– Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by

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

-Q and Article

of Regulation S-

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

nine

month periods ended

March 29, 2020

are

not

necessarily indicative of the results that

may

be expected for the fiscal year ending

June 28, 2020.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our

Annual Report on Form

-K for the fiscal year ended

June 30, 2019

, 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, generates nearly

50%

of the Company’s annual revenues, and all of its earnings. As a result of the number of major floral gifting occasions, including Mother's Day, Valentine’s Day, Easter and Administrative Professionals Week, revenues also rise during the Company’s fiscal

third

and

fourth

quarters compared 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.

COVID-

March 27, 2020,

the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law. The CARES Act provides a substantial stimulus and assistance package intended to address the impact of the COVID-

pandemic, including tax relief and government loans, grants and investments. The CARES Act did

not

have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements during the

three

months and

nine

months ended

March

29,

2020.

The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic of the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-

19"

) on its business, including how it will affect its customers, workforce, suppliers, vendors, franchisees, florists, and production and distribution channels, as well as its financial statements. The extent to which COVID-

impacts the Company’s business and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors including, but

not

limited to: the magnitude and duration of COVID-

19,

the extent to which it will impact macroeconomic conditions including interest rates, employment rates and consumer confidence, the speed of the anticipated recovery, and governmental, business and individual consumer reactions to the pandemic. The Company assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of COVID-

as of

March 29, 2020

and through the date of this report. The accounting matters assessed included, but were

not

limited to, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses, inventory and related reserves and the carrying value of goodwill and other long-lived assets. While there was

not

a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended

March 29, 2020,

the Company’s future assessment of these factors and the evolving factors described above, could result in material impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

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 monthly subscription programs, including our Fruit of the Month Club and Celebrations Passport program.

Our total deferred revenue as of

June 30, 2019

was

$17.3

million (included in “Accrued expenses” on our consolidated balance sheets), of which,

$0.5

million and

$16.4

million was recognized as revenue during the

three

and

nine

months ended

March 29, 2020.

The deferred revenue balance as of

March 29, 2020

was

$28.6

million.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted

February 2016,

the FASB issued ASU

No.

02,

“Leases (Topic

842

)” (“ASC

842”

). Under this guidance, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. We adopted the new standard effective

July 1, 2019

and elected the optional transition method and therefore, we will

not

apply the standard to the comparative periods presented in our financial statements. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, that did

not

require us to reassess, under the new standard, our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. Further, we elected a short-term lease exception policy, permitting us to

not

apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e. leases with terms of

months or less) and an accounting policy to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for certain classes of assets. The adoption of the new standard had a material impact to the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, but

impact to the Consolidated Statements of Income (Operations) or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As such, we recorded operating lease liabilities of

$80.7

million, based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments using discount rates as of the effective date, and a corresponding right-of-use assets of

$78.7

million based on the operating lease liabilities adjusted for deferred rent and lease incentives received. See

and the newly required disclosures.

Financial Instruments – Measurement of Credit Losses.

June 2016,

the FASB issued ASU

No.

2016

13,

“Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic

326

): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU

2016

introduces a new forward-looking “expected loss” approach, to estimate credit losses on most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade receivables. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU also expands the disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the entity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating expected credit losses. ASU

2016

is effective for the Company’s fiscal

2021,

and the guidance is to be applied using the modified-retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

"Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic

an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal

expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
