| Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization Founded in 1996, PetMed Express, Inc. and subsidiaries, d/b/a PetMeds® and PetCareRx,Inc. d/b/a PetCareRx® (collectively, the "Company", "we", "us", or "our") is a leading nationwide direct-to-consumer pet pharmacy and online provider of prescription and non-prescription medications, food, supplements, supplies and partner with providers to offer various 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. The Company has a March 31 fiscal year and references herein to fiscal 2026, 2025, or 2024 refer to the Company's fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America "U.S. GAAP" and the rules and regulations of the SEC and include PetMed Express, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances 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 allocated to goodwill. The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. 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 original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2026 and 2025 consisted of the Company’s cash accounts and money market funds with a maturity of three months or less, and are carried at cost, which 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. Liquidity Management evaluates the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern. This assessment considers whether conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year of the date these consolidated financial statements are issued. For the year ended March 31, 2026, management’s assessment identified certain conditions and events that, when considered in the aggregate, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These included, among other things; •declining cash and cash equivalent balances from $54.7 million as of March 31, 2025 to $21.4 million as of March 31, 2026, •declining net sales by approximately 21.1% or $48.0 million, for the year ended March 31, 2026 compared to the year ended March 31, 2025, •advertising costs of acquiring a new customer, defined as total advertising costs divided by new customers acquired, increased for the year ended March 31, 2026 compared to the year ended March 31, 2025, •negative operating cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2026, and •ongoing operating losses. Management’s assessment also considered the impact of increased competition in the e-commerce pet pharmacy market, operational complexities and the Company’s dependence on the successful execution of strategic cost reductions. Management evaluated the significance of these conditions in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations during the assessment period. In response to these conditions, management has developed a plan intended to alleviate substantial doubt. The primary elements of management’s plan include, among other things; •advertising and media spend optimization, including the elimination of unproductive media spend and overall reductions in marketing costs, •strategic reductions in operating expenses, including decreases in professional fees following the resolution of non-recurring matters, and •reductions in capital expenditures as significant technology initiatives were completed during the year ended March 31, 2026. Management determined that these plans are probable of being effectively implemented and are probable of mitigating the conditions that raised substantial doubt. As of the issuance of these financials, management has concluded that substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is alleviated by these plans. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting. Use of Estimates The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Key estimates are used for, but not limited to, commitments and contingencies, sales tax liabilities, income taxes, inventory valuation, stock-based compensation, supplier rebates and valuation of goodwill and intangibles. Inventories Inventories represent finished goods and 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. Our reserve for inventory obsolescence is primarily estimated based upon the inventory’s remaining shelf-life and our anticipated ability to sell such inventory, which is estimated using past experience within its remaining shelf life. The inventory reserve was approximately $207 thousand and $34 thousand at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded an inventory write-down of $2.1 million related to certain inventory originally acquired for a wholesale distribution transaction that did not materialize. The write-down was recorded as a component of cost of goods sold within income from continuing operations. The resulting inventory balance reflects management’s best estimate of expected recoverability as of the balance sheet date. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. Depreciated is calculated 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 to ten years. We incur software development costs related to internal-use software and our websites. Internal-use software includes labor and license costs associated with software development for internal use and is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software. Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets, primarily includes fixed assets, definite lived intangibles, right-of-use assets, and other assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group from its use and eventual disposition of that asset group. Assets are considered to be impaired if the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on estimated fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less cost of disposal. The Company determined that all of its long-lived assets are part of a single entity-wide asset group for the purpose of long-lived asset impairment assessment. During the first and fourth quarters of fiscal 2026, the Company identified impairment indicators requiring an impairment analysis of the Company's long-lived asset group. These triggering events included a downward revision to the Company's forecast and a decrease in the Company's market capitalization which fell below the Company's carrying value for a sustain period beginning in the forth quarter of fiscal 2025. Accordingly, the Company performed a recoverability test of long-lived assets as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2026, using estimated undiscounted cash flow projections expected to be generated over the remaining useful life of the primary asset of the asset group at the lowest level with identifiable cash flows that are independent of other assets. Based on the recoverability tests performed, we determined that long-lived assets, were recoverable and, as such, no impairment charges were recorded as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2026. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. The Company is required to assess goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The Company performs its annual impairment assessment in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year. An impairment test of goodwill consists of comparing the carrying amount of the single reporting unit to the fair value of the unit. An impairment loss is recognized by the amount that the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, limited to the amount of goodwill. The Company has concluded that it has one reporting unit and has assigned the entire balance of goodwill to this reporting unit. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company identified potential impairment triggering events indicating that the fair value of its reporting unit was more likely than not less than its carrying value as of June 30, 2025. These triggering events included a downward revision to the Company’s forecast due to continued revenue declines and a decrease in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization that was sustained in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2025. The fair value of the single reporting unit was estimated using an income approach, employing a discounted cash flow model. As part of the discounted cash flow model, the Company developed estimates, assumptions and judgments about future results. The discounted cash flow projections were based on estimates made by management of current and future strategic and operational plans and future financial performance. Valuation assumptions used in the Company's discounted cash flow valuation also include projected capital expenditures, earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense (EBITDA), depreciation expense, working capital, discount rates, tax rates and terminal growth rates. The Company applied a terminal growth rate of 3%, income tax rate of 25.3% and discount rate of 14.0% based on a weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the characteristics of the single reporting unit. The Company perform sensitivity analyses around the assumptions in order to assess the reasonableness of the assumptions and the results of the testing. As a result of this impairment test, the Company determined the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value, resulting in a of $26.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, which represented the entirety of the goodwill balance previously recorded. There was no tax impact to the impairment as goodwill is not tax deductible. No impairment losses were recognized for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 related to goodwill. In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, the fair value measurement, on a non-recurring basis, for the goodwill impairment is categorized as a Level 3 fair value measurement. This is due to the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation, including the forecasted revenues, discount rate, and terminal growth rate, which require significant management judgment and estimation. Intangible Assets The Company acquired definite-lived intangible assets in the acquisition of PetCareRx (“PCRx”), that are being amortized based on their estimated useful lives in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. These definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized over periods ranging from 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 test in fiscal 2025, the Company performed a quantitative assessment and determined that the PCRx trade name was impaired. Based on such impairment test, the Company recognized a of $1.2 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company identified interim impairment indicators, and as such performed a quantitative interim impairment test as of June 30, 2025, which resulted in additional impairment related to the PCRx trade name of $0.6 million, due to a reduction in actual and forecasted revenues. There were no other impairment charges related to intangible assets recognized for the year ended March 31, 2026. 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 the valuation at June 30, 2025 include: •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. •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. •Discount Rate: A discount rate of 14.0% 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. •Capitalization Rate: A capitalization growth rate of 11.0% 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, on a non-recurring basis, 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. For additional information see Note 6, "Intangible and Other Assets, Net." 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 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 39% of the Company's Delray Beach property, or approximately 72,000 square feet was leased to two tenants. At March 31, 2026, the leases with these two tenants had a remaining weighted average lease term of 4.3 years. The Company recorded approximately $0.8 million, $0.7 million, and $1.2 million in rental revenue in fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, 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 five years: $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, 2026, 2025 and 2024, 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 2026 or fiscal 2025. 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, 2022, 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 ten and six suppliers, respectively, that each accounted for 2% or more of our total purchase volume; these suppliers represented approximately 89% and 81% of total purchases for fiscal 2026 and 2025, 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 Recently Adopted Accounting Standard In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has adopted ASU 2023-09 prospectively and has enhanced its income tax disclosures included herein, to comply with the requirements. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The FASB issued this ASU to update reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. This update became effective with the Company’s fiscal year 2025 annual reporting period and with the Company’s fiscal year 2026 interim reporting periods. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and resulted in additional segment disclosures within Note 3, “Segment Reporting.” Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted 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. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”) to simplify the estimation of credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. The amendments allow all entities to elect a practical expedient to assume that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing a reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating expected credit losses on these assets. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Entities that elect the practical expedient and, if applicable, make the accounting policy election are required to apply the amendments prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this Update. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”) to modernize the accounting for internal-use software costs, primarily by simplifying the requirements to capitalize software development costs. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years and may be applied using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this Update. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”) to improve the guidance in Topic 270, Interim Reporting by improving navigability of the required interim disclosures, clarifying when that guidance is applicable. The amendments also provide additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. The guidance is effective for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this Update. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements (“ASU 2025-12”), to address suggestions received from stakeholders on the Accounting Standards Codification and to make other incremental improvements to GAAP. The update represents changes to the Codification that (1) clarify, (2) correct errors, or (3) make minor improvements. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and apply. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this Update. The Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
