CARLE PLACE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLWS), a leading gourmet food and floral gift provider for all occasions, today reported results for its fiscal 2019 second quarter. Chris McCann, CEO of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, said, “We are pleased to report accelerated revenue growth and solid year-over-year increases in earnings and cash flows for our fiscal second quarter. These results were driven by strong holiday and everyday gifting demand, combined with excellent execution, across all three of our business segments.” McCann said that consolidated revenue growth of 8.6 percent during the quarter was driven, in large part, by the Company’s Harry & David business. “Customers who were looking to express themselves, connect and celebrate for the year-end holidays, as well as for everyday occasions, clearly responded to Harry & David’s “Share More” brand messaging and its continued focus on truly original product offerings. In addition, our increased investments in digital marketing programs for Harry & David contributed to total-company new customer growth of nearly twelve percent during the quarter while also enabling us to continue to deepen our relationships with existing customers.” McCann said strong growth in the Company’s Gourmet Food and Gift Baskets segment also benefited from enhanced operating performance in its Cheryl’s Cookies business as well as solid wholesale channel growth in gift baskets and The Popcorn Factory brand.

McCann noted that the strong results for the quarter also benefited from continued positive trends in its Consumer Floral and BloomNet businesses. “The investments we have made – and continue to make – in our floral business are helping us to accelerate new customer growth and increase total order volumes. As a result, the 1-800-Flowers.com brand is further expanding its market leading position and BloomNet continues to grow its market share versus the legacy wire service providers. These positive trends position us well for continued accelerated revenue growth in the second half of our fiscal year, which features the Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day holidays as well as everyday occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, sympathy and get well for which the 1-800-Flowers.com brand is the go-to destination for our customers,” he said.

Fiscal 2019 Second Quarter Results:

Total net revenues for the quarter were $571.3 million, up 8.6 percent compared with $526.1 million in the prior year period. The strong growth was driven by increases in all three of the Company’s business segments with net revenues for Gourmet Foods and Gift Baskets up 8.4 percent, Consumer Floral up 8.0 percent and BloomNet up 15.0 percent compared with the prior year period.

Gross profit margin for the quarter was 44.6 percent, compared with gross profit margin of 44.7 percent in the prior year period. Operating expenses as a percent of total revenues was 28.0 percent, compared with operating expenses as a percent of total revenues of 28.7 percent in the prior year period.

The combination of these factors resulted in Net Income for the quarter of $68.6 million, or EPS of $1.04 per diluted share, compared with Net Income of $70.7 million, or EPS of $1.06 per diluted share in the prior year period. Adjusted for a one-time benefit of $12.2 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, associated with the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, adjusted net income in the prior year period was $58.5 million, or EPS of $0.88 per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $103.1 million, compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $94.5 million in the prior year period.

SEGMENT RESULTS:

The Company provides fiscal 2019 second quarter selected financial results for its Gourmet Foods and Gift Baskets, Consumer Floral and BloomNet business segments in the tables attached to this release and as follows:

  • Gourmet Foods and Gift Baskets: Revenues for the quarter were $440.0 million, an increase of 8.4 percent compared with reported revenues of $406.0 million in the prior year period. Revenue growth was driven primarily by Harry & David combined with improved performance by the Company’s Cheryl’s Cookies brand and increased wholesale channel sales for gift baskets and The Popcorn Factory. Gross profit margin was 45.6 percent for the period, up 20 basis points compared with gross profit margin of 45.4 percent in the prior year period. Segment contribution margin increased 12.9 percent to $105.5 million, compared with segment contribution margin of $93.5 million in the prior year period. The increased contribution margin primarily reflects the strong revenue growth in the quarter combined with improved gross profit margin.
  • Consumer Floral: Revenues in this segment increased 8.0 percent to $108.1 million, compared with $100.1 million in the prior year period. Gross profit margin was 38.5 percent, down 30 basis points compared with 38.8 percent in the prior year period. Segment contribution margin was $9.8 million, compared with $10.8 million in the prior year period. The lower gross margin and lower segment contribution margin primarily reflects the assumption of a full bonus payout for fiscal 2019 compared with a reduced payout in the prior year period, as well as increased investments the Company is making to extend its market leadership position in floral gifting and to launch its newest brand, Goodsey.
  • BloomNet Wire Service: Revenues for the quarter increased 15.0 percent to $23.4 million, compared with $20.4 million in the prior year period. Gross profit margin was 52.6 percent, down 480 basis points compared with 57.4 percent in the prior year period. The lower gross profit margin percentage reflects the investments the Company is making to drive increased order volumes and expand BloomNet’s market position. Segment contribution margin increased 7.3 percent to 8.3 million, compared with $7.7 million in the prior year period, reflecting the strong revenue growth, which more than offset the lower gross margin percentage in the quarter.

COMPANY GUIDANCE

The Company is increasing its guidance for fiscal year 2019 revenue and earnings as follows:

  • Consolidated revenue growth in a range of 7.0-to-8.0 percent compared with the prior year;
  • EPS in a range of $0.44 - to - $0.46 per diluted share;
  • Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $80.0 - to - $82.0 million.

The Company anticipates Free Cash Flow for the year will remain in a range of $30.0 million - to - $40.0 million.

Definitions of non-GAAP Financial Measures:

We sometimes use financial measures derived from consolidated financial information, but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Certain of these are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Non-GAAP financial measures referred to in this document are either labeled as “non-GAAP” or designated as such with a “1”. See below for definitions and the reasons why we use these non-GAAP financial measures. Where applicable, see the Selected Financial Information below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

EBITDA and Adjusted/ Comparable EBITDA

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted/ Comparable EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for the impact of stock-based compensation, Non-Qualified Plan Investment appreciation/depreciation, and for certain items affecting period to period comparability. See Selected Financial Information for details on how EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA were calculated for each period presented. The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted/ Comparable EBITDA 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 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 and Adjusted EBITDA 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 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 Adjusted EBITDA should only be used on a supplemental basis combined with GAAP results when evaluating the Company's performance.

Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted/ (Comparable) Segment Contribution Margin

We define Segment Contribution Margin as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, before the allocation of corporate overhead expenses. Adjusted (“Comparable”) Segment Contribution Margin is defined as Segment Contribution Margin adjusted for certain items affecting period to period comparability. See Selected Financial Information for details on how Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution margin were calculated for each period presented. When viewed together with our GAAP results, we believe Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin provide management and users of the financial statements information about the performance of our business segments. Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. The material limitation associated with the use of the Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin is that it is an incomplete measure of profitability as it does not include all operating expenses or non-operating income and expenses. Management compensates for these limitations when using this measure by looking at other GAAP measures, such as Operating Income and Net Income.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income Per Common Share (or EPS):

We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income Per Common Share (or EPS) as Net Income and Net Income Per Common Share (or EPS) adjusted for certain items affecting period to period comparability. See Selected Financial Information below for details on how Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income Per Common Share (or EPS) were calculated for each period presented. We believe that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income Per Common Share (or EPS) are meaningful measures because they increase the comparability of period to period results. Since these are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, GAAP Net Income and Net Income Per Common share (or EPS), as indicators of operating performance and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company considers Free Cash Flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of fixed assets, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in the Company’s business, make strategic acquisitions, strengthen the balance sheet and repurchase stock or retire debt. Free Cash Flow is a liquidity measure that is frequently used by the investment community in the evaluation of similarly situated companies. Since Free Cash Flow is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. A limitation of the utility of Free Cash Flow as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the Company's cash balance for the period.

  a)   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, both of which are non-GAAP measurements. 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), and other items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance.
 
b) 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.
