Grounding quotes
  • “2025 was a record year for the company.”
  • “This marks a new company record for both subscription AOI and subscription AOM.”
  • “we have increased our lifetime value of a pet 35% year over year. So we are able to lean into pet acquisition far more aggressively”
  • “What could go against us, obviously, would be inflation. So it is something that we pay close attention to.”

Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Subscription revenue grew 15% YoY to $261.4M in Q4 and 16% to $989.3M for FY2025, with nearly $1B in annual subscription revenue.
  • Subscription adjusted operating margin hit a record 16.5% in Q4 (up ~120 bps YoY); full-year 2025 achieved the ~15% annual margin target.
  • Q4 net income of $5.6M ($0.13/share) vs $1.7M ($0.04) prior year; FY2025 net income of $19.4M vs a $(9.6)M loss in 2024.
  • Free cash flow grew to $25.3M in Q4 and $75.4M for FY2025, with $370.7M in cash and short-term investments at year-end.
  • Trailing twelve-month retention improved every quarter of 2025 (98.34% in Q4 vs 98.25% prior year) and Q4 gross pet ads accelerated +8% YoY.
  • Q4 subscription net pet growth of 50% and FY2025 net pet growth of 10%, with subscription pets up 5% YoY to 1,096,173.

Risks & pressure points

  • Total enrolled pets fell 2% YoY to 1,647,565 due to declines in the other business segment, which management said will 'ultimately go away.'
  • Subscription IRR fell to 23% in Q4 (vs 28% in Q3) and has now been below the 30% guardrail for two consecutive quarters, with the metric down sequentially for seven straight quarters.
  • Value proposition (cost of paying veterinary invoices) improved to 69.1% from 70% but still represents margin pressure relative to prior year; ~$900K of adverse development from prior periods impacted revenue ~30 bps in Q4.
  • Inflation is a flagged risk; management continues to assume ~15% annual veterinary inflation, though they noted slight softening off a high level.
  • Q4 fixed expenses as a percentage of revenue rose to 5.6% from 5.5% in the prior-year period.

Key moments

“Our performance translated into $152,000,000 of operating income, which funded $83,000,000 of pet acquisition and investments and development spend during the course of the year to support long-term growth. The increase of 33% year on year in adjusted operating income reflects meaningful progress in aligning pricing with the value we deliver.” Margaret Tooth, CEO
“For the full year of 2026, we expect total revenue in the range of $1,550,000,000 to $1,582,000,000. We expect subscription revenue to be between $1,117,000,000 and $1,137,000,000, representing approximately 14% year-over-year growth at the midpoint. We expect total adjusted operating income to be in the range of $173,000,000 to $187,000,000, or 19% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.” Fawwad Qureshi, CFO
