    79 Madison Ave, 2nd Floor New York, NY. 10016 www.haydencapital.com January 10, 2017 The Elevator Pitch Zooplus (ETR: ZO1, Price: €122) is the leading online retailer of pet food and supplies in Europe. Generally, in a commoditized market such as selling pet food, the lowest cost provider with the best customer service has the “right to win”. We believe that Zooplus will be this winner, given its structural cost advantage versus its competitors (which we explore below). Additionally, customer satisfaction is extremely high, and we can clearly see customers’ appreciation for the company’s value proposition, as evidenced by the 94% sales retention rate. These unbeatable low prices and high customer satisfaction have led to a 31% annualized sales growth rate since 2010, while still possessing a long runway for continued expansion. We believe the market is underestimating the long-term earnings power of the firm and consequently significantly undervaluing the company. For instance, the stock is currently trading at 0.9x 2016 sales while comparable acquisitions have taken place at 2 – 6x multiples. Additionally, we believe at maturity, the business will have normalized operating margins of 8 - 10%, implying a valuation of ~10x normalized EBIT. This is extremely cheap for a dominant company with 50% market share in its category, a clear and growing advantage versus competitors, and profitable growth of 20 - 25% per year going forward. As the business grows, this will only increase its competitive advantage due to economies of scale, resulting in lower cost of goods and shipping costs per order. It is hard to put a static price target on a company growing its value so quickly.

  • 2013 Annual Report
    2013 Annual Report Letter to our Stockholders April 25, 2014 Dear Fellow Stockholders: This was a very exciting year in our company history as we celebrated our 20th listing anniversary on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange. We are pleased that 2013 marked the fourth consecutive year of double-digit earnings per share growth and a record high year for earnings before tax margin. Our ability to continue to consistently deliver against our long-term shareholder value strategy is a testament to our ability to manage what we can control even in an uncertain macroeconomic environment. In 2013, we generated $6.9 billion in net sales, including services sales of $766 million, on comparable store sales growth of 2.7%. Overall, earnings before tax increased to $642 million, or 9.3% of sales, resulting in earnings per share of $4.02. We generated $615 million in operating cash flow, and spent $147 million in capital expenditures, adding 55 net new stores and 3 new PetsHotels. As a result of our strong cash generation, we returned $54 million in quarterly dividends to our shareholders, and repurchased $464 million in common stock. In September, our Board of Directors approved a new $535 million share repurchase program and increased our quarterly dividend by 18% to 19.5 cents per quarter, reinforcing our commitment to return excess free cash flow to our shareholders. Fundamentally, we believe that pets make us better people. This belief allows us to play a unique role centered around creating more moments for people to be inspired by pets through our strategic pillars of caring for our customers, caring for our associates, and caring for our communities.

PetSmart Searches for a Sustainable Strategy Abstract This case details a PetSmart’s struggle to find a sustainable strategy. It was started as a “big box” pet specialty category killer store in 1986. It went public in 1993 and rapidly expanded through acquisition. It focused on product variety and price which put it in direct competition with mass merchants, especially discounters and wholesale clubs. Loses in the 1990s led the company to hire Philip Francis to turn the operation around. As a result of restructuring dictated by Mr. Francis, PetSmart became profitable. Its supply chain was improved by adding distribution centers, standardizing and down-sizing stores, improving product quality, increasing services offered, moving away from a low price orientation, and developing a customer and pet friendly in-store experience. Robert Moran took over leadership of PetSmart in 2009. His emphasis has been on realizing the humanization of pets as members of the family, focusing on PetSmart’s target market, increasing store productivity, and adding new stores more slowly.

  • Petco Hasn't Learned New Tricks Under TPG and Leonard Green
    September 2015 A Report by UNITE HERE Contact: Alyssa Giachino 310-795-5537 [email protected] PetCo hasn’t learned new tricks under TPG and Leonard Green Despite years of private equity ownership, PetCo lags its competition Key points: n PetCo, a retailer of pet supplies and services controlled by private equity firms TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Partners, recently filed for IPO. n TPG and Leonard Green’s nine year hold period for PetCo far exceeds the private equity industry average. n PetCo’s EBITDA growth has slowed significantly since 2012. n During the nine years of TPG and Leonard Green’s ownership (2006-2015), PetCo has trailed its main rival, PetSmart, by several metrics. n Since 2005, PetSmart has seen its operating and EBITDA margins expand. PetCo’s operat- ing and EBITDA margins shrunk over the same period. n Despite continuing to trail its main peer, combined deal fees paid by PetCo during TPG and Leonard Green’s two phases of ownership were at least $104 million. n TPG and Leonard Green have loaded on additional debt to PetCo to extract dividends in a series of dividend recapitalizations. PetCo’s leverage increased significantly over the period. Introduction PetCo, a retailer of pet supplies and services, has been under the control of private equity firms TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Partners for 12 of the past 15 years. Since 2000, TPG and Leonard Green have taken the firm private twice and recently filed to take it public for a second time. Photo: Mike Mozart (CC BY 2.0) 1 Over that period, TPG and Leonard Green have extracted $1.7 billion in fees and dividends from PetCo.

  • SPECIAL REPORT April 2013 Adopter Survey
    April 2013 New Adopter Survey Aggregate Results Survey Objectives Pethealth conducted a comprehensive adopter survey in April 2013 designed as a follow-up to a similar survey conducted in April of 2012, and to provide greater insight to three key objectives; 1. Determining the difference in purchasing behavior between those who adopt from an animal welfare organization (AWO) and those who adopt at a pet specialty retailer. 2. Determining if shelter pet food programs, which feature the distribution of free bags of food to new adopters, create loyalty among adopters for those brands and whether AWOs or pet specialty retailers have a greater impact on that brand’s loyalty. 3. Determining the degree to which pet adopters purchase pet supplies and pet pharmacy items online. 2 Survey Methodology The survey distribution was compiled using new pet adopter data collected through AWOs using our own industry leading PetPoint application for the period March 2012 to March 2013. Launched in 2005, PetPoint is a cloud-based animal management application developed specifically for AWOs, and allows Pethealth to aggregate more data on dogs and cats in AWOs than any other company. As the most widely used application in animal welfare, licensed by nearly 2,000 AWOs, it is one of the industries largest and most accurate repositories of information related to the animal welfare industry, and is now widely regarded by leading industry analysts as the leading source of data relating to AWOs.

  • February 16, 2021 Open Letter to Federal, State & Local Government Officials Regarding Pets and COVID-19 Precautions We in T
    February 16, 2021 Open Letter to Federal, State & Local Government Officials Regarding Pets and COVID-19 Precautions We in the responsible pet care community commend the swift actions you and your peers across the country are taking to protect human health and reduce the current surge in COVID-19 infection cases. As you take these critical steps to control the spread of the disease, including again directing business closures, we urge you to continue to take into account the well-being of the pets and other animals loved and cared for by the citizens in your communities. Nearly 85 million American households own at least one pet, and 95% of pet owners consider their pets to be part of the family, according to the 2019-2020 American Pet Products Association National Pet Owners Survey. As the population faces the ongoing effects of the pandemic, including mental stress and prolonged social isolation, many people turn to their pets for comfort and companionship. The ranks of pet owners have also swelled as unprecedented numbers of people welcomed new pets into their lives over the past months. It is vital that businesses that provide the products, services or housing necessary for pet care, and the pets themselves, are included among the critical infrastructure that is allowed to remain open. Just as grocery stores and hospitals provide necessary sustenance and medical care to humans, pet stores that sell food, products and supplies, and businesses that offer veterinary, boarding and grooming services, must remain operational to ensure the continued humane care of companion animals. Pet stores supply nearly one-third of all dog and cat food; that number is much higher for food required for pets like small mammals, reptiles and fish.
