Patterson Companies Reports Fiscal 2024 Second Quarter Operating Results

11/29/2023
  • Second quarter reported net sales increased 1.6 percent year-over-year to $1.65 billion.
  • Internal sales increased 1.0 percent year-over-year, driven by dental consumables growth of 2.9 percent; excluding certain infection control products, internal sales of dental consumables increased 4.7 percent year-over-year.
  • Delivered second quarter GAAP earnings of $0.42 per diluted share and adjusted earnings of $0.50 per diluted share.
  • Returned $85.9 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
  • Revises fiscal 2024 GAAP earnings guidance to $2.04 to $2.14 per diluted share and adjusted earnings1 guidance of $2.35 to $2.45 per diluted share.

Patterson Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq: PDCO) today reported operating results for its fiscal 2024 second quarter ended October 28, 2023.

“Our team executed well against softer than anticipated demand within our end markets,” said Don Zurbay, President and CEO of Patterson Companies. “Steady patient traffic supported strong performance in our broad and resilient dental consumables portfolio that was offset by lower sales in certain high-tech dental equipment categories. Our Animal Health segment benefitted from the depth of our offering and omnichannel presence across a wide range of animal species. We delivered healthy sales growth in our production animal business while our companion animal business was impacted by moderating veterinary clinic visits.

“The macro environment challenges we faced during the second quarter do not change our core objectives or continued conviction in making strategic investments in our distribution capabilities, software offerings, and value-added services. While we have adjusted our fiscal 2024 guidance to reflect our current expectations for the near term, we remain confident in the enduring strength and resiliency of the Dental and Animal Health end markets. We continue to believe that our talented team and comprehensive value proposition make Patterson well positioned to drive enhanced growth, profitability and value creation over the long term.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results
Consolidated net sales were $1.65 billion (see attached Sales Summary for further details), an increase of 1.6 percent compared to the same period last year. Internal sales, which are adjusted for the effects of currency translation, contributions from recent acquisitions and the net impact of an interest rate swap, increased 1.0 percent over the prior year period.

Reported net income attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc. for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $40.0 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, compared to $54.1 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted net income1 attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc., which excludes deal amortization, totaled $47.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to $61.2 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year decrease in reported and adjusted net income attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc. in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was primarily due to lower sales of dental technology equipment and increased operating expenses compared to the prior year period.

Patterson Dental
Reported net sales in the Dental segment for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 were $626.4 million. Internal sales decreased 0.2 percent compared to the fiscal 2023 second quarter. Internal sales of consumables increased 2.9 percent year-over-year. Excluding the deflationary impact of certain infection control products, internal sales of consumables increased 4.7 percent year-over-year. Compared to the prior year period, internal sales of equipment decreased 6.3 percent and internal sales of value-added services increased 3.1 percent.

Patterson Animal Health
Reported net sales in the Animal Health segment for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 were $1.02 billion. Internal sales growth of 0.2 percent year-over-year was driven by growth in the production animal business, which more than offset reduced sales in the companion animal business. Within the Animal Health segment, internal sales of consumables decreased 0.6 percent, equipment increased 0.9 percent and value-added services increased 67.9 percent.

Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation
During the first six months of fiscal 2024, Patterson Companies used $485.3 million of cash from operating activities and collected deferred purchase price receivables of $489.5 million, generating $4.2 million in cash, compared to using $30.5 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow1 (see definition below and attached free cash flow table) during the first six months of fiscal 2024 improved by $28.0 million compared to the first six months of fiscal 2023 due to a decreased level of working capital during the first six months of fiscal 2024.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, Patterson declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.26 per share and returned $24.9 million in cash dividends to shareholders. Also, under an existing share repurchase authorization, the company repurchased approximately $61.0 million of shares during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Through the first six months of fiscal 2024, Patterson Companies returned $140.8 million to shareholders in the form of cash dividends and share repurchases. At of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2024, Patterson had approximately $319 million of share repurchase authority remaining on its current share repurchase authorization.

Year-to-Date Results
Consolidated reported net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2024 totaled $3.23 billion, a 2.5 percent year-over-year increase. Internal sales for the first six months of fiscal 2024, which are adjusted for the effects of currency translation, contributions from recent acquisitions and the net impact of an interest rate swap, increased 1.6 percent year-over-year. Through the first six months of fiscal 2024, Dental segment internal sales increased 0.9 percent, including a 3.7 percent increase in consumables, a 6.0 percent decline in equipment and a 4.4 percent increase in value-added services.

Adjusted net income1 attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc., which excludes deal amortization, totaled $85.8 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, compared to $92.9 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, in the year-ago period.

Fiscal 2024 Guidance
Patterson Companies today revised 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 $2.04 to $2.14 per diluted share.
  • Non-GAAP adjusted earnings1 are expected to be in the range of $2.35 to $2.45 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 additional 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 net sales, gross profit, operating expenses, operating income, other income (expense), net, income before taxes, income tax expense, net income, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, net income attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc., and diluted earnings per share attributable to Patterson Companies, Inc. for the impact of deal amortization and an interest rate swap along with any related tax effects of these items.

  • Interest rate swap -- Our customer financing net sales include the impact of changes in interest rates on deferred purchase price receivables, as the average interest rate in our contract portfolio may not fluctuate at the same rate as interest rate markets, resulting in an increase or reduction of gain on contract sales.

    We enter into an interest rate swap to hedge a portion of the related interest rate risk. These agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting, and the gains or losses on an interest rate swap are reported in other income and expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operation and other comprehensive income.

    Beginning this quarter and for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we present a non-GAAP adjustment to reclassify the mark-to-market adjustment on the interest rate swap from other income (expense) to net sales to align the swap impact with the impact on customer financing net sales. We believe adjusted net sales, adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating income, which include the gains and losses on the interest rate swap, provides additional comparability from period to period because they present the impact of interest rate fluctuations, net of the mark-to-market swap adjustment, within adjusted net sales. We note the net impact of interest rate fluctuations has a minimal impact on net income. Deal amortization along with the related tax effect of this item. We believe this adjustment provides comparability with other companies.

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 for the effects of currency translation, contributions from recent acquisitions and the net impact of an interest rate swap. 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 excluding the impact of foreign currency, an interest rate swap and recent acquisitions provides useful supplementary information to investors in light of fluctuations in these variables that are independent of our period-over-period performance.

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.
