CENTRAL GARDEN & PET ANNOUNCES Q2 FISCAL 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Delivers fiscal 2025 Q2 GAAP EPS of $0.98 vs. $0.93 and non-GAAP EPS of $1.04 vs. $0.99 a
year ago amid softer sales in the quarter
Reaffirms outlook for fiscal 2025 non-GAAP EPS of $2.20 or better
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – Central Garden & Pet Company (NASDAQ: CENT) (NASDAQ:
CENTA) (“Central”), a market leader in the pet and garden industries, today announced financial
results for its fiscal 2025 second quarter ended March 29, 2025.
“We are pleased with our solid second-quarter results. Despite expected softer sales, our
continued focus on improving productivity and execution of our Cost and Simplicity program drove
margin and earnings per share growth above last year’s performance,” said Niko Lahanas, CEO of
Central Garden & Pet. “Although a significant portion of the garden season is still ahead, and
notwithstanding the uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, we are reaffirming our
fiscal year outlook and remain committed to delivering on our Central to Home strategy with
excellence.”
All comparisons are against the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
Fiscal 2025 Second Quarter Financial Results
Net sales were $834 million, a decrease of 7%.
Gross profit was $273 million, a decrease of 2%. Gross margin expanded by 180 basis
points to 32.8%, driven by productivity efforts from Central's Cost and Simplicity program.
SG&A expense was $180 million, a decrease of 3% reflecting cost discipline across the
organization. Due to lower net sales, SG&A as a percentage of net sales increased by 100 basis
points to 21.6%.
Operating income was $93 million, in line with the prior year. Operating margin expanded
by 80 basis points to 11.2%. Non-GAAP operating income was $99 million, also in line with the
prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin expanded by 80 basis points to 11.8%.
Net interest expense was $9 million compared to $11 million.
Exhibit 99.1
Net income was $64 million, an increase of 3%. Non-GAAP net income was $68 million,
also an increase of 3%.
Earnings per share were $0.98, an increase of $0.05. Non-GAAP Earnings per share were
$1.04, also an increase of $0.05.
Adjusted EBITDA of $123 million was $1 million below the prior-year quarter.
The effective tax rate was 23.5% compared to 23.4% in the prior year.
Pet Segment
Net sales for the Pet segment were $454 million, a decrease of 6%, driven primarily by the
timing of customer orders and promotional events that shifted sales into the first quarter and
assortment rationalization and softer demand in durable pet products in the second quarter.
Pet segment operating income was $61 million, a decrease of 3%. Operating margin
expanded by 40 basis points to 13.4%. Non-GAAP operating income was $66 million, an
improvement of 5%. On a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin expanded by 150 basis points to
14.5%, driven by productivity improvements.
Pet segment adjusted EBITDA of $75 million was $2 million above the prior-year quarter.
Garden Segment
Net sales for the Garden segment were $380 million, a decrease of 10%, primarily due to
customers shifting pre-season orders into the first quarter, unfavorable weather resulting in a late-
breaking spring selling season and the loss of two product lines in Central's third-party distribution
business.
Garden segment operating income was $59 million, an increase of 3%. Operating margin
expanded by 190 basis points to 15.5% driven by productivity efforts.
Garden segment adjusted EBITDA of $69 million was $4 million below the prior-year
quarter.
Exhibit 99.1
Liquidity and Debt
The cash and cash equivalents balance at the end of the quarter was $517 million, an
improvement of $215 million driven by earnings and ongoing inventory reduction efforts over the
last 12 months.
Cash used by operations during the quarter was $47 million compared to $25 million a year
ago.
Total debt as of March 29, 2025, and March 30, 2024, was $1.2 billion. The gross leverage
ratio, as defined in Central's credit agreement, at the end of the second quarter, was 2.9x, in line
with the prior-year quarter.
Central repurchased 1.2 million shares or $41 million of its stock during the quarter. After
the second quarter end, Central repurchased an additional 1.2 million shares or $39 million of its
stock through April 30, 2025. As of April 30, 2025, $63 million remained available for future stock
repurchases.
Cost and Simplicity Program
Central continues to achieve meaningful progress in its multi-year Cost and Simplicity
program, which comprises a comprehensive suite of initiatives across procurement, manufacturing,
logistics, portfolio management, and administrative expenditures. These initiatives are intended to
streamline operations, enhance organizational efficiency, and drive simplification across the
enterprise.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, Central began winding down its operations in the
United Kingdom and is moving to a direct-export model to service customers in the U.K. and
certain European markets. As a result, Central's Pet segment incurred $5.3 million in initial costs,
including $4.4 million in cost of goods sold and $0.9 million in selling, general and administrative
costs, all of which was non-cash.
Exhibit 99.1
Fiscal 2025 Guidance
Central continues to expect fiscal 2025 non-GAAP EPS to be $2.20 or better. This outlook
reflects an expected shift in consumer behavior amid macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty,
challenges within the brick-and-mortar retail landscape, and the weather variability anticipated for
the remainder of the fiscal year. This outlook excludes the potential impact from further changes in
tariff rates, or from acquisitions, divestitures, or restructuring activities that may occur during fiscal
2025, including initiatives associated with the Cost and Simplicity program.
Central anticipates fiscal 2025 capital expenditures of approximately $60 million.

Exhibit 99.1
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, to supplement the financial results prepared in accordance with
GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP net income and diluted net income per share, non-GAAP operating
income, and adjusted EBITDA. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of specific items (described
below) in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance. Also, Management believes that these non-
GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors in their assessment of our ongoing operating performance and provide additional
meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. While Management believes that non-GAAP
measures are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our GAAP financial results and should be
read in conjunction with those GAAP results.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined by us as income before income tax, net other expense, net interest expense and depreciation and
amortization and stock-based compensation expense (or operating income plus depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based
compensation expense). Adjusted EBITDA further excludes one-time charges related to facility closures. We present adjusted EBITDA
because we believe that adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the cash flows and performance of our business
and provides greater transparency into our results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management to perform such evaluations.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash flow from operations, income from operations or other
income statement measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors, securities
analysts and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results.
Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently and it may not be comparable.
The reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in
accordance with GAAP are shown in the tables below.
Non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:
•Facility closures: we have excluded the charges related to our decision to close distribution and manufacturing facilities as they
represent infrequent transactions that impact the comparability between operating periods. We believe these exclusions
supplement the GAAP information with a measure that may be useful to investors in assessing the sustainability of our operating
performance.
From time to time in the future, there may be other items that we may exclude if we believe that doing so is consistent with the goal of
providing useful supplemental information to investors and management.
1.During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we recognized incremental expense of $5.3 million in the consolidated statement of
operations, related to the decision to wind-down our operations in the U.K. and the related facility there as we move to a direct-
export model.
2.During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we recognized incremental expense of $5.3 million in the consolidated statement of
operations, from the closure of a manufacturing facility in Chico, California, and the consolidation of our Southeast distribution
network.
