Annual Report for Fiscal Year Ending June 29, 2025 (Form 10-K)
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" (MD&A) is intended to provide an understanding of our financial condition, change in financial condition, cash flow, liquidity and results of operations. The following MD&A discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements that appear elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company's plans, estimates and beliefs. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to any differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed under Item 1A - "Risk Factors."
Business Overview
The Company is a leading provider of gifts designed to help inspire customers to give more, connect more, and build more and better relationships. See Item 1in Part I for a detailed description of the Company's business.
Business Segments
The Company operates in the following three business segments: Consumer Floral & Gifts, Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets, and BloomNet. The Consumer Floral & Gifts segment includes the operations of the Company's flagship brand, 1-800-Flowers.com, Personalization Mall, Things Remembered, FruitBouquets.com, Flowerama and Alice's Table, while the Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets segment includes the operations of Harry & David, Wolferman's Bakery, Vital Choice, Moose Munch, Cheryl's Cookies, Mrs. Beasley's, The Popcorn Factory, DesignPac, 1-800-Baskets.com, Simply Chocolate, Shari's Berries, and Scharffen Berger. The BloomNet segment includes the operations of BloomNet, Napco, and Card Isle.
Fiscal 2025 Results
Fiscal 2025 was a challenging year from a top and bottom line perspective. The broader macro-economic conditions have continued to impact our consumers. We have seen consumer confidence and sentiment decline in response to various uncertainties, including potential tariff impacts on inflation, a softening labor market, and shifting economic policies.
During fiscal 2025, net revenues decreased by $145.8 million, or 8.0%, to $1,685.7 million, compared to fiscal 2024, primarily due to continued slowing demand for everyday gifting occasions as discretionary income remains under pressure and consumers continue to moderate their spending. In addition, the Company experienced a highly promotional consumer environment during the holidays.
Gross margins declined throughout the year, ending at 38.7%; a 140-basis point decrease over fiscal 2024, primarily due to higher cost of merchandise and deleveraging of fixed costs.
Net loss was $200.0 million, compared with a net loss of $6.1 million in fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2025 was $29.2 million, compared with $93.1 million in fiscal 2024, reflecting a decline in Adjusted EBITDA of $63.9 million, driven by lower sales, reduced gross margin and increased advertising costs (See Reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) below).
Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment
During the quarter ended March 30, 2025, the Company evaluated whether events or circumstances had changed such that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its goodwill, intangibles, and other long-lived assets were less than their carrying amounts. After consideration of then current operating results, changes in macro-economic conditions, and a decline in the Company's market capitalization, the Company concluded that a triggering event had occurred for its Consumer Floral & Gifts reporting unit. As such, the Company performed an impairment test of the reporting unit's goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets as of March 30, 2025, andrecorded a non-cash goodwill and intangible impairment charge of $138.2 million, comprised of $113.4 million related to goodwill and $24.8 millionattributable to the Personalization Mall tradename (indefinite-lived intangible asset). The Company concluded that definite-lived and other long-lived assets of the reporting unit were not impaired. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company recorded an immaterial adjustment of $5.6 million to increase the previously recognized non-cash goodwill impairment charge. The adjustment was the result of a change in the estimated allocation of the impairment charge between goodwill that is deductible and non-deductible for tax purposes.
In fiscal 2024, during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, as a result of a decline in the actual and projected revenue for the Company's Personalization Mall tradename, as well as a higher discount rate resulting from the higher interest rate environment, the Company determined that an impairment assessment was required for this tradename. This assessment resulted in the Company recording a non-cash impairment charge of $19.8 million to reduce the recorded carrying value of the Personalization Mall tradename.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company evaluated whether events or circumstances had changed such that it would indicate it was more likely than not that its goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets of the Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets reporting units fair values were less than their carrying amounts. After considering the continuing pressures on consumer discretionary spending, ongoing geopolitical events, the current inflationary macro-economic conditions, related cost input headwinds that have negatively impacted the Company's gross margins, and resulting downward revisions to its forecast, the Company concluded that a triggering event had occurred for its Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets reporting unit. As such, the Company performed an impairment test of the reporting unit's goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets as of April 2, 2023, and recorded a non-cash adjustment to fully impair the related goodwill of $62.3 million, and partially impaired certain tradenames totaling $2.3 million within the reporting unit -See Note 7 - Goodwill and Other Intangibles, Net in Item 15.
Acquisition of Scharffen Berger
On July 1, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of certain assets of Scharffen Berger®, a chocolate manufacturing company, expanding the Company's product offerings in the Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets Segment. The Company used cash on its balance sheet to fund the approximately $3.3 million purchase. Scharffen Berger annual revenues and results of operations, based on its most recently available financial information at the time of acquisition, are deemed immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements and, as such, pro forma results of operations have not been presented - see Note 4 - Acquisitions in Item 15.
Acquisition of Card Isle
On April 3, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of certain assets of Card Isle, an e-commerce greeting card company, expanding the Company's presence in the greeting card category across all brands. The Company used cash on its balance sheet to fund the $3.6 million purchase. Card Isle annual revenue and results of operations, based on its most recently available financial information at the time of acquisition, are deemed immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements - see Note 4 - Acquisitions in Item 15.
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 its balance sheet to fund the $5.0 million purchase, which included intellectual property, a 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 at the time of the acquisition was $30.4 million for the twelve months ended November 30, 2022 - see Note 4 - Acquisitions in Item 15.
Fiscal 2026
The Company is approaching fiscal 2026 as a pivotal period of foundation setting. By transforming the Company into a customer-centric, data-driven organization with clear objectives and return on investment-focused decision making, the Company aims to position itself to support its multi-year Celebrations strategy and fuel future growth.
The Company's strategic priorities are focused on positioning the organization for long-term growth. These priorities include:
•driving cost savings and organizational efficiency,
•building a customer-centric and data-driven organization,
•broadening our reach beyond our e-commerce sites into new channels, and
•strengthening our team through enhanced talent and accountability.
With a renewed commitment to agility and customer-centricity, the Company believes these foundational steps will set the stage for sustainable revenue and profit growth in the years to come.
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, and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are referred to as "non-GAAP", "adjusted" or "on a comparable basis" 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 imply a degree of precision that 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.
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 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-related metrics 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 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 and Adjusted EBITDA should only be used on a supplemental basis combined with GAAP results when evaluating the Company's performance.
The following table presents the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal years ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. For EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2023, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2023.

Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted or comparable net income (loss) per common share
We define adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted or comparable net income (loss) per common share as net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share adjusted for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. We believe that adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted or comparable net income (loss) per common share 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 income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share, as indicators of operating performance and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
The following table presents the adjusted net loss for fiscal years ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024. For adjusted net income for fiscal year ended July 2, 2023, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2023.

Segment contribution margin and adjusted segment contribution margin
We define segment contribution margin as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, before the allocation of corporate overhead expenses. Adjusted segment contribution margin is defined as contribution margin adjusted for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. When viewed together with our GAAP results, we believe segment contribution margin and adjusted segment contribution margin provide management and users of the financial statements meaningful information about the performance of our business segments.
Segment contribution margin and adjusted segment contribution margin are 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 and adjusted segment contribution margin is that they are 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 (loss) and Net Income (loss).
The following table presents the net revenues, gross profit, segment contribution margin, and adjusted segment contribution margin from each of the Company's business segments, for fiscal years ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024. For segment contribution margin and adjusted segment contribution margin for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2023, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2023.

(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, stock-based compensation, as well as changes in the fair value of the Company's NQDC Plan. 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.
(c)See reconciliation of the Company's net loss to Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) above.
Free Cash Flow
We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) 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.
The following table reconciles net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, a GAAP measure, to free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure.

Net revenues consist primarily of the selling price of the merchandise, service or outbound shipping charges, less discounts, returns and credits. The Company's net revenues from international sources were not material during fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023.
During the fiscal year ended June 29, 2025, net revenues decreased 8.0%in comparison to the prior year, due to lower order volume across all segments, reflecting a continuation of the trend we have experienced over the past few years as discretionary income remains pressured and consumers continue to moderate their spending. In addition, the Company experienced the impact of inefficient marketing spend, as well as a highly promotional consumer environment during the holidays.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, net revenues decreased 9.2% in comparison to the prior year, due to lower order volume across all segments, as discretionary income remained pressured and consumers continued to moderate their spending. Contributing to this decline was the prudent use of advertising spend, to balance the long-term goals of the Company with strategies to improve gross margins and tightly control operating expenses during this challenging economic environment.

Revenue by sales channel:
•E-commerce revenues (combined online and telephonic)decreased 9.3% during fiscal 2025, primarily as a result of a decline in demand across all our segments, attributable to the macro-economic conditions noted above, the impact of inefficient marketing spend, and a highly promotional consumer environment. The Company had lower order volumes (17.3 million, -8.2% vs. prior year) coupled with slightly lower average order value ($84.72, -1.1% vs prior year) as a result of product mix trending into lower price point items.
E-commerce revenues decreased 7.5% during fiscal 2024, primarily as a result of a decline in demand for "Everyday" gifts across all our segments, attributable to the macro-economic conditions noted above, which negatively impacted consumer discretionary spending, combined with planned reductions in advertising spend. Lower order volumes (18.8 million, -9.9% vs. prior year) were slightly offset by higher average order value ($85.70, +2.7% vs prior year) as a result of product mix trending into higher price point items, including bundles, and customer mix with higher income customers buying at a higher rate than lower income customers.
•Other revenuesare 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 increased 1.8% during fiscal 2025primarily due to higher wholesale volumes within the Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets segment due to increased orders from big box retailers, which was partially offset by lower BloomNet revenues due to lower order volume through the network, including our 1-800-Flowers® brand.
Other revenues decreased 20.5%during fiscal 2024primarily due to lower order volume from big box retailers, as well as lower BloomNet Wholesale and Service revenues. The lower service revenues were due to lower shop-to-shop volumes.
Revenue by segment:
Consumer Floral & Gifts- this segment, which includes the operations of the 1-800-Flowers.com®, Personalization Mall®, Things Remembered® and Alice's Table brands®, 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 decreased 8.6% during fiscal 2025, due to the continued macro-economic pressure, a highly promotional consumer environment, and the impact of inefficient marketing spend.
Net revenues decreased 7.7% during fiscal 2024, due to the continued reduction of "Everyday" product demand, and weaker than anticipated Valentine's Day and Mother's Day demand, as consumers' discretionary spending remained cautious in the inflationary environment, combined with planned reductions in advertising spend, as our brands focused their efforts on improving gross margin and operating spend efficiency, in the face of softening demand.
BloomNet®- revenues in this segment are derived from membership fees, as well as other product and service offerings.
Net revenues decreased 8.4% during fiscal 2025, due to lower service revenue, which was attributable to a decline in order volume processed through the network, as well as lower wholesale product sales.
Net revenues decreased 19.1% during fiscal 2024, due to soft wholesale product sales, as the result of weakness in demand across the industry and lower service revenue. The lower service revenue was attributable to reduced membership/transaction fee revenues, as well as lower florist-to-florist revenue associated with a decline in order volume processed through the network, and lower directory services ad revenues.
Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets- this segment includes the operations of Harry & David®, Wolferman's Bakery®, Cheryl's Cookies®, The Popcorn Factory®, 1-800-Baskets.com®/DesignPac®, Shari's Berries®, Vital Choice®, and since July 1, 2024, Scharffen Berger®. 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 Cookies brand names, as well as wholesale operations.
Net revenues decreased 7.2% during fiscal 2025, as e-commerce revenues declined 10.1% due to lower demand and the impact of inefficient marketing spend, partially offset by increased wholesale volume as big box retailers increased orders in the current year. In addition, the implementation of a new order management system for our Harry & David brand negatively impacted sales during the holiday period in fiscal 2025.
Net revenues decreased 9.4% during fiscal 2024, as e-commerce declined 7.2% due to lower consumer demand, as a result of macro-economic weakness, which significantly reduced "Everyday" occasion volumes, combined with planned reductions in advertising spend, as the brands focused their efforts on improving gross margins and operating spend efficiency in the face of softening demand. The unfavorable revenue trend was attributable to lower order volume, partially offset by favorable average order value as a result of product mix including more bundles and other higher priced offerings as higher income customers continued to buy at a higher rate. Wholesale/Retail channel revenues were unfavorable to prior year primarily due to lower order volume from big box retailers.

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 decreased 11.2%during fiscal 2025due to lower revenues, as well as a decline in gross margin of 140 basis points compared with fiscal 2024 due to declines within the Consumer Floral & Gifts and the Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets segments, partially offset by an increase in gross profit in the Company's BloomNet segment.
Gross profit decreased 3.0%during fiscal 2024due to the lower revenues noted above, partially offset by a higher gross margin percentage, driven by favorable product mix, lower freight costs, a decline in commodity costs, and the Company's logistics optimization efforts. Gross margins improved throughout the year ending at 40.1%; a 260-basis point improvement over fiscal 2023.
Consumer Floral & Gifts segment- Gross profit in fiscal 2025 in comparison to prior year decreased by 11.9%, due to the impact of the lower revenues noted above, as well as an unfavorable gross profit percentage primarily attributable to higher cost of merchandise and deleveraging of fixed costs resulting from lower sales volumes.
Gross profit in fiscal 2024 decreasedin comparison to prior year by 4.5%, due to the unfavorable revenues noted above, partially offset by favorable gross profit percentage attributable to favorable product mix into higher margin direct fulfilled sales, favorable fulfillment costs, as well as lower inbound and outbound shipping cost.
BloomNet segment- Gross profit in fiscal 2025 from the BloomNet segment decreased in comparison to prior year by 7.9%, due to the impact of lower revenues noted above, offset in part by improved gross profit percentage driven by lower florist rebates related to lower florist-to-florist volume.
Gross profit in fiscal 2024 from the BloomNet segment decreased in comparison to prior year by 8.6%, due to the unfavorable revenues noted above, partially offset by an increase in gross margin percentage. Gross margin percentage was higher than prior year due to lower florist rebates, which was driven by the lower shop-to-shop volume mainly from partners that carried higher contracted rates. In addition, wholesale margins, improved as a result of strategic pricing initiatives and lower cost of merchandise due to more favorable ocean freight rates.
Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets segment- Gross profit in fiscal 2025 decreased in comparison to prior year by 9.0%, due to the decrease in revenue noted above, as well as decreased gross profit percentage attributable to higher cost of merchandise, deleveraging of fixed costs resulting from lower sales volumes, and incremental costs associated with the implementation of a new order management system for the Harry & David brand.
Gross profit in fiscal 2024 decreased in comparison to prior year by 0.6%, due to the unfavorable revenues noted above, partially offset by favorable gross profit percentage. The favorable gross profit percentage was primarily due to lower delivery and shipping costs as logistical initiatives allowed the group to decrease shipping costs. Favorable cost of merchandise (favorable inbound ocean freight and lower commodity costs), along with the Company's inventory and labor optimization efforts, also contributed to the improved margin percentage. In addition, the brand benefited from favorable product mix due to the continued gap in buying behavior of higher income customers continuing to purchase higher priced merchandise with strong margins, while lower income customers continue to tighten their discretionary spending.

Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $13.4 millionduring fiscal 2025, an income tax expense of $0.2 million in fiscal 2024, and an income tax benefit of $2.1 million in fiscal 2023, resulting in an effective tax rate of 6.3%, (3.4%)and 4.4%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to establishing a valuation allowance on certain federal and state deferred tax assets (including charitable contribution carryforwards) and the permanent portion of goodwill impairment charges. The Company's effective tax rate for fiscal 2024 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state taxes, increases in valuation allowances, and tax shortfalls related to stock-based compensation, partially offset by enhanced deductions and various tax credits. The Company's effective tax rate for fiscal 2023 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the impact of the non-deductible portion of the Company's impairment charge, as well as state income taxes and non-deductible expenses for executive compensation, tax shortfalls related to stock-based compensation, partially offset by enhanced deductions and various tax credits.
At June 29, 2025, the Company had $22.0 million of indefinite lived federal net operating losses, $110.4 million of state net operating loss carryforwards, some of which will begin to expire in fiscal 2026 to the extent not utilized and $5.4 million of foreign net operating loss carryforward which will begin to expire in fiscal 2034 if not utilized. At June 29, 2025, the Company's federal charitable contribution carryforwards were $21.9 million, which will begin to expire in fiscal 2027 if not utilized. At June 29, 2025, the Company's research and development and work opportunity credit carryforwards were $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively, which will both begin to expire in fiscal 2045 if not utilized.
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 10 - Long-Term Debt, Net in Part IV, Item 15for details). At June 29, 2025, the Company had working capitalof $61.3 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $46.5 million, compared to net working capital of $157.9 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $159.4 million at June 30, 2024.
Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, and its continued expansion into non-floral products, the Thanksgiving through Christmas holiday season, which falls within the Company's second fiscal quarter, generates over 40% ofthe 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.
During the first two quarters of fiscal 2025, the Company borrowed under its revolving credit facility in order to fund pre-holiday manufacturing and inventory procurement requirements, with borrowings peaking at $110.0 million in November 2024. Cash generated from operations during the Christmas holiday shopping season enabled the Company to repay the borrowings under the revolving credit facility in December 2024. The Company had no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of June 29, 2025. In addition, during fiscal 2025, the Company made payments of $30.0 million on its Term Loan, which included a $25.0 million voluntary prepayment.
Based on our year-end cash balances, combined with projected cash flows, the Company expects to borrow under its revolving credit facility to fund pre-holiday manufacturing and inventory purchases during the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company expects to be able to repay all working capital borrowings prior to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
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 for operating activities of $26.4 million for fiscal 2025 was primarily attributable to uses of cash for working capital purposes, comprised of decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and increases in trade receivables and prepaid and other.
Net cash used in investing activities of $44.5 million was attributable to capital expenditures primarily related to the Company's technology and automation initiatives, and the acquisition of Scharffen Berger as noted above.
Net cash used in financing activities of $42.1 million related primarily to net repayment of bank borrowings of $30.0 million, which included a $25.0 million voluntary prepayment on the Company's term loan, and the acquisition of treasury stock of $10.2 million.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow was a negative $67.8 million for fiscal 2025, compared with free cash flow of positive $56.4 million for fiscal 2024, a decrease of $124.2 million primarily driven by a decrease in cash flows from operations, driven by lower net income, adjusted for non-cash items, as well as timing of changes in working capital. Refer to "Definitions of non-GAAP financial measures" for reconciliation of non-GAAP results to applicable GAAP results.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc., which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the financial statements. As disclosed in Note 2, the preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue 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. We consider accounting estimates to be critical if both: (i) the nature of the estimate or assumption is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment involved, and (ii) the impact within a reasonable range of outcomes of the estimate and assumption is material to the Company's financial condition. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are the same and relate to goodwill and other intangible assets. Management of the Company has discussed the selection of critical accounting estimates and the effect of estimates with the audit committee of the Company's Board of Directors.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in each business combination, with the carrying value of the Company's goodwill allocated to its reporting units, in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized, but it is subject to an annual assessment for impairment, which the Company performs during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company identifies its reporting units by assessing whether the components of its operating segments constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and management of each reporting unit regularly reviews the operating results of those components.
In applying the goodwill impairment test, the Company has the option to perform a qualitative test (also known as "Step 0") or a quantitative test ("Step 1"). Under the Step 0 test, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance of the reporting unit and other entity and reporting unit specific events. If after assessing these qualitative factors, the Company determines it is "more-likely-than-not" that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, then performing the Step 1 quantitative test is necessary.
Step 1 of the quantitative test requires comparison of the fair value of each of the reporting units to the respective carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is less than the fair value, no impairment exists. Otherwise, the Company would 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.
The Company generally estimates the fair value of a reporting unit using an equal weighting of the income and market approaches. The Company uses industry accepted valuation models and set criteria that are reviewed and approved by various levels of management. Under the income approach, the Company uses a discounted cash flow methodology, which requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasted revenues, gross profit margins, operating income margins, working capital cash flow, perpetual growth rates, and long-term discount rates, among others. For the market approach, the Company uses the guideline public company method. Under this method, the Company utilizes information from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting units, to create valuation multiples that are applied to the operating performance of the reporting unit being tested, in order to obtain their respective fair values. The Company also reconciles the aggregate fair values of its reporting units determined in the first step (as described above) to its current market capitalization, allowing for a reasonable control premium.
During fiscal 2025, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $119.0 millionrelated to the Company's Consumer Floral & Gifts reporting unit. The goodwill was written down to its respective fair value resulting in zero excess fair value over carrying amount as of the impairment test date, resulting in a risk of future impairments if any assumptions (including changes in segments), estimates, or market factors change in the future. The carrying value of the Company's Consumer Floral & Gifts reporting unit as of June 29, 2025, is $34.6 million.

Other Intangibles, net
Other intangibles consist of definite-lived intangible assets (such as investment in licenses, customer lists, and others) and indefinite-lived intangible assets (such as acquired tradenames and trademarks). The cost of definite-lived intangible assets is amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed, over the estimated periods benefited, ranging from 3 to 16 years, while indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized.
Definite-lived intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever changes in circumstances or events may indicate that the carrying amounts are not recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, a recoverability test is performed comparing projected undiscounted cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of an asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the projected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, then an impairment charge would be recorded for the excess of the carrying value over the fair value, which is determined by discounting future cash flows.
The Company tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually, during the fourth quarter, or whenever changes in circumstances or events may indicate that the carrying amounts are not recoverable. In applying the impairment test, the Company has the option to perform a qualitative test (also known as "Step 0") or a quantitative test. Under the Step 0 test, the Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. Qualitative factors may include, but are not limited, to economic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, financial performance, legal and other entity and asset specific events. If, after assessing these qualitative factors, the Company determines it is "more-likely-than-not" that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then performing the quantitative test is necessary. The quantitative impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets encompasses calculating a fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and comparing the fair value to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, impairment is recognized for the difference. To determine fair value of other indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company uses an income approach, the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to obtain the rights to use the comparable asset. Other indefinite-lived intangible assets' fair values require significant judgments in determining both the assets' estimated cash flows, including the perpetual growth rate, as well as the appropriate discount and royalty rates applied to those cash flows to determine fair value.
During fiscal 2025, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $24.8 millionrelated to the Company's Personalization Mall tradename. The indefinite-lived intangible was written down to its respective fair value resulting in zero excess fair value over carrying amount as of the impairment test date, resulting in a risk of future impairments if any assumptions, estimates, or market factors change in the future. The carrying value of the Company's Personalization Mall tradename as of June 29, 2025, is $21.2 million.
