Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies

 

Nature of the business

 

Better Choice Company Inc. (the “Company”) is a pet health and wellness company focused on providing pet products and services that help dogs and cats live healthier, happier and longer lives. The Company has a broad portfolio of pet health and wellness products for dogs and cats sold under its Halo brand across multiple forms, including foods, treats, toppers, dental products, chews and supplements. The products consist of kibble and canned dog and cat food, freeze-dried raw dog food and treats, vegan dog food and treats, oral care products and supplements.

 

Reverse stock split

 

On March 8, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-44, effective March 20, 2024 (the “Reverse Split”). In addition, the exercise prices of the Company’s underlying common stock purchase warrants and stock options were proportionately adjusted at the applicable reverse stock split ratio in accordance with the terms of such instruments. Proportionate voting rights and other rights of common stockholders were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split, other than as a result of the rounding up of fractional shares. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, 70,041 shares of common stock were issued in lieu of fractional shares.

 

Accordingly, all share and per share amounts related to the Company’s common stock for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted, where applicable, to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. The number of authorized shares and the par values of the common stock and convertible preferred stock were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reports and accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Results of operations for interim periods may not be representative of results to be expected for the full year.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC.

 

Consolidation

 

The condensed financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates these assumptions, judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the financial position as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Going concern considerations

 

The Company is subject to risks common in the pet wellness consumer market including, but not limited to, dependence on key personnel, competitive forces, successful marketing and sale of its products, the successful protection of its proprietary technologies, ability to grow into new markets, and compliance with government regulations. The Company has historically incurred losses and expect to continue to generate operating losses and consume cash resources in the near term. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, meaning that we may be unable to generate sufficient operating cash flows to pay our short-term obligations. The Company will need to either raise additional capital or obtain additional financing to maintain sufficient liquidity. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital, renewing or refinancing its existing debt or securing new financing. If the Company is unsuccessful in doing so, it may need to reduce the scope of its operations or sell certain assets.

 

9

 

The Company has implemented and continues to implement plans to achieve operating profitability, including various margin improvement initiatives, the consolidation of and introduction of new co-manufacturers, the optimization of pricing strategy and ingredient profiles, and new product innovation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and payments of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount of and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Summary of significant accounting policies

 

For additional information, please refer to the most recently filed Annual Report regarding the Company’s summary of significant accounting policies.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits held with banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of ninety days or less at acquisition date. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Share repurchases

 

In April 2024, the Company’s board of directors authorized and approved a stock repurchase plan (the “Repurchase Plan”) for up to $5.0 million of the currently outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock through December 31, 2024. Repurchased shares are immediately retired and returned to unissued status. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, no shares were repurchased.

 

Advertising

 

The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred and such charges are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense. The Company’s advertising expenses consist primarily of online advertising, search costs, email advertising and radio advertising. In addition, the Company reimburses its customers and third parties for in store activities and record these costs as advertising expenses. Advertising costs were $1.2 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Advertising costs were $2.3 million and $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts within the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to share-based compensation, previously presented as a separate line item, have been reclassified into selling, general and administrative expense to conform with current period presentation. All share-based compensation in the current and prior periods is a selling, general and administrative expense.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

Recently adopted

 

There were no new standards that would have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Note 2 – Revenue

 

The Company records revenue net of discounts, which primarily consist of trade promotions, certain customer allowances and early pay discounts.

 

The Company excludes sales taxes collected from revenues. Retail-partner based customers are not subject to sales tax.

 

The Company’s direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) loyalty program enables customers to accumulate points based on their spending. A portion of revenue is deferred at the time of sale when points are earned and recognized when the loyalty points are redeemed. The Company closed its DTC channel effective June 1, 2024 and expired the loyalty program as of June 30, 2024.

 

10

 

Revenue channels

 

The Company groups its revenue channels into three categories: Digital, which includes the sale of product to online retailers such as Amazon and Chewy, as well as DTC sales, which included the sale of product through the Company’s website through June 1, 2024; Brick & Mortar, which primarily includes the sale of product to Pet Specialty retailers, independent pet stores, and regional distributors; and International, which includes the sale of product to foreign distribution partners and to select international retailers (transacted in U.S. dollars).

 

Information about the Company’s net sales by revenue channel is as follows (in thousands):

Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility

 

On June 21, 2023, the Company entered into an account purchase agreement with Wintrust Receivables Finance (the “AP Agreement”), a division of Wintrust Bank N.A. (“Wintrust”) pursuant to which Wintrust will purchase, at its discretion, eligible customer invoices and advance up to 75% of the face amount of all purchased invoices, the maximum outstanding balance can be $4.8 million. Each advance under the AP Agreement will bear a variable interest rate at the prime rate plus 2.5% percentage per annum. The interest rate at June 30, 2024 was 11.0% per annum. The AP Agreement has an initial term of two years and will automatically renew annually unless terminated by the Company on at least 60 days’ notice. The Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility is guaranteed and secured by a general security interest in the assets of the Company. The Company continues to service the receivables, the transfers are at full recourse and the eligible customer invoices are not legally isolated from the Company. As such, the Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility was accounted for as a secured borrowing under ASC 860.

 

12

 

The Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility limits or restrict the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness; incur additional liens; make dividends and other restricted payments; make investments; sell, assign, transfer or dispose of certain assets; make optional prepayments of other indebtedness; engage in transactions with affiliates; and enter into restrictive agreements. The Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility does not include any financial covenants and if an event of default occurs, Wintrust is entitled to accelerate the advances made thereunder and exercise rights against the collateral. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with its restrictive financial covenants.

 

Borrowing under the Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility are classified as current debt as a result of a required lockbox arrangement and a subjective acceleration clause. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold receivables having an aggregate face value of $3.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively, in exchange for cash proceeds of $2.5 million and $5.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the balance outstanding on the Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility amounted to $1.6 million.

 

Alphia Term Loan Facility

 

On June 21, 2023, the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) with Alphia Inc. (“Alphia”), a custom manufacturer of super-premium pet food in the U.S. Pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement, Alphia made a term loan to the Company in the original principal amount of $5.0 million (the “Term Loan”). In conjunction with the Term Loan Agreement, the Company issued warrants to Alphia (see Note 11 – Warrants for further discussion). The proceeds of the Term Loan, together with a portion of the Company’s cash on hand, were used to retire all of the outstanding obligations of Halo, Purely for Pets, Inc. (“Halo”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, under Halo’s long-term credit facility with Old Plank Trail Community Bank, N.A., an affiliate of Wintrust Bank, N.A described above.

 

On March 25, 2024, the Company initiated a legal action to enforce a right of first refusal option exercised by Alphia pursuant to the terms of a written agreement between Alphia and the Company whereby Alphia was to acquire the assets of Halo. On June 20, 2024, the Company agreed to settlement terms of the lawsuit. The agreement dismisses the Company’s ongoing litigation with Alphia and provides for the forgiveness of the Company’s term loan, including $5.0 million in principal and $0.5 million of payable-in-kind (“PIK”) accrued interest, the termination of 335,640 warrants with a strike price of $11.44 per share that were set to expire in 2028, and the forgiveness of up to $2.7 million in accounts payable due to Alphia, provided the remaining outstanding accounts payable balance is paid within 90 days of the settlement date. The terms of the settlement on accounts payable are still outstanding as of June 30, 2024. As a result, there is no impact to accounts payable as of June 30, 2024. The book value of the Alphia term loan and the unamortized debt issuance costs were $3.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, on the date of forgiveness.

 

As a result of the settlement terms described above, the Company is not indebted to Alphia as it relates to the Term Loan Facility as of June 30, 2024.

 

Note 8 - Business Combinations

 

On February 9, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Aimia Pet Healthco, Inc. (“Aimia”) to develop treats and toppers that safely combat pet obesity.

 

The Company completed a business combination for a purchase price of $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 with common shares issued as consideration, which have been adjusted herein to reflect the Reverse Stock Split effective March 20, 2024. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“Topic 805”), total consideration was first allocated to the fair value of assets acquired, including liabilities assumed, with the excess being recorded as goodwill. For financial statement purposes, goodwill is not amortized but rather is evaluated for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an event or change in circumstances occurs that indicates goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes and will be amortized over a period of 15 years.

 

The recorded purchase price for the business combination includes an estimation of the fair value of equity interests, which is calculated based on the value of the Company’s common stock on the closing date.

 

Under ASC 805, a business combination involves the acquisition of a business, defined as an integrated set of activities and assets capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return to investors. The Company assessed whether the acquired entity constituted a business by evaluating its assets, processes, and outputs and determined the acquired set to be a business based on the inputs and substantive processes that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs.

 

Aimia is a pre-revenue business and there were no operating results related to this business combination to include in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 since the acquisition date.

 

Acquisition-related costs incurred in connection with business combinations are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred acquisition-related costs from this business combination of less than $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

13

 

In November 2023, Aimia entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) which establishes a research and development (“R&D”) partnership with doctors and a lab which would facilitate the development a GLP-1 supplement for pets. In connection with the MOU, the Company issued 6,818 shares to the R&D partners and the Company incurred $0.1 million of mergers and acquisitions expenses, which are recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Due to the timing of the completion of the acquisition, the purchase price and related allocation are preliminary and could be revised as a result of adjustments made to the purchase price, additional information obtained regarding assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and revisions of provisional estimates of fair values, including, but not limited to appraisals and valuations. The purchase price allocation will be finalized within the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date.

 

The table below provides a summary of the total consideration and the estimated purchase price allocation made for the business combination that became effective during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

   Aimia 
Common stock  $399,713 
Total consideration  $399,713 
      
Subscription receipts receivable  $1,100 
HST Receivable   856 
Goodwill   405,194 
Total assets acquired  $407,150 
      
AP and accruals  $7,437 
Total liabilities acquired  $7,437 
      
Net assets acquired  $399,713 

 

The factors contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill are based on expanding research and development to develop dog treats that mirror the weight loss benefits of brands including Slentrol, Wegovy, Ozempic, and Mounjaro with added protein and nutrients from the Company’s Halo products to promote lean muscle and overall pet health.

 

Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of borrowings under credit facilities approximates fair value because of the short-term nature and variable interest rates on these instruments approximates current market rates.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of the term loan based on a discounted cash flow method. The carrying value of the term loan was based on an accounting entry where proceeds from the loan were first allocated to the warrants liabilities. The following table presents the carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s term note and line of credit by hierarchy level:

 

   Fair Value    June 30, 2024   December 31, 2023 
   Hierarchy    Carrying Amount   Fair Value   Carrying Amount   Fair Value 
Term loan  Level 3 (1)  $   $   $2,881   $3,314 

 

(1)the fair value estimates are based on unobservable inputs reflecting management’s assumptions about inputs used in pricing the asset or liability

Note 10 – Commitments and contingencies

 

The Company has manufacturing agreements with its vendors that provides for the company to make its commercial best efforts to purchase minimum quantities in the ordinary course of business. There are no other purchase obligations as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

 

The Company may be involved in legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory, tax, or government inquiries and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business resulting in loss contingencies. The Company accrues for loss contingencies when losses become probable and are reasonably estimable. If the reasonable estimate of the loss is a range and no amount within the range is a better estimate, the minimum amount of the range is recorded as a liability. Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to expense in the period incurred and are recorded in SG&A expenses. The Company does not accrue for contingent losses that are considered to be reasonably possible, but not probable; however, the Company discloses the range of such reasonably possible losses. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed.

 

Litigation is subject to numerous uncertainties and the outcome of individual claims and contingencies is not predictable. It is possible that some legal matters for which reserves have or have not been established could result in an unfavorable outcome for the Company and any such unfavorable outcome could be of a material nature or have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. After consulting with legal counsel, management is not aware of any claims or lawsuits that may have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

 

Note 11 – Warrants

 

The following summarizes the Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Terminated   (364,044)  $54.83 
Warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2024   185,995   $213.58 

 

There is no intrinsic value of outstanding warrants as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

The anti-dilution provisions which previously precluded equity treatment of the warrants, expired on December 21, 2023, and thus the warrants were reclassified to additional paid in capital and presented in equity as of December 31, 2023. The settlement terms discussed in Note 7 - Debt provide for the termination of all 335,640 Warrants, which resulted in a net zero impact on equity. As a result, there are no Alphia warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

 

The warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2024, were issued during the year ended December 31, 2021 or prior and have an expiration date in 2026 or thereafter.

On November 11, 2019, the Company received shareholder approval for the Amended and Restated 2019 Incentive Award Plan (the “Amended 2019 Plan”). The Amended 2019 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, other stock or cash-based awards or a dividend equivalent award. The Amended 2019 Plan authorized the issuance of 24,621 shares of common stock which was increased to 34,091 after the Halo acquisition; the Amended 2019 Plan also provides for an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year beginning on January 1, 2020 and ending on and including January 1, 2029, equal to the lesser of (A) 10% of the shares of common stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares of common stock as determined by the Board; provided, however, not more than 204,546 shares of common stock shall be authorized for issuance. The authorized shares for issuance was increased to 61,364 on January 1, 2021, increased to 127,606 on January 1, 2022 and again increased to 194,493 on January 1, 2023.

Note 17 – Earnings per share

 

The Company presents net income per share on a basic and diluted basis for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and net loss per share on a basic and diluted basis for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Basic income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (“WASO”) during the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders are the same as the Company generated a net loss. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s basic and diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders are the same as the common stock equivalents are excluded from diluted net income per share as they have an anti-dilutive impact.

Note 18 – Subsequent events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued for potential recognition or disclosure. The Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements, other than the following:

 

On July 29, 2024, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with ThinkEquity LLC (the “Underwriter”), for an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 639,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a public offering price of $3.00 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase 1,028,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants” and together with the Shares, the “Securities”) at a public offering price of $2.99 per Pre-Funded Warrant, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million prior to deducting approximately $0.5 million of underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of Common Stock, at the public offering price per share, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments (the “Over-allotment Option”). The Company also issued representative warrants to purchase 83,350 shares of common stock (equal to 5% of the total number of shares sold in the public offering). The representative warrants will be exercisable at $3.75 per share, a per share exercise price equal to 125% of the public offering price per share of common stock sold in the offering. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of the classification of the warrants in accordance with Topic 480. The Securities were offered and sold to the public pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-280714), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 8, 2024, as amended, which became effective on July 29, 2024. The sale of the Securities in connection with the Offering closed on July 31, 2024.

 

On August 2, 2024, pursuant to and in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement and the Offering, the Underwriters provided notice that they would exercise the Over-allotment Option to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock at $3.00 per share. The sale of 100,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option closed on August 2, 2024. The Company has received gross proceeds of approximately $5.3 million for the Offering to date, including in connection with the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company.

 

In August 2024, the Company borrowed an additional $2.5 million from the Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility.

Overview and Outlook

 

Better Choice is a pet health and wellness company committed to leading the industry shift toward pet products and services that help dogs and cats live healthier, happier and longer lives. Our mission is to become the most innovative premium pet food company in the world, and we are motivated by our commitment to making products with integrity and treating pets and their parents with respect. We believe that our broad portfolio of pet health and wellness products are well positioned to benefit from the trends of growing pet humanization and an increased consumer focus on health and wellness, and have adopted a laser focused, channel specific approach to growth that is driven by new product innovation.

 

We sell our premium and super-premium products (which we believe generally includes products with a retail price greater than $0.20 per ounce) under the Halo brand umbrella, including Halo Holistic™, Halo Elevate® and the former TruDog brand, which was rebranded and successfully integrated under the Halo brand umbrella during the third quarter of 2022. Our core products sold under the Halo brand are made with high-quality, thoughtfully sourced ingredients for natural, science based nutrition. Each innovative recipe is formulated with leading veterinary and nutrition experts to deliver optimal health. Our diverse and established customer base has enabled us to penetrate multiple channels of trade, which we believe enables us to deliver on core consumer needs and serve pet parents wherever they shop. We group these channels of trade into three distinct categories: Digital, which includes the sale of product to online retailers such as Amazon and Chewy, as well as direct to consumer (“DTC”) which included the sale of product through the Company’s website, halopets.com, through June 1, 2024; International, which includes the sale of product to foreign distribution partners and to select international retailers; and Brick & Mortar, which primarily includes the sale of product to pet specialty retailers, independent pet stores, and regional distributors.

 

New product innovation represents the cornerstone of our growth plan, supported by our own research and development, and acquisitions. Our established supply and distribution infrastructure allows us to bring new products to market in nine months, generally. Our outsourced manufacturing model is flexible, scalable and encourages innovation allowing us to offer a breadth of assortment in dog and cat food products under the Halo brand, serving a wide variety of customer needs.

 

Halo is the brand for a new generation of pet parents. For millennial pet parents who view their pets as children, we believe Halo provides the world’s best nutrition for the world’s best kids. Halo offers two premium sub-lines of natural dog and cat food for this audience - Halo Holistic™, which includes the former TruDog brand, and Halo Elevate®.

 

Halo Holistic™ is designed for the pet parent seeking high-quality ingredients for digestive health. Halo Holistic is the only super premium pet food certified by the Global Animal Partnership and the Marine Stewardship Council, both of which are animal welfare organizations recognized worldwide. Halo Holistic also supports complete digestive health with prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics. Additionally, it’s made with whole animal proteins only and no meat meals.

 

Halo Elevate®, our second sub-line which launched during 2022, provides best-in-class nutrition. We believe it’s the only natural pet food with leading nutrient levels to support the top five pet parent health concerns which include digestive health, heart and immunity support, healthy skin and coat, hip and joint support and strength and energy. Each recipe delivers natural, science-based nutrition for optimal health. Both Halo Holistic and Halo Elevate® provide confidence and validation to empower millennial pet parents.

The Global Pet Food and Treat Market

 

The U.S. represents the largest and most developed market for pet food globally, with food and treats accounting for approximately $64 billion of total spend in the pet care market in 2023. According to the American Pet Product Association (“APPA”), approximately 63% of all households in the U.S. own a pet, equating to a 180 million adult consumers living in a household with a pet. Pet spending represents a significant portion of household spend on consumer products, as this translates to an average annual spend on pet products of more than $738 in 2023, which represents a 7.4% increase over the previous year.

 

According to the APPA, consumer spending on pets grew at an approximately 5% compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) in the decade leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic, with a significant spike during the pandemic, fueled by steady annual increases in household pet ownership, the continued premiumization of the category and the humanization of pets. Pet spending is forecasted to grow at a 15% CAGR between 2020 and 2024, with total pet spending to reach $251 billion by 2030. The surge in pet acquisition has led to an increase in the forecasted growth of the pet care industry over the next ten years. Moreover, according to the APPA, the vegan dog food industry expanded at a CAGR of 2.6% from 2018 to 2022, and it is anticipated that market growth for vegan dog food may continue from 2023 to 2033 at a CAGR of 7%. Human diets with less or no animal meat have gained popularity throughout the preceding decade.

 

From a demographic perspective, younger pet owners are more likely to spend a higher percentage of their income on pets, treat their pet as an important member of the family and to purchase products from pet specialty and online retailers rather than from grocery stores. Along these lines, women are 3.2 times more interested in purchasing pet food than men, and are 2.4 times more likely to engage with search ads than men. Taken holistically, these traits suggest a preference to purchase more premium and super-premium pet food and treats from brands like Halo, with a tendency to purchase products in the channels where we compete.

 

Globally, Asia is the second largest market for pet products, with China representing the largest market opportunity for growth. Like the U.S., growth in the Asian pet care industry has been driven by dramatic increases in household pet ownership. The global plant-based pet food market is set to expand its roots in the global market at a promising CAGR of 9.2%, while the market is anticipated to hold a revenue of USD $57.43 billion in 2032. We believe that growth in Asia is fueled by increasing levels of economic financial status and demand for premium, western manufactured products as a result of product quality concerns. This demand has been supported by a rapidly growing middle class in China, where a McKinsey report estimated that in 2018 roughly 730 million people in urban areas fell into the income categories of “aspirants” and “affluents,” with the Brookings group estimating that approximately 60 million people are added to these income categories each year. We believe that this growth drove the increase in the number of dog-owning Chinese households as measured by Euromonitor, which increased from 12% in 2015 to 20% in 2020, according to Euromonitor. According to Euromonitor, the Chinese market for premium dry dog and cat food is anticipated to grow at a 20% CAGR and 28% CAGR, respectively, from 2015 through 2025, suggesting that the Chinese pet market has significant room for growth in the foreseeable future. We are focused on targeting Chinese pet owners with the highest willingness to pay, which tend to be urban dwelling millennial and Gen-Z women. In 2021, 80% of our products were purchased online, and approximately 50% of our end-consumers were born after 1990.

 

Our Growth Strategy

 

Strong Innovation Pipeline. We have a robust and growing pipeline of new products, and believe our size is an advantage as we are nimble enough to quickly bring new products to market, but large enough to benefit from strong existing customer relationships and established economies of scale with our co-manufacturers.

 

Ability to Leverage Differentiated Omni-Channel Strategy for Growth. We believe that we can leverage our differentiated omni-channel strategy to design and sell products purpose-built for success in specific channels while maintaining our ability to leverage marketing and sales resources cross-channel. We believe that this strategy will allow us to deliver on core consumer needs, maximize gross margin and respond to changing channel dynamics that have accelerated in recent years.

 

Capitalize on Continuing Trends of Humanization of Pets. We believe our combination of innovative products designed specifically for certain channels can assist our growth to become a leader in the premium and super-premium categories across dog and cat food.

 

Well Positioned to Capitalize on a Once-in-a-Generation Demographic Shift in Asia. We believe that Asia represents the largest macro-growth opportunity in the global pet food industry. In China, the number of households that own a pet has doubled in the last five years, with younger pet owners leading growth.

In December 2023, the Company made a strategic exit out of Petco stores (while remaining on Petco.com), and Pet Supplies Plus. As of June 1, 2024, the Company has exited its DTC channel, in an effort to improve profitability. On March 25, 2024, Better Choice Company, Inc. (“BTTR”) initiated a legal action to enforce a right of first refusal (“ROFR”) option exercised by Alphia, Inc. (“Alphia”), which is controlled by a Paris-based private equity firm, PAI Partners. On June 20, 2024, the Company agreed to settlement terms of the lawsuit. The agreement dismisses the Company’s ongoing litigation with Alphia and provides for the forgiveness of the Company’s term loan, including $5.0 million in principal and $0.5 million of payable-in-kind (“PIK”) accrued interest, the termination of 335,640 warrants with a strike price of $11.44 per share that were set to expire in 2028, and the forgiveness of up to $2.7 million in accounts payable due to Alphia, provided the remaining outstanding accounts payable balance is paid within 90 days of the settlement date.

 

The Company was not in compliance with certain covenants related to the Alphia Term Loan Facility as of December 31, 2023 and the debt was callable by the lender. Refer to the Going concern considerations for additional information.

 

On April 15, 2024, the Company’s board of directors authorized and approved a stock repurchase plan (the “Repurchase Plan”) for up to $5 million of the currently outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock through December 31, 2024. Under the Repurchase Plan, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The Board also authorized the Company to enter into written trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. Adopting a trading plan that satisfies the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 would allow a company to repurchase its shares at times when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so due to self-imposed trading blackout periods or pursuant to insider trading laws. Under any Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, the Company’s third-party broker, subject to Securities and Exchange Commission regulations regarding certain price, market, volume and timing constraints, would have authority to purchase the Company’s common stock in accordance with the terms of the plan. The Company may from time to time enter into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans to facilitate the repurchase of its common stock pursuant to its Repurchase Plan. The Company has not made any purchasers under the Repurchase Plan, nor has it entered into any trading plans. The Company does not intend to make repurchases of its Common Stock but reserves the right to evaluate the market for the Common Stock and make a determination regarding repurchases at that time prior to December 31, 2024.

 

On April 24, 2024, the Company received a notice of noncompliance from the NYSE American. On May 24, 2024, we submitted a plan of compliance to NYSE American addressing how we intend to regain compliance, which plan has been accepted by the NYSE American. However, if we are not in compliance with the continued listing standards before the end of the cure period, or if we do not make progress consistent with the plan, the NYSE American may take steps to delist our common stock. Further, we received correspondence from the NYSE American on July 9, 2024, indicating noncompliance under a different requirement of the listing standards, since we reported stockholders’ equity of $1.1 million as of March 31, 2024, and had losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three out of its four most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and that which requires us to maintain a minimum stockholders’ equity of $4.0 million. We will need to take additional steps to regain compliance under this requirement as well, or the NYSE American may take steps to delist our common stock.

Net sales

 

We sell our products through online retailers, pet specialty and independent pet retailers and distributors, internationally to foreign distribution partners (transacted in U.S. dollars), and our website directly to consumers. We offer a variety of trade promotions, discounts and incentives to our customers, which impacts the transaction price of our products and our net sales accordingly. DTC net sales within the Digital channel includes revenue derived from shipping fees and are net of loyalty points earned (a portion of revenue is deferred at the time of the sale as points are earned and not recognized until the redemption of the points, estimated based on historical experience). We record a revenue reserve based on historical return rates to account for customer returns.

 

Information about our revenue channels is as follows (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended June 30,   Six Months Ended June 30, 
   2024   2023   2024   2023 
Digital (1)  $4,406    51%  $5,436    51%  $8,880    54%  $11,207    57%
International (2)   3,649    43%   3,875    37%   6,523    40%   6,185    31%
Brick & Mortar (3)   487    6%   1,225    12%   1,042    6%   2,381    12%
Net Sales  $8,542    100%  $10,536    100%  $16,445    100%  $19,773    100%

 

(1) The Company’s Digital channel includes two wholesale customers that amounted to greater than 10% of the Company’s total net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and represented $3.5 million and $6.6 million of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and $3.1 million and $6.9 million of net sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Additionally, DTC sales within the Digital channel amounted to greater than 10% of the Company’s total net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. DTC sales within the Digital channel were approximately $0.8 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and $1.7 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. As of June 1, 2024, the Company has exited its DTC channel in an effort to improve profitability. The Company historically reported the sales in this channel as E-commerce and DTC separately and has been consolidated into one revenue stream as of June 30, 2024.

 

22

 

(2) One of the Company’s International customers amounted to greater than 10% of the Company’s total net sales during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and represented $3.0 million and $5.2 million of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and $2.9 million and $5.0 million of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

 

(3) None of the Company’s Brick & Mortar customers represented greater than 10% of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or June 30, 2023. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Petco was included within the Brick & Mortar channel. Beginning in Q1 2024, Petco is presented within Digital as a result of the strategic exit out of Petco stores, while remaining on Petco.com.

 

Net sales decreased $(2.0) million, or (19)%, to $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Net sales decreased $(3.3) million, or (17)%, to $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $19.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily attributable to strategically exiting unprofitable customers in the Brick & Mortar channel at the end of 2023 and the shutdown of the DTC revenue stream in the second quarter of 2024.

 

Key factors that we expect to affect our future sales growth include new product innovation and launches, our expansion strategy in each of the sales channels and our key supplier relationships.

 

Gross profit

 

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the cost of product obtained from co-manufacturers, packaging materials, freight costs for shipping inventory to the warehouse, as well as third-party warehouse and order fulfillment costs. We review inventory on hand periodically to identify damaged, slow moving inventory, and/or aged inventory. Based on this analysis, we record inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with any reduction in value expensed as cost of goods sold.

 

Our products are manufactured to our specifications by our co-manufacturers using raw materials. We work with our co-manufacturers to secure a supply of raw materials that meet our specifications. In addition to procuring raw materials that meet our formulation requirements, our co-manufacturers manufacture, test and package our products. We design our packaging for our co-manufacturers and the packaging is shipped directly to them.

 

Our gross profit has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, primarily product sales mix, volumes sold, discounts offered to newly acquired and recurring customers, the cost of our manufactured products, and the cost of freight from the manufacturer to the warehouse.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, gross profit decreased $(0.3) million, or (9)%, to $3.3 million compared to $3.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, gross profit decreased $(1.0) million, or (14)%, to $5.9 million compared to $6.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Gross margin increased 403 basis points to 38% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 34% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Gross margin increased 114 basis points to 36% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 35% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily attributable to improved pricing from our manufacturers, and a shift in product sales mix due to efficient portfolio rationalization.

 

We continue to actively work with our co-manufacturing and freight partners to generate future cost savings and realize improved gross margins in future periods. We could see continued margin variability due to the current economic environment and pricing pressures due to inflationary costs for both transportation and raw materials. We will continue to refine and optimize our overall pricing strategy as we evaluate the future impact of inflation and align ourselves with the market.

Operating expenses

 

Our Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist of the following:

 

Sales and marketing costs, for specific customer promotional programs, paid media, content creation expenses and our DTC selling platform. Marketing costs are geared towards customer acquisition and retention and building brand awareness. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, sales and marketing costs decreased approximately $(1.0) million or (44)%, to $1.3 million from $2.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, sales and marketing costs decreased approximately $(1.7) million or (41)%, to $2.5 million from $4.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was driven primarily by lower marketing and advertising agency fees related to the Halo brand renovation and migration from the former TruDog brand, as well as decreased marketing support to our International sales channel.

 

Employee compensation and benefits decreased approximately $(0.5) million or (30)% during the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $1.1 million from $1.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Employee compensation and benefits decreased approximately $(0.7) million or (20)% during the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $2.6 million from $3.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily related to a reduction in employee headcount, partially offset by higher severance costs during the first half of 2024.

 

Share-based compensation includes expenses related to equity awards issued to employees and non-employee directors. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, Share-based compensation decreased $(0.1) million or (44)% to $0.2 million compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, Share-based compensation decreased by $(0.4) million, or (41)%, to $0.7 million, as compared to share-based compensation of $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease is driven by January 2023 grants which became fully vested in January 2024, resulting in a decrease to share-based compensation, partially offset by common stock issued for board service.

 

Freight, which is primarily related to the shipping of DTC orders to customers, decreased $(0.1) million or (38)% during the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $0.2 million compared to $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Freight decreased $(0.2) million or (28)% during the six months ended June 30, 2024 to slightly less than $0.5 million from $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Freight costs have been generally decreasing due to lower DTC sales as described above. The DTC channel was shut down as of June 1, 2024, which contributed to the decrease in freight costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Non-cash charges including depreciation, amortization, disposal or sale of assets and bad debt expense decreased by $(0.3) million or (60)% to $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Non-cash charges were $0.2 million and $0.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The decrease was driven by the full impairment of intangible assets as of December 31, 2023.

 

Other general and administrative costs for various general corporate expenses, including professional services, information technology, insurance, travel, costs related to merchant credit card fees, product development costs, rent, and certain tax costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, other general and administrative costs decreased $(0.2) million, or (15)% to $1.0 million compared to $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, other general and administrative costs increased $0.1 million, or 2% to $2.6 million compared to $2.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was driven by a decrease in DTC related expenses, travel expenses and recruitment fees. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was driven by an increase in transaction-related and litigation-related legal fees.

 

Interest expense, net

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, interest expense decreased by $(0.2) million, or (53)% to $(0.2) million from $(0.4) million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, interest expense decreased by $(0.1) million, or (11)% to $(0.5) million from $(0.6) million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 is comprised of interest on our Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility, Alphia Term Loan, the amortization of debt issuance costs, and interest accretion on the Alphia Term Loan. The decrease in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 is related to the forgiveness of the Alphia Term Loan, as discussed in Note 7 - Debt.

 

Income taxes

 

Our income tax provision consists of an estimate of federal and state income taxes based on enacted federal and state tax rates, as adjusted for any allowable credits, deductions and uncertain tax positions as they arise. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded income tax expense of less than $0.01 million, which relates to the gain on extinguishment of debt. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 we recorded income tax expense of less than $0.1 million, which related to indefinite-lived assets. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was less than 1%, which differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily because our losses have been fully offset by a valuation allowance due to uncertainty of realizing the tax benefit of NOLs.

Liquidity and capital resources

 

Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through the sales of shares of our common stock, warrants, preferred stock, and loans. In connection with our IPO, we issued and sold 181,818 shares of common stock at a price of $5.00 per share. On June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

 

We are subject to risks common in the pet wellness consumer market including, but not limited to, dependence on key personnel, competitive forces, successful marketing and sale of our products, the successful protection of our proprietary technologies, ability to grow into new markets, and compliance with government regulations. As of June 30, 2024, we have not experienced a significant adverse impact to our business, financial condition or cash flows resulting from geopolitical actions or threat of cyber-attacks. However, we have seen adverse impacts to our gross margin from time to time due to inflationary pressures in the current economic environment. Uncertainties regarding the continued economic impact of inflationary pressures, geopolitical actions and threat of cyber-attacks are likely to result in sustained market turmoil, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, and cash flows in the future.

 

We have historically incurred losses and expect to continue to generate operating losses and consume cash resources in the near term. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, meaning that we may be unable to generate sufficient operating cash flows to pay our short-term obligations. We have implemented and continue to implement plans to achieve operating profitability, including various margin improvement initiatives, the consolidation of and introduction of new co-manufacturers, the optimization of our pricing strategy and ingredient profiles, and new product innovation.

 

Our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by the potential worsening of global economic conditions, including inflationary pressures, he recent disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets in the United States and worldwide resulting from geopolitical tensions. If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to raise the necessary funds when needed or achieve planned cost savings, or other strategic objectives are not achieved, we may not be able to continue our operations, or we could be required to modify our operations that could slow future growth.

 

A summary of our cash flows is as follows (in thousands):

   Six Months Ended
June 30,
 
   2024   2023 
Cash flows (used in) provided by:          
Operating activities  $(986)  $(1,237)
Investing activities   (18)   (10)
Financing activities   (158)   (4,619)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents  $(1,162)  $(5,866)

 

Cash flows from operating activities

 

Cash used in operating activities decreased by $0.3 million, or 20%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in cash was primarily driven by a $6.6 million decrease in net loss, which was partially offset by the $(3.6) million gain recognized on extinguishment of the Alphia term loan. The decrease is also driven by significant fluctuations in our working capital, including a comparative decrease in inventory balance of $2.8 million.

 

Cash flows from investing activities

 

Cash used in investing activities was less than $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023. The cash used in investing activities is related to capital expenditures.

 

Cash flows from financing activities

 

Cash used in financing activities was $(0.2) million, during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and cash used in financing activities was $4.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was related to proceeds from the Wintrust revolving line of credit of $5.5 million, offset by payments on the Wintrust revolving line of credit of $(5.6) million. The cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was related to payment of the Wintrust revolving line of credit of $(13.5) million offset by proceeds from the Wintrust revolving line of credit of $1.9 million, $2.3 million from the Wintrust receivables facility and $5.0 million from the Alphia facility.

Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility

 

On June 21, 2023, the Company entered into an account purchase agreement with Wintrust Receivables Finance, a division of Wintrust Bank N.A. (“Wintrust”) pursuant to which Wintrust will purchase, at its discretion, eligible customer invoices and advance up to 75% of the face amount of all purchased amounts up to $4,750,000. Each advance under the AP Agreement will bear interest at the U.S. prime rate, plus 2.5%. The AP Agreement has an initial term of two years and will automatically renew annually unless terminated by the Company on at least 60 days’ notice. The Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility is secured by a general security interest in the assets of the Company. The Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility is guaranteed secured by the Company pursuant to that certain Unlimited Continuing Guaranty Agreement dated as of June 21, 2023.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the balance outstanding on the Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility amounted to $1.6 million.

 

Alphia Term Loan

 

On June 21, 2023, the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement with Alphia Inc., a leading custom manufacturer of super-premium pet food in the U.S. Pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement, Alphia made a term loan to the Company in the original principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan is also evidenced by that certain Term Note dated as of June 21, 2023 issued by the Company to Alphia (the “Term Note”). The proceeds of the Term Loan, together with a portion of the Company’s cash on hand, were used to retire all of the outstanding obligations of Halo, Purely for Pets, Inc. (“Halo”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, under Halo’s long-term credit facility with Old Plank Trail Community Bank, N.A., an affiliate of Wintrust Bank, N.A.

 

As described in Note 7 - Debt, on March 25, 2024, the Company initiated a legal action to enforce a right of first refusal option exercised by Alphia pursuant to the terms of a written agreement between Alphia and the Company whereby Alphia was to acquire the assets of Halo. On June 20, 2024, the Company agreed to settlement terms of the lawsuit. The agreement dismisses the Company’s ongoing litigation with Alphia and provides for the forgiveness of the Company’s term loan, including $5.0 million in principal and $0.5 million of payable-in-kind (“PIK”) accrued interest, the termination of 335,640 warrants with a strike price of $11.44 per share that were set to expire in 2028, and the forgiveness of up to $2.7 million in accounts payable due to Alphia, provided the remaining outstanding accounts payable balance is paid within 90 days of the settlement date.

 

As a result of the settlement terms described above, we are not indebted to Alphia as it relates to the Term Loan Facility as of June 30, 2024.

 

Contractual Commitments and Obligations

 

We are contractually obligated to make future cash payments for various items, including debt arrangements, certain purchase obligations, as well as the lease arrangement for our office. See “Note 7 - Debt” to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information about our debt obligations. Our purchase obligations include certain ongoing marketing projects, software subscriptions as well as in-transit or in-production purchase orders with our suppliers, for which amounts vary depending on the purchasing cycle. The majority of our software subscriptions are not under long-term contracts, and we do not have long-term contracts or commitments with any of our suppliers beyond active purchase orders. These purchase obligations were not material as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023 have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements and, therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting estimates. Accordingly, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates compared to the descriptions in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

Share-based compensation expense is measured based on the estimated fair value of awards granted to employees, directors, officers and consultants on the grant date. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur, therefore there are no forfeiture related estimates required.

 

The fair value of an option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option valuation model, which requires the development of input assumptions, as described in “Note 12 - Share-based compensation” of the Company’s Annual Form 10-K. Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards requires the input of the subjective assumptions described in “Note 12 - Share-based compensation” of the Company’s Annual Form 10-K. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this Item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our Principal Executive Officer or “PEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Financial Officer or “PFO”), we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024.

 

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we have concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q, when read with the notes thereto, present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Material Weaknesses

 

We previously reported three material weaknesses in the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting that were identified in connection with the audit of our fiscal year 2023 consolidated financial statements. A “material weakness” is defined under SEC rules as 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 by the Company’s internal controls. The material weaknesses relate to (i) failure to maintain controls over the operating effectiveness of cybersecurity and IT general controls; (ii) insufficient policies and procedures to review, analyze, account for and disclose complex transactions; (iii) failure to design and maintain controls over the operating effectiveness of revenue recognition controls.

 

Remediation of Prior Year Material Weaknesses

 

Cybersecurity and IT General Controls

 

To remediate the material weakness associated with failure to maintain controls over the operating effectiveness of cybersecurity and IT general controls, we have (i) fully transitioned to a new managed IT service provider with an appropriate level of knowledge and technical experience to design and maintain cybersecurity and IT general controls; (ii) established policies and procedures for the design and operation of IT generals controls and manual controls to prevent cybersecurity breaches, such as multi-factor authentication implemented and enforced, anti-virus and anti-malware software suites installed, a cybersecurity training platform for all employees through the industry leading KnowBe4 platform, and the dual approval of vendor payments and wiring instructions; (iii) sustained operation of our controls over a period that is appropriate in order to conclude that the controls are operating effectively.

 

27

 

Remediation Plan

 

Accounting for Complex Transactions

 

To address the material weakness in internal controls related to the accounting for complex accounting transactions, we have (i) added resources responsible for the execution and oversight of accounting and financial reporting operations; (ii) expanded the use of specialist involvement in highly complex and technical areas of accounting and valuation; and (iii) designed and implemented enhancements to internal control over financial reporting including those related to business combinations. We will continue ongoing remediation efforts related to enhancing our internal controls to include specific activities to assess the accounting for significant complex transactions.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

To address the material weakness in internal controls related to the revenue recognition, we continue to evaluate the design and operating effectiveness controls supporting revenue recognition and are in the process of enhancing certain controls over revenue, including adding resources and training programs addressing the design, implementation, and documentary evidence requirement of control procedures over revenue recognition for appropriate personnel.

 

Although we implemented measures and plan to implement additional measures to remedy our internal control deficiencies, there can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful. In addition, until the remediation steps have been completed and operated for a sufficient period of time, and subsequent evaluation of their effectiveness is completed, the material weaknesses identified and described above will continue to exist.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

We completed one acquisition for an aggregate purchase price of $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company continues to evaluate the internal control environment of the acquired entity and have not yet concluded on the integration and effectiveness of internal controls. Our assessment is ongoing to ensure that all controls are appropriately aligned and integrated with our existing framework. The acquisition represents less than 1% of our consolidated total assets and has no revenues as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

 

Our remediation efforts were ongoing during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Except for our ongoing remediation efforts of the material weaknesses described above, and the successful remediation of our material weakness related to cybersecurity and IT general controls, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter-ended June 30, 2024 that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we are subject to litigation and other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Subject to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and although no assurances are possible, we believe after discussing with legal counsel that there are no pending lawsuits or claims that, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or our yearly results of operations.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

There have been no material changes from the risk factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report filed on March 28, 2023. While we believe there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed, you should carefully consider, in addition to the other information set forth in this report, the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks facing our Company. In addition to risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies

Note 1 – Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies

 

Nature of the business

 

Better Choice Company Inc. (the “Company”) is a pet health and wellness company focused on providing pet products and services that help dogs and cats live healthier, happier and longer lives. The Company has a broad portfolio of pet health and wellness products for dogs and cats sold under its Halo brand across multiple forms, including foods, treats, toppers, dental products, chews and supplements. The products consist of kibble and canned dog and cat food, freeze-dried raw dog food and treats, vegan dog food and treats, oral care products and supplements.

 

Reverse stock split

 

On March 8, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-44, effective March 20, 2024 (the “Reverse Split”). In addition, the exercise prices of the Company’s underlying common stock purchase warrants and stock options were proportionately adjusted at the applicable reverse stock split ratio in accordance with the terms of such instruments. Proportionate voting rights and other rights of common stockholders were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split, other than as a result of the rounding up of fractional shares. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, 70,041 shares of common stock were issued in lieu of fractional shares.

 

Accordingly, all share and per share amounts related to the Company’s common stock for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted, where applicable, to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. The number of authorized shares and the par values of the common stock and convertible preferred stock were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reports and accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Results of operations for interim periods may not be representative of results to be expected for the full year.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC.

 

Consolidation

 

The condensed financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates these assumptions, judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the financial position as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Going concern considerations

 

The Company is subject to risks common in the pet wellness consumer market including, but not limited to, dependence on key personnel, competitive forces, successful marketing and sale of its products, the successful protection of its proprietary technologies, ability to grow into new markets, and compliance with government regulations. The Company has historically incurred losses and expect to continue to generate operating losses and consume cash resources in the near term. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, meaning that we may be unable to generate sufficient operating cash flows to pay our short-term obligations. The Company will need to either raise additional capital or obtain additional financing to maintain sufficient liquidity. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital, renewing or refinancing its existing debt or securing new financing. If the Company is unsuccessful in doing so, it may need to reduce the scope of its operations or sell certain assets.

 

 

The Company has implemented and continues to implement plans to achieve operating profitability, including various margin improvement initiatives, the consolidation of and introduction of new co-manufacturers, the optimization of pricing strategy and ingredient profiles, and new product innovation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and payments of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount of and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Summary of significant accounting policies

 

For additional information, please refer to the most recently filed Annual Report regarding the Company’s summary of significant accounting policies.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits held with banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of ninety days or less at acquisition date. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Share repurchases

 

In April 2024, the Company’s board of directors authorized and approved a stock repurchase plan (the “Repurchase Plan”) for up to $5.0 million of the currently outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock through December 31, 2024. Repurchased shares are immediately retired and returned to unissued status. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, no shares were repurchased.

 

Advertising

 

The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred and such charges are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense. The Company’s advertising expenses consist primarily of online advertising, search costs, email advertising and radio advertising. In addition, the Company reimburses its customers and third parties for in store activities and record these costs as advertising expenses. Advertising costs were $1.2 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Advertising costs were $2.3 million and $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts within the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to share-based compensation, previously presented as a separate line item, have been reclassified into selling, general and administrative expense to conform with current period presentation. All share-based compensation in the current and prior periods is a selling, general and administrative expense.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

Recently adopted

 

There were no new standards that would have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue

Note 2 – Revenue

 

The Company records revenue net of discounts, which primarily consist of trade promotions, certain customer allowances and early pay discounts.

 

The Company excludes sales taxes collected from revenues. Retail-partner based customers are not subject to sales tax.

 

The Company’s direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) loyalty program enables customers to accumulate points based on their spending. A portion of revenue is deferred at the time of sale when points are earned and recognized when the loyalty points are redeemed. The Company closed its DTC channel effective June 1, 2024 and expired the loyalty program as of June 30, 2024.

 

 

Revenue channels

 

The Company groups its revenue channels into three categories: Digital, which includes the sale of product to online retailers such as Amazon and Chewy, as well as DTC sales, which included the sale of product through the Company’s website through June 1, 2024; Brick & Mortar, which primarily includes the sale of product to Pet Specialty retailers, independent pet stores, and regional distributors; and International, which includes the sale of product to foreign distribution partners and to select international retailers (transacted in U.S. dollars).

 

Information about the Company’s net sales by revenue channel is as follows (in thousands):

Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility

 

On June 21, 2023, the Company entered into an account purchase agreement with Wintrust Receivables Finance (the “AP Agreement”), a division of Wintrust Bank N.A. (“Wintrust”) pursuant to which Wintrust will purchase, at its discretion, eligible customer invoices and advance up to 75% of the face amount of all purchased invoices, the maximum outstanding balance can be $4.8 million. Each advance under the AP Agreement will bear a variable interest rate at the prime rate plus 2.5% percentage per annum. The interest rate at June 30, 2024 was 11.0% per annum. The AP Agreement has an initial term of two years and will automatically renew annually unless terminated by the Company on at least 60 days’ notice. The Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility is guaranteed and secured by a general security interest in the assets of the Company. The Company continues to service the receivables, the transfers are at full recourse and the eligible customer invoices are not legally isolated from the Company. As such, the Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility was accounted for as a secured borrowing under ASC 860.

 

 

The Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility limits or restrict the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness; incur additional liens; make dividends and other restricted payments; make investments; sell, assign, transfer or dispose of certain assets; make optional prepayments of other indebtedness; engage in transactions with affiliates; and enter into restrictive agreements. The Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility does not include any financial covenants and if an event of default occurs, Wintrust is entitled to accelerate the advances made thereunder and exercise rights against the collateral. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with its restrictive financial covenants.

 

Borrowing under the Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility are classified as current debt as a result of a required lockbox arrangement and a subjective acceleration clause. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold receivables having an aggregate face value of $3.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively, in exchange for cash proceeds of $2.5 million and $5.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the balance outstanding on the Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility amounted to $1.6 million.

 

Alphia Term Loan Facility

 

On June 21, 2023, the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) with Alphia Inc. (“Alphia”), a custom manufacturer of super-premium pet food in the U.S. Pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement, Alphia made a term loan to the Company in the original principal amount of $5.0 million (the “Term Loan”). In conjunction with the Term Loan Agreement, the Company issued warrants to Alphia (see Note 11 – Warrants for further discussion). The proceeds of the Term Loan, together with a portion of the Company’s cash on hand, were used to retire all of the outstanding obligations of Halo, Purely for Pets, Inc. (“Halo”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, under Halo’s long-term credit facility with Old Plank Trail Community Bank, N.A., an affiliate of Wintrust Bank, N.A described above.

 

On March 25, 2024, the Company initiated a legal action to enforce a right of first refusal option exercised by Alphia pursuant to the terms of a written agreement between Alphia and the Company whereby Alphia was to acquire the assets of Halo. On June 20, 2024, the Company agreed to settlement terms of the lawsuit. The agreement dismisses the Company’s ongoing litigation with Alphia and provides for the forgiveness of the Company’s term loan, including $5.0 million in principal and $0.5 million of payable-in-kind (“PIK”) accrued interest, the termination of 335,640 warrants with a strike price of $11.44 per share that were set to expire in 2028, and the forgiveness of up to $2.7 million in accounts payable due to Alphia, provided the remaining outstanding accounts payable balance is paid within 90 days of the settlement date. The terms of the settlement on accounts payable are still outstanding as of June 30, 2024. As a result, there is no impact to accounts payable as of June 30, 2024. The book value of the Alphia term loan and the unamortized debt issuance costs were $3.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, on the date of forgiveness.

 

As a result of the settlement terms described above, the Company is not indebted to Alphia as it relates to the Term Loan Facility as of June 30, 2024.

Business Combinations

Note 8 - Business Combinations

 

On February 9, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Aimia Pet Healthco, Inc. (“Aimia”) to develop treats and toppers that safely combat pet obesity.

 

The Company completed a business combination for a purchase price of $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 with common shares issued as consideration, which have been adjusted herein to reflect the Reverse Stock Split effective March 20, 2024. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“Topic 805”), total consideration was first allocated to the fair value of assets acquired, including liabilities assumed, with the excess being recorded as goodwill. For financial statement purposes, goodwill is not amortized but rather is evaluated for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an event or change in circumstances occurs that indicates goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes and will be amortized over a period of 15 years.

 

The recorded purchase price for the business combination includes an estimation of the fair value of equity interests, which is calculated based on the value of the Company’s common stock on the closing date.

 

Under ASC 805, a business combination involves the acquisition of a business, defined as an integrated set of activities and assets capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return to investors. The Company assessed whether the acquired entity constituted a business by evaluating its assets, processes, and outputs and determined the acquired set to be a business based on the inputs and substantive processes that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs.

 

Aimia is a pre-revenue business and there were no operating results related to this business combination to include in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 since the acquisition date.

 

Acquisition-related costs incurred in connection with business combinations are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred acquisition-related costs from this business combination of less than $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

 

In November 2023, Aimia entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) which establishes a research and development (“R&D”) partnership with doctors and a lab which would facilitate the development a GLP-1 supplement for pets. In connection with the MOU, the Company issued 6,818 shares to the R&D partners and the Company incurred $0.1 million of mergers and acquisitions expenses, which are recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Due to the timing of the completion of the acquisition, the purchase price and related allocation are preliminary and could be revised as a result of adjustments made to the purchase price, additional information obtained regarding assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and revisions of provisional estimates of fair values, including, but not limited to appraisals and valuations. The purchase price allocation will be finalized within the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date.

 

The table below provides a summary of the total consideration and the estimated purchase price allocation made for the business combination that became effective during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

   Aimia 
Common stock  $399,713 
Total consideration  $399,713 
      
Subscription receipts receivable  $1,100 
HST Receivable   856 
Goodwill   405,194 
Total assets acquired  $407,150 
      
AP and accruals  $7,437 
Total liabilities acquired  $7,437 
      
Net assets acquired  $399,713 

 

The factors contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill are based on expanding research and development to develop dog treats that mirror the weight loss benefits of brands including Slentrol, Wegovy, Ozempic, and Mounjaro with added protein and nutrients from the Company’s Halo products to promote lean muscle and overall pet health.

Fair Value Measurements

Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of borrowings under credit facilities approximates fair value because of the short-term nature and variable interest rates on these instruments approximates current market rates.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of the term loan based on a discounted cash flow method. The carrying value of the term loan was based on an accounting entry where proceeds from the loan were first allocated to the warrants liabilities. The following table presents the carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s term note and line of credit by hierarchy level:

 

   Fair Value    June 30, 2024   December 31, 2023 
   Hierarchy    Carrying Amount   Fair Value   Carrying Amount   Fair Value 
Term loan  Level 3 (1)  $   $   $2,881   $3,314

Note 10 – Commitments and contingencies

 

The Company has manufacturing agreements with its vendors that provides for the company to make its commercial best efforts to purchase minimum quantities in the ordinary course of business. There are no other purchase obligations as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

 

The Company may be involved in legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory, tax, or government inquiries and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business resulting in loss contingencies. The Company accrues for loss contingencies when losses become probable and are reasonably estimable. If the reasonable estimate of the loss is a range and no amount within the range is a better estimate, the minimum amount of the range is recorded as a liability. Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to expense in the period incurred and are recorded in SG&A expenses. The Company does not accrue for contingent losses that are considered to be reasonably possible, but not probable; however, the Company discloses the range of such reasonably possible losses. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed.

 

Litigation is subject to numerous uncertainties and the outcome of individual claims and contingencies is not predictable. It is possible that some legal matters for which reserves have or have not been established could result in an unfavorable outcome for the Company and any such unfavorable outcome could be of a material nature or have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. After consulting with legal counsel, management is not aware of any claims or lawsuits that may have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

There is no intrinsic value of outstanding warrants as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

The anti-dilution provisions which previously precluded equity treatment of the warrants, expired on December 21, 2023, and thus the warrants were reclassified to additional paid in capital and presented in equity as of December 31, 2023. The settlement terms discussed in Note 7 - Debt provide for the termination of all 335,640 Warrants, which resulted in a net zero impact on equity. As a result, there are no Alphia warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

 

The warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2024, were issued during the year ended December 31, 2021 or prior and have an expiration date in 2026 or thereafter.

Note 17 – Earnings per share

 

The Company presents net income per share on a basic and diluted basis for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and net loss per share on a basic and diluted basis for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Basic income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (“WASO”) during the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders are the same as the Company generated a net loss. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s basic and diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders are the same as the common stock equivalents are excluded from diluted net income per share as they have an anti-dilutive impact.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, potentially dilutive securities not included in the calculation of diluted net income/(loss) per share, because to do so would be anti-dilutive, are as follows: 185,995 of stock equivalent warrants; 98,267 of stock equivalent employee stock options.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, potentially dilutive securities not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share, because to do so would be anti-dilutive, are as follows: 214,400 of stock equivalent warrants; 335,640 of warrant liabilities (148,758 First Tranche Warrant and 186,882 Second Tranche Warrant); 65,740 of stock equivalent employee stock options and 146 of stock equivalent other options.

 

The following table sets forth basic and diluted net (loss) earnings per share attributable to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

Note 18 – Subsequent events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued for potential recognition or disclosure. The Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements, other than the following:

 

On July 29, 2024, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with ThinkEquity LLC (the “Underwriter”), for an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 639,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a public offering price of $3.00 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase 1,028,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants” and together with the Shares, the “Securities”) at a public offering price of $2.99 per Pre-Funded Warrant, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million prior to deducting approximately $0.5 million of underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of Common Stock, at the public offering price per share, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments (the “Over-allotment Option”). The Company also issued representative warrants to purchase 83,350 shares of common stock (equal to 5% of the total number of shares sold in the public offering). The representative warrants will be exercisable at $3.75 per share, a per share exercise price equal to 125% of the public offering price per share of common stock sold in the offering. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of the classification of the warrants in accordance with Topic 480. The Securities were offered and sold to the public pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-280714), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 8, 2024, as amended, which became effective on July 29, 2024. The sale of the Securities in connection with the Offering closed on July 31, 2024.

 

On August 2, 2024, pursuant to and in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement and the Offering, the Underwriters provided notice that they would exercise the Over-allotment Option to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock at $3.00 per share. The sale of 100,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option closed on August 2, 2024. The Company has received gross proceeds of approximately $5.3 million for the Offering to date, including in connection with the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company.

 

In August 2024, the Company borrowed an additional $2.5 million from the Wintrust Receivables Credit Facility.

Reverse stock split

Reverse stock split

 

On March 8, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-44, effective March 20, 2024 (the “Reverse Split”). In addition, the exercise prices of the Company’s underlying common stock purchase warrants and stock options were proportionately adjusted at the applicable reverse stock split ratio in accordance with the terms of such instruments. Proportionate voting rights and other rights of common stockholders were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split, other than as a result of the rounding up of fractional shares. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, 70,041 shares of common stock were issued in lieu of fractional shares.

 

Accordingly, all share and per share amounts related to the Company’s common stock for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted, where applicable, to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. The number of authorized shares and the par values of the common stock and convertible preferred stock were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reports and accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Results of operations for interim periods may not be representative of results to be expected for the full year.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC.

 

Consolidation

Consolidation

 

The condensed financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of estimates

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates these assumptions, judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the financial position as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Going concern considerations

Going concern considerations

 

The Company is subject to risks common in the pet wellness consumer market including, but not limited to, dependence on key personnel, competitive forces, successful marketing and sale of its products, the successful protection of its proprietary technologies, ability to grow into new markets, and compliance with government regulations. The Company has historically incurred losses and expect to continue to generate operating losses and consume cash resources in the near term. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, meaning that we may be unable to generate sufficient operating cash flows to pay our short-term obligations. The Company will need to either raise additional capital or obtain additional financing to maintain sufficient liquidity. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital, renewing or refinancing its existing debt or securing new financing. If the Company is unsuccessful in doing so, it may need to reduce the scope of its operations or sell certain assets.

 

 

The Company has implemented and continues to implement plans to achieve operating profitability, including various margin improvement initiatives, the consolidation of and introduction of new co-manufacturers, the optimization of pricing strategy and ingredient profiles, and new product innovation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and payments of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount of and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Summary of significant accounting policies

 

For additional information, please refer to the most recently filed Annual Report regarding the Company’s summary of significant accounting policies.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits held with banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of ninety days or less at acquisition date. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Share repurchases

Share repurchases

 

In April 2024, the Company’s board of directors authorized and approved a stock repurchase plan (the “Repurchase Plan”) for up to $5.0 million of the currently outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock through December 31, 2024. Repurchased shares are immediately retired and returned to unissued status. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, no shares were repurchased.

 

Advertising

Advertising

 

The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred and such charges are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense. The Company’s advertising expenses consist primarily of online advertising, search costs, email advertising and radio advertising. In addition, the Company reimburses its customers and third parties for in store activities and record these costs as advertising expenses. Advertising costs were $1.2 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Advertising costs were $2.3 million and $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Reclassification

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts within the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to share-based compensation, previously presented as a separate line item, have been reclassified into selling, general and administrative expense to conform with current period presentation. All share-based compensation in the current and prior periods is a selling, general and administrative expense.
