FTD Group, Inc. Reports $10.4 Million of Operating Income,
Representing an Increase of 31.7% for the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2006

DOWNERS GROVE, IL. – October 26, 2005 – FTD Group, Inc. (NYSE:FTD), a leading provider of floral services and products, today announced first quarter fiscal year 2006 financial results for the period ended September 30, 2005.

FIRST QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2006 RESULTS

First quarter fiscal year 2006 revenues grew 4.6% to $85.9 million, compared with revenues of $82.1 million for the same period of fiscal year 2005. This revenue growth was driven by a 14.3% increase in revenue in the Consumer Segment.

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 was $3.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to a net loss for the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 of $3.1 million. Management believes it is helpful to investors to be presented with the Company's prior year first quarter net income (loss) and earnings per diluted share on a proforma basis, based on the Company's new capital structure following the completion of its initial public offering in February 2005 (the "IPO") and the elimination of certain expenses in connection with the IPO which are not reflective of ongoing operations. Proforma net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 was $2.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, reflecting the elimination of $4.9 million of interest expense related to the Company's preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption, which were repurchased with a portion of the proceeds from the IPO, the elimination of $0.3 million, net of tax, of management fees related to the Management Services Agreement, which was terminated in connection with the IPO, and the issuance of 15.8 million shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the IPO.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 was $12.9 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $11.5 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year, representing a 12.7% increase. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 excludes expenses related to the Management Services Agreement which was terminated in connection with the Company's IPO.

"Despite the absence of major floral holidays in the first quarter, we were pleased with the Company's overall performance, which resulted in revenue growth and increased profitability. Most notably, our Consumer Segment delivered consistent growth and increased operating income margins, while the operating income in the Florist Segment grew through the strategic elimination of certain specialty wholesaling product lines which were not running profitably or were inventory intensive and not core to our business. Exclusive of these specialty wholesaling product lines, revenue also grew on a year-over-year basis in the Florist Segment," said Michael J. Soenen, President and Chief Executive Officer of FTD. He added, "As we prepare for the remaining holiday-driven quarters of fiscal year 2006, we are confident in our ability to execute on our strategic plan and leverage our complementary segments to grow the business."

Tables reconciling net income/(loss) to proforma net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, along with explanations and definitions of proforma net income, EBITDA 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, EBITDA, 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 Segment

The Consumer 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 Segment achieved revenues of $41.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, compared to revenues of $36.4 million in the same period of fiscal year 2005, representing a 14.3% increase. Growth was primarily driven by an increase in order volume. Operating income for the Consumer Segment was $2.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, reflecting 6.3% operating income margins, compared to $1.5 million for the first quarter of the prior fiscal year, reflecting 4.0% operating income margins.

Consumer orders during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 totaled 689,000 compared to 592,000 orders in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Average order value decreased slightly to $60.31 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 from $61.41 in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The percentage of Internet orders continues to grow in this segment, increasing to 88.0% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 from 84.6% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. Specialty gift orders, which include all orders delivered via common carrier, comprised 36.4% of total orders for the first quarter of the current fiscal year compared to 24.0% of total orders for the same period of fiscal year 2005.

"While we continue to benefit from the trend of consumers' preference for the online shopping experience, our business model further seeks to leverage this preference by focusing on strategic marketing and product offerings," commented Soenen.

Florist Segment

The Florist 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 Segment achieved revenues of $44.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, compared to revenues of $45.7 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year, representing a decrease of 3.0%. The decline in the Florist Segment revenues was due to continued effort to eliminate certain unprofitable and inventory intensive specialty wholesaling product lines. Revenues related to the specialty wholesaling product lines were $11.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 compared to $13.4 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The Florist Segment, excluding the specialty wholesaling product lines, experienced revenues of $32.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 compared to $32.3 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. First quarter fiscal year 2006 operating income in the Florist Segment was $11.3 million, representing operating income margins of 25.4%, compared to $9.7 million, representing operating margins of 21.3%, for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

BALANCE SHEET AND OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

The Company's debt balance was $243.9 million as of September 30, 2005, up slightly from $239.1 million as of June 30, 2005. This was primarily due to the seasonality of the Company's payables. Capital expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 were $3.3 million, primarily related to a new call center, which the Company opened in October 2005, in addition to continued technology improvements.

TREASURY SHARE REPURCHASE

On October 25, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program totaling $30 million, effective through September 30, 2007. These purchases may be made from time to time in both open market and private transactions, dependent upon market and other conditions and subject to the receipt of a waiver under the Company's Credit Agreement. This repurchase program is expected to remain in effect through September 30, 2007, unless terminated earlier by the Board or completed. Repurchased shares will be held in treasury pending use for general corporate purposes, including issuances under various employee and director stock plans.

"Our strong annual cash flow combined with the low capital expenditure investment required for us to operate our business effectively, allows us to pursue other uses of cash in our business. While we will continue to use cash to pay down debt, at the current time we believe a share repurchase program is a good use of a portion of the Company's funds while demonstrating the Company's commitment to deliver long term shareholder value," explained Soenen.

FISCAL YEAR 2006 OUTLOOK

"Looking ahead, we remain committed to executing the business plan we laid out entering the current fiscal year," stated Soenen. "We are focused on continuing to develop our brand and product set to match the preferences of our customers and the needs of our FTD members. We are also committed to disciplined operations as we will continue to effectively control our marketing costs, generate cash and pay down debt, in addition to repurchasing shares. In addition, the litigation we brought against Provide Commerce, Inc. continues, but we do not believe the cost of the lawsuit will be material to our business."

For the full fiscal year 2006, the Company is reiterating its targeted annual revenues of approximately $480 million, targeted net income of approximately $23 million, with diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.75, and targeted EBITDA of approximately $67.5 million, with annual EBITDA margins of approximately 14%. EBITDA includes the effect of approximately $0.6 million of non-cash stock compensation expense associated with the Company's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), of which the Company incurred $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. 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. The above targets are only estimates, which may be exceeded or alternatively may not be achieved.

                              (Unaudited)
                 (In thousands, except per share data)

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 in February 2005 (the "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 the three-month
period ended September 30, 2004, 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 EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest
expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. 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 were excluded in measuring the
Company's performance under the executive compensation plan, the
senior credit agreement and the indenture governing the 7.75% Senior
Subordinated Notes (the "Notes"). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are

(1) The Management Services Agreement was terminated in connection
    with the Company's initial public offering in February 2005.

(2) 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 2004
    Going Private Transaction, the indenture governing the Notes and
    the Company's executive compensation plan. The adjustment made in
    the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, as described above, is an
    adjustment 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) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and
    equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). 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 the impact of management fees paid, 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.

                                            ==========================

(1) The Company uses EBITDA as a supplemental measure of performance.
    The Company presents EBITDA because it considers it an important
    supplemental measure of performance, as it is materially the same
    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 of
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R). 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.
