this equates to a decrease in sales of three percent year over year compared to a double digit decline in fiscal year twenty twenty two one of the reasons that we're pleased with the quarter was that we saw an increase in that new customers of nine percent year over year this is an important milestone for the company does we've not seen an increase in that new customers and que one of twenty twenty one most importantly we achieved this was thing discipline in terms of our customer acquisition efficiency metrics or new customer account for the quarter with approximately seventy two

including prescription food tell that services supplements and soon pet insurance the four point some are popular or medication care nutrition and wellness we view these point as been key to building a differentiated brand and experience to pet parents everywhere we recognize the ships that are occurring in the regulatory landscape which led us to our first big investment pet telemedicine our

favorable for us or we also see a real trend towards the digitization a pet health care just like we have in human health pet parents are thinking through the entire spectrum of the pet care from diet

spk_0: and you ladies and gentlemen at this time will be conducting a question and answer session if you like to ask a question you may per store one on your telephone keep it a confirmation tall indicate your line is in a question do you may press start to if you like to remove your question from the que for participant shooting speaker permit it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing starkey our first question come from the line of aaron right with morgan stanley
spk_6: he would your question
spk_7: he craved thanks for taking my questions and birth how should we be thinking about and in congrats on the new customer got that has we be thinking about new customers in the coming quarter do think that we've had an inflection point here are are there any other factors that we should be thinking about in terms of that quarterly progression thanks
spk_2: thanks for the questionnaire and i'll take i'll take that one yeah we're we're pretty excited that we saw that new customer growth at the first time in in a to a half years what couple things are going on behind that number one is and one of the interesting things about pet meds versus an early stage businesses that we've got a huge database of customers that up until recently we really didn't have a lot to talk to about ah so we've done a much better job of we're engaging laps customers as you may recall we change the definition of our new customers to any one that's purchase with with us on the last three years and so we're we're doing more specific target it offers to our our laps customer base which we have found it the largely as being very kak efficient customer acquisition efficient so that's have one theme in the future and that you'll see from us the second theme is a little bit of what you heard round the thesis around pick terrorists and the expansion of are not medication catalog he as well while pack overall ah i'm a in our space has generally platinum terms of trends in terms of tack friends we do see an opportunity increase lifetime value as we start selling more products to both the net new customers that we are bringing on but also existing so i think the trend that you'll see from my us are probably laugh in terms of gross margin hit related to reuniting of laps customers but more focus on getting those customers a purchase more from us and so i go for basis we're leaning more optimistic about our ability to to grow our customer base i hope that answer your question
spk_7: ray yeah no think our son gray color and and then also looking at just the underlying i'm trying to your customer base ah whether it's dynamic around the upcoming three antics he then what your seen internet consumer behavior around trade down dynamics what are you seen in they started macro environment just from an underlying in the in perspectives
spk_0: yeah a great questionnaire and and that such an important questions for us as you know we are a seasonally driven business highly weighted towards the flame taxis and i think who i think it's not our as not
spk_2: and i think this season is is gonna be a very different than last season i did last season was very abnormal on many different actors it was very unseasonably cold we are looking very carefully at what we're seeing in the bed channel and also macri you economically with our supplier partners we are cautiously optimistic that the clean tech season will be much better than it was last year i think it would be very difficult to say be worse bomb but it's too early to tell but i don't think you're going to see as cold temperatures as we did last year but worse thing very attuned to all the macro data in terms of trade downs we're not saying trade down behavior in our business as you know we are very medication focus and very prescription focus in terms of the waiting in our business and those customers effectively diet and health focus customers generally will stick with the brands that they love whether their favorite flame check brand worth it as bran whatever it is we don't see consumers one in the trade down which is good news for us and i would say that trend will will likely continue in were relatively recessionary resilient and we haven't seen a latrine down behavior so in terms of the macro we're going to stay very focus obviously we get an a march that's when bills historically of increase for clean tech and damn good the that watching very carefully run seasonality run temperatures ah that as your questionnaire and
spk_8: yeah thank you to match cricket it thank you
spk_0: or next question for comes on one of puri greedy were jeffries please received your question
spk_9: hi tastic my question i want to follow up on that just talk about of factors that impact customer growth so if in that industry visits down over the past year and this is kind of a seasonally reporter for free in tech so your customers by activating that customers maybe you can talk about what you're saying in the market in terms of like customer and can somehow thinking about you know transit might impact customer growth of the next year that
spk_2: not agree question in terms of the read night of the existing labs customers really that the new conversations that's why we change the definition we we have our huge opportunity and what we've done is a lot of an interesting that new data around what those customers want from a brand like what pet and so it's almost the way we think about it as having a completely new car verse asian some of those customers actually have a strong affinity obviously to the brand but with they haven't really been introduced to us in a while and so we're treating them like they're new customers because they are new customers and those customers that are new seem to want a one stop shop one place to get more of their products vs just one item that could be this is speculation related to in flight inflationary concerns it could be pre recessionary concerns on by going to one place to get all of your needs is is it is a developing theme and i've we've seen this another ecommerce retailers and terms of the net new components to the strategy for about the existing customers as well as new it's hard to predict the customer acquisition trend to dynamic marketplace of we've certainly seen those trends flat in terms of increase in overall customer acquisition our customer acquisition costs an absolute days basis have been relatively flat but we see a lot of interesting demand which was the thesis or pet carer x to add more premium products like prescription food and premium food to the mix and so longer term we see an opportunity to potentially lane and customer acquisition costs and expand our customers more rapidly but again we are not in a position to comment on that yet we have a close pick her our acts and will and focus very much on digesting the acquisition working with that team and executing core did i answer your question
spk_9: yeah you did that's really helpful from i follow up i wanted to just gets more color on gross margin see he talks are going for focusing less on promos and moral cross selling but you know how should we think about gross margin for for for and into next year that
spk_5: score it's christine would you my answering that question yeah sorry for the question am so as i mentioned on the call you know that are gross margin and in the cause it will meet really impacted by the targeted you know acquisition odds at don't let customers and
spk_4: we really did lean into that and with somebody that a one time promotions and he did that was it intentional move on our part to acquire those customers because of the opportunity to be see with across selling products and and expanding the the sort of portion of that customers basket going forward and everyone should do but there was this that and also i would say that they wish since we we have to pull up rebates that hit our and cost of goods sold and those can vary from county to court and i both of those things negatively impacted gross margin at this courtroom we really don't expect us to repeat an end to that extent go forward and so we do expect to see our gross margin me more in line with kind of the historic trends and that the scene in the past
spk_9: it thank you
spk_2: thanks corey
spk_0: or next question comes on line of anthony the evidence ski with the dodian company please proceed with your question
spk_1: a good afternoon and thank you for taking the questions so us or the nice to see you order sales guy from and a quarter here as know what your your repeat sales or reorder sales were down about four percent
spk_10: so kind of going forward i mean i'm a you did you expect a bbc you get him and your repeat sales drive around ninety percent of your total revenue of soak are you thinking about the on maintaining that repeat moon moon base of customers would do you expect the perhaps be no more promotion the those cars
spk_1: winners or i are you just just barely you thinking about that you might making sure that you're at least able to be on maintain those repeat customers
spk_2: yeah he christine at that they anthony yankee for that question christie wanting to answer the overall returning revenue transfer then i'll follow up with media strategy answer
spk_4: yeah that is great and hey and think a question and issues we look at the retaining has you're right we did see that four percent decline a year over year if you look at that contextually within the last six as that's the lowest decline in seen year of a year and let them be seen like a say over the last export is to we really do see some of the the trend starting starting to change their and and and that she's starting to am sees at length of the decline in that customer base and and then of course as we thinking about the new customer acquisition and and buildings that of the top of the funnel and then having a repeat and having to repeatability with our ownership program is well as that expanded catalog and we really see that opportunity to drive the greatest sticky this am i'll hang back to matt cause i know hill and have said some additional comments see them
spk_2: those christine now you answered you actually added a couple elements that i was gonna add anthony i would say that on we don't have a lot of shots on goal with our customers today meaning primarily our customer engagement he is over a year around prescription refilled and so that there is ample opportunity for cost rumors to not engage with this and not how are we engage with and and and likely either go to another retailer or or ashley forget that they're on some type of program with us and so we're looking to get more engagement with those customers arthur auto ship but also through selling more products within selling more products and ownership is kind of a one two punch to answer that question on because there is more competition in the market but also our customers want more products from us and so we think the advantage of those two things will really help bolster and stabilize the returning base over time and then as i as i mentioned more speculative investment that we've made on pet telemedicine i think you're gonna be really interesting to see how over the long term the rain the toy environment changes but also how customers view pet messes not just a place to get your meds but it's also a place to get all your other services that you'd expect to get and our customers are very much aligned with how they think about their that and so which is why we really focus on pet tell a medicine and connecting with that through our about live service silver time we think differentiation to services is gonna be another ability for us to lower churn and provide a more meaningful experience for our customers
spk_1: got it thanks for that and then your advertising spending was up seven percent the just wonder are you seeing any changes in and ad rates sale given kind of where the economy is right now i just want to get your thoughts on that
spk_2: the i'll take that that when christine and a good question yeah when i say relatively flat flat obviously there was a little bit of an increase no largely the fluctuating that we've seen our how we get insulted from our supplier partners which add some variants so we feel like overall from what we see inside our marketing spam that we've been relatively flat there can be some variants is based on the amount of discounts the flow through the piano from our supplier partners but overall when we look at the industry whether it's on c b c's or cpm we're not seeing a lot of fluctuation and price right now that that can change in and has changed significantly quarter of a quarter base usually on the macro environment but it has somewhat stabilize in terms of our customer acquisition costs and we're not we're not super concerned about that
spk_10: got it okay well thank you and best of luck
spk_2: and sneath anthony from your questions
spk_0: are no further questions in a queue and like and a call back to management for closing remarks
spk_2: thank you for joining our call today i'm confident that the future we vision for pet mad along with the foundation of within like will meet the market opportunity and unique and innovative ways and will lead to improved operating results and increase shareholder value at meds brown expertise and reputation or parallel we have greatly accelerated or operate road map and we look forward to sharing our progress in positively changing the lives of our pet parents and pets thank you for your continued support
