Principal Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies
Principal Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1 - Principal Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies Principal Business Activity and Principles of Consolidation PetIQ, Inc. (the “Company”, or “PetIQ”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on February 29, 2016. The Company was formed for the purpose of completing a public offering and related transactions in order to carry on the business of PetIQ, LLC, an Idaho limited liability company. The Company is the sole managing member of PetIQ Holdings, LLC (“Holdco”), a Delaware limited liability company, which is the sole member of PetIQ, LLC (“Opco”) and, through Holdco, will operate and control all of the business and affairs of Opco and continue to conduct the business now conducted by Opco and its subsidiaries. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company’s principal asset is the Holdco LLC Interests that it holds. As the sole managing member of Holdco, the Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Holdco and, through Holdco and its subsidiaries, conducts the Company’s business. In addition, the Company controls the management of, and has a controlling interest in, Holdco and, therefore, is the primary beneficiary of Holdco. As a result, the Company consolidates the financial results of Holdco pursuant to the variable-interest entity (“VIE”) accounting model, and a portion of the Company’s net income (loss) will be allocated to the non-controlling interest to reflect the entitlement of Continuing LLC Owners (as defined in Note 7) to a portion of Holdco’s net income (loss). Holdco’s assets may be used only to settle Holdco’s obligations and Holdco’s beneficial interest holders have no recourse to the general credit to the Company. Through Holdco and its subsidiaries, the Company is a manufacturer and wholesale distributor of over-the-counter and prescription pet medications and pet wellness products to various retail customers and distributors throughout the United States and Europe. The Company is headquartered in Eagle, Idaho and manufactures and distributes products from facilities in Florida, Texas, Utah, and Europe. As discussed in Note 7, as a result of the recapitalization transactions, PetIQ, Inc. consolidates Holdco and Opco; Opco is considered to be the predecessor to PetIQ, Inc. for accounting and reporting purposes. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 and related notes thereto included in the final prospectus for PetIQ, Inc. dated July 20, 2017 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 21, 2017. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment; allowance for doubtful accounts; the valuation of property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, inventories, and notes receivable; and reserves for legal contingencies. Foreign Currencies The Company operates subsidiaries in foreign countries who use the local currency as the functional currency. The Company translates its foreign subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date and income and expense items at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from exchange rate fluctuations are recorded in the cumulative translation account, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company records gains and losses from changes in exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than each reporting location's functional currency in net income for each period. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition, excluding amounts restricted for various state licensing regulations. Restricted deposits are not considered cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash accounts in various deposit accounts, the balances of which at times exceeded federal deposit insurance limits during the periods presented. Receivables and Credit Policy Trade receivables due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms generally requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer, net of discounts and estimated deductions. The Company does not have a policy for charging interest on overdue customer account balances. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer's remittance advice. The Company also has notes receivable due from various suppliers included in accounts receivable. The notes typically bear interest at 4% and are repaid based on amortization schedules. Non-current portions of these notes receivable are included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Accounts receivable consists of the following as of: September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Trade receivables $ 25,981 $ 18,086 Notes receivable 324 440 26,305 18,526 Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts (911) (498) Non-current portion of receivables (553) (833) Total accounts receivable, net $ 24,841 $ 17,195 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is typically determined using the first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method The Company maintains reserves for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventory based on the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated net realizable value. In estimating the reserves, management considers factors such as excess or slow-moving inventories, product expiration dating, and market conditions. Changes in these conditions may result in additional reserves. Major components of inventories consist of the following as of: September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Raw materials and work in progress $ 5,227 $ 5,924 Finished goods 29,427 28,308 Total inventories $ 34,654 $ 34,232 Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets, except for leasehold improvements and capital leased assets which are depreciated over the shorter of the expected useful life or the lease term. Depreciation and amortization expense is recorded in cost of sales and general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, depending on the use of the asset. The estimated useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are as follows: Computer equipment and software 3 years Buildings 33 years Equipment 3-15 years Leasehold improvements 3-9 years Furniture and fixtures 8-10 years Depreciation expense was $ 684 and $375 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016, respectively, and $1,795 and $ 1,350 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Restricted Deposits Restricted deposits are amounts required to be held by the Company in segregated accounts for various state licensing regulations in relation to the sale of regulated prescription pet medications. Restricted deposits as of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016 were $200 and $250, respectively. Interest earned on restricted deposits is included in other income when earned. Deferred Acquisition Liability The Company has a deferred acquisition liability related to an acquisition that occurred in 2013. The liability is denominated in Euros and requires annual payments based on a percentage of gross profit from the sales of certain products, and any amounts not repaid by the annual payments will be due in June 2018. The current balance recorded as of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016 was $1,745 and $250, respectively, and is included in other accrued expenses. The non-current portion recorded as of December 31, 2016 was $1,303, and is included in deferred acquisition liability. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product has been delivered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company generally records revenues from product sales when the goods are shipped to the customer. For customers with Free on Board ("FOB") destination terms, a provision is recorded to exclude shipments determined to be in-transit to these customers at the end of the reporting period. A sales return allowance is recorded and accounts receivable are reduced as revenues are recognized for estimated losses on credit sales due to customer claims for discounts, returned goods and other items. The Company offers a variety of trade promotions and incentives to our customers, such as cooperative advertising programs and store placement. Sales are recorded net of trade promotion spending, which is recognized at the later of the date on which the Company recognizes the related revenue or the date on which the Company offers the incentive. The Company’s net sales are periodically influenced by the timing, extent and amount of such trade promotions and incentives. Accruals for expected payouts under these programs are included in other accrued expenses. Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs are recorded as cost of sales, and are not billed to customers. Research and Development and Advertising Costs Research and development and advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses. Research and development costs amounted to $11 4 and $82 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and $ 427 and $ 248 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Advertising costs were $436 and $273 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and $2,028 and $ 883 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Income taxes The Company records a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. The Company may record a valuation allowance, if conditions are applicable, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. Non-controlling interest The non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated statements of income represents the portion of earnings or loss attributable to the economic interest in the Company’s subsidiary, PetIQ Holdings, LLC, held by the non-controlling Continuing LLC Owners. Non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheet represents the portion of net assets of the Company attributable to the non-controlling Continuing LLC Owners, based on the portion of the LLC Interests owned by such LLC interest holders. There was no significant non-controlling interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as well as the period prior to the IPO on July 20, 2017 because the Company operated as Opco during those periods. As of September 30, 2017 the non-controlling interest was approximately 38.5%. Litigation The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims, litigation, investigations and contingencies arising out of the ordinary course of business. If the likelihood of an adverse legal outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of loss is estimable, then a liability is accrued in accordance with accounting guidance for contingencies. The company consults with both internal and external legal counsel related to litigation. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases. This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This standard requires adoption based upon a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with optional practical expedients. Based on a preliminary assessment, the Company expects that most of its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new guidance and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption, resulting in an increase in the assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. The Company is continuing its assessment, which may identify additional impacts this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , and subsequently issued several related Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) (“Topic 606”), which provide guidance for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of Topic 606 is that revenue will be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects consideration for which entitlement is expected in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 will be effective commencing with our quarter ending March 31, 2018. We currently anticipate adopting Topic 606 using the modified retrospective transition approach that may result in a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Based on the analysis to date, the Company expects the new standard will require accelerated recognition of trade promotions and customer incentives. These transactions are currently recognized at the later of the sale of goods or agreement, however under the new standard the Company will estimate incentives to be offered to customers as part of the sales price. The Company does not expect the change to be material. The Company is continuing its assessment, which may identify additional impacts this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . The amendments in this ASU clarify and provide specific guidance on eight cash flow classification issues that are not currently addressed by current U.S. GAAP. This ASU will be effective commencing with our quarter ending March 31, 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory . This ASU requires entities to measure most inventory "at the lower of cost or net realizable value," thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. The new standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this standard in first quarter of 2017 did not have a material effect on our financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU” No. 2016-09, “ Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718) .” ASU No. 2016-09 simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements, and classification in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2016, and interim periods beginning in the first interim period within the year of adoption. Any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company adopted the provisions of this standard effective January 1, 2017. The Company elected to continue to recognize estimated forfeitures over the term of the awards. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures.

Debt
Debt	Note 2 - Debt The Company entered into a new credit agreement (“New Credit Agreement”) on December 21, 2016. This agreement fully repaid and terminated the A&R Credit Agreement described below. The New Credit Agreement provides for secured financing of $50,000 in aggregate at either LIBOR or Base (prime) interest rates plus an applicable margin, consisting of: (i) $45,000 revolving credit facility (“Revolver”) maturing on December 16, 2019; and (ii) $5,000 term loan (“Term Loans”), requiring equal amortizing payments for 24 months. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $5,000 outstanding as Term Loans and $22,473 outstanding under the Revolver. The interest rate on the Term Loans was 4.25% and the interest rate on the Revolver was also 4.25%, both were Base Rate loans. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had fully repaid the Term Loans and had $18,05 9 outstanding under the Revolver. The interest rate on the Revolver was 4.75% as a Base Rate loan.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The Company entered into a mortgage with a local bank to finance $1,920 of the purchase price of a commercial building in Eagle, ID, in July 2017. The mortgage bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.35% and utilizes a 25 year amortization schedule with a 10 year balloon payment of the balance due at that time. On March 16, 2015, the Company entered into a $40,000 credit facility (“Credit Agreement”), comprised of a $33,000 in aggregate principal amount of term loans and $7,000 revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the agreement were subject to certain covenants and restrictions including a fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum EBITDA target, both measured on a quarterly basis beginning in the first quarter of 2016. The Company remained in compliance with these covenants for the duration of the agreement. The Company refinanced its credit facility in March 2016 with an amended and restated credit agreement (“A&R Credit Agreement”). The A&R Credit Agreement provided for secured financing of $48,000 in the aggregate, consisting of: (i) $3,000 in aggregate principal amount of term loans maturing on December 31, 2016; (ii) $20,000 in aggregate principal amount of term loans maturing on March 16, 2018; and (iii) a $25,000 revolving credit facility maturing on March 16, 2018.

Income Taxes
Income Taxes	Note 4 - Income Taxes As a result of the IPO and related reorganization transactions completed in July 2017, the Company holds an economic interest of approximately 62% in Holdco and consolidates the financial position and results of Holdco. The approximate 38% of Holdco not held by the Company is considered noncontrolling interest. Holdco is treated as a partnership for income tax reporting. Holdco’s members, including the Company, are liable for federal, state, and local income taxes based on their share of Holdco’s taxable income. The Company’s effective tax rate is significantly less than the statutory rate of 35%, primarily because no taxes are payable by the Company for the noncontrolling interests’ share of Holdco’s taxable income due to the pass through structure. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is also lower than statutory rates because income for the period prior to the IPO was not taxable to the Company as it did not yet hold an equity interest in Holdco. As a result of the IPO and reorganization transactions, the Company has recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the book value of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and those amounts applicable for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets have been recorded for the basis differences resulting from the purchase of LLC Interests from existing members and newly issued LLC Interests acquired directly from Holdco. Prior to the IPO, the Company’s predecessor for financial reporting purposes was Opco, which is a limited liability company, and the majority of Opco’s businesses and assets are held and operated by limited liability companies , which are not subject to entity-level federal or state income taxation. Opco makes cash distributions to permit the member to pay these taxes as needed by the member’s tax situation. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not make any cash distributions. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 Opco accrued $709 for anticipated tax distributions to Continuing LLC Owners. This liability is included in accounts payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Opco’s income tax provision prior to the IPO generally consisted of income taxes payable by our separate subsidiaries that are taxed as corporations . As of December 31, 2016, the taxable foreign subsidiaries had $482 of deferred tax assets. The deferred tax assets resulted primarily from net operating losses and were fully offset by a valuation allowance.

Earnings per share
Earnings per share	Note 5 – Earnings per Share Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to PetIQ, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income available to PetIQ, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. As described in Note 7 — Stockholders’ Equity, on July 20, 2017, the PetIQ Holdings, LLC Agreement (“LLC Agreement”) was amended and restated to, among other things, (i) provide for a new single class of common membership interests, the LLC Interests of Holdco, and (ii) exchange all of the then-existing membership interests of the Continuing LLC Owners for common units of Holdco. This Recapitalization changed the relative membership rights of the Continuing LLC Owners such that retroactive application of the Recapitalization to periods prior to the IPO for the purposes of calculating earnings per share would not be appropriate. Prior to the IPO, the PetIQ, LLC membership structure included several different types of LLC interests including ownership interests and profits interests. The Company analyzed the calculation of earnings per unit for periods prior to the IPO using the two-class method and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of these consolidated financial statements. Therefore, earnings per share information has not been presented for periods prior to the IPO on July 20, 2017. The basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 represents only the period of July 20, 2017 to September 30, 2017. The following table sets forth reconciliations of the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock: Three months ended September 30, 2017 Numerator: Net income $ 859 Less: net income attributable to non-controlling interests (1,085) Net income attributable to PetIQ, Inc. — basic (226) Denominator: Weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding (in 000's)-- basic 13,223 Dilutive stock options that are convertible into Class A common stock — Weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding -- diluted 13,223 Earnings per share of Class A common stock — basic $ (0.02) Earnings per share of Class A common stock — diluted $ (0.02) Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented. Shares of the Company’s Class B common stock as well as stock options have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as they have been determined to be anti-dilutive under the if-converted method and treasury stock method, respectively.

Stock Based Compensation
Stock Based Compensation	Note 6 – Stock Based Compensation Stock based compensation expense is recorded within general and administrative expenses. PetIQ, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan The PetIQ, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of various equity-based incentive awards to directors of the Company, employees, and consultants. The types of equity-based awards that may be granted under the Plan include: stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), and other stock-based awards. The Company initially reserved 1,914,047 registered shares of Class A common stock for issuance under the Plan. As of September 30, 2017, 1,109,998 shares were available for issuance under the Plan. All awards issued under the Plan may only be settled in shares of Class A common stock. Stock Options The Company awards stock options to certain employees and directors under the Plan, which are subject to time-based vesting conditions, typically 25% on each anniversary of the grant date until fully vested. Upon a termination of service relationship by the Company, all unvested options will be forfeited and the shares of common stock underlying such awards will become available for issuance under the Plan. The maximum contractual term for stock options is 10 years The fair value of these equity awards is amortized to equity based compensation expense over the vesting period, which totaled $246 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. All stock based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses based on the role of recipients. The fair value of the stock option awards was determined on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on the following weighted-average assumptions for the period ended September 30: 2017 Expected term (years) (1) Expected volatility (2) % Risk-free interest rate (3) % Dividend yield (4) % (1) The Company utilized the simplified method to determine the expected term of the stock options since we do not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. (2) The expected volatility assumption was calculated based on a peer group analysis of stock price volatility with a look back period consistent with the expected option term. (3) The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant, which corresponds to the expected term of the stock options. (4) The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying a cash dividend on our common stockThe following table summarizes the activity of the Company’s unvested stock options for the period ended September 30, 2017: The following table summarizes the activity of the Company’s unvested stock options for the period ended September 30, 2017: Weighted Average Weighted Remaining Average Aggregate Contractual Stock Exercise Intrinsic Life Options Price Value (years) Outstanding at December 31, 2016 — Granted 804,049 $ 16 Exercised — Forfeited — Cancelled — Outstanding at September 30, 2017 804,049 $ 16 $ 8,909 Options exercisable at September 30, 2017 — The grant date fair value of stock options granted during the period ended September 30, 2017 was $6.08 per option. At September 30, 2017, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $4.4 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.8 years.

Stockholder's Equity	Note 7 - Stockho l ders’ Equity Reorganization Transactions In connection with the IPO on July 20, 2017, the Company completed the following Reorganization Transactions: · The Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation (see “Amendment and Restatement of Certificate of Incorporation” below); · PetIQ Holdings, LLC (“Holdco”) amended and restated its limited liability company agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) (see “Holdco Recapitalization” below); · The Company acquired, by the contribution by certain sponsors, three entities (“Sponsor Corps”) that were owned by former indirect members of Holdco (the “Sponsors”), for which the Company issued 5,615,981 shares of Class A common stock and Preference Notes equal to $30,526 as merger consideration (the “Merger”). The only significant asset held by the Sponsor Corps prior to the Merger was 7,523,839 LLC Interests. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company recognized the 7,523,839 LLC Interests at carrying value, as the contribution was considered to be a transaction between entities under common control; · The Company acquired 419,102 LLC interests in exchange for an equal number of Class A common stock from certain employee owners; · The Company purchased from Continuing LLC Owners 1,589,642 LLC Interests in exchange for $25,434 in preference notes; · The Company purchased from Continuing LLC Owners 133,334 LLC Interests in exchange for $2,133. Following the completion of the Reorganization Transactions and IPO, PetIQ owned 61.5% of HoldCo. The remaining 38.5% of Holdco was held by the “Continuing LLC Owners,” whom the Company defines as all remaining direct and indirect owners of Holdco except for PetIQ. As a result of the Reorganization Transactions, PetIQ became the sole managing member of Holdco and has the sole voting power in, and controls the management of, Holdco. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the financial results of Holdco and reported a non-controlling interest in its consolidated financial statements. As the Reorganization Transactions are considered transactions between entities under common control, the financial statements for the previously separate entities have been combined for presentation purposes. Amendment and Restatement of Certificate of Incorporation On July 20, 2017, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to, among other things, provide for the (i) authorization of 125,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share; (ii) authorization of 8,401,521 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share; (iii) authorization of 12,500,000 shares of blank check preferred stock; and (iv) establishment of a classified board of directors, divided into three classes, each of whose members will serve for staggered three-year terms. Each share of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock entitles its holders to one vote per share on all matters presented to the Company’s stockholders generally. Holders of the Company’s Class B common stock are not entitled to receive dividends and will not be entitled to receive any distributions upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Shares of Class B common stock may only be issued to the extent necessary to maintain the one-to-one ratio between the number of LLC interests of Holdco held by Continuing LLC Owners. Shares of Class B common stock are transferable only together with an equal number of LLC Interests. Shares of Class B common stock will be canceled on a one-for-one basis upon the redemption or exchange any of the outstanding LLC Interests held by the Continuing LLC Owners. The Company must, at all times, maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock and the number of LLC Interests owned by PetIQ (subject to certain exceptions for treasury shares and shares underlying certain convertible or exchangeable securities). Initial Public Offering On July 20, 2017, the Company completed an IPO of 7,187,500 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a public offering price of $16.00 per share, inclusive of the contemporaneous exercise of the underwriters option to purchase additional shares. The Company received $106,950 in proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, which were used repay $55,960 in preference notes, to purchase 3,556,666 newly-issued LLC Interests from Holdco at a price per unit equal to the initial public offering price per share of Class A common stock in the IPO less underwriting discounts and commissions, and to purchase 133,334 LLC Interests and corresponding Class B common shares from entities affiliated with the Company’s CEO and President. Immediately following the completion of the IPO and the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock, there were 13,222,583 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 8,268,188 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. PetIQ Holdings, LLC Recapitalization On July 20, 2017, Holdco amended and restated the LLC Agreement (the “Recapitalization”) to, among other things, (i) provide for a new single class of common membership interests in Holdco, the LLC Interests, (ii) exchange all of the then-existing membership interests for LLC Interests of Holdco and (iii) appoint the Company as the sole managing member of Holdco. The LLC Agreement also provides that the Continuing LLC Owners may from time to time at each of their options require Holdco to exchange all or a portion of their LLC Interests in exchange for, at the Company’s election (determined solely by the Company’s board of directors, which includes directors who hold LLC Interests or are otherwise affiliated with holders of LLC interests), shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to a volume weighted average market price of one share of Class A common stock for each LLC interest exchanged, in each case in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement; provided that, at the Company’s election (determined solely by the Company’s board of directors, which includes directors who hold LLC interests or are otherwise affiliated with holders of LLC interests), the Company may effect a direct exchange of such Class A common stock or such cash, as applicable, for such LLC interests. The Continuing LLC Owners may exercise such redemption right for as long as their LLC interests remain outstanding. Simultaneously with the payment of cash or shares of Class A common stock, as applicable, in connection with a redemption or exchange of LLC interests pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement, a number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock will be cancelled for no consideration on a one-for-one basis with the number of LLC interests so redeemed or exchanged. The amendment also requires that Holdco, at all times, maintain (i) a one-to-one ratio between the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock and the number of LLC interests of Holdco owned by PetIQ, Inc. and (ii) a one-to-one ratio between the number of shares of Class B common stock owned by Continuing LLC Owners and the number of LLC Interests of Holdco owned by the Continuing LLC Owners.

The Company reports a non-controlling interest representing the LLC interests of Holdco held by Continuing LLC Owners. Changes in PetIQ’s ownership interest in Holdco while PetIQ retains its controlling interest in Holdco will be accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of LLC interests of Holdco by the Continuing LLC Owners will result in a change in ownership and reduce or increase the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and increase or decrease additional paid-in capital when Holdco has positive or negative net assets, respectively. The Company is also required to make tax distributions based on the LLC Agreement to Continuing LLC Members on a regular basis, these distributions will reduce the noncontrolling interest. The Company used the net proceeds from its IPO to purchase 3,556,666 newly-issued LLC Interests of Holdco and 133,334 LLC Interests from Continuing LLC Owners. Additionally, in connection with the Reorganization Transactions, the Company acquired 9,532,58 3 LLC Interests of Holdco.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies Litigation Contingencies In May 2017, Bayer Healthcare LLC and its affiliates (collectively “Bayer”) filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, against CAP IM Supply, Inc. (“CAP IM”), our supplier of Advecta 3 and PetLock MAX, which we began to sell in 2017 as our value-branded alternatives to Bayer’s K9 Advantix II. Bayer alleges that Advecta 3 and PetLock MAX infringe a patent relating to K9 Advantix II. Bayer seeks unspecified monetary damages and an injunction against future sales by CAP IM of Advecta 3 and PetLock MAX to the Company. Bayer has filed a motion for preliminary injunction, though no hearing has been set on that motion. Although we have not been named in the suit, our license and supply agreement with CAP IM requires us to share with CAP IM the payment of defense and settlement costs of such litigation and allows us to control the defense of the proceeding. CAP IM intends to vigorously defend this case and we believe that CAP IM has meritorious defenses. However, because of the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we can provide no assurance of an outcome favorable to CAP IM and to us. The case is presently scheduled for trial in February 2019. The Company records a liability when a particular contingency is probable and estimable and provides disclosure for contingencies that are at least reasonably possible of resulting in a loss including an estimate which we currently cannot make. The Company has not accrued for any contingency at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, as the Company does not consider any contingency to be probable or estimable. The Company expenses legal costs as incurred within general and administrative expenses on the consolidated condensed statements of operations.

Principal Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment; allowance for doubtful accounts; the valuation of property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, inventories, and notes receivable; and reserves for legal contingencies.
Foreign Currencies	Foreign Currencies The Company operates subsidiaries in foreign countries who use the local currency as the functional currency. The Company translates its foreign subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date and income and expense items at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from exchange rate fluctuations are recorded in the cumulative translation account, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company records gains and losses from changes in exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than each reporting location's functional currency in net income for each period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition, excluding amounts restricted for various state licensing regulations. Restricted deposits are not considered cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash accounts in various deposit accounts, the balances of which at times exceeded federal deposit insurance limits during the periods presented.
Receivables and Credit Policy	Receivables and Credit Policy Trade receivables due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms generally requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to the customer, net of discounts and estimated deductions. The Company does not have a policy for charging interest on overdue customer account balances. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer's remittance advice. The Company also has notes receivable due from various suppliers included in accounts receivable. The notes typically bear interest at 4% and are repaid based on amortization schedules. Non-current portions of these notes receivable are included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Accounts receivable consists of the following as of: September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Trade receivables $ 25,981 $ 18,086 Notes receivable 324 440 26,305 18,526 Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts (911) (498) Non-current portion of receivables (553) (833) Total accounts receivable, net $ 24,841 $ 17,195
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is typically determined using the first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method The Company maintains reserves for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventory based on the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated net realizable value. In estimating the reserves, management considers factors such as excess or slow-moving inventories, product expiration dating, and market conditions. Changes in these conditions may result in additional reserves. Major components of inventories consist of the following as of: September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Raw materials and work in progress $ 5,227 $ 5,924 Finished goods 29,427 28,308 Total inventories $ 34,654 $ 34,232
Property, Plant, and Equipment	Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets, except for leasehold improvements and capital leased assets which are depreciated over the shorter of the expected useful life or the lease term. Depreciation and amortization expense is recorded in cost of sales and general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, depending on the use of the asset. The estimated useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are as follows: Computer equipment and software 3 years Buildings 33 years Equipment 3-15 years Leasehold improvements 3-9 years Furniture and fixtures 8-10 years Depreciation expense was $ 684 and $375 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016, respectively, and $1,795 and $ 1,350 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Restricted Deposits	Restricted Deposits Restricted deposits are amounts required to be held by the Company in segregated accounts for various state licensing regulations in relation to the sale of regulated prescription pet medications. Restricted deposits as of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016 were $200 and $250, respectively. Interest earned on restricted deposits is included in other income when earned.
Deferred Acquisition Liability	Deferred Acquisition Liability The Company has a deferred acquisition liability related to an acquisition that occurred in 2013. The liability is denominated in Euros and requires annual payments based on a percentage of gross profit from the sales of certain products, and any amounts not repaid by the annual payments will be due in June 2018. The current balance recorded as of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016 was $1,745 and $250, respectively, and is included in other accrued expenses. The non-current portion recorded as of December 31, 2016 was $1,303, and is included in deferred acquisition liability.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product has been delivered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company generally records revenues from product sales when the goods are shipped to the customer. For customers with Free on Board ("FOB") destination terms, a provision is recorded to exclude shipments determined to be in-transit to these customers at the end of the reporting period. A sales return allowance is recorded and accounts receivable are reduced as revenues are recognized for estimated losses on credit sales due to customer claims for discounts, returned goods and other items. The Company offers a variety of trade promotions and incentives to our customers, such as cooperative advertising programs and store placement. Sales are recorded net of trade promotion spending, which is recognized at the later of the date on which the Company recognizes the related revenue or the date on which the Company offers the incentive. The Company’s net sales are periodically influenced by the timing, extent and amount of such trade promotions and incentives. Accruals for expected payouts under these programs are included in other accrued expenses.
Shipping and Handling Costs	Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs are recorded as cost of sales, and are not billed to customers.
Research and Development and Advertising Costs	Research and Development and Advertising Costs Research and development and advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses. Research and development costs amounted to $11 4 and $82 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and $ 427 and $ 248 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Advertising costs were $436 and $273 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and $2,028 and $ 883 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Income taxes	Income taxes The Company records a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. The provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. The Company may record a valuation allowance, if conditions are applicable, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
Non-controlling interest	Non-controlling interest The non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated statements of income represents the portion of earnings or loss attributable to the economic interest in the Company’s subsidiary, PetIQ Holdings, LLC, held by the non-controlling Continuing LLC Owners. Non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheet represents the portion of net assets of the Company attributable to the non-controlling Continuing LLC Owners, based on the portion of the LLC Interests owned by such LLC interest holders. There was no significant non-controlling interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as well as the period prior to the IPO on July 20, 2017 because the Company operated as Opco during those periods. As of September 30, 2017 the non-controlling interest was approximately 38.5%.
Litigation	Litigation The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims, litigation, investigations and contingencies arising out of the ordinary course of business. If the likelihood of an adverse legal outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of loss is estimable, then a liability is accrued in accordance with accounting guidance for contingencies. The company consults with both internal and external legal counsel related to litigation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases. This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This standard requires adoption based upon a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with optional practical expedients. Based on a preliminary assessment, the Company expects that most of its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new guidance and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption, resulting in an increase in the assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. The Company is continuing its assessment, which may identify additional impacts this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , and subsequently issued several related Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) (“Topic 606”), which provide guidance for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of Topic 606 is that revenue will be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects consideration for which entitlement is expected in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 will be effective commencing with our quarter ending March 31, 2018. We currently anticipate adopting Topic 606 using the modified retrospective transition approach that may result in a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Based on the analysis to date, the Company expects the new standard will require accelerated recognition of trade promotions and customer incentives. These transactions are currently recognized at the later of the sale of goods or agreement, however under the new standard the Company will estimate incentives to be offered to customers as part of the sales price. The Company does not expect the change to be material. The Company is continuing its assessment, which may identify additional impacts this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . The amendments in this ASU clarify and provide specific guidance on eight cash flow classification issues that are not currently addressed by current U.S. GAAP. This ASU will be effective commencing with our quarter ending March 31, 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory . This ASU requires entities to measure most inventory "at the lower of cost or net realizable value," thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. The new standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this standard in first quarter of 2017 did not have a material effect on our financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU” No. 2016-09, “ Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718) .” ASU No. 2016-09 simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements, and classification in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2016, and interim periods beginning in the first interim period within the year of adoption. Any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company adopted the provisions of this standard effective January 1, 2017. The Company elected to continue to recognize estimated forfeitures over the term of the awards. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures.

(2) The expected volatility assumption was calculated based on a peer group analysis of stock price volatility with a look back period consistent with the expected option term. (3) The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant, which corresponds to the expected term of the stock options.
