FTD GROUP, INC. REPORTS 10.3% YEAR-OVER-YEAR
REVENUE GROWTH FOR FISCAL YEAR 2005

  • Full Year Consumer Business Growth of 14.0%
  • Full Year Florist Business Growth of 5.8%
  • Net Loss of $22.6 million for Fiscal Year 2005, Primarily Associated with Expenses Incurred in Connection with the Initial Public Offering; Adjusted for These Expenses, Proforma Net Income was $20.5 million for Fiscal Year 2005
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $64.4 million for Fiscal Year 2005, representing a 25% increase

DOWNERS GROVE, IL. – August 9, 2005 – FTD Group, Inc. (NYSE:FTD), a leading provider of floral services and products, today announced full year and fourth quarter fiscal 2005 financial results for the periods ended June 30, 2005.

FULL YEAR 2005 RESULTS
Fiscal year 2005 revenues grew 10.3% to $437.8 million, compared with combined consolidated revenues of $397.1 million for fiscal 2004. This revenue growth was led by a 14.0% increase in revenue in the Consumer Business.

Net loss for fiscal year 2005 was $22.6 million, or $1.15 per diluted share. Management believes it is helpful to investors to be presented with the Company's net income and earnings per share on a proforma basis based on the new capital structure following the completion of the Company's initial public offering in February 2005 ("IPO") and the elimination of certain expenses incurred in connection with the IPO, which are not reflective of ongoing operations. Proforma net income for fiscal year 2005 was $20.5 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, reflecting the elimination of $8.3 million of expense, net of tax, related to the termination of the management services agreement with Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., $13.2 million of interest expense and $21.5 million of prepayment fees related to the Company's preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption, which were repurchased with a portion of the proceeds from the IPO, and the issuance of 15.8 million shares of Common Stock, which were issued in connection with the IPO. Given the timing of the Company's IPO in February 2005, period-over-period net income and per share comparisons are not meaningful.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") for fiscal year 2005 was $64.4 million compared to $51.5 million for the prior fiscal year, representing a 25% increase.

"We are very pleased with overall performance during the past fiscal year. Our Consumer Business continued to deliver consistent growth, while the Florist Business benefited from increased spending per florist. Going into fiscal year 2006, we remain confident in our ability to execute on our strategic plan and leverage our complimentary segments to grow the business," said Michael J. Soenen, President and Chief Executive Officer of FTD.

Tables reconciling net loss to proforma net income and Adjusted EBITDA, along with explanations and definitions of proforma net income and Adjusted EBITDA, are included with the attached consolidated financial statements. Also included in the attached consolidated financial statements is a table reconciling weighted average shares outstanding to proforma weighted average shares outstanding which is used to calculate proforma earnings per share. The Company believes proforma net income, Adjusted EBITDA and proforma earnings per share are useful and relevant because the expenses eliminated are not reflective of the Company's current capital structure or ongoing operations, and a comparison excluding these expenses provides supplemental information related to the Company's operations and results.

Consumer Business Segment

The Consumer Business segment is comprised of FTD.COM, a leading Internet and telephone marketer of flowers and specialty gifts, which sells products directly to consumers primarily through the Internet via the www.FTD.COM Web site and through the 1-800-SEND-FTD toll-free telephone number. The Consumer Business segment achieved revenues of $247.1 million in fiscal year 2005, compared to combined revenues of $216.8 million in 2004, representing a 14.0% increase. Growth was primarily driven by an increase in order volumes. Operating income for the Consumer Business was $14.4 million for fiscal year 2005, compared to $10.9 million for the prior year.

Consumer orders during the fiscal year totaled 4,073,000 compared to 3,580,000 orders in fiscal year 2004. Average order value increased slightly to $60.67 in fiscal year 2005 from $60.57 in the prior year. The percentage of Internet orders continues to grow in this segment, increasing to 87.2% from 83.6% in fiscal year 2004. Specialty gift orders, which include all orders delivered via common carrier, comprised 28.8% of total orders for the current fiscal year compared to 25.4% of total orders for fiscal year 2004.

"Consumers' continued preference for the Internet, along with additional marketing programs and the success of our new product offerings, drove growth in our Consumer Business during the year," commented Soenen.

Florist Business Segment

The Florist Business segment primarily markets floral products and services to FTD members and other retail locations offering floral products in the U.S. and Canada. The Florist Business segment achieved revenues of $190.7 million in fiscal year 2005, compared to combined revenues of $180.3 million in fiscal year 2004, representing an increase of 5.8%. Strength in the Florist Business was driven by an increase in order volumes as well as revenue increases across the majority of FTD's Florist Business product lines. Fiscal year 2005 operating income in the Florist Business was $50.0 million compared to $42.1 million in the prior year.

FOURTH QUARTER 2005 RESULTS
Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 grew 1.8% to $122.6 million, compared to revenues of $120.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004. Results for the period were impacted by an increase in sales related to the Mother's Day holiday, for which the Company previously reported a 9% growth in order volume within its Consumer Business segment versus the prior year holiday, as well as the shift in the Easter holiday to the third quarter of fiscal year 2005 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004.

Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 was $5.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. Given the timing of the Company's IPO in February 2005, period-over-period per share comparisons are not meaningful.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 was $16.2 million compared to $16.1 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Consumer Business Segment
The Consumer Business segment achieved revenues of $78.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, compared to $74.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004, representing a 4.6% increase. Growth was primarily driven by the previously reported 9% increase in Mother's Day order volumes, partially offset by the timing of the Easter holiday, which was in the third quarter of fiscal year 2005 versus the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004. Operating income for the Consumer Business was $5.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 compared to $3.8 million for the same quarter of the prior year.

Consumer orders during the fourth quarter totaled 1,327,000 compared to approximately 1,291,000 orders in the same quarter of fiscal year 2004. Average order value increased slightly to $58.78 in the current quarter from $57.74 in the prior year's quarter. The percentage of Internet orders continues to grow in this segment, increasing to 89.3% from 86.5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004. Specialty gift orders comprised 30.7% of total orders for the fourth quarter compared to 23.9% of total orders for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004.

Florist Business Segment
The Florist Business segment achieved revenues of $44.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, compared to $45.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004, representing a decrease of 2.8%. Results in the Florist Business reflected the decrease of specialty wholesaling product revenue associated with the elimination of unprofitable product lines and the Easter holiday, which was in the third quarter of fiscal year 2005 versus the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004. Fourth quarter fiscal year 2005 operating income in the Florist Business was $11.5 million compared to $12.0 million in the prior year quarter. This decrease in operating income is due primarily to the timing of certain FTD member events, which occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 versus the third quarter of fiscal year 2004. As of June 30, 2005, FTD membership totaled approximately 19,700.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 RESULTS
Due to the shift in Easter between the third and fourth quarters when comparing fiscal year 2005 results to fiscal year 2004 results, management believes it is helpful to investors to be presented with the six month results ended June 30. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 grew 9.2% to $247.5 million, compared with combined consolidated revenues of $226.7 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. This revenue growth resulted from a 12.8% increase in revenue in the Consumer Business and a 4.1% increase in revenue in the Florist Business.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $20.2 million, or $0.78 per diluted share. Management believes it is helpful to investors to be presented with the Company's net income and earnings per share on a proforma basis based on the Company's new capital structure following the completion of the Company's initial public offering in February 2005 ("IPO") and the elimination of certain expenses incurred in connection with the IPO, which are not reflective of ongoing operations. Proforma net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $12.2 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, reflecting the elimination of $7.7 million of expense, net of tax, related to the termination of the management services agreement with Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., $3.2 million of interest expense and $21.5 million of prepayment fees related to the Company's preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption, which were repurchased with a portion of the proceeds from the IPO, and the issuance of 15.8 million shares of Common Stock, which were issued in connection with the IPO. Given the timing of the Company's IPO in February 2005, period-over-period net income and per share comparisons are not meaningful.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $35.1 million compared to $29.2 million for the same period of the prior fiscal, representing a 20.4% increase.

BALANCE SHEET AND OTHER HIGHLIGHTS
During the fourth quarter, net proceeds of $5.3 million from the sale of 435,200 shares of Common Stock (related to the exercise of the over-allotment option granted in the IPO) were used to redeem a portion of FTD, Inc.'s 7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes at a redemption price of approximately 108% of principal amount. The Company's debt balance was $239.1 million as of June 30, 2005, down from $259.8 million as of June 30, 2004, and $256.2 million as of March 31, 2005. Capital expenditures for fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 were $5.6 million primarily related to continued technology improvements.

FISCAL YEAR 2006 OUTLOOK
"Looking ahead to 2006, we plan to stay the course and continue to consistently execute our business plan," stated Soenen. "We are focused on continuing to develop our brand and product set, reflecting the preferences of our customers and the needs of our FTD members. We are also committed to being disciplined operators - continuing to effectively control our marketing costs, generate cash and pay down additional debt."

For the full fiscal year 2006, the Company is targeting annual revenues to be approximately $480 million, with first, second, third and fourth quarter revenues representing approximately 18-19%, 24-25%, 27-28%, and 29-30%, respectively, of the total annual revenues. FTD is targeting net income for the fiscal year to be approximately $23 million, with diluted earnings per share of $0.75. In addition, the Company targets EBITDA for fiscal year 2006 to be approximately $67.5 million, with annual EBITDA margins of approximately 14%. EBITDA includes the effect of approximately $0.5 million of non-cash stock compensation expense associated with the Company's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R. There were no comparable expenses in fiscal year 2005. Without the effect of this non-cash expense, forecasted EBITDA would be targeted at approximately $68 million. Quarterly EBITDA margins are expected to be approximately 14%, 15%, 15%, and 13%, respectively for the first, second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2006, relatively consistent with the trends in EBITDA margins that the Company experienced in fiscal year 2005. The above targets are only estimates, which may be exceeded or alternatively may not be achieved.

PRESENTATION
Due to the merger of the Company with an affiliate of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., completed on February 24, 2004, results for the full fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 are reported in two separate periods and have been combined for discussion purposes.

Reconciliation of certain financial measures reported in accordance
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") to those
presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with
GAAP ("non-GAAP").
In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this press
release, the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures
within the meaning of Regulation G as a result of significant changes
in the Company's capital structure resulting from the Company's
initial public offering ("IPO"). The Company has included "proforma
EPS," calculated based on "proforma net income," and "proforma
weighted average shares outstanding," which are all non-GAAP financial
measures. The Company's management believes that these measurements
are important to investors and other interested persons and that such
persons benefit from having a consistent basis for comparison between
quarters and for comparison with other companies in the industry.
While management believes that proforma net income and proforma EPS
will be helpful to investors in understanding and evaluating the
Company's performance in the periods immediately following the IPO,
management does not expect to continue to provide proforma net income
and proforma EPS once the effects of the significant changes to the
Company's capital structure are able to be fully reflected in the
Company's financial statements.
The Company is providing proforma net income, proforma EPS and
proforma weighted average shares outstanding for each quarter of
fiscal year 2005, assuming that the following transactions had
occurred on June 30, 2004:
(i) the issuance of 15,842,893 shares in connection with the IPO;
(ii) the repurchase of the 14% Senior Redeemable Exchangeable
     Cumulative Preferred Stock and the 12% Junior Redeemable
     Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred Stock; and
(iii) the termination of the Management Services Agreement.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (i) expenses that
are not considered reflective of the Company's ongoing operations and
(ii) management fees, because these fees are excluded in measuring the
Company's performance under the executive compensation plan, the new
senior credit agreement and the indenture governing the notes. The
Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest
expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented:

(1) During fiscal year 2004, the Company recorded the following, which
    management does not consider reflective of the Company's ongoing
    operations:
    - In the second quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company recorded
    as a component of other expense (income), net, a gain of $1.5
    million related to the receipt of insurance proceeds related to
    the consolidated shareholder class action litigation associated
    with FTD, Inc.'s fiscal 2002 merger with FTD.COM.
    - In the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2004, the
    Company recorded a total of $23.4 million as a component of
    corporate general and administrative expense related to the going
    private transaction with an affiliate of Leonard Green & Partners,
    L.P. that was completed in February 2004 (the "2004 Going Private
    Transaction"). In addition, in the third quarter of fiscal year
    2004, the Company recorded as a component of other expense
    (income), net, $0.4 million related to the write-off of
    unamortized deferred financing fees on the then existing debt. In
    the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004, FTD, Inc. recorded $23,000
    as an offset to Corporate general and administrative expense,
    related to the 2004 Going Private Transaction.
    - In the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2004, the
    Company recorded $0.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively, as a
    component of corporate general and administrative expense for
    severance related costs.
(2) The Company historically recorded expense related to restricted
    stock and option grants under a plan that was terminated in
    conjunction with the 2004 Going Private Transaction.
(3) The management services agreement was terminated in connection
    with the initial public offering.
(4) The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of
    performance. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because it
    considers it an important supplemental measure of performance, as
    it is used as a performance measure under the new senior credit
    facility entered into in connection with the 2004 Going Private
    Transaction, the indenture governing the notes and the Company's
    executive compensation plan. All of the adjustments made in the
    calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as described above, are
    adjustments that would be made in calculating the Company's
    performance for purposes of coverage ratios under the new senior
    credit facility and the indenture governing the notes, and the
    Company's executive compensation plan bases incentive compensation
    payments in significant part on the Company's performance measured
    using Adjusted EBITDA as presented above. Measures similar to
    Adjusted EBITDA are also widely used by the Company and by others
    in the Company's industry to evaluate and price potential
    acquisition candidates. The Company believes EBITDA and Adjusted
    EBITDA facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to
    period and company to company by backing out potential differences
    caused by variations in capital structure (affecting relative
    interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or
    companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating
    losses) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and
    equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). The Company
    also presents Adjusted EBITDA because it believes it is frequently
    used by investors and other interested parties in the evaluation
    of high yield issuers, many of which present EBITDA and/or
    Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results.
    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 of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are that they do not
    reflect the Company's cash expenditures for capital expenditures,
    they do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash
    requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments
    on the Company's debt, they do not reflect changes in, or cash
    requirements for, the Company's working capital requirements, they
    do not reflect the impact of management fees paid and other
    significant expenses excluded above and other companies in the
    Company's industry may calculate these measures differently than
    presented above. The Company compensates for these limitations by
    relying primarily on GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted
    EBITDA only supplementally.

    performance measure that is used as a performance measure under
    the senior credit facility entered into in connection with the
    2004 Going Private Transaction, the indenture governing the notes
    and the Company's executive compensation plan. The senior credit
    facility, the indenture governing the notes and the executive
    compensation plan also allow for the adjustment to EBITDA of
    non-cash stock compensation expenses related to the adoption
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R. Measures
    similar to EBITDA are also widely used by the Company and by
    others in the Company's industry to evaluate and price potential
    acquisition candidates. The Company believes EBITDA facilitates
    operating performance comparisons from period to period and
    company to company by backing out potential differences caused by
    variations in capital structure (affecting relative interest
    expense), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or
    companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating
    losses) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and
    equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). The Company
    also presents EBITDA because it believes it is frequently used by
    investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of high
    yield issuers, many of which present EBITDA when reporting their
    results. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, 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 of EBITDA is that it does not reflect the Company's
    cash expenditures for capital expenditures, it does not reflect
    the significant interest expense or the cash requirements
    necessary to service interest or principal payments on the
    Company's debt, it does not reflect changes in, or cash
    requirements for, the Company's working capital requirements, and
    other companies in the Company's industry may calculate these
    measures differently than presented above. The Company compensates
    for these limitations by relying primarily on GAAP results and
    using EBITDA only supplementally.
