Amended credit facility provides additional financial flexibility, including retaining a portion of asset sale proceeds for reinvestment and supporting a capital raising process. Achieved original $50 million cost savings target ahead of schedule and identified an additional $15-$20 million in savings to be executed in fiscal 2027. Third-party marketplace relationships (Amazon, DoorDash, Instacart) are growing rapidly with positive marketing contribution margin and minimal cannibalization. BloomNet segment grew 1.9% in Q4, driven by local marketplace apps and improved florist fulfillment, serving as a leading indicator for the broader business. Strategic initiatives to modernize digital experience, marketing capabilities, and loyalty program are underway, with multi-touch attribution and AI-powered search expected to improve conversion and customer lifetime value. Consolidated Q4 revenue declined 12.9% to $293.1 million, with full-year revenue down 10.8% to $1.5 billion. Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2026 fell to $2.9 million from $29.2 million in the prior year, and Q4 adjusted EBITDA loss widened to $31 million. Gross margin contracted due to sales deleveraging, higher commodity costs (especially cocoa), and inventory reserves, partially offset by tariff refunds. Fiscal 2027 guidance expects mid-single-digit revenue decline and adjusted EBITDA of only $10-$15 million, including $12 million of incremental variable compensation expense. The company is evaluating capital raising and potential divestitures amid a challenging consumer discretionary spending environment, with no assurance of successful outcomes. Q: You are guiding $10 million to $15 million in adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2027. Can you give us a bridge to that number, particularly regarding consulting fees, cost savings, gross margin improvement, and marketing efficiencies?A: James McCann, Executive Chairman: Starting from the $2.9 million of reported adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2026, we expect to benefit from approximately $50 million of run-rate cost savings in fiscal 2027, with consulting costs fully behind us. However, those savings are partially offset by the expected mid-single-digit revenue decline flowing through gross margin, continued investments in marketing, the MarTech stack, and digital customer experience, plus approximately $12 million of incremental variable compensation compared to last year. That bridge gets us from $2.9 million to the $10 million to $15 million range. Q: Can you discuss the credit facility amendment and how investors should view it? Is it just for operating flexibility, or does it reflect changed expectations for liquidity or operating performance?A: James McCann, Executive Chairman: The bank amendment, potential asset sales, and capital raise evaluation are all interconnected parts of our broader effort to strengthen the company's financial position and support our transformation. The amendment provides additional covenant flexibility and lets us deploy a portion of any potential asset sale proceeds back into growth initiatives. The non-strategic asset sales help simplify the business and generate liquidity, while the capital raise evaluation with Guggenheim Securities will determine whether incremental capital can further enhance our ability to execute the transformation and support future growth. Q: How did Mother's Day perform versus expectations, and what learnings from Valentine's Day were applied? How are you shifting marketing messaging for the holiday season?A: Adolfo Villagomez, CEO: Valentine's Day was a major strategic shift where, for the first time, we favored what the customer wanted rather than what we wanted to sell. We applied those learnings to Mother's Day, and the trajectory aligned with our expectations. A key improvement was aligning the value proposition between florist-fulfilled and direct-ship channels, testing the same SKU across both channels to eliminate confusing price gaps. On 1800flowers.com, the flowers category is already growing in most weeks, though we are compensating for declines in other categories. We are now measuring incrementality and conversion, and when tests work, we roll them out across our websites. Q: What is the current mix between florist-fulfilled and direct fulfillment in the consumer floral business, and is there an optimal mix you are targeting?A: James McCann, Executive Chairman: Currently, plus 60% is florist-fulfilled, and that percentage has been increasing. There is an optimal mix, but it is really about getting the right product to customers through the best fulfillment channel. Adolfo Villagomez, CEO: We do not have a target mix in mind. We want to provide customer choice. If a customer is in Manhattan with plenty of florists, florist delivery is the best experience. But if someone is sending a gift to Big Sky, Montana, where there is no florist, direct ship is necessary. We are aligning the value propositions to get to an optimal mix driven by what the customer wants. Q: Can you comment on your efforts to improve marketing spending productivity? Are there metrics like customer acquisition cost that show progress?A: Adolfo Villagomez, CEO: In 2026, we implemented marketing contribution margin as a disciplineif a transaction is not contribution margin positive including acquisition cost, we do not spend the money. Our customer acquisition costs declined and customer lifetime value increased, but for a $1.5 billion business, we need revenue growth for operational efficiencies to kick in. We are investing in capabilities including multi-touch attribution going live across all websites in October, redesigning our loyalty program with a wallet to measure retention and incrementality, and modernizing our media team. The challenge in 2027 is to demonstrate these capabilities deliver revenue growth, with the trajectory improving as the year goes by. Q: What is the cadence of sales performance expected in fiscal 2027? Do you think the top-line can be flat or slightly up by Q4?A: James McCann, Executive Chairman: We expect the rate of revenue decline to moderate as we progress throughout 2027 as these initiatives gain traction. We do not expect improvements to be linear from quarter to quarter and are not giving specific quarterly guidance, but we do anticipate seeing improvement on the top-line throughout the year. Adolfo Villagomez, CEO: The key point is we do expect the revenue trajectory to improve. Q: Regarding potential divestitures, are you talking about brand sales or hard assets like facilities? Can you convey the profitability of each brand individually?A: James McCann, Executive Chairman: We are evaluating potential divestitures to simplify the business and optimize the capital structure, focused on non-strategic assets where ownership may not be necessary to support our long-term strategy, including situations where we could work with third-party partners in a more capital-efficient model. We are not commenting on specific divestitures but are looking at everything, both brands and hard assets. Q: Can you provide an update on your third-party distribution relationships with Amazon, DoorDash, and Instacart? Are you seeing any cannibalization of your own digital channels?A: Adolfo Villagomez, CEO: Those relationships are going really welldouble, sometimes triple digits from a very small baseand they are marketing contribution margin positive. Our marketplace team is doing a great job, and customers on those sites like our products and value proposition. Regarding cannibalization, we have found very little to non-existent. Even if it is the same individual, the mindset is differentmarketplaces like Amazon are designed to buy for yourself, while our websites are positioned for gifting to somebody else. We believe we have a premier gifting platform, and that occasion makes cannibalization minimal. Q: BloomNet was a bright spot with sales increasing slightly. What is driving that, and can you sustain modest growth?A: James McCann, Executive Chairman: The increase was about $500,000 year over year. One of the main drivers is our local marketplacesales processed through DoorDash, Instacart, and Uber Eatsplus a decent Mother's Day on the florist-to-fill front. Adolfo Villagomez, CEO: I think of BloomNet as a leading indicator. Our flowers category is growing, we are favoring the florist-deliver business because that is what the customer wants, and the third-party For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

Transitioned from a brand-centric to a function-based organization to create clear accountability across marketing, merchandising, and digital experience teams. Achieved the original $50 million two-year cost savings target within one year by improving marketing efficiency and streamlining internal operations. Prioritized revenue contribution margin over top-line growth in fiscal 2026, intentionally reducing marketing spend that did not meet incrementality or profitability thresholds. Consolidated the digital ecosystem by moving low-traffic standalone websites into categories within flagship platforms like Harry & David to leverage scale and improve efficiency. Broke down internal silos between florist-fulfilled and direct-ship teams to align assortments and eliminate confusing price gaps for identical products. Modernized the digital experience through mobile-first designs, AI-powered search, and dynamic product ranking currently being A/B tested on the Harry & David site. Revenue is expected to decline in the mid-single-digit range for fiscal 2027, with the rate of decline anticipated to moderate as strategic initiatives gain traction. Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $10 million-$15 million includes a $12 million headwind from incremental variable compensation compared to the prior year. Identified an additional $15 million-$20 million in cost-saving opportunities across COGS and OpEx to be executed in fiscal 2027, with full benefits realized in fiscal 2028. Management plans to reinvest a significant portion of cost savings into marketing technology, personalized engagement, and full-funnel customer acquisition. Strategic focus shifts to four key pillars: accelerating revenue recovery, modernizing the customer journey, increasing marketing productivity, and disciplined capital allocation. Amended credit facility to provide greater covenant relief and flexibility to retain proceeds from potential asset sales for reinvestment. Retained Guggenheim Securities to evaluate capital-raising options, including potential debt or equity financing and divestitures of non-strategic assets. Fourth quarter gross margin was impacted by sales deleveraging and higher commodity costs, partially offset by an approximately $7 million benefit from tariff refunds. Cocoa prices remain a year-over-year headwind, while management is closely monitoring fuel surcharges on outbound shipping as a potential risk factor. One stock. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here. The bridge starts with $2.9 million in reported EBITDA, adding $50 million in run-rate cost savings and the roll-off of consulting fees. These gains are offset by the mid-single-digit revenue decline, $12 million in incremental variable compensation, and planned reinvestments in marketing and technology. Sales through Amazon, DoorDash, and Instacart are growing at double to triple digits and are marketing contribution margin positive. Management reported minimal cannibalization because third-party platforms cater to 'buy-for-self' mindsets, while the core site remains a premier gifting destination. The company is moving away from 'last-touch' attribution, which overvalued Google clicks, toward a multi-touch attribution model launching in October. Management admitted they likely left some transactions on the table in 2026 by 'putting the brakes' on spending to ensure every dollar was contribution margin positive. Evaluation focuses on non-strategic assets where ownership is not essential to the long-term transformation strategy. The goal is to simplify the business and move toward a more capital-efficient model by potentially working with third-party partners for certain functions.

E-commerce florist and gift retailer 1-800-FLOWERS (NASDAQ:FLWS) met Wall Street’s revenue expectations in Q2 CY2026, but sales fell by 12.9% year on year to $293.1 million. Its non-GAAP loss of $0.80 per share was 11.6% below analysts’ consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy 1-800-FLOWERS? Find out in our full research report. Revenue: $293.1 million vs analyst estimates of $293.6 million (12.9% year-on-year decline, in line) Adjusted EPS: -$0.80 vs analyst expectations of -$0.72 (11.6% miss) Adjusted EBITDA: -$31.02 million (-10.6% margin, 27.9% year-on-year decline) EBITDA guidance for the upcoming financial year 2027 is $12.5 million at the midpoint, below analyst estimates of $20.02 million Operating Margin: -19.2%, down from -13.5% in the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow was -$33 million compared to -$36.1 million in the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $223.7 million Founded in 1976, 1-800-FLOWERS (NASDAQ:FLWS) is an online retailer of flowers, gifts, and gourmet foods, serving customers globally. A company’s long-term performance is an indicator of its overall quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but the best consistently grow over the long haul. Over the last five years, 1-800-FLOWERS’s demand was weak and its revenue declined by 6.7% per year. This was below our standards and suggests it’s a low quality business. We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within consumer discretionary, a stretched historical view may miss a company riding a successful new product or trend. 1-800-FLOWERS’s recent performance shows its demand remained suppressed as its revenue has declined by 9.4% annually over the last two years. This quarter, 1-800-FLOWERS reported a rather uninspiring 12.9% year-on-year revenue decline to $293.1 million of revenue, in line with Wall Street’s estimates. Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to remain flat over the next 12 months. While this projection indicates its newer products and services will catalyze better top-line performance, it is still below average for the sector.

Operating margin is an important measure of profitability as it shows the portion of revenue left after accounting for all core expenses — everything from the cost of goods sold to advertising and wages. It’s also useful for comparing profitability across companies with different levels of debt and tax rates because it excludes interest and taxes. 1-800-FLOWERS’s operating margin has shrunk over the last 12 months and averaged negative 4.3% over the last two years. Unprofitable consumer discretionary companies with falling margins deserve extra scrutiny because they’re spending loads of money to stay relevant, an unsustainable practice. In Q2, 1-800-FLOWERS generated a negative 19.2% operating margin. The company’s consistent lack of profits raises a flag. Revenue trends explain a company’s historical growth, but the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) points to the profitability of that growth — for example, a company could inflate its sales through excessive spending on advertising and promotions. Sadly for 1-800-FLOWERS, its EPS declined by 21.5% annually over the last five years, more than its revenue. This tells us the company struggled because its fixed cost base made it difficult to adjust to shrinking demand. In Q2, 1-800-FLOWERS reported adjusted EPS of negative $0.80, down from negative $0.69 in the same quarter last year. This print missed analysts’ estimates. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects 1-800-FLOWERS to improve its earnings losses. Analysts forecast its full-year EPS will improve from negative $1.20 to negative $0.33. We struggled to find many positives in these results. Its full-year EBITDA guidance missed and its EPS fell short of Wall Street’s estimates. Overall, this was a weaker quarter. The stock traded down 15.5% to $2.95 immediately following the results. 1-800-FLOWERS didn’t show its best hand this quarter, but does that create an opportunity to buy the stock right now? The latest quarter does matter, but not nearly as much as longer-term fundamentals and valuation, when deciding if the stock is a buy.

(NASDAQ: FLWS), a leading provider of thoughtful expressions designed to help inspire customers to give more, connect more, and build more and better relationships, today reported results for its Fiscal 2026 fourth quarter and year ended June 28, 2026. "Fiscal 2026 was a year of meaningful progress as we strengthened the foundation of our business and positioned the Company for its next phase of transformation," said Adolfo Villagomez, Chief Executive Officer of 1-800-Flowers.com. "We strengthened our leadership team, began to modernize our digital and marketing capabilities, simplified how we operate, and became a more customer-first, data-driven organization. As we enter fiscal 2027, accelerating the recovery of our revenue trends is our highest priority. We will continue building these capabilities while increasingly putting them to work to improve customer acquisition, engagement, and retention and to drive better business performance over time." "As part of our continued efforts to enhance our financial flexibility and support the ongoing transformation of the business, we recently amended our credit agreement to provide additional financial flexibility," continued Mr. Villagomez. "We are also evaluating a range of options, including the sale of non-strategic assets and capital raising options, intended to optimize our capital structure and support investments in our transformation and drive future growth. While this work is underway, we remain focused on executing our fiscal 2027 priorities and improving the fundamental drivers of our business." Credit Agreement Amendment The Company announced that it has amended its credit agreement to extend its existing covenant relief and provide the Company with additional flexibility to use a portion of the proceeds from potential asset sales to invest in strategic initiatives and support the ongoing transformation of the business. Additional information regarding the amendment can be found in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 10, 2026. Evaluation of Capital Raising Options The Company is also evaluating a range of options intended to optimize its capital structure and provide additional capital to support investments in its transformation and drive future growth. The potential options may include, but are not limited to, one or more public or private debt or equity financings, potential divestitures of non-strategic assets, or other capital structure transactions. The Company has retained Guggenheim Securities, LLC as its financial advisor in connection with this evaluation. There can be no assurance that the evaluation will result in any transaction or outcome or, if one or more transactions ensue, what the terms of any such transaction might be. The Company is in the early stages of the evaluation and will not comment further during the process.

Fiscal Year 2027 Outlook During Fiscal 2027, the Company expects to continue reinvesting a significant portion of the cost savings achieved through its operational efficiency initiatives into strategic growth investments. These investments include further modernization of the Company's marketing capabilities, continued development of its marketing technology platform, enhancements to its digital customer experience and personalization capabilities, and other initiatives designed to strengthen customer acquisition, engagement, and retention. While the Company expects the benefits of these investments to build over multiple years, management believes Fiscal 2027 marks the next phase of its transformation. The Company will continue to build key capabilities while increasingly leveraging the investments made during Fiscal 2026 to improve operating performance and create sustainable long-term value. For Fiscal 2027, the Company expects net revenues to decline in the mid-single digit range compared with Fiscal 2026. The Company expects Fiscal 2027 adjusted EBITDA of $10 million to $15 million, which includes approximately $12 million of additional compensation expense versus Fiscal 2026.

A recording of the call will be posted on the Investors section of the Company’s website within two hours of the call’s completion. Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures: We sometimes use financial measures derived from consolidated financial information, but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Certain of these are considered "Non-GAAP financial measures" under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Non-GAAP financial measures referred to in this document are either labeled as "Non-GAAP," "adjusted" or designated as such with a "1". See below for definitions and the reasons why we use these non-GAAP financial measures. Where applicable, see the Selected Financial Information below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. 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") investment appreciation/depreciation, goodwill and intangible impairment and for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Selected Financial Information for details on how EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA were calculated for each period presented. The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted 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-related items 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. 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 Segment Contribution Margin adjusted for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Selected Financial Information for details on how Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin were calculated for each period presented. When viewed together with our GAAP results, we believe Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin provide management and users of the financial statements 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 these measures by looking at other GAAP measures, such as Operating Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss). Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) 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. See Selected Financial Information below for details on how Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share were calculated for each period presented. 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. 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.

Interested in 1-800 FLOWERS.COM, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Revenue and profitability declined sharply: Fiscal 2026 revenue fell 10.8% to $1.5 billion, while adjusted EBITDA dropped to $2.9 million from $29.2 million. Fourth-quarter revenue decreased 12.9% year over year, and the adjusted EBITDA loss widened to $31 million. The company is pursuing greater financial flexibility: 1-800-FLOWERS.COM amended its credit agreement, is evaluating non-strategic asset sales and potential debt or equity financing, and retained Guggenheim Securities to advise on capital-structure options. Fiscal 2027 priorities include recovery and cost savings: Management expects revenue to decline in the mid-single digits and adjusted EBITDA to reach $10 million-$15 million, supported by an additional $15 million-$20 million of identified savings and reinvestment in marketing, technology and customer experience. 3 Summer Stocks With Insider Buying and Analyst Support 1-800 FLOWERS.COM (NASDAQ:FLWS) reported lower fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal 2026 revenue and adjusted EBITDA, while outlining plans to raise capital, potentially divest non-strategic assets and reinvest savings into marketing, technology and customer-experience initiatives. Chief Executive Officer Adolfo Villagomez said fiscal 2026 focused on strengthening the company’s operating foundation through leadership changes, organizational simplification, digital modernization and clearer accountability across the customer journey. The company is entering fiscal 2027 with revenue recovery as its top operational priority, he said. → Morgan Stanley Eyes Good Things Ahead for Meta After $18 Billion Legal Settlement 3 stocks set to benefit from record Valentine's Day spending “We now have a stronger leadership team, better capabilities, deeper customer insights, and a more agile organization,” Villagomez said. “As we enter fiscal 2027, we will continue building those capabilities, but our focus is increasingly on putting them to work and demonstrating what we can deliver.” The company said it amended its credit agreement with banking partners, extending its covenant-relief period and providing more flexibility in using proceeds from possible asset sales. Under the amended agreement, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM may retain a portion of potential asset-sale proceeds for strategic investments. → Tesla’s Robotaxi Launch Wasn’t the Moment Investors Expected 3 Stocks Both Analysts and Short Sellers Like Chief Financial Officer James Langrock said the company is also evaluating non-strategic asset sales, public or private debt and equity financings, and other capital-structure transactions. Guggenheim Securities has been retained as financial adviser for the review. Langrock said the actions are intended to improve financial flexibility and support investments in initiatives designed to improve customer acquisition, retention, engagement and longer-term growth. He cautioned that the company is in the early stages of the process and that there is no assurance it will result in a transaction. → Despite Post-Earnings Drop, Wall Street Analysts Eye New Highs for Broadcom Stock During the question-and-answer session, Langrock said the company is reviewing both brands and hard assets for possible divestitures, focusing on assets that may not be necessary for its long-term strategy or could be operated through third-party partnerships. Fourth-quarter consolidated revenue declined 12.9% year over year to $293.1 million. Revenue in the Consumer Floral and Gifts segment fell 13.4%, while Gourmet Foods and Gift Baskets revenue declined 15.4%. BloomNet revenue increased 1.9%. Langrock said the timing of Easter affected Gourmet Foods and Gift Baskets results, contributing approximately 2.5 to 3.5 percentage points to that segment’s revenue decline and about 1.5 percentage points to consolidated quarterly revenue. The Easter timing shift did not affect full-year results, he said. For fiscal 2026, consolidated revenue declined 10.8% to $1.5 billion. Transactions fell 17.6%, partially offset by a 5.5% increase in average order value and growth in the company’s wholesale business. Fourth-quarter adjusted gross margin was 34.7%, compared with 35.5% a year earlier. Full-year adjusted gross margin was 38.0%, compared with 39.1% in fiscal 2025. Fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA loss was $31 million, compared with a $24.2 million loss in the prior-year period. Full-year adjusted EBITDA was $2.9 million, down from $29.2 million a year earlier. Gross margin reflected sales deleveraging, higher commodity costs and inventory reserves, partly offset by cost reductions, operating efficiencies and an approximately $7 million benefit from tariff refunds, Langrock said. He said the company does not expect additional tariff refunds at this time. Among commodities, Langrock said cocoa remained a year-over-year headwind despite moderating from peak market prices. Costs for butter, flour and liquid eggs had provided some benefit, although flour costs had begun to rise. The company is also monitoring outbound shipping costs and fuel surcharges. The company completed its original $50 million run-rate cost-savings target ahead of schedule and identified an additional $15 million to $20 million of opportunities across cost of goods sold and operating expenses. It expects to execute those additional savings initiatives during fiscal 2027, with the full benefit expected in fiscal 2028. At the end of fiscal 2026, net debt was $128 million, compared with $114 million a year earlier. Cash totaled $11 million, and inventory was $153 million, down from $177 million. The company had $139 million in term debt and no borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Langrock said working-capital management contributed to a $55 million year-over-year improvement in free cash flow. For fiscal 2027, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM expects revenue to decline in the mid-single-digit range and adjusted EBITDA of $10 million to $15 million. The EBITDA outlook includes approximately $12 million of additional variable compensation expense compared with fiscal 2026. Langrock said the outlook assumes the company will receive the full benefit of its $50 million in run-rate savings, though some of those savings will be reinvested in marketing, marketing technology and digital customer-experience improvements. The forecast does not include any potential benefit from investments funded by future capital-raising activity or divestitures. The company expects the rate of revenue decline to moderate during fiscal 2027 as its initiatives gain traction, though it did not provide quarterly guidance. Villagomez said the company has shifted to a function-based operating model that separates responsibility for marketing, merchandising and digital experience. Marketing is focused on customer acquisition, retention and engagement; merchandising oversees assortment, pricing, delivery fees and promotions; and the digital team is responsible for improving websites and conversion. The company recently launched a redesigned Harry & David website in A/B testing, featuring a mobile-first design, improved navigation, dynamic product ranking and AI-powered search. It also moved some lower-traffic standalone websites into categories on harryanddavid.com to simplify its digital ecosystem. Villagomez said the company is working to better align florist-fulfilled and direct-shipped floral offerings. More than 60% of Consumer Floral and Gifts fulfillment is currently florist fulfilled, according to Langrock. Rather than targeting a specific mix, Villagomez said the company intends to offer customers the fulfillment option best suited to their location and needs. The company ended fiscal 2026 with 7.5 million customers and more than 800,000 Passport members. Existing customers generated 77% of revenue. Multi-category customers represented 12% of customers and 26% of revenue, while Passport members represented 9% of customers and 19% of revenue. Villagomez said the company plans to expand Passport beyond free shipping, using a redesigned loyalty approach to segment customers, improve retention and reduce customer reacquisition costs. He also said third-party marketplace relationships with Amazon, DoorDash, Instacart and others were growing from a small base at double- and, in some cases, triple-digit rates and were marketing-contribution-margin positive. The company has seen little cannibalization of its own digital channels, he said. 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc, founded in 1976 by Jim McCann and headquartered in Jericho, New York, is a leading floral and gift retailer in North America.

While some of the consumer discretionary - specialized consumer services stocks have shown solid performance in this choppy environment, the group has generally underperformed, with share prices down 6.3% on average over the last month. 1-800-FLOWERS is down 6.5% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $5.50 (compared to the current share price of $3.72).
