Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended December 29, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 29, 2025. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, which provides a more complete understanding of our accounting policies, financial position, operating results and other matters.
The Company’s quarterly results may experience seasonal fluctuations. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, and its continued expansion into non-floral products, the Thanksgiving through Christmas holiday season, which falls within the Company’s second fiscal quarter, is expected to generate over 40% of the Company’s annual revenues, and all of its earnings. Due to the number of major floral gifting occasions, including Mother's Day, Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Administrative Professionals Week, revenues also have historically risen during the Company’s fiscal third and fourth quarters in comparison to its fiscal first quarter.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Net revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration that we expect to receive, reduced by discounts and estimates for credits and returns (calculated based upon previous experience and management’s evaluation). Service and outbound shipping charged to customers are recognized at the time the related merchandise revenues are recognized and are included in net revenues. Inbound and outbound shipping and delivery costs are included in cost of revenues. Net revenues exclude sales and other similar taxes collected from customers.
A description of our principal revenue generating activities is as follows:
| ● | E-commerce revenues - consumer products sold through our online and telephonic channels. Revenue is recognized when control of the merchandise is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment. Payment is typically due prior to the date of shipment. |
| ● | Retail revenues - consumer products sold through our retail stores. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, at the point of sale, at which time payment is received. |
| ● | Wholesale revenues - products sold to our wholesale customers for subsequent resale. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement. Payment terms are typically 30 days from the date control over the product is transferred to the customer. |
| ● | BloomNet Services - membership fees as well as other service offerings to florists. Membership and other subscription-based fees are recognized monthly as earned. Services revenues related to orders sent through the floral network are variable, based on either the number of orders or the value of orders, and are recognized in the period in which the orders are delivered. The contracts within BloomNet Services are typically month-to-month and, as a result no consideration allocation is necessary across multiple reporting periods. Payment is typically due less than 30 days from the date the services were performed. |
Deferred Revenues
Deferred revenues are recorded when the Company has received consideration (i.e. advance payment) before satisfying its performance obligations. As such, customer orders are recorded as deferred revenue prior to shipment or rendering of product or services. Deferred revenues primarily relate to e-commerce orders placed, but not shipped, prior to the end of the fiscal period, as well as for subscription programs, including our various food, wine, and plant-of-the-month clubs and our Celebrations Passport® program.
Our total deferred revenue as of June 30, 2024 was $
Impairment Evaluation
The Company performs its annual assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment during its fiscal fourth quarter, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist. During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, as a result of a decline in the actual and projected revenue for the Company's PersonalizationMall tradename (indefinite-lived intangible asset), as well as a higher discount rate resulting from the higher interest rate environment, the Company determined that an impairment assessment was required for this tradename. This assessment resulted in the Company recording a non-cash impairment charge of $
The Company concluded that goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, excluding its PersonalizationMall tradename, did not require an impairment assessment. See Note 6 – Goodwill and other intangibles, net for further information.

ASU 2023-07 is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 2 – Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing the net income during the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share:

Future estimated amortization expense is as follows: remainder of fiscal 2025 - $
The Company performs its annual assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles impairment during its fiscal fourth quarter, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, as a result of a decline in the actual and projected revenue for the Company’s PersonalizationMall tradename (indefinite-lived intangible asset), as well as a higher discount rate resulting from the higher interest rate environment, the Company determined that an impairment assessment was required. The Company’s impairment test for the indefinite-lived intangible asset encompassed calculating a fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and comparing that result to its carrying value. To determine fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset, the Company used an income approach, the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to obtain the rights to use the comparable asset. Indefinite-lived intangible assets’ fair values require significant judgments in determining both the assets’ estimated cash flows as well as the appropriate discount and royalty rates applied to those cash flows to determine fair value. Based on the impairment assessment performed for the quarter ending December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $

On January 28, 2025, the Company, certain of its U.S. subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Third Amended Credit Agreement. The First Amendment amended the Third Amended Credit Agreement (the Third Amended Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) by, among other modifications, (1) revising the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” to (x) provide that extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring cash expenses or losses may be added back to Consolidated Net Income in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, (y) clarify that expenses or losses in connection with the implementation or integration of operational systems, information technology or similar upgrades are deemed to constitute extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring expenses or losses, and (z) include an additional add-back to Consolidated EBITDA for the amount of any restructuring charge, accrual, reserve (and increases to existing reserves) or expense, (2) clarifying the application of optional prepayments of Term Loans under the Existing Credit Agreement toward scheduled principal payments of such Term Loans, and (3) revising the definition of “Consolidated Fixed Charges” to clarify that applicable scheduled principal payments of indebtedness are included in Consolidated Fixed Charges only to the extent not offset by the application of prepayments of such indebtedness.
The Existing Credit Agreement requires that while any borrowings or commitments are outstanding the Company comply with certain financial covenants and affirmative covenants as well as certain negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments and make certain restricted payments. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 29, 2024. The Existing Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.
The principal of the Term Loan is payable at a rate of $
During the three months ended December 29, 2024, the Company elected to optionally pay down an incremental $
Note 11 – Fair value measurements
Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, prepaids, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Although no trading market exists, the Company believes that the carrying amount of its debt approximates fair value due to its variable nature (these are level 2 investments). The Company’s investments in non-marketable equity instruments of private companies are carried at cost and are periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment when an event or circumstances indicate that an other-than-temporary decline in value may have occurred. The Company’s remaining financial assets and liabilities are measured and recorded at fair value (see table below). The Company’s non-financial assets, such as definite lived intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at cost and are assessed for impairment when an event or circumstance indicates that an other-than-temporary decline in value may have occurred. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently, if events occur or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist, as required under the accounting standards.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the guidance are described below:
| Level 1 |
Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access. |
| Level 2 |
Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| Level 3 |
Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
The following table presents by level, within the fair value hierarchy, financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The Company has established a NQDC Plan for certain members of senior management. Deferred compensation plan assets are invested in mutual funds held in a “rabbi trust,” which is restricted for payment to participants of the NQDC Plan. Trading securities held in a rabbi trust are measured using quoted market prices at the reporting date and are included in the “Other assets” line item, with the corresponding liability included in the “Other liabilities” line item in the consolidated balance sheets. |
The Company computed the interim tax provision using an estimated annual effective rate, adjusted for discrete items. This estimate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis and may change in subsequent interim periods. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 29, 2024 was
The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establishes valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. In completing this evaluation, the Company considers available positive and negative evidence. Such evidence includes historical operating results, the existence of cumulative earnings and losses in the most recent fiscal years, taxable income in prior carryback year(s) if permitted under the tax law, the time period over which our temporary differences will reverse, the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies, and expectations for future pre-tax operating income. Estimating future taxable income is inherently uncertain and requires judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of this evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. As of December 29, 2024, and June 30, 2024, the Company had valuation allowances of approximately $
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions, and various foreign countries.

Due to nonconformity with the U.S. federal statute of limitations for assessment, certain states remain open from fiscal The Company's foreign income tax filings from fiscal are open for examination by its respective foreign tax authorities, mainly Canada and Brazil. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. At December 29, 2024, the Company has an unrecognized tax benefit, including accrued interest and penalties, of approximately $

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” ("MD&A") is intended to provide an understanding of our financial condition, change in financial condition, cash flow, liquidity, and results of operations. The following MD&A discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements that appear elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s plans, estimates and beliefs. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed or referred to in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to any differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed under the caption “Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results,” under Part I, Item 1A, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 under the heading “Risk Factors” and Part II-Other Information, Item 1A in this Form 10-Q.

Macro-economic Conditions
Overall, broader macro-economic conditions continue to impact our consumers as they continue to moderate their discretionary spending. Throughout the first half of fiscal 2025, we have seen sales challenged by a reduction in everyday or just-because gift giving. As our second quarter contains the Thanksgiving to Christmas holiday season, we anticipated sales trends to improve as our gifting business has historically proven to be more resilient during holiday periods. However, due to a more condensed holiday season with fewer shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, we anticipated consumers to begin their holiday shopping later in the season. In line with our expectations, consumer spending increased later in the season, but not to anticipated levels. Total consolidated revenues decreased 5.7% to $775.5 million and 6.7% to $1,017.6 million during the three and six months ended December 29, 2024 respectively, compared with total consolidated revenues of $822.1 million and $1,091.1 million in the same prior year periods.
Intangible Impairment
During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, as a result of a decline in the actual and projected revenue for the Company’s PersonalizationMall tradename, as well as a higher discount rate resulting from the higher interest rate environment, the Company determined that an impairment assessment was required for this tradename. This assessment resulted in the Company recording a non-cash impairment charge of $19.8 million to reduce the recorded carrying value of the PersonalizationMall tradename. See Note 6 – Goodwill and other intangibles, net in Item 1for further information.
Acquisition of Scharffen Berger
On July 1, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of certain assets of Scharffen Berger, a chocolate manufacturing company, expanding the Company's product offerings in the Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets Segment. The Company used cash on its balance sheet to fund the approximately $3.3 million purchase – See Note 3 – Acquisitions in Item 1.
Acquisition of Card Isle
On April 3, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of certain assets of Card Isle, an e-commerce greeting card company, expanding the Company’s presence in the greeting card category across all brands. The Company used cash on its balance sheet to fund the $3.6 million purchase – See Note 3 – Acquisitions in Item 1.
Company Guidance
Based on the Company's performance during the fiscal second quarter, the Company is updating its fiscal 2025 guidance as outlined below. TheCompany expects its revenue trend to improve as the fiscal year progresses, benefitting from its Relationship Innovation initiatives that have expanded the Company's offerings, broadened price points and enhanced the user experience.
As a result, for fiscal 2025 the Company now expects:
| ● |
Total revenues to decline in the mid-single digits, on a percentage basis, as compared with the prior year; |
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA to be in a range of $65 million to $75 million; and |
| ● |
Free Cash Flow to be in a range of $25 million to $35 million. |
Refer to "Definitions of non-GAAP Financial Measures" for reconciliation of non-GAAP results to applicable GAAP results.
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. See below for definitions and the reasons why we use these non-GAAP financial measures, and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are referred to as “non-GAAP”, “adjusted” or "on a comparable basis" below, as these terms are used interchangeably. Reconciliations for forward-looking figures would require unreasonable efforts at this time because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of certain components of various necessary GAAP components, including, for example, those related to compensation, tax items, amortization or others that may arise during the year, and the Company's management believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. The lack of such reconciling information should be considered when assessing the impact of such disclosures.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for the impact of stock-based compensation, Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“NQDC Plan”) Investment appreciation/depreciation, and certain items affecting period-to-period comparability.
The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted 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 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 determine its interest rate and to measure compliance with certain covenants. 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 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.
The following table presents the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Adjusted net income and adjusted or comparable net income per common share
We define adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted or comparable net income (loss) per common share as net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share adjusted for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. We believe that adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted or comparable net income (loss) per common share 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 (loss) and net income (loss) per common share, as indicators of operating performance and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
The following table presents the adjusted net income and adjusted net income per common share for the three and six months ended December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Segment contribution margin and adjusted segment contribution margin
We define segment contribution margin as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, before the allocation of corporate overhead expenses. Adjusted segment contribution margin is defined as contribution margin adjusted for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. 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 meaningful 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 segment contribution margin and adjusted segment contribution margin is that they are an incomplete measure of profitability as they do not include all operating expenses or non-operating income and expenses. Management compensates for this limitation when using this measure by looking at other GAAP measures, such as operating income and net income.
The following table presents the net revenues, gross profit, segment contribution margin, and adjusted segment contribution margin from each of the Company’s business segments, for the three and six months ended December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

(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, stock-based compensation, as well as changes in the fair value of the Company's NQDC Plan. 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.
(c) See reconciliation of the Company's net income to Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) above.
Free Cash Flow
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) 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.
The following table reconciles net cash provided by operating activities, a GAAP measure, to free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure for the six months ended December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Net revenues consist primarily of the selling price of the merchandise, service or outbound shipping charges, less discounts, returns and credits.
Net revenues decreased 5.7% and 6.7% during the three and six months ended December 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year, due to lower e-commerce order volume across the Company's three segments, reflecting a continuation of the trends that the Company had experienced throughout the prior fiscal year, as consumer discretionary income remains pressured, and consumers continue to moderate their spending. In addition, the implementation of a new order management system for our Harry & David brand within the Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets segment negatively impacted sales in the current period by approximately $20 million. The decrease was partially offset by increased wholesale demand due to increased orders from big box retailers.
The Company acquired Scharffen Berger and Card Isle on July 1, 2024 and April 3, 2024, respectively. Revenues related to these acquisitions were not significant during the three and six months ended December 29, 2024.

Revenue by sales channel:
E-commerce revenues (combined online and telephonic) decreased 8.3% and 8.2% during the three and six months ended December 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year, primarily due to the decline in demand across our three segments, as well as product mix with customers trending toward lower price point items.
During the three and six months ended December 29, 2024, the Company fulfilled approximately 7.4 million and 9.8 million orders through its e-commerce sales channel (online and telephonic sales), a decrease of 7.2% and 6.9%, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. During the three and six months ended December 29, 2024, average order value decreased 1.2% and 1.4% to $92.02 and $88.82, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The average order value decreased as a result of higher promotions due to a competitive market and product mix as the Company has introduced a wider selection of more modestly priced items to target a broader consumer base.
Other revenues are comprised of the Company’s BloomNet segment, as well as the wholesale and retail channels of its Consumer Floral & Gifts and Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets segments.
Other revenues during the three and six months ended December 29, 2024 increased 17.4% and 3.0%, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year, due to higher wholesale volumes within the Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets segment due to increased orders from big box retailers, which was partially offset by lower BloomNet revenues due to lower order volume through the network, including our 1-800-Flowers brand.
Revenue by segment:
Consumer Floral & Gifts – this segment, which includes the operations of the 1-800-Flowers.com, PersonalizationMall, Things Remembered and Alice’s Table brands, derives revenue from the sale of consumer floral products and gifts through its e-commerce sales channels (telephonic and online sales), retail stores, and royalties from its franchise operations.
Net revenues within this segment decreased 8.0% and 6.9% during the three and six months ended December 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year, due to continued macro-economic pressure and use of promotional offerings due to the competitive environment.
During the three and six months ended December 29, 2024, Consumer Floral & Gifts orders through its e-commerce sales channel (online and telephonic sales) decreased 7.3% and 5.8%, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. In addition, the average order value decreased 0.8% and 1.1%, respectively, as a result of product mix trending towards lower price point items and higher promotions due to the competitive market.
BloomNet - revenues in this segment are derived from membership fees, as well as product and service offerings.
Net revenues decreased 16.2% and 18.2% during the three and six months ended December 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. The net revenue decline was primarily due to lower service revenues, which were attributable to a decline in order volume processed through the network.
Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets - this segment includes the operations of Harry & David, Wolferman’s, Cheryl’s Cookies, The Popcorn Factory, 1-800-Baskets/DesignPac, Shari’s Berries, Vital Choice, and since July 1, 2024, Scharffen Berger. Revenue is derived from the sale of gourmet fruits, cookies, baked gifts, premium chocolates and confections, gourmet popcorn, gift baskets, dipped berries, prime steaks, chops, and fish, through the Company’s e-commerce sales channels (telephonic and online sales) and company-owned and operated retail stores under the Harry & David and Cheryl’s Cookies brand names, as well as wholesale operations.
Net revenues within this segmentdecreased4.0% and 5.6% during the three and six months ended December 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year, as a result of lower e-commerce revenues, which were impacted by lower demand, partially offset by increased wholesale volume as big box retailers increased orders in the current year. In addition, the implementation of a new order management system for our Harry & David brand negatively impacted sales in the current period by approximately $20 million.
During the three and six months ended December 29, 2024, Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets orders through its e-commerce sales channel (online and telephonic sales) decreased 7.0% and 8.0%, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. In addition, the average order value decreased 1.5% and 1.2%, respectively, as a result of product mix trending towards lower price point items and the higher promotions due to the competitive market.

Gross profit consists of net revenues less cost of revenues, which is comprised primarily of florist fulfillment costs (fees paid directly to florists), the cost of floral and non-floral merchandise sold from inventory or through third parties, and associated costs, including inbound and outbound shipping charges. Additionally, cost of revenues includes labor and facility costs related to direct-to-consumer and wholesale production operations, as well as payments made to sending florists related to order volume referred through the Company’s BloomNet network.
Gross profit decreased 5.7% and 6.5% during the three and six months ended December 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year, due to lower revenues as noted above.
During the three months ended December 29, 2024, the gross profit percentage was in-line with the same period of the prior year. During the six months ended December 29, 2024, the gross profit percentage increased 20 basis points compared to the same period of the prior year, which was driven by increased gross profit percentage in the BloomNet and Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets segments.
Gross profit by segment follows:
Consumer Floral & Gifts segment - Gross profit decreased by 10.0% and 8.0% during the three and six months ended December 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year, due to the impact of the lower revenues noted above, as well as the unfavorable gross profit percentage primarily attributable to higher cost of merchandise.
BloomNet segment - Gross profit decreased by 10.4% and 15.7% during the three and six months ended December 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year, due to the decrease in revenues noted above, partially offset by an increase in the gross profit percentage. Gross profit percentage increased in comparison to the same periods of the prior year due to lower florist rebates, which was driven by lower florist-to-florist volume.
Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets segment - Gross profit decreased by 3.3% and 4.5% during the three and six months ended December 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year, due to the decrease in revenue noted above, partially offset by a slightly improved gross profit percentage. Gross profit percentage increased 30 basis points and 50 basis points during the three and six months ended December 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increased gross profit percentage was attributable to lower delivery and shipping costs and labor efficiencies, which was partially offset by a higher cost of merchandise and incremental costs associated with the implementation of a new order management system for our Harry & David Brand.

Marketing and sales expense decreased 0.8% and 0.7% during the three and six months ended December 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year, mainly related to decreased labor costs, which was partially offset by increased advertising costs due to a competitive environment.

Other income, net consists primarily of investment losses (gains) on the Company’s NQDC Plan investments (for which the offsetting expense was recorded in the general and administration expense above).
Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $23.5 million and $9.1 million, during the three and six months ended December 29, 2024, respectively compared to an income tax expense of $26.5 million and $16.2 million, during the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 29, 2024 was 26.7% and 23.2%, respectively, compared to 29.6% and 33.8% in the same respective periods of the prior year. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 29, 2024 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes, tax deficiencies (shortfalls) from stock-based compensation and increases in valuation allowances, partially offset by tax credits. The Company’s effective tax rate for three and six months ended December 31, 2023 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by tax credits. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, was further impacted by the intangible impairment charge, which reduced the amount of income reflected in the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and borrowings
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations, and borrowings available under the Company’s credit agreement (see Note 10 – Long-term debt, net in Item 1 for details). At December 29, 2024, the Company had working capital of $167.3 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $247.2 million, compared to working capital of $157.9 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $159.4 million, at June 30, 2024.
Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, and its continued expansion into non-floral products, the Thanksgiving through Christmas holiday season, which falls within the Company’s second fiscal quarter, is expected to generate over 40% of the Company’s annual revenues, and all of its earnings. Due to the number of major floral gifting occasions, including Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Administrative Professionals Week, revenues also have historically risen during the Company’s fiscal third and fourth quarters in comparison to its fiscal first quarter.
During the first two quarters of fiscal 2025, the Company borrowed under its revolving credit agreement in order to fund pre-holiday manufacturing and inventory procurement requirements, with borrowings peaking at $110.0 million in November 2024. Cash generated from operations during the Christmas holiday shopping season enabled the Company to repay the borrowings under the Revolver in December 2024. Based on current projected cash flows, the Company believes that the available cash balances will be sufficient to provide for the Company's operating needs through the remainder of fiscal 2025, at which time the Company would again expect to borrow against its Revolver to fund pre-holiday manufacturing and inventory purchases. The Company had no amounts outstanding under the Revolver as of December 29, 2024. In addition, during the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company made a payment of $27.5 million on its Term Loan, which includes a $25.0 million prepayment.
While we believe that our sources of funding will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating cash needs for at least the next twelve months, any projections of future cash needs and cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty. We continually evaluate, and will, from time to time, consider the acquisition of, or investment in, complementary businesses, products, services, capital infrastructure, and technologies, which might affect our liquidity requirements or cause us to require additional financing.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities of $151.3 million, for the six months ended December 29, 2024, was primarily attributable to the Company’s net income during the period, adjusted by non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, combined with seasonal changes in net working capital, including increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and trade receivables and a decrease in inventory.
Net cash used in investing activities of $26.0 million, for the six months ended December 29, 2024, was attributable to capital expenditures primarily related to the Company's technology and automation initiatives, and the acquisition of Scharffen Berger as noted above.
Net cash used in financing activities of $37.5 million, for the six months ended December 29, 2024, related primarily to net repayment of bank borrowings under the Company's working capital line of credit, as well as payments of $30.0 million on the Company's Term Loan, which includes a $25.0 million prepayment, and the repurchase of common stock of $7.7 million.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow was positive $128.3 million for the six months ended December 29, 2024, compared with free cash flow of positive $195.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $66.7 million primarily driven by a decrease in cash flows from operations primarily driven by lower net income, adjusted for non-cash items, as well as timing of changes in working capital. Refer to "Definitions of non-GAAP Financial Measures" for reconciliation of non-GAAP results to applicable GAAP results.

Critical Accounting Estimates
As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, and management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company’s most critical accounting policies relate to goodwill, other intangible assets and income taxes. There have been no significant changes to the assumptions and estimates related to the Company’s critical accounting policies since June 30, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 - Accounting Policies in Item 1 for details regarding the impact of accounting standards that were recently issued on our consolidated financial statements.
Forward Looking Information and Factors that May Affect Future Results
Our disclosure and analysis in this report contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements represent the Company’s current expectations or beliefs concerning future events and can generally be identified by the use of statements that include words such as “estimate,” “expects,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “foresee,” “forecast,” “likely,” “will,” "should," “goal,” “target” or similar words or phrases. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, including:
| ● |
the Company’s ability: |
| o |
to achieve revenue and profitability; |
|
| o |
to leverage its operating platform and reduce operating expenses; |
|
| o |
to manage the seasonality of its business; |
|
| o |
to cost effectively acquire and retain customers; |
|
| o |
to successfully integrate acquired businesses and assets; |
|
| o |
to reduce working capital requirements and capital expenditures; |
|
| o |
to mitigate the impact of supply chain cost and capacity constraints; |
|
| o |
to compete against existing and new competitors; |
|
| o |
to manage expenses associated with sales and marketing and necessary general and administrative and technology investments; |
|
| o |
to address the effects of changes in accounting policies, practices, or assumptions, including changes that could potentially require future impairment charges; |
|
| o | to achieve its guidance for the full fiscal year; | |
| o | to successfully execute its strategic initiatives; and | |
| o | to reduce promotional activities and achieve more efficient marketing programs. |
| ● |
the outcome of contingencies, including legal proceedings in the normal course of business; and |
| ● |
general consumer sentiment and economic conditions that may affect, among other things, the levels of discretionary customer purchases of the Company’s products and the costs of shipping and labor. |
We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties, and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated, or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 listed various important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historic results. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers can find them in Part I, Item 1A, of that filing under the heading “Cautionary Statements Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995”. We incorporate that section of that Form 10-K in this filing and investors should refer to it. In addition, please refer to any additional risk factors in Part II, Item 1A in this Form 10-Q.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risk from the effect of interest rate changes.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s investment of available cash balances and its long-term debt. The Company generally invests its cash and cash equivalents in investment grade corporate and U.S. government securities. Borrowings under the Company’s credit facility bear interest at a variable rate, plus an applicable margin, and therefore expose the Company to market risk for changes in interest rates. The effect of a 50 basis point increase in current interest rates on the Company’s interest expense would be approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million during the three and six months ended December 29, 2024, respectively.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of December 29, 2024. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 29, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the Company’s evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during the quarter ended December 29, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, as specified above. Our management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives will be met.
Litigation
There are various claims, lawsuits, and pending actions against the Company and its subsidiaries incident to the operations of its businesses. It is the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel, that the final resolution of such claims, lawsuits and pending actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
There were no material changes to the Company’s risk factors as discussed in Part 1, Item 1A-Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company has a stock repurchase plan through which purchases can be made from time to time in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions, subject to general market conditions. The repurchase program is financed utilizing available cash. On April 22, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an increase to its stock repurchase plan of up to $40.0 million. In addition, on February 3, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an increase to its stock repurchase plan of up to $40.0 million. As of December 29, 2024, $13.9 million remained authorized under the plan.
