DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, ACCOUNTING POLICIES, AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, ACCOUNTING POLICIES, AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Description of Business FTD Companies, Inc.

The Company provides floral, specialty foods, gift and related products and services to consumers, retail florists, and other retail locations and companies in need of floral and gifting solutions. The business uses the highly recognized FTD ® and Interflora ® brands, both supported by the iconic Mercury Man ® logo.

The Company’s diversified portfolio of brands also includes ProFlowers ® , ProPlants ® , Shari’s Berries ® , Personal Creations ® , RedEnvelope ® , Flying Flowers ® , Ink Cards ™ , Postagram ™ , Gifts.com ™ , and BloomThat ™ . While floral arrangements and plants are its primary offerings, the Company also markets and sells gift items, including gourmet-dipped berries and other sweets, personalized gifts, gift baskets, wine and champagne, and jewelry. The principal operating subsidiaries of FTD Companies, Inc. are Florists’ Transworld Delivery, Inc., FTD.COM Inc. (“FTD.com”), Interflora British Unit (“Interflora”), and Provide Commerce, Inc. (“Provide Commerce”). The operations of the Company include those of its subsidiary, Interflora, Inc., of which one-third is owned by a third party. The Company’s corporate headquarters is located in Downers Grove, Illinois. The Company also maintains offices in San Diego and San Francisco, California; Woodridge, Illinois; Centerbrook, Connecticut; Sleaford, England; Quebec, Canada; and Hyderabad, India; and distribution centers in various locations throughout the U.S. Basis of Presentation The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make accounting policy elections, estimates and assumptions that affect a number of reported amounts and related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that it believes are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 . Going Concern The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. Based on the Company’s 2018 year-to-date results of operations and outlook for 2018, as the Company works to implement its strategic plan announced in January 2018, the Company currently anticipates that its Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) and other sources of earnings or adjustments used to calculate Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA under its credit agreement entered into in 2014 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) will result in (1) the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, exceeding the maximum permitted consolidated net leverage ratio during 2018, and (2) the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, falling below the minimum requirement during 2018. In addition, the inclusion of a going concern uncertainty explanatory paragraph in the audit opinion on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 constitutes an event of default under the Credit Agreement. On March 30, 2018, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement with its lenders, which includes an agreement by the lenders to forbear from exercising remedies available to them until May 31, 2018 with respect to defaults caused by (1) the inclusion of a going concern uncertainty explanatory paragraph in the audit opinion of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and (2) potential breach of the consolidated net leverage ratio covenant for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. If the Company is unable to obtain waivers or amendments from its lenders beyond the forbearance period, the lenders could exercise remedies under the Credit Agreement and the debt owed under the Credit Agreement could be accelerated. The Company does not expect that it could repay all of its outstanding indebtedness if the repayment of such indebtedness was accelerated. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company did not comply with the net leverage ratio covenant for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company entering into an amendment to its current financing which has revised covenants or obtaining financing to replace the current facility, as well as generating profitable operating results, continuing to meet its obligations, and continuing to repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The Company has evaluated its plans to alleviate this doubt, which will include obtaining amended terms from its current lenders to allow for sufficient flexibility in the financial covenants after giving consideration to the Company’s current operations and strategic plans, or refinancing its current debt. Negotiations with our lenders may require the Company to raise additional capital and/or pursue the sale of non-core assets to reduce existing debt. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its plans to refinance or to obtain alternative financing on acceptable terms, when required or if at all. If such plans are not realized, the Company may be forced to limit its business activities or be unable to continue as a going concern, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Accounting Policies With the exception of the Company’s revenue recognition policy as noted below, refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for a discussion of the Company’s accounting policies, as updated below for recently adopted accounting standards. Revenue Recognition The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. This method requires that the cumulative effect of the initial application is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of the Company’s retained earnings at January 1, 2018. However, the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s revenue recognition. As such, the Company did not record an adjustment to its beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. The Company recognizes revenue from short-term contracts for the sale of various products and services to its customers, which include consumers, floral network members, and wholesale customers. Sales to consumers are generated via the Company’s websites, mobile sites, or over the telephone with payment made either at the time the order is placed or upon shipment. Product revenues from these short-term contracts are single performance obligations and are considered complete upon delivery to the recipient. Amounts collected from customers upon placement of an order are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized upon delivery of the product. Products revenues, less discounts and refunds, and the related cost of revenues are recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the recipient, which is generally upon delivery. Product sales are not refundable other than as related to customer service issues. Shipping and service fees charged to customers are recognized at the time the related products revenues are recognized and are included in products revenues. Shipping and delivery costs are included in cost of revenues. Sales taxes are collected from customers and remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities and are not reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations as revenues. The Company generally recognizes revenues for sales to consumers on a gross basis because the Company controls the goods before they are transferred to the recipient as the Company (i) bears primary responsibility for fulfilling the promise to the customer; (ii) bears inventory risk before and/or after the good or service is transferred to the customer; and (iii) has discretion in establishing the price for the sale of good or service to the customer. 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. Membership and other subscription-based fees are recognized monthly as earned, on a month-to-month basis. Each service offered by the Company is separate and distinct from other services and represents an individual performance obligation. The Company also sells point-of-sale systems and related technology services to its floral network members and recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606. For hardware sales that include software, revenues are recognized when delivery, installation and customer acceptance have all occurred. The transaction price for point-of-sale systems is based on the equipment and the software modules ordered by the customer and include installation and training for the system. The sale of the system is considered a single performance obligation since the installation and training are a significant part of the sale in order for the floral network member to access the clearinghouse to send and receive floral orders. The Company recognizes revenues on hardware which is sold without software at the time of delivery. Probability of collection for both products and services revenue is assessed based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer. If it is determined that collectability is not reasonably assured, revenues are not recognized until collectability becomes reasonably assured. The Company incurs contract costs that are incremental costs incurred for obtaining a contract. These contract costs are short-term (less than a year) and are expensed as incurred based on the practical expedient provided in ASC 606. As such, the Company does not capitalize costs incurred for obtaining a contract. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 , which provides guidance from the SEC allowing for the recognition of provisional amounts in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 as a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) that was signed into law in December 2017. The guidance allows for a measurement period of up to one year from the enactment date to finalize the accounting related to the TCJA. The Company has applied the guidance in this update in its financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and will finalize and record any adjustments related to the TCJA within the one year measurement period. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, and December 2016 within ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, and ASU 2016-20, respectively (collectively, “Topic 606”). Topic 606 supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of Topic 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The Company adopted the guidance under this topic as of January 1, 2018 with no material impact to its consolidated financial statements. See Accounting Policies — Revenue Recognition above. The disclosures required by ASC 606 have been included in Note 2—Segment Information. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10). The updated guidance enhances the reporting model for financial instruments, and includes amendments to address aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. The Company adopted the guidance under this topic as of January 1, 2018 with no impact to its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update was issued to address the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. The Company adopted the guidance under this topic as of January 1, 2018 with no impact to its consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting . This update was issued to provide clarity and reduce diversity in practice as well as cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718 to the modification of terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments provide guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards would require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The Company adopted the guidance under this topic as of January 1, 2018 with no impact to its consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . This update requires the recognition of certain lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet as well as the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU require the recognition and measurement of leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients which may be elected by the Company. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) . This update seeks to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables, and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The amendments require an entity to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects current expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendments will be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which guidance is effective, which is a modified-retrospective approach. The Company does not anticipate that this update will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities . This update seeks to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The amendments in this update better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and presentation of hedge results. For cash flow and net investment hedges as of the adoption date, this ASU requires a modified retrospective approach. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning after December 31, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the timing of adoption and the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . This update allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the TCJA. This update also requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements. |
