CENTRAL GARDEN & PET ANNOUNCES Q3 FISCAL 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Delivers fiscal 2025 Q3 GAAP EPS of $1.52 vs. $1.19 and non-GAAP EPS of $1.56 vs. $1.32 a year ago
Reaffirms outlook for fiscal 2025 non-GAAP EPS of approximately $2.60
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – Central Garden & Pet Company (NASDAQ: CENT) (NASDAQ: CENTA) (“Central”), a leading company in the pet and garden industries, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2025 third quarter ended June 28, 2025.
“We’re proud of our solid third-quarter performance, which reflects the strength of our strategic priorities in action,” said Niko Lahanas, CEO of Central Garden & Pet. “Our team’s dedication, collaboration across business units and strong execution—especially through our Cost and Simplicity program—drove meaningful margin expansion and year-over-year GAAP and non-GAAP earnings growth despite expected softer sales. Even in the face of broader macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, we continue to deliver on our Central to Home strategy with excellence and consistency.”
All comparisons are against the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter Financial Results
Net sales were $961 million, a decrease of 4%.
Gross profit was $332 million, an increase of 5%. Gross margin expanded by 280 basis points to 34.6%, driven by productivity efforts from Central's Cost and Simplicity program.
SG&A expense was $197 million, a decrease of 2% reflecting cost discipline across the organization. Due to lower net sales, SG&A as a percentage of net sales increased by 30 basis points to 20.5%.
Operating income was $135 million, an increase of 17%. Operating margin expanded by 250 basis points to 14.1%. Non-GAAP operating income was $139 million, an increase of 9%. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin expanded by 170 basis points to 14.5%.
Net interest expense was $9 million compared to $10 million.
Net income was $95 million, an increase of 19%. Non-GAAP net income was $98 million, an increase of 11%.
Earnings per share were $1.52, an increase of 28%. Non-GAAP earnings per share were $1.56, an increase of 18%.
Adjusted EBITDA was $167 million, an increase of $11 million.
The effective tax rate was 25.1% compared to 24.0% in the prior year.
Pet Segment
Net sales for the Pet segment were $493 million, a decrease of 3%, driven primarily by assortment rationalization and softer demand in durable pet products in the third quarter.
Pet segment operating income was $76 million, a decrease of 8%. Operating margin contracted by 90 basis points to 15.5%. Non-GAAP operating income was $78 million, a decrease of 6%. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin contracted by 60 basis points to 15.8%.
Pet segment adjusted EBITDA of $88 million was $6 million below the prior-year quarter.
Garden Segment
Net sales for the Garden segment were $468 million, a decrease of 4%, primarily due to the loss of two product lines in Central's third-party distribution business and a late spring negatively impacting some of the garden businesses.
Garden segment operating income was $83 million, an increase of 33%. Non-GAAP operating income was $85 million, an improvement of 16%. Operating margin expanded by 490 basis points to 17.7% driven by productivity efforts. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin expanded by 310 basis points to 18.2%, driven by productivity efforts.
Garden segment adjusted EBITDA was $96 million, an increase of $11 million.
Liquidity and Debt
The cash and cash equivalents balance at the end of the quarter was $713 million, an improvement of $143 million driven by earnings and ongoing inventory reduction efforts over the last 12 months.
Cash provided by operations during the quarter was $265 million compared to $286 million a year ago.
Total debt as of June 28, 2025, and June 29, 2024, was $1.2 billion. The gross leverage ratio, as defined in Central's credit agreement, at the end of the third quarter, was 2.9x, compared to 3.0x in the prior-year quarter.
Central repurchased 1.7 million shares or $55 million of its stock during the quarter. As of the quarter-end, $46 million remained authorized for future stock repurchases.
Cost and Simplicity Program
Central continues to make solid progress on its multi-year Cost and Simplicity program—a broad set of initiatives across procurement, manufacturing, logistics, portfolio management, and administrative spending—focused on streamlining operations, boosting efficiency, and simplifying the organization at every level.
In the second quarter, Central began the wind-down of its U.K. operations moving to a direct export-only model. As a result, in the third quarter, the Pet segment incurred an incremental charge of $1.7 million.
Also in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, Central began to consolidate two outdated garden distribution facilities in Ontario, California and Salt Lake City, Utah, into a larger, modern facility in Salt Lake City. As a result, in the third quarter the Garden segment incurred a charge of $2.2 million.
Fiscal 2025 Guidance
Central continues to expect fiscal 2025 non-GAAP EPS to be approximately $2.60. This outlook reflects an expected shift in consumer behavior amid macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, challenges within the brick-and-mortar retail landscape, and uncertainty about the duration of the garden selling season for the remainder of the fiscal year. This outlook excludes the potential impact from further changes in tariff rates, or from acquisitions, divestitures, or restructuring activities that may occur during fiscal 2025, including initiatives associated with the Cost and Simplicity program.
Central anticipates fiscal 2025 capital expenditures of approximately $50 to $60 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, to supplement the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measures including non-GAAP net income and diluted net income per share, non-GAAP operating income, and adjusted EBITDA. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of specific items (described below) in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance. Also, Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors in their assessment of our ongoing operating performance and provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. While Management believes that non-GAAP measures are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our GAAP financial results and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined by us as income before income tax, net other expense, net interest expense and depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense (or operating income plus depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense). Adjusted EBITDA further excludes charges related to facility closures. We present adjusted EBITDA because we believe that adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the cash flows and performance of our business and provides greater transparency into our results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management to perform such evaluations. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash flow from operations, income from operations or other income statement measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently and it may not be comparable.
The reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are shown in the tables below.
Non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:
•Facility closures and business exit: we have excluded charges related to the closure of distribution and manufacturing facilities and our decisions to exit the businesses as they represent infrequent transactions that impact the comparability between operating periods. We believe these exclusions supplement the GAAP information with a measure that may be useful to investors in assessing the sustainability of our operating performance.
•Tax impact: adjustment represents the impact of the tax effect of the pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments excluded from non-GAAP net income. The tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments is calculated based on the consolidated effective tax rate on a GAAP basis, applied to the non-GAAP adjustments.
From time to time in the future, there may be other items that we may exclude if we believe that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful supplemental information to investors and management.
1.During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we recognized incremental expense of $3.9 million in the consolidated statement of operations, $2.2 million in our Garden segment related to closing a distribution facility in Ontario, California and beginning the consolidation of our Western distribution network and an incremental $1.7 million in our Pet segment related to the previous quarter's decision to wind-down our operations in the U.K.
2.During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we recognized incremental expense of $5.3 million in the consolidated statement of operations related to the decision to wind-down our operations in the U.K. and the related facility there as we move to a direct-export model.
3.During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we recognized incremental expense of $11.1 million in the consolidated statement of operations from the decision to exit the pottery business, the closure of a live goods distribution facility in Delaware and the relocation of our grass seed research facility.
4.During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we recognized incremental expense of $5.3 million in the consolidated statement of operations from the closure of a manufacturing facility in Chico, California, and the consolidation of our Southeast distribution network.
