Patterson Companies Reports Fiscal 2024 First Quarter Operating Results

  • First quarter reported net sales increased 3.5 percent year-over-year to $1.6 billion, and internal sales increased 2.8 percent.
  • Drove adjusted operating margin1 expansion for business overall and across both Dental and Animal Health segments.
  • Delivered first quarter GAAP earnings of $0.32 per diluted share and adjusted earnings of $0.40 per diluted share, a 25 percent increase over the prior year period.
  • Returned $54.9 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
  • Reaffirmed fiscal 2024 GAAP earnings guidance of $2.14 to $2.24 per diluted share and adjusted earnings1 guidance of $2.45 to $2.55 per diluted share.

Patterson Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq: PDCO) today reported consolidated net sales of $1.6 billion (see attached Sales Summary for further details) in its fiscal 2024 first quarter ended July 29, 2023, an increase of 3.5 percent compared to the same period last year. Internal sales, which are adjusted for the effects of currency translation and contributions from recent acquisitions, increased 2.8 percent over the prior year period.

Reported net income attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc. for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $31.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to $24.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted net income1 attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc., which excludes deal amortization, totaled $38.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to $31.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year increase in reported and adjusted net income attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc. in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 is primarily due to sales execution and operating margin expansion within both business segments.

“Patterson had a strong start to fiscal 2024, delivering internal sales growth and enhanced profitability in the first quarter,” said Don Zurbay, President and CEO of Patterson Companies. “Our initiatives to drive margin improvement were successful in helping us achieve adjusted operating margin expansion across the company and the Dental and Animal Health segments. Continued execution of our proven strategy and the resilient end markets in which we operate make us well positioned to drive improved performance over the long term.”

Patterson Dental

Reported net sales in the Dental segment for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 were $567.3 million. Internal sales increased 2.1 percent compared to the fiscal 2023 first quarter. Internal sales of consumables increased 4.6 percent year-over-year. Excluding the deflationary impact of certain infection control products, internal sales of consumables increased 6.9 percent year-over-year. Compared to the prior year period, internal sales of equipment decreased 5.7 percent and internal sales of value-added services increased 5.8 percent.

Patterson Animal Health

Reported net sales in the Animal Health segment for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 were $1.01 billion. Internal sales growth of 4.0 percent year-over-year was driven by growth in both the companion animal and production animal businesses. Within the Animal Health segment, internal sales of consumables grew 3.5 percent, equipment and software decreased 3.7 percent and value-added services increased 72.3 percent.

Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation

During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, Patterson Companies used $253.4 million of cash from operating activities and collected deferred purchase price receivables of $242.0 million, using $11.4 million in cash, compared to using $49.6 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow1 (see definition below and attached free cash flow table) during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 improved by $35.7 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023 due to a decreased level of working capital during the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, Patterson Companies declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.26 per share and returned $25.4 million in cash dividends to shareholders. Also, under an existing share repurchase authorization, the company repurchased approximately $29.5 million of shares during the first quarter of fiscal 2024. As of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024, Patterson had approximately $380 million of share repurchase authority remaining on its current share repurchase authorization.

Fiscal 2024 Guidance

Patterson Companies today reaffirmed its fiscal 2024 earnings guidance, which is provided on both a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted1 basis:

  • GAAP earnings are expected to be in the range of $2.14 to $2.24 per diluted share.
  • Non-GAAP adjusted earnings1 are expected to be in the range of $2.45 to $2.55 per diluted share.
  • Our non-GAAP adjusted earnings1 guidance excludes the after-tax impact of:
    • Deal amortization expenses of approximately $29.3 million ($0.31 per diluted share).

Our guidance reflects the strength of our business and competitive positioning, as well as our expectations for the North American and international end markets in which we operate, which we expect to be affected by the ongoing challenges of inflationary trends and higher interest rates as well as a potential slow-down in the broader economy. Beyond macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, our guidance further assumes that there are no material adverse developments associated with wide-spread public health concerns.

1Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Measures table appearing behind the accompanying financial information is provided to adjust reported GAAP measures, namely operating income, other income (expense), net income before taxes, income tax expense, net income, net income attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc. and diluted earnings per share attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc., for the impact of deal amortization along with the related tax effect of this item.

The term “free cash flow” used in this release is defined as net cash used in operating activities less capital expenditures plus the collection of deferred purchase price receivables.

In addition, the term “internal sales” used in this release represents net sales adjusted to exclude the impact of foreign currency and the impact from recent acquisitions. Foreign currency impact represents the difference in results that is attributable to fluctuations in currency exchange rates the company uses to convert results for all foreign entities where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. The company calculates the impact as the difference between the current period results translated using the current period currency exchange rates and using the comparable prior period's currency exchange rates. The company believes the disclosure of net sales changes in constant currency provides useful supplementary information to investors in light of fluctuations in currency rates.

Management believes that these non-GAAP measures may provide a helpful representation of the company's performance and enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented solely for informational and comparative purposes and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding, similarly captioned, GAAP measures.

This press release contains, and our officers and representatives may from time to time make, certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding future financial performance, and the objectives and expectations of management. Forward-looking statements often include words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “should,” “could” or “may.”

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements.

Any number of factors could affect our actual results and cause such results to differ materially from those contemplated by any forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following: wide-spread public health concerns as we experienced, and may continue to experience, with the COVID-19 pandemic; our dependence on suppliers to manufacture and supply substantially all of the products we sell; potential disruption of distribution capabilities, including service issues with third-party shippers; our dependence on relationships with sales representatives and service technicians to retain customers and develop business; adverse changes in supplier rebates or other purchasing incentives; risks of selling private label products, including the risk of adversely affecting our relationships with suppliers; the risk of technological and market obsolescence for the products we sell; the risk of failing to innovate and develop new and enhanced software and e-services products; our dependence on positive perceptions of Patterson’s reputation; risks associated with illicit human use of pharmaceutical products we distribute; risks inherent in acquiring and disposing of assets or other businesses and risks inherent in integrating acquired businesses; turnover or loss of key personnel or highly skilled employees; risks associated with information systems, software products and cyber-security attacks; risks related to climate change; our ability to comply with restrictive covenants and other limits in our credit agreement; the risk that our governing documents and Minnesota law may discourage takeovers and business combinations; the effects of the highly competitive dental and animal health supply markets in which we compete; the effects of consolidation within the dental and animal health supply markets; exposure to the risks of the animal production business, including changing consumer demand, the cyclical livestock market, weather conditions, the availability of natural resources and other factors outside our control, and the risks of the companion animal business, including the possibility of disease adversely affecting the pet population; exposure to the risks of the health care industry, including changes in demand due to political, economic and regulatory influences and other factors outside our control; increases in over-the-counter sales and e-commerce options; risks from the formation or expansion of GPOs, provider networks and buying groups that may place us at a competitive disadvantage; risks of litigation and government inquiries and investigations, including the diversion of management’s attention, the cost of defending against such actions, the possibility of damage awards or settlements, fines or penalties, or equitable remedies (including but not limited to the revocation of or non-renewal of licenses) and inherent uncertainty; failure to comply with health care fraud or other laws and regulations; change and uncertainty in the health care industry; failure to comply with existing or future U.S. or foreign laws and regulations including those governing the distribution of pharmaceuticals and controlled substances; failure to comply with evolving data privacy laws and regulations; tax legislation; risks inherent in international operations, including currency fluctuations; and uncertain macro-economic conditions, including inflationary pressures.

The order in which these factors appear should not be construed to indicate their relative importance or priority. We caution that these factors may not be exhaustive, accordingly, any forward-looking statements contained herein should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results.

You should carefully consider these and other relevant factors, including those risk factors in Part I, Item 1A, (“Risk Factors”) in our most recent Form 10-K and information which may be contained in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, when reviewing any forward-looking statement.

Investors should understand it is impossible to predict or identify all such factors or risks. As such, you should not consider the foregoing list, or the risks identified in our SEC filings, to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
