CARLE PLACE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 1, 2018--1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLWS), a leading gourmet food and floral gift provider for all occasions, today reported results for its Fiscal 2018 third quarter ended April 1, 2018.

Chris McCann, CEO of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc., said, “During the fiscal third quarter, we achieved top and bottom-line growth across all three of our business segments. This was driven by strong revenue growth for the 1-800-Flowers.com brand, where we further extended our market leading position with revenue growth of nearly nine percent for the quarter and more than ten percent during the key Valentine holiday. In addition, we saw a continuation of accelerated ecommerce growth in Harry & David, which grew at a double-digit pace during the quarter.”

McCann noted that the Company’s BloomNet business returned to top and bottom-line growth during the third quarter, driven by increased sales of wholesale products and digital and web marketing services for local florists. “BloomNet is also seeing increasing order volumes from the 1-800-Flowers brand as well as from shop-to-shop orders. As a result, the business is well positioned to build upon these results and enhance its market position during the current fourth quarter and going forward,” he said.
