CARLE PLACE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 8, 2007--1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLWS), the world's leading florist and a provider of specialty gifts for all occasions, today reported record revenues of $231.8 million for its fiscal fourth quarter ended July 1, 2007. This represented an increase of 9.8 percent or $20.7 million, compared with revenues of $211.1 million in the prior-year period. This growth was driven by the Company's key business categories - Consumer Floral, BloomNet Wire Service and Gourmet Food and Gift Baskets - which more than offset lower year-over-year sales in its Home and Children's Gifts Category reflecting management's decision to scale back marketing in this category. During the fiscal fourth quarter, the Company improved its gross margin significantly, increasing 270 basis points to 42.7 percent compared with 40 percent in last year's fiscal fourth quarter. The Company attributed the improved gross margin to a combination of factors, including product mix, enhanced sourcing and pricing initiatives. Operating expense ratio (excluding depreciation and amortization) for the quarter improved 130 basis points to 35.3 percent compared with 36.6 percent in the prior year period. This is the result of the continued success of the Company's business process improvement initiatives. Combined with the strong revenue growth, these factors resulted in EBITDA* for the quarter of $17.1 million, representing an improvement of 138 percent or $9.9 million compared with $7.2 million in the prior year period. Net income for the quarter increased 545.2 percent, or $5.5 million, to $6.6 million, or $0.10 per share, compared with $1.0 million, or $0.02 per share, in the prior year period. Pro forma net income* was $7.4 million, or $0.11 per share, compared with $2.0 million, or $0.03 per share, in the prior year period. (*A reconciliation of EBITDA and pro forma net income and EPS to net income and net income per common share is included as part of the attached tables.) Fiscal 2007 Full-Year Results Total revenues for fiscal 2007 reached a record $912.6 million representing growth of 16.7 percent or $130.9 million compared with $781.7 million in fiscal 2006. For the full fiscal year, the Company improved its gross margin 130 basis points to 43 percent compared with 41.7 percent in fiscal 2006. Operating expense ratio (excluding depreciation and amortization) for the year improved 160 basis points to 37.2 percent compared with 38.8 percent in the prior year. This reflects the combination of strong revenue growth as well as the Company's focus on leveraging its platform to enhance operating efficiencies across all of its brands. Combined with the strong revenue growth, these factors resulted in EBITDA* growth for the year of 137.2 percent, or $30.6 million, to $52.8 million compared with $22.3 million in the prior year. Net income for the full year increased 437.1 percent, or $13.9 million, to $17.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared with $3.2 million, or $0.05 per share, in fiscal 2006. Pro forma net income* was $20.4 million, or $0.31 per share, compared with $6.4 million or $0.10 per share, in fiscal 2006. (*A reconciliation of EBITDA and pro forma net income and EPS to net income and net income per common share is included as part of the attached tables.) Jim McCann, CEO of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, said, "We are very pleased with our results for both the fourth quarter and the full year. In particular, our strong growth in EBITDA and EPS illustrates our stated commitment to achieving solid revenue growth while concurrently improving gross profit margin and leveraging our platform to drive operating efficiencies. Importantly, this was achieved despite the weaker performance of our Home and Children's Gift category during the year. In this area we have made a number of significant changes - particularly in creative, marketing and merchandising - that are beginning to provide positive results. As we've stated in the past, we will continue to evaluate all of our strategic options for this business." McCann noted that the positive top and bottom line performance trends in the Company's key business categories - Consumer Floral, BloomNet Wire Service and Gourmet Food and Gift Baskets - all continued during the fiscal fourth quarter. "In our Consumer Floral business, our solid growth on the largest base of business in the industry enables us to extend our market leadership position. We believe this is the result of our focus on customer-centric marketing and innovative merchandising programs as well as the strength of the 1-800-FLOWERS.COM brand which enables us to cost-effectively attract a significant number of new customers while concurrently deepening our relationship with our existing customer base." Also during the fourth quarter, McCann noted that the Company's BloomNet Wire Service continued to gain market share. "BloomNet has begun to capture an increasing share of the order volume sent between florists in addition to increasing penetration of our expanded suite of products and services designed to help our florists grow their businesses. These include our recently introduced Floral Selection Guide, web hosting service and technology platform for store management which are quickly gaining acceptance among our florists," said McCann. "In our Gourmet Food and Gift Baskets business, the Fannie May Confections business, which we acquired more than a year ago, produced strong results. Combined with our portfolio of great food gift brands, including Cheryl & Co., The Popcorn Factory and 1-800-BASKETS.COM, this category is now on a run rate to exceed $200 million in revenues in our current fiscal year, making us a leading player in this fast growing business. In this area, we anticipate continued strong growth as well as further opportunities to add new food gift brands through our targeted acquisition efforts," said McCann. In terms of its key customer metrics, the Company said more than 2.1 million e-commerce customers placed orders during the fiscal fourth quarter of which 59.8 percent were repeat customers. During the period, the Company cost effectively attracted more than 850,000 new customers. For the full fiscal year, the Company said that more than 6.6 million e-commerce customers placed orders with repeat customers representing 47.7 percent of the total. During the year, the Company cost effectively attracted approximately 3.5 million new e-commerce customers. "We believe these strong customer metrics illustrate our ability to leverage our unique collection of assets across all of our business categories and brands, including our database of more than 25 million customers, our floral-category brand leadership and our extensive online and offline marketing programs," noted McCann.

COMPANY GUIDANCE: -- For fiscal 2008, The Company anticipates continued strong growth in its key business categories - Consumer Floral, BloomNet Wire Service and Gourmet Food and Gift Baskets, partially offset by anticipated flat growth in its Home and Children's Category. As a result, the Company anticipates organic revenue growth for the year in a range of 7-to-9 percent. -- Through a combination of sourcing, product mix and ongoing business process improvement initiatives, the Company anticipates further margin and expense ratio improvements during fiscal 2008. Combined with the anticipated revenue growth, the Company expects this to result in EBITDA growth in a range of 20-to-25 percent and EPS growth of 30-to-35 percent for fiscal 2008 compared with fiscal 2007. Longer term, the Company anticipates similar top and bottom-line growth rates. -- In terms of seasonality for fiscal 2008, the Company anticipates that its quarterly revenues will be in the following ranges: -- Q1 = 14-to-16 percent of total revenues -- Q2 = 35-to-37 percent of total revenues -- Q3 = 24-to-26 percent of total revenues (Note: the Easter holiday will occur during the Company's fiscal 2008 third quarter compared with Fiscal 2007 when the holiday occurred during the Company's fourth quarter.) -- Q4 = 24-to-26 percent of total revenues Definitions: Pro Forma net income and EPS: To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company has presented pro forma net income and EPS. The Company defines pro forma net income and EPS as net income and net income per common share excluding stock-based compensation expense, net of the related tax effect, as calculated under FAS No. 123R. The Company believes pro forma net income and EPS provides a meaningful measure of year-to-year period comparative performance; however, its use and corresponding per share results do not lessen the importance of net income or net income per common share. EBITDA: Net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company presents EBITDA 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 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 (with additional adjustments) to measure compliance with covenants such as interest coverage and debt incurrence. EBITDA is also used by the Company to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. EBITDA has 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.

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 category. 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Subsidiaries Selected Financial Information Appendix A - Reconciliations of Historical Information (In thousands) (unaudited) Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA: Three Months Ended Year Ended ------------------ --------------- July 1, July 2, July 1, July 2, 2007 2006 2007 2006 --------- -------- ------- ------- Net income $6,562 $1,017 $17,118 $3,187 Add: Interest expense 1,586 1,114 7,390 1,407 Depreciation and amortization 4,812 4,555 17,837 15,765 Income tax expense 4,732 928 11,891 3,181 Less: Interest income 587 430 1,381 1,260 Other income (expense) 20 6 25 6 --------- -------- ------- ------- EBITDA $17,085 $7,178 $52,830 $22,274 ========= ======== ======= ======= Reconciliation of Net Income and Net Income Per Common Share to Pro Forma Net Income and Net Income Per Common Share: Three Months Ended Year Ended ------------------ --------------- July 1, July 2, July 1, July 2, 2007 2006 2007 2006 --------- -------- ------- ------- Net income $6,562 $1,017 $17,118 $3,187 Add: Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax 872 951 3,247 3,216 --------- -------- ------- ------- Income before stock-based compensation expense $7,434 $1,968 $20,365 $6,403 ========= ======== ======= ======= Net income per common share Basic $0.10 $0.02 $0.27 $0.05 Diluted $0.10 $0.02 $0.26 $0.05 Add: Stock-based compensation expense, per basic and diluted common share $0.01 $0.01 $0.05 $0.05 --------- -------- ------- ------- Net income per common share before stock-based compensation expense Basic $0.11 $0.03 $0.32 $0.10 ========= ======== ======= ======= Diluted $0.11 $0.03 $0.31 $0.10 ========= ======== ======= ======= CONTACT: 1-800-FLOWERS.COM Inc.
