ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Patterson Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq: PDCO) today reported consolidated net sales of approximately $1.42 billion (see attached Sales Summary for further details) in its fiscal second quarter ended October 26, 2019, an increase of 1.0 percent compared to the same period last year. Internal sales, which are adjusted for the effects of currency translation and changes in product selling relationships, increased 1.9 percent.

Reported net loss attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc. for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was $33.1 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc. of $28.9 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. During the quarter Patterson recorded a reserve of $58.3 million related to the agreement in principle with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Virginia’s (“USAO-WDVA”) investigation into the sales of prescription animal health products.

Adjusted net income1 attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc., which excludes deal amortization costs, integration and business restructuring expenses, legal reserve expenses and accelerated debt issuance costs, totaled $36.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2020, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to $36.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2019, or $0.39 per diluted share.

“Patterson’s continued revenue growth and improved profitability in the second quarter underscore the traction we're gaining from our ongoing actions to drive performance improvement,” said Mark Walchirk, President and CEO of Patterson Companies. “We continue to focus on building upon our momentum to grow our business on the top and bottom line, invest for the future and deliver enhanced value for our customers and shareholders. As a result of the progress we have made against our strategic priorities during the first two quarters of fiscal 2020, we are raising our adjusted earnings guidance for the year.”

Patterson Animal Health

Reported net sales in our Animal Health segment for the second quarter of fiscal 2020, which comprised approximately 60 percent of the company’s total sales, were $848.2 million compared to $855.4 million in the second quarter of last year. Internal sales for the segment increased 0.7 percent from the fiscal 2019 second quarter.

Patterson Dental

Reported net sales in our Dental segment for the second quarter of fiscal 2020, which represented approximately 40 percent of total company sales, were $564.6 million compared to $542.5 million in the second quarter of last year. Internal sales increased 4.2 percent compared to the fiscal 2019 second quarter.

Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation

During the first six months of fiscal 2020 Patterson Companies used $14.7 million of cash from operating activities and collected deferred purchase price receivables of $212.3 million, netting $197.7 million in cash, compared to a total of $365.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2019. However, the previous year contained the initiation of the trade accounts receivable facility in the amount of $171.0 million. On an adjusted free cash flow1basis, cash generated year-to-date in fiscal 2020 is $2.1 million higher than the year ago period.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, Patterson Companies paid $25.0 million in cash dividends to shareholders. On a year-to-date basis, Patterson has returned $50.5 million in cash dividends to shareholders.

Year-to-Date Results

Consolidated reported net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2020 totaled $2.75 billion, a 0.2 percent year-over-year increase. Internal sales have increased 1.2 percent compared to the first six months of fiscal 2019. Reported net loss attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc. was $3.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc. of $24.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share in last year's period. The year-over-year decline is attributable to the increase in legal reserves, partially offset by an investment gain. Adjusted net income1 attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc., which excludes deal amortization costs, integration and business restructuring costs, legal reserve expenses, accelerated debt issuance costs and an investment gain, totaled $62.0 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc. of $60.3 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, in the year-ago period.

Legal Updates

Patterson recently reached an agreement in principle with the USAO-WDVA that the Company understands will resolve the government’s investigation into Animal Health International’s sales of prescription animal health products to certain persons and/or locations not licensed to receive them, and other non-compliant licensing, dispensing, distribution and related sales processes disclosed by the Company during the investigation. Patterson continues to cooperate fully with the government, in addition to conducting its own internal, company-wide investigation into licensing, dispensing, distribution and related sales practices and shared its findings with the government. Patterson’s investigation resulted in modifications of the Company’s processes that are designed to drive compliance with relevant regulations.

Under the terms of the agreement in principle with the USAO-WDVA, Patterson’s subsidiary, Animal Health International, Inc., will pay a total fine and forfeiture of $52.8 million and plead guilty to a strict-liability misdemeanor offense under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act in connection with the failure to comply with federal law relating to the sales of prescription animal health products. In addition, Patterson and Animal Health International will enter into a Non-Prosecution Agreement. The agreement in principle with the USAO-WDVA is subject to negotiation of final terms, approval by all necessary parties, execution of definitive documents, and court approval. Upon reaching this agreement in principle with the USAO-WDVA, Patterson recorded a reserve of $58.3 million in its Corporate segment for the three and six months ended October 26, 2019 to account for the anticipated settlement of this matter and certain related costs and expenses.

As previously announced in November 2019, Patterson reached a settlement agreement with the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) regarding an administrative complaint filed by the FTC concerning alleged conduct in 2013 related to the company’s willingness to negotiate with “buying groups.” Patterson continues to categorically deny any wrongdoing, but for business reasons, determined that a settlement is in its best interest, and allows the company to avoid further costs, distraction and uncertainty. As a result of the settlement, Patterson and the FTC agreed not to appeal the initial recommendation of the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) and Patterson agreed to abide by the terms of the ALJ’s proposed remedial order, which did not impose any monetary fine on the company or require an outside monitor. As part of the settlement, Patterson agreed to maintain its ongoing personnel training on antitrust laws and to continue making independent decisions with regard to “buying groups.”

“Patterson has made significant progress toward the resolution of legal matters facing the Company and has implemented substantial enhancements to its compliance program. As a result, Patterson is in an even stronger position to execute on our strategic goals,” said Walchirk. “Importantly, we do not expect any changes to our capital allocation strategy as a result of the agreement in principle with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Virginia.”

FY2020 Guidance

Patterson Companies today updated its fiscal 2020 earnings guidance, which is provided on both a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted1 basis:

  • GAAP earnings are now expected to be in the range of $0.42 to $0.52 per diluted share.
  • Non-GAAP adjusted earnings1 are now expected to be in the range of $1.36 to $1.46 per diluted share.
  • Our non-GAAP adjusted earnings1 guidance excludes the after-tax impact of:

- Deal amortization expenses of approximately $28.2 million ($0.30 per diluted share).

- Integration and business restructuring expenses of approximately $7.3 million ($0.08 per diluted share).

- Legal reserve expenses of approximately $72.4 million ($0.76 per diluted share).

- Accelerated debt issuance costs of approximately $1.5 million ($0.02 per diluted share).

- Accelerated derivative amortization expense of approximately $6.0 million ($0.06 per diluted share).

- Investment gain of approximately $26.5 million ($0.28 per diluted share).

Our guidance is for current operations as well as completed or previously announced acquisitions and does not include the impact of potential future acquisitions or similar transactions, if any, or impairments and material restructurings beyond those previously publicly disclosed. Our guidance assumes North American and international market conditions similar to those experienced in fiscal 2019.

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, 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, integration and business restructuring expenses, legal reserve costs, accelerated debt issuance costs and an investment gain, along with the related tax effects of these items.

The term “adjusted free cash flow” used in this release is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures less the one-time benefit from the fiscal 2019 initiation of our trade account receivables facility plus collection of deferred purchase price receivables.

In addition, the term “internal sales” used in this release represents net sales adjusted to exclude foreign currency impact and changes in product selling relationships. 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 significant fluctuations in currency rates.

Management believes that these non-GAAP measures may provide a helpful representation of the company's second-quarter performance and earnings guidance, 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.

Investors can listen to a live webcast of the conference call at www.pattersoncompanies.com. The conference call will be archived on the Patterson Companies website.
