Intellectual Property
We believe our intellectual property has significant value and is an important component in our merchandising and marketing
strategies. Some of our intellectual property includes numerous servicemarks and trademarks registered with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, or “USPTO,” including: PetSmart®, PetSmart.com®, PetSmart PetsHotel®, PetPerks®, and Where
Pets Are Family®, as well as many others. We also have several servicemark and trademark applications that are pending with
the USPTO and anticipate filing additional applications in the future. We also own numerous registered servicemarks, trademarks
and pending applications in other countries, including Canada. We also own several trade names, domain names and copyrights
for use in our business.
Employees
As of February 3, 2013, we employed approximately 52,000 associates, of which approximately 24,000 were employed full-
time. We continue to invest in education and training for our full and part-time associates as part of our emphasis on customer
service and providing pet care solutions. We are not subject to collective bargaining agreements and have not experienced work
stoppages. We consider our relationship with our associates to be a positive one.
Financial Information by Business Segment and Geographic Data
We have identified two operating segments, Merchandise and Services. These operating segments have similar long-term
economic characteristics, include sales to the same types of customers, have the same distribution method, and include sales similar
in nature, therefore, they have been aggregated into one reportable segment.
Net sales in the United States and Puerto Rico were $6.4 billion, $5.8 billion and $5.4 billion for 2012, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. Net sales in Canada, denominated in United States dollars, were $0.4 billion, $0.3 billion and $0.3 billion for 2012,
2011 and 2010, respectively. Substantially all our long-lived assets are located in the United States.
Available Information
We make available, free of charge through our investor relations internet website (www.petm.com), our Annual Report on
Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, including our XBRL instance documents, our current reports on Form 8-K
and amendments to those reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, or “SEC.”
The public may read and copy materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NW,
Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC
