1-800-Flowers.com Sales Drop 7 Percent
1-800-Flowers.com (NASDAQ:FLWS), a leading online florist and gifting platform, posted its fiscal fourth quarter results on September 4, 2025. The key headline is a year-over-year decline in GAAP revenue and profitability across all core business segments, reflecting deeper business challenges than analysts had expected. Fourth quarter revenue was $336.6 million, down 6.7 % from the same period last year, while adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at a loss of ($0.69), versus a loss of ($0.34) per share last year. Profit margins contracted and the company's free cash flow (non-GAAP) swung to a negative position. Management provided no forward guidance. The period marks another tough quarter as new leadership continues a major business transformation amidst operational and financial pressures.
1-800-Flowers.com specializes in delivering floral arrangements, gourmet food baskets, and a variety of gifts to consumers primarily through its e-commerce platform. Its operations include both direct-to-consumer sales and a wholesale business servicing independent florists via the BloomNet network.
The company’s success depends on brand strength, its Celebrations Passport loyalty program, and the ability to deliver gifts consistently and efficiently all year. Management has recently stressed cost control, customer-centricity, technology improvements, and diversifying sales channels as foundation stones for a transformation aimed at long-term growth.
