- Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations increased 3.6 percent to $31.8 million compared with $30.7 million in the prior year period
- Net Income and EPS from continuing operations increased 12.0 percent and 9.0 percent, to $16.0 million and $0.24 per diluted share, respectively, compared with adjusted net income from continuing operations of $14.3 million and EPS of $0.22 per diluted share in the prior year period.
CARLE PLACE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 31, 2013--1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLWS), the world’s leading florist and gift shop, today reported revenues from continuing operations of $253.0 million for its fiscal 2013 second quarter ended December 30, 2012, compared with revenues from continuing operations of $239.8 million in the prior year period. The Company said the 5.5 percent increase, or $13.2 million, reflected growth across all three of its business segments, driven primarily by its Gourmet Food and Gift Baskets segment, which grew 8.9 percent, or $11.6 million, to $142.7 million compared with $131.1 million in the prior year period.
Gross profit margin for the quarter was 41.3 percent compared with 41.8 percent in the prior year period, primarily reflecting product mix associated with strong wholesale gift basket growth in the Company’s Gourmet Food and Gift Baskets segment. Operating expenses as a percent of revenue improved 60 basis points to 31.0 percent compared with 31.6 percent in the prior year period. The improved operating expense ratio primarily reflects the increased revenues for the quarter as well as the Company’s continued focus on improving leverage across its business platform.
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the quarter increased 3.6 percent to $31.8 million compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $30.7 million in the prior year period. Net income from continuing operations was $16.0 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income from continuing operations of $14.3 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
Jim McCann, CEO of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, said, “During the fiscal second quarter we achieved top and bottom line growth in all three of our business segments, continuing a trend that we have seen for two years now. This was achieved despite a combination of the significant headwinds that characterized the quarter, including the impacts of Superstorm Sandy on deliveries and customer demand and the effects of weakening consumer confidence, particularly in December, stemming from worries over the “fiscal cliff.”
“Despite these issues, we achieved revenue growth of 5.5 percent, driven primarily by our Gourmet Food and Gift Basket segment. In this area, we saw a rebound, both top and bottom-line, in our wholesale gift baskets business, after several years of declines in this area, as well as strong ecommerce growth in our Cheryl’s bakery gifts, Fannie May Fine Chocolates and The Popcorn Factory brands, somewhat offset by lower results in our Fannie May retail and wholesale operations. In our 1-800-FLOWERS.COM consumer floral and BloomNet wire service businesses, we achieved enhanced bottom-line contributions on modest revenue growth reflecting our continued focus on enhanced merchandising and marketing programs to drive higher gross profit margins and effective management of operating expenses.”
During the fiscal second quarter, the Company attracted 612,000 new customers. Approximately 1.6 million customers placed orders during the quarter, of whom 61 percent were repeat customers. This reflects the Company’s successful efforts to engage with its customers and deepen its relationships as their trusted Florist and Gift Shop for all of their celebratory occasions.
McCann also noted that the company has continued to strengthen its balance sheet, finishing the second quarter with $27.0 million in cash and total debt of approximately $21.8 million, resulting in a net positive cash position which the Company expects to build upon during the second half of fiscal 2013. “Our cash position at the end of the second quarter also reflects the more than $5 million we have spent buying back our stock since the start of the fiscal year,” said McCann. “The strength of our balance sheet and the increasing cash flows we are generating, provide us with significant flexibility to grow our business and build shareholder value. We view our stock repurchase program as one component of our strategy for cash uses and an effective way of providing value for our shareholders. As such, we expect to continue to be in the market, buying back shares, during the second half of the fiscal year.”
McCann noted that the second half of the Company’s fiscal year, beginning in January, is more floral in nature due to the Valentine, Easter and Mother’s Day holidays as well as other spring gifting occasions. “During our second half, we expect to achieve year-over-year growth in revenues, gross margin and contribution margin driven primarily by our core 1-800-FLOWERS.COM Consumer Floral and BloomNet Wire Services businesses.” McCann added that the majority of this growth would likely occur during its fiscal third quarter, reflecting the shift of the Easter holiday into the period versus the prior year when it fell in the Company’s fiscal fourth quarter.
“Based on the deepening relationships we have with our customers who continue to embrace our truly original product offerings – such as our hit “A-Dog-Able®” floral gift line and our new FM Berries® (incredible, fresh strawberries dipped in real Fannie May® chocolate), we believe we are well positioned to build on the positive trends we have been seeing in our business for several years now and build long-term shareholder value,” he said.
SEGMENT RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS:
The Company provides 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:
- 1-800-FLOWERS.COM Consumer Floral: During the fiscal 2013 second quarter, revenues in this segment grew 1.0 percent to $91.8 million compared with $91.0 million in the prior year period. This segment was the most impacted of the Company’s businesses by Superstorm Sandy which affected deliveries as well as customer ordering capabilities throughout the Northeast. Revenue growth in this segment was also affected by softer demand reflecting declines in the closely followed Consumer Confidence Index, particularly in December, stemming from worries over the “fiscal cliff.” Gross profit margin for the fiscal second quarter increased 20 basis points to 39.2 percent compared with 39.0 percent in last year’s second quarter. Segment contribution margin increased 3.0 percent, to $10.3 million compared with $10.0 million in the prior year period. (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 2.5 percent to $18.7 million compared with $18.3 million in the prior year period, also reflecting the impact of Superstorm Sandy on wholesale product orders from florists. Gross margin for the quarter increased 310 basis points to 52.3 percent compared with 49.2 percent in the prior year period, primarily reflecting product and service mix. Segment contribution margin increased 19.2 percent to $6.0 million compared with $5.1 million in the prior year period.
- Gourmet Food and Gift Baskets: Revenues increased 8.9 percent to $142.7 million compared with $131.1 million in the prior year period. This was driven primarily by a rebound in wholesale gift baskets sales into the Mass channel, after several years of declines in this area. Ecommerce revenues also showed strong growth, particularly in the Company’s Cheryl’s bakery gifts, Fannie May Fine Chocolates and The Popcorn Factory brands. This was somewhat offset by lower sales in Fannie May retail and wholesale channels, reflecting both the economic headwinds and weather impacts during the quarter. Gross margin was 41.0 percent compared with 42.4 percent, primarily reflecting product mix as well as operational issues associated with the relocation of a warehouse and distribution facility prior to the holiday season. Segment contribution margin increased 1.9 percent to $26.9 million compared with $26.4 million in the prior year period excluding the $3.8 million gain on the sale of 17 Fannie May stores to a new franchisee. This reflects the solid revenue growth during the quarter somewhat offset by the aforementioned lower gross margin percentage and higher costs associated with operational issues.
Company Guidance:
The Company reiterated its top- and bottom-line guidance for fiscal 2013, saying it continues to expect to achieve revenue growth across all three of its business segments with consolidated revenue growth for the year anticipated to be in the mid-single-digit range. Also, based on anticipated continued improvements in gross profit margin and operating leverage, the Company expects to achieve double-digit, year-over-year increases in EBITDA and EPS as well as Free Cash Flow in excess of $20 million.
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 and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations 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 segments 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. |
