FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report") are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are only predictions and are based largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Forward-looking statements contained herein include, among others, statements concerning management's expectations about future events, operating plans and performance, the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical actions and the threat of cyber-attacks, including levels of consumer, business and economic confidence generally, the regulatory environment, litigation, sales and the expected benefits of our business strategy and strategic priorities, and such statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of management, as applicable. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances, or otherwise. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. You should, however, consult further disclosures we make in future filings and public disclosures, including without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Annual Report"), Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q, and Current Reports on Forms 8-K.

Table of Contents

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those summarized below:

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies

Nature of the business

Better Choice Company Inc. (the "Company") is a pet health and wellness company focused on providing pet products and services that help dogs and cats live healthier, happier and longer lives. The Company has a broad portfolio of pet health and wellness products for dogs and cats sold under its Halo brand across multiple forms, including foods, treats, toppers, dental products, chews and supplements. The products consist of kibble and canned dog and cat food, freeze-dried raw dog food and treats, vegan dog food and treats, oral care products and supplements.

Basis of presentation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reports and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Results of operations for interim periods may not be representative of results to be expected for the full year.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC.

Consolidation

The condensed financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates these assumptions, judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the financial position as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and the cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Going Concern Considerations

The Company is subject to risks common in the pet wellness consumer market including, but not limited to, dependence on key personnel, competitive forces, successful marketing and sale of its products, the successful protection of its proprietary technologies, ability to grow into new markets, and compliance with government regulations. The Company has continually incurred losses, has an accumulated deficit and is currently subject to certain financial covenants, which requires maintaining a minimum liquidity (as defined in the Wintrust Credit Facility, defined below) of no less than (i) $13.0 million as of the last day of each fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022, through and including the last day of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022 and (ii) $12.0 million as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023, and as of the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter. Our continued operating losses along with this financial covenant create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company does not currently expect it will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet the required financial covenant in certain periods prior to maturity giving the lender the right to call the debt. The Company will need to either raise additional capital or obtain additional financing, and/or secure future waivers or amendments from its lenders, or accomplish some combination of these items to maintain sufficient liquidity. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital, securing future waivers and/or amendments from its lenders, renewing or refinancing its existing debt or securing new financing. If the Company is unsuccessful in doing so, it may need to reduce the scope of its operations, repay amounts owed to its lenders or sell certain assets.

Table of Contents

The Company is continuing to implement plans to achieve operating profitability, as well as implementing other strategic objectives to address the liquidity. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and payments of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount of and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Summary of significant accounting policies

For additional information, please refer to the most recently filed Annual Report regarding the Company's summary of significant accounting policies.

Advertising

The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred and such charges are included in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses. The Company's advertising expenses consist primarily of online advertising, search costs, email advertising, and radio advertising. In addition, we reimburse our customers and third parties for in store activities and record these costs as advertising expenses. Advertising costs were $2.9 million and $5.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and $2.1 million and $4.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Share repurchases

On May 10, 2022, the Company's board of directors approved a share repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to $3.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock in the open market through December 31, 2022. Repurchased shares are immediately retired and returned to unissued status. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 no shares were repurchased.

New accounting standards

Issued but not yet adopted

ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, a new standard to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard, including subsequent updates, will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but does not expect the guidance to have a significant impact on the financial statements.

Note 2 - Revenue

The Company records revenue net of discounts, which primarily consist of early pay discounts, general percentage allowances and contractual trade promotions.

The Company excludes sales taxes collected from revenues. Retail-partner based customers are not subject to sales tax.

The Company’s direct-to-consumer ("DTC") loyalty program enables customers to accumulate points based on their spending. A portion of revenue is deferred at the time of sale when points are earned and recognized when the loyalty points are redeemed.

Revenue channels

The Company groups its revenue channels into four categories: E-commerce, which includes the sale of product to online retailers such as Amazon and Chewy; Brick & Mortar, which primarily includes the sale of product to Pet Specialty retailers such as Petco, Pet Supplies Plus and neighborhood pet stores, as well as to select grocery chains; DTC, which includes the sale of product through the Company's website; and International, which includes the sale of product to foreign distribution partners and to select international retailers (transacted in U.S. dollars).

On January 6, 2021, Halo, Purely for Pets, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Better Choice Company Inc. ("Halo") entered into a credit facility with Old Plank Trail Community Bank, N.A., an affiliate of Wintrust Bank, N.A. (“Wintrust”) consisting of a $6.0 million term loan and a $6.0 million revolving line of credit, each scheduled to mature on January 6, 2024 and each bore interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 250 basis points, with an interest rate floor of 2.50% per annum (the "Wintrust Credit Facility"). The Second Wintrust Amendment described below updated the rate at which the Wintrust Credit Facility bears interest to the greater of the daily Federal Funds Rate plus 285 basis points, or the interest rate floor, which remained unchanged. Accrued interest on the Wintrust Credit Facility is payable monthly which commenced on February 1, 2021. Principal payments are required to be made monthly on the term loan commencing February 2021 with a balloon payment upon maturity. The proceeds from the Wintrust Credit Facility were used (i) to repay outstanding principal, interest and fees under the previous revolving line of credit with Citizens Business Bank (the "ABL Facility") and (ii) for general corporate purposes. Debt issuance costs of $0.1 million were incurred related to the Wintrust Credit Facility.

The Wintrust Credit Facility subjected the Company to certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.25 to 1.00, tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The numerator in the fixed charge coverage ratio was the operating cash flow of Halo, defined as Halo EBITDA less cash paid for unfinanced Halo capital expenditures, income taxes and dividends. The denominator was fixed charges such as interest expense and principal payments paid or payable on other indebtedness attributable to Halo. As of December 31, 2021, the Company failed to satisfy the fixed charge coverage ratio and entered into a default waiver agreement with Wintrust in which Wintrust waived the existing default through the next testing date, March 31, 2022. In addition, as part of the Second Wintrust Amendment described below, the financial covenants were amended to subject the Company to a minimum liquidity covenant test in lieu of a fixed charge coverage ratio which requires the Company to maintain liquidity, tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning March 31, 2022, of no less than (i) $13.0 million as of the last day of each fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022, through and including the last day of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022 and (ii) $12.0 million as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023, and as of the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter.

The Wintrust Credit Facility is secured by a general guaranty and security interest on the assets, including the intellectual property, of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company has also pledged all of the capital stock of Halo held by the Company as additional collateral. Furthermore, the Wintrust Credit Facility was supported by a collateral pledge by a member of the Company’s board of directors; as a result of the First Wintrust Amendment described below, this collateral pledge was terminated and released.

On August 13, 2021, Halo entered into the first amendment to the Wintrust Credit Facility (the “First Wintrust Amendment”) to increase the revolving line of credit from $6.0 million to $7.5 million. The First Wintrust Amendment also required Halo to secure the credit facility with a pledge of a deposit account in the amount of $7.2 million, which was decreased to $6.9 million on January 1, 2022 and will be further decreased to $6.0 million on January 1, 2023. Additionally, on March 25, 2022, the Company entered into the second amendment to the Wintrust Credit Facility (the "Second Wintrust Amendment") which provided for the release of the Company's Bona Vida subsidiary as a guarantor, an update to the financial covenants as described above and an update to the rate at which the Wintrust Credit Facility bears interest, which is also described above.

As of June 30, 2022, the term loan and line of credit outstanding under the Wintrust Credit Facility were $5.0 million and $7.4 million, respectively, net of debt issuance costs of less than $0.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the term loan and line of credit outstanding were $5.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively, net of debt issuance costs of less than $0.1 million, respectively. Debt issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest method. The carrying amount for the Company’s term loan and line of credit approximate fair value as the instruments have variable interest rates that approximate market rates.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenant requirements and there were no events of default.

Note 8 - Commitments and contingencies

The Company had no material purchase obligations as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

The Company may be involved in legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory, tax, or government inquiries and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business resulting in loss contingencies. The Company accrues for loss contingencies when losses become probable and are reasonably estimable. If the reasonable estimate of the loss is a range and no amount within the range is a better estimate, the minimum amount of the range is recorded as a liability. Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to expense in the period incurred and are recorded in SG&A expenses. The Company does not accrue for contingent losses that are considered to be reasonably possible, but not probable; however, the Company discloses the range of such reasonably possible losses. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed.

Litigation is subject to numerous uncertainties and the outcome of individual claims and contingencies is not predictable. It is possible that some legal matters for which reserves have or have not been established could result in an unfavorable outcome for the Company and any such unfavorable outcome could be of a material nature or have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Management is not aware of any claims or lawsuits that may have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Note 9 - Warrants

The following summarizes the Company's outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Note 10 - Share-based compensation

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $0.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense.

On November 11, 2019, the Company received shareholder approval for the Amended and Restated 2019 Incentive Award Plan (the “Amended 2019 Plan”). The Amended 2019 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, other stock or cash-based awards or a dividend equivalent award. The total number of shares currently authorized for issuance under the Amended 2019 Plan is 5,614,637.

Stock options

Options granted under the Amended 2019 Plan vest over a period of two to three years. All vested options are exercisable and may be exercised through the ten-year anniversary of the grant date (or such earlier date described in the applicable award agreement). The fair value of an option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option valuation model. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted 77,000 and 602,000 stock options, respectively, under the Amended 2019 Plan. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted 25,834 and 955,688 stock options, respectively, under the Amended 2019 Plan.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had 3,261,774 and 2,684,041 stock options outstanding, respectively.

Stock awards

In February 2022, the Company granted 218,345 shares of common stock to members of its board of directors under the Amended 2019 Plan as compensation for annual board service. The stock awards were immediately vested and, as such, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $0.5 million upon issuance.

Note 11 - Income taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded minimal income tax expense and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded no income tax expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company's effective tax rate was less than 1% and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s effective tax rate was 0%. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily because the Company’s losses have been fully offset by a valuation allowance due to uncertainty of realizing the tax benefit of net operating losses ("NOLs”) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Note 12 - Related party transactions

Director fees

The Company pays quarterly board of director fees. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $0.1 million of director fees were in accounts payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

Note 13 - Concentrations

Major suppliers

The Company sourced approximately 73% of its inventory purchases from three vendors for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company sourced approximately 68% of its inventory purchases from two vendors for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Major customers

Accounts receivable from three customers represented 89% of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2022. Accounts receivable from three customers represented 71% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2021. Four customers represented 68% of gross sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Three customers represented 50% of gross sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Credit risk

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were deposited in accounts at certain financial institutions and may maintain some balances in excess of federally insured limits. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality, accredited financial institutions and, accordingly, such funds are subject to minimal credit risk. The Company has not experienced any losses historically in these accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk in its cash and cash equivalents.

Note 14 - (Loss) earnings per share

The Company presents (loss) earnings per share on a basic and diluted basis. Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding ("WASO") during the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method and convertible notes and preferred stock using the if-converted method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the holder must pay for exercising stock options or warrants and the amount of average compensation cost for future service that has not yet been recognized are collectively assumed to be used to repurchase shares.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders are the same because the Company generated a net loss and common stock equivalents are excluded from diluted net loss per share as they have an antidilutive impact. As the Company reported net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, basic and diluted net earnings per share attributable to common stockholders are calculated as outlined above. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the weighted average diluted common shares had 3,471,245 and 4,474,577 common stock equivalents excluded, respectively, based on the fact that their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.

We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Overview and Outlook

Better Choice is a rapidly growing pet health and wellness company committed to leading the industry shift toward pet products and services that help dogs and cats live healthier, happier and longer lives. Our mission is to become the most innovative premium pet food company in the world, and we are motivated by our commitment to making products with integrity and treating pets and their parents with respect. We believe that our broad portfolio of pet health and wellness products are well positioned to benefit from the trends of growing pet humanization and an increased consumer focus on health and wellness, and have adopted a laser focused, channel-specific approach to growth that is driven by new product innovation. Our executive team has a proven history of success in both pet and consumer-packaged goods, and has over 50 years of combined experience in the pet industry and over 100 years of combined experience in the consumer-packaged goods industry.

We sell our premium and super-premium products (which we believe generally includes products with a retail price greater than $0.20 per ounce) under the Halo brand umbrella, which includes Halo Holistic™, Halo Elevate® and the former TruDog brand, which has been rebranded and successfully integrated under the Halo brand umbrella during the third quarter of 2022. Our core products sold under the Halo brand are made with high-quality, thoughtfully sourced ingredients for natural, science based nutrition. Each innovative recipe is formulated with leading veterinary and nutrition experts to deliver optimal health. Our diverse and established customer base has enabled us to penetrate multiple channels of trade, which we believe enables us to deliver on core consumer needs and serve pet parents wherever they shop. We group these channels of trade into four distinct categories: E-commerce, which includes the sale of product to online retailers such as Amazon and Chewy; Brick & Mortar, which primarily includes the sale of product to Pet Specialty retailers such as Petco, Pet Supplies Plus and neighborhood pet stores, as well as to select grocery chains; DTC, which includes the sale of product through our website halopets.com; and International, which includes the sale of product to foreign distribution partners and to select international retailers.

The Global Pet Food and Treat Market

The U.S. represents the largest and most developed market for pet food globally, with food and treats accounting for approximately $39 billion of consumer sales in 2019, or 36% of the total U.S. pet care market, according to AlphaWise and Morgan Stanley Research. According to the American Pet Product Association, between 66% and 70% of all households in the U.S. own a pet, equating to a total pet population of more than 130 million companion animals and an average of 1.7 pets per household. Pet spending represents a significant portion of household spend on consumer products, as this translates to an average annual spend on pet care of more than $1,500 per pet owning household, with $460 of this spend attributed to pet food and treats.

Historically, consumer spending on pets grew at an approximately 3% CAGR in the decade leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by steady annual increases in household pet ownership of approximately 1%, the continued premiumization of the category and the humanization of pets. These industry tailwinds have been magnified in the post-COVID landscape, as stay-at-home orders have driven a more than tripling of annual pet ownership growth alongside fundamental changes in consumer purchasing behavior. This surge in pet acquisition has led to a dramatic increase in the forecasted growth of the pet care industry over the next ten years.

Table of Contents

Beyond the estimated $3.9 billion permanent increase to annual spend on pet food and treats, this “Pet Boom” was driven by the acceleration of pet ownership by millennial and Gen-Z households. From a demographic perspective, younger pet owners are more likely to spend a higher percentage of their income on pets, treat their pet as an important member of the family and to purchase products from pet specialty and online retailers rather than from grocery stores. Along these lines, women are 3.2 times more interested in purchasing pet food than men, and are 2.4 times more likely to engage with search ads than men. Taken holistically, these traits suggest a preference to purchase more premium and super-premium pet food and treats from brands like Halo, with a tendency to purchase products in the channels where we compete.

Globally, Asia is the second largest market for pet products, with China representing the largest market opportunity for growth. Like the U.S., growth in the Asian pet care industry has been driven by dramatic increases in household pet ownership. We believe that growth in Asia is fueled by increasing levels of economic financial status and demand for premium, western manufactured products as a result of product quality concerns. This demand has been supported by a rapidly growing middle class in China, where a recent McKinsey report estimated that in 2018 roughly 730 million people in urban areas fell into the income categories of “aspirants” and “affluents,” with the Brookings group estimating that approximately 60 million people are added to these income categories each year. We believe that this growth drove the increase in the number of dog-owning Chinese households as measured by Euromontior, which increased from 12% in 2015 to 20% in 2020, according to Euromonitor. According to Euromonitor, the Chinese market for premium dry dog and cat food is anticipated to grow at a 20% CAGR and 28% CAGR, respectively, from 2015 through 2025, suggesting that the Chinese pet market has significant room for growth in the foreseeable future. We are focused on targeting Chinese pet owners with the highest willingness to pay, which tend to be urban dwelling millennial and Gen-Z women. In 2021, 80% of our products were purchased online, and approximately 50% of our end-consumers were born after 1990.

Our Growth Strategy

•Strong Innovation Pipeline. We have a robust and growing pipeline of new products, and believe our size is an advantage as we are nimble enough to quickly bring new products to market, but large enough to benefit from strong existing customer relationships and established economies of scale with our co-manufacturers.

•Ability to Leverage Differentiated Omni-Channel Strategy for Growth. We believe that we can leverage our differentiated omni-channel strategy to design and sell products purpose-built for success in specific channels while maintaining our ability to leverage marketing and sales resources cross-channel. We believe that this strategy will allow us to deliver on core consumer needs, maximize gross margin and respond to changing channel dynamics that have accelerated because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

•Capitalize on Continuing Trends of Humanization of Pets. We believe our combination of innovative products designed specifically for certain channels can assist our growth to become a leader in the premium and super-premium categories across dog and cat food.

•Well Positioned to Capitalize on a Once-in-a-Generation Demographic Shift in Asia. We believe that Asia represents the largest macro-growth opportunity in the global pet food industry. In China, the number of households that own a pet has doubled in the last five years, with younger pet owners leading growth.

Net sales

We sell our products through online retailers, pet specialty retailers, our online portal directly to our consumers and internationally to foreign distribution partners (transacted in U.S. dollars). Generally, our sales transactions are single performance obligations that are recorded at the time the product is shipped from our distribution centers and when control transfers. We offer a variety of trade promotions, discounts and incentives to our customers, which impacts the transaction price of our products and our net sales accordingly. DTC net sales include revenue derived from shipping fees and are net of loyalty points earned (a portion of revenue is deferred at the time of the sale as points are earned and not recognized until the redemption of the points, estimated based on historical experience). We record a revenue reserve based on historical return rates to account for customer returns.

Information about our revenue channels is as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,

Net Sales	$	16,515	100	%	$	10,989	100	%	$	33,529	100	%	$	21,819	100	%

Net sales increased $5.5 million, or 50%, to $16.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Net sales increased $11.7 million, or 54%, to $33.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $21.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increases were driven by growth in our Brick & Mortar channel driven by the launch of Halo Elevate®, growth in our International channel and growth in our E-commerce channel, partially offset by lower DTC sales driven by an intentional reduction in new customer acquisition advertising in preparation for our strategic rebranding of TruDog under the Halo umbrella which was successfully executed and implemented in July 2022. Our revenue growth and the sales for certain products has been negatively impacted by the supply chain issues being felt globally as we navigate through short-term shortages in raw materials as well as production delays stemming from labor constraints.

Key factors that we expect to affect our future sales growth include new product innovation and launches, our expansion strategy in each of the sales channels and our key supplier relationships.

Gross profit

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the cost of product obtained from co-manufacturers, packaging materials, freight costs for shipping inventory to the warehouse, as well as third-party warehouse and order fulfillment costs. We review inventory on hand periodically to identify damages, slow moving inventory, and/or aged inventory. Based on this analysis, we record inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with any reduction in value expensed as cost of goods sold.

Our products are manufactured to our specifications by our co-manufacturers using raw materials. We work with our co-manufacturers to secure a supply of raw materials that meet our specifications. In addition to procuring raw materials that meet our formulation requirements, our co-manufacturers manufacture, test and package our products. We design our packaging for our co-manufacturers and the packaging is shipped directly to them.

Our gross profit has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, primarily product sales mix, volumes sold, discounts offered to newly acquired and recurring customers, the cost of our manufactured products, and the cost of freight from the manufacturer to the warehouse.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, gross profit increased $0.8 million, or 21%, to $4.7 million compared to $3.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross profit margin decreased 6% to 29% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 35% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, gross profit increased $1.2 million, or 15%, to $9.4 million compared to $8.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross profit margin decreased 9% to 28% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 37% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The change in margin was driven primarily by cost increases from our primary suppliers as a result of broad-scale inflation in the industry.

Table of Contents

We are actively working with our co-manufacturer and freight partners as well as transitioning some of our primary suppliers to generate future cost savings. Additionally, we have taken price increases to our customers to help cover these cost increases beginning late in the third quarter of 2021 and additional price increases in the first quarter of 2022, which became effective in the second quarter of 2022. We could see continued margin variability due to the current economic environment and pricing pressures due to inflationary costs for both transportation and raw materials. We will continue to refine and optimize our overall pricing strategy as we evaluate the future impact of inflation and align ourselves with the market.

Operating expenses

Our SG&A expenses consist of the following:

•Sales and marketing costs for specific customer promotional programs, paid media, content creation expenses and our DTC selling platform. Marketing costs are geared towards customer acquisition and retention and building brand awareness. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, sales and marketing costs increased approximately $1.1 million or 44%, to $3.6 million from $2.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, sales and marketing costs increased approximately $2.0 million or 45%, to $6.5 million from $4.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increases were driven primarily by increased promotional spend in our International sales channel, as well as marketing and advertising agency fees related to building and launching our new sales strategy, partially offset by an intentional decrease in DTC marketing spend as we begin to shift the focus of our investments to our longer-term DTC strategy.

•Employee compensation and benefits increased approximately $0.6 million or 38% during the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $2.2 million from $1.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, employee compensation and benefits increased approximately $0.1 million or 2% to $4.2 million from $4.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increases were primarily related to the addition of several key members to our management team during the second half of 2021 that have significant operating experience in the pet and consumer-packaged good sectors which we believe will enable us to successfully execute our growth strategy, partially offset by higher severance costs during the first half of 2021.

•Freight, which is primarily related to the shipping of DTC orders to customers, remained flat at $0.5 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Freight also remained flat at $0.9 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Freight costs are generally increasing, offset by our lower DTC sales as described above.

•Non-cash charges including depreciation, amortization, disposal or sale of assets and bad debt expense decreased $0.2 million or 33% during the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $0.4 million from $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, non-cash charges decreased approximately $0.2 million or 18% to $0.9 million from $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decreases were driven by disposals of certain assets during 2021.

•Other general and administrative costs for various general corporate expenses, including professional services, information technology, insurance, travel, costs related to merchant credit card fees, product development costs, rent, and warehousing costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, other general and administrative costs decreased $0.1 million, or 6% to $1.5 million compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was driven by lower professional fees and lower franchise taxes, partially offset by a non-cash reduction of our sales tax liability of $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 with no similar expense during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as well as increased international consulting fees during the three months ended June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, other general and administrative costs increased $0.2 million, or 6% to $3.3 million compared to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was driven by a non-cash reduction of our sales tax liability of $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 with no similar reduction of expense during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as well as increased International consulting fees during the six months ended June 30, 2022, partially offset by lower professional fees, lower franchise taxes and a reduction in rent expense as a result of prior lease terminations.

Share-based compensation includes expenses related to equity awards issued to employees and non-employee directors. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, share-based compensation increased $0.5 million, or 141%, to $0.8 million as compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by accelerated vesting of a certain stock option grant during the three months ended June 30, 2022, additional stock option grants, and a non-recurring reduction to expense during the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, share-based compensation decreased $1.0 million, or 34%, to $1.9 million as compared to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was driven by accelerated vesting on certain stock option grants during 2021, partially offset by common stock issued for board service and accelerated vesting of a certain stock option grant during 2022 and additional option grants.

Interest expense, net

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, interest expense decreased $2.1 million to $0.1 million from $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, interest expense decreased $2.9 million to $0.2 million from $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is comprised of interest on our Wintrust Credit Facility and the amortization of debt issuance costs. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 is comprised of interest on our Wintrust Credit Facility, payable in-kind interest on our previous senior subordinated convertible notes, and the amortization of debt issuance costs and accretion of debt discounts, including $1.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 associated with the remaining discount on the previous convertible notes, which was fully accreted to interest expense in connection with the conversion to common stock resulting from the commencement of the trading of our common stock on the NYSE.

Gain on extinguishment of debt, net

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.9 million, while there was no corresponding activity for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Gain on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended June 30, 2021 relates to extinguishment accounting applied in connection with the forgiveness of our Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred a net gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million, while there was no corresponding activity for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Gain on extinguishment of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2021 relates to extinguishment accounting applied in connection with the forgiveness of our PPP loans, partially offset by the loss on termination of a term loan and ABL Facility.

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities

Common stock warrants classified as liabilities are revalued at each balance sheet date subsequent to the initial issuance and changes in the fair value are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as change in fair value of warrant liabilities. The change in fair value for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 relates to the change in the fair value of common stock warrants issued in connection with a private placement. Upon consummation of our IPO on July 1, 2021, these warrants met the requirements to be considered equity were reclassified as such.

Income taxes

Our income tax provision consists of an estimate of federal and state income taxes based on enacted federal and state tax rates, as adjusted for any allowable credits, deductions and uncertain tax positions as they arise. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded minimal income tax expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we did not record income tax expense due to the continued losses incurred by us. The effective tax rate is less than 1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, which differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily because our losses have been fully offset by a valuation allowance due to uncertainty of realizing the tax benefit of our NOLs.

Liquidity and capital resources

Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through the sales of shares of our common stock, warrants, preferred stock, and loans. In connection with our IPO on July 1, 2021, we issued and sold 8,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $5.00 per share and received total net proceeds of approximately $36.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $2.8 million, and offering costs of approximately $1.1 million. On June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $17.8 million and $28.9 million, respectively.

We are subject to risks common in the pet wellness consumer market including, but not limited to, dependence on key personnel, competitive forces, successful marketing and sale of our products, the successful protection of our proprietary technologies, ability to grow into new markets, and compliance with government regulations. As of June 30, 2022, we have not experienced a significant adverse impact to our business, financial condition or cash flows resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical actions or threat of cyber-attacks. However, we have seen adverse impacts to our gross profit margin due to inflationary pressures in the current economic environment. Uncertainties regarding the continued economic impact of inflationary pressures, the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical actions and threat of cyber-attacks are likely to result in sustained market turmoil, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, and cash flows in the future.

We are required to maintain a minimum liquidity (as defined in the Wintrust Credit Facility) of no less than (i) $13.0 million as of the last day of each fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022, through and including the last day of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022 and (ii) $12.0 million as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023, and as of the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter, to comply with our financial covenants. We have historically incurred losses and expect to continue to generate operating losses and consume cash resources in the near term. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, meaning that we may be unable to generate sufficient operating cash flows to

Table of Contents

maintain compliance with our financial covenant giving the lender the right to call the debt. We have implemented and continue to implement plans to achieve operating profitability, including various margin improvement initiatives, the consolidation of and introduction of new co-manufacturers, the optimization of our pricing strategy and ingredient profiles, and new product innovation.

Our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by the potential worsening of global economic conditions, including inflationary pressures, and the recent disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets in the United States and worldwide resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions. If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to raise the necessary funds when needed or achieve planned cost savings, or other strategic objectives are not achieved, we may not be able to continue our operations, or we could be required to modify our operations that could slow future growth. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and payments of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount of and classification of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

A summary of our cash flows is as follows (in thousands):


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021
Cash flows (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	(12,998)	$	(4,662)
Investing activities	(189)		(54)
Financing activities	2,068		3,274
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(11,119)	$	(1,442)

Cash flows from operating activities

Cash used in operating activities increased $8.3 million, or 179%, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in cash used in operating activities was driven by significant fluctuations in our working capital, including a comparative increase in our inventory balance of $5.2 million as we continued to build inventory to support the Halo Elevate® launch, a comparative increase in accounts receivable balances of $1.3 million due to the timing of sales and collections and a comparative reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $0.6 million.

Cash flows from investing activities

Cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The cash used in investing activities is related to the purchase of fixed assets.

Cash flows from financing activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $3.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was related to net proceeds from the revolving line of credit of $2.5 million, partially offset by payments on the term loan of $0.4 million. The cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily related to proceeds from private placements of $4.1 million and cash received from warrant exercises of $1.7 million, partially offset by net payments on the term loans of $2.2 million.

Indebtedness

As of June 30, 2022, our indebtedness consisted of a term loan and a revolving credit facility. For additional details about the terms, covenants and restrictions contained in the Wintrust Credit Facility, see "Note 7 - Debt" to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable regulations of the SEC, that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Table of Contents

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgements involved in the accounting policies described in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2021 have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements and, therefore, we consider those to be our critical accounting estimates. Accordingly, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates compared to the descriptions in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and not required to provide the information under this Item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Management evaluated its internal control over financial reporting for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Based upon that evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Other than otherwise noted below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report filed on March 29, 2022. You should carefully consider, in addition to the other information set forth in this report, the below and the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks facing our Company. In addition to risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Our recurring losses and significant accumulated deficit have raised substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have experienced recurring operating losses, have a significant accumulated deficit and are required to maintain certain minimum liquidity thresholds to comply with the financial covenants associated with the Wintrust Credit Facility. We expect to continue to generate operating losses and consume cash resources in the near term. Without generating sufficient cash flow from operations or additional debt or equity financing, these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, meaning that we may be unable to continue operations for the foreseeable future or realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. If we need to seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected and we may be unable to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our consolidated financial statements, and it is likely that investors will lose all or a part of their investment.
