In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2019, the Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and Cash Flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of PetMed Express, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of Condensed 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

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.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on leases which supersedes the current lease guidance. The core principle requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from nearly all leases in the statement of financial position. Accounting applied by lessors will remain largely consistent with previous guidance. Additional changes are set to align lessor accounting with the revised lessee model and the FASB’s revenue recognition guidance. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard on April 1, 2019, using this effective date as the date of initial application.

Consequently, on adoption, the Company recognized an additional current operating liability, with a corresponding right of use asset of approximately the same amount based on the present value of the remaining rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases. As of December 31, 2019, the current operating liability and corresponding right of use asset was approximately $165,000. The lease liability and right of use asset is reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as part of accrued expenses and other current liabilities and as part of prepaid expenses and other current assets. The amended guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses on certain financial instruments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-13 on April 1, 2020.

 

In Dec 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplification and reduce the cost of accounting for income taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12. The Company will adopt ASU 2019-12 on April 1, 2021.

 

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.

 

 

Note 2: Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates revenue by selling pet medication products and pet supplies. Certain pet supplies offered on the Company’s website are drop shipped to customers. The Company considers itself the principal in the arrangement because the Company controls the specified good before it is transferred to the customer. Revenue contracts contain one performance obligation, which is delivery of the product; customer care and support is deemed not to be a material right in the contract. The transaction price is adjusted at the date of sale for any applicable sales discounts and an estimate of product returns, which are estimated based on historical patterns, however this is not considered a key judgment. There are no amounts excluded from variable consideration. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the customer at the point in time in which shipment of the product occurs. This key judgment is determined as the shipping point represents the point in time in which the Company has a present right to payment, title has transferred to the customer, and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership. Outbound shipping and handling fees are an accounting policy election, and are included in sales as the Company considers itself the principal in the arrangement given responsibility for supplier selection and discretion over pricing. Shipping costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are an accounting policy election and are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales.

 

The Company disaggregates revenue in the following two categories: (1) Reorder revenue vs. new order revenue, and (2) Internet revenue vs. contact center revenue. The following table illustrates revenue by various classifications:

The majority of the Company’s sales are paid by credit cards and the Company usually receives the cash settlement in two to three banking days. Credit card sales minimize the accounts receivable balances relative to sales. The Company had no material contract asset or contract liability balances as of December 31, 2019 or March 31, 2019.

 

 

Note 3: Net Income Per Share

 

In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 260 (“Earnings Per Share”) basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share includes the dilutive effect of potential restricted stock and the effects of the potential conversion of preferred shares, calculated using the treasury stock method. Unvested restricted stock and convertible preferred shares issued by the Company represent the only dilutive effect reflected in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per share computations for the periods presented (in thousands, except for per share amounts):

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, 72,120 shares of common restricted stock were excluded from the computations of diluted net income per common share, as their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net income per common share. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, 127,318 shares of common restricted stock were excluded from the computations of diluted net income per common share, as their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net income per common share.

Note 4: Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company records compensation expense associated with restricted stock in accordance with ASC Topic 718 (“Share Based Payment”) (ASU 2016-09). The compensation expense related to all of the Company’s stock-based compensation arrangements is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses. The Company had 972,175 restricted common shares issued under the 2006 Employee Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan (“2006 Employee Plan”), 153,608 restricted common shares issued under the 2016 Employee Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan (“2016 Employee Plan” and collectively referred to with the 2006 Employee Plan as the “Employee Plans”), 272,000 restricted common shares issued under the 2006 Outside Director Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan (“2006 Director Plan”), and 135,000 restricted common shares issued under the 2015 Outside Director Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan (“2015 Director Plan”, and collectively referred to with the 2006 Director Plan as the “Director Plans”) at December 31, 2019, all shares of which were issued subject to a restriction or forfeiture period that lapses ratably on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of grant, and the fair value of which is being amortized over the three-year restriction period.

 

For the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $716,000 and $812,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the Employee and Director Plans. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $2.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to the Employee and Director Plans. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was $3.4 million and $4.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested restricted stock awards, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over the next three years. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were approximately 183,000 and 191,000 non-vested restricted shares, respectively.

 

 

Note 5: Fair Value

 

The Company carries various assets and liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. ASC Topic 820 (“Fair Value Measurements”) establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

 

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. At December 31, 2019, the Company had invested all of its $92.4 million cash and cash equivalents balance in money market funds which are classified within level 1.

 

 

Note 6: Commitments and Contingencies

 

In January 2019, a putative class action complaint was filed by a different individual in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that the Company’s website, www.1800petmeds.com, does not comply with the ADA, NYSHRL, and NYCHRL, and discriminates against visually impaired individuals. The Plaintiff initially named a New York corporation named Pet Meds Inc., which is not related or affiliated with the Company, as the defendant. However, the Plaintiff sought to remedy that error by requesting leave to file an amended complaint naming the Company, which request the Court granted on April 9, 2019. On April 18, 2019, the Court granted the Plaintiff’s request to transfer the case to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, where it is currently pending. The matter is styled Brian Fischler, individually and on behalf of all other persons similarly situated v. PetMed Express, Inc.; Case No. 19-cv-02391. The Company denies any wrongdoing. As of July 24, 2019, the Company and the Plaintiff have reached a confidential settlement in which the Plaintiff and the Company will enter into a consent decree requiring among other things, the Company to modify its website to comply with certain accessibility standards within the next 24 months, and the matter will be dismissed with prejudice. As part of the confidential settlement agreement, the Company will pay the Plaintiff a sum of $10,000. The parties are awaiting the district court’s execution of the joint proposed consent decree.

The Company has settled complaints that had been filed with various states’ regulatory boards in the past. There can be no assurances made that other states will not attempt to take similar actions against the Company in the future. The Company initiates litigation to protect its trade or service marks. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in protecting its trade or service marks. Legal costs related to the above matters are expensed as incurred.

There were no shares of common stock that were purchased or retired in the nine months ended December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $28.7 million remaining under the Company’s share repurchase plan.

Note 8: Income Taxes

 

For the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $1.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $5.9 million and $9.4 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was approximately 21.0% compared to 23.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, and the effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 was approximately 23.9%, compared to 23.2% for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease to the income tax provision and effective rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was due to a reduction in the Florida state corporate income tax rate, and a one-time income tax benefit of $96,000 related to the reconciliation of the Company’s tax return for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019. The increase to the effective rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 can be attributed to a $322,000 income tax charge related to restricted stock compensation which was recognized in September 2019.

 

 

Note 9: Subsequent Events

 

On January 21, 2020 our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share. The Board established a February 3, 2020 record date and a February 14, 2020 payment date. Based on the outstanding share balance as of January 28, 2020 the Company estimates the dividend payable to be approximately $5.4 million.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

Executive Summary

 

PetMed Express was incorporated in the state of Florida in January 1996. The Company’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “PETS.” The Company began selling pet medications and other pet health products in September 1996. In March 2010, the Company started offering for sale additional pet supplies on its website, and these items are drop shipped to customers by third party vendors. Presently, the Company’s product line includes approximately 2,500 of the most popular pet medications, health products, and supplies for dogs, cats, and horses.

 

The Company markets its products through national advertising campaigns which aim to increase the recognition of the “1-800-PetMeds” brand name, and “PetMeds” family of trademarks, increase traffic on its website at www.1800petmeds.com, acquire new customers, and maximize repeat purchases. Approximately 84% of all sales were generated via the Internet for both the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company’s sales consist of products sold mainly to retail consumers. The three-month average purchase was approximately $85 and $84 per order for the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the average purchase was approximately $86 and $87 per order, respectively.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and the results of our operations contained herein are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the data used to prepare them. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. On an ongoing basis we re-evaluate our judgments and estimates including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, and income taxes. We base our estimates and judgments on our historical experience, knowledge of current conditions, and our beliefs of what could occur in the future considering available information. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our estimates are guided by observing the following critical accounting policies.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company generates revenue by selling pet medication products and pet supplies mainly to retail customers. Certain pet supplies offered on the Company’s website are drop shipped to customers. The Company considers itself the principal in the arrangement because the Company controls the specified good before it is transferred to the customer. Revenue contracts contain one performance obligation, which is delivery of the product; customer care and support is deemed not to be a material right to the contract. The transaction price is adjusted at the date of sale for any applicable sales discounts and an estimate of product returns, which are estimated based on historical patterns; however this is not considered a key judgment. There are no amounts excluded from variable consideration. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the customer at the point in time in which shipment of the product occurs. This key judgment is determined as the shipping point represents the point in time in which the Company has a present right to payment, title has transferred to the customer, and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership.

 

Outbound shipping and handling fees are an accounting policy election, and are included in sales as the Company considers itself the principal in the arrangement given responsibility for supplier selection and discretion over pricing. Shipping costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are an accounting policy election and are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales. The majority of the Company’s sales are paid by credit cards and the Company usually receives the cash settlement in two to three banking days. Credit card sales minimize accounts receivable balances relative to sales.

 

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for losses that the Company estimates will arise from customers’ inability to make required payments, arising from either credit card charge-backs or insufficient funds checks. The Company determines its estimates of the uncollectibility of accounts receivable by analyzing historical bad debts and current economic trends. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $31,000 at December 31, 2019 compared to $39,000 at March 31, 2019.

Valuation of inventory

 

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 $61,000 at December 31, 2019 compared to $54,000 at March 31, 2019.

 

Advertising

 

The Company's advertising expense consists primarily of Internet marketing, direct mail/print, and television advertising. 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. Television advertising costs are expensed as the advertisements are televised.

 

Accounting for income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740 (“Accounting for Income Taxes”), which generally requires 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.

Sales

 

Sales were relatively flat at $59.9 million and $60.1 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, sales decreased by approximately $9.0 million, or 4.1%, to approximately $209.8 million compared to $218.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 was primarily due to decreased new orders and reorder sales. The Company acquired approximately 76,000 new customers for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to approximately 81,000 new customers for the same period the prior year. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019 the Company acquired approximately 313,000 new customers, compared to 366,000 new customers for the nine months ended December 31, 2018.

Going forward sales may be adversely affected due to increased competition and consumers giving more consideration to price. No guarantees can be made that sales will grow in the future. The majority of our product sales are affected by the seasons, due to the seasonality of mainly heartworm, and flea and tick medications. For the quarters ended June 30, September 30, December 31, and March 31 of Fiscal 2019, the Company’s sales were approximately 31%, 25%, 21%, and 23%, respectively.

 

Cost of sales

 

Cost of sales increased by approximately $1.5 million, or 3.8%, to approximately $42.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, from approximately $40.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, cost of sales increased by approximately $6.0 million, or 4.2%, to approximately $150.3 million compared to $144.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Cost of sales as a percent of sales was 70.5% and 67.7% for the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 the cost of sales was 71.6% and 65.9%, respectively. The cost of sales increases and percentage increases can be attributed to price reductions given to customers to stimulate sales in response to increased online competition, and an increase to product costs during the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2019. One of our long-term strategic initiatives and primary purchasing goals has always been to have direct purchasing relationships with the major manufacturers. We now have direct relationships with all major manufacturers.

Gross profit

 

Gross profit decreased by approximately $1.7 million, or 8.7%, to approximately $17.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, from approximately $19.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019 gross profit decreased by approximately $15.0 million, or 20%, to approximately $59.6 million, compared to $74.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2019 is directly related to a decrease in sales and price reductions. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 29.5% and 32.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, gross profit was 28.4% and 34.1%, respectively. The gross profit percentage decreases for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2019 can be mainly attributed to price reductions given to customers to stimulate sales in response to increased online competition, and an increase to product costs during the quarter and nine months. We now have direct relationships with all major manufacturers and these manufacturers have minimum advertised price policies which should cause a general price discipline in the online market. Over the past three sequential quarters gross margin percentages have increased from 27.3% in June 2019, to 28.6% in September 2019, and to 29.5% in December 2019.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $247,000, or 4.3%, to approximately $6.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to $5.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the quarter primarily related to an increase in payroll expenses in the customer care, pharmacy, and information technology departments. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was 10.1% and 9.6% for the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. General and administrative expenses were relatively flat at approximately $18.9 million for both the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.  General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was 9.0% and 8.7% for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The percentage increase for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 was primarily related to decreased sales in the nine month period.

 

Advertising expenses

 

Advertising expenses decreased by approximately $456,000, or 12.6%, to approximately $3.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, from approximately $3.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, advertising expenses increased by approximately $917,000, or 5.9%, to approximately $16.5 million compared to advertising expenses of approximately $15.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The advertising expenditures for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 were intended to stimulate sales and acquire new customers. The advertising costs of acquiring a new customer, defined as total advertising costs divided by new customers acquired, decreased to $42 for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to $45 for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 the advertising costs of acquiring a new customer were $53 and $43, respectively. The decrease to customer acquisition costs for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 can be attributed to reduced advertising expenses compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The increase to customer acquisition costs for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 can be attributed to increased advertising costs, primarily television advertising, and a lower-than-expected consumer response in the June 2019 and September 2019 quarters, which may be attributed to increased online competition. Advertising cost of acquiring a new customer can be impacted by the advertising environment, the effectiveness of our advertising creative, advertising spending, and price competition. Historically, the advertising environment fluctuates due to supply and demand. A more favorable advertising environment may positively impact future sales, whereas a less favorable advertising environment may negatively impact future sales.

 

As a percentage of sales, advertising expense was 5.3% and 6.0% for the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 advertising expense was 7.9% and 7.1%, respectively. The decrease in advertising expense as a percentage of total sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 can be attributed to decreased advertising expense in the quarter. The increase in advertising expense as a percentage of total sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 can be attributed to increased television advertising expense in the June 2019 quarter. The Company currently anticipates advertising as a percentage of sales to be approximately 8.0% for fiscal 2020. However, the advertising percentage will fluctuate quarter to quarter due to seasonality and advertising availability.

Depreciation

 

Depreciation expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 increased slightly by approximately $6,000 to $562,000 compared to $556,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. For both of the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 depreciation expense were approximately $1.7 million. The increases to depreciation expense for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2019 can be attributed to new property and equipment additions.

 

Other income

 

Other income decreased slightly by approximately $41,000, to approximately $722,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 from approximately $763,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019 other income increased by approximately $167,000, to approximately $2.3 million compared to approximately $2.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease to other income for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was primarily related to decreased interest income due to decreased interest rates compared to the prior year. The increase to other income for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 was primarily related to increased interest income due to higher interest rates in the June and September quarters. Interest income may decrease in the future as the Company utilizes its cash balances on its share repurchase plan, with approximately $28.7 million remaining as of December 31, 2019, on any quarterly dividend payment, on its operating activities, or with further decreases in interest rates.

 

Provision for income taxes

 

For the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $1.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $5.9 million and $9.4 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was approximately 21.0% compared to 23.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, and the effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 was approximately 23.9%, compared to 23.2% for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease to the income tax provision and effective rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was due to a reduction in the Florida state corporate income tax rate, and a one-time income tax benefit of $96,000 related to the reconciliation of the Company’s tax return for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019. The increase to the effective rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 can be attributed to a $322,000 income tax charge related to restricted stock compensation which was recognized in September 2019.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s working capital at December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019 was $102.0 million and $107.8 million, respectively. The $5.8 million decrease in working capital was primarily attributable to the share buyback and dividends paid in the period, offset by cash flow generated from operations. Net cash provided by operating activities was $21.6 million and $32.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This change can be mainly attributed to a decrease in the Company’s net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. Net cash used in investing activities increased to $1.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $507,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The increase in investing activities relates to increased asset additions during the period. Net cash used in financing activities was $27.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, compared to $16.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase to financing activities relates to the Company purchasing approximately 613,000 shares of its common stock for approximately $11.5 million during the June quarter and the remaining increase to financing activities related to an increase in the dividend paid in the nine months ended December 31, 2019.

 

At December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $28.7 million remaining under the Company’s share repurchase plan. Subsequent to December 31, 2019, on January 21, 2020 our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share. The Board established a February 3, 2020 record date and a February 14, 2020 payment date. Depending on future market conditions the Company may utilize its cash and cash equivalents on the remaining balance of its current share repurchase plan, on dividends, or on its operating activities.

At December 31, 2019, the Company had no material outstanding lease commitments. See Note 1, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements within this Form 10-Q for the Company’s disclosure related to leases. We are not currently bound by any long or short term agreements for the purchase or lease of capital expenditures. Any material amounts expended for capital expenditures would be the result of an increase in the capacity needed to adequately provide for any increase in our business. To date we have paid for any needed additions to our capital equipment infrastructure from working capital funds and anticipate this being the case in the future. Presently, we have approximately $3.3 million forecasted for capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 2020, the majority of which will be invested in our e-commerce platform to better service our customers, which will be funded through cash from operations. The Company’s primary source of working capital is cash from operations. The Company presently has no need for alternative sources of working capital, and has no commitments or plans to obtain additional capital.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements at December 31, 2019.

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

You can identify these forward-looking statements by the words "believes," "intends," "expects," "may," "will," "should," "plans," "projects," "contemplates," "intends," "budgets," "predicts," "estimates," "anticipates," or similar expressions.

Because these statements reflect our current views concerning future events, these statements involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Actual future results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. A reader, whether investing in our common stock or not, should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this quarterly report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the value of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The book values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Interest rates affect our return on excess cash and cash investments. At December 31, 2019, we had $92.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, and a majority of our cash and cash equivalents generate interest income based on prevailing interest rates. A significant change in interest rates would impact the amount of interest income generated from our excess cash and cash equivalents. It would also impact the market value of our cash and cash equivalents. Our cash equivalents are subject to market risk, primarily interest rate and credit risk. Our cash equivalents are managed by a limited number of outside professional managers within investment guidelines set by our Board of Directors. Such guidelines include security type, credit quality, and maturity, and are intended to limit market risk by restricting our cash and cash equivalents to high-quality debt instruments with both short and long term maturities. We do not hold any derivative financial instruments that could expose us to significant market risk. At December 31, 2019, we had no debt obligations.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

The Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective such that the information relating to our Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act: (1) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
