SEC filingQ3 revenue declined 11.6% to $293.0M due to lower network order volumes and directory revenue, but losses narrowed significantly with operating loss improving 51.1% to -$94.6M and net loss 43.9% to -$100.1M, supported by strong operating cash flow of $42.9M.
Gross profit decreased 7.3% to $97.3 million, yielding a gross margin of 33.2%, stable relative to revenue contraction. Cost of revenues encompasses labor, facility costs for direct-to-consumer and wholesale production, and payments to sending florists via the BloomNet network tied to referred order volumes. The narrower decline in gross profit versus revenue reflects some gross margin expansion amid lower overall volumes, supported by the noted wholesale gains in Gourmet Foods.
Net income loss narrowed 43.9% to $100.1 million, or -$1.56 diluted EPS, from -$178.2 million or -$2.80 EPS. This reflects the operating improvements, positioning the company with reduced per-share impact despite ongoing challenges.
Cash flow from operations surged to $42.9 million from just $0.7 million year-over-year, enabling $20.0 million in free cash flow after $22.8 million capital expenditures (down from $32.4 million). This strength provides liquidity flexibility, as management notes sources should suffice for anticipated needs over the next twelve months, though subject to uncertainty. The company continues evaluating complementary acquisitions or investments that could influence future liquidity requirements.
