• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "FTD Companies, Inc. operates as a floral and gifting company.

• 2. B. Riley analysts commented, "FTD (FTD) reported 4Q16 sales and EBITDA slightly below consensus and our estimates and issued 2017 EBITDA margin guidance of 8.0%-8.5% (vs. 10.7% in 2016) on flat sales, which implies EBITDA of ~$90MM-$95MM, ~20%-25% below the previous $121MM consensus. Marketing investments need to increase significantly to re-ignite sales growth, and capex is projected +50% to $28MM, which mgt. considers a 'modest' level. We used to envision annual free cash flow of ~$80MM, but now we project $35MM in 2017E and $43MM in 2018E. Valentine's Day sales were up mid-single digits due to the Tuesday placement (with improved pricing YoY), but top-line growth could dissipate again after 1Q17'new CEO John Walden needs several months to evaluate the business. Mgt. is less pleased with what they are seeing in partnership-driven revenue than in company-website trends. We are lowering our 2017E/2018E EBITDA from $116MM/$128MM to $95MM/$106MM, but raising our target EV-to-EBITDA from 6x to 7x due to the outlook for low-single digit constant currency sales growth in 2017. We are lowering our PT from $21.00 to $20.00, based on 7x 2018E EBITDA of $106MM. We remain on the sidelines until we see a trend of improving top-line growth." (3/15/2017)
