1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. Reports 9.0 Percent Revenue Growth for Its Fiscal 2022 First Quarter
1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLWS), a leading e-commerce provider of products and services designed to inspire more human expression, connection, and celebration, today reported results for its fiscal 2022 first quarter ended September 26, 2021.
Chris McCann, CEO of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc., said “We are very pleased to report strong revenue growth for what was one of our most challenging year-over-year comparisons. Importantly, our 9.0 percent revenue growth for the quarter was on top of the 51.5 percent revenue growth we reported in the first quarter last year. This illustrates the strong growth momentum that we have been building over the past several years. As we had anticipated, the first quarter this year started out somewhat slowly with demand gradually ramping up resulting in double-digit revenue growth for the month of September.”
McCann said that increased recognition and relevance for its family of brands for everyday gifting and connective occasions, as well as its expanded product offering, including PersonalizationMall.com, were primary drivers of the strong revenue growth. “We also continued to see strong growth in our Celebrations Passport loyalty program, which helps drive increased purchase frequency, retention, and life-time value along with solid growth in customers buying from multiple product categories and multiple brands.”
Total consolidated revenues increased 9.0 percent to $309.4 million, compared with total consolidated revenues of $283.8 million in the prior year period, reflecting strong ecommerce growth of 10.3 percent including contributions from PersonalizationMall, which the Company acquired on August 3, 2020. Excluding the non-comparable five weeks of contribution from PersonalizationMall in the quarter, total net revenues increased 4.3 percent, compared with the prior year period.
Gross profit margin for the quarter was 40.6 percent, a decline of 10 basis points compared with 40.7 percent in the prior year period. Operating expenses as a percent of total revenues, increased 170 basis points to 47.1 percent
Net loss for the quarter was $13.2 million, or ($0.20) per share.
