PetMed Express dismisses RSM as auditor, hires Baker Tilly; cites material weaknesses in controls
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Audit Committee dismissed RSM US LLP as independent auditor effective after interim reviews; Baker Tilly US LLP engaged for FY2026.
- No disagreements on accounting principles but multiple reportable events: material weaknesses in ITGC, tone at the top, revenue recognition, and restatements.
- Material weaknesses include inadequate control environment, ineffective whistleblower process, and prior Audit Committee chair’s failure to report complaints to RSM.
- Former audit reports for FY2024 and FY2025 were unqualified; material weaknesses not fully remediated as of filing date.
- Company does not expect auditor change to delay filing of Q1 and Q2 FY2026 Form 10-Qs.
