DOWNERS GROVE, IL. – August 16, 2007 – FTD Group, Inc. (NYSE: FTD), a leading provider of floral products and services, today announced fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2007 financial results for the period ended June 30, 2007.

FULL YEAR 2007 RESULTS

Fiscal year 2007 revenues grew 31.8% to $613.0 million, compared with revenues of $465.1 million for fiscal year 2006. The International Segment contributed $143.4 million to fiscal year 2007 revenues, representing eleven months of operations.

Net income for fiscal year 2007 was $31.9 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, compared to net income for fiscal year 2006 of $25.5 million, or $0.86 per diluted share. The increase in net income during the year was attributable to strong performance in the Company's International Segment and operating efficiencies in the domestic businesses.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") for fiscal year 2007 was $92.5 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $69.0 million for the prior fiscal year, representing a 34.0% increase. Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2007 excludes $0.9 million of other income, net, which reflects foreign currency gains partially offset by the costs related to the March 2007 secondary stock offering, while Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2006 excludes $1.0 million related to the gain on the sale of the Renaissance greeting cards business which was sold in December 2005, a $1.6 million gain related to the settlement of the class action lawsuit entitled In Re: Visacheck/Mastermoney Antitrust Litigation and $0.4 million of other income which is primarily comprised of foreign currency gains.

"Our focus on profitability and margin expansion during fiscal year 2007 drove our strong bottom-line results," said Michael J. Soenen, President and Chief Executive Officer of FTD.

A table reconciling net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is included with the attached consolidated financial statements. The Company believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful supplemental information related to the Company's operations and results.

Domestic Consumer Segment

The Consumer Segment achieved revenues of $287.6 million in fiscal year 2007, compared to revenues of $275.8 million in fiscal year 2006, representing a 4.3% increase. Growth was primarily driven by a 1.8% increase in order volume and a 1.5% increase in average order value. Fiscal year 2007 operating income for the Consumer Segment was $21.2 million, compared to $16.1 million for the prior fiscal year, representing an increase of 31.7%. The Company's focus on profitable growth was reflected in the operating margin in the Consumer Segment for fiscal year 2007 of 7.4%, versus 5.8% in the prior fiscal year.

Consumer orders for fiscal year 2007 totaled 4,590,000 compared to 4,508,000 orders in the prior fiscal year. Average order value increased to $61.31 in fiscal year 2007 from $60.38 in the prior fiscal year. Internet orders as a percentage of total orders in this segment increased slightly to 90.3% for fiscal year 2007 from 90.1% in fiscal year 2006.

Domestic Florist Segment

The Florist Segment recorded revenues of $182.0 million in fiscal year 2007, compared to revenues of $189.4 million in fiscal year 2006, representing a decrease of 3.9%. The decline in Florist Segment revenues was primarily due to the sale of Renaissance in December 2005 and the elimination of certain unprofitable customers. Fiscal year 2007 operating income in the Florist Segment was $58.7 million, compared to operating income of $58.4 million in the prior fiscal year, which represents an increase of 0.5%. Operating margins in the Florist Segment continued to show improvement, increasing to 32.2% from 30.8% in fiscal year 2006.

International Segment

For fiscal year 2007, the International Segment, comprised of the Interflora business which was acquired in July 2006, achieved revenues of $143.4 million and operating income of $13.0 million, or 9.1% of revenues. Consumer order volume in the International Segment totaled 1,785,000, up 15.9% over Interflora's orders for the same 11-month period of the prior year. Average order value in the International Segment was $64.78 for the 11-month period and Internet orders comprised 71.0% of the order volume.
 

BALANCE SHEET AND OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

As of June 30, 2007 the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $25.5 million with $48.4 million of operating cash flows generated during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

Excluding the $50 million repayment of the prior credit agreement, the Company paid down $31.2 million of debt during fiscal year 2007, comprised of $23.1 million of notes payable related to the Interflora acquisition and $8.1 million on the term loan.

FOURTH QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2007 RESULTS

Fourth quarter fiscal year 2007 consolidated revenues grew 20.0% to $169.8 million, compared to revenue of $141.5 million for the same period of fiscal year 2006. This revenue growth was driven by the July 2006 acquisition of Interflora. Interflora experienced strong sales in a non-holiday quarter, achieving revenues of $34.8 million.

Fourth quarter revenue for the Domestic Consumer Segment was $90.5 million compared to $95.3 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Fourth quarter Consumer Segment operating margins increased to 10.5% from 7.0% in the same period of the prior fiscal year, reflecting the Company's continued focus on profitability.

Domestic Florist Segment fourth quarter revenue was $44.5 million compared with $46.2 million in the prior fiscal year. Excluding the $1.6 million Visa/Mastercard settlement in the prior fiscal year, fourth quarter operating margins grew to 30.9% from 30.7% in the prior fiscal year period.

Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 was $10.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the prior fiscal year fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 was $26.7 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $20.3 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year, representing a 32.0% increase.
 

FISCAL YEAR 2008 OUTLOOK

"We believe that the Company is positioned to demonstrate continued growth and our focus will remain on operating margins and net income growth," concluded Soenen.

For fiscal year 2008, the Company is targeting annual revenues to be approximately $645 million. The Company is targeting net income for the fiscal year to be $35.7 million, with diluted earnings per share of $1.18. In addition, the Company targets EBITDA for fiscal year 2008 to be approximately $98 million, with targeted annual EBITDA as a percentage of revenues of approximately 15%. The Company's targeted EBITDA includes approximately $4 million of expense related to stock compensation associated with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R and a deferred compensation plan related to Interflora. The Company expects to report Adjusted EBITDA, which represents EBITDA adjusted for items not considered reflective of the Company's core operations. The Company is not projecting any such adjustments for fiscal year 2008 at this time, including other expense (income), net, which historically has primarily related to foreign currency gains and losses.

The above targets are only estimates, which may be exceeded or alternatively may not be achieved.

The Company defines EBITDA as net income before net interest expense,
 income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. The Company
 defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus expenses that are not
 considered reflective of the Company's core operations. For the
 periods presented, the items not considered part of the Company's
 core operations include the gain on the sale of the Renaissance
 greeting card business, the income related to the settlement of the
 Visa/MasterCard litigation and other (income) expense, which
 primarily consists of net foreign currency gains and losses and the
 costs associated with the March 2007 secondary stock offering. EBITDA
 and Adjusted EBITDA include $3.1 million of expense related to stock
 compensation associated with Statement of Financial Accounting
 Standards No. 123R ("SFAS No. 123R") and a deferred compensation plan
 related to Interflora. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as
 follows for the periods presented:

(1)The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental
    measures 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
    senior credit facility entered into in connection with the
    acquisition of Interflora Holdings Limited, the indenture
    governing the Notes and the Company's executive compensation plan.
    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 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 EBITDA and 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), the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment
    (affecting relative depreciation expense), profits or losses
    related to sold businesses, currency fluctuations (primarily
    resulting from the Interflora business, which is based in the
    U.K.) and expenses related to financing transactions. The Company
    also presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes they
    are 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 other expenses or gains 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.

The Company defines EBITDA as net income before net interest expense,
 income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Targeted EBITDA
 includes approximately $4 million of expense related to stock
 compensation associated with SFAS No. 123R and a deferred
 compensation plan related to Interflora. Targeted EBITDA is
 calculated as follows for the period presented:
