Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization PetMed Express, Inc. and subsidiaries, d/b/a PetMeds® (collectively, the "Company"), is a leading nationwide direct-to-consumer pet pharmacy and online provider of prescription and non-prescription medications, food, supplements, supplies and vet services for dogs, cats, and horses. The Company markets and sells directly to consumers through its websites, toll-free numbers, and mobile application. The Company offers consumers an attractive alternative for obtaining pet medications, foods, and supplies in terms of convenience, price, speed of delivery, and valued customer service. Founded in 1996, the Company's executive headquarters offices are currently located in Delray Beach, Florida. The Company has a March 31 fiscal year and references herein to fiscal 2024, 2023, or 2022 refer to the Company's fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include PetMed Express, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Business Combinations The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805 ("Business Combinations"). The purchase price is allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue and cash flows, discount rates and selection of comparable companies. The estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets could change due to numerous factors, including market conditions, technological developments, economic conditions, and competition. In connection with the determination of fair values, the Company may engage a third-party valuation specialist to assist with the valuation of intangible and certain tangible assets acquired and certain obligations assumed. Acquisition-related transaction costs incurred by the Company are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as an operating expense in the period in which the costs are incurred. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2024 and 2023 consisted of the Company’s cash accounts and money market accounts with a maturity of three months or less. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Use of Estimates The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Inventories Inventories consist of prescription and non-prescription pet medications and pet supplies that are available for sale and are priced at the lower of cost or net realizable value using a weighted average cost method. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence. The inventory reserve was approximately $72 thousand and $48 thousand at March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Our building is being depreciated over a period of thirty years. The furniture, fixtures, equipment, and computer software are being depreciated over periods ranging from three to ten years. Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the asset. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment annually on January 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate goodwill might be impaired. When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company has the option to choose whether it will apply a qualitative assessment first and then a quantitative assessment, if necessary, or to apply the quantitative assessment directly. The Company has concluded that it has one reporting unit and has assigned the entire balance of goodwill to this reporting unit The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment testing as of January 1, 2024 using a quantitative assessment and at that time concluded there was no impairment. Since then, the Company’s stock price decreased from $7.56 at December 31, 2023 to $4.79 at March 31, 2024. The Company considered the decrease in its stock price to be indicative of a risk that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. Therefore, the Company performed a quantitative impairment assessment as of March 31, 2024. Based on the assessment, the Company concluded that goodwill was not impaired because the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 27%. We estimated fair value using discounted cash flow and public company market approaches with a 70% and 30% weighting, respectively. A key assumption under the cash flow approach was a 27% weighted average cost of capital. A key assumption under the public company market approach was a 10% control premium. Intangible Assets The Company acquired definite-lived intangible assets in the acquisition (see Note 4) that will be amortized based on their estimated useful lives in accordance with ASC Topic 350 (“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”). These definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized over periods ranging from three to seven years. Acquired trade name is not being amortized and is subject to an annual review for impairment consistent with the existing intangible assets in fiscal 2024. Following the Company's annual impairment testing in fiscal 2024, it concluded there was no impairment of its intangible assets. Other Assets Other assets consist of the initial minority interest investment in Vetster. Details can be found in Note 16 below. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Advertising The Company's advertising expense consists primarily of Internet marketing and direct mail/print, . Internet costs are expensed in the month incurred and direct mail/print advertising costs are expensed when the related catalogs, brochures, and postcards are produced, distributed, or superseded. Leases The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842 ("Leases"). The Company reviews all contracts and determines if the arrangement is or contains a lease, at inception. Operating leases are reported as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current lease liabilities and long-term lease liabilities on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company does not have any material leases, individually or in the aggregate, classified as a finance lease. Operating lease ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any upfront lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. Approximately 48% of our Delray Beach property, or approximately 88,000 square feet was leased to two tenants. At March 31, 2024, the leases with these two tenants had a remaining weighted average lease term of one year. The Company recorded approximately $1.2 million , $0.7 million and $0.7 million in rental revenue in fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was included in other income. In 2024, the Company recorded $0.5 million of rental revenue associated with a PetCareRx lease which expired in April 2024. The Company expects to receive the following future lease payments, under the current lease agreements, over the next five years: $617 thousand in fiscal 2025; $112 thousand in fiscal 2026, and $0 thousand in fiscal 2027, 2028 and 2029. As of March 31, 2024, both leases were being negotiated. Comprehensive Income The Company applies ASC Topic 220 (“Reporting Comprehensive Income”) which requires that all items that are recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. The items of other comprehensive income that are typically required to be displayed are foreign currency items, minimum pension liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no components of comprehensive income and therefore does not report comprehensive income or Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740 (“Accounting for Income Taxes”) which generally requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax benefits or consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting carrying values and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws for the taxable years in which those differences are expected to reverse. As required by “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” guidance, which clarifies ASC Topic 740, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company applies “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” guidance to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open. The Company had no liabilities for uncertain tax positions for either fiscal 2024 or fiscal 2023. The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and Florida, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Idaho, Maryland, Michigan, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Georgia, Indiana, New York and the District of Columbia. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ending March 31, 2020, or earlier. Any interest and penalties related to income taxes will be recorded to other income (expenses). Business Concentrations The Company purchases its products from a variety of sources, including certain manufacturers, domestic distributors, and wholesalers. We have multiple suppliers for each of our product lines to obtain the lowest cost. There were seven and six suppliers from which we purchased approximately 78% and 69% of all products in fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. Accounting for Share Based Compensation The Company records compensation expense associated with restricted stock in accordance with ASC Topic 718 (“Share Based Payments”). The compensation expense related to all of the Company’s stock-based compensation arrangements is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
