Chewy delivered robust Q2 2024 results, showcasing strong execution, solid growth, and continued margin expansion in a normalizing pet industry.

Summary

Chewy reported Q2 net sales of $2.86 billion, growing 2.6% year-over-year and hitting the high end of their guidance range. The company demonstrated significant adjusted EBITDA margin expansion, reaching 5.1% (up 190 basis points YoY), and generated $91.5 million in free cash flow. CEO Sumit Singh highlighted the company’s strong performance:

“Our Q2 results reflect another quarter of strong execution against our strategic priorities. We delivered top-line growth at the high end of our guidance range, continued significant adjusted EBITDA margin expansion, and compelling free cash flow generation.”

Main Themes

  • Guidance: Full-year 2024 net sales outlook maintained at $11.6-$11.8 billion (4-6% YoY growth)
  • Profitability: Raised full-year 2024 adjusted EBITDA margin guidance to 4.5-4.7%
  • Competition: Market relatively stable, with Chewy competing effectively in consumables and health categories
  • Consumer Demand: Seeing signs of normalizing pet industry, with improvements in customer acquisition and retention
  • New Initiatives: Chewy Vet Care and Sponsored Ads performing well, contributing to growth and profitability

Insights

  • Active customers grew modestly on a sequential basis to approximately 20.0 million, marking the first sequential growth since Q1 2023
  • Net sales per active customer (NSPAC) reached a new record high of $565, growing 6.2% YoY
  • Autoship customer sales grew 5.8% YoY, representing 78.4% of total net sales
  • Mobile app orders increased approximately 15% YoY, with unique customers placing orders through the app up 13%

Market Opportunity

Chewy is capitalizing on the continued secular trend towards e-commerce in the pet industry. The company is seeing success in attracting new customers and reactivating lapsed ones, indicating a large pool of prospective customers yet to be introduced to their ecosystem. With less than 20% of orders currently transacting through their app (compared to 60%+ for similar-sized businesses), Chewy sees significant growth potential in mobile engagement.

Customer Behaviors

Chewy is observing improvements in customer acquisition, reactivation, and retention:

  1. New-to-Chewy customers are exceeding internal expectations
  2. Reactivation of lapsed customers is accelerating
  3. Enhanced focus on retention, including improved onboarding and post-purchase experiences

These trends are contributing to reduced churn and improved second-order purchase rates. Additionally, customers using the mobile app show higher units per order and better retention rates.

Key Metrics

Financial Metrics:

  • Q2 Net Sales: $2.86 billion (+2.6% YoY)
  • Gross Margin: 29.5% (+120 bps YoY)
  • Adjusted EBITDA: $144.8 million (5.1% margin, +190 bps YoY)
  • Free Cash Flow: $91.5 million

KPIs:

  • Active Customers: ~20.0 million
  • Net Sales per Active Customer (NSPAC): $565 (+6.2% YoY)
  • Autoship Customer Sales: 78.4% of total net sales (+230 bps YoY)
  • Mobile App Orders: +15% YoY

“Our Q2 adjusted EBITDA results reflect our ongoing rigor around managing our operating expenses and driving operational efficiencies, where we over-delivered relative to our internal expectation.” – Sumit Singh, CEO

Competitive Differentiators

  1. Strong Autoship program driving customer loyalty and predictable revenue
  2. Expanding gross margins through mix shift towards higher-margin categories
  3. Efficient operations and automation leading to cost savings
  4. Growing Sponsored Ads business contributing to profitability
  5. Innovative initiatives like Chewy Vet Care expanding the company’s ecosystem

Key Risks

  1. Potential slowdown in pet industry growth
  2. Increased competition from larger online platforms
  3. Dependence on discretionary consumer spending
  4. Execution risks associated with new initiatives like Chewy Vet Care
  5. Potential margin pressure from promotional activities in hard goods category

Analyst Q&A Focus Areas

  1. Mobile app strategy and its impact on customer engagement
  2. Sustainability of gross margin expansion
  3. Trends in customer acquisition and retention
  4. Performance and expansion plans for Chewy Vet Care
  5. Competitive landscape and promotional environment

Chewy Summary:

Chewy’s Q2 2024 results demonstrate the company’s ability to execute effectively in a normalizing pet industry. With strong growth in high-margin categories, improving customer metrics, and successful new initiatives, Chewy is well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory. Investors should watch for further expansion of the Chewy Vet Care business, continued traction in mobile app usage, and the company’s ability to maintain its margin expansion while navigating potential competitive pressures.
