Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026

• We operate our subscription business segment similar to other subscription-based businesses, with a focus on achieving a target margin prior to our new pet acquisition expense and acquiring as many pets as possible at our targeted average estimated internal rate of return.
• We provide a full suite of services and support for these products and they are designed to align with the target margin profile of our subscription business segment.
• We monitor average pet acquisition cost to evaluate the efficiency in acquiring new members and measure effectiveness based on our targeted return on investment.
• This business segment has, and targets, a significantly lower margin profile than our subscription business segment and is not part of our core business strategy.
• We expect that enrollment from Pets Best will continue to decline as it rolls off business and engages other third-party underwriters.
• Although stock-based compensation expenses are expected to remain recurring expenses for the foreseeable future, we believe excluding them allows investors to make meaningful comparisons between our recurring core business operating results and those of other companies.
• We operate our subscription business segment similar to other subscription-based businesses, with a focus on achieving a target margin prior to our pet acquisition expense and acquiring as many pets as possible at our targeted average estimated internal rate of return.
• This business segment has and targets, a significantly lower margin profile than our subscription business and is not part of our core business strategy.
• Our subscription business’s cost-plus model depends on our ability to estimate our operating costs and expenses, including veterinary invoice expenses, and to adjust our pricing to achieve our target margins.
• We regularly reevaluate and adjust the price of our subscriptions, with a goal of achieving our targeted payout ratio, subject to the review and approval of regulators where applicable.
• Over time, we plan to implement new initiatives to improve our member experience, make modifications to our subscription plan, introduce new coverage plans, pursue pet food or other adjacent opportunities, improve our technology, increase the number of veterinary hospitals using our patented direct pay software, and find other ways to maintain a strong value proposition for our members.
• As our mix of business between products and geographies changes, our metrics, such as our monthly average revenue per pet, and our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations will be impacted.
