our SMS texting practices are not adequate or violate applicable law, resulting in civil claims against us. While we strive to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, the scope and interpretation of the laws that are or may be applicable to the delivery of text messages are continuously evolving and developing. If we do not comply with these laws or regulations or if we become liable under these laws or regulations, we could face direct liability, could be required to change some portions of our business model, or could face negative publicity, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected as a result. Even an unsuccessful challenge of our SMS texting practices by our customers, regulatory authorities, or other third parties could result in negative publicity and could require a costly response from and defense by us.

*Our operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate, and a portion of our sales are seasonal.*

Factors that may cause our operating results to fluctuate include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our ability to obtain new customers at a reasonable cost, retain existing customers, or encourage reorders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our ability to increase the number of visitors to our websites, or our ability to convert visitors to our websites into customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The mix of medications and other pet products sold by us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our ability to manage inventory levels or obtain an adequate supply of products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our ability to adequately maintain, upgrade, and develop our websites, the systems that we use to process customers' orders and payments, or our computer network;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increased competition within our market niche;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Price competition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• New products introduced to the market, including generics;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increases in the cost of advertising;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our product line or operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Potential disruption to the distribution network;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Disruption of our toll-free telephone service, technical difficulties, or systems and Internet outages or slowdowns;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The impact of further outbreaks of COVID-19, and any future similar outbreak, on our business operations and generally on the economy, including the measures taken by governmental authorities to address it;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Unfavorable general economic trends; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tariffs

------

Our annual and quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, including weather, many of which are out of our control. Any change in one or more of these factors could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations in future periods.

*Uncertainties in economic conditions and their impact on consumer spending patterns could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.*

Our results of operations are sensitive to changes in certain macro-economic conditions that impact consumer spending on pet products and services. Some of the factors that may affect consumer spending on pet products and services include consumer confidence, levels of unemployment, inflation, interest rates, tax rates and general uncertainty regarding the overall future economic environment. We may experience declines in sales or changes in the types of products sold during economic downturns. Any material decline in the amount of consumer spending or other adverse economic changes could reduce our sales, and a decrease in the sales of higher-margin products could reduce profitability and, in each case, harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

*We have grown, and continue to seek to grow our business through acquisitions of, or investments in, new or complementary businesses, facilities, technologies, offerings, or products, or through strategic alliances, and the failure to manage these acquisitions, investments, or other strategic alliances, or to integrate them with our existing business, could have a material adverse effect on us.*

During the past two years, we acquired one company (PetCareRx) and entered into a strategic partnership to enable us to offer telehealth services to our customers. We expect that we may in the future consider additional opportunities to acquire or make investments in new or complementary businesses, facilities, technologies, offerings, or products, or enter into other strategic alliances, which may enhance our capabilities, complement our current products and services or expand the breadth of our markets. Acquisitions, investments and other strategic alliances, involve numerous risks, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• problems integrating the acquired business, facilities, technologies or products, including issues maintaining uniform standards, procedures, controls and policies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unanticipated costs associated with acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• losses we may incur as a result of declines in the value of an investment or as a result of incorporating an investee's financial performance into our financial results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• diversion of management's attention from our existing business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risks associated with entering new markets in which we may have limited or no experience;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risks associated with businesses we acquire or invest in, which may differ from or be more significant than the risks our other businesses face;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential unknown liabilities associated with a business we acquire or in which we invest; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased legal and accounting compliance costs.

Our ability to successfully grow through strategic transactions depends upon our ability to identify, negotiate, complete and integrate suitable target businesses, facilities, technologies, products and services. These efforts could be expensive and time-consuming and may disrupt our ongoing business and prevent management from focusing on our operations. Also, our acquisitions may not result in the benefits or growth originally anticipated from such acquisitions. As a result of future strategic transactions, we might need to issue additional equity securities, spend our cash, or incur debt (which may only be available on unfavorable terms, if at all) or contingent liabilities, any of which could reduce our profitability and harm our business. If we are unable to identify suitable acquisitions, investments or strategic relationships, or if we are unable to integrate any acquired businesses, facilities, technologies, offerings and products effectively, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Also, while we employ several different methodologies to assess potential business opportunities, the new businesses or investments may not meet or exceed our expectations or desired objectives in the timeframe expected.

*The market for pet telemedicine is immature and uncertain. If the telemedicine market does not develop, develops more slowly than we expect, or encounters negative publicity, or if our approach does not achieve a high level of customer acceptance, the growth and results of our partnership with Vetster may be adversely affected which could result in an impairment of our investment.*

It is uncertain whether the telemedicine market and our approach to pet telehealth with our partners in that industry will achieve and sustain high levels of demand, consumer acceptance and market adoption. The COVID-19 pandemic

------

increased acceptance and utilization of telemedicine services, but it is uncertain whether such increase in demand will continue.

Demand for pet telemedicine and telehealth services is affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. Some of these potential factors include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• market adoption and ongoing usage of pet telehealth and telemedicine services and solutions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• awareness and adoption of technology in healthcare generally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• availability of products and services that compete with ours;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ability to maintain and expand a network of qualified providers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ease of adoption and use;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• features and platform experience;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• performance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• brand;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• security and privacy; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pricing.

Our success will depend to a substantial extent on the willingness of our customers to use, and to increase the frequency and extent of their utilization of, our solution being offered in conjunction with our telehealth partners as well as on our ability to demonstrate the value of pet telehealth and telemedicine to veterinarians and pet owners. Negative publicity concerning the pet telehealth and telemedicine market could limit market acceptance of our solutions and services.

*Evolving foreign trade policy by the United States or other countries or the imposition of tariffs on imported goods may affect our business.*

Some of the products that we offer are purchased from vendors located outside of the United States and other vendors that we purchase from depend on other vendors located outside of the United States. These threatened or imposed tariffs and any retaliatory actions taken by other countries could result in us incurring additional costs to procure some of the merchandise we offer and may require us to raise prices on certain products. While the scope and duration of any current or future tariffs remain uncertain, tariffs imposed by the U.S. or other governments could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.

**<u>Financial Risks</u>**

*We are subject to payment-related risks that could increase our operating costs, expose us to fraud or theft, subject us to potential liability and potentially disrupt our business.* 

We accept payments using a variety of methods, including credit and debit cards, PayPal and Apple Pay, and we may offer new payment options over time. Acceptance of these payment options subjects us to rules, regulations, contractual obligations and compliance requirements, including payment network rules and operating guidelines, data security standards and certification requirements, and rules governing electronic funds transfers. These requirements may change over time or be reinterpreted, making compliance more difficult or costly. For certain payment methods, including credit and debit cards, we pay interchange and other fees, which may increase over time and raise our operating costs.

We rely on third parties to provide payment processing services, including the processing of credit cards, debit cards, and other forms of electronic payment. If these companies become unable to provide these services to us, or if their systems are compromised, it could potentially disrupt our business. The payment methods that we offer also subject us to potential fraud and theft by criminals, who are becoming increasingly more sophisticated, seeking to obtain unauthorized access to or exploit weaknesses that may exist in the payment systems. If we fail to comply with applicable rules or requirements for the payment methods we accept, or if payment-related data is compromised due to a breach or misuse of data, we may be liable for costs incurred by payment card issuing banks and other third parties or subject to fines and higher transaction fees, or our ability to accept or facilitate certain types of payments may be impaired. As a result, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

*We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, and management has determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on* 

------

*Form 10-K. Our business and share price may be adversely affected if we fail to implement and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.*

For the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, our management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness identified in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025, as well as our remediation plans, are described in Part II, Item 9A, "Controls and Procedures." While we believe these efforts will be sufficient to remediate the material weakness, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to complete our evaluation, testing or any required remediation in a timely fashion, or at all. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the possibility of human error and the risk of fraud. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements in our financial statements due to error or fraud may occur and require restatement, such as those errors that resulted in the restatement of our previously issued audited consolidated financial statements described in this Comprehensive Form 10-K, Amendment No.1 on Form 10-K/A to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023 (the "2023 Form 10-K/A"), and the restatement of our previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements described in Amendment No.1 on Form 10-Q/A to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 (the "2024 Q1 Form 10-Q/A") and Amendment No.1 on Form 10-Q/A to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 (the "2024 Q2 Form 10-Q/A", and together with the 2024 Q1 Form 10-Q/A and 2023 Form 10-K/A, the "Amended Reports") as well as fiscal 2023 amounts restated in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023.

The material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until the controls operate for a sufficient period and management has concluded through testing that these controls operate effectively. If we are unable to remediate the material weaknesses or identify additional material weakness in the future, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results, which could cause our financial results to be materially misstated and require restatement. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could also result in litigation or regulatory actions by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, loss of investor confidence, harm to our reputation and financial condition, diversion of financial and management resources from the operation of our business, and the market price of our common stock may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the remediation measures we have taken to date, or any measures that we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid future material weaknesses.

*We may face litigation and other risks as a result of the restatements described in this Comprehensive Form 10-K and the Amended Reports and material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.*

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, including in connection with the restatements described in this Comprehensive Form 10-K and the Amended Reports. As a result of such material weaknesses and the restatement, we could face regulatory action by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, potential litigation, or other disputes, including claims invoking federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the restatement and the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

**<u>Risks Relating to Taxes</u>**

*Taxing authorities may successfully assert that we should have collected, or in the future should collect, sales and use, value added, or similar taxes, and any such assessments could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.*

In the past several years, states have adopted laws that attempt to impose tax collection obligations on out-of-state companies. In 2018, the Supreme Court of the United States ("Supreme Court") ruled in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. et al, or Wayfair, that online sellers can be required to collect sales and use tax despite not having a physical presence in the buyer's state. In response to Wayfair, or otherwise, states or local governments may adopt, or begin to enforce, laws

------

requiring us to register, calculate, collect, and remit taxes on sales in their jurisdictions. Additionally, states and some local tax jurisdictions have differing rules and regulations governing sales and use taxes, which are subject to varying interpretations that may change over time.

One or more taxing authorities could seek to impose additional sales and use, value added, or similar taxes on us or may determine that such taxes should have, but have not been, paid by us. Any successful action by taxing authorities to compel us to collect and remit such taxes, either retroactively or prospectively, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The imposition by state governments or local governments of sales tax collection obligations on out-of-state sellers could also create additional administrative burdens for us, put us at a competitive disadvantage if they do not impose similar obligations on our competitors, and decrease our future sales, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

While we believe that we currently collect and remit applicable sales taxes to the extent required in all states in which we sell, a successful assertion by one or more states seeking to tax us on sales that occurred in prior tax years, or to collect more taxes in a jurisdiction in which we currently do collect some taxes, could result in substantial tax liabilities, including taxes on past sales, as well as penalties and interest.

New legislation or regulations, the application of laws and regulations from jurisdictions, or the application of existing laws and regulations to the Internet and commercial online services could similarly result in significant additional taxes on our business. For instance, the Supreme Court's decision and the enactment and enforcement of laws resulting therefrom could also impact where we are required to file state income taxes. As a result, our effective income tax rate as well as the cost and growth of our business could be materially and adversely affected, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, because the Company's products and services are available over the Internet, states may claim that the Company is required to do business as a foreign corporation in one or more of those jurisdictions. Failure to qualify as a foreign corporation in a jurisdiction where the Company is required to do so could subject it to taxes and penalties, and such jurisdictions may charge the Company with violations of local laws.

*Changes in tax laws or regulations in the various tax jurisdictions we are subject to could increase our cost of doing business.*

We may be subject to additional tax liabilities and penalties resulting from new legislation or regulations; changes in taxing jurisdictions' administrative interpretations, decisions, policies and positions; results of tax audits, examinations, settlements or judicial decisions; changes in accounting principles, as well as the evaluation of new information that results in a change to a tax position taken in a prior period; and changes to our business operations, including acquisitions. Any resulting increase in our tax obligation or cash taxes paid could adversely affect our cash flows and financial results.

**<u>Industry Risks</u>**

*We face significant competition from veterinarians and online and traditional retailers, as well as challenges from strategic alliances amongst our competitors, and may not be able to compete profitably with them.* 

We compete directly and indirectly with veterinarians for the sale of pet medications and other health products. Veterinarians hold a competitive advantage over us because many pet owners may find it more convenient or preferable to purchase these products directly from their veterinarians at the time of an office visit. We also compete directly and indirectly with both online and traditional retailers. Both online and traditional retailers may hold a competitive advantage over us because of longer operating histories, established brand names, greater resources, and/or an established customer base. Online retailers may have a competitive advantage over us because of established affiliate relationships to drive traffic to their website. Traditional retailers may hold a competitive advantage over us because pet owners may prefer to purchase these products from a store instead of online. In addition, we face growing competition from online and multichannel retailers, some of whom may have a lower cost structure than ours, as customers now routinely use computers, tablets, smartphones, and other mobile devices and mobile applications to shop online and compare prices and products in real time. In order to effectively compete in the future, we may be required to offer promotions and other incentives, which may result in lower operating margins and adversely affect the results of operations. We also face a significant challenge from our competitors forming alliances with each other, such as those between online and traditional retailers. These relationships may enable both their online and retail stores to negotiate better pricing and better terms from suppliers by aggregating the demand for products and negotiating volume discounts, which could be a competitive disadvantage to us.

------

*Product recalls and concerns regarding the safety and quality of the pet products we sell could affect our business.*

We are subject to laws and regulations by various federal and state regulatory authorities regarding the safety and quality of the pet products that we sell. We purchase products from various suppliers, one or more of which might not adhere to product safety requirements or our quality control standards, and we may not be able to identify the deficiency before merchandise ships to our customers. All of our suppliers are required to comply with applicable product safety laws, and we are dependent upon them to ensure such compliance. Any issues of product safety or allegations that the products we sell are in violation of governmental regulations, including, but not limited to, issues involving products manufactured in foreign countries or issues of mislabeling or adulteration, could cause those products to be recalled. If our suppliers fail to manufacture or import merchandise that adheres to our quality control standards, product safety requirements, or applicable governmental regulations, our reputation and brands could be damaged, potentially leading to decreased sales or increases in customer litigation against us. If consumers lose confidence in the safety and quality of the food or other products that we sell or in the suppliers that provide such products, then our sales could be adversely affected. Adverse publicity about these types of concerns, even if not valid, may discourage consumers from buying the products we offer, and such publicity cause disruptions with suppliers. The real or perceived sale of contaminated food products by us could result in product liability claims against our suppliers or us, expose us or our suppliers to governmental enforcement action or private litigation, or lead to costly recalls and a loss of consumer confidence, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We may also in the future voluntarily recall or withdraw products that we consider do not meet our standards in order to protect our brands and reputation. While we carry product liability insurance, our insurance may not be adequate to cover all liabilities that we may incur in connection with product liability claims. In addition, we may be unable to continue to maintain our existing insurance coverage or obtain comparable insurance at a reasonable cost, if at all, or secure additional coverage, which may result in future product liability claims being uninsured. Any of these factors could negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

*Pandemics or other health crises, such as the possible resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, may adversely affect our results of operations.*

The outbreak and global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the spread of recent variants, and related containment efforts created, and may continue to contribute to, significant economic disruption in the United States and around the world. A resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, variations of the COVID-19 virus, or other pandemics could adversely affect our business operations. It is impossible to predict the effect and ultimate impact of the possible resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, a variation of the COVID-19 virus, or other pandemic. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented working from home where possible and enhanced disinfection and social distancing within our workplace. Future COVID-19 surges or variants, as well as other pandemics, may result in us again encouraging employees to work from home, which could adversely impact costs, operations, and morale, as well as result in consumer privacy, IT security, and fraud concerns.

Governmental lockdowns and other restrictions at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted, and in the event of a future resurgence or a different pandemic or health crisis may again negatively impact, the operations of and ability to ship from our fulfillment center. Our future results of operations and overall financial performance could be uncertain should a new virus strain of COVID-19, a new pandemic, or other health crisis occur.

**<u>Securities Risks</u>**

*Our stock price fluctuates from time to time and may fall below expectations of securities analysts and investors, and could subject us to litigation, which may result in you suffering a loss on your investment.*

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which are out of our control. These factors include: changes in accounting treatments or principles; announcements by our competitors of new products and services offerings; significant contracts, acquisitions, or strategic relationships; additions or departures of key personnel; any future sales of our common stock or other securities; stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly traded companies; and general political, economic, and market conditions. In some future quarter our operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, which could result in a decrease in the trading price of our common stock. In addition, if the Company fails to meet expectations related to future growth, profitability, dividends, or other market expectations, the price of the Company's common stock may decline significantly,

------

which could have a material adverse impact on investor confidence and employee retention. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may be the target of similar litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources, which could seriously harm our business and operating results.

*We may issue additional shares of preferred stock that could defer a change of control or dilute the interests of our common shareholders*. *Our charter documents could defer a takeover effort which could inhibit your ability to receive an acquisition premium for your shares*.

Our charter permits our Board of Directors to issue up to 5.0 million shares of preferred stock without shareholder approval. Currently there are 2,500 shares of our Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. This leaves slightly less than 5.0 million shares of preferred stock available for issuance at the discretion of our Board of Directors. These shares, if issued, could contain dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the rights of our common shareholders and which could also be utilized, under some circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying, or preventing a change in control. Provisions of our articles of incorporation, bylaws and Florida law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if many of our shareholders believe it is in their best interest.

*Actions of activist stockholders could be disruptive and costly and could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and/or share price*

While we strive to maintain constructive communications with our stockholders, we may, from time to time, be subject to demands from activist stockholders. Any activist campaign against the Company that contests, conflicts with, or seeks to change, our board composition, leadership, strategic direction, or business mix could have an adverse effect on us because: (i) responding to actions by activist stockholders could disrupt our operations, be costly or time-consuming, or divert the attention of our board of directors and senior management from their regular duties, which could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition; (ii) perceived uncertainties as to our future direction, including as a result of possible changes to the composition of our board, may lead to the perception of a change in the direction of the business or lack of continuity, any of which may be exploited by our competitors, cause concern to our customers, employees, and/or business partners and result in the loss of potential business opportunities, or make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners, and may adversely affect our relationships with vendors, customers, business partners, and other third parties; (iii) these types of actions could cause significant fluctuations in our share price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business; and (iv) if individuals are elected to our board of directors with a specific agenda, it may adversely affect our ability to effectively implement our business strategy and create additional value for our stockholders.

*Our ability to pay regular dividends to our shareholders and the amounts of any such dividends are subject to the discretion of the Board and may be limited by our financial condition, or limitations under Florida law.*

We paid regular dividends to our shareholders from 2009 to August 2023, and on February 1, 2024, our Board of Directors elected to suspend the quarterly dividend indefinitely. The Board of Directors determined to reserve and/or utilize cash resources that would otherwise be available for distributions in order to fund additional strategic transactions or investments in our business. The determination to pay dividends and the amounts thereof in the future will be at the discretion of the Board and will be dependent on then-existing conditions, including our financial condition, income, legal requirements, including limitations under Florida law, and other factors the Board deems relevant. For these reasons, shareholders should not rely on dividends to receive a return on investment. Accordingly, and for the foreseeable future, realization of any gain on shares of our common stock will depend solely on the appreciation of the price of our common stock, which may not occur.

**ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS**

None.

**ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY**

PetMed Express, Inc. ("PetMeds") and PetCareRx maintains an enterprise-wide cybersecurity program designed to identify, assess, manage, and mitigate information security risks across the organization. Our program encompasses

------

governance, policy, prevention, detection, incident response, and recovery mechanisms in alignment with industry standards.

**Cybersecurity Risk Management and Oversight**

Our cybersecurity risk management program is built to protect our systems, data, and customers from a wide range of cyber threats. This includes internal protocols and controls, as well as third-party oversight. Our cybersecurity practices are guided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) CSF (Cyber Security Framework), and categorizes cybersecurity tasks into five key functions: identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover. This functional orientation helps organizations make informed decisions about reducing cyberattacks.

Oversight of cybersecurity risk is formally overseen by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. The Audit Committee receives regular briefings from management on cybersecurity topics, including strategy, threats, incident trends, remediation activities, and updates on material developments, as appropriate.

**Incident Detection and Response**

We have implemented an Incident Response Policy and detailed procedures that govern how potential cybersecurity events are identified, escalated, investigated, contained, and remediated. The objectives of our incident response program include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Timely investigation and validation of incidents

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Minimization of data loss or service disruption

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Evidence preservation in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Restoration of affected systems and services

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Post-incident review and implementation of corrective actions

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Notification to affected parties and regulators, where appropriate

These procedures are tested and exercised periodically to ensure preparedness and adaptability.

**Security Measures and Monitoring**

We deploy a layered defense model using widely adopted technologies and internal solutions for threat monitoring, detection, and response. Our efforts include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Regular system scans, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ongoing compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Deployment of endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools and real-time monitoring solutions

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Secure development practices and controls embedded within our digital transformation initiatives

As we modernize our digital platforms and phase out legacy systems, we are embedding advanced security practices into our infrastructure. This includes improving controls around identity management, access, encryption, and software development life cycles.

**Third-Party and Vendor Risk Management**

Our vendor and partner management processes include security due diligence, contractually required safeguards, and—in relevant cases—direct review of their cybersecurity practices. We require certain vendors with access to sensitive systems or data to undergo security training or meet specific security certification requirements.

**Training and Awareness**

Cybersecurity awareness is a foundational element of our risk management approach. We conduct recurring cybersecurity training for employees across the company, with tailored modules that address evolving threat vectors such as phishing, ransomware, and social engineering. Additional targeted training is provided to users in high-risk roles.

**Cybersecurity Incidents**

We maintain an active process to detect and respond to cybersecurity incidents. While we have experienced routine threats and minor incidents in the normal course of operations, to date, we have not identified any cybersecurity incidents that have materially impacted our business, operations, or financial results.

------

Nevertheless, we recognize that cybersecurity risks are dynamic and continually evolving. We cannot guarantee that future events will not have a material impact. For more information on cybersecurity-related risks, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors", including the risk titled: "Our failure or the failure of third-party service providers to protect our websites, networks, and systems against cybersecurity incidents, or otherwise to protect our confidential information, could damage our reputation and brands and substantially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations."

**ITEM 2. PROPERTIES**

We own our principal executive offices and distribution center, which are located at 420 South Congress Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida 33445 (the "Delray Beach Property"). The Delray Beach Property consists of approximately 634,000 square feet of land or 14.6 acres with two building complexes totaling approximately 185,000 square feet, with additional land for future use. The first building complex consists of approximately 125,000 square feet and the second building complex consists of approximately 60,000 square feet each consisting of both office and warehouse space. The Company occupies approximately 97,000 square feet of the first building for its principal offices and distribution center. As of March 31, 2025, 48% of the Delray Beach Property was leased to two tenants with a remaining weighted average lease term of 5.2 years. We believe that our facilities are sufficient for our current needs and are in good condition in all material respects.

In connection with our acquisition of PetCareRx, in April 2023 we assumed the leases of two buildings occupied by PetCareRx located in Lynbrook, New York. These facilities, which aggregate approximately 32,000 square feet, are used by PetCareRx as a shipping and fulfillment center and as an executive office. The leases expire in April 2027 and include the option to renew for an additional five years.

**ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

We are involved from time to time in various claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, including claims related to products, product warranties, contracts, employment, intellectual property, consumer protection, pharmacy and other regulatory matters. We have settled complaints that had been filed with various states' pharmacy boards in the past. There can be no assurances made that other states will not attempt to take similar actions against us in the future. We also initiate litigation to protect our trade or service marks. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our trade or service marks. In the opinion of management, none of the claims and suits, either individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our operations or consolidated financial statements. Legal costs related to the above matters are expensed as incurred.

On April 18, 2024, Plaintiff Timothy Fitchett ("Plaintiff") filed an action against the Company in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, on behalf of himself and on behalf of a class of others similarly situated. Plaintiff alleges that the Company violated Pennsylvania's Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law by representing "reg." prices for products which the Company allegedly never charged for those products. On May 13, 2024, the Company removed the matter to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania in Pittsburgh. The Company successfully opposed the Plaintiff's motion to remand the case back to the Court of Common Pleas. On the face of the Complaint, Plaintiff is seeking damages for himself in the amount of the allegedly illusory discounts he allegedly believed he was receiving when purchasing products from the Company or, in the alternative, a complete refund of amounts he paid to the Company, and he is also seeking a liability determination for members of the proposed class. The Company denies liability in this matter and intends to defend the action accordingly. The Company cannot determine materiality or estimate a range of potential liability, if any, at this time if the Company were determined to be liable.

On February 14, 2025, Plaintiffs Ashley Bird, Tyler Dvornski, and Tiffany Hughes ("Plaintiffs") filed an action in the Northern District of New York on behalf of themselves and a class of others similarly situated alleging that the Company misrepresented that its products were on sale by showing a "regular" strikethrough price, when the products were never sold for the strikethrough price. Plaintiffs allege that by using this "false reference price" or "false discount," the Company artificially inflated its prices and charged consumers more than it otherwise could. Plaintiffs allege that these purported practices violate New York General Business Law §§ 349 and 350 as well as California's Unfair Competition Law and California's False Advertising Law. After the Company made a motion to dismiss the complaint, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The Company notified the court that it intends to file a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Company denies liability in this matter and intends to defend the action accordingly. The Company cannot determine materiality or estimate a range of potential liability, if any, at this time if the Company were determined to be liable.

**ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT**'**S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES** 

***Market Information***

Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market ("NASDAQ") under the symbol "PETS."

***Holders***

There were 75 active holders of record of our common stock on September 30, 2025.

***Dividend Policy***

We paid cash dividends on a quarterly basis from August 2009 to August 2023. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we declared and paid cash dividends totaling zero and $12.7 million (an aggregate of $0.60 per share for the year ended March 31, 2024), respectively.

On October 26, 2023, our Board of Directors elected to suspend the quarterly dividend for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, and on February 1, 2024, our Board of Directors elected to suspend the quarterly dividend indefinitely. This move is intended to focus use of the Company's existing cash flow on growth and other higher return initiatives. The Board of Directors reviews and discusses the capital allocation needs of the Company, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis. The declaration and payment of future dividends is discretionary and will be subject to a determination by the Board of Directors. When considering whether to declare a dividend, our Board of Directors will take into account:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• General economic and business conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our financial condition and operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our available cash and current and anticipated cash needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our capital requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Strategic uses of cash for growth initiatives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by us; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Such other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

***Performance Graph***

Set forth below is a line graph comparing the five-year cumulative performance of our common stock with the NASDAQ Composite, the Russell 2000, and S&P 500 from March 31, 2020 to March 31, 2025. The graph assumes that $100 was invested on March 31, 2020, in each of our Common Stock, the NASDAQ Composite, the Russell 2000, and the S&P 500. Because we have historically paid dividends on a quarterly basis, the graph assumes that dividends were reinvested. The performance graph and related information below shall not be deemed "filed" with the SEC, nor shall such

Presently, our product line includes approximately 10,000 of the most popular pet medications, health products, and supplies for dogs, cats, and horses.

We market our products through national advertising campaigns which aim to increase the recognition of the "PetMeds" brand name and "PetCareRx" brand name, increase traffic on our websites at *www.petmeds.com* and *www.petcarerx.com*, acquire new customers, and maximize repeat purchases. Our sales consist of products sold mainly to retail consumers. The twelve-month average purchase increased slightly at approximately $97 and $94 per order for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, respectively.

Restatement

As described in the Explanatory Note above and in Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements, we have restated our consolidated financial statements and Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Affected Periods.

**Completion of Audit Committee Investigation**

On October 7, 2025, the Company publicly reported the conclusion of the previously disclosed investigation by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee"). As previously reported, the Company was unable to file, within the prescribed time period, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, following the commencement of an investigation by the Audit Committee that was originally disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 1, 2025. The Audit Committee, assisted by outside legal counsel, Foley & Lardner LLP, and forensic accountants, BDO USA, P.C., conducted during June through August 2025 an investigation into allegations raised by two separate reports submitted anonymously through the Company's third-party-administered whistleblower hotline on April 15 and 16, 2025 regarding (i) the timing of revenue recognition with respect to certain AutoShip orders in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2025, some of which resulted in customer complaints; (ii) a fiscal fourth quarter 2025 $50 coupon promotion to customers and whether it was motivated to any extent by its potential impact on Company KPIs regarding new customers; and (iii) the Company's culture and control environment. The investigation's scope also ultimately included additional matters identified during the course of the investigation.

The Audit Committee's primary investigative findings in the investigation included the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Company accelerated shipment of products to AutoShip customers from the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 (i.e., the quarter ending March 31, 2025) to the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 (i.e., the quarter ending December 31, 2024) (the "December Accelerated Shipments") and again from the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 (i.e., the quarter ending June 30, 2025) to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 (i.e., the quarter ending March 31, 2025) (the "March Accelerated Shipments"). The acceleration of shipments did not comply with certain provisions of the Company's AutoShip Terms & Conditions with their customers. As a result, the Company erroneously recorded $133,189 in revenue associated with the December Accelerated Shipments in the quarter ending December 31, 2024 of fiscal year 2025 and $1,101,151 in revenue associated with the March Accelerated Shipments in its financial statements for the quarter ending March 31, 2025. Management has corrected the March Accelerated Shipments error prior to the filing this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) On March 21, 2025, the Company issued a $50 coupon with the objective of attracting new customers to its website and encouraging previous customers who had not recently placed an order to do so. When initially launched, the coupon did not contain a minimum purchase requirement, but a $100 minimum was later added after management noted excessive use of the coupon. The coupon was utilized in the placement of approximately 30,000 total orders, only

------

approximately 74 of which had a net sale amount (sale amount less coupon value) of $0. Prior to the investigation, management had erroneously recorded in its financial statements for the quarter ending March 31, 2025, $2,451 in expenses for the 74 orders with no net sales amount to cost of goods sold rather than to marketing expense. The Audit Committee found that the inclusion of customers with zero net sales did not have a material impact on the Company's new customer KPI.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The Company's former Chief Executive Officer, Sandra Campos, hired her nephew for a mid-level position and did not follow the Company's employee handbook as a result of her failing to inform the Company of the family relationship at the time of her nephew's hiring and in having the nephew report directly to her for a period of time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Although the Audit Committee did not find that the Company's culture fostered an environment that discouraged employees from raising concerns, the Audit Committee did find that certain members of management were concerned about the speed with which business decisions were made and the lack of adequate time to evaluate them.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) The former Audit Committee Chair (Diana Purcel) and the former Chief Financial Officer (Robyn D'Elia) did not report the whistleblower complaints (referenced above) to the Company's external auditors on a timely basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) In April 2025, the Company accrued $711,897 for cooperative marketing funds for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025 believed to be due from a vendor in connection with marketing services provided by the Company pursuant to the Company's Retail Reseller Agreement with the vendor. Based on management's communications to clarify the amount with the vendor during the investigation, this accrual was determined to be erroneous and to have resulted from management's misunderstanding of an oral agreement with the vendor. In August 2025, after confirming with the vendor the amounts that the vendor did agree to pay, management corrected the error prior to the filing of its financial statements by reducing its other current assets and increased marketing expense by $287,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

In its investigation, the Audit Committee identified certain conduct that was determined to be inconsistent with the Company's Code of Business Conduct & Ethics and related policies involving certain members of management. The Audit Committee referred these matters to the Board of Directors of the Company for appropriate action and discipline.

The Board of Directors, as part of its remediation plan to foster a tone at the top that exemplifies a culture of commitment to the principles set forth in the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, requested and accepted the resignations of the former Chief Executive Officer (Sandra Campos) and the former Chief Financial Officer (Robyn D'Elia) and approved and entered into mutual separation agreements with Ms. Campos and Ms. D'Elia on August 11, 2025, as reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 12, 2025. Also, the Board of Directors requested and accepted the resignation of the former Chair of the Audit Committee (Diana Purcel), and such resignation was previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on July 28, 2025.

As a result of the findings in the investigation, the Audit Committee made a number of recommendations which the Board of Directors has adopted, including: replacement of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chair of the Audit Committee; implementation of additional and enhanced policies, procedures, and training on the Company's Code of Ethics & Conduct; correction of certain accounting errors as described above; and strengthening the Company's internal controls over financial reporting and operations related to the matters investigated. The Company has reported in Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting in connection with the findings of the investigation.

**Restatement**

As described in the Note 1 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," we have restated our consolidated financial statements and Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and the interim periods in those years and for the quarters ended June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and the results of our operations contained herein are based upon our consolidated financial statements and the data used to prepare them. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. On an ongoing

------

basis we re-evaluate our judgments and estimates including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, and income taxes. We base our estimates and judgments on our historical experience, knowledge of current conditions, and our beliefs of what could occur in the future considering available information. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our estimates are guided by observing the following critical accounting policies. See Note (2) - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this 10-K Report for a description of our significant accounting policies as well as a description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of the date of this 10-K Report.

We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have the greatest potential impact on our financial condition and results of operations and, therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Accordingly, we evaluate our estimates, assumptions, and judgments on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments, and conditions.

Revenue recognition

We account for revenue under ASC Topic 606 ("*Revenue from Contracts with Customers")* and generate revenue by selling pet medication products and pet supplies mainly to retail customers. Certain pet supplies offered on our website are drop shipped to customers. We consider ourself the principal in the arrangement because we control the specified good before it is transferred to the customer. Revenue contracts contain one performance obligation, which is delivery of the product; customer care and support is deemed not to be a material right to the contract. The transaction price is adjusted at the date of sale for any applicable sales discounts and an estimate of product returns, which are estimated based on historical patterns, however this is not considered a key judgment. There are no amounts excluded from the variable consideration. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the customer at the point in time in which the shipment of the product occurs. This key judgment is determined as the shipping point, which represents the point in time where we have a present right to payment, title has transferred to the customer, and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership.

Outbound shipping and handling fees are an accounting policy election and are included in sales as we consider ourself the principal in the arrangement given responsibility for supplier selection and discretion over pricing. Shipping costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are an accounting policy election and are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales.

Membership fees represent the amounts recognized periodically from two membership models. The first is the PetPlus membership for PetCareRx customers, and the second is a partner membership provided through PetCareRx. These memberships provide discounted pricing, free standard shipping, veterinary telehealth services and local Caremark Pharmacy prescription pickup which represent a single stand-ready performance obligation to provide these benefits. The PetPlus membership fee is an upfront annual charge and automatically renews one year from the initial enrollment date. The Company recognizes the revenue ratably over the term of the PetPlus membership which is generally one year.

Virtually all of our sales are paid by credit cards and we usually receive the cash settlement in two to three banking days. Credit card sales minimize accounts receivable balances relative to sales. We had no material contract asset or contract liability balances as of March 31, 2025, or March 31, 2024.

We maintain an allowance for credit losses that we estimate will arise from customers' inability to make required payments, arising from either credit card chargebacks or insufficient funds checks. We determine our estimates of the uncollectability of accounts receivable by analyzing historical bad debts and current economic trends. The allowance for credit losses was approximately $91 thousand and $273 thousand at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment annually on January 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate goodwill might be impaired. When testing goodwill for impairment by determining whether the carrying value of each reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. we have the option to choose whether it will apply a qualitative assessment first and then a quantitative assessment, if necessary, or to apply the

------

quantitative assessment directly. We have concluded that we have one reporting unit and has assigned the entire balance of goodwill to this reporting unit.

We have performed our annual goodwill impairment testing as of January 1, 2025 using a quantitative assessment and at that time concluded there was no impairment. Since January 1, 2025, our stock price decreased from $4.82 at December 31, 2024 to $4.19 at March 31, 2025. We considered the decrease in its stock price in FY 2025 to be indicative of potential risks that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. We performed a quantitative assessment as of March 31, 2025, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired because the market capitalization, i.e. fair value determined based on our stock price (without including a control premium), of the single reporting unit exceeded its carrying value as of March 31, 2025.

Accounting for income taxes

We account for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740 ("*Accounting for Income Taxes*"), which generally requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax benefits or consequences of events that have been included in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting carrying values and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws for the taxable years in which those differences are expected to reverse. As required by "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" guidance, which clarifies ASC Topic 740, we recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

We apply "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" guidance to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open. We had no liabilities for uncertain tax positions for either fiscal 2025 or fiscal 2024. We file tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and Florida, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Idaho, Maryland, Michigan, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Georgia, Indiana, New York and the District of Columbia. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ending March 31, 2020, or earlier. Any interest and penalties related to income taxes will be recorded to other income (expenses).

**Macroeconomic Factors**

We monitor the effects of the macroeconomic environment and take appropriate steps to mitigate the impact on our business, employees and financial condition; however, the nature and extent of this impact in future periods remains difficult to predict due to numerous uncertainties outside our control.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

*Adjusted EBITDA* 

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; income tax provision; interest income (expense); and other non-operational expenses. We have provided reconciliations below of adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) 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 and depreciation 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 interest expense relating to an estimated unremitted prior period 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Although depreciation is a non-cash charge, the assets being depreciated 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect non operating expenses (income) including sales tax expense (income) relating to recording a liability for sales tax we did not collect from our customers or recognizing a gain on settlement from settling a state liability for less than recorded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

**Fiscal 2025 Compared to Fiscal 2024 (refer to our 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 for Fiscal 2024 Compared to Fiscal 2023)**

**<u>Sales (As Restated)</u>**

Sales decreased by approximately $47.1 million or 17.2%, to approximately $227.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately $274.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 reflects a strategic reduction in advertising, broader macroeconomic factors, and higher consumer promotional usage.

Reorder sales decreased by approximately $34.6 million, or 15.5%, to approximately $188.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately $222.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in reorder sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 is primarily due to a decline in prescription medication sales.

New order sales decreased by approximately $10.6 million or 25.5%, to approximately $31.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, compared to $41.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The decrease for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 in new order sales is primarily due to a strategic reduction in advertising.

We acquired approximately 351,000 new customers for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately 457,000 new customers for the same period in the prior year. The following chart illustrates sales by various sales classifications:

---

| | | | | | |

| Reorder sales | $188017 | 82.8% | $222578 | 81.2% | -15.5% |
| New order sales | 31097 | 13.7% | 41734 | 15.2% | -25.5% |
| Membership fees | 7858 | 3.5% | 9783 | 3.6% | -19.7% |
| Total net sales | $226972 | 100.0% | $274095 | 100.0% | -17.2% |

---

The Company changed the definition of a new order sale on July 1, 2024, to include sales from customers who have not previously ordered from the Company over the past twelve months compared to the prior definition which was thirty-six months. The reorder and new order sales amounts for the years ended March 31, 2025 reflect this new customer definition change. Under the previous definition of a new customer, reorder and new order sales were $241 million and $23.7 million, respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2024.

The Company offers an AutoShip & Save subscription program ("AutoShip") on our website. AutoShip is a convenient way for our loyal customer base to have future pet medication orders delivered directly to them without the need to place an order each time. We are encouraged by the adoption of our AutoShip program and have seen an increasingly positive trend since we launched this program. Recurring sales, which includes AutoShip and membership revenue, as a percentage of total gross sales was 56.1% for the most recent quarter ended March 31, 2025, up from 53.5% for the same period last year and up from 56.2% sequentially in the prior quarter.

Going forward sales may be adversely affected due to increased competition and consumers giving more consideration to price. The changes in consumer behavior post pandemic makes future sales somewhat challenging to predict. No guarantees can be made that sales will continue to grow in the future.

**<u>Cost of sales (As Restated)</u>**

Cost of sales decreased by approximately $31.5 million, or 16.6% to $157.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, from $189.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The cost of sales decrease can be directly related to the decrease in sales during fiscal year 2025. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 69.5% in fiscal year 2025, as compared to 69.1% in fiscal 2024. The increase in cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in discount activity.

------

**<u>Gross profit (As Restated)</u>**

Gross profit decreased by approximately $15.6 million, or 18.4%, to $69.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, from $84.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in gross profit can be directly related to the decrease in sales and lower profit margins during fiscal 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for fiscal 2025 was 30.5% compared to 30.9% for fiscal 2024. The gross profit and gross profit percentage decreased for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 compared to the previous fiscal year.

**<u>General and administrative expenses (As Restated)</u>**

General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $16.6 million, or 30.0%, to $38.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, from $55.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to a $16.2 million decrease in payroll and payroll related expenses. The decrease in payroll and payroll related expenses primarily consisted of a $13.5 million decrease in stock compensation expense, of which $8.7 million was from the one-time non-cash stock compensation reversal associated with an executive departure. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was 17.0% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, compared to 20.2% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

**<u>Advertising expenses (As Restated)</u>**

Advertising expenses, which is net of manufacturer funded advertising, decreased by approximately $6.8 million to $23.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, from $30.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. This decrease for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, can be mainly attributed to lower gross media spend and a higher proportion of spending funded by third party partners. As a percentage of sales, advertising expense was 10.5% and 11.2% for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

The advertising costs of acquiring a new customer, defined as total advertising costs divided by new customers acquired, were $68 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, compared to $67 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, per the new definition of new customers.

The advertising cost of acquiring a new customer can be impacted by the advertising environment, the effectiveness of our advertising creative, spending, and price competition. Historically, the advertising environment fluctuates due to supply and demand. A more favorable advertising environment may positively impact future sales, whereas a less favorable advertising environment may negatively impact future sales.

**<u>Depreciation and amortization</u>**

Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $7.0 million and $7.1 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

**<u>Other income</u>**

Other income decreased by approximately $0.9 million, to $0.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, from $1.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower invested balances. Interest income, net may decrease in the future as we utilize our cash balances on future investments or partnerships, on our operating activities, enter a credit facility or if the current interest rate environment changes.

**<u>Provision for income taxes</u>**

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded an income tax provision of approximately $5.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The increase to the income tax provision for fiscal 2025 is primarily due to the Company establishing a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. Our effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 was approximately (968.3)%, compared to approximately (19.0)% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The pre-tax loss in fiscal 2024 caused unfavorable items to decrease the rate instead of increasing it. The primary drivers of the rate are related to the increase in valuation allowance against the Company's net deferred tax assets, partially offset with the non-deductible executive compensation under Sec. 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. This limits deductions for compensation of covered executives to $1.0 million per individual.

------

**<u>Net loss</u>**

Net loss decreased by approximately $1.2 million, to a loss of approximately $6.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, from a loss of approximately $7.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The decrease to net loss was primarily related to a decrease in general and administrative expenses, including the above-mentioned $8.7 million non-cash stock compensation reversal and advertising expenses, partially offset by a decrease in sales and gross profit, and an increase in the provision for income taxes during the fiscal year.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources** 

At March 31, 2025, we had $54.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt obligations. Our working capital at March 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $16.1 million and approximately $21.5 million, respectively. The $5.4 million decrease in working capital was attributable to $14.8 million decrease in current assets, out of which $12.4 million from inventory and $9.4 million decrease in current liabilities, out of which $9.5 million from accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Net cash provided by operating activities remained essentially unchanged at $4.7 million and $4.3 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $0.4 million increase in cash provided by operating activities is due to the $1.2 million decrease in net loss reduced by $7.3 million of non-cash operating adjustments and partially offset by the $6.5 million increase in current liabilities net of current assets excluding cash.

Net cash used in investing activities was $5.1 million and $40.7 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This change in investing activities reflects the PetCareRx acquisition in the prior year.

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.2 million and $12.4 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, due to the payment of an aggregate $0.60 per share dividend in fiscal year 2024.

We paid cash dividends quarterly from August 2009 to August 2023. On February 1, 2024, our Board of Directors elected to suspend the quarterly dividend indefinitely. This move is intended to focus use of the Company's cash flow on growth initiatives and other higher return initiatives. The Board of Directors reviews and discusses the capital allocation needs of the Company, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis. The declaration and payment of future dividends is discretionary and will be subject to a determination by the Board of Directors. When considering whether to declare a dividend, our Board of Directors will take into account:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• General economic and business conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our financial condition and operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our available cash and current and anticipated cash needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our capital requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Strategic uses of cash for growth initiatives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by us; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Such other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

On April 3, 2023, we closed on our acquisition of PetCareRx for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $36.0 million. At March 31, 2025 we had no material outstanding purchase or lease commitments. Other than the lease commitments assumed as part of the PetCareRx acquisition for the leases on two buildings, we are not currently bound by any long- or short-term agreements for the purchase or lease of property and equipment. Any material amounts expended for property and equipment would be the result of an increase in the capacity needed to adequately provide for any future increase in our business. To date we have paid for any needed additions to our capital equipment infrastructure from working capital funds and anticipate this being the case in the future. Our primary source of working capital is cash from operations. We presently have no need for alternative sources of working capital and have no commitments.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

Other than disclosures included in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, which are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein, we do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

**ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the value of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The book values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Interest rates affect our return on excess cash and cash equivalents. At March 31, 2025, we had $54.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, and the majority of our cash and cash equivalents generate interest income based on prevailing interest rates. A significant change in interest rates would impact the amount of interest income generated from our excess cash and cash equivalents. It would also impact the market value of our cash and cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents are subject to market risk, primarily interest rate and credit risk. Our cash and cash equivalents are managed by a limited number of outside professional managers within investment guidelines set by our Board of Directors. Such guidelines include security type, credit quality, and maturity, and are intended to limit market risk by maintaining cash in federally-insured bank deposit accounts and restricting cash equivalents to highly-liquid investments with a maturities of three months or less. We do not hold any derivative financial instruments that could expose us to significant market risk. At March 31, 2025, we had no debt obligations.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of PetMed Express, Inc. and subsidiaries

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PetMed Express, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2025, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Our report dated October 14, 2025 expressed an opinion that the Company had not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013.

**Restatement of Previously Issued Information**

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the 2024 and 2023 consolidated financial statements have been restated to correct a misstatement.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matters**

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

**Revenue Recognition**

As reported on the consolidated statements of operations, the Company reported net sales of $227.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2025. As disclosed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenues when control transfers to the customer at the point in time at which the shipment of the product occurs. A portion of the Company's revenues are initiated based on the AutoShip program where customers are able to request future deliveries without the need to place an order each time.

We identified the proper year-end cutoff of AutoShip revenue transactions as a critical audit matter due to the significant audit effort required in performing procedures and evaluating the audit evidence related to the AutoShip revenue transactions. As disclosed by the Company, material weaknesses were identified in information technology general controls (ITGCs) and its control environment which impacted these revenue transactions.

------

Our audit procedures related to the cutoff of AutoShip revenue transactions included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tested the occurrence of recorded AutoShip revenue transactions on a sample basis by obtaining and inspecting invoices, customer order history, delivery documents, and cash receipts from customers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tested the cutoff of recorded AutoShip revenue transactions on a sample basis by obtaining and inspecting invoices, customer order history, delivery documents, and cash receipts from customers for a period leading up and immediately after quarter-ends.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Obtained merchant statements for the fiscal year and performed a proof of cash reconciliation from these statements to related total revenue. Also obtained merchant statements from after year-end to inspect for unusual charge-back and return activity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Performed a proof of cash reconciliation that reconciled cash deposits to revenue and related revenue accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Performed analytical procedures to compare monthly revenue trends and usual changes on a month-to-month basis.

**Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance** 

As described in Note 2 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements the Company has a valuation allowance against the Company's net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was 7.4 million as of March 31, 2025. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements. Valuation allowances are provided for deferred tax assets where it is considered more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefit of such assets. In evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets in future periods, the available positive and negative evidence, including history of book losses, recent results of operations and sources of taxable income, including the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income (exclusive of reversing temporary differences) and tax planning strategies, are considered.

We identified management's determination of the value of deferred tax assets as a critical audit matter as there is significant judgment required by management to conclude whether it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be realized in future periods. In addition, the auditing of these elements involved complex and subjective auditor judgment, including the need to involve personnel with specialized skill and knowledge.

Our audit procedures to evaluate management's determination that sufficient taxable income will not be generated to realize all of the deferred tax assets included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated the reasonableness of management's estimates in regard to the ability to utilize deferred tax assets by testing management's assessment of the timing of future reversals of temporary differences.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We utilized personnel with specialized knowledge and skill in income taxes and accounting for income taxes under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, *Income Taxes*, to assist in the evaluation of management's assessment of positive and negative evidence and their conclusion that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets.

/s/ RSM US LLP

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2007.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements**

As further described below, (i) our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, (ii) our unaudited consolidated financial statements covering the quarterly reporting periods during fiscal year 2023, consisting of the quarters ended June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022; (iii) our unaudited consolidated financial statements covering the quarterly reporting periods during fiscal year 2024, consisting of June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2023 and (iv) our unaudited consolidated financial statements covering the quarterly reporting periods during fiscal year 2025, consisting of the quarters ended June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024 have been restated to reflect the correction of material errors. For restatement information on these interim periods, see Note 18, Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited and Restated).

**Restatement Background**

The need for restatement was identified: (1) in part by the Audit Committee Investigation (see Part II, Item 7); and (2) during financial analyses conducted in connection with the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The Company participates in a range of vendor-funded programs through which it receives reimbursements for certain activities, including advertising, sales incentives, and other promotional efforts, typically linked to purchase or sales volume thresholds. These programs are designed to offset costs incurred in connection with stocking, promoting, and selling vendor products.

The Company identified certain errors in its accounting for payments, rebates and discounts from suppliers arising from a misapplication of US GAAP. Historically, the Company accounted for (1) certain promotional sales reimbursements as a component of its revenues and (2) certain co-operative advertising expenses as a component of advertising costs that were not specific, incremental or identifiable. The Company notes that these errors should be accounted for as a component of (reduction to) cost of sales. Furthermore, after a thorough review of the Company's vendor agreements, the Company also identified the following additional errors within our accounting for vendor consideration which will also be included in the Restatement:

1)A specific vendor whose marketing and advertising arrangements, previously categorized as cost of sales, needed to be reallocated to offset advertising expenses.

2)A specific vendor whose promotional sales reimbursements, previously categorized as advertising expenses, needed to be reallocated to cost of sales.

**Restatement Adjustments**

The following table summarizes the effect of the errors on the Company's consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023:

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

**Organization**

The Company is a leading nationwide direct-to-consumer pet pharmacy and online provider of prescription and non-prescription medications, food, supplements, supplies and vet services for dogs, cats, and horses. The Company markets and sells directly to consumers through its websites, customer contact center, and mobile application. The Company offers consumers an attractive alternative for obtaining pet medications, foods, and supplies in terms of convenience, price, speed of delivery, and valued customer service.

Founded in 1996, the Company's executive headquarters offices are currently located in Delray Beach, Florida. The Company has a March 31 fiscal year and references herein to fiscal 2025, 2024, or 2023 refer to the Company's fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

**Principles of Consolidation**

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include PetMed Express, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

**Business Combinations**

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805 (*"Business Combinations"*). The purchase price is allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue and cash flows, discount rates and selection of comparable companies. The estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets could change due to numerous factors, including market conditions, technological developments, economic conditions, and competition. In connection with the determination of fair values, the Company may engage a third-party valuation specialist to assist with the valuation of intangible and certain tangible assets acquired and certain obligations assumed. Acquisition-related transaction costs incurred by the Company are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as an operating expense in the period in which the costs are incurred.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents**

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2025 and 2024 consisted of the Company's cash accounts and money market accounts with a maturity of three months or less. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's significant estimates include estimates

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

related to collectability of receivables, impairment of inventories, deferred tax allowances, and intangible valuation allowances.

**Inventories**

Inventories consist of prescription and non-prescription pet medications and pet supplies that are available for sale and are priced at the lower of cost or net realizable value using a weighted average cost method. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence. The inventory reserve was approximately $34 thousand and $72 thousand at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**Property and Equipment**

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Our building is being depreciated over a period of thirty years. The furniture, fixtures, equipment, and computer software are being depreciated over periods ranging from three to ten years.

**Long-lived Assets**

Long-lived assets, which include amortizable intangible assets and fixed assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable and are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities (asset group). Recoverability of the asset group is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the asset group. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) of an asset group is less than its carrying value, and the fair value of an asset group is also less than its carrying value, the assets will be written down by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeded its fair value. At March 31, 2025, the Company concluded that there is no impairment of its long-lived assets under ASC 360.

**Goodwill** 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment annually on January 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate goodwill might be impaired. When testing goodwill for impairment by determining whether the carrying value of each reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company has the option to choose whether it will apply a qualitative assessment first and then a quantitative assessment, if necessary, or to apply the quantitative assessment directly. The Company has concluded that it has one reporting unit and has assigned the entire balance of goodwill to this reporting unit.

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment testing as of January 1, 2025 using a quantitative assessment and at that time concluded there was no impairment. Since January 1, 2025, the Company's stock price decreased from $4.82 at December 31, 2024 to $4.19 at March 31, 2025. The Company considered the decrease in its stock price in FY 2025 to be indicative of potential risks that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company performed a quantitative assessment as of March 31, 2025, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired because the market capitalization, i.e. fair value determined based on the Company's stock price, (without including a control premium) of the single reporting unit exceeded its carrying value as of March 31, 2025. (See Footnote 19, "Subsequent Events")

**Intangible Assets**

The Company acquired definite-lived intangible assets in the acquisition (see Note 4) that will be amortized based on their estimated useful lives in accordance with ASC Topic 350 ("Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"). These definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized over periods ranging from three to seven years. Acquired trade name is not being amortized and is subject to a review for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred. If the carrying amount of an indefinite lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that

excess. Following the Company's annual impairment testing in fiscal 2025, while there was no single determinative event or factor, the reduction in actual and forecasted revenues related to the trade name led the Company to conclude that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the trade name was less than its book value. As a result of our quantitative impairment test, the Company concluded there was a $1.2 million impairment of the PCRX trade name. The fair value of the trade name was determined using the "relief from royalty" method.

This method estimates the value of the trade name by calculating the present value of the royalty payments that would have been avoided by owning the trade name rather than licensing it. Key assumptions used in this valuation include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Royalty Rate: A hypothetical royalty rate of 0.5% was applied, based on comparable market transactions and industry benchmarks for similar trade names. This rate reflects the estimated arm's-length royalty that a market participant would be willing to pay for the use of the trade name.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Forecasted Revenues: Future revenue projections associated with the use of the trade name were based on the Company's internal forecasts, incorporating expectations for market growth. These forecasts were adjusted to reflect the impact of the identified triggering event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Discount Rate: A discount rate of 16.5% was utilized, representing the Company's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) adjusted for the specific risks associated with the trade name and the relevant industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Capitalization Rate: A capitalization growth rate of 13.5% was applied to project cash flows beyond the discrete forecast period, reflecting long-term sustainable growth expectations.

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, the fair value measurement for the trade name impairment is categorized as a Level 3 fair value measurement. This is due to the significant unobservable inputs used in the relief from royalty valuation, including the royalty rate, forecasted revenues, discount rate, and terminal growth rate, which require significant management judgment and estimation.

**Other Assets**

Other assets consist of the initial minority interest investment in Vetster. Details can be found in Note 16 below.

**Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

**Advertising**

The Company's advertising expense consists primarily of Internet marketing and direct mail/print. Internet costs are expensed in the month incurred and direct mail/print advertising costs are expensed when the related catalogs, brochures, and postcards are produced, distributed, or superseded.

**Cost of Goods Sold**

Cost of goods sold includes the purchase price of inventory sold, freight costs associated with inventory, shipping supply costs, inventory shrinkage costs and valuation adjustments and reductions for promotions and discounts offered by the Company's vendors.

**Vendor Allowances** 

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia97a1b559a524b6da299dfd46f1cf62d_7)</u>

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

The Company receives funds from its merchandise vendors through a variety of programs and arrangements, primarily in the form of purchases-based or sales-based volumes and for product advertising and placement. The Company recognizes vendor allowances based on purchases and sales as a reduction of cost of sales when the associated inventory is sold. Vendor allowances for advertising and placement are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales ratably over the corresponding performance period. Funds that are determined to be a reimbursement of specific, incremental and identifiable costs incurred to sell vendors' products are recorded as an offset to the related expense within Advertising Expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Operations when incurred.

**Leases**

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842 (*"Leases")*. The Company reviews all contracts and determines if the arrangement is or contains a lease, at inception. Operating leases are reported as right-of-use ("ROU") assets, current lease liabilities and long-term lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company does not have any material leases, individually or in the aggregate, classified as a finance lease.

Operating lease ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any upfront lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees.

Approximately 48% of the Company's Delray Beach property, or approximately 88,000 square feet was leased to two tenants. At March 31, 2025, the leases with these two tenants had a remaining weighted average lease term of 5.2 years. The Company recorded approximately $0.7 million, $1.2 million, and $0.7 million in rental revenue in fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which was included in other income. In fiscal 2025, the Company recorded $42 thousand of rental revenue associated with a PetCareRx lease which expired in April 2024. The Company expects to receive the following future lease payments, under the current lease agreements, over the next seven years: $0.9 million in fiscal 2026, $1.0 million in fiscal 2027, $1.0 million in fiscal 2028, $0.9 million in fiscal 2029, $1.0 million in fiscal 2030 and $0.4 million in fiscal 2031.

**Comprehensive Income**

The Company applies ASC Topic 220 ("*Reporting Comprehensive Income*") which requires that all items that are recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. The items of other comprehensive income that are typically required to be displayed are foreign currency items, minimum pension liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no components of comprehensive income and therefore does not report comprehensive income or Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

**Income Taxes**

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740 ("*Accounting for Income Taxes*") which generally requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax benefits or consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting carrying values and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws for the taxable years in which those differences are expected to reverse. As required by "Accounting for

Uncertainty in Income Taxes" guidance, which clarifies ASC Topic 740, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

The Company applies "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" guidance to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open. The Company had no liabilities for uncertain tax positions for either fiscal 2025 or fiscal 2024. The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and Florida, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Idaho, Maryland, Michigan, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Georgia, Indiana, New York and the District of Columbia. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ending March 31, 2021, or earlier. Any interest and penalties related to income taxes will be recorded to other income (expenses).

**Business Concentrations**

The Company purchases its products from a variety of sources, including certain manufacturers, domestic distributors, and wholesalers. We have multiple suppliers for each of our product lines to obtain the lowest cost. There were six and seven suppliers from which we purchased approximately 81% and 78% of all products in fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**Accounting for Share Based Compensation**

The Company records compensation expense associated with restricted stock in accordance with ASC Topic 718 ("*Share Based Payments*"). The compensation expense related to all of the Company's stock-based compensation arrangements is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements** 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Update 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures". This Update applies to all public entities that are required to report segment information in accordance with Topic 280. The amendments in this Update revise reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this Update do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Update should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company implemented this update in this Form 10-K (see Footnote 4 "Segment Reporting").

In December 2023, the FASB issued Update 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures". This Update applies to all entities that are subject to Topic 740. The amendments in this Update revise income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information as well as the effectiveness of certain other income tax disclosures. The Update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Update should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this Update.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No.2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03") to require public companies to disclose, in the notes to financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and may be applied on a retrospective or prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this Update.

**(3) Revenue Recognition**

In accordance with ASC Topic 606 *("Revenue from Contracts with Customers")*, the Company generates revenue by selling prescription and non-prescription pet medication products, pet food, supplements, supplies, membership fees, and veterinary services. Certain pet supplies offered on the Company's website are drop shipped to customers. The Company considers itself the principal in the arrangement because the Company controls the specified good before it is transferred to the customer. Revenue contracts contain one performance obligation, which is delivery of the product. Customer care and support is deemed not to be a material right to the contract. The transaction price is adjusted at the date of sale for any applicable sales discounts and an estimate of product returns, which are based on historical patterns, however this is not considered a key judgment. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the customer at the point in time at which the shipment of the product occurs. This key judgment is determined as the shipping point, which represents the point in time when the Company has a present right to payment, title has transferred to the customer, and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership. Virtually all the Company's sales are paid by credit cards and the Company usually receives the cash settlement in two to three banking days. Credit card sales minimize the accounts receivable balances relative to sales. Revenue is recorded net of sales tax, discounts and return allowances. Return allowances are estimated using historical experience and not material.

Outbound shipping and handling fees are an accounting policy election and are included in sales as the Company considers itself the principal in the arrangement given its responsibility for supplier selection and discretion over pricing. Shipping costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are an accounting policy election and are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales.

Membership fees represent the amounts recognized periodically from two membership models. The first is the PetPlus membership for PetCareRx customers, the second is a partner membership provided through PetCareRx. These memberships provide discounted pricing, free standard shipping, veterinary telehealth services and other benefits which represent a single stand-ready performance obligation to provide these benefits. The PetPlus membership fee is an upfront annual charge and automatically renews one year from the initial enrollment date. The Company recognizes the revenue ratably over the term of the PetPlus membership which is generally one year. As shown in the following table, under the PetPlus program, the Company recognized $4.1 million deferred annual membership fees in the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, and had $2.1 million of deferred revenue as of the year ended March 31, 2025.

Company determines its estimates of the uncollectability of accounts receivable by analyzing historical bad debts and current economic trends in compliance with the provisions of ASC Topic 326 ("*Financial Instruments - Credit Losses").* The allowance for credit losses was approximately $91 thousand and $273 thousand at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

**(4) Segment Reporting**

The Company has a single segment that derives sales from customers through the sale of products which are shipped directly to customers. The accounting policies of the Company's single segment are the same as those described in the Company's Significant Accounting Policies.

The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance for the segment and decides how to allocate resources based on Adjusted EBITDA that is reconciled to GAAP net loss reported on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations below. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or into other parts of the entity. Adjusted EBITDA is used to monitor budget versus actual results and forecast versus actual results and is utilized when establishing management's compensation in collaboration with the Board of Directors. 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 table below provides a summary of significant expense categories regularly provided to the CODM reconciled to Adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income, for the years ended March 31. The CODM does not review segment assets at a different asset level or category than those disclosed within the consolidated balance sheets.

**(5) Acquisition**

On April 3, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of PetCareRx, a New York corporation and a leading supplier of pet food, pet medications, and supplies. The acquisition was completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") by and among the Company, Harry Merger Sub, Inc., a New York corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), PetCareRx and Jeanette Loeb (as representative of the PetCareRx equity holders). The Merger Agreement provided for the Company's acquisition of PetCareRx pursuant to the merger of Merger Sub with and into PetCareRx, with PetCareRx as the surviving corporation. The aggregate purchase price consideration was $36.1 million and was funded from the Company's cash on hand.

The acquisition of PetCareRx allowed the Company to expand its product catalog, most notably in non-medication products, including food. In addition, PetCareRx brings increased distribution capability and experience, geographic diversity, technology enhancements, additional vendor relationships and a long-tenured and experienced staff.

The Company recognized goodwill of approximately $26.7 million, which is calculated as the excess of the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed as compared to the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill recognized in the transaction represents synergies or scale achieved by significantly increasing the customer base without adding corresponding levels of additional overhead, the value of additional vendor relationships, including the food manufacturing relationships, a broader product catalog, and an assembled and experienced workforce. These items represent intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. No goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on their estimates of fair value available as of April 3, 2023, as calculated by an independent third-party firm. The selected rates of returns were chosen in consideration of the individual risk profiles of the assets, as well as the resulting weighted average return on assets. Intangible assets are considered to be riskier than the overall business, so the Company included a premium to the investment rate of return on the identified intangible discount rates.

The fair values of intangible assets acquired consist of a trade name, customer relationships, and developed technology, which were estimated by applying various discounted cash flow models such as the relief from royalty rate for the trade name, the multi-period excess earnings method for the customer relationships, and the cost to replace method for the developed technology. The fair value measurements were based on significant inputs that are not observable (Level 3). The assumptions made by management in determining the fair value of intangible assets included a discount rate of 12% based on the weighted average cost of capital.

As a result of the acquisition, the Company performed an Internal Revenue Code Section 382 analysis to determine if the net operating losses carried forward would have a utilization limitation. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion.

The table below outlines the purchase price allocation of the purchase for PetCareRx to the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities assumed and goodwill (in thousands):

On April 19, 2022, the Company engaged in a three-year partnership agreement with Vetster Inc. ("Vetster"), a Canadian veterinary telehealth company. The Company also purchased a 5% minority interest in Vetster in the amount of $5.0 million and received warrants for additional equity in Vetster, which are tied to future performance milestones. On October 3, 2023, the Company purchased additional shares in Vetster in the amount of $0.3 million. This increased the minority interest investment to $5.3 million. Following this round, the Company's minority ownership changed to approximately 4.8% of Vetster's outstanding shares. The minority interest investment is being valued on the cost basis. At March 31, 2025, we evaluated the investment in accordance with ASC Topic 321 (*Accounting for Equity Interests*) and determined it was not impaired.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company became the exclusive pet products e-commerce provider for Vetster, and Vetster became the exclusive provider of telehealth and telemedicine services to the Company. The Company and Vetster will continue to work on a non-exclusive basis under the terms of the agreement after April 19, 2025. The minority interest investment is being valued on the cost basis and the investment will be evaluated periodically for any impairment.

Under the terms of the agreement, Vetster earns from 10% to 20% of revenue generated from its customers on orders fulfilled by the Company. For the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 the Company earned approximately $1.5 million, $0.8 million, and $0.4 million in net sales for orders placed through Vetster and incurred fees to Vetster of approximately $0.3 million, $0.2 million, and $0.1 million, respectively.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(9) Leases**

The Company's leasing activities primarily consist of real estate leases acquired during the acquisition of PetCareRx for use in the business operations. The leases had initial terms ranging from 5 years to 10 years. Some of the initial lease terms have already matured and the remaining leases have maturity dates ranging from fiscal year 2027 to 2030. The Company assesses whether each lease is an operating lease or a finance lease at the lease commencement date. The Company does not have any material leases, individually or in the aggregate, classified as a finance lease.

**Variable Lease Costs**

Certain of the Company's leases require payments for taxes, insurance, and other costs applicable to the property, in addition to the minimum lease payment. These costs are considered variable costs which are based on actual expenses incurred by the lessor. Therefore, these amounts are not included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

The Company has lease agreements which provide for fixed and scheduled escalations, which are included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

**Options to Extend or Terminate Leases**

The Company's leases may contain an option to extend the lease term for periods from one to five years The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. If it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options, the periods covered by such options are included in the lease term and are recognized as part of the Company's right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company's leases do not generally contain options to early terminate.

**Other Lease items**

The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company's operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

**Discount Rate and Lease Term**

As of March 31, 2025, the weighted average remaining lease term and discount rate for the Company's operating leases were 2 years and 3.6%, respectively. As the rate implicit in the lease is generally not readily determinable for the Company's operating leases, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the date of acquisition, April 3, 2023, in determining the present value of future payments.

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realizability of its net deferred tax assets, which are composed primarily of net operating losses and capitalized research and development costs. Management has considered the Company's cumulative net losses in recent years and limited evidence of sustainable taxable income in future periods, and concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not recognize the benefits of deferred tax assets. As a result, a full valuation allowance has been established against the Company's net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $263 thousand, primarily attributable to acquired indefinite-lived intangibles with no corresponding tax basis. For accounting purposes, the intangible assets will not be amortized and subject to impairment review and testing. A portion of these deferred tax liabilities are not available as a source of income to support the realization of deferred tax assets because they are not expected to reverse in the same period as deferred tax assets. As a result, the Company has recorded a deferred tax liability for the portion of the liability that cannot be offset with indefinite lived deferred tax assets. Management reevaluates the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period. The valuation allowance increased by $6.8 million and $0.6

In fiscal 2025 the Company recorded income tax expense of $5.7 million which was primarily related to the increase in the Company's valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, partially offset with the benefit related to the cancellation of the former CEO's performance stock units. In fiscal 2024, the Company recognized non-deductible executive stock compensation of approximately $1.8 million. This included adjusting the deferred tax assets by a cumulative $1.0 million to account for future limitations under Sec. 162(m). This limits deductions for compensation of covered executives to $1.0 million per individual. In fiscal 2023, the Company recognized a

stock compensation shortfall charge of approximately $171 thousand, and recognized a one-time charge of approximately $124 thousand, related to a return to provision true up from the fiscal 2022 income tax provision.

The differences between the effective income tax rate and the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate are as follows:

| Valuation allowance | (1155.2)% | —% | —% |
| Other | (2.0)% | —% | 1.7% |
| Total effective tax rate | (968.3)% | (19.0)% | 31.0% |

---

The Company's effective tax rate of (968.3)% differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the increase of valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, partially offset with the benefit related to the cancellation of the former CEO's performance stock units during the period ended March 31, 2025.

The pre-tax loss in fiscal 2024 caused unfavorable items to decrease the rate instead of increasing it. The primary driver is related to the non-deductible executive compensation. The primary drivers for the increase in effective tax rate for the fiscal 2023 is due to the recognition of permanent differences related to one-time acquisition costs and a non-deductible portion of restricted stock compensation.

**(11)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shareholders**' **Equity**

Preferred Stock

In April 1998, the Company issued 250,000 shares of its $.001 par value preferred stock at a price of $4.00 per share, less issuance costs of $112 thousand. Each share of the preferred stock is convertible into approximately 4.05 shares of common stock at the election of the shareholder. The shares have a liquidation value of $4.00 per share and may pay dividends at the sole discretion of the Company. The Company does not anticipate paying dividends to the preferred shareholders in the foreseeable future. Each share of preferred stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company. At March 31, 2025 and 2024, 2,500 shares of the convertible preferred stock remained unconverted and outstanding.

On December 2, 2024, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company adopted a rights agreement and declared a dividend of one right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of Company common stock, to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 16, 2024 (the "Record Date"). The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a rights agreement, dated as of December 3, 2024 (the "Rights Agreement"), between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a federally chartered trust company, as rights agent.

The Board adopted the Rights Agreement to protect the investment of shareholders during a period in which it believes shares of the Company do not reflect the inherent value of the business or its long-term growth potential, and during which there have been recent significant accumulations of common stock by certain shareholders. The Rights Agreement is intended to enable shareholders to realize the long-term value of their investment in the

**(11)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shareholders**' **Equity (Continued)**

Company by reducing the likelihood that any entity, person, or group is able to gain a control or control-like position in the Company through open market accumulation without paying all shareholders an appropriate control premium or providing the Board sufficient opportunity to make informed judgments and take actions that are in the best interests of all shareholders.

In general terms, the Rights Agreement imposes significant dilution upon any person or group (other than the Company and certain other excluded persons and exempt persons), that is or becomes the beneficial owner of 12.5% or more of the common stock without the prior approval of the Board following the first public announcement by the Company of the adoption of the Rights Agreement. The term "beneficial ownership" is defined in the Rights Agreement and includes, among other things, certain derivative arrangements.

In general, each Right entitles its registered holder, subject to the terms of the Rights Agreement, to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Preferred Stock"), of the Company at an exercise price of $27.00 per Right, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances (the "Purchase Price"). The Rights will become exercisable if (among other things) any person or group acquires 12.5% or more of the outstanding common stock, including through derivatives agreements, without the approval of the Board (an "Acquiring Person"). If a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, all holders of Rights except the Acquiring Person or any associate or affiliate thereof may, upon exercise of a Right, purchase for the Purchase Price shares of Common Stock with a market value of two times the Purchase Price, based on the market price of the Common Stock prior to such acquisition. If the Company is acquired in a merger or similar transaction after an Acquiring Person becomes such, all holders of Rights except the Acquiring Person or any associate or affiliate thereof may, upon exercise of a Right, purchase for the Purchase Price shares of the acquiring company with a market value of two times the Purchase Price, based on the market price of the acquiring company's stock prior to such transaction. Any Rights held by an Acquiring Person will be void and may not be exercised.

The Rights will expire on the earliest to occur of (a) the close of business on December 2, 2025, (b) the time at which the Rights are redeemed by the Company (as provided in the Rights Agreement), or (c) the time at which the Rights are exchanged by the Company (as provided in the Rights Agreement). There was no impact to the Company's current period financial statements from adopting this Rights Agreement.

In connection with the adoption of the Rights Agreement, the Board adopted Articles of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the "Articles of Amendment"), which designates the rights, preferences, and privileges of 100,000 shares of a new series of the Company's preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. The Company filed the Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida on December 3, 2024.

Dividends

The declaration and payment of future dividends is discretionary and will be subject to a determination by the Board of Directors each quarter following its review of the Company's financial performance. During fiscal 2024, our Board of Directors declared the following dividends:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In July 2015, the Company's 2015 Outside Director Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan ("2015 Director Plan") became effective upon the approval of the plan by the Company's shareholders. The 2015 Director Plan authorized 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock available for issuance under the plan and provides for an automatic increase every year in the amount of shares available for issuance under the plan of 10% of the shares authorized under the plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In July 2016, the Company's 2016 Employee Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan ("2016 Employee Plan") became effective upon the approval of the plan by the Company's shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The 2022 Employee Plan replaced the 2016 Employee Plan, and as of April 2023 no further awards were granted, or will be granted, under the 2016 Employee Plan. The 2022 Employee Plan authorized 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock available for issuance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On August 8, 2024, the Company adopted the 2024 Omnibus Plan pursuant to which the Company reserved 850,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company's common stock for the issuance of equity awards granted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On September 27, 2024, the Company adopted the 2024 Inducement Plan pursuant to which the Company reserved 350,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company's common stock (subject to the adjustment provisions of the Inducement Plan) for the issuance of equity awards granted under the Inducement Plan.

The Company records compensation expense associated with restricted stock in accordance with ASC Topic 718 ("*Share Based Payments*") (ASU 2016-09). The value of the restricted stock is determined based on the market value of the stock at the issuance date. The restriction period or forfeiture period is determined by the Company's Compensation and Human Capital Committee and is to be no less than 1 year and no more than ten years unless otherwise specified by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee. The following table presents the number of common shares issued under each of the Company's plans:

As of March 31, 2025, all shares in the 2022 Employee Plan, 2016 Employee Plan and 2015 Director Plan were issued subject to a restriction or forfeiture or vesting period that lapses ratably on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of grant, and the fair value of which is being amortized over a one to three-year restriction period, with the exception of performance restricted shares which were issued to the Company's former Chief Executive Officer and the former Company's Chief Financial Officer and Company's current Chief Executive Officer.

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized compensation expense related to the 2016 and 2022 Employee Plan, the 2015 Director Plan, 2024 Omnibus Plan and 2024 Inducement Plan of $(6.6) million, $6.9 million, and $6.6 million, respectively. All stock-based compensation expense is recognized as a payroll-related expense and it is included within the general and administrative expenses line item within the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, and the offset is included in the additional paid-in capital line item of the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

**Restricted Stock Awards Granted:**

In August 2021, the Company issued 90,000 restricted shares and 510,000 performance restricted shares to the Company's former CEO, in accordance with the former CEO's employment agreement, under the 2016 Employee Plan. The performance restricted shares were based on achieving absolute stock hurdles within the three-year period from the grant date. If the shares met the absolute stock price hurdle, they would have only been released from restrictions on the third anniversary of the date of grant. As of March 31, 2025, none of the performance stock hurdles were met, and subsequent to March 31, 2024 the performance restricted shares were forfeited and cancelled as a result of the former CEO's cessation of employment with the Company.

In August 2022, the Company issued 13,000 restricted shares and 3,000 performance restricted shares to the Company's former CFO, in accordance with the CFO's employment agreement, under the 2016 Employee Plan. One-third of the restricted shares would have vested on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the CFO's continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date, with any unvested Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") being forfeited upon the CFO ceasing to be an employee of the Company. The performance restricted shares were based on the attainment of performance criteria equally weighted between adjusted EBITDA and revenue, and on June 8, 2023 the Company determined that the performance criteria was not attained over the applicable performance period and the performance restricted shares were forfeited.

In June 2023, the Company granted the Company's former CFO 11,750 RSUs under the 2022 Employee Plan, of which 3,750 RSUs were awarded in recognition of the CFO's contributions during fiscal year 2023 and the remaining 8,000 awarded as a part of the equity award cycle for fiscal year 2024. One-third of the RSUs would have vested on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the CFO's continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date, with any unvested RSUs being forfeited upon the CFO ceasing to be an employee of the Company. Also in June 2023, the CFO was awarded 8,000 PSUs with a market condition.

In August 2024, 3,917 of the RSUs granted in June 2023 and all PSUs granted in June 2023 were forfeited and cancelled in connection with the former CFO's Transition and Separation Agreement.

On September 27, 2024, the Company's new CFO received a grant of 250,000 RSUs under the Company's 2024 Inducement Plan. Such RSUs will vest in one-third increments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant so long as the CFO continues to be employed by the Company on each vesting date, and such RSUs will otherwise contain the standard provisions for RSU grants by the Company.

On January 15, 2025, the Company's CEO received a grant of 146,772 RSUs and 146,772 PSUs under the Company's 2024 Omnibus Plan. Such RSUs will vest in one-third increments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant so long as the CEO continues to be employed by the Company on each vesting date, and such RSUs will otherwise contain the standard provisions for RSU grants by the Company. The CEO will earn shares of our common stock pursuant to the PSUs based on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the S&P 600 Specialty Retail Index ("Index") over an overall three-year performance period from January 2, 2025 through December 31, 2027, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 100% of the target number of shares will be earned if the Company's TSR is equal to or greater than the 75th percentile of the Index (the "maximum target payout");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 50% of the target number of shares will be earned if the Company's TSR is equal to at least the 50th percentile of the Index;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 25% of the target number of shares will be earned if the Company's TSR is equal to at least the 25th percentile of the Index (the "minimum threshold");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• No shares will be earned if the TSR is less than the 25th percentile of the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Linear scaling will be used to determine the number of shares earned for performance between the maximum target payout level and the minimum threshold payout level.

**Restricted Stock Units**

The Company first granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") in the year ended March 31, 2024. The fair value assigned to RSUs is the market price of the Company's stock on the grant date. The vesting period for employees and members of the Board of Directors ranges from one to three years.

 **Performance Stock Units** 

The Company first granted performance stock units ("PSUs") in the year ended March 31, 2024. The fair value assigned to PSUs is determined using the market price of the Company's stock on the grant date for awards with a performance condition, and by using a Monte Carlo simulation for awards with a market condition. Existing PSUs with a performance condition vest over one year. Existing PSUs with a market condition vest over three years. Stock-based compensation costs associated with PSUs with a performance condition are re-assessed each reporting period based upon the estimated performance attainment on the reporting date until the performance conditions are met. The ultimate number of shares of common stock that are issued to an employee is the result of the actual performance of the Company at the end of the performance period compared to the performance targets and generally ranges from 0% to 200% of the initial PSU grant.

For the year ended March 31, 2025, PSU activity under the Plans was as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2022 Employee Plan Number of Shares** | **2024 Omnibus Plan Number of Shares** | **Total PSUs** | **Weighted-Average<br> Grant Date<br> Fair Value Per PSU** |
| Non-vested PSUs outstanding at March 31, 2024 | 12000 |  | 12000 | $10.48 |
| Granted |  | 146772 | 146772 | $3.47 |

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The total grant-date fair value of PSUs granted during the twelve months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

**(12)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Share-Based Compensation (Continued)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For the twelve months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded stock-based compensation related to PSUs of $(1) thousand and $64 thousand, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• At March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were $475 thousand and $62 thousand unrecognized compensation costs related to PSUs subject to restriction and forfeiture awards, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average restriction and forfeiture period of 2.8 years and 1.6 years for fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**(13)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fair Value Measurements**

The Company carries cash and cash equivalents and investments at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. ASC Topic 820 (*"Fair Value Measurements"*) establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. At March 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company had invested the majority of its $54.7 million and $55.3 million cash and cash equivalents balance in money market funds which are classified within Level 1.

**(14)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net (Loss) Income Per Share**

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260 ("*Earnings Per Share*") basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per common share includes the dilutive effect of potential restricted stock and the effects of the potential conversion of preferred shares, calculated using

the treasury stock method. Unvested restricted stock, and convertible preferred shares issued by the Company represent the only dilutive effect reflected in diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net (loss) income per share computations for the periods presented (in thousands, except for per share amounts):

At March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023*,* 1,027,909, 827,863, and 745,854 shares of common restricted stock, respectively, were excluded from the computations of diluted net income per common share, as their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on diluted (net loss)/net income per common share.

Legal Matters and Routine Proceedings

The Company has settled complaints that had been filed with various states' pharmacy boards in the past. There can be no assurances made that other states will not attempt to take similar actions against the Company in the future. The Company also intends to vigorously defend its trade or service marks. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in protecting its trade or service marks. Legal costs related to the above matters are expensed as incurred. From time to time, the Company may be involved in and subject to disputes and legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation that arise in the ordinary course of its business. These proceedings may include allegations involving business practices, infringement of intellectual property, employment or other matters. The ultimate outcome of any legal proceeding is often uncertain, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in any legal proceeding, and unfavorable outcomes could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition. In accordance with ASC Topic 450-20 ("*Loss Contingencies*"), the Company records a liability in its financial statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews the status of each significant matter each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary to make the financial statements not misleading. If the loss is not probable and cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in the Company's financial statements. Gain contingencies are not recorded until they are realized. Legal costs related to any legal matters are expensed as incurred.

On April 18, 2024, Plaintiff Timothy Fitchett ("Plaintiff") filed an action against the Company in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, on behalf of himself and on behalf of a class of others

similarly situated. Plaintiff alleges that the Company violated Pennsylvania's Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law by representing "reg." prices for products which the Company allegedly never charged for those products. On May 13, 2024, the Company removed the matter to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania in Pittsburgh. The Company successfully opposed the Plaintiff's motion to remand the case back to the Court of Common Pleas. On the face of the Complaint, Plaintiff is seeking damages for himself in the amount of the allegedly illusory discounts he allegedly believed he was receiving when purchasing products from the Company or, in the alternative, a complete refund of amounts he paid to the Company, and he is also seeking a liability determination for members of the proposed class. The Company denies liability in this matter and intends to defend the action accordingly. The Company cannot determine materiality or estimate a range of potential liability, if any, at this time if the Company were determined to be liable.

On February 14, 2025, Plaintiffs Ashley Bird, Tyler Dvornski, and Tiffany Hughes ("Plaintiffs") filed an action in the Northern District of New York on behalf of themselves and a class of others similarly situated alleging that the Company misreppresented that its products were on sale by showing a "regular" strikethrough price, when the products were never sold for the strikethrough price. Plaintiffs allege that by using this "false reference price" or "false discount," the Company artificially inflated its prices and charged consumers more than it otherwise could. Plaintiffs allege that these purported practices violate New York General Business Law §§ 349 and 350 as well as California's Unfair Competition Law and California's False Advertising Law. After the Company made a motion to dismiss the complaint, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The Company notified the court that it intends to file a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Company denies liability in this matter and intends to defend the action accordingly. The Company cannot determine materiality or estimate a range of potential liability, if any, at this time if the Company were determined to be liable.

**(16)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Employee Benefit Plan**

The Company maintains a 401(k) Savings Plan for eligible employees. The plan is a defined contribution plan that is administered by the Company. All regular, full-time employees are eligible for voluntary participation upon completing 90 days of service and having attained the age of 21. The plan provides for growth in savings through contributions and income from investments. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974*,* as amended. Plan participants are allowed to contribute a specified percentage of their base salary. The Company matches 100% of the first 4% of the employee's contribution. The matching contribution is funded subsequent to the calendar year. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded $309 thousand, $350 thousand, and $289 thousand, respectively, of 401(k) matching contribution and administration expense to general and administrative expenses. In accordance with the plan documents, the Company can elect to make discretionary contributions, however, none were made during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

**(19)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subsequent Event**

*Potential Future Goodwill Impairment*

Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the Company has continued to experience a sustained decline in the price of its common stock from the values at March 31, 2025. A significant sustained decrease in the Company's common stock, has in the past been, and in the future may be, a potential indicator that a portion of its goodwill is impaired. If impairment is indicated, it may require a quantitative impairment assessment of the Company's assets, including goodwill, which may result in a material additional non-cash impairment charge during the first fiscal quarter of 2026. The Company is still performing its quantitative assessment of its goodwill at this time. While management cannot predict if or when additional future goodwill impairments may occur, additional goodwill

In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements of the Company and our report dated October 14, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management's assessment:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As a result of the investigation over reports filed through the Company's third-party administered whistleblower hotline, it was determined the Company did not maintain an effective internal control environment due to ineffective controls in its risk assessment process, information and communication process and monitoring activities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As a result of the investigation mentioned above, the Company did not have effectively designed controls over the Company's AutoShip revenue recognition process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As a result of the investigation mentioned above, the Company did not have effectively designed controls over the accounting for the consideration received from vendors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company's prior year material weakness in the design, implementation, and operating effectiveness of information technology general controls (ITGCs) in the areas of user access, change management and service organizations that are relevant to preparation of the financial statements and impact all business processes including revenue, remained unremediated as of March 31, 2025. As a result, IT-dependent manual and automated controls that rely on the affected ITGCs, or information from the IT systems with affected ITGCs, were also ineffective. The Company's prior year material weakness relating to income taxes and the review of appropriate application of generally accepted accounting principles for the Company's sales tax liability remained unremediated as of March 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company in the prior year had a material weakness relating to complex accounting matters associated with appropriate design and operating effectiveness in controls over the review of deferred tax assets and the valuation of goodwill. Additionally, during the current year, a deficiency was identified in the operating effectiveness of controls over management's identification of triggering events and evaluation of impairment related to long-lived assets and therefore the material weakness remained unremediated as of March 31, 2025.

These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2025 financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated October 14, 2025 on those financial statements.

**Basis for Opinion**

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control

------

based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

None.

**ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

*Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures* 

Management maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit 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 management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025, the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date") was performed under the supervision and with participation of management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Principal Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Principal Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2025, due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.

*Management*'*s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting*

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Principal Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025 based on the framework in *Internal Control* — *Integrated Framework* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in *Internal Control* — *Integrated Framework,* management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, as of March 31, 2025, as a result of the material weaknesses described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As previously reported in our Form 10-K filed on June 14, 2024 the following material weaknesses continued to exist as of March 31, 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Information Technology General Controls ("ITGCs")** – A material weakness in internal controls relating to our ITGCs in the areas of user access, change management and service organizations over information technology ("IT") systems that support the Company's financial reporting processes. We concluded this ITGC material weakness may impact revenue and other business process controls and automated controls reliant upon these ITGCs. We believe that this material weakness was partially the result of lack of documentation created and retained to evidence management's procedures in addition to new in-scope systems related to the PCRX acquisition. While our ITGCs have substantially improved since fiscal year 2024, these control deficiencies continued to exist and result in an overall material weakness as of March 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Income and Sales Taxes** – During fiscal 2024, errors were identified in (1) the appropriate application of US GAAP relating to our sales tax liability and (2) the misapplication of Internal Revenue Code 162(m) which limits the deductibility of executive compensation in our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, in fiscal 2025 errors were identified in the calculation of our income tax provision, specifically related to our management review control over the income tax provision. While Management has made significant progress in remediating the sales tax deficiency, by hiring a third-party tax specialist with the requisite knowledge and resources and implementing a new control over the calculation of sales taxes, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the implemented controls operate for a sufficient period of time and Management has concluded, through testing, that the related controls are effective. Consequently, Management has determined that this material weakness continues to exist as of March 31, 2025. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our remediation plan and refine the remediation plan as appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Complex Accounting Matters** – During fiscal 2024, Management identified a material error in the PetCareRx purchase accounting related to the valuation of deferred tax assets and goodwill, which resulted in the restatement

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia97a1b559a524b6da299dfd46f1cf62d_7)</u>

of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023. Additionally, during fiscal 2025, a deficiency was identified in the operating effectiveness of controls over management's identification of triggering events and evaluation of impairment related to long-lived assets. Management has determined that this material weakness continues to exist as of March 31, 2025.

As described elsewhere in this Form 10-K, the Audit Committee engaged external legal counsel with other external advisors to investigate reports filed through the Company's third-party-administered whistleblower hotline regarding: the timing of revenue recognition with respect to certain AutoShip orders in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2025, some of which resulted in customer complaints; a fiscal fourth quarter 2025 $50 coupon promotion to customers and its potential impact on Company key-performance indicators ("KPIs") regarding new customers; and the Company's culture and control environment (the "Investigation").

In connection with the preparation of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025 and the completed Investigation, we identified additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, the Company did not have an effective control environment, risk assessment process, information and communication process and monitoring activities. The aggregation of issues identified within each of these areas resulted in the conclusion that a material weakness existed with respect to the "tone at the top" and effectiveness of governance within the Company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company failed to establish a tone at the top that fostered a culture of commitment to the principles set forth in the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company did not have effective information communication and monitoring controls, including a robust whistleblower process, relating to the timely identification and communication of issues among financial reporting personnel, management, the Board, and the independent registered public accounting firm to enable appropriate analysis, financial reporting, and disclosure of such transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company lacked effective controls and procedures that facilitated effective internal communication of alleged violations of the Code of Conduct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company lacked an effective and continuous risk assessment process and related controls to properly monitor, identify and analyze risks, including related risks of financial misstatement due to error and / or fraud, including management override of controls.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company lacked effective controls and procedures regarding the update of key accounting policies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The former Audit Committee chair did not promptly report whistleblower complaints to the Company's external auditors, RSM US LLP.

This tone at the top material weakness contributed to an additional material weakness related to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Management determined that certain the control activities within the revenue recognition business process, resulting in certain AutoShip revenue being recorded prior to the time at which all of the revenue recognition criteria were met. As a result of the material weakness, material errors were identified and corrected in the Company's financial statements that had initially been provided to the Company's independent auditors, RSM US LLP. These corrections were made prior to the issuance of the audited financials for the year ended March 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Management determined that it did not design and maintain effective controls over the complete, accurate and timely recording of cooperative advertising and vendor reimbursements due to: (1) the misapplication of the accounting guidance in ASC 705, Accounting for Consideration Received from Vendors; (2) a lack of review of certain provisions in vendor contracts and (3) lack of communicating and sharing information between the sales, accounting and finance departments. As a result of the material weakness, the material errors were identified and corrected in the Company's financial statements that had initially been provided to the Company's independent auditors, RSM. These corrections were made prior to the issuance of the audited financials for the year ending March 31, 2025. Additionally, the Company determined that the consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2024, and 2023; as well as, the interim periods within fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, should be restated.

*Remediation Plan – ITGC Material Weakness*

The Company is committed to remediating the ITGC material weakness identified above, fostering continuous improvement in internal controls and enhancing its overall internal control environment. Since identifying the above material weakness, the Company has begun the process of implementing the remediation activities described below. We

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia97a1b559a524b6da299dfd46f1cf62d_7)</u>

have put forth significant resources and effort to remediate our material weakness relating to ITGCs and our ITGCs have substantially improved since 2024. Our efforts to remediate our ITGC material weakness include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continuing to utilize third-party consultants specialized in ITGCs, internal audit, risk management and compliance functions. Their expertise will help us to continually assess risk and design and implement appropriate controls to address said risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continuing to implement ITGCs to address new risks and enhance the design of ITGCs to address changing risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Providing additional training for control owners and reviewers with specific focus on understanding the risks being addressed by the controls they are performing, as well as requirements for sufficient documentation and evidence in the execution of the controls.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continuing to analyze controls and policies as we upgrade our environment and systems in the upcoming year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continuing to enhance our reporting process related to the remediation measures to the Audit Committee.

The material weakness around ITGCs described herein will not be remediated until our remediation plan has been fully developed and implemented, the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and we have concluded, through testing, that the newly implemented and enhanced controls are designed and operating effectively. We may conclude that additional measures, including resources, are necessary to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which may necessitate additional evaluation and implementation time. We may also modify certain of the remediation efforts described above.

*Remediation Plan – Income and Sales Taxes*

The following actions and plans will be or have been implemented during fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company will update its key policies and procedures to ensure the proper processing of transactions with senior executives, and to enhance the review and approval for these types of transactions and ensure their proper disclosure and will train relevant employees on such updated policies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We will engage third-party experts, as necessary, to assist our management with the review of the accounting treatment and the financial reporting and disclosure of significant, complex or non-recurring transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Prior to the filing of this Form 10-K, the Company established a Disclosure Committee comprised of senior management representatives from all relevant departments within the organization. Members of this committee are responsible for reviewing all quarterly and annual SEC filings, and meet prior to each filing to discuss the completeness and accuracy of the document being filed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company is designing and implementing a variety of new procedures, such as enhancing its weekly business review meetings amongst senior management that are attended by members of the accounting department and Board, to ensure that cross-functional senior management is aware of operational changes that may affect the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company will design and implement additional controls over revenue recognition, specifically relating to its AutoShip program.

*Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls*

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, 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. In addition, the design and disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their cost.

*Trading Arrangements*

During the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025, no director or officer (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) of the Company adopted, modified, or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

*Trade Name Impairment*

As part of the Company's impairment testing conducted in connection with the preparation of the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the reduction in actual and forecasted revenues related to the Company's trade name led the Company to conclude that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the trade name was less than its book value. As result of the Company's quantitative impairment test, the Company concluded there was a $1.2 million impairment of its trade name. For additional information regarding this impairment charge, see Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Principles) to our Consolidated Financial Statements in included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption "Intangible Assets."

*2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders*

The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") has determined that the Company's 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "2025 Annual Meeting") will be held virtually on January 21, 2026. More detailed information regarding the 2025 Annual Meeting will be set forth in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Because the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting date has been changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Company's 2024 annual meeting of shareholders (the "2024 Annual Meeting"), in accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company is hereby informing shareholders of such change. In addition, because the 2025 Annual Meeting will be held more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the 2024 Annual Meeting, the deadlines set forth in the proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting for the submission of shareholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act and director nominations pursuant to the Company's proxy access rights, in each case for consideration at the 2025 Annual Meeting, no longer apply. Further, because the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting will be held more than 60 days from the anniversary date of the 2024 Annual Meeting, the deadlines set forth in the proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting for shareholders to submit a notice of a proposal outside the processes of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act and a notice of proposed director nominations, in each case for consideration at the 2025 Annual Meeting, no longer apply.

In order for a shareholder proposal, submitted solely pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, to be considered timely for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2025 Annual Meeting, such proposal must be received by the Company by October 24, 2025. Therefore, in order for a shareholder to submit a proposal for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials for the 2025 Annual Meeting, the shareholder must comply with the requirements set forth in Rule 14a-8, including, without limitation, with respect to the subject matter of the proposal, and must deliver the proposal and all required documentation to the Company at its principal executive offices at the address set forth below no later than October 24, 2025. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting will not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for submitting a proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8. Any such shareholder proposals should be mailed to the Company at the following address: PetMed Express, Inc., 420 South Congress Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33445, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

The Company's Third Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide shareholders with a proxy access right that permits a shareholder, or group of up to 20 shareholders, owning an aggregate of at least 3% of the Company's outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years to nominate and include in the Company's proxy materials director nominees constituting up to the greater of two individuals or 20% of the Board, provided that the shareholder(s) and the nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in the Bylaws. A shareholder who intends to nominate and include in the Company's proxy materials proxy access director nominees must cause a notice of nominations of such proxy access nominees to be received by the Company at the same address provided above no later than the close of business on October 24, 2025, which is the 10th day following the first public disclosure by the Company of the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting, and must comply with the other requirements of the Bylaws, including, but not limited to, the requirements with respect to the form and content of a proxy access notice of nominations. Any notice of proxy access nominations received after such date will be considered untimely. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of the 2025 Annual Meeting, or the announcement thereof, commence a new time period for the giving of such notice of proxy access nominations.

Because the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting will be held more than 60 days from the anniversary date of the 2024 Annual Meeting, to be timely in accordance with the Bylaws, shareholders intending to submit a proposal outside the processes of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act or a proposed director nomination, in each case for consideration at the 2025

In addition to satisfying the requirements under the Bylaws, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company's nominees at the 2025 Annual Meeting must provide notice to the Company's Corporate Secretary no later than October 24, 2025 in accordance with Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act, also known as the universal proxy rule. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of the 2025 Annual Meeting, or the announcement thereof, commence a new time period for the giving of such notices. Such notices must also comply with all other requirements set forth in the Bylaws (which, in the case of proposed director nominations, also requires the information required by Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act), the Exchange Act, and other applicable laws.

**Insider Trading Arrangements and Policies**

We are committed to promoting high standards of ethical business conduct and compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. As part of this commitment, we have adopted our Policy Regarding Insider Trading governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by our directors, officers, employees and consultants that we believe is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and the exchange listing standards applicable to us.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia97a1b559a524b6da299dfd46f1cf62d_7)</u>

The business and affairs of PetMed Express, Inc. are managed by or under the direction of our Board of Directors which is the Company's ultimate decision-making body except with respect to those matters reserved to our shareholders. Our Board includes a majority of independent directors. Our Board reaffirms its accountability to shareholders through the shareholder election process. Our Board reviews and ratifies executive officer selection and compensation and monitors overall corporate performance and the integrity of our financial controls. Our Board also oversees our strategic and business planning processes.

**Shareholder Communications with the Board**

The Company provides an informal process for shareholders to send communications to our Board of Directors or specified individual directors or committees of the Board. Shareholders, who wish to communicate directly with our Board of Directors, or specified individual directors or committees of the Board, may do so in writing addressed to the Board of Directors, individual director or the committee of the Board c/o PetMed Express, Inc., 420 South Congress Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33445. Correspondence directed to an individual Board member is referred to that member. Correspondence not directed to a particular Board member or committee of the Board is referred to the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

**Director Resignation Policy for Uncontested Election of Directors** 

The Company's Bylaws currently provide for election of directors by a majority voting standard, under which each director nominee in an uncontested election must receive more "FOR" votes cast than "AGAINST" votes cast to be elected. Conversely, a director nominee in an uncontested election who does not receive more "FOR" votes cast than "AGAINST" votes cast would not be elected. Votes withheld, abstentions and broker non-votes will continue to have no effect on the outcome of an election. In the event that an incumbent director does not receive the requisite majority of votes cast in an uncontested election, the Company would follow a certain post-election resignation procedure (described below). In all contested director elections, in which a shareholder has duly nominated (and not withdrawn by a certain date) an individual for election to the Board, a plurality voting standard would apply. Under the post-election resignation procedure, any incumbent director who fails to receive the requisite number of votes for reelection in an uncontested election will be required to promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will then make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation, and the Board will make the ultimate decision as to whether to accept or reject the resignation by considering factors it deems relevant, such as the percentage of outstanding shares represented by the votes cast at the meeting, the director nominee's past and expected future contributions to the Company, the overall composition of the Board and committees of the Board, and whether accepting the tendered resignation would cause the Company to fail to meet any applicable rule or regulation (including the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") and the requirements of the federal securities laws). The Board will act on the resignation within 90 days following certification of the shareholder vote for the meeting and will promptly disclose its decision and rationale in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

**Policy with Regard to the Consideration of Director Candidate Recommendations by our Shareholders**

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has a policy pursuant to which it considers director candidates recommended by our shareholders. All director candidates recommended by our shareholders are considered for selection to the Board on the same basis as if such candidates were recommended by one or more of our directors or other sources. To recommend a director candidate for consideration by our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, a shareholder must submit the recommendation in writing to our Corporate Secretary not later than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days prior to the anniversary date of our proxy statement distributed to our shareholders in connection with our most recent annual meeting. The director candidate recommendation must provide the following information: (i) the name of the shareholder making the recommendation, (ii) the name of the candidate, (iii) the candidate's resume or a listing of his or her qualifications to be a director, (iv) the proposed candidate's written consent to being named as a nominee and to serving as one of our directors if elected, and (v) a description of all relationships, arrangements or understandings, if any, between the proposed candidate and the recommending shareholder and between the proposed candidate and us so that the candidate's independence may be assessed. The shareholder and or the director candidate also must provide any additional information requested by our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee to assist the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee in appropriately evaluating the candidate. In addition, our Bylaws provide that a shareholder, or a group of up to 20 shareholders, owning at least 3% of our outstanding shares continuously for at least three years, may nominate director nominees constituting up to the greater of 2 or 20% of the Company's Board that would be included in our proxy statement pursuant to our proxy access provisions. Nominating shareholders and nominees must satisfy the requirements set forth in our Bylaws, which can be found at https://s204.q4cdn.com/312753843/files/doc_downloads/governance/2025/05/PETS-Third-Amended-and-Restated-Bylaws-11-6-25.pdf.

**Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee**'**s Identification and Evaluation of Nominees for Director**

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for, among other things, identifying and evaluating potential director candidates, for reviewing the composition of the Board and the Board committees, and for making recommendations to the full Board of Directors on these matters. Throughout the year the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee actively engages in Board succession planning, taking into account the following considerations: (1) specific backgrounds, skills, and experiences represented by the current Board and the alignment of those attributes with our corporate strategy, (2) input from Board discussions and from the Board and Board committee evaluation process, (3) specific additional backgrounds, skills, and experiences which would add to the overall effectiveness and strategic contributions of the Board and Board committees; ,and (4) the future needs of the Board and Board committees in light of the corporate strategy, Board composition and tenure, and the skills and qualifications of directors who are expected to retire in the future.

Potential candidates may come to the attention of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee through recommendations made by current directors, shareholders, executives, or executive search firms retained by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee or other persons. Working closely with the full Board, and as part of the Board's program for director succession planning and director recruitment, using the Board Attributes Matrix, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will maintain and evaluate, at least annually, the Board composition based on directors' experience, qualifications, competencies, contributions, judgment, diversity of backgrounds, age, skills, ability to devote adequate time and energies to our Board's duties and application of our general criteria for director nominees set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in order to allow the Board to focus on identifying and attracting new members that would most benefit the Board at a particular point in time. Based on the recommendations of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, our Board of Directors is responsible for nominating members for election to our Board of Directors. Once a new director is elected by the shareholders or appointed by the Board of Directors, that new director will begin a director onboarding process. A tailored onboarding process enables new directors to learn our business and contribute to our Board immediately.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are reviewed by the Board at least annually and updated as necessary.

On a yearly basis, a reminder memo is sent to all Company directors, officers, and employees concerning the necessity for compliance with the provisions of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and all directors, officers, and employees are required to participate in annual Code of Business Conduct and Ethics training. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is a written standard designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote: honest and ethical conduct; ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest; full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in regulatory filings and public statements; compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations; protection of the Company's assets, including corporate opportunities and confidential information; the prompt reporting of violation of the code; and accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Our Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for each Board committee. All charters are available on our website at <u>www.petmeds.com</u> under the section "Investors" located at the bottom of the website page, and copies of each are also available without charge upon written request to the Corporate Secretary, PetMed Express, Inc., 420 South Congress Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33445 or by contacting our Investor Relations at 1-800-738-6337, or by email at <u>investor@petmeds.com</u>.

**Independent Directors and Meetings of our Independent Directors** 

Our Board of Directors has determined that each of the following current members of the Board of Directors is independent under the rules of NASDAQ and the SEC governing the independence of directors: Peter Batushansky, Gian M. Fulgoni, Justin Mennen, and Leah A. Solivan. Our independent directors meet in executive sessions without our non-independent directors or management of our Company present.

**Board Leadership Structure, Lead Independent Director, and Board**'**s Role in Risk Oversight**

On August 12, 2025, we announced a leadership transition under which, among other changes, Leslie C.G. Campbell, the Chair of our Board, was appointed to serve as our Interim Chief Executive Officer and President. Prior to this leadership transition, we had separated the offices of Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in order to enhance Board independence and oversight. In connection with our August 2025 leadership transition, our Board determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders for Ms. Campbell to continue to serve as Chair of the Board and for the Board to appoint another independent director as a Lead Independent Director. Accordingly, on August 11, 2025, Justin Mennen was appointed to serve as our Lead Independent Director. The responsibilities of the Lead Independent Director include (i) serving as primary intermediary between non-employee directors and management; (ii) advising the Chair of the Board as to the quality, quantity and timeliness of the information submitted by management to directors; (iii) recommending director candidates and selections for the membership and chair positions for each committee of the Board; and (iv) calling meetings of independent directors. The Board periodically reviews the leadership structure to determine whether it continues to best serve the Company and its shareholders.

Our Board of Directors, in conjunction with management, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the Company faces, while the Board of Directors, as a whole and through its committees, provides risk oversight. The Board of Directors regularly and continually receives information intended to apprise the Board of the strategic, operational, commercial, financial, legal, and compliance risks the Company faces. While the Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for oversight of the Company's risk management practices, the Audit, Compensation and Human Capital, and Corporate Governance and Nominating committees of the Board of Directors assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in certain areas of risk.

In particular, the Audit Committee focuses on (i) financial risk, including but not limited to internal controls, and the committee receives, reviews, and discusses regular reports from management and the external auditors concerning risk assessment, and (ii) oversight over cybersecurity risk, and the committee receives and provides feedback on regular updates from management regarding the overall state of the cybersecurity program, cybersecurity governance processes, roadmap status for initiatives to strengthen internal cybersecurity, information security system reviews, the results of security breach testing, and also discusses recent incidents throughout the industry and the emerging threat landscape. Our Compensation and Human Capital Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of risks arising from our compensation and human capital policies and programs. Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee focuses on the management of risks associated with Board organization, membership, structure,

succession planning for our directors and executive officers, and corporate governance. See 'Committees of the Board of Directors' for a full description of the oversight responsibilities of each committee.

**COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

**Overview** 

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee of our Board of Directors, composed entirely of independent directors, administers our executive compensation program. The role of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee is to oversee the administration of the Company's compensation and benefit plans and policies, to review the compensation of the executive officer(s) and directors, to administer our equity plans, to prepare any report on executive compensation required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, and generally to provide assistance to the Board of Directors on compensation matters.

The following discussion and analysis of compensation arrangements of our named executive officers should be read together with the compensation tables and related disclosures set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our named executive officers for the FY 2025 determined in accordance with SEC's disclosure rules were Sandra Campos, who served as our Chief Executive Officer and President from April 29, 2024 until August 11, 2025 ("CEO"); Robyn D'Elia, who served as our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer from September 11, 2024 until August 11, 2025 ("CFO"); Douglas Krulik, our interim Principal Financial Officer and current Chief Accounting Officer ("Interim CFO"); Mathew N. Hulett, who preceded Ms. Campos as our Chief Executive Officer and President ("Former CEO"); and Christine Chambers, who preceded Ms. D'Elia as our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary ("Former CFO"). We did not have any other executive officers during FY 2025.

As previously disclosed, during FY 2025, (1) we appointed Ms. Campos as our new Chief Executive Officer and President on April 29, 2024 and entered into an Employment Agreement with her (the "CEO Employment Agreement"); (2) we appointed Ms. D'Elia as our new Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer on September 11, 2024 and entered into an Employment Agreement with her (the "CFO Employment Agreement"); (3) we entered into a Transition and Separation Agreement with Mr. Hulett pursuant to which he resigned effective April 29, 2024; and (4) we entered into a Transition and Separation Agreement with Ms. Chambers pursuant to which she resigned in August 2024. In addition, on August 11,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia97a1b559a524b6da299dfd46f1cf62d_7)</u>

2025, we entered into Separation Agreements with each of Ms. Campos (the "Campos Separation Agreement") and Ms. D'Elia (the "D'Elia Separation Agreement") in connection with their resignations on that date. See "Employment Agreements and Other Agreements with the Fiscal Year 2025 Named Executive Officers" for a discussion of these arrangements. On August 11, 2025, our Board appointed Leslie C.G. Campbell as our interim Chief Executive Officer and President. We also appointed Mr. Krulik as our interim Principal Financial Officer from August 19, 2024 until September 16, 2024 and again on August 11, 2025.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current plans and expectations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that we adopt may differ materially from currently planned programs as summarized in this discussion.

**Compensation Philosophy**

The objective of our compensation programs, as it has been in prior years, is to attract, reward and retain top talent. Our compensation plans are designed to motivate and reward employees for achievement of positive corporate results and also to promote and enforce accountability. In determining the compensation arrangement of our executives, we are guided by the following key principles:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Attract and Retain Top Talent.* Our compensation arrangements should be sufficient to allow us to attract, retain, and motivate executives with the necessary skills and talent to successfully manage our business. In order to attract, retain, and motivate such executives, we seek to compensate our executives at levels that are consistent with or more attractive than other available opportunities in the respective executive's marketplace.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Promote Corporate Performance Accountability.* So that executive compensation is aligned with our business objectives and corporate performance, compensation is tied, in part, to financial performance of our business so that executives are held accountable through their compensation for contributions to our performance as a whole through the performance of the tasks for which they are responsible.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Promote Individual Performance Accountability.* So that executive officers who contribute to our operating and financial performance are rewarded and motivated, compensation is tied, in part, to the individual executive's performance to encourage and reflect individual contributions to corporate performance. Individual performance, as well as performance of the Company, and responsibility areas that an individual oversees, are factors in assessing a particular individual's performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Align Shareholder Interests.* Compensation is tied, in part, to our financial performance through the grant of long-term incentives under our equity plans, which help to align our executives' interests with those of our shareholders.

Compensation Consultant: The Compensation and Human Capital Committee has authority to retain and terminate a compensation consultant to assist in the evaluation of our CEO or senior executive compensation. During fiscal 2025, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee consulted with Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC, a nationally recognized third-party compensation consulting firm regarding compensation practices and programs, as well as overall industry compensation trends and dynamics, and executive pay for our CEO, and other executives, as well as compensation for non-executive independent directors. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee has assessed the independence of the compensation consulting firm considering the factors set forth in applicable SEC rules and the Listing Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC and has concluded no conflicts of interest were raised by the work performed by the compensation consultant.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes that our compensation programs should include short-term and long-term components, including cash and equity-based compensation, and should reward performance as measured against established goals. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee considers the total current and potential long-term compensation of each of our executive officers in establishing each element of compensation. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviews and recommends to the full Board of Directors the total compensation to be paid to our CEO, each year. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviews and recommends to the full Board of Directors on an annual basis the long-term incentives to be awarded to other executive officers and key employees. As part of this process, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviews benchmarking of the aggregate level of executive compensation, as well as the mix of elements used to compensate the executive officers. In addition, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee has historically taken into account publicly available data relating to the compensation practices and policies of other companies within and outside our industry.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia97a1b559a524b6da299dfd46f1cf62d_7)</u>

While benchmarking may not always be appropriate as a stand-alone tool for setting compensation due to the aspects of our business and objectives that may be unique to us, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee generally believes that gathering this information is an important part of our compensation-related decision-making process. At the request of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, a compensation benchmarking analysis had been conducted to assist in the determination of appropriate executive compensation for fiscal years including 2023, 2024 and 2025. The information gathered about the peer companies was as follows: industry, market capitalization, annual revenue, and annual earnings per share. The specific mix of elements of compensation that were benchmarked included: annual salary, bonuses, and stock-based compensation (which included stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units). Averages of each of the above categories were calculated. Our Company's data was then compared to the averages of the comparable companies' data.

The peer group for FY 2025 included the following sixteen (16) companies:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Medifast, Inc. | Nature's Sunshine Products, Inc. | GrowGeneration Corp. |
| CarParts.com, Inc. | The Honest Company, Inc. | LifeVantage Corporation |
| The RealReal, Inc. | ThredUp Inc. | Mannatech, Incorporated |
| Purple Innovation, Inc. | Weyco Group, Inc. | Natural Alternatives International, Inc. |
| Groupon, Inc. | Rent the Runway, Inc. | |
| BARK, Inc. | Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc. | |

---

The criteria used to determine the peer group included a multi-factor screen to identify companies that most closely align with PetMed Express, Inc. based on size, complexity, industry and operational attributes. Company size analysis included consideration of peers with revenue and market capitalization within a range of approximately 1/3x to 3x that of PetMed Express, Inc.

The CEO evaluates the performance of the other executive officer and key employees on an annual basis and makes recommendations to the Compensation and Human Capital Committee with respect to equity award grants pursuant to the Company's equity plans.

**Application of our Philosophy**

Our executive compensation program aims to encourage our management team to continually pursue our strategic opportunities while effectively managing the risks and challenges inherent to our business. In FY 2025 we maintained an executive compensation program which included a short-term component (annual cash compensation), specifically, base salary and bonus opportunity, and a long-term component, specifically, restricted stock units and performance stock units.

We believe that these components are appropriate to provide incentives to our senior management and reward them for achieving the following goals:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• develop a culture that embodies a passion for our Company, creative contribution, and a drive to achieve established goals and objectives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide leadership to our Company in such a way as to maximize the results of our business operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• lead us by demonstrating forward thinking in the operation, development, and expansion of our Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• effectively manage organizational resources to derive the greatest value possible from each dollar invested; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• take strategic advantage of the market opportunity to expand and grow our business.

Our executive compensation structure aims not only to compensate top talent at levels that our Board of Directors believes are consistent with or more attractive than other opportunities in an executive's marketplace, but also to be fair relative to compensation paid to other professionals within our organization, relative to our short- and long-term performance results and relative to the value we deliver to our shareholders. We seek to maintain a performance-oriented culture with a compensation approach that rewards our executive officers when we achieve our goals and objectives, while putting at risk an appropriate portion of their compensation against the possibility that our goals and objectives may not be

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia97a1b559a524b6da299dfd46f1cf62d_7)</u>

achieved. Overall, our approach is designed to relate the compensation of our executive officers to: the achievement of short- and long-term goals and objectives; their willingness to challenge and improve existing policies and structures; and their capability to take advantage of unique opportunities and overcome difficult challenges within our business.

**Components of our Executive Compensation Program**

**Annual Cash Compensation - Base Salary**

The purpose of base salary is to create a secure base of cash compensation for executives that is competitive with the market. Executives' salary levels and any increases are based upon a number of considerations, including the individual's tenure in the role, peer group data, the individual's current and sustained performance results and the methods utilized to achieve such results, and non-financial performance indicators to include strategic developments for which an executive has responsibility and managerial performance. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee exercises discretion in making salary decisions taking into account, among other things, each executive's performance goals and the Company's overall performance.

**Annual Incentive Plan**

In FY 2025, upon the recommendation of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, our Board of Directors adopted an Annual Incentive Plan, or AIP, that was designed to reward our CEO and CFO with a cash bonus for meeting or exceeding financial and other performance goals during a fiscal year. Our other employees were not eligible for an annual bonus for FY 2025. Under the AIP, we established a target bonus opportunity for both of our CEO and CFO for FY 2025 that was equal to the percentage of the executive's base salary that he or she would receive as a cash bonus if the AIP performance goals were achieved at target. However, the actual bonus received could have been higher or lower depending on the Company's level of achievement of the AIP financial performance goals. For FY 2025, our Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, established a bonus target opportunity of 100% of base salary for our CEO and 75% of base salary for our CFO, with payout amounts being weighted 60% on achievement of a pre-established revenue target and 40% on achievement of a pre-established adjusted EBITDA target. The lowest threshold bonus amount for our CEO and CFO was 50% of the target bonus (i.e., any achievement of payout metrics below that required to generate a 50% bonus payout yielded 0% bonus payout), and the maximum bonus amount was 200% of target for our CEO and 150% of target for our CFO. The Board and the Compensation and Human Capital Committee based these potential AIP amounts on peer company data, prior performance by the executive, tenure and role of the executive, and in arriving at these target bonus opportunity percentages, the Board drew upon the individual knowledge and experience of the Board and committee members with respect to executive pay decisions, and advise from our external compensation advisor.

The performance goals and actual achievement for FY 2025 under the AIP were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| Performance Measure (in thousands $) | Fiscal Year 2025 Goal | Fiscal Year 2025 Achievement | Weighting | % of Target Bonus Earned |
| Revenue | 290000 | 226972 | 60% | 0% |
| Adjusted EBITDA | 15700 | 672 | 40% | 0% |

---

In FY 2025, we also paid Ms. Chambers a discretionary "spot bonus" of $10,000 in recognition of her efforts on behalf of our company.

**Long-Term Incentive Compensation**

*Long-Term Incentives.* For FY 2025, our long-term incentives for our named executive officers consisted of restricted stock units and performance stock units.

Our long-term incentives for FY 2025 were granted under our Board- and shareholder-approved 2022 Employee Plan prior to our 2024 annual meeting of shareholders and under our Board- and shareholder-approved 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan after such annual meeting, except that Ms. D'Elia's initial equity grant described below was granted under our 2024 Inducement Incentive Plan.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia97a1b559a524b6da299dfd46f1cf62d_7)</u>

The purposes of the 2022 Employee Plan and the 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan include promoting the interests of the Company by securing and retaining employees of outstanding ability and providing additional motivation to such employees to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company. The Company expects that it will benefit from the added commitment that such employees will have to the welfare of the Company as a result of their ownership or increased ownership of the Company's common stock. All full-time employees were eligible to receive awards under the 2022 Employee Plan and the 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Beginning in FY 2024 and FY 2025, we commenced the grant of annual restricted stock units and performance stock units under the 2022 Employee Plan and the 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

*Fiscal Year 2025 Long-Term Incentives.* 

In connection with Ms. Campos' appointment as our Chief Executive Officer and President on April 29, 2024 and pursuant to the CEO Employment Agreement, Ms. Campos became entitled to equity grants as follows: On April 29, 2024, Ms. Campos received a grant of 483,092 restricted stock units that will vest in one-third increments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. She is also entitled to annual grants of restricted stock units and performance stock units having an aggregate value per grant of $750,000 for the annual restricted stock unit grant and $750,000 for the annual performance stock unit grant, with such value being calculated based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant but subject to a floor of $4.00 per share. Ms. Campos received her first such annual grant in January 2025. The impact of the Campos Separation Agreement on her long-term incentive awards is described below under ""Employment Agreements and Other Agreements with the Fiscal Year 2025 Named Executive Officers."

In connection with Ms. D'Elia's appointment as our Chief Financial Officer on September 11, 2024 and pursuant to the CFO Employment Agreement, Ms. D'Elia became entitled to equity grants as follows: On September 16, 2024, Ms. D'Elia received a grant of 250,000 restricted stock units that will vest in one-third increments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. For future fiscal years, she will be entitled to annual grants of a number of restricted stock units equal to $240,000 divided by the higher of (1) the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant and (2) $4.00 (the "Reference Price") and a number of performance stock units equal to $360,000 divided by the Reference Price. The impact of the D'Elia Separation Agreement on her long-term incentive awards is described below under ""Employment Agreements and Other Agreements with the Fiscal Year 2025 Named Executive Officers."

In connection with his entry into an offer letter setting forth the terms and conditions of his employment as our Chief Accounting Officer, Mr. Krulik received an initial equity award in respect of FY 2025 consisting of an award of 40,000 restricted stock units. The restricted stock units will vest in equal one-third increments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. The amount and form of Mr. Krulik's long-term incentive was determined based on Mr. Krulik's tenure and role.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For FY 2025, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee did not grant any additional equity-based awards to Mr. Hulett. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee recommended a grant to Ms. Chambers of 74,850 restricted stock units vesting ratably over three years. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee determined this amount and terms based on review of peer group data, performance factors, the tenure and role of Ms. Chambers, and the individual experience and knowledge of the members of the committee with respect to executive compensation matters. Ms. Chambers forfeited 37,425 of the restricted stock units in connection with her termination of employment in August 2024.

**Perquisites and Other Compensation Benefits**

Consistent with our compensation philosophy, we intend to continue to maintain benefits for our executive officers, which are also generally available to employees, including life and health (medical, dental, and vision) insurance, medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts, paid time off, and 401(k) matching contributions. In general, we do not view perquisites as a significant component of our executive compensation structure; however, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee in its discretion may revise, amend, or add to officers' executive benefits.

During FY 2025, we provided no executive-only perquisites or other personal benefits to our named executive officers other than paying the employee responsible portion of health insurance.

**Stock Ownership Guidelines**

In order to encourage ownership by our named executive officers and non-employee directors to have an equity interest as owners of the Company, our Board of Directors has adopted minimum stock ownership guidelines for our named executive officers and non-employee members of our Board of Directors (collectively, "Covered Persons"). These

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia97a1b559a524b6da299dfd46f1cf62d_7)</u>

stock ownership guidelines are intended to align the financial interests of the Covered Persons with our shareholders by requiring them to acquire and maintain a meaningful ownership interest in our common stock at levels sufficient to assure our shareholders of their commitment to long-term value creation. Under our stock ownership guidelines, Covered Persons are required to acquire and hold shares of our common stock with a value at least equal to the following multiple of their annual base salary or Board cash retainer, as applicable, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• CEO - five times annual base salary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other named executive officers - two times annual base salary; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• non-employee members of Board of Directors - five times annual Board cash retainer.

Covered Persons have five years from the effective date of the stock ownership guidelines or, if later, from commencement of service as a Covered Person to achieve compliance with the applicable guideline. Thereafter, compliance is assessed annually on March 31st of each year. Once the ownership requirement is met, the ownership guideline will automatically be converted from a multiple of base salary or Board cash retainer, as applicable, to the total number of shares required for that individual to meet the ownership guideline, and the Covered Person must continue to hold at least that number of shares until leaving his or her position with the Company. The value of shares and share equivalents is determined using the 30-day average closing trading price of our common stock prior to the applicable measurement date. Until the Covered Person satisfies the ownership requirement, he or she is required to hold 100% of the net shares acquired thereafter as a result of the exercise, vesting or settlement of any equity award received from the Company. The Board of Directors may waive or change the holding requirements in the case of extraordinary circumstances to be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. From time to time the Board of Directors will consider and may reset the level of common stock ownership that it considers appropriate for the guideline.

As of March 31, 2025 and as of the date of this Annual Report on Forn 10-K, all of our then-serving named executive officers and non-employee directors either met the applicable ownership threshold or were within the permitted time period to attain the required ownership.

**Executive Compensation Recovery Policy (Clawback)** 

Accountability is a fundamental value of the Company. To reinforce this value through our executive compensation program, our executive officers and members of our senior leadership team ("Covered Officer(s)") are subject to a strong 'no fault' Executive Compensation Recovery Policy ("Clawback Policy"). In accordance with the terms of our Clawback Policy, our Compensation and Human Capital Committee, which oversees and administers the Clawback Policy, will seek to recover certain excess incentive based compensation in the event of an accounting Restatement, as defined under and pursuant to the recently approved incentive-based compensation recovery provisions of Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the Nasdaq listing rules. Our Compensation and Human Capital Committee may also seek recovery of any incentive compensation awarded during a period where a Covered Officer (i) committed a significant legal or compliance violation, irrespective of whether such violation occurred in connection with a restatement ("Misconduct") or (ii) was aware of or willfully blind to Misconduct that occurred in an area over which the Covered Officer had supervisory authority. This summary of the Clawback Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such policy, which has been filed as Exhibit 97.1 to our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies**

The Board believes that it is important to align the interests of the Company's directors and executive officers with those of the Company's shareholders and considers it inappropriate for directors and executive officers of the Company to engage in speculative transactions in the Company's securities. Our Policy Regarding Insider Trading prohibits our directors, officers, and employees from entering into any transaction designed to hedge or having the effect of hedging (including derivative transactions) the economic risk of owning the Company's securities. Examples of transactions that fall within this prohibition include trading in options, puts, calls and other similar instruments related to Company securities. In addition, directors, officers, and employees of the Company are prohibited from engaging in short sales (i.e., selling securities the directors, officers and employees of the Company do not own) of Company securities. Regardless of any other provision of this Company policy, the prohibitions set forth therein are not eligible for the granting of an exception.

Securities held in a margin account as collateral for a margin loan may be sold by the broker without the customer's consent if the customer fails to meet a margin call. Similarly, securities pledged as collateral for a loan may be sold in foreclosure if the borrower defaults on the loan. Because a margin sale or foreclosure sale may occur at a time when the pledgor is aware of material nonpublic information or otherwise not permitted to trade in the Company's securities,

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia97a1b559a524b6da299dfd46f1cf62d_7)</u>

directors, officers, and employees of the Company are prohibited from holding the Company's securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging the Company's securities as collateral for a loan.

**Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information**

During FY 2025, we did not grant stock options or similar awards having option-like features ("similar awards") as part of our equity compensation programs. If we grant stock options or similar awards in the future, we anticipate that our policy will be not to grant stock options or similar awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information that is likely to result in changes to the price of our common stock, such as a significant positive or negative earnings announcement. In addition, we do not anticipate granting stock options or similar awards during periods in which there is material nonpublic information about our company, including during "blackout" periods or outside a "trading window" established in connection with the public release of earnings information under our insider trading policy. To the contrary, we anticipate that our Board of Directors would grant any stock options or similar awards on a predetermined schedule without taking into account material nonpublic information in determining either the time or terms of such awards. Our executive officers will not be permitted to choose the grant date for their individual stock option grants, if any are granted. We have not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

**Privacy and Cybersecurity (Governance Practices)**

We have an enterprise-wide information security program designed to assess, identify, and manage the Company's information security risks and identify, evaluate, respond to and resolve information security incidents. To protect our information systems from information security incidents, we use various processes and tools to identify, prevent, detect, escalate, investigate, resolve and recover from identified vulnerabilities and threats. These include, but are not limited to, reporting, monitoring and detection tools that are widely used in the industry, and internal solutions. We have an enterprise-wide Incident Response Policy and Incident Response Procedure, which is regularly reviewed and updated, that outlines the various points and detailed processes and procedures to be followed when a suspected incident is identified.

The Company's Board of Directors, as a whole, has oversight responsibility for our strategic and operational risks. The Audit Committee of the Board is responsible for board-level oversight of cybersecurity risk, and the Audit Committee regularly reports risks and compliance actions to the Board. As part of its' oversight role, the Audit Committee receives reports about the Company's strategy, programs, incidents and threats, and other developments and action items. These action items include receiving updates on the status of remediation efforts for any non-compliance or risk items related to cybersecurity regularly throughout the year, including through periodic updates from management.

All of the awards made to our Named Executive Officers during FY 2025 were time-vesting restricted stock units vesting ratably over three years except that Ms. Campos also was granted 146,772 performance stock units that would be earned if applicable performance goals were achieved. The grant date fair value of the performance stock units included in the table above is based on the probable outcome of the performance goals using a Monte Carlo simulation method. The grant date fair value of the performance stock units assuming the achievement of the maximum level of performance goals was $510,000.

(5)The amount reported for FY 2025 in the All Other Compensation column (column (i)) reflects payments related to health insurance coverage.

The Company cautions that the amounts reported in the Fiscal Year 2025 Summary Compensation Table for Stock Awards (column (e)) reflect the grant date fair value and may not represent the amounts that the Named Executive Officers will actually realize from the awards. Whether, and to what extent, a Named Executive Officer realizes value will depend on the Company's actual operating performance, stock price fluctuations, and the Named Executive Officer's continued

The employment agreement provided for an initial employment term of three years and for automatic renewal for successive one year terms thereafter unless either party were to provide notice of non renewal at least 60 days prior to the end of the then-current term. As provided in the employment agreement, Ms. Campos would serve the Company on a full-time basis and will receive an annual base salary of $550,000, which could be increased in the discretion of the Board (but could not be decreased other than as part of a proportionate reduction in management salaries and wages applicable to all senior management). Ms. Campos received a signing bonus of $120,000, which was subject to repayment if Ms. Campos left the Company within one year under circumstances detailed in the employment agreement. Ms. Campos was also entitled to receive customary expense reimbursement (in accordance with the Company's standard policies) and the medical, health, and other benefits provided to Company employees generally, including participation in the Company's 401(k) plan, on the same basis as other employees generally. The employment agreement provided that Ms. Campos would be eligible to receive an annual performance bonus based on annual performance goals determined by the Board, with a target annual bonus of 100% of Ms. Campos' base salary and a maximum bonus of 200% of base salary. The agreement included customary restrictive covenants, including confidentiality and non-solicitation covenants and a one-year post-employment non-compete restriction.

Under the employment agreement, Ms. Campos was entitled to equity grants under the Company's current or future equity plan, as follows: on April 29, 2024, Ms. Campos received a grant of restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the Company's 2022 Employee Plan for 483,092 shares (RSUs equal to $2.0 million divided by the closing price of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the date of grant). Such RSUs were scheduled to vest in one-third increments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant so long as Ms. Campos continued to be employed by the Company on each vesting date, and such RSUs otherwise contained the standard provisions for RSU grants by the Company. Thereafter, Ms. Campos was entitled to annual grants of RSUs and performance stock units ("PSUs") having an aggregate value per grant of $750,000 for the annual RSU grant and $750,000 for the annual PSU grant, with such value being calculated based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant but subject to a floor of $4.00 per share. The RSUs included in any such annual grants would vest in the same manner as the initial RSU grant, and the PSUs would have a 3-year performance period and such performance goals and other terms determined by the Board.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia97a1b559a524b6da299dfd46f1cf62d_7)</u>

The employment agreement provided that Ms. Campos' employment could be terminated by either the Company or Ms. Campos at any time prior to the scheduled expiration date of the agreement, subject to notice requirements and subject to certain potential severance payment obligations based on the nature of the termination.

The Campos Separation Agreement also provides that the Company will, to the extent not already vested, accelerate the vesting of a pro-rata portion of the restricted stock units previously awarded to her (calculated based on the number of days during the full vesting period of each such award during which Ms. Campos was employed by the Company). All other restricted stock units and performance stock units will be forfeited. The Campos Separation Agreement provides that Ms. Campos' employment agreement with the Company was terminated effective immediately, subject to continuation of certain covenants (including restrictive covenants) by Ms. Campos.

Thereafter, Ms. D'Elia was entitled to annual grants of RSUs and PSUs consisting of a number of RSUs equal to $240,000 divided by the Reference Price and a number of PSUs equal to $360,000 divided by the Reference Price. The RSUs included in any such annual grants would vest in the same manner as the initial RSU grant, and the PSUs would vest if the PSU performance goals as determined by the Board were achieved, and would be earned over a three-year performance period.

The CFO Employment Agreement provided that Ms. D'Elia's employment could be terminated by either the Company or Ms. D'Elia at any time prior to the scheduled expiration date of the agreement, subject to notice requirements and

If such termination of employment were to occur during the 12-month period following a "Change of Control" (as defined in the CFO Employment Agreement), then Ms. D'Elia would have been entitled to receive, contingent on delivery of a general release to the Company, severance compensation in the form of continuation of her base salary in effect at the time of termination and reimbursement for COBRA premiums for a period of 12 months after termination, she would also have been eligible for a pro rata cash payment based on the achievement of performance goals related to her annual bonus opportunity as determined by the Board and accelerated vesting of all unvested RSUs then held by her, and vesting of unvested PSUs then held by her in the manner specified in the CFO Employment Agreement.

The employment agreement provided that Ms. Chambers would receive an annual base salary of $375,000, subject to periodic review for increases with the approval of the Board of Directors, and would be eligible to participate in the standard employee benefit plans generally available to executives and employees of the Company, including health insurance, life and disability insurance, restricted stock under the Company's equity compensation plan(s), 401(k) plan, and paid time off and paid holidays. Ms. Chambers also received pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement a one-time sign-on bonus in the amount of $50,000, which was subject to pro-rata repayment if Ms. Chambers terminated employment with the Company within the first twelve months of employment. In addition, the Company would reimburse Ms. Chambers for her documented business expenses incurred in connection with her employment pursuant to the Company's standard reimbursement expense policy and practices. The provisions of Ms. Chambers' employment agreement relating to termination of employment are described below under "Potential Payments on Termination and/or Change of Control."

On August 3, 2022, Ms. Chambers received an award of 13,000 shares of restricted stock under the Company's 2016 Employee Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan ("2016 Employee Plan"), which stock restrictions would lapse pro rata on each of August 3, 2023, August 3, 2024, and August 3, 2025, which were subject to forfeiture in the event of termination of employment (except as provided in the restricted stock agreement).

On August 3, 2022, Ms. Chambers also received an award of 3,000 shares of performance restricted stock under the 2016 Employee Plan, which performance restricted shares were subject to vesting based on the attainment of performance criteria equally weighted between adjusted EBITDA and revenue during the fiscal year 2023, which performance restricted stock was forfeited pursuant to the terms of the performance criteria set forth in the award.

On June 15, 2023, Ms. Chambers was granted 11,750 RSUs under the 2022 Employee Plan subject to time-based vesting, of which 3,750 of the RSUs were awarded in recognition of Ms. Chambers' contributions during fiscal year 2023 and of which the remaining 8,000 were part of the equity award cycle for fiscal year 2024. The RSUs were scheduled to vest in one-third increments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to Ms. Chambers' continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Ms. Chambers resigned for "Good Reason" (as defined in the RSU award agreement) or was terminated without cause prior to the vesting of the RSUs, a pro rata portion of the unvested RSUs that would have otherwise vested at the end of year of termination would become vested upon termination.

Also on June 15, 2023, Ms. Chambers received a grant of 8,000 PSUs. The PSUs were based on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the S&P 600 Specialty Retail Index ("Index") over an overall three-year performance period consisting of the 2024 through 2026 fiscal years, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● 100% of the target number of shares, which was 8,000 shares, would be earned if the Company's TSR is equal to or greater than the 75<sup>th</sup> percentile of the Index (the "maximum target payout");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● 50% of the target number of shares, which was 4,000 shares, would be earned if the Company's TSR is equal to at least the 50<sup>th</sup> percentile of the Index;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● 25% of the target number of shares, which was 2,000 shares, would be earned if the Company's TSR is equal to at least the 25<sup>th</sup> percentile of the Index (the "minimum threshold");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● No shares would be earned if the TSR was less than the 25th percentile of the Index, and the payout would be capped at 2,000 shares if absolute TSR is negative, regardless of relative position to the Index; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Linear scaling would be used to determine the number of shares earned for performance between the maximum target payout level and the minimum threshold payout level.

With certain exceptions (such as death and disability), the PSUs would be forfeited if Ms. Chambers ceases to be employed before the end of the performance period.

On May 31, 2024, we entered into a Transition and Separation Agreement with Ms. Chambers pursuant to which we and Ms. Chambers agreed to the mutual termination of her employment following a transition period. Under the terms of the agreement, Ms. Chambers continued to serve as our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, and Treasurer on a full-time basis for a transition period that ended in August 2024. The agreement provided that, during the transition period, Ms. Chambers would continue to receive her current base salary and benefits, and upon the completion of the transition period and contingent on Ms. Chambers' complying with the terms of the agreement, we would accelerate the vesting of all unvested restricted shares and restricted stock units that were originally scheduled to vest on or before August 3, 2025. Under the agreement, 3,917 of the restricted stock units and the 8,000 performance stock units granted to Ms. Chambers in fiscal year 2024 were deemed forfeited on May 31, 2024.

**Mathew N. Hulett, Former Chief Executive Officer and President**

During FY 2025, the Company had in effect an employment agreement with Mr. Hulett, our former chief executive officer and president. The employment agreement was for an initial term of three years commencing on August 30, 2021 and would automatically renew for successive one year terms, or for longer periods as mutually agreed upon by the parties, unless the employment agreement were to be expressly cancelled by either Mr. Hulett or the Company 60 days prior to the end of the then current term or if it were otherwise terminated as provided in the agreement. The employment agreement provided that Mr. Hulett would receive an annual base salary of $500,000, subject to periodic review for increases with the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia97a1b559a524b6da299dfd46f1cf62d_7)</u>

approval of the Board, and would be eligible to participate in the standard employee benefit plans generally available to executives and employees of the Company, including health insurance, life and disability insurance, restricted stock under the Company's equity compensation plan(s), 401(k) plan, and paid time off and paid holidays. The employment agreement also provided that the Company would reimburse Mr. Hulett for his documented business expenses incurred in connection with his employment pursuant to the Company's standard reimbursement expense policy and practices.

On April 29, 2024, the Company and Mr. Hulett entered into a Transition and Separation Agreement pursuant to which Mr. Hulett resigned as chief executive officer and president, and also as a director, of the Company effective April 29, 2024 (the "Separation Agreement"). Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Hulett remained employed by the Company through May 10, 2024 to assist the Company in transition matters, and the Company paid Mr. Hulett severance compensation thereafter in the form of the continuation of his base salary and reimbursement of COBRA premiums through August 30, 2024, which was the scheduled expiration date of his employment agreement. The Separation Agreement also provided that the Company would accelerate the vesting of Mr. Hulett's remaining unvested shares of restricted stock (consisting of 30,000 shares) previously granted under a Restricted Stock Agreement between the Company and Mr. Hulett. Mr. Hulett agreed to a general release and waiver of claims against the Company as a condition receiving the foregoing amounts, and he agreed to provide the Company, on an as-needed and as-requested basis, such consulting services as the Company may from time to time reasonably request, up to a maximum of five hours during each calendar week, through August 30, 2024.

**Douglas Krulik, interim Principal Financial Officer (served August 19, 2024 to September 16, 2024; appointed again on August 11, 2025)**

On July 23, 2024, the Company entered into an offer letter ("Offer Letter") with Mr. Krulik to set forth the terms and conditions of Mr. Krulik's employment as Chief Accounting Officer of the Company. Mr. Krulik will receive an annual base salary of $300,000, he will be entitled to participate in the Company's current employee benefit plans and programs, including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and he will be eligible to receive annual equity awards under the Company's equity incentive plans as in effect from time to time. Mr. Krulik received an initial equity award on September 27, 2024 in respect of FY 2025 consisting of an award of 40,000 RSUs. Such RSUs will vest in equal one-third increments on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the grant date. Mr. Krulik will be entitled to severance benefits in the event the Company terminates his employment other than for Cause (as defined in the Offer Letter) within his first full year of employment, consisting of six months of severance pay at his base salary at the time of termination.

**Potential Payments on Termination and/or Change of Control**

This section describes the payments and other benefits that would have been provided to Ms. Campos, Ms. D'Elia or Mr. Krulik upon termination or change of control of the Company pursuant to and as described in their respective employment agreements that were in effect as of the end of FY 2025, as described under "Employment Agreements and Other Agreements with the Fiscal Year 2025 Named Executive Officers." Because the employment of Mr. Hulett and Ms. Chambers terminated prior to the end of FY 2025, we have only disclosed the payments and benefits they actually received in connection with their employment terminations. The compensation and other benefits that Ms. Campos and Ms. D'Elia received following their resignations after the end of FY 2025 under their Separation Agreements are described above under "Employment Agreements and Other Agreements with the Fiscal Year 2025 Named Executive Officers."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The table below provides estimates for compensation that would have been payable to Ms. Campos, Ms. D'Elia and Mr. Krulik under hypothetical termination of employment and change of control scenarios under our compensatory arrangements other than nondiscriminatory arrangements generally available to salaried employees as they were in effect on March 31, 2025. Due to the number of factors and assumptions that can affect the nature and amount of any benefits provided upon the events discussed below, any amounts paid or distributed upon an actual event may differ.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of the hypothetical payment estimates shown in the below table, some of the important assumptions were:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Named Executive Officers' ("NEOs'") rate of base salary as of March 31, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Change of control occurring on March 31, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Termination of the NEO's employment occurring on March 31, 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A price per share of $4.19, which was the closing price of our common stock on March 31, 2025, the final trading day of fiscal year 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each of the columns in the table below show the total hypothetical payment estimate upon a specified event occurring on March 31, 2025, and the amounts in the columns should not be aggregated across the table.

(1) For purposes of this table, an involuntary termination consists of our termination of the NEO's employment without cause or, in the case of Ms. Campos or Ms. D'Elia, a resignation with good reason.

(2) For purposes of this table, an involuntary termination within 12 months after a change of control consists of our termination of the NEO's employment without cause or, in the case of Ms. Campos and Ms. D'Elia, a resignation with good reason. The equity acceleration values assume full acceleration upon a change of control or a simultaneous qualifying termination of employment and a change of control.

The actual benefits Mr. Hulett and Ms. Chambers received in connection with their separations from employment during FY 2025 are described under "Employment Agreements and Other Agreements with the Fiscal Year 2025 Named Executive Officers." The compensation and other benefits that Ms. Campos and Ms. D'Elia received following their resignations after the end of FY 2025 under their Separation Agreements are described above under "Employment Agreements and Other Agreements with the Fiscal Year 2025 Named Executive Officers."

**Non-Compete and Non-Disclosure Agreements**

Ms. Campos, who was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer in April 2024, Ms. D'Elia, who was appointed as our Chief Financial Officer in September 2024, Mr. Krulik, who served as our interim Principal Financial Officer from August 19, 2024 to September 16, 2024, Ms. Chambers, who served as our Chief Financial Officer from August 2022 to August 2024 , and Mr. Hulett, who served as our chief executive officer from August 2021 to April 2024, are each subject to restrictive covenants regarding non-disclosure, non-compete and non-solicitation with the Company. Each executive agreed to keep in confidence any and all confidential business information the executive becomes aware of or learns or to which he/she has access during his/her employment with the Company which has not been publicly disclosed and is not a matter of common knowledge. Each executive also agreed that upon termination of employment, each will not, for a period of one (1) year after such termination, either directly or indirectly, as a principal, officer, director, proprietor, employee, contractor, partner, investor (apart from owning stock in any publicly traded corporation so long as such ownership does not exceed five percent (5%) of the total value of the outstanding stock of such corporation), advisor, agent, representative or other participant engage in any business that is in actual or prospective competition with the Company, solicit or otherwise attempt to induce or solicit, or in any other manner influence, any employee, vendor or prospective vendor of the Company to terminate or modify his/her/its relationship with the Company, or solicit or otherwise attempt to induce or solicit, or in any other manner influence, any customer or prospective customer of the Company.

**Limitation on Liability and Indemnification Matters**

Our Bylaws contain provisions that limit the liability of our directors and executive officers for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the Florida Business Corporation Act, and requires us to indemnify our directors and executive officers made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she serves or served in such capacity at our request to the maximum extent not prohibited by the Florida Business Corporation Act or any other applicable law and allow us to indemnify other officers, employees, and other agents as set forth in the Florida Business Corporation Act or any other applicable law.

We have entered, and intend to continue to enter, into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our Bylaws and other applicable law. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify our directors and executive officers for certain expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, penalties, fines, and settlement amounts actually and reasonably incurred by such person in any action or proceeding arising out of their services to us, or any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request, including liability arising out of negligence or active or passive wrongdoing by the officer or director. We believe that these Bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. We also maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance, including dedicated Side A coverage.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, executive officers or persons controlling us, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

**CEO Pay Ratio**

In accordance with SEC rules, we are providing the ratio for FY 2025 of the annualized FY 2025 total compensation of Ms. Campos, who was serving as our CEO on March 31, 2025, which was the determination date we used to identify our median employee, to the annual total compensation of our median employee, excluding the CEO, as determined under Item 402 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act ("Regulation S-K"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of our Company (other than the CEO) was $35,319; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the annual total compensation of the CEO was $3,949,232 (annualized as described below).

Because two individuals served as our CEO during FY 2025, consistent with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, we have elected to calculate our CEO's annual total compensation for purposes of the CEO pay ratio by annualizing the compensation of Ms. Campos, who began serving as our CEO on April 29, 2024, as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Component** | **FY 2025 SCT Amount** | **Annualized Amount** |
| Salary | $496969 | $550000 |
| Bonus | $120000 | $120000 |
| Stock awards | $3260006 | $3260006 |
| All other compensation | $17624 | $19226 |
| Total | $3894599 | $3949232 |

---

Based on this information, for FY 2025, the ratio of the annual total compensation of the CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all other employees was 112:1. We believe this ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. As permitted by SEC rules, to identify our median employee, we selected total direct compensation as our consistently applied compensation measure, which we calculated as actual salary paid to our employees for FY 2025 (including overtime for hourly employees), actual bonus or sales commission earned by our employees in FY 2025, and the value of equity awards granted to our employees in FY 2025.

For any full time employees who were hired during FY 2025, an estimated amount was used based on their hourly rate or annual salary. Further, we used March 31, 2025 as the date on which to determine our employee population and used the consistently applied compensation measure as described above to determine our median employee. In determining this population, we included all full-time and part-time employees other than the CEO. We did not include any contractors or workers employed through a third-party provider in our employee population. Based on this approach, we selected the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#ia97a1b559a524b6da299dfd46f1cf62d_7)</u>

individual who represented the median employee. We then calculated the annual total compensation for this individual using the same methodology we used for our Named Executive Officers in our Fiscal Year 2025 Summary Compensation Table.

**2025 Pay versus Performance Disclosure**

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between "compensation actually paid" to our CEO and to our other NEOs and certain financial performance of the Company regarding fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 Compensation actually paid, as determined under SEC requirements, does not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our executive officers during a covered year. For further information concerning the Company's pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company's performance, refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

<sup>4.</sup> In accordance with SEC rules, the Company is required to include in the Pay versus Performance table the "most important" financial performance measure (as determined by the Company) used to link compensation actually paid to our executive officer to company performance for the most recently completed fiscal year. The Company determined Company stock price, which is a metric included in our incentive program, meets this requirement and therefore, we have included this performance measure in the Pay versus Performance table.

**Description of the Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid to our Named Executive Officers and Company Performance**

The charts below describe the relationship between compensation actually paid to our chief executive officer and to our other Named Executive Officers (as calculated above) and our financial and stock performance for the indicated years. In addition, the first table below compares our cumulative TSR and peer group cumulative TSR for the indicated years.

**Company's Most Important Financial Performance Measures**

The following are the most important financial performance measures, as determined by the Company, that link compensation actually paid to our NEOs to the Company's performance for the most recently completed fiscal year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Stock Price

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue

**Tax Deductibility**

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, limits the amount that we may deduct from our federal income taxes for compensation paid to certain executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, to $1.0 million per executive officer per year.

While our Compensation and Human Capital Committee is mindful of the benefit to us of the full tax deductibility of compensation, our Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes that it should not be constrained by the requirements of Section 162(m) where those requirements would impair flexibility in compensating our Named Executive Officers in a manner that can best promote our corporate objectives. Therefore, our Compensation and Human Capital Committee may approve compensation that may not be fully deductible because of the limits of Section 162(m). Our Compensation and Human Capital Committee intends to continue to compensate our Named Executive Officers in a manner it believes is consistent with the best interests of our Company and our shareholders.

**Stock-Based Incentives Throughout Our Workforce**

We grant equity-based compensation in accordance with our 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan and 2024 Inducement Incentive Plan, and previously under our 2015 Director Plan, 2016 Employee Plan, and 2022 Employee Plan, as part of

**Fiscal Year 2025 Grants of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information**

During FY 2025, none of our Named Executive Officers were awarded options with an effective grant date during any period beginning four business days before the filing or furnishing of a Form 10-Q, Form 10-K, or Form 8-K that disclosed material nonpublic information, and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such reports.

**Compensation and Human Capital Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation**

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, Leslie C.G. Campbell, Sandra Y. Campos (through April 29, 2024), Gian M. Fulgoni (through May_16, 2024), Diana Garvis Purcel, and Leah A. Solivan (appointed June 25, 2024), served on the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, and none of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee members serving at the time had ever been an officer or employee of the Company or of any of our subsidiaries, and none of our executive officers have served on the compensation committee or board of directors of any company of which any of our directors is an executive officer. Accordingly, insiders do not participate in compensation decisions.

**ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE**

Our Board's policy requires that transactions with related parties must be entered into in good faith on fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to the Company than those that would be available in a comparable transaction in arm's-length dealings with an unrelated third party. We have adopted written Related Party Transaction Policies and Procedures to comply with Item 404 of Regulation S-K, under which our executive officers, directors, nominees for election as a director, beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of our common stock, and any members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons are not permitted to enter into a related-party transaction with us without the approval of our Board. The Audit Committee of our Board is responsible for the review and recommendation to the Board for approval of all related party transactions. In connection with its review of a related party transaction, the Audit Committee takes into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances, and the extent of the related party's interest in the related party transaction. A related party is not deemed to have a direct or indirect material interest in a transaction and such transaction is not a related party transaction under our policy if such related party's interest in such transaction arises only from an ownership interest of less than one percent in, or as a director of, such entity that is a party to the transaction.

Our Board, by a vote of the disinterested directors, must approve all related party transactions that are recommended by the Audit Committee. Since the beginning of the Company's last fiscal year, the Company has not had, or been a party to, nor is there currently proposed, a transaction with a related party.

We have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements and our Bylaws require us to indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law.

## Exhibit 4.2

Exhibit 4.2

**DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY**'**S SECURITIES REGISTERED**

**PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934**

The following is a brief description of the common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), and Preferred Stock Purchase Rights PetMed Express, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company"), which is the only security of the Company registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

**Description of Common Stock**

**General**

The following descriptions of our Common Stock and of certain provisions of Florida law do not purport to be complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to our amended and restated articles of incorporation, our amended and restated bylaws and the Florida Business Corporation Act, as amended (the "Florida Act"). The Company has authorized 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock of which as of September 30, 2025, 21,015,559 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding. All of our outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Our Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "PETS."

**Common Stock**

Holders of the Common Stock have no pre-emptive, redemption, subscription or conversion rights. Each outstanding share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company's shareholders. Subject to the dividend rights of the holders of any outstanding preferred stock, each share of Common Stock is entitled to participate equally with respect to dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. In the case of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, distribution or sale of assets, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive a pro rata share of the amount distributed after provisions for payment of all debts, other liabilities and any liquidation preferences of outstanding preferred stock. The Florida Act also may affect the terms of these securities.

**Limitations on Rights of Holders of Common Stock** – **Preferred Stock**

The rights of holders of Common Stock may be materially limited or qualified by the rights of holders of preferred stock that we may issue in the future. Set forth below is a description of the Company's authority to issue preferred stock and the possible terms of that stock.

Our amended and restated articles of incorporation authorizes our board of directors, without further shareholder action, to provide for the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share, in one or more series, and to fix the designations, preferences, conversion rights, cumulative, relative, participating, optional or other rights, including voting rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions, redemption and liquidation preferences of each of these series. Of the preferred stock, 250,000 shares have been designated Convertible Preferred Stock of which as of October 14, 2025, 2,500 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding. We may amend from time to time our amended and restated articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock. Any such amendment would require the approval of the holders of a majority of our shares of Common Stock entitled to vote.

**Shareholder Action by Written Consent and Special Meeting**

Our amended and restated bylaws provide for action by our shareholders without a meeting with the written consent of shareholders holding the number of shares necessary to approve such action if it were taken at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present. Our amended and restated bylaws also provide that shareholder action can be taken at an annual meeting of the shareholders or at a special meeting which may be called, for any purpose or purposes, by the board of directors or the person or persons authorized to do so by the board of directors and must be called by the Secretary if the holders of not less than ten percent of all votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at such special meeting sign, date and deliver to the Secretary one or more written demands for a special meeting, describing the purpose or purposes for which it is to be held.

------

**Authorized but Unissued Shares** 

Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without shareholder approval, subject to the requirements of applicable law or regulation, including any listing requirement of the principal stock exchange on which our Common Stock is then listed. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of a majority of our Common Stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

**Board Authority to Amend Bylaws**

Under our amended and restated bylaws, our board of directors has the authority to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws without the approval of our shareholders unless the Florida Act reserves the power to amend a particular bylaw provision exclusively to the shareholders.

**Certain Anti-Takeover provisions of Florida Law and our Bylaws**

*Florida Business Corporation Act*

We are subject to certain anti-takeover provisions that apply to public corporations under Florida law. Pursuant to Section 607.0901 of the Florida Act, a publicly held Florida corporation may not engage in a broad range of business combinations or other extraordinary corporate transactions with an "interested shareholder" without the approval of the holders of two-thirds of the voting shares of such corporation (excluding shares held by the interested shareholder), unless:

 ● the transaction is approved by a majority of disinterested directors before the shareholder becomes an interested shareholder;

●  the interested shareholder has owned at least 80% of the corporation's outstanding voting shares for at least five years preceding the announcement date of any such business combination;

●  the interested shareholder is the beneficial owner of at least 90% of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, exclusive of shares acquired directly from the corporation in a transaction not approved by a majority of the disinterested directors; or

 ● the consideration paid to the holders of the corporation's voting stock is at least equal to certain fair price criteria.

An "interested shareholder" is defined as a person who together with affiliates and associates beneficially owns more than 10% of a corporation's outstanding voting shares. We have not made an election in our amended and restated articles of incorporation to opt out of Section 607.0901.

In addition, we are subject to Section 607.0902 of the Florida Act which prohibits the voting of shares in a publicly held Florida corporation that are acquired in a "control share acquisition" unless (i) our board of directors approved such acquisition prior to its consummation or (ii) after such acquisition, in lieu of prior approval by our board of directors, the holders of a majority of the corporation's voting shares, exclusive of shares owned by officers of the corporation, employee directors or the acquiring party, approve the granting of voting rights as to the shares acquired in the control share acquisition. A "control share acquisition" is defined as an acquisition that immediately thereafter entitles the acquiring party to 20% or more of the total voting power in an election of directors.

These statutory provisions may prevent takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for shares of our common stock.

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)

*Advance Notice of Shareholder Proposals or Nominations*

Our amended and restated bylaws provide that shareholders at an annual meeting may only consider proposals or nominations (i) specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder of the Company who was a shareholder of record on (a) the date of the giving of timely notice to our Corporate Secretary and (b) the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given our Corporate Secretary timely written notice, in proper form. In addition to certain other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, such shareholder generally must have given notice thereof in proper written form to our Corporate Secretary not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders. Our amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or defer a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.

*Proxy Access*

Our By-Laws permit a shareholder (or a group of up to 20 shareholders) owning three percent (3%) or more of our common stock continuously for at least three years to nominate and include in our proxy statement candidates for up to the greater of 2 of 20% of our Board. To be timely, a notice of a nomination under our proxy access bylaw provisions must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than one-hundred twenty (120) days nor more than one-hundred fifty (150) days prior to the anniversary of the date that the Company first distributed its proxy statement to shareholders for the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders. The notice must contain certain information specified in our amended and restated bylaws.

**Transfer Agent and Registrar**

The transfer agent and registrar for the Company's common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

**<u>Description of Preferred Stock Purchase Rights</u>**

On December 2, 2024, the board of directors (the "Board") of the Company adopted a rights agreement and declared a dividend of one right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of Common Stock to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 16, 2024 (the "Record Date"). The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a rights agreement, dated as of December 3, 2024 (the "Rights Agreement"), between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a federally chartered trust company, as rights agent (and any successor rights agent, the "Rights Agent").

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Rights and Rights Agreement:

***The Rights***. Each Right entitles its registered holder, subject to the terms of the Rights Agreement, to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Preferred Stock"), of the Company at an exercise price of $27.00 per Right, subject to adjustment (the "Purchase Price"). The Rights will attach to any shares of Common Stock that become outstanding after the Record Date and prior to the earlier of the Distribution Date (as defined below), the Redemption Date (as defined below), the Final Expiration Date (as defined below), and in certain other circumstances described in the Rights Agreement.

Until the Distribution Date, the Rights are associated with Common Stock and evidenced by Common Stock certificates or, in the case of uncertificated shares of Common Stock, the book-entry account that evidences record ownership of such shares, which will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference, and the Rights are transferable with and only with the underlying shares of Common Stock. Until a Right is

------

exercised or exchanged, the registered holder thereof, as such, will have no separate rights as a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.

Until the Distribution Date, the surrender for transfer of any shares of Common Stock will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with those shares. As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, separate rights certificates will be mailed to holders of record of Common Stock as of the Distribution Date. From and after the Distribution Date, the separate rights certificates alone will represent the Rights. Except as otherwise provided in the Rights Agreement, only shares of Common Stock issued prior to the Distribution Date will be issued with Rights.

The Rights are not exercisable prior to the Distribution Date and, thereafter, become exercisable only after such time as the Rights become no longer redeemable by the Company. Until a Right is exercised, its holder will have no separate rights as a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote or to receive dividends. Upon the Distribution Date, any Rights held by an Acquiring Person, its Related Persons (as defined in the Rights Agreement), and certain transferees thereof become null and void and may not be exercised.

***Exercisability; Separation and Distribution of Rights***. Subject to certain exceptions, the Rights become exercisable and will be transferrable separately from Common Stock only upon the "Distribution Date," which occurs upon the earlier of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the close of business on the tenth (10th) business day after the "Shares Acquisition Date" (or such later date as may be determined by the Board prior to the Distribution Date that would otherwise have occurred); "Shares Acquisition Date" is defined as (a) the first date of public announcement that any person or group has become an "Acquiring Person," which is defined as a person or group that, together with its Related Persons, beneficially owns 12.5% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (with certain exceptions, including those described below) or (b) such other date, as determined by the Board, on which a person or group has become an Acquiring Person; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the close of business on the tenth (10th) business day (or such later date as may be determined by the Board prior to the Distribution Date that would otherwise have occurred) after the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person.

Subject to the exceptions set forth in the Rights Agreement, an Acquiring Person does not include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any Exempt Person;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any Existing Holder (as defined in the Rights Agreement); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any officer, director, or employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in his or her capacity as such, or any employee benefit plans of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or any entity, trustee, or administrator holding (or acting in a fiduciary capacity in respect of) shares of capital stock of the Company for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan or for the purpose of funding any such plan or other benefits for employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.

In addition, the Rights Agreement provides that no person or group will become an Acquiring Person as a result of share purchases or issuances directly from the Company or through an underwritten offering approved by the Board. Also, a person or group will not be an Acquiring Person if the Board determines that such person or group has become an Acquiring Person inadvertently and such person or group as promptly as practicable divests a sufficient number of shares so that such person or group would no longer be an Acquiring Person.

***Final Expiration Date***. The Rights will expire on the earliest to occur of (a) the close of business on December 2, 2025 (the "Final Expiration Date"), (b) the time at which the Rights are redeemed by the Company (as described below), or (c) the time at which the Rights are exchanged by the Company (as described below).

------

***Exempt Persons***. The Rights Agreement grants discretion to the Board to designate a person as an "Exempt Person" or to designate a transaction involving the Common Stock as an "Exempt Transaction." Except as otherwise provided in the Rights Agreement, an "Exempt Person" cannot become an Acquiring Person under the Rights Agreement. The Board can, in its sole discretion, revoke an "Exempt Person" designation.

***Flip-in Event***. In the event that any person or group (other than certain exempt persons as designated by the Board) becomes an Acquiring Person (a "Flip-in Event"), each holder of a Right (other than the Acquiring Person, its Related Persons, and certain transferees thereof, whose rights automatically become null and void) will have the right to receive, upon exercise and payment of the Purchase Price, Common Stock having a value equal to two times the Purchase Price, based on the market price of our Common Stock prior to such acquisition.

***Flip-over Event***. In the event that, after a person or group has become an Acquiring Person, any of the following occurs (each, a "Flip-over Event"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company effects a share exchange, consolidates with, or merges with and into, any other person;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any person engages in a share exchange with or consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, and the Company is the continuing or surviving entity and, in connection with such share exchange, consolidation or merger, all or part of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of any other entity or cash or any other property; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company sells or otherwise transfers, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, 50% or more of the Company's assets, cash flow or earning power;

each holder of a Right (except for Rights held by an Acquiring Person, its Related Persons, and certain transferees thereof, which will have been voided as described above) will have the right to acquire, upon payment of the Purchase Price, shares of the common stock of the person with whom the Company has engaged in the foregoing transaction (or its parent) a market value equal to twice the Purchase Price based on the market price of such person's stock, prior to such merger.

***Preferred Stock Provisions***. Each share of Preferred Stock, if issued: (i) will not be redeemable; (ii) will entitle the holder thereof to quarterly dividend payments $0.001 per one one-thousandth of a share or an amount equal to the dividend paid on one share of Common Stock, whichever is greater; (iii) will entitle the holder to receive $1.00 per one one-thousandth of a share or an amount equal to the payment made on one share of Common Stock, whichever is greater, (iv) will have the same voting power as one share of Common Stock; and (v) if shares of Common Stock are exchanged via merger, consolidation or a similar transaction, will entitle the holders to a payment per one one-thousandth of a share equal to the payment made on one share of Common Stock.

***Anti-dilution Adjustments***. The Board may adjust the Purchase Price, the number of Preferred Shares issuable and the number of outstanding Rights to prevent dilution that may occur from a stock dividend, a stock split, a reclassification of the Preferred Shares or Common Stock, as applicable. No adjustments to the Purchase Price of less than 1% will be made.

***Redemption***. At any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Distribution Date or (ii) the close of business on the Final Expiration Date, the Company may redeem all but not less than all the then outstanding Rights, at a price of $0.001 per Right (appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, or similar transaction occurring after the date of the Rights Agreement). Immediately upon the action of the Board authorizing any redemption, the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the redemption price.

***Exchange***. At any time after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, but before an Acquiring Person, together with all Related Persons, becomes the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by the Acquiring Person, together with all Related Persons, whose Rights will have become null and void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock, or one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock (or of a share of a class or series of the Company's preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences and privileges), per Right (subject to adjustment).

------

***Amendment of the Rights Agreement***. The Company may from time to time, in its sole discretion, amend or supplement the Rights Agreement without the consent of the holders of the Rights for so long as the Rights are redeemable. After the Rights are no longer redeemable, the Company may not amend the Rights Agreement in a way that adversely affects holders of the Rights (other than holders of Rights that have become null and void).

## Exhibit 19.1

Exhibit 19.1

**<u>Statement of Policy Regarding Insider Trading</u>**

*(Amended and Restated Effective July 28, 2022)*

To:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All directors, officers and employees of and consultants to PetMed Express, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company")

**<u>Introduction</u>**

The purpose of this memorandum is to remind you of your obligation as a director, officer or employee of, or consultant to, the Company to treat and keep material non-public information about the Company as confidential, and to not purchase or sell securities of PetMed Express, Inc. while you have knowledge of such material non-public information.

It is the policy of the Company to prohibit all employees, officers, and members of the board of directors ("Directors") from purchasing or selling Company securities (e.g., stocks, bonds, options, etc.) based upon material non-public information about the Company. In addition, all employees, officers, directors, and consultants to the Company are prohibited from disclosing material non-public information about the Company to another person who may in turn trade in the Company's securities. It is also the policy of the Company to prohibit purchases or sales of the securities of any publicly-traded company based on material non-public information about such company that was obtained in the course of service with the Company.

**<u>Restrictions on Trading Securities Based on Insider Information</u>**

**<u>Your Relationship With the Company</u>**

In the course of your employment with, or consultancy to, the Company or because of your relationship as a director, officer or employee, you may come into possession of confidential information concerning the Company. Much of this information has a potential for affecting the market price of shares of PetMed Express, Inc. Under some circumstances, federal securities law would impose potentially onerous civil and criminal penalties on persons who improperly obtain or use material non-public information about the Company in connection with a purchase or sale of its securities.

**<u>Liability of the Company for Insider Trading Violations</u>**

In addition to creating criminal and civil penalties for employees, officers, directors and consultants who purchase or sell PetMed Express, Inc. securities based upon material, non-public information, federal law empowers the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to seek substantial civil penalties from any person who, at the time of an insider trading violation, "directly or indirectly controlled the person who committed such violation" i.e., the Company. Thus, the Company may also be subject to civil penalties for insider trading violations committed by employees, officers or directors.

**<u>Application of the Law; Material Non-Public Information</u>**

The federal and state securities laws prohibit insider trading. Insider trading is the buying or selling of PetMed Express, Inc. securities (i.e., stocks, bonds, options, etc.) based upon "material non-public information" about the Company. These laws also prohibit you from "tipping" or disclosing such information to others, such as a friend or relative, who may then trade in Company securities on the basis of that information. These rules also apply to buying or selling securities of any other public company based on important information that is not known to the public and that was obtained in the course of service at the Company. To be clear, **any** violation of these laws could subject you, the Company, and the Company's management to civil and criminal liability and penalties, including imprisonment. There is no exception for "minor" trades--state and federal law enforcement have successfully prosecuted insider

Exhibit 19.1

trading involving only a small number of shares, modest profits or even where the insider trading avoided losses.

"Non-public" information consists of information that is not generally known or available to the public. Information is generally not considered to be known or generally available to the public until it has been released broadly to the marketplace (such as by a press release or a SEC filing), and enough time has elapsed to permit the investment market to absorb and evaluate the information. Once information is broadly released to the public, it will normally be regarded as absorbed and evaluated within two business days after the information has been broadly released.

"Material" information is information that a reasonable investor would consider important in deciding to buy, sell, hold, or short, PetMed Express, Inc. securities. Information may be important for this purpose even if it would not alone determine an investor's decision. Material information can be favorable or unfavorable. Examples that could be considered material include (but are not limited to) unannounced or unexpected results of operations; news of a significant pending transaction such as a proposed merger, acquisition, tender offer, exchange offer, major sales, or other commercial agreement; establishment of new line of business; an intended or actual sale of significant assets or the disposition of all or substantially all of a subsidiary; changes in dividend policies, the declaration of a stock split or the offering of additional securities; changes in management; significant joint ventures; introductions of significant new products or services; impending bankruptcy or financial liquidity problems; or the gain or loss of a substantial customer or supplier. Of course, there are numerous other examples of material information and the determination will necessarily depend on the circumstances existing at the time including but not limited to unusually high or low sales of a certain product, overall sales data, financial results, forecasts, changes in senior management, strategic decisions, new contracts or transactions with other companies, and actual or threatened litigation.

"Material non-public information" is information that is both material and non-public. It is also sometimes referred to as "Inside Information" or "Insider Information."

**<u>Statement of Company Policy</u>**

**<u>Outright Restriction Against Trading When in Possession of Material Non-Public Information</u>**

All employees, officers, directors, and consultants to the Company are prohibited from purchasing or selling PetMed Express, Inc. securities (e.g., stocks, bonds, options, etc.) based on material non-public information about the Company.

**<u>No Tipping</u>**

Employees, officers, directors, and consultants to the Company are prohibited from (i) "tipping" or disclosing material non-public information about PetMed Express, Inc. to another person so that they or others can buy or sell PetMed Express, Inc. securities, and (ii) recommending trading in PetMed Express, Inc. securities to another person based upon material non-public information.

Employees, officers, directors, and consultants to the Company are also prohibited from (i) "tipping" or disclosing material non-public information about any other publicly-traded company with whom PetMed Express, Inc. has a business relationship to another person so that they or others can buy or sell securities of such company, and (ii) recommending the trading in such company's securities to another person based on material non-public information that you know about such company that was obtained in the course of your service with PetMed Express, Inc.

**<u>Blackout Period</u>**

------

Exhibit 19.1

All Employees, officers and directors are prohibited from buying and selling the Company's securities except during the specified trading "window" period for each quarter.

------

Exhibit 19.1

The trading window will open on the second business day after the public release by the Company of any financial or other material information. Trading windows open due to the public release of financial information shall close on the 15<sup>th</sup> calendar day of the last month of the fiscal current quarter. The Company can announce a new blackout period at any time.

Two exceptions are hereby created to the requirements of the blackout period:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)to allow for the selling of the Company's securities only to independent institutional investors and only with the express authorization of the following individuals: either the Chairman of the Board or Chief Executive Officer of the Company (depending on the identity of the seller), and two (2) independent board members. Additionally, either of the two (2) independent board members may require that legal counsel be contacted in order to discuss the propriety of the sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) to allow for the selling of the Company's securities pursuant to a previously filed 10b5-1 plan.

**<u>Hedging of Company Stock; Short Sales</u>**

Employees, directors, officers, and consultants to the Company are prohibited from entering into any transaction designed to hedge, or having the effect of hedging, the economic risk of owning the Company's stock. Examples of transactions that fall within this prohibition include trading in options, puts, calls and other similar instruments related to Company stock. In addition, employees, directors, officers and consultants to the Company are prohibited from engaging in short sales (i.e. selling securities you do not own) of PetMed Express, Inc. securities. Regardless of any other provision of this Policy, the prohibitions set forth in this section are not eligible for the granting of an exception.

**<u>Margin Accounts and Pledges</u>** 

Securities held in a margin account or pledged as collateral for a loan may be sold without your consent by the broker if you fail to meet a margin call or be foreclosed upon by the lender if you default on the loan. A margin or foreclosure sale that occurs when you are aware of material non-public information may result in unlawful insider trading. As a result, directors, officers, and employees are prohibited from holding PetMed Express, Inc. securities in a margin account that can be sold without your consent and from pledging PetMed Express, Inc. securities as collateral for a loan.

**<u>Family Members</u>**

No director, officer, employee or consultant may permit any member of his or her immediate family or anyone on his or her behalf ("Related Persons"), or anyone to whom he or she has disclosed material, non-public information, to purchase or sell such securities in violation of the insider trading laws or the policies of the Company. It must be stressed that it is the personal responsibility of each such person to ensure his or her compliance with the laws and regulations applicable to his or her sales and purchases of securities, and that the Company has no obligation to any such person to ensure such compliance.

**<u>Other Companies</u>**

Due to the acquisition nature of our business, you may become privy to material non-public information of other companies, such as companies with which we may be negotiating transactions. All employees, officers, directors, and consultants to the Company are also prohibited from purchasing or selling the securities of any other publicly-traded company with whom PetMed Express, Inc. has a business relationship based on material non-public information about such company that was obtained in the course of your service with PetMed Express, Inc. or the related company.

**<u>Additional Restrictions for Directors, Officers, and Members of the Management Committee</u>**

------

Exhibit 19.1

<u>Standing Orders/10b5-1 Plans</u>. A standing order placed with a broker to purchase or sell PetMed Express, Inc. securities at a specified price leaves you with no control over the timing of the transaction. A standing order transaction executed by the broker when you are aware of material non-public information may result in unlawful insider trading even if you were not aware of the material non-public information when you placed the order. As a result, directors, officers, and members of the management committee are prohibited from placing standing orders that are longer than one day for PetMed Express, Inc.

An exception to this prohibition are plans created consistent with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which provides a "safe harbor" (i.e. an affirmative defense) from insider trading liability under the federal securities laws for trading plans that meet certain requirements. The Company requires that all 10b5-1 plans in PetMed Express, Inc. securities for directors and officers be approved in advance by Chief Financial Officer. Trades in PetMed Express, Inc. securities that are executed pursuant to an approved 10b5-1 plan are not subject to the prohibitions on trading contained in this policy.

<u>Short Swing Transactions</u>. Directors and those senior officers who are subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Reporting Persons") must refrain from engaging in "short swing" transactions in PetMed Express, Inc. securities prohibited under Section 16. As a general rule, this requirement means that a Reporting Person may not purchase any PetMed Express, Inc. securities if the Reporting Person sold similar securities within the prior six (6) months; and a Reporting Person may not sell any PetMed Express, Inc. securities if the Reporting Person purchased similar securities within the last six (6) months. However, the exercise of a stock option or sale of stock previously granted under PetMed Express, Inc.'s Board-approved equity plans shall not be treated as either a "purchase" or "sale" for purposes of the short swing transaction restrictions nor would the granting or purchase of stock under any Board-approved Company equity plan or stock purchase plan, respectively, be considered a "purchase" for purposes of short swing transaction restrictions.

**<u>Reporting Requirements</u>**

<u>Section 16 Reports</u>. Reporting Persons must file certain reports with the SEC when they engage in transactions involving PetMed Express, Inc. securities.

<u>Rule 144 Reports</u>. If required, directors, officers and employees must notify the SEC of their intention to sell PetMed Express, Inc. securities in the open market by filing a SEC Form 144 in accordance with the existing rules regarding Form 144 filings. This form is generally prepared and filed by your broker and is in addition to any required Section 16 reports.

**<u>Corrective Action</u>**

Any violation of this Company policy may serve as grounds for immediate termination of employment for cause of the person violating the policy, and may result in the Company seeking reimbursement from such person for any consequential damages or other injury suffered by the Company.

**<u>Further Assistance</u>**

Any person who has a question concerning the propriety of a proposed transaction or about the Company's policy may obtain additional guidance from the Company's Chief Financial Officer.

## Exhibit 97.1

Exhibit 97.1

**PetMed Express, Inc.**

**EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION RECOVERY POLICY**

*(Effective October 25, 2023)*

This Executive Compensation Recovery Policy ("Policy") covers Covered Officers of PetMed Express, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, "PetMeds") and explains when PetMeds will be required or authorized, as applicable, to seek recovery of Incentive Compensation awarded or paid to Covered Officers. Please refer to <u>Exhibit A</u> attached hereto (the "<u>Definitions Exhibit</u>") for the definitions of capitalized terms used throughout this Policy. Included in this Policy is Annex A "Attestation and Acknowledgement of Executive Compensation Recovery Policy."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.Miscalculation of Financial Performance Measure Results.** In the event of a Restatement, PetMeds will seek to recover, reasonably promptly, all Recoverable Incentive Compensation from a Covered Officer during the Applicable Period. Such recovery, in the case of a Restatement, will be made without regard to any individual knowledge or responsibility related to the Restatement or the Recoverable Incentive Compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if PetMeds is required to undertake a Restatement, PetMeds will not be required to recover the Recoverable Incentive Compensation if the Compensation Committee determines it Impracticable to do so, after exercising a normal due process review of all the relevant facts and circumstances.

PetMeds will seek to recover all Recoverable Incentive Compensation that was awarded or paid in accordance with the definition of "Recoverable Incentive Compensation" set forth on the Definitions Exhibit. If such Recoverable Incentive Compensation was not awarded or paid on a formulaic basis, PetMeds will seek to recover the amount that the Compensation Committee determines in good faith should be recouped.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.Legal and Compliance Violations**. Compliance with the law and PetMeds' Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and other corporate policies is a pre-condition to earning Incentive Compensation. If PetMeds in its sole discretion concludes that a Covered Officer (1) committed a significant legal or compliance violation in connection with the Covered Officer's employment, including a violation of PetMeds' corporate policies or PetMeds' Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (each, "<u>Misconduct</u>"), or (2) was aware of or willfully blind to Misconduct that occurred in an area over which the Covered Officer had supervisory authority, PetMeds may, at the direction of the Compensation Committee, seek recovery of all or a portion of the Recoverable Incentive Compensation awarded or paid to the Covered Officer for the Applicable Period in which the violation occurred. In addition, PetMeds may, at the direction of the Compensation Committee, conclude that any unpaid or unvested Incentive Compensation has not been earned and must be forfeited.

In the event of Misconduct, PetMeds may seek recovery of Recoverable Incentive Compensation even if the Misconduct did not result in an award or payment greater than would have been awarded or paid absent the Misconduct.

In the event of Misconduct, in determining whether to seek recovery and the amount, if any, by which the payment or award should be reduced, the Compensation Committee may consider— among other things— the seriousness of the Misconduct, whether the Covered Officer was unjustly enriched, whether seeking the recovery would prejudice PetMeds' interests in any way, including in a proceeding or investigation, and any other factors it deems relevant to the determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.Other Actions**. The Compensation Committee may, subject to applicable law, seek recovery in the manner it chooses, including by seeking reimbursement from the Covered Officer of all or part of the compensation awarded or paid, by electing to withhold unpaid compensation, by set-off, or by rescinding or canceling unvested equity and restricted stock awards.

------

Exhibit 97.1

In the reasonable exercise of its business judgment under this Policy, the Compensation Committee may in its sole discretion determine whether and to what extent additional action is appropriate to address the circumstances surrounding a Restatement or Misconduct to minimize the likelihood of any recurrence and to impose such other discipline as it deems appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.No Indemnification or Reimbursement**. Notwithstanding the terms of any other policy, program, agreement or arrangement, in no event will PetMeds or any of its affiliates indemnify or reimburse a Covered Officer for any loss under this Policy and in no event will PetMeds or any of its affiliates pay premiums on any insurance policy that would cover a Covered Officer's potential obligations with respect to Recoverable Incentive Compensation under this Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.Administration of Policy**. The Compensation Committee will have full authority to administer this Policy. Actions of the Compensation Committee pursuant to this Policy will be taken by the vote of a majority of its members. The Compensation Committee will, subject to the provisions of this Policy and Rule 10D-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "<u>Exchange Act</u>"), and PetMeds' applicable exchange listing standards, make such determinations and interpretations and take such actions in connection with this Policy as it deems necessary, appropriate or advisable. All determinations and interpretations made by the Compensation Committee will be final, binding and conclusive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.Other Claims and Rights**. The remedies under this Policy are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any legal and equitable claims PetMeds or any of its affiliates may have or any actions that may be imposed by law enforcement agencies, regulators, administrative bodies, or other authorities. Further, the exercise by the Compensation Committee of any rights pursuant to this Policy will not impact any other rights that PetMeds or any of its affiliates may have with respect to any Covered Officer subject to this Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.Condition to Eligibility for Incentive Compensation**. All Incentive Compensation will be subject to this Policy, even if already paid, until the Policy ceases to apply to such Incentive Compensation and any other vesting conditions applicable to such Incentive Compensation are satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.Amendment; Termination**. The Board or the Compensation Committee may amend or terminate this Policy at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.Effectiveness**. Except as otherwise determined in writing by the Compensation Committee, this Policy will apply to any Incentive Compensation that (a) in the case of any Restatement, is Received by Covered Officers prior to, on or following the Effective Date, and (b) in the case of Misconduct, is awarded or paid to a Covered Officer on or after the Effective Date. This Policy will survive and continue notwithstanding any termination of a Covered Officer's employment with PetMeds and its affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.Successors**. This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Covered Officers and their successors, beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators, or other legal representatives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.Governing Law**. To the extent not preempted by U.S. federal law, this Policy will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.Disclosure Requirements**. PetMeds shall file all disclosures with respect to this Policy required by applicable Securities and Exchange Commission filings and rules.

"<u>Financial Performance Measure</u>" means a measure that is determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing PetMeds' financial statements (including "non-GAAP" financial measures, such as those appearing in PetMeds' earnings releases or Management Discussion and Analysis), and any measure that is derived wholly or in part from such measure. Stock price and total shareholder return (and any measures derived wholly or in part therefrom) shall be considered Financial Performance Measures.

"<u>Impracticable</u>." The Compensation Committee may determine in good faith that recovery of Recoverable Incentive Compensation is "Impracticable" (a) in the case of any Restatement, if: (i) pursuing such recovery would violate home country law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of PetMeds where that law was adopted prior to November 28, 2022 and PetMeds provides an opinion of counsel to that effect acceptable to PetMeds' listing exchange; (ii) the direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing this Policy would exceed the Recoverable Incentive Compensation and PetMeds has (A) made a reasonable attempt to recover such amounts and (B) provided documentation of such attempts to recover to PetMeds' applicable listing exchange; or (iii) recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of PetMeds, to fail to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and (b) in the case of any Misconduct, in its sole discretion, in light of the scope and nature of the Misconduct.

"<u>Incentive Compensation</u>" means any compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a Financial Performance Measure. Incentive Compensation does not include any base salaries (except with respect to any salary increases earned wholly or in part based on the attainment of a Financial Performance Measure performance goal); bonuses paid solely at the discretion of the Compensation Committee or

------

Exhibit 97.1

Board that are not paid from a "bonus pool" that is determined by satisfying a Financial Performance Measure performance goal; bonuses paid solely upon satisfying one or more subjective standards and/or completion of a specified employment period; nonequity incentive plan awards earned solely upon satisfying one or more strategic measures or operational measures; and equity awards that vest solely based on the passage of time and/or attaining one or more non-Financial Performance Measures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Misconduct, Incentive Compensation will include all forms of cash and equity incentive compensation, including, without limitation, cash bonuses and equity awards that are received or vest solely based on the passage of time and/or attaining one or more non-Financial Performance Measures.

"<u>Received</u>." Incentive Compensation is deemed "Received" in PetMeds' fiscal period during which the Financial Performance Measure specified in the Incentive Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant of the Incentive Compensation occurs after the end of that period.

"<u>Recoverable Incentive Compensation</u>" means (a) in the case of any Restatement, the amount of any Incentive Compensation (calculated on a pre-tax basis) Received by a Covered Officer during the Applicable Period that is in excess of the amount that otherwise would have been Received if the calculation were based on the Restatement, and (b) in the case of any Misconduct, the amount of any Incentive Compensation (calculated on a pre-tax basis) awarded or paid to a Covered Officer during the Applicable Period that the Compensation Committee determines, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate in light of the scope and nature of the Misconduct. For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any Restatement, Recoverable Incentive Compensation does not include any Incentive Compensation Received by a person (i) before such person began service as a Covered Officer and (ii) who did not serve as a Covered Officer at any time during the performance period for that Incentive Compensation. For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any Restatement, Recoverable Incentive Compensation may include Incentive Compensation Received by a person while serving as an employee if such person previously served as a Covered Officer and then transitioned to an employee role. For Incentive Compensation based on (or derived from) stock price or total shareholder return where the amount of Recoverable Incentive Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in the applicable Restatement, the amount will be determined by the Compensation Committee based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Restatement on the stock price or total shareholder return upon which the Incentive Compensation was Received (in which case, PetMeds will maintain documentation of such determination of that reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to PetMeds' applicable listing exchange).

"<u>Restatement</u>" means an accounting restatement of any of PetMeds' financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act, or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, due to PetMeds' material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under U.S. securities laws, regardless of whether PetMeds or Covered Officer misconduct was the cause for such restatement. Restatement includes any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements (commonly referred to as "Big R" restatements), or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period (commonly referred to as "little r" restatements).

"<u>SLT Member</u>" means any person who has been designated as a member of PetMeds' Senior Leadership Team, other than an Executive Officer.
