Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1 – Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by 1-800-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 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 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-month period ended October 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2023, 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, is expected to generate over 40% of the Company’s annual revenues, and all of its earnings. Due to the number of major floral gifting occasions, including Mother's Day, Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Administrative Professionals Week, revenues also have historically risen during the Company’s fiscal third and fourth quarters in comparison 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.

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 subscription programs, including our various food, wine, and plant-of-the-month clubs and our Celebrations Passport® program.

Our total deferred revenue as of July 2, 2023 was $30.8 million (included in “Accrued expenses” on our consolidated balance sheets), of which $16.1 million was recognized as revenue during the three months ended October 1, 2023. The deferred revenue balance as of October 1, 2023 was $29.7 million.  

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect that any recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss during the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and excludes the dilutive potential common shares (consisting of unvested restricted stock awards), as their inclusion would be antidilutive. As a result of the net loss for the three months ended October 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022, there is no dilutive impact to the net loss per share calculation for the respective periods.

Note 3 – Acquisitions

Acquisition of Things Remembered

On January 10, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of certain assets of the Things Remembered brand, a provider of personalized gifts, whose operations are integrated within the PersonalizationMall.com brand, in the Consumer Floral & Gifts segment. The Company used cash on hand to fund the $5.0 million purchase, which included the intellectual property, customer list, certain inventory, and equipment. The acquisition did not include Things Remembered retail stores. Things Remembered’s annual revenues from its e-commerce operations, based on its most recently available unaudited financial information was $30.4 million for the twelve months ended November 30, 2022.

The total consideration of $5.0 million was preliminarily allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on our preliminary estimates of their fair values on the acquisition date, including: goodwill of $1.7 million (deductible for income tax purposes), trademarks of $0.8 million (indefinite life), customer lists of $0.8 million (3-year life), inventory of $1.3 million, and equipment of $0.4 million. The Company is in the process of finalizing its allocation and this may result in potential adjustments to the carrying value of the respective recorded assets and liabilities, establishment of certain additional intangible assets, revisions of useful lives of intangible assets, and the determination of any residual amount that will be allocated to goodwill.

Operating results of the Things Remembered business are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition within the Consumer Floral & Gifts segment. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented, as the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results was not material.

Note 6 – Investments

Equity investments without a readily determinable fair value

Investments in non-marketable equity instruments of private companies, where the Company does not possess the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for at cost, less impairment (assessed qualitatively at each reporting period), adjusted for observable price changes from orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. These investments are included within “Other assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The aggregate carrying amount of the Company’s equity investments without a readily determinable fair value was $2.6 million as of October 1, 2023 and July 2, 2023, respectively. 

Equity investments with a readily determinable fair value

The Company also holds certain trading securities associated with its Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“NQDC Plan”). These investments are measured using quoted market prices at the reporting date and are included within the “Other assets” line item in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements). 

Note 7 –Debt, Net

Less: current debt		45,000			10,000
Long-term debt	$	184,071		$	186,391

On June 27, 2023, the Company, certain of its U.S. subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amended Credit Agreement”). The Third Amended Credit Agreement amends and restates the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2019 (as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of August 20, 2020, the Second Amendment, dated as of November 8, 2021, and the Third Amendment, dated as of August 29, 2022). The Third Amended Credit Agreement, among other modifications: (i) increases the amount of the outstanding term loan (“Term Loan”) from approximately $150 million to $200 million, (ii) decreases the amount of the commitments in respect of the revolving credit facility from $250 million to $225 million subject to a seasonal reduction to an aggregate amount of $125 million for the period from January 1 to August 1, (iii) extends the maturity date of the outstanding term loan and the revolving credit facilities by approximately 48 months to June 27, 2028, and (iv) increases the applicable interest rate margins for SOFR and base rate loans by 25 basis points.

For each borrowing under the Third Amended Credit Agreement, the Company may elect that such borrowing bear interest at an annual rate equal to either: (1) a base rate plus an applicable margin varying based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, where the base rate is the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the New York fed bank rate plus 0.5%, and (c) an adjusted SOFR rate plus an applicable margin varying based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The adjusted SOFR rate includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for all interest periods.

The Third Amended Credit Agreement requires that while any borrowings or commitments are outstanding the Company comply with certain financial covenants and affirmative covenants as well as certain negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments and make certain restricted payments. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of October 1, 2023. The Third Amended Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

The principal of the Term Loan is payable at a rate of $2.5 million for the first 8 quarterly installments beginning on September 29, 2023, increasing to a quarterly payment of $5.0 million, commencing on September 26, 2025, for the remaining 11 payments, with the remaining balance of $125.0 million due upon maturity on June 27, 2028.

Future principal term loan payments under the Third Amended Credit Agreement are as follows: $7.5 million – remainder of Fiscal 2024, $10.0 million – Fiscal 2025, $20.0 million – Fiscal 2026, $20.0 million – Fiscal 2027, and $140.0 million – Fiscal 2028.

Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, prepaids, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Although no trading market exists, the Company believes that the carrying amount of its debt approximates fair value due to its variable nature (these are level 2 investments). The Company’s investments in non-marketable equity instruments of private companies are carried at cost and are periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment when an event or circumstances indicate that an other-than-temporary decline in value may have occurred. The Company’s remaining financial assets and liabilities are measured and recorded at fair value (see table below). The Company’s non-financial assets, such as definite lived intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at cost and are assessed for impairment when an event or circumstance indicates that an other-than-temporary decline in value may have occurred. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently, if events occur or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist, as required under the accounting standards.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the guidance are described below:

Level 1	Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
Level 2	Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3	Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table presents by level, within the fair value hierarchy, financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

(1) The Company has established a NQDC Plan for certain members of senior management. Deferred compensation plan assets are invested in mutual funds held in a “rabbi trust,” which is restricted for payment to participants of the NQDC Plan. Trading securities held in a rabbi trust are measured using quoted market prices at the reporting date and are included in the “Other assets” line item, with the corresponding liability included in the “Other liabilities” line item in the consolidated balance sheets. 

Note 10 – Income Taxes

The Company computed the interim tax provision using an estimated annual effective rate, adjusted for discrete items. This estimate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis and may change in subsequent interim periods. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended October 1, 2023 was 24.8% compared to 25.3% in the same period of the prior year. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended October 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by tax credits and other items.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions, and various foreign countries. The Company’s fiscal years 2020, 2021, and 2022 remain subject to U.S. federal examination. Due to ongoing state examinations and nonconformity with the U.S. federal statute of limitations for assessment, certain states remain open from fiscal 2016. The Company's foreign income tax filings from fiscal 2017 are open for examination by its respective foreign tax authorities, mainly Canada and Brazil.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. At October 1, 2023, the Company has an unrecognized tax benefit, including accrued interest and penalties, of approximately $1.6 million. The Company believes that $0.1 million of unrecognized tax positions will be resolved over the next twelve months.

Note 11 – Business Segments

The Company’s management reviews the results of its operations by the following three business segments:

• Consumer Floral & Gifts,

• BloomNet, and

• Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets

Segment performance is measured based on contribution margin, which includes 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 (see (a) below), nor does it include depreciation and amortization, other (income) expense, net and income taxes, or stock-based compensation, which are included within corporate overhead. Assets and liabilities are reviewed at the consolidated level by management and not accounted for by segment.

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 categories based upon usage, are included within corporate expenses as they are not directly allocable to a specific segment.

Note 12 – Leases

The Company currently leases plants, warehouses, offices, store facilities, and equipment under various leases through fiscal 2036. Most lease agreements are of a long-term nature (over a year), although the Company does also enter into short-term leases, primarily for seasonal needs. Lease agreements may contain renewal options and rent escalation clauses and require the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and operating expenses applicable to the leased properties. The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842.

At contract inception, the Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease by determining whether it conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time, by assessing whether the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

At the lease commencement date, the Company determines if a lease should be classified as an operating or a finance lease (the Company currently has no finance leases) and recognizes a corresponding lease liability and a right-of-use asset on its Balance Sheet. The lease liability is initially and subsequently measured as the present value of the remaining fixed minimum rental payments (including base rent and fixed common area maintenance) using discount rates as of the commencement date. Variable payments (including most utilities, real estate taxes, insurance and variable common area maintenance) are expensed as incurred. Further, the Company elected a short-term lease exception policy, permitting it to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e. leases with terms of 12 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 right-of-use asset is initially and subsequently measured at the carrying amount of the lease liability adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, remaining balance of lease incentives received, unamortized initial direct costs, or impairment charges relating to the right-of-use asset. Right-of-use assets are assessed for impairment using the long-lived assets impairment guidance. The discount rate used to determine the present value of lease payments is the Company’s estimated collateralized incremental borrowing rate, based on the yield curve for the respective lease terms, as the Company generally cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease.

The Company recognizes expense for its operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As these leases expire, it can be expected that in the normal course of business they will be renewed or replaced. Renewal option periods are included in the measurement of lease liability, where the exercise is reasonably certain to occur. Key estimates and judgments in accounting for leases include how the Company determines: (1) lease payments, (2) lease term, and (3) the discount rate used in calculating the lease liability.

Macro-economic Conditions

Overall, broader macro-economic conditions continue to impact our consumers as they continue to moderate their discretionary income. Consumers remain pressured by persistent inflation, higher interest rates, and more recently, the resumption of student loan repayments. Our fiscal first quarter is comprised of everyday or just-because gift giving occasions, which has been challenged as consumers reduced their discretionary spending in response to the macro environment. Based on this, we expected our sales to be the most challenged during the first quarter of fiscal 2024, as there are no major holiday occasions during the quarter. In line with this, total consolidated revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased 11.4% to $269.1 million, compared with total consolidated revenues of $303.6 million in the same prior year period. As we look ahead to the holiday period in the current environment, we expect our sales trends to improve as our gifting business has historically proven to be more resilient during holiday periods as consumers tend to view holiday gifting periods as being somewhat less discretionary.

The challenging macro-economic conditions that have affected our customers have also impacted our operating costs. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, in-bound and out-bound shipping, commodity, labor and fuel costs began to surge, and escalated throughout the balance of the year and into fiscal 2023. During our second quarter and third quarter of fiscal 2023, while certain commodity prices remained near historical highs, we began to see a more stable labor market, and significant year-over-year reductions in ocean freight costs. As a result of these trends, combined with our strategic pricing initiatives, automation efforts, and other internal management initiatives, we started to see year-over-year improvement in gross margin commencing in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. These trends and initiatives continued into fiscal 2024 and we saw a significant improvement in year-over-year gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. This improvement and a reduction of expenses helped to offset the aforementioned year-over-year decline in sales.

Acquisition of Things Remembered

On January 10, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of certain assets of the Things Remembered brand, a provider of personalized gifts, whose operations have been integrated within the PersonalizationMall.com brand, in the Consumer Floral & Gifts segment. The Company used cash on hand to fund the $5.0 million purchase, which included intellectual property, customer list, certain inventory, and equipment - see Note 3 –Acquisitions in Item 1. 

15

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On June 27, 2023, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to, among other modifications, (i) increase the amount of the outstanding term loan from approximately $150 million to $200 million, (ii) decrease the amount of the commitments in respect of the revolving credit facility from $250 million to $225 million subject to a seasonal reduction to an aggregate amount of $125 million for the period from January 1 to August 1, (iii) extend the maturity date of the outstanding term loan and the revolving credit facilities by approximately 48 months to June 27, 2028, and (iv) increase the applicable interest rate margins for SOFR and base rate loans by 25 basis points (See Note 7 - Debt, in Item 1, for details).

Company Guidance

For Fiscal 2024, the Company continues to expect revenues to remain pressured by a challenging consumer environment, but year-over-year trends to continue to improve during the holiday period and into the second half of the fiscal year. The Company also expects continued improvement in gross margin.  

As a result, the Company expects Fiscal 2024:

● Total revenues on a percentage basis to decline in the mid-single digits, as compared with the prior year;

● Adjusted EBITDA to be in a range of $95 million to $100 million; and

● Free Cash Flow to be in a range of $60 million to $65 million.

Refer to "Definitions of non-GAAP Financial Measures" for reconciliation of non-GAAP results to applicable GAAP results.

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. See below for definitions and the reasons why we use these non-GAAP financial measures.  Where applicable, see the Segment Information and Results of Operations sections below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are referred to as “non-GAAP” or “adjusted” below, as these terms are used interchangeably. 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 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 Plan”) Investment appreciation/depreciation, and certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Segment 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 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 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 should only be used on a supplemental basis combined with GAAP results when evaluating the Company's performance.

16

Segment contribution margin 

We define segment contribution margin as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, before the allocation of corporate overhead expenses. See Segment Information for details on how segment contribution margin was calculated for each period presented.

When viewed together with our GAAP results, we believe segment contribution margin provides management and users of the financial statements meaningful information about the performance of our business segments.

Segment contribution margin is 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 is that it is 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 this measure by looking at other GAAP measures, such as operating income and net income. 

Free Cash Flow

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by 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.

(a) 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, both of which are non-GAAP measurements. 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), and other items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance.

(b) 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 categories based upon usage, are included within corporate expenses as they are not directly allocable to a specific segment.

Other		59,139		64,682		-8.6	%
Total net revenues	$	269,050	$	303,604		-11.4	%

Net revenues consist primarily of the selling price of the merchandise, service or outbound shipping charges, less discounts, returns and credits.

Net revenues decreased 11.4% during the three months ended October 1, 2023 compared to the same period of the prior year, due to lower order volume across all segments, reflecting a continuation of the trends that the Company had experienced throughout the prior fiscal year, as consumer discretionary income remains pressured and consumers continue to moderate their spending on purchases for “Everyday” gifting occasions. Contributing to this decline was the prudent use of promotional offerings and advertising campaigns, which balance the long-term goals of the Company with strategies to improve gross margins and tightly control operating expenses during this challenging economic environment.

The Company acquired Things Remembered on January 10, 2023 and launched the brand on its e-commerce platform in April 2023. Things Remembered revenues were not significant during the three months ended October 1, 2023.

Revenue by sales channel:

E-commerce revenues (combined online and telephonic) decreased 12.1% during the three months ended October 1, 2023, compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily as a result of the decline in demand for “Everyday” gifts across all our segments, as a result of the macro-economic conditions noted above, which have negatively impacted consumer discretionary spending, combined with planned reductions in advertising spend.

During the three months ended October 1, 2023, the Company fulfilled approximately 2.6 million orders through its e-commerce sales channel (online and telephonic sales), a decrease of 16.1% compared to the same period of the prior year. During the three months ended October 1, 2023, average order value increased 4.8%, to $79.46, as a result of strategic price increases, and product mix into higher price point items.

Other revenues are comprised of the Company’s BloomNet segment, as well as the wholesale and retail channels of its Consumer Floral & Gifts and Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets segments.

Other revenues during the three months ended October 1, 2023, decreased 8.6%, compared with the same period of the prior year, due to slightly lower wholesale volumes within the Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets segment, as well as lower BloomNet revenues due to lower shop-to-shop volumes, as well as wholesale volumes.

Revenue by segment:

Consumer Floral & Gifts – this segment, which includes the operations of the 1-800-Flowers.com, PersonalizationMall, and Alice’s Table brands, and the Things Remembered brand, subsequent to its acquisition on January 10, 2023, derives revenue from the sale of consumer floral products and gifts through its e-commerce sales channels (telephonic and online sales), retail stores, and royalties from its franchise operations. 

Net revenues within this segment decreased 12.3% during the three months ended October 1, 2023 compared to the same period of the prior year, due to the continued reduction of “Everyday” product demand, as consumers’ available discretionary income continues to shrink in the current inflationary environment, which was combined with planned reductions in advertising spend, as the brands focused their efforts on improving gross margin and operating spend efficiency, in the face of softening demand.

During the three months ended October 1, 2023, Consumer Floral & Gifts orders through its e-commerce sales channel (online and telephonic sales) decreased 16.0% compared to the same period of the prior year, however this was partially offset by an increase in average order value of 4.2%, as a result of strategic price increases and product mix into higher price point items.

BloomNet - revenues in this segment are derived from membership fees, as well as product and service offerings.

Net revenues decreased 13.5% during the three months ended October 1, 2023, compared to the same period of the prior year. The net revenue decline was due to soft wholesale product revenues, as well as lower services revenues, attributable to a decline in order volume processed through the network.

Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets – this segment includes the operations of Harry & David, Wolferman’s, Cheryl’s Cookies, The Popcorn Factory, 1-800-Baskets/DesignPac, Shari’s Berries, and Vital Choice. Revenue is derived from the sale of gourmet fruits, cookies, baked gifts, premium chocolates and confections, gourmet popcorn, gift baskets, dipped berries, prime steaks, chops, and fish, through the Company’s e-commerce sales channels (telephonic and online sales) and company-owned and operated retail stores under the Harry & David and Cheryl’s brand names, as well as wholesale operations.

Net revenues within this segment decreased 9.3% during the three months ended October 1, 2023 compared to the same period of the prior year, as a result of lower e-commerce and wholesale revenues, primarily due to macro-economic weakness, which has significantly reduced “Everyday” occasion volumes, combined with planned reductions in advertising spend, as the brands focused their efforts on improving gross margin and operating spend efficiency in the face of softening demand.

During the three months ended October 1, 2023, Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets orders through its e-commerce sales channel (online and telephonic sales) decreased 16.3% compared to the same period of the prior year, however this was partially offset by an increase in average order value of 5.9%, as a result of strategic price increases and product mix into higher price point items.

Gross profit %		37.9	%		33.4	%

Gross profit consists of net revenues less cost of revenues, which is comprised primarily of florist fulfillment costs (fees paid directly to florists), the cost of floral and non-floral merchandise sold from inventory or through third parties, and associated costs, including inbound and outbound shipping charges. Additionally, cost of revenues includes labor and facility costs related to direct-to-consumer and wholesale production operations, as well as payments made to sending florists related to order volume referred through the Company’s BloomNet network. 

Gross profit increased 0.5% during the three months ended October 1, 2023 compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to a favorable gross profit percentage, principally offset by lower revenues noted above.

Gross profit percentage increased 450 basis points during the three months ended October 1, 2023, compared to the same period of the prior year, driven by lower ocean freight costs, strategic pricing initiatives, a decline in certain commodity costs, and better inventory management.

Gross profit by segment follows:

Consumer Floral & Gifts segment - Gross profit decreased by 9.0% during the three months ended October 1, 2023 due to the impact of the lower revenues noted above, partially offset by favorable gross profit percentage attributable to strategic pricing initiatives and lower ocean freight costs.

BloomNet segment - Gross profit increased by 0.1% during the three months ended October 1, 2023, compared to the same period of the prior year, due to an improved gross profit percentage, partially offset by the decrease in revenues noted above.

Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets segment – Gross profit increased by 23.1% during the three months ended October 1, 2023, compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to an improved gross profit percentage, partially offset by the revenue decrease noted above.

Marketing and sales expense decreased 7.4% during the three months ended October 1, 2023 compared to the same period of the prior year, due to variable components associated with lower revenues, combined with planned reductions in advertising spend focused on driving profitable volume during a period when discretionary purchases are under pressure.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax benefit of $10.3 million during the three months ended October 1, 2023 compared to an income tax benefit of $11.4 million during the three months ended October 2, 2022. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended October 1, 2023 was 24.8% compared to 25.3% in the same period of the prior year. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended October 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by tax credits and other items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and borrowings

The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows generated from operations, and borrowings available under the Company’s credit agreement (see Note 7 - Debt in Item 1 for details). At October 1, 2023, the Company had working capital of $127.5 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $8.4 million, compared to working capital of $152.9 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $126.8 million, at July 2, 2023. 

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, is expected to generate over 40% of the Company’s annual revenues, and all of its earnings. Due to the number of major floral gifting occasions, including Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Administrative Professionals Week, revenues also have historically risen during the Company’s fiscal third and fourth quarters in comparison to its fiscal first quarter.

As of October 1, 2023, the Company had $35.0 million outstanding under its revolving credit agreement in order to fund pre-holiday manufacturing and inventory procurement requirements. Working capital borrowings typically peak in November after which time cash generated from operations during the Christmas holiday shopping season is expected to enable the Company to repay such borrowings.

While we believe that our sources of funding will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating cash needs for at least the next twelve months, any projections of future cash needs and cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty. We continually evaluate, and will, from time to time, consider the acquisition of, or investment in, complementary businesses, products, services, capital infrastructure, and technologies, which might affect our liquidity requirements or cause us to require additional financing.

Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities of $143.9 million, for the three months ended October 1, 2023, was primarily attributable to the Company’s net loss during the period, adjusted by non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, combined with seasonal changes in net working capital, including increases in inventory, trade receivables, and prepaid and other current assets.

Net cash used in investing activities of $7.0 million, for the three months ended October 1, 2023, was attributable to capital expenditures primarily related to the Company's technology and automation initiatives.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $32.4 million, for the three months ended October 1, 2023, related primarily to net proceeds from bank borrowings under the Company’s working capital line of credit.

Critical Accounting Estimates

As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2023, the discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, and management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company’s most critical accounting policies relate to goodwill, other intangible assets and income taxes. There have been no significant changes to the assumptions and estimates related to the Company’s critical accounting policies since July 2, 2023.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements 

See Note 1 - Accounting Policies in Item 1 for details regarding the impact of accounting standards that were recently issued on our consolidated financial statements.

Forward Looking Information and Factors that May Affect Future Results

Our disclosure and analysis in this report contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements represent the Company’s current expectations or beliefs concerning future events and can generally be identified by the use of statements that include words such as “estimate,” “expects,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “foresee,” “forecast,” “likely,” “will,” “goal,” “target” or similar words or phrases. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, including:

● the Company’s ability:

o to achieve revenue and profitability;

o to leverage its operating platform and reduce operating expenses;

o to manage the seasonality of its business;

o to cost effectively acquire and retain customers;

o  to successfully integrate acquired businesses and assets;

o  to reduce working capital requirements and capital expenditures;

o  to mitigate the impact of supply chain cost and capacity constraints;

o to compete against existing and new competitors;

o to manage expenses associated with sales and marketing and necessary general and administrative and technology investments; and

o  to address the effects of changes in accounting policies, practices, or assumptions, including changes that could potentially require future impairment charges;

● the outcome of contingencies, including legal proceedings in the normal course of business; and

● general consumer sentiment and economic conditions that may affect, among other things, the levels of discretionary customer purchases of the Company’s products and the costs of shipping and labor.

We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties, and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated, or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2023 listed various important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historic results. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers can find them in Part I, Item 1A, of that filing under the heading “Cautionary Statements Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995”. We incorporate that section of that Form 10-K in this filing and investors should refer to it. In addition, please refer to any additional risk factors in Part II, Item 1A in this Form 10-Q.

28

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to market risk from the effect of interest rate changes.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s investment of available cash balances and its long-term debt. The Company generally invests its cash and cash equivalents in investment grade corporate and U.S. government securities. Borrowings under the Company’s credit facility bear interest at a variable rate, plus an applicable margin, and therefore expose the Company to market risk for changes in interest rates. The effect of a 50 basis point increase in current interest rates on the Company’s interest expense would be approximately $0.3 million during the three months ended October 1, 2023.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of October 1, 2023. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 1, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the Company’s evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during the quarter ended October 1, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, as specified above. Our management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives will be met.

29

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Litigation

There are various claims, lawsuits, and pending actions against the Company and its subsidiaries incident to the operations of its businesses. It is the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel, that the final resolution of such claims, lawsuits and pending actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

There were no material changes to the Company’s risk factors as discussed in Part 1, Item 1A-Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 2, 2023.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company has a stock repurchase plan through which purchases can be made from time to time in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions, subject to general market conditions.

In addition, on February 3, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an increase to its stock repurchase plan of up to $40.0 million. As of October 1, 2023, $31.9 million remained authorized under the plan.

Notes to Financial Statements

Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]

Note 1 – Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by 1-800-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 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 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-month period ended October 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2023, 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, is expected to generate over 40% of the Company’s annual revenues, and all of its earnings. Due to the number of major floral gifting occasions, including Mother's Day, Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Administrative Professionals Week, revenues also have historically risen during the Company’s fiscal third and fourth quarters in comparison 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.

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 subscription programs, including our various food, wine, and plant-of-the-month clubs and our Celebrations Passport® program.

Our total deferred revenue as of July 2, 2023 was $30.8 million (included in “Accrued expenses” on our consolidated balance sheets), of which $16.1 million was recognized as revenue during the three months ended October 1, 2023. The deferred revenue balance as of October 1, 2023 was $29.7 million.  

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect that any recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

Note 2 – Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss during the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and excludes the dilutive potential common shares (consisting of unvested restricted stock awards), as their inclusion would be antidilutive. As a result of the net loss for the three months ended October 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022, there is no dilutive impact to the net loss per share calculation for the respective periods.

Note 3 – Acquisitions

Acquisition of Things Remembered

On January 10, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of certain assets of the Things Remembered brand, a provider of personalized gifts, whose operations are integrated within the PersonalizationMall.com brand, in the Consumer Floral & Gifts segment. The Company used cash on hand to fund the $5.0 million purchase, which included the intellectual property, customer list, certain inventory, and equipment. The acquisition did not include Things Remembered retail stores. Things Remembered’s annual revenues from its e-commerce operations, based on its most recently available unaudited financial information was $30.4 million for the twelve months ended November 30, 2022.

The total consideration of $5.0 million was preliminarily allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on our preliminary estimates of their fair values on the acquisition date, including: goodwill of $1.7 million (deductible for income tax purposes), trademarks of $0.8 million (indefinite life), customer lists of $0.8 million (3-year life), inventory of $1.3 million, and equipment of $0.4 million. The Company is in the process of finalizing its allocation and this may result in potential adjustments to the carrying value of the respective recorded assets and liabilities, establishment of certain additional intangible assets, revisions of useful lives of intangible assets, and the determination of any residual amount that will be allocated to goodwill.

Operating results of the Things Remembered business are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition within the Consumer Floral & Gifts segment. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented, as the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results was not material.

Equity investments without a readily determinable fair value

Investments in non-marketable equity instruments of private companies, where the Company does not possess the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for at cost, less impairment (assessed qualitatively at each reporting period), adjusted for observable price changes from orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. These investments are included within “Other assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The aggregate carrying amount of the Company’s equity investments without a readily determinable fair value was $2.6 million as of October 1, 2023 and July 2, 2023, respectively.

On June 27, 2023, the Company, certain of its U.S. subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amended Credit Agreement”). The Third Amended Credit Agreement amends and restates the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2019 (as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of August 20, 2020, the Second Amendment, dated as of November 8, 2021, and the Third Amendment, dated as of August 29, 2022). The Third Amended Credit Agreement, among other modifications: (i) increases the amount of the outstanding term loan (“Term Loan”) from approximately $150 million to $200 million, (ii) decreases the amount of the commitments in respect of the revolving credit facility from $250 million to $225 million subject to a seasonal reduction to an aggregate amount of $125 million for the period from January 1 to August 1, (iii) extends the maturity date of the outstanding term loan and the revolving credit facilities by approximately 48 months to June 27, 2028, and (iv) increases the applicable interest rate margins for SOFR and base rate loans by 25 basis points.

For each borrowing under the Third Amended Credit Agreement, the Company may elect that such borrowing bear interest at an annual rate equal to either: (1) a base rate plus an applicable margin varying based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, where the base rate is the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the New York fed bank rate plus 0.5%, and (c) an adjusted SOFR rate plus an applicable margin varying based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The adjusted SOFR rate includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for all interest periods.

The Third Amended Credit Agreement requires that while any borrowings or commitments are outstanding the Company comply with certain financial covenants and affirmative covenants as well as certain negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments and make certain restricted payments. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of October 1, 2023. The Third Amended Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

The principal of the Term Loan is payable at a rate of $2.5 million for the first 8 quarterly installments beginning on September 29, 2023, increasing to a quarterly payment of $5.0 million, commencing on September 26, 2025, for the remaining 11 payments, with the remaining balance of $125.0 million due upon maturity on June 27, 2028.

Future principal term loan payments under the Third Amended Credit Agreement are as follows: $7.5 million – remainder of Fiscal 2024, $10.0 million – Fiscal 2025, $20.0 million – Fiscal 2026, $20.0 million – Fiscal 2027, and $140.0 million – Fiscal 2028.

Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements

Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, prepaids, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Although no trading market exists, the Company believes that the carrying amount of its debt approximates fair value due to its variable nature (these are level 2 investments). The Company’s investments in non-marketable equity instruments of private companies are carried at cost and are periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment when an event or circumstances indicate that an other-than-temporary decline in value may have occurred. The Company’s remaining financial assets and liabilities are measured and recorded at fair value (see table below). The Company’s non-financial assets, such as definite lived intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at cost and are assessed for impairment when an event or circumstance indicates that an other-than-temporary decline in value may have occurred. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently, if events occur or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist, as required under the accounting standards.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the guidance are described below:

Level 1	Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
Level 2	Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3	Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table presents by level, within the fair value hierarchy, financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Note 10 – Income Taxes

The Company computed the interim tax provision using an estimated annual effective rate, adjusted for discrete items. This estimate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis and may change in subsequent interim periods. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended October 1, 2023 was 24.8% compared to 25.3% in the same period of the prior year. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended October 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by tax credits and other items.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions, and various foreign countries. The Company’s fiscal years 2020, 2021, and 2022 remain subject to U.S. federal examination. Due to ongoing state examinations and nonconformity with the U.S. federal statute of limitations for assessment, certain states remain open from fiscal 2016. The Company's foreign income tax filings from fiscal 2017 are open for examination by its respective foreign tax authorities, mainly Canada and Brazil.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. At October 1, 2023, the Company has an unrecognized tax benefit, including accrued interest and penalties, of approximately $1.6 million. The Company believes that $0.1 million of unrecognized tax positions will be resolved over the next twelve months.

Note 12 - Leases

Lessee, Operating Leases [Text Block]

Note 12 – Leases

The Company currently leases plants, warehouses, offices, store facilities, and equipment under various leases through fiscal 2036. Most lease agreements are of a long-term nature (over a year), although the Company does also enter into short-term leases, primarily for seasonal needs. Lease agreements may contain renewal options and rent escalation clauses and require the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and operating expenses applicable to the leased properties. The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842.

At contract inception, the Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease by determining whether it conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time, by assessing whether the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

At the lease commencement date, the Company determines if a lease should be classified as an operating or a finance lease (the Company currently has no finance leases) and recognizes a corresponding lease liability and a right-of-use asset on its Balance Sheet. The lease liability is initially and subsequently measured as the present value of the remaining fixed minimum rental payments (including base rent and fixed common area maintenance) using discount rates as of the commencement date. Variable payments (including most utilities, real estate taxes, insurance and variable common area maintenance) are expensed as incurred. Further, the Company elected a short-term lease exception policy, permitting it to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e. leases with terms of 12 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 right-of-use asset is initially and subsequently measured at the carrying amount of the lease liability adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, remaining balance of lease incentives received, unamortized initial direct costs, or impairment charges relating to the right-of-use asset. Right-of-use assets are assessed for impairment using the long-lived assets impairment guidance. The discount rate used to determine the present value of lease payments is the Company’s estimated collateralized incremental borrowing rate, based on the yield curve for the respective lease terms, as the Company generally cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease.

The Company recognizes expense for its operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As these leases expire, it can be expected that in the normal course of business they will be renewed or replaced. Renewal option periods are included in the measurement of lease liability, where the exercise is reasonably certain to occur. Key estimates and judgments in accounting for leases include how the Company determines: (1) lease payments, (2) lease term, and (3) the discount rate used in calculating the lease liability.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by 1-800-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 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 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-month period ended October 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2023, 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, is expected to generate over 40% of the Company’s annual revenues, and all of its earnings. Due to the number of major floral gifting occasions, including Mother's Day, Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Administrative Professionals Week, revenues also have historically risen during the Company’s fiscal third and fourth quarters in comparison to its fiscal first quarter.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

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.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Policy Text Block]

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 subscription programs, including our various food, wine, and plant-of-the-month clubs and our Celebrations Passport® program.

Our total deferred revenue as of July 2, 2023 was $30.8 million (included in “Accrued expenses” on our consolidated balance sheets), of which $16.1 million was recognized as revenue during the three months ended October 1, 2023. The deferred revenue balance as of October 1, 2023 was $29.7 million.
