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 for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended October 1, 2017September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 1, 2018.June 30, 2019. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2017.1, 2018.
The Company’sCompany’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 generategenerates nearly 50% of the Company’s annual revenues, and all of its earnings. Additionally, due to 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 in comparison to its fiscal first quarter. In fiscal 2017,2018, Easter was on April 16th,1st, which resulted in the shift of some revenue and EBITDA from the Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2016. In fiscal 2018, Easter falls on April 1st, which will result in the shift of all Easter-related revenue and EBITDA into the Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2018. Easter falls on April 21st in 2019, which will result in the shift of most Easter-related e-commerce and retail revenue and associated EBITDA, from the Company’s third quarter, to its fourth 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.
Recent Accounting PronouncementsRevenue 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 “Passport” Free Shipping program.
Our total deferred revenue as of July 1, 2018 was $13.5 million (included in “Accrued expenses” on our consolidated balance sheets), of which, $9.5 million was recognized as revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2018. The deferred revenue balance as of September 30, 2018 was $13.9 million.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements- Adopted
Revenue from Contracts with Customers.In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This amended guidance will enhance the comparability ofamending revenue recognition practicesguidance (“ASC 606”) and will be appliedrequiring more detailed disclosures to all contracts with customers. Expanded disclosures relatedenable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized are requirements under the amended guidance. As we continue to evaluate the impact of this ASU, we haveand cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company determined that the new standard will impactimpacted the following areas:areas related to our e-commerce and retail revenue streams: the costs of producing and distributing the Company’sCompany’s catalogs will be expensed upon shipment,mailing, instead of being capitalized and amortized in direct proportion to the actual sales; gift card breakage will be estimated based onrecognized over the historical pattern of gift cardexpected customer redemption period, rather than when redemption is considered remote; e-commerce revenue will be recognized upon shipment, when control of the Company will defer revenue at the time the Celebrations Reward loyalty points are earned using a relative fair value approach, rather than accruing a liability equalmerchandise transfers to the incremental costcustomer, instead of fulfilling its obligations. We have further identifiedupon receipt by the timing of revenue recognition for e-commerce orders (shipping point versus destination) as a potential issue in our analysis, which is not expected to change the total amount of revenue recognized, but could accelerate the timing of when revenue is recognized. We plan to adopt this guidance beginning with the first quarter in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019 on a retrospective basis with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. We are continuing to evaluate the impact that this ASU, and related amendments and interpretive guidance, will have on our consolidated financial statements, including the related disclosures.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330).” The pronouncement was issued to simplify the measurement of inventory and changes the measurement from lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. customer. The Company adopted this standardASU effective July 3, 2017.2, 2018 for all revenue contracts with our customers using the modified retrospective approach and increased retained earnings by $1.1 million. The adjustment primarily related to the unredeemed portion of our gift cards (breakage income), which increased retained earnings and reduced accrued expenses by $1.9 million, partially offset by the change in accounting for the Company’s catalogs, which decreased retained earnings and decreased prepaid expense by $0.8 million. The comparative information presented in this Form 10-Q has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-11 did notthe new revenue standard to have a significantmaterial impact to our net income on an ongoing, annual basis. However, the adoption of the new revenue standard is expected to result in quarterly fluctuations, primarily as a result of the change in accounting for catalog costs, as noted above. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, assuming we had not adopted the new revenue standard, “Marketing and sales” expense, within our statement of operations, would have been approximately $1.6 million lower, thereby decreasing our Net Loss by approximately $1.2 million (tax effected). The Company’s consolidated financial position or resultscontract liabilities related to gift cards ($1.5 million as of operations.September 30, 2018) are not considered material for purposes of this disclosure. Refer to Note 12 – Business Segments for disclosure of disaggregated revenues.
Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement.In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.Liabilities," as amended by ASU No. 2018-03, “Financial Instruments-Overall: Technical Corrections and Improvements,” issued in February 2018. The pronouncementnew guidance requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income (subject to an exemption for investments that have no readily determinable fair values), requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. ThisUpon adoption of the new guidance, will becomewe have elected to measure the investments we hold in certain non-marketable equity securities in which we do not have a controlling interest or significant influence that have no readily determinable fair values at cost, less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes from orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. The Company adopted the guidance prospectively effective for the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 2019.July 2, 2018. The adoption isdid not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.position or results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), a consensus of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force.” ASU 2016-15 is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the guidance restrospectively, effective July 2, 2018. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Business Combinations – Definition of a Business. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (ASU 2017-01)," which revises the definition of a business and provides new guidance in evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The Company adopted the guidance prospectively, effective July 2, 2018. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Nonfinancial Assets – Derecognition. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets.” This update clarifies the scope of accounting for the derecognition or partial sale of nonfinancial assets to exclude all businesses and nonprofit activities. ASU 2017-05 also provides a definition for in-substance nonfinancial assets and additional guidance on partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The Company adopted the guidance retrospectively, effective July 2, 2018. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Stock Compensation – Modification Accounting. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” This ASU provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting. An entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. The Company adopted the guidance prospectively, to awards modified on or after the adoption date, effective July 2, 2018. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Cloud Computing Arrangements – Implementation Costs. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” The amendments in this ASU align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by this ASU. The amendments in this Update also require the entity (customer) to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement, require the entity to present the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs in the same line item in the statement of income as the fees associated with the hosting element (service) of the arrangement and classify payments for capitalized implementation costs in the statement of cash flows in the same manner as payments made for fees associated with the hosting element and also require the entity to present the capitalized implementation costs in the statement of financial position in the same line item that a prepayment for the fees of the associated hosting arrangement would be presented. The Company adopted the guidance prospectively, to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption, effective July 2, 2018. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – Not Yet Adopted
Leases.In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 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. This guidance is effective for the Company’sCompany’s fiscal year ending June 28, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact andASU, but expect the ASUthat it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, primarily to the consolidated balance sheets and related disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” ASU No. 2016-09 affects all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. ASU No. 2016-09 simplifies several aspectsFinancial Instruments – Measurement of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company elected to early adopt the amendments in ASU 2016-09, in fiscal 2017. As a result, stock-based compensation excess tax benefits are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of the provision for income taxes, whereas they were previously recognized in equity. This change resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits against income tax expenses, rather than additional paid-in capital, of $1.0 million for the year ended July 2, 2017. There was no impact on earnings per share since approximately 700,000 tax benefit shares for the year ended July 2, 2017, previously associated with the APIC pool calculation, are no longer considered in the diluted share computation. Additionally, our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows now present excess tax benefits as an operating activity. This change has been applied prospectively in accordance with the ASU and prior periods have not been adjusted. Further, the Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures. The cumulative effect of this change, which was recorded as compensation expense in fiscal 2017, was not material to the financial statements. In addition, this ASU allows entities to withhold an amount up to an employees’ maximum individual statutory tax rate in the relevant jurisdiction, up from the minimum statutory requirement, without resulting in liability classification of the award. We adopted this change on a modified retrospective basis, with no impact to our consolidated financial statements. Finally, this ASU clarified that the cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity. This change does not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financials as it conforms with its current practice.
Credit Losses.In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 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’sentity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending July 4, 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.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), a consensus of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force.” ASU 2016-15 is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (ASU 2017-01)," which revises the definition of a business and provides new guidance in evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied prospectively. We do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill – Impairment Test. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment," which eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, 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’sCompany’s fiscal year ending July 4, 2021, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied prospectively. We do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In FebruaryU.S. Tax Reform
On December 22, 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income - GainsU.S. government enacted significant changes to the U.S. tax law following the passage and Lossessigning of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act revises the future ongoing U.S. corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering U. S. corporate income tax rates from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets.” This update clarifies the scope of accounting for the derecognition or partial sale of nonfinancial assets35% to exclude all businesses and nonprofit activities. ASU 2017-05 also provides a definition for in-substance nonfinancial assets and additional guidance on partial sales of nonfinancial assets. This guidance will be effective for21%. As the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2019ended on July 1, 2018, the lower corporate income tax rate was phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 28% for fiscal year 2018, and may be applied retrospectively.21% for subsequent fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluatingTax Act also eliminates the potentialdomestic production activities deduction and introduces limitations on certain business expenses and executive compensation deductions.
On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued guidance under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, "Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" (“SAB 118”) directing taxpayers to consider the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.the Tax Act as “provisional” when it does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete its accounting for the change in tax law. The changes in the Tax Act are broad and complex. The final impacts of the Tax Act may differ from the Company’s estimates due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, further legislation related to the Tax Act, changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act, or any updates to estimates the Company has utilized to calculate the impacts of the Tax Act. The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued rules that would allow for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the related tax impacts.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope
Note 2 – Net LossIncome (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic netnet loss per common share is computed using 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 employee stock options and unvested restricted stock awards), as their inclusion would be antidilutive. As a result of the net loss attributable to 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017, and October 2, 2016, there is no dilutive impact to the net loss per share calculation for the respective periods.
Note 3 – Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has a Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan, which is more fully described in Note 12 and Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2017,1, 2018, that provides for the grant to eligible employees, consultants and directors of stock options, restricted shares, and other stock-based awards.

Note 7– Investments
Equity investments accounted for under the equity method
The Company has certain investments in non-marketable equity instruments of private companies. The Company accounts for these investments using the equity method if they provide the Company the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if the Company has an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee’sinvestee’s Board of Directors, are considered in determining whether the equity method is appropriate. The Company records equity method investments initially at cost and adjusts the carrying amount to reflect the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee.
The Company’sCompany’s equity method investment is comprised of a 29.6%an interest in Flores Online, a Sao Paulo, Brazil based internet floral and gift retailer, that the Company madeoriginally acquired on May 31, 2012. The Company currently holds 24.9% of the outstanding shares of Flores Online. The book value of this investment was $1.0$0.6 million as of October 1, 2017September 30, 2018 and July 2, 2017,1, 2018, and is included withinin the “Other assets” inline item within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s equity in the net loss of Flores Online for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017 and October 2, 2016 was less than $0.1 million. During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, Flores Online entered into a share exchange agreement with Isabella Flores, whereby among other changes, the Company exchanged 5% of its interest in Flores Online for a 5% interest in Isabella Flores. This new investment of approximately $0.1 million is currently being accounted as an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value (see below). In conjunction with this share exchange, the Company determined that the fair value of its investment in Flores Online was below its carrying value and that this decline was other-than-temporary. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.2 million, which is included within “Other (income) expense, net” in the Company’s consolidated statement of income during the quarter ended December 31, 2017.
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 underat cost, less impairment (assessed qualitatively at each reporting period), adjusted for observable price changes from orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the cost method. Cost methodsame issuer. These investments are originally recorded at cost, and are included within “Other assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The aggregate carrying amount of the Company’s cost method investments was $1.7 million as of October 1, 2017September 30, 2018 and July 2, 2017.1, 2018.
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 condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements).
Each reporting period, the Company uses available qualitative and quantitative information to evaluate its investments for impairment. When a decline in fair value, if any, is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

NoteNote 10 - 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. The Company’sCompany’s equity investments in non-marketable equity instrumentsare recorded based on the specific type of private companies are carried at cost and are periodically assessedinvestment – see Note 7 above for other-than-temporary impairment, when an event or circumstances indicate that an other-than-temporary decline in value may have occurred.details. 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:

The effective rate for fiscal years2019 was impacted by changes associated with the Tax Act (see Note 1 - Accounting Policies above). The effective rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible expenses for executive compensation, which were partially offset by various tax credits and other permanent differences.

The resulting gain on sale of $14.6 million, is included within “Other (income) expense, net” in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the fiscal year 2017.
The Company and Ferrero also entered into a transition services agreement whereby the Company will provide certain post-closing services to Ferrero and Fannie May for a period of approximately 18 months, related to the business of Fannie May, and a commercial agreement with respect to the distribution of certain Ferrero and Fannie May products.
Operating results of Fannie May are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements through May 30, 2017, the date of its disposition, within its Gourmet Food & Gift Baskets segment. Refer to Category Information and Results of Operations below for a comparison of fiscal 2018 results to fiscal 2017, adjusted to exclude the operations of Fannie May.
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 CommissionSEC rules. See below for definitions and the reasons why we use these non-GAAP financial measures. Where applicable, see the CategorySegment Information and Results of Operations sections below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Comparable revenues
Comparable revenues measure GAAP revenues adjusted for the effects of acquisitions, dispositions, and other items affecting period to period comparability. See Category Information for details on how comparable revenues were calculated for each period presented.
We believe that this measure provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying revenue trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of activities which are subject to volatility and can obscure underlying trends.
Management recognizes that the term "comparable revenues" may be interpreted differently by other companies and under different circumstances. Although this may influence comparability of absolute percentage growth from company to company, we believe that these These non-GAAP financial measures are useful in assessing trends of the Company and its segments, and may therefore bereferred to as “adjusted" or “on a useful tool in assessing period-to-period performance trends.comparable basis” below, as these terms are used interchangeably.
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 basedof stock-based compensation, Non-Qualified Plan Investment appreciation/depreciation, and for certain items affecting period to period comparability. See CategorySegment Information for details on how EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA were calculated for each period presented.
The Company presents EBITDA because it considers such information a meaningful supplemental measuresmeasure 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 used 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 measure compliance with covenants such as interest coverage and debt incurrence. 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.
Category contribution margin and adjusted categorySegment contribution margin
We define categorysegment contribution margin as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, before the allocation of corporate overhead expenses. Adjusted category contribution margin is defined as category contribution margin adjusted for certain items affecting period to period comparability. See CategorySegment Information for details on how categorysegment contribution margin and comparable category contribution margin werewas calculated for each period presented.
When viewed together with our GAAP results, we believe categorysegment contribution margin and comparable category contribution margin provideprovides management and users of the financial statements information about the performance of our business segments.
CategorySegment contribution margin and comparable category contribution margin areis 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 the category contribution margin and adjusted categorysegment contribution margin is that it is an incomplete measure of profitability as it does not include all operating expenses or non-operating income and expenses. Management compensates for these limitations when using this measure by looking at other GAAP measures, such as operating income and net income.
Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per common share
We define adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per common share as net loss and net loss per common share adjusted for certain items affecting period to period comparability. See Category Information below for details on how adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per common share were calculated for each period presented.
We believe that Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted EPS 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 loss and net loss per common share, as indicators of operating performance and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Net cash used in investing activities of $12.5 million for the three months ended October 1, 2017, was primarily attributable to the working capital adjustment related to the sale of Fannie May, of which $8.5 million was still due to Ferrero at July 2, 2017 and to capital expenditures related to the Company's technology initiatives and Gourmet Foods & Gift Basket segment manufacturing production and orchard planting equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities of 5.8 million for the three months ended October 1, 2017 was primarily related to the acquisition of $4.3 million of treasury stock and term loan repayments of $1.4 million. Due to cash on hand from the sale of Fannie May, during the quarter ended October 1, 2017, the Company did not need to draw from its revolving credit facility during the current quarter, as it did in the prior year. The Company expects that it will be required to draw down on its revolver during the second quarter of the fiscal year 2018, although to a much more limited extent in comparison to prior year due to the use of cash generated from the sale of Fannie May, and expects that all borrowings under its revolving credit facility will be repaid by the end of the fiscal second quarter.
Credit Facility
See Note 8 - Debt in Item 1 for details regarding the 2016 Amended Credit Agreement.
The Company believes that cash on hand, combined with cash flows from operations and available borrowings from its 2016 Credit Facility, will be a sufficient source of liquidity during fiscal 2018. Borrowings under the Revolver, which will be significantly lower than prior year as a result of cash generated from the sale of Fannie May, are expected to peak in November, at which time cash generated from operations during the Christmas holiday shopping season are expected to enable the Company to repay working capital borrowings prior to the end of December.Revolver. 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 nearly 50% of the Company’s annual revenues, and all of its earnings. As a result, the Company expects to generate significant cash from operations during its second quarter, which, after re-paying all borrowings outstanding under its Revolver, is expected to be sufficient to provideand then utilize that cash for operating needs until the second quarter ofduring its fiscal 2019, whenthird and fourth quarters, after which time, the Company expects to borrow against its Revolver to fund fiscal 2020 pre-holiday manufacturing and inventory purchases. Borrowings under the Revolver typically peak in November, at which time, cash generated from operations during the Christmas holiday shopping season are expected to enable the Company to repay working capital borrowings prior to the end of December.
We believe that our sources of funding will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating cash needs for at least the next 12 months. However, any projections of future cash needs and cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty. We continually evaluate opportunities to repurchase common stock and we 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 $109.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, was primarily attributable to the Company’s net loss during the period, combined with seasonal changes in working capital, including increases in inventory, receivables and prepaid expenses related to the upcoming holiday season and timing of payments related to accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by non-cash charges for depreciation/amortization and stock based compensation.
Net cash used in investing activities of $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, was primarily attributable to capital expenditures related to the Company's technology initiatives, and Gourmet Foods and Gift Baskets segment manufacturing and warehousing equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities of $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily related to the acquisition of $4.0 million of treasury stock and term loan repayments of $2.2 million. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Company’s Revolver as of September 30, 2018.
Stock Repurchase Program
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. The repurchase program is financed utilizing available cash. On August 30, 2017, the Company’sCompany’s Board of Directors authorized an increase to its stock repurchase plan of up to $30.0 million. As of October 1, 2017, $27.9September 30, 2018, $16.0 million remained authorized under the plan.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business related to the Company’sCompany’s contractual obligations as discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 2, 2017.1, 2018.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
As disclosed in the Company’sCompany’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2017,1, 2018, the discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc., 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 revenue recognition, accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived 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, 2017.1, 2018, except for the adoption of ASC 606 (see Note 1 -Accounting Policies in Item 1 above for details).
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
A discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements, both adopted and yet to be adopted, is included in Note 1 in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This amended guidance will enhance the comparability of revenue recognition practices and will be applied to all contracts with customers. Expanded disclosures related to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized are requirements under the amended guidance. As we continue to evaluate the impact of this ASU, we have determined that the new standard will impact the following areas: the costs of producing and distributing the Company’s catalogs will be expensed upon shipment, instead of being capitalized and amortized in direct proportion to the actual sales; gift card breakage will be estimated based on the historical pattern of gift card redemption, rather than when redemption is considered remote; the Company will defer revenue at the time the Celebrations Reward loyalty points are earned using a relative fair value approach, rather than accruing a liability equal to the incremental cost of fulfilling its obligations. We have further identified the timing of revenue recognition for e-commerce orders (shipping point versus destination) as a potential issue in our analysis, which is not expected to change the total amount of revenue recognized, but could accelerate the timing of when revenue is recognized. We plan to adopt this guidance beginning with the first quarter in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019 on a retrospective basis with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. We are continuing to evaluate the impact that this ASU, and related amendments and interpretive guidance, will have on our consolidated financial statements, including the related disclosures.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330).” The pronouncement was issued to simplify the measurement of inventory and changes the measurement from lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. The Company adopted this standard effective July 3, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The pronouncement requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. This guidance will become effective for the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. The adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 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. This guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 28, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact and expect the ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, primarily to the consolidated balance sheets and related disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” ASU No. 2016-09 affects all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. ASU No. 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company elected to early adopt the amendments in ASU 2016-09, in fiscal 2017. As a result, stock-based compensation excess tax benefits are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of the provision for income taxes, whereas they were previously recognized in equity. This change resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits against income tax expenses, rather than additional paid-in capital, of $1.0 million for the year ended July 2, 2017. There was no impact on earnings per share since approximately 700,000 tax benefit shares for the year ended July 2, 2017, previously associated with the APIC pool calculation, are no longer considered in the diluted share computation. Additionally, our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows now present excess tax benefits as an operating activity. This change has been applied prospectively in accordance with the ASU and prior periods have not been adjusted. Further, the Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures. The cumulative effect of this change, which was recorded as compensation expense in fiscal 2017, was not material to the financial statements. In addition, this ASU allows entities to withhold an amount up to an employees’ maximum individual statutory tax rate in the relevant jurisdiction, up from the minimum statutory requirement, without resulting in liability classification of the award. We adopted this change on a modified retrospective basis, with no impact to our consolidated financial statements. Finally, this ASU clarified that the cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity. This change does not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financials as it conforms with its current practice.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 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 2016-13 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending July 4, 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.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), a consensus of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force.” ASU 2016-15 is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (ASU 2017-01)," which revises the definition of a business and provides new guidance in evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied prospectively. We do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment," which eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, 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 year ending July 4, 2021, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied prospectively. We do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets.” This update clarifies the scope of accounting for the derecognition or partial sale of nonfinancial assets to exclude all businesses and nonprofit activities. ASU 2017-05 also provides a definition for in-substance nonfinancial assets and additional guidance on partial sales of nonfinancial assets. This guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2019 and may be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” This ASU provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting. An entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. ASU 2017-09 is effective for the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

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 filing for the fiscal year ended July 2, 20171, 2018 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.

We incorporate that section of that Form 10-K in this filing and investors should refer to it.
ITEM 33.. 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’sCompany’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. Due to the currently low rates of return the Company is receiving on its cash equivalents, the potential for a significant decrease in short-term interest rates is low and, therefore, a further decrease would not have a material impact on the Company’s interest income. 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 $0.1 million during the three months ended October 1, 2017, respectively.September 30, 2018.
ITEM 4.4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
