Sabrina Simmons, Chief Financial Officer of Petco Health and Wellness Company, discussed the company's first quarter 2025 financial results on an earnings call. She stated that the company's top financial priority was restoring the health of its economic model through three pillars: gross margin expansion, SG&A leverage, and ROIC improvement, and reported that Petco delivered against all three in the quarter. She noted that comparable sales were down 1.3% and net sales down 2.3%, with the difference driven by net store closures. Simmons also addressed tariff exposure, stating that direct exposure sits within Petco's owned brands, with inventory purchases from China, Canada, and Mexico representing about 5% of total merchandise cost of goods sold, and that this figure rises to approximately 7% when accounting for revised and expanded lists of impacted countries. She indicated that indirect exposure primarily relates to national brand suppliers, with whom Petco has longstanding relationships.
