Grew total revenues 11 percent, or $66.7 million, to $670.7 million; online revenues grew 17.4 percent, 
or $53.4 million, to $360.9 million.

Accelerated the turnaround in our Plow & Hearth® home-and-garden business where we achieved 
approximately 13 percent revenue growth in the fiscal fourth quarter and six percent for the full year, reversing 
the prior year’s negative sales trend.

Completed the acquisitions of Cheryl&Co.®, a leading multi-channel retailer of cookies and other baked 
gifts, and the WineTasting Network®, a Napa Valley-based provider of winery services and direct-
marketer of wine gifts and wine clubs.

the floral category.  As a result, we cost-effec-
tively attracted more than 1.6 million new cus-
tomers during the second half of fiscal 2005 –
and 3.3 million for the full year – while keeping
customer acquisition cost below our targeted
$20 level.  Most important, we more than dou-
bled our revenue growth rate to 16 percent in
the second half of the fiscal year, compared with
6 percent in the first half and thereby achieved
total revenue growth of 11 percent for the full
year.  While the additional marketing and adver-
tising investments reduced our bottom-line
results, we believe the success of our efforts here
has provided excellent momentum toward
achieving our goal of solid, and increasingly
profitable, double-digit revenue growth during
fiscal 2006.  

During fiscal 2005 we revitalized key areas

of our business, built a strong position in
our Food, Wine and Gift Basket category

and initiated an effort to grow our Bloomnet®
florist business-to-business operations.  From
the standpoint of revenue growth, essentially,
the year was a tale of two halves.  During the
first half, we successfully revitalized our home
and yard business category – no small accom-
plishment considering the negative sales trend
we saw in fiscal 2004.  By focusing on improving
the merchandising and creative for our Plow &
Hearth® brand, we achieved solid year-over-year
comparable sales growth, highlighted by almost
13 percent growth in our fiscal fourth quarter.
On the “need for improvement” side,  total rev-
enue growth in the first half lagged our double-
digit targets.  In retrospect, we were not aggressive
enough in our marketing efforts for our core 
floral gift business.

Thus, in January, we launched an effort  to
significantly step up our marketing programs
and drive accelerated revenue growth.  This
effort was designed specifically to make us 
more aggressive in terms of new customer
acquisition under our flagship 1-800-FLOW-
ERS.COM® brand, leveraging what we believe is
the lowest cost to acquire a new customer in

Investing in New Opportunities

Also in January, we announced plans to

begin making investments to grow our
Bloomnet florist business-to-business

operations.  For almost 20 years, Bloomnet has
been a select network of florists representing,
typically, less than ten percent of the total num-
ber of florists in the country.  These florists were
carefully chosen for their exceptional design
capabilities and their willingness to adhere to
our stringent quality standards.  As a result,
Bloomnet has enabled us to consistently provide
our customers with the very best quality floral
gifts with unique same-day, any-day delivery
capabilities.   

In our new Bloomnet initiative, we are lever-
aging our leadership position in the floral indus-
try – including our growing order volume and
scalable technology platform – to offer select
florists throughout the country a compelling
opportunity to grow their businesses and
improve their profitability.  To accomplish 
this, beginning in the second half of fiscal 2005,
we have made, and will continue to make,
investments, primarily in the form of sales 
and management personnel, to expand and
deepen our florist relationships while maintaining
our industry-leading quality standards.  By selec-
tively growing the Bloomnet network and providing
an expanded offering of products and services to
our florist members, we believe we can build a
strong, incremental revenue stream that will 
generate significant returns going forward. 

Accelerating Growth in Food, Wine and
Gift Baskets 

During fiscal 2005 we made two acquisi-

tions to help accelerate growth in our
key Food, Wine and Gift Basket category.

In November, we acquired the WineTasting
Network®, a Napa Valley-based leader in distri-
bution services for more than 100 of California’s
leading wineries and a direct-to-consumer wine
marketer through the AmbrosiaSM wine brand.
Wine, as both a consumer and corporate gift, is
something our customers have long requested.
However, various state laws restricting interstate
shipping of wine have slowed the development
of this business.  Fortunately, an increasing num-
ber of states are opening their borders to allow
wineries to ship directly to consumers.  As this
trend continues, and states gradually extend the
new open shipping policies to wine retailers, we
believe the WineTasting Network will provide
an excellent platform from which we can build 
a leading position in gift baskets and gift sets
containing great wines. 

We made our second acquisition of the year

at the start of the fourth quarter buying
Cheryl&Co.®, a leading, multi-channel retailer of
cookies and other baked gifts.  Delicious cook-
ies, cakes and other baked goods are among the
fastest growing gifts in our Food, Wine and Gift
Basket category.  This was illustrated by the suc-
cessful rollout of our own, internally-developed
Mama Moore’s Bakeshop® brand, which grew to
several million dollars in sales over the past two
years.  In our review of this category, Cheryl&Co.,
already with more than $30 million in sales, con-
sistently stood out as a leader with its excellent
product quality, exceptional packaging design 
and innovative gift presentation.

Based in Ohio, Cheryl&Co. has a history of
strong revenue growth and profitability that we
believe we can accelerate by giving their excel-
lent management team access to the unique
collection of assets and capabilities that we 
have developed over the years, including our 
e-commerce technology and marketing expert-
ise, our customer service and fulfillment capabil-
ities, our expanded corporate sales force, our
strong balance sheet and our database of more
than 15 million customers.  Importantly, when
combined with our other food gift offerings, 
we expect the acquisitions of the WineTasting

Network and Cheryl&Co., will increase our
annual revenues in this key category to more
than $100 million for fiscal 2006.  

Marketing Message is Resonating

Throughout the second half of fiscal 2005

and into our current fiscal year, we have
seen an increasing number of new and

existing customers embrace 1-800-FLOWERS.COM
as their “Florist of Choice.”  Our marketing
efforts and message are resonating with cus-
tomers, as we can measure through our internal
metrics on retention, frequency and the range of
products purchased.  Our “Your Florist of
ChoiceSM” message conveys our unique ability to
provide our customers with choices, including
our florist designed gifts, hand-delivered same-
day anywhere in the country, our “Fresh From
Our Growers” product line of flowers shipped
fresh, overnight (an innovation we pioneered
more than 20 years ago), our exclusive “expert
designers” collections, featuring “celebrity
designers” such as Jane Carroll, Julie McCann
Mulligan and Jane Packer, plus all the other
great gifts that customers could expect to 
find in their “high-end” florist: candy, giftware,
towers of baked gifts and a broad range of gift
baskets and gift sets.  Of course, all of our gifts
come with a 100 percent quality guarantee,
another innovation we introduced more than 
a dozen years ago.

The combination of our expanded gift offer-

ing, the strength and reliability of our brand
and the convenience of our multi-channel retail
access continues to enable us to deepen our
relationships with our customers.  During the
year, even as we stepped up our customer
acquisition efforts and attracted a record num-
ber of new customers, we also increased our
customer repeat rate, reaching more than 46
percent for the full year.  During fiscal 2006, 
we plan to continue both our accelerated new
customer acquisition efforts and increase our
repeat customer rate, and thereby enhance 
top- and bottom-line growth. 

Financial Highlights

During fiscal 2005, we grew total revenues

11 percent, or $66.7 million, to $670.7
million, compared with $604 million in
fiscal 2004.  This increase was driven primarily

by online revenue growth of 17.4 percent, or
$53.4 million, to $360.9 million compared with
$307.5 million in the prior year.  Gross profit
margin percent for the year was 41.1 percent
compared with 41.9 percent in fiscal 2004, pri-
marily reflecting product mix and promotional
pricing programs.

Floral gift sales, which grew approximately
10 percent for the year, represented 52.7 percent
of total combined online and telephonic rev-
enues, up from 52.3 percent
in the prior year.  It is impor-
tant to note that this increase
came on top of the largest
base in the floral category,
thereby extending our 
market leadership. 

Revenues from our
Specialty Brands businesses
increased 12.4 percent to
approximately $226 million.
Excluding our home and 
garden business, which grew
approximately 6 percent for
the year, the Specialty Brands
businesses grew approximately
23 percent to approximately
$100 million.  

During fiscal 2005, the
Company’s operating expense
ratio was 39.3 percent com-
pared with 38.3 percent in the prior year.  
This reflects our previously discussed strategy 
to increase spending in several key areas:
• Marketing and selling for our core 
floral gift business,
• Expansion of our Bloomnet B2B 
operations, and 
• Infrastructure investments for our 
recent acquisitions.
The increase also reflects the carrying costs
associated with the seasonality of the new busi-
nesses we acquired during the year, both of
which generate the majority of their revenues
and profitability in the calendar year-end 
holiday period, our fiscal second quarter.     

Strong Balance Sheet

W e continue to have a strong balance

sheet with minimal debt and ample
cash.  At the end of fiscal 2005 our

cash and investments position was approxi-
mately $47 million, even after we used approxi-
mately $50 million during the year to acquire
the WineTasting Network and Cheryl&Co. and
an additional $9.8 million in our ongoing stock
repurchase program.  Our solid balance sheet
affords us the ability to grow our business
through both organic development efforts as
well as strategic acquisitions.  In addition, to the
extent that we generate cash in excess of these

In terms of business categories:                          
• In our floral consumer business, we expect
to drive double-digit revenue growth, and
thereby expand our market lead;
• In our Home and Garden business, we plan
to build on the successful turnaround
achieved in fiscal 2005, and expect revenue
growth in the mid-single digit range;
• In our Food, Wine and Gift Baskets businesses,
we expect to generate more than $100 mil-
lion in revenue through a combina-
tion of organic growth and full-year
contributions from Cheryl&Co. and
the WineTasting Network.

In terms of margin opportunity,

during the year, we expect to
expand our gross margin by 150
basis points, primarily through a
combination of product mix, pricing
initiatives, improved product sourc-
ing, and fulfillment and customer
service enhancements.  Reflecting
our plans to continue to invest in
the key areas discussed earlier, we
expect our operating expense ratio
will be in line with fiscal 2005.  As 
a result of these factors, during fiscal
2006, we expect to achieve pro forma
earnings growth of more than 75
percent compared with fiscal 2005.
We define pro forma earnings as

For the past two years we’ve received
rave reviews for the innovative design of
our annual reports; incorporating our
Celebrations Calendar (fiscal 2003) and
Celebrations Appointment Book (fiscal
2004) along with our detailed financial
results report and outlook for the new
year.  For fiscal 2005, we’ve once 
again incorporated a value-added

useful gifting tips and descriptions of

investors alike.   

needs, we plan to continue to return value to
our shareholders through our stock repurchase
program, subject to general business and market
conditions and other factors, including alterna-
tive investment opportunities.

Growth Guidance  

During fiscal 2006, we plan to continue

the strategic initiatives launched in the
second half of fiscal 2005 and expect to

drive revenue growth in a range of 14-to-16 
percent.  We anticipate the majority of this
growth will come through our online channels
while telephonic sales will likely grow at a single
digit pace.  We expect our retail and fulfillment 
revenue line – which includes our expanding
Bloomnet operations, our winery services busi-
ness and our company-owned and franchised
stores – to grow more than 50 percent com-
pared with fiscal 2005.

GAAP net income excluding stock-based com-
pensation expense and the related tax effect, as
calculated under FAS No. 123R.  We expect the
non-cash impact of stock-based compensation
expense during fiscal 2006 to be in a range of
$3-to-$4 million.

In addition to the strong earnings growth,
and as a result of our relatively low working cap-
ital requirements, we expect cash provided by
operations to be more than $40 million during
fiscal 2006 with capital expenditures in a range
of $14-to-$16 million for the year.

Quarterly Guidance

In terms of our quarterly guidance for fiscal

2006, it is important to note that we antici-
pate an increase in the seasonality of our
business primarily associated with our specialty
brands, in particular the acquisitions we’ve
made in the Food, Wine and Gift Basket area.

As such, in fiscal 2006 we anticipate a signifi-
cantly larger concentration of both revenues
and profits will occur in our fiscal second 
quarter (the calendar year-end period, which
includes the holiday shopping season).

Conversely, we anticipate that our fiscal first

quarter – traditionally our lowest in terms of
revenues due to the lack of any major gifting
holidays during the summer months – will
record a larger loss compared with the prior
year.  This loss reflects the carrying costs associ-
ated with our recently acquired companies, as
well as our continued investments in marketing
programs and our Bloomnet B2B operations.

Looking ahead, as we enter our 30th year in
business – having grown from one flower shop
to a leadership position in the floral and gift cat-
egory – we are well positioned to leverage the
investments we made last year and those we are
making this year in both our existing businesses
and new business initiatives.  As a result, during
fiscal 2006, we anticipate achieving accelerated,
double-digit revenue growth while significantly
enhancing our bottom-line returns in the form
of even faster growth in earnings and cash flow.
We believe this combination of sustainable
growth and profitability will enable us to 
build long-term value for our shareholders.
We thank all of our customers, associates, 
investors, vendors and business partners for
their continued support.  

Sincerely, 

Jim McCann
Chairman and CEO
