1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. Reports Strong Results from Continuing Operations for Its Fiscal 2015 Second Quarter

CARLE PLACE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. FLWS, the world's leading florist and gift shop, today reported total net revenues from continuing operations of $534.3 million for its fiscal 2015 second quarter ended December 28, 2014, compared with revenues from continuing operations of $266.3 million in the prior year period. Total adjusted net revenues for the quarter were $549.7 million including estimated lost revenues of $13.8 million due to the Thanksgiving-day fire at the Company's Fannie May warehouse and a $1.6 million purchase accounting adjustment to deferred revenue related to the Harry & David acquisition,.

The Company said that the more than doubling of revenues during the period, compared with the prior year, reflected contributions from its acquisition of the iconic Harry & David brand, which closed on September 30, 2014. Excluding Harry & David, revenues grew across all three of the Company's business segments, adjusted for the impact of aforementioned Fannie May warehouse fire.

Gross profit margin for the quarter increased 330 basis points to 45.0 percent, compared with 41.7 percent in the prior year period, primarily reflecting the contributions from Harry & David. Operating expenses as a percent of revenue was 31.0 percent, up 10 basis points compared with 30.9 percent in the prior year period reflecting the impacts of the lost revenues associated with the Fannie May warehouse fire and purchase accounting adjustments on Harry & David's revenues. Adjusted for this impact, operating expenses as a percent of revenue would have improved by approximately 70 basis points to 30.2 percent, compared with the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA, excluding stock-based compensation expense as well as the impact of the aforementioned Fannie May warehouse fire and the transaction costs and purchase accounting adjustments related to the Harry & David acquisition, increased 188.8 percent to $100.7 million, compared with EBITDA, excluding stock based compensation, of $34.9 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net income attributable to the Company and Adjusted EPS from continuing operations increased 217.9 percent and 207.4 percent respectively, to $55.7 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared with $17.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Reported EBITDA, excluding stock-based compensation expense, increased 143.8 percent to $85.0 million compared with $34.9 million in the prior year period. Reported net income attributable to the Company, increased 162.0 percent to $45.8 million or $0.68 per diluted share, compared with $17.5 million or $0.27 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Jim McCann, CEO of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, said, “During the fiscal second quarter, we more than doubled our revenues and tripled our bottom line results year-over-year, reflecting contributions from our Harry & David brand, which we acquired at the start of the period. Importantly, we also achieved top-line growth of nearly 5 percent across all three of our business segments – excluding the Harry & David contributions – when adjusted for the impact of the Thanksgiving-day fire at our Fannie May warehouse and distribution center in Maple Heights, Ohio. Thankfully no one was injured, however, the fire severely damaged our facility and destroyed the inventories and equipment stored there. As a result, we had extremely limited supplies of our Fannie May and Harry London chocolate during the key holiday season, reducing revenues for the quarter by nearly $14 million.”

McCann noted that the Company's insurance policies cover the losses incurred due to the fire, including material losses and business interruption. “Despite the impacts from the fire, our Fannie May chocolate business performed well during the quarter and I am particularly proud of the tremendous response and positive spirit of our dedicated associates throughout the Company who worked around the clock on Thanksgiving day and throughout the remainder of the quarter to develop and implement contingency plans to accelerate production and identify alternate warehouse and distribution options so that we could mitigate the impact of the fire on our business and, most important, continue to help our customers deliver smiles during the holiday season," he said.

McCann also noted that the Company's 1-800-Flowers.com consumer floral business showed continued top and bottom line growth during the quarter. “The 1-800-Flowers.com brand grew revenues nearly 3 percent during the quarter and maintained solid gross margins despite an extremely promotional competitive environment. As a result, the bottom-line contribution in our Consumer Floral segment increased nearly 10 percent for the period. These results build on the trends we saw in our fiscal first quarter and illustrate the strength of the 1-800-Flowers.com brand as the leader in the floral gifting space,” he said.

Regarding customer metrics for the quarter, the Company said it attracted 1.3 million new customers. Approximately 3.3 million customers placed orders during the quarter, of whom 60.4 percent were repeat customers. This reflects the contributions from the Harry & David brand as well as the Company's effective marketing programs, including initiatives in social and mobile communication channels designed to engage with its customers and deepen its relationships as their trusted Florist and Gift Shop for all of their celebratory occasions.

SEGMENT RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS:

The Company provides fiscal 2015 second quarter selected financial results for its Consumer Floral, BloomNet and Gourmet Foods and Gift Baskets business segments in the tables attached to this release and as follows:

• Consumer Floral: Revenues in this segment grew 2.5 percent to $99.6 million compared with $97.1 million in the prior year period. Gross profit margin for the quarter was 38.7 percent, essentially flat with the prior year period. Segment contribution margin increased 9.8 percent to $9.5 million, compared with $8.7 million in the prior year period, primarily reflecting enhanced operation leverage associated with the revenue growth. (The Company defines Segment Contribution Margin as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and before allocation of corporate overhead expenses.)

• BloomNet Wire Service: Revenues increased 1.0 percent to $20.1 million compared with $19.9 million in the prior year period. Gross margin for the quarter increased 100 basis points to 55.1 percent compared with 54.1 percent in the prior year period, primarily reflecting product mix. Segment contribution margin increased 2.2 percent to $6.7 million compared with $6.5 million in the prior year period.
• Gourmet Food and Gift Baskets: Revenues increased 177.1 percent to $414.7 million compared with $149.6 million in the prior year period. This reflects the contribution from the Harry & David brand which was acquired at the beginning of the quarter. The category also benefited from strong sales growth at its Cheryl's and 1-800-Baskets.com brands, as well as continued growth in its DesignPac wholesale gift baskets business. As previously mentioned, the Thanksgiving-day fire at the Fannie May warehouse and distribution facility impacted revenues in this segment by approximately $13.6 million. (Adjusted for these lost sales and excluding the Harry & David contributions, revenues in this segment increased 6.9 percent to $160.0 million.) Gross margin for the quarter increased 430 basis points to 46.0 percent compared with 41.7 percent in the prior year period, reflecting the contributions from the Harry & David brand. Segment contribution margin increased 191.4 percent to $90.5 million compared with $31.0 million in the prior year period, also reflecting the contributions from the Harry & David brand. Adjusted for the aforementioned impact from the Fannie May fire and purchase accounting adjustments to the Harry & David results, segment contribution margin increased 230 percent to $102.4 million.

Company Guidance:

The Company reiterated its guidance for Fiscal 2015 which includes contributions from the addition of the Harry & David business which the Company acquired on September 30, 2014.

• In terms of revenues: The Company anticipates generating total net revenues from continuing operations in excess of $1.1 billion for fiscal 2015.
• Regarding bottom-line results: The Company anticipates generating Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $90 million for fiscal 2015 (excluding transaction costs and purchase accounting adjustments related to the Harry & David acquisition, the impact of stock-based compensation and adjusted for the aforementioned impact of the Fannie May warehouse fire).
• Adjusted EPS for the year is expected to be in a range of $0.45-to-$0.50 per diluted share (excluding the aforementioned transaction-related costs and purchase accounting adjustments and adjusting for the impact of the Fannie May warehouse fire).

The Company noted that its guidance for top and bottom-line results for fiscal 2015 does not include Harry & David's results for the fiscal first quarter of the year which is typically their lowest in terms of revenues and includes a substantial bottom-line loss.

McCann also noted that, “with Harry & David's key holiday season now completed, we have recently launched a comprehensive integration program designed to identify and pursue synergistic opportunities for both revenue growth and operating efficiencies. We now have a variety of initiatives underway across our operating platform which we believe can generate operating cost efficiencies in excess of $15 million over the next 36 months, adding to the already highly accretive nature of this acquisition. Achieving these savings will likely require some investment during the second half of fiscal 2015 which would offset any savings during the current fiscal year. We expect the full benefits of these operating synergies to be realized over a three year period beginning in fiscal 2016.”

Definitions:

* EBITDA: Net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization. Free Cash Flow: net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Category contribution margin: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, before the allocation of corporate overhead expenses The Company presents EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Free Cash Flow because it considers such information meaningful supplemental measures of its performance and believes such information is frequently used by the investment community in the evaluation of similarly situated companies. The Company also uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as factors used to determine the total amount of incentive compensation available to be awarded to executive officers and other employees. The Company's credit agreement uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with covenants such as interest coverage and debt incurrence. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by the Company to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. EBITDA,Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are: (a) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs; (b) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company's debts; and (c) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. EBITDA and Free Cash Flow should only be used on a supplemental basis combined with GAAP results when evaluating the Company's performance.

(*)		Corporate expenses consist of the Company's enterprise shared service cost centers, and include, among other items, Information Technology, Human Resources, Accounting and Finance, Legal, Executive and Customer Service Center functions, as well as Stock-Based Compensation. In order to leverage the Company's infrastructure, these functions are operated under a centralized management platform, providing support services throughout the organization. The costs of these functions, other than those of the Customer Service Center, which are allocated directly to the above categories based upon usage, are included within corporate expenses as they are not directly allocable to a specific segment.
(**)		Performance is measured based on segment contribution margin or segment Adjusted EBITDA, reflecting only the direct controllable revenue and operating expenses of the segments. As such, management's measure of profitability for these segments does not include the effect of corporate overhead, described above, depreciation and amortization, other income (net), nor does it include one-time charges or gains. Management utilizes EBITDA, and adjusted financial information, as a performance measurement tool because it considers such information a meaningful supplemental measure of its performance and believes it is frequently used by the investment community in the evaluation of companies with comparable market capitalization. The Company also uses EBITDA and adjusted financial information as one of the factors used to determine the total amount of bonuses available to be awarded to executive officers and other employees. The Company's credit agreement uses EBITDA and adjusted financial information to measure compliance with covenants such as interest coverage and debt incurrence. EBITDA and adjusted financial information is also used by the Company to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. EBITDA and adjusted financial information have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs; (b) EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company's debts; and (c) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, EBITDA should only be used on a supplemental basis combined with GAAP results when evaluating the Company's performance.
