 A nice tuck-in acquisition. The company announced on January 10th that it purchased the brand, IP assets, customer list and some machinery of Things Remembered, an personalization engraver of gifts, for an undisclosed cash purchase price. We estimate that the purchase price was less than $10 million. The company is not acquiring any Things Remembered stores. 

Things Remembered could be the berries. The acquisition of Things Remembered is similar to the company’s successful acquisition of Shari’s Berries in 2019, although we believe that the purchase price is materially less than the $20 million paid for Shari’s Berries. Notably, with Things Remembered, the company gains a customer list of over 1 million.

Fiscal Q1 exceeds expectations. The company reported fiscal Q1 revenue of $303.6 million, 2.4% above our forecast of $296.5 million. Stronger revenues in Gourmet Food & Gift Baskets accounted for the largest upside revenue variance. Adj. EBITDA loss of $28.7 million was better than our forecast of a loss of $34 million.  

Segment contributions. Revenue was bolstered by 11% growth in the Gourmet Food & Gift Baskets segment, reflecting the Vital Choice acquisition last year, which benefited the quarter by roughly $5 million. The Adj. EBITDA upside was driven by better-than-expected margins in the Consumer Floral and BloomNet segments. Management anticipates that margins should improve in the second half due to moderating labor, ocean freight and shipping costs.
