Our business uses the highly recognized FTD ® , Interflora ® (both supported by the iconic Mercury Man ® logo), ProFlowers ® , Shari’s Berries ® , and Personal Creations ® brands. While we operate primarily in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada, the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), and the Republic of Ireland, we have worldwide presence as our Mercury Man logo is displayed in nearly 40,000 floral shops in approximately 150 countries. Our portfolio of brands also includes Flying Flowers, Flowers Direct, and Drake Algar in the U.K., and Cherry Moon Farms ® , Gifts.com™, Sincerely™, and RedEnvelope ® in the U.S. While floral arrangements and plants are our primary offerings, we also market and sell gift items, including gourmet dipped berries and other sweets, personalized gifts, premium fresh fruit baskets, gift baskets, wine and champagne, jewelry, and spa products.

The principal operating subsidiaries of FTD Companies, Inc. are Florists’ Transworld Delivery, Inc., FTD.COM Inc. (“FTD.COM”), Interflora British Unit (“Interflora”), and Provide Commerce, Inc. (“Provide Commerce”). The operations of the Company include those of its subsidiary, Interflora, Inc., of which one ‑third is owned by a third party. The Company’s corporate headquarters is located in Downers Grove, Illinois. The Company also maintains offices in San Diego and San Francisco, California; Woodridge, Illinois; Centerbrook, Connecticut; Medford, Oregon; Sleaford, England; Quebec, Canada; and Hyderabad, India; and distribution centers in various locations throughout the U.S.

Acquisition of Provide Commerce, Inc.

On December 31, 2014, the Company acquired from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Interactive Corporation (“Liberty”) all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Provide Commerce, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty, for a purchase price consisting of (i) cash consideration of $106.6 million, excluding acquired cash on hand of $38.1 million and a post-closing working capital adjustment of $9.9 million, and (ii) 10.2 million shares of FTD common stock, representing approximately 35% of the issued and outstanding shares of FTD common stock (the “Acquisition”). In April 2015, FTD made a payment to Liberty in full satisfaction of the post-closing working capital adjustment. Upon the closing of the Acquisition, Provide Commerce became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of FTD (see Note 2).

Basis of Presentation

These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), including those for interim financial information, and with the instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and operating results for the periods presented. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information at December 31, 2014 , was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2014 , but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP.

FTD COMPANIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the historical financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make accounting policy elections, estimates, and assumptions that affect a number of reported amounts and related disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that it believes are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. The most significant areas of the condensed consolidated financial statements that require management’s judgment include the Company’s revenue recognition, goodwill, indefinite ‑lived intangible assets and other long ‑lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, income taxes, software capitalization, legal contingencies, and preliminary estimates of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the Acquisition.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10 ‑K for the year ended December 31, 2014 .

“Emerging Growth Company” Reporting Requirements

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act. As an “emerging growth company,” the Company has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards until such standards are also applicable to private companies. As a result of this election, the Company’s consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with non ‑emerging growth companies’ effective dates for such new or revised standards. Further, as a result of the Acquisition, the Company anticipates that it will no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company” as of December 31, 2015 .

Accounting Policies

Refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10 ‑K for the year ended December 31, 2014 , for a discussion of the Company’s accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists , as codified in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740. The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. However, to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This ASU applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this ASU were effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2015. The amendments were applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that existed at the effective date. This update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The amendments in this ASU affect any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The

Table of Contents

(Unaudited)

amendments in this ASU require an entity to recognize revenue related to the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance was deferred by ASU 2015-14, issued by the FASB in August 2015, and is now effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted as of the original effective date for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items , which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from GAAP. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the requirement that an entity separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments should be applied prospectively and retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest , which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs related to a debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. Additionally in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements , to clarify that an entity may elect to present debt issuance costs related to a line-of-credit arrangement as an asset, regardless of whether or not there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The amendments in these ASUs will be effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments should be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company expects that these updates will reduce both other assets and the outstanding debt balance by approximately $3.1 million at September 30, 2015.

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software - Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement , which provides guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The new guidance does not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments can be applied prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory—Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory , which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. The ASU defines net realizable value as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The update does not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out or the retail inventory method. The update applies to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out or average cost methods. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments must be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations —Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments . This update requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are

2. ACQUISITION

Acquisition of Provide Commerce

On December 31, 2014, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Provide Commerce from Liberty. Provide Commerce’s portfolio of brands primarily includes ProFlowers and ProPlants for fresh-cut flowers, floral arrangements, and plants; Shari’s Berries for gourmet-dipped berries and other sweets; Personal Creations for personalized gifts; Cherry Moon Farms for premium fresh fruits; and Sincerely for mobile gifting applications. The Acquisition expands the breadth of the Company’s brand by combining two complementary businesses to offer customers a greater variety of floral and gifting products and an enhanced shopping experience and is expected to generate significant cost synergies. The Company believes that these factors support the estimated amount of goodwill related to the Acquisition.

The purchase price consisted of (i) cash consideration of $106.6 million, excluding acquired cash on hand of $38.1 million, and a post-closing working capital adjustment of $9.9 million, and (ii) 10.2 million shares of FTD common stock, representing approximately 35% of the issued and outstanding shares of FTD common stock. The FTD common stock was valued at $34.82 per share, the closing price on December 31, 2014, the date of the Acquisition, for purposes of determining the purchase price. In April 2015, FTD made a payment to Liberty in full satisfaction of the post-closing working capital adjustment. The purchase price was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s preliminary estimates of their respective fair values as of the closing date of the Acquisition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company revised certain of its preliminary estimates of fair value, which changes were not considered material. The Company believes that the preliminary fair values assigned to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed were based on reasonable assumptions, however, additional information is needed in order to determine the final fair values.

7. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On July 17, 2013, FTD Companies, Inc. entered into a credit agreement (the “2013 Credit Agreement”) with Interflora, certain wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of FTD Companies, Inc. party thereto as guarantors, the financial institutions party thereto from time to time, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as joint lead arrangers and book managers, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), which provided for a $350 million five ‑year revolving credit facility. On July 17, 2013, FTD Companies, Inc. drew $220 million of the new $350 million revolving credit facility and used this, together with approximately $19 million of its existing cash balance, to repay amounts outstanding under its previous credit facility in full and to pay fees and expenses related to the 2013 Credit Agreement.

On September 19, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2013 Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), with Interflora, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and the Administrative Agent. The Credit Agreement Amendment amended and restated the 2013 Credit Agreement in its entirety (as amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). Among other things, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided for a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million and provided for a revolving loan advance (the “Acquisition Advance”) to finance the cash portion of the Acquisition purchase price.

The proceeds of the term loan were used to repay a portion of outstanding revolving loans and, on December 31, 2014, the Company borrowed $120 million under the Acquisition Advance to fund the cash portion of the Acquisition purchase price. The obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of FTD Companies, Inc.’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (together with FTD Companies, Inc., the “U.S. Loan Parties”). In addition, the obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the U.S. Loan Parties, including a pledge of all of the outstanding capital stock of certain direct subsidiaries of the U.S. Loan Parties (except with respect to foreign subsidiaries and certain domestic subsidiaries whose assets consist primarily of foreign subsidiary equity interests, in which case such pledge is limited to 66% of the outstanding capital stock).

The interest rates applicable to borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are based on either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.50% per annum to 2.50% per annum, or a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% per annum to 1.50% per annum, calculated according to the Company’s net leverage ratio. At September 30, 2015 , the base rate margin was 1.0% per annum and the LIBOR margin was 2.0% per annum. In addition, the Company pays a commitment fee ranging from 0.20% per annum to 0.40% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The interest rates (based on LIBOR ) at September 30, 2015 , under the term loan and the revolving credit facility were 2.33% and 2.19% , respectively. The commitment fee rate at September 30, 2015 , was 0.30% . The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, affirmative covenants and negative covenants, that, among other things, require the Company to maintain compliance with a maximum net leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, and impose restrictions and limitations on, among other things, investments, dividends, share repurchases, and asset sales, and the Company’s ability to incur additional debt and additional liens.

The term loan is subject to amortization payments of $5 million per quarter and customary mandatory prepayments under certain conditions. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company paid down $20 million of the amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The outstanding balance of the term loan and all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due upon maturity in September 2019. The future minimum principal payments through the maturity date of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement were as follows for each of the next five years (in thousands):

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

In March 2012, the Company purchased, for $1.9 million, forward starting interest rate cap instruments based on 3 month LIBOR, effective January 2015 through June 2018. The forward starting interest rate cap instruments have aggregated notional values totaling $130 million. The interest rate cap instruments are designated as cash flow hedges against expected future cash flows attributable to future 3 month LIBOR interest payments on a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The gains or losses on the instruments are reported in other comprehensive income/(loss) to the extent that they are effective and are reclassified into earnings when the cash flows attributable to 3-month LIBOR interest payments are recognized in earnings.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following table presents estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities and derivative instruments that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):


	September 30, 2015						December 31, 2014
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Total		Level 1		Level 2
Assets:

Provide Commerce has an executive deferred compensation plan for key management level employees under which such employees could elect to defer receipt of current compensation. This plan is intended to be an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan that complies with the provisions of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. At the time of the Acquisition, contributions to the plan were suspended except those relating to any compensation earned but not yet paid as of the date of the Acquisition. The plan assets, which consist primarily of life insurance contracts recorded at their cash surrender value, were $11.9 million and $12.5 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and are included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company estimated the fair value of its long ‑term debt using a discounted cash flow approach that incorporates a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration and risk profile. In determining the market interest yield curve, the Company considered, among other factors, its estimated credit spread. At September 30, 2015 , the Company estimated its credit spread as 2.5% and 3.1% for the term loan and revolving credit facility, respectively, resulting in yield-to-maturity estimates for the term loan and revolving credit facility of 3.6% and 4.2 % respectively. At December 31, 2014 , the Company estimated its credit spread as 2.0% and 2.6% for the term loan and revolving credit facility, respectively, resulting in yield-to-maturity estimates for the term loan and revolving credit facility of 3.6% and 4.2% , respectively. The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and estimated fair values for long-term debt (in thousands):


	September 30, 2015				December 31, 2014
	Carrying		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying		Estimated Fair Value
	Amount		Level 2		Amount		Level 2
Long-term debt, including current portion	$	305,000	$	301,153	$	340,000	$	338,223

Fair value approximates the carrying amount of financing receivables because such receivables are discounted at a rate comparable to market. Fair values of cash and cash equivalents, short ‑term accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts because of their short ‑term nature.

10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock Repurchases

On February 27, 2014, the Company’s board of directors authorized a common stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) that allows FTD Companies, Inc. to repurchase up to $50 million of its common stock from time to time over a two ‑year period in both open market and privately negotiated transactions. Repurchased shares generally will be held in treasury pending use for general corporate purposes, including issuances under various employee and director stock plans. No purchases were made under the Repurchase Program prior to 2015. At September 30, 2015 , the Company has repurchased 0.7 million shares under the Repurchase Program at an average cost per share of $29.72 . No repurchases were made under the Repurchase Program during the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Upon vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or exercise of stock options, the Company does not collect the minimum statutory withholding taxes in cash from employees. Instead, the Company automatically withholds, from the RSUs that vest or stock options exercised, the portion of those shares with a fair market value equal to the amount of the minimum statutory withholding taxes due. The withheld shares are accounted for as repurchases of common stock but are not considered repurchases under the Repurchase Program. The Company then pays the minimum statutory withholding taxes in cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , 0.2 million RSUs vested for which 0.1 million shares were withheld to cover the minimum statutory withholding taxes of $2.0 million.

11. INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS

The FTD Companies, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (as so amended, the “Amended and Restated 2013 Plan”) authorizes the granting of awards to employees and non-employee directors, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSUs and other stock based awards. In June 2015, stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan. Under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan, 5.2 million shares of FTD common stock have been reserved for issuance of awards. At September 30, 2015 , the Company had 3.0 million shares available for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan. In addition, in July 2015, eligible employees of the Company were able to participate in the FTD Companies, Inc. 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan which was also approved by stockholders in June 2015.

On August 10, 2015, the Company granted 1.85 million stock options to certain management employees. The stock options granted will generally vest in four equal annual installments beginning on January 1, 2016. The options were granted with an exercise price of $29.97 and the following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the stock options at the grant date :


Risk free interest Rate	1.3	%
Expected term (in years)	3.63
Dividend yield	0.0	%
Expected volatility	31.7	%

On March 9, 2015, the Company granted RSUs to certain employees totaling 0.3 million shares. The RSUs granted will generally vest in four equal annual installments beginning on February 15, 2016. The grant date fair value of the RSUs was $34.44 , the market value of the underlying stock on the grant date.

The following table summarizes the stock ‑based compensation incurred in the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, that has been included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

12. INCOME TAXES

During the quarter ended September 30, 2015 , the Company recorded a tax benefit of $0.8 million on a pre-tax loss of $17.3 million, compared to a tax benefit of $2.2 million on pre-tax income of $2.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 . The effective tax rate decreased for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to anticipated book losses in the U.S. resulting from the amortization of intangibles acquired in the Acquisition.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company recorded a tax benefit of $0.4 million on pre-tax income of $2.9 million, compared to a tax provision of $8.1 million on pre-tax income of $27.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 . The effective tax rate decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 , primarily due to anticipated book losses in the U.S. resulting from the amortization of intangibles acquired in the Acquisition.

13. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Certain of the Company’s RSUs are considered participating securities because they contain a non ‑forfeitable right to dividends irrespective of whether dividends are actually declared or paid or the awards ultimately vest. Accordingly, the Company computes earnings per share pursuant to the two ‑class method in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share.

The diluted earnings per common share computations exclude stock options and RSUs which are antidilutive. Weighted ‑average antidilutive shares for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were 1.3 million and 0.7 million, respectively.

14. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER EXIT COSTS

Restructuring and other exit costs were as follows (in thousands):

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company incurred restructuring and other exit costs of $5.9 million primarily related to sever ance and lease termination and exit costs. Such costs are associated primarily with the shutdown of certain Provide Commerce developing businesses and locations. The Company currently does not expect significant additional costs related to these actions.

15. CONTINGENCIES—LEGAL MATTERS

In 2010, FTD.COM and Classmates, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Online) received subpoenas from the Attorney General for the State of Kansas and the Attorney General for the State of Maryland, respectively. These subpoenas were issued on behalf of a Multistate Work Group that consists of the Attorneys General for the following states: Alabama, Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin. The primary focus of the inquiry concerned certain post transaction sales practices in which these companies previously engaged with certain third party vendors. In the second quarter of 2012, FTD.COM and Classmates, Inc. received an offer of settlement from the Multistate Work Group consisting of certain injunctive relief and the consideration of two areas of monetary relief: (1) restitution to consumers and (2) a $20 million payment by these companies for the violations alleged by the Multistate Work Group and to reimburse the Multistate Work Group for its investigation costs. FTD.COM and Classmates, Inc. rejected the Multistate Work Group’s offer. Following additional discussions with the Multistate Work Group, on December 23, 2014, FTD.COM and Classmates, Inc. submitted a proposal to resolve the matter without admitting liability by making a settlement payment in an aggregate amount of $8 million relating to both companies and $2.5 million restitution by Classmates, Inc. to a group of purchasers of its subscription services. On January 15, 2015, the Multistate Work Group responded to the companies’ December 23, 2014, offer with a counter offer seeking a payment from FTD.COM and Classmates, Inc. of $8 million relating to both companies and restitution from Classmates, Inc. of $3 million. In March 2015, FTD.COM and Classmates, Inc. accepted the Multistate Work Group’s latest counter offer. Final settlement agreements were approved by the respective court in each of the States listed above and the respective settlement payments, totaling $2.8 million, were made by FTD.COM to the various states in 2015.

There are no assurances that additional governmental investigations or other legal actions will not be instituted in connection with the Company’s former post ‑transaction sales practices or other current or former business practices. The Company cannot predict the outcome of governmental investigations or other legal actions or their potential implications for its business.

The Separation and Distribution Agreement which was executed between FTD and United Online in connection with the Company’s November 2013 separation from United Online (the “Separation”) provides United Online with the right to control the litigation and settlement of certain litigation matters that relate to United Online, its predecessors and its consolidated subsidiaries and the Company, its predecessors and its consolidated subsidiaries, and which were asserted before the Separation, as well as specified litigation matters which are asserted after the Separation. These matters include matters relating to the Company’s former post ‑transaction sales practices or other current or former business practices described above. The Separation and Distribution Agreement also provides for the allocation of liabilities and expenses between United Online and the Company with respect to these matters. In May 2015, FTD and United Online entered into an amendment to the Separation and Distribution Agreement providing for the parties to jointly coordinate the litigation and settlement of certain specified litigation matters which are asserted after the Separation. In addition, pursuant to such amendment, the foregoing obligations of the parties will terminate on May 20, 2017, provided that for certain matters that may be pending as of such date, such obligations will terminate no later than May 20, 2019. The Separation and Distribution Agreement also establishes procedures with respect to claims subject to indemnification, insurance claims, and related matters. The Company and United Online may not prevail in future claims and any judgments against the Company, or settlement or resolution of such claims may involve the payment of significant sums, including damages, fines, penalties, or assessments, or changes to the Company’s business practices.

In December 2008, Interflora, Inc. (in which the Company has a two ‑thirds ownership interest) and Interflora issued proceedings against Marks and Spencer plc (“Marks and Spencer”) seeking injunctive relief, damages, interest, and costs in an action claiming infringement of U.K. trademark registration number 1329840 and European Community trademark registration number 909838, both for the word “Interflora”. Marks and Spencer did not make a counterclaim.

In July 2009, the High Court of Justice of England and Wales (the “High Court”), referred certain questions to the Court of Justice of European Union (“CJEU”) for a preliminary ruling. In September 2011, the CJEU handed down its judgment on the questions referred by the High Court. In February 2012, the High Court scheduled the trial for April 2013. In September 2012, Interflora executed an indemnity agreement by which Interflora agreed to indemnify Interflora, Inc. against all losses and expenses arising out of this action which Interflora, Inc. may incur after July 10, 2012. The trial in this matter concluded in April 2013. In May 2013, the High Court ruled that Marks and Spencer infringed the Interflora trademarks. In June 2013, the High Court issued an injunction prohibiting Marks and Spencer from infringing the Interflora trademarks in specified jurisdictions and ordered Marks and Spencer to provide certain disclosures in order for damages to be quantified. The High Court granted Marks and Spencer permission to appeal the ruling. The appeal was heard by the Court of Appeal at a hearing held July 8-10, 2014. On November 5, 2014, the Court of Appeal issued its judgment upholding the appeal but did not determine the case in favor of either party, and instead remitted the case for a retrial by the High Court. On November 12, 2014, the Court of Appeal determined the order from its judgment, which became effective as of November 18, 2014, setting aside the order of the High Court from June of 2013. The part of the order lifting the injunction prohibiting Marks and Spencer from infringing the Interflora trademarks was lifted on December 2, 2014. At a case management conference on June 18, 2015, the High Court ordered that the parties take certain steps to allow it to determine the scope of the evidence at a resumed case management conference in November and ordered that the parties attend court to set a date for a six day retrial before the High Court. In October 2015, this matter was resolved pursuant to the terms of a confidential settlement agreed to by the parties. The confidential settlement is subject to final documentation , and its impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements will be immaterial.

Commencing on August 19, 2009, the first of a series of consumer class action lawsuits was brought against Provide Commerce, Inc. and co-defendant Regent Group, Inc. d/b/a Encore Marketing International (“EMI”). These cases were ultimately consolidated during the next three years into Case No. 09 CV 2094 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California under the title In re EasySaver Rewards Litigation. Plaintiffs’ claims arise from their online enrollment in subscription based membership programs known as EasySaver Rewards, RedEnvelope Rewards, and Preferred Buyers Pass (collectively the “Membership Programs”). Plaintiffs claim that after they ordered items from certain of Provide Commerce’s websites, they were presented with an offer to enroll in one of the Membership Programs, each of which is offered and administered by EMI. Plaintiffs purport to represent a putative nationwide class of consumers allegedly damaged by Provide Commerce’s purported unauthorized or otherwise allegedly improper transferring of the putative class members’ billing information to EMI, who then posted allegedly unauthorized charges to their credit or debit card accounts for membership fees for the Membership Programs. On February 22, 2010, Provide Commerce and EMI respectively filed motions to dismiss. On August 13, 2010, the court entered an order granting in part and denying in part the motions. Between August 13, 2010 and December 2011, plaintiffs filed various amended complaints and added or dismissed certain named plaintiffs. Plaintiffs filed the fourth amended complaint on December 14, 2011. The fourth amended complaint is the operative complaint. Plaintiffs assert ten claims against Provide Commerce and EMI in the fourth amended complaint: (1) breach of contract (against Provide Commerce only); (2) breach of contract (against EMI only); (3) breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (4) fraud; (5) violations of the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act; (6) unjust enrichment; (7) violation of the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (against EMI only); (8) invasion of privacy; (9) negligence; and (10) violations of the Unfair Competition Law. Plaintiffs assert their claims individually and on behalf of a putative nationwide class. Plaintiffs sought damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs. Provide Commerce and EMI filed motions to dismiss the claims of plaintiffs Lawler, Walters, Cox, and Dickey on January 24, 2012. The motions to dismiss were fully briefed as of February 23, 2012, but the court had not yet conducted a hearing or ruled on the motions. The parties participated in numerous settlement conferences and mediations throughout the case in an effort to resolve this matter. On April 9, 2012, the parties reached an agreement on the high level terms of a settlement, conditioned on the parties negotiating and executing a complete written agreement. In the weeks following April 9, 2012, the parties negotiated a formal written settlement agreement (“Settlement”). Upon reaching the Settlement, the hearing on the motions to dismiss was vacated, and Provide Commerce and EMI have not answered the fourth amended complaint in light of the Settlement. The court granted the plaintiffs’ unopposed motion for preliminary approval of the Settlement on June 13, 2012. After notice to the

class and briefing by the parties, the court conducted a final approval hearing (also known as a fairness hearing) on January 28, 2013, and took the matter under submission at the conclusion of the hearing. On February 4, 2013, the court entered its final order approving class action settlement, granting plaintiffs’ motion for attorneys’ fees, costs, and incentive awards, and overruling objections filed by a single objector to the Settlement. The court entered judgment on the settlement on February 21, 2013. The objector filed a notice of appeal with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on March 4, 2013. After the completion of briefing, the Ninth Circuit set oral argument on the appeal for February 2, 2015. But on January 29, 2015, the Ninth Circuit entered an order deferring argument and resolution of the appeal pending the Ninth Circuit’s decision in a matter captioned Frank v . Netflix , No. 12 15705+. The Ninth Circuit issued its opinion in Frank v . Netflix , No. 12 15705+ on February 27, 2015, affirming the district court’s approval of a settlement between Walmart and a class of Netflix DVD subscribers. On March 19, 2015, the Ninth Circuit entered an order vacating the judgment in this matter and remanding it to the district court for further proceedings consistent with Frank v. Netflix . The Ninth Circuit’s mandate issued on April 14, 2015, and the matter is now pending before the district court to consider final approval of the Settlement in light of Frank v. Netflix . On April 23, 2015, the district court entered an order reopening the case and ordering the parties to jointly submit a memorandum summarizing the import of the Frank v. Netflix decision and stating their intentions going forward. On May 4, 2015, such memorandum was filed by the parties and the objector also filed his own memorandum regarding these same topics on such date. After receiving the parties and objector’s memoranda, the district court ordered supplemental briefing on the issue of final settlement approval on May 21, 2015. The parties filed their respective opening supplemental briefs on June 18, 2015, the objector filed his opposition supplemental brief on July 2, 2015, and the parties filed their respective reply supplemental briefs on July 16, 2015. The district court has not yet set the hearing date for the pending final settlement approval motion.

The Company records a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. The Company may be unable to estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss due to various reasons, including, among others: (i) if the damages sought are indeterminate, (ii) if the proceedings are in early stages, (iii) if there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals, motions or settlements, (iv) if there are significant factual issues to be determined or resolved, and (v) if there are novel or unsettled legal theories presented. In such instances, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, if any. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company had reserves totaling $3.5 million and $5.4 million, respectively, for estimated losses related to certain legal matters. With respect to other legal matters, the Company has determined, based on its current knowledge, that the amount of possible loss or range of loss, including any reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts already accrued, is not reasonably estimable. However, legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. As such, there can be no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Items Affecting Comparability of Financial Results

As the Acquisition was completed on December 31, 2014, the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , did not include the operations of the Provide Commerce segment. The financial information provided related to Provide Commerce for the quarter and nine months

These unaudited pre ‑acquisition results of operations of Provide Commerce do not purport to be indicative of the results of future operations of the Provide Commerce segment or the results that would have actually been attained had the Acquisition been completed on or prior to January 1, 2014.

KEY BUSINESS METRICS

We review a number of key business metrics to help us monitor our performance and trends affecting our segments, and to develop forecasts and budgets. These key metrics include the following:

Segment operating income. Our chief operating decision maker uses segment operating income to evaluate the performance of our business segments and to make decisions about allocating resources among segments. Segment operating income is operating income excluding depreciation, amortization, litigation and dispute settlement charges and gains, transaction and integration ‑related costs, and restructuring and other exit costs. Stock ‑based compensation and general corporate expenses are not allocated to the segments. Segment operating income is prior to intersegment eliminations and excludes other income (expense). See Note 3—“Segment Information” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10 ‑Q for a reconciliation of segment operating income to consolidated operating income and consolidated income before income taxes.

Consumer orders. We monitor the number of consumer orders for floral, gift, and related products during a given period. Consumer orders are orders delivered during the period that originated in the U.S. and Canada, primarily from the www.ftd.com , www.proflowers.com , www.berries.com , and www.personalcreations.com websit es, associated mobile sites and applications, the 1 ‑800 ‑SEND ‑FTD telephone number and various other telephone numbers; and in the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland, primarily through the www.interflora.co.uk, www.flyingflowers.co.uk, and www.interflora.ie websites, associated mobile sites and applications , and various telephone numbers. The number of consumer orders is not adjusted for non ‑delivered orders that are refunded on or after the scheduled delivery date. Orders originating with a florist or other retail location for delivery to consumers are not included as part of this number.

Average order value. We monitor the average value for consumer orders delivered in a given period, which we refer to as the average order value. Average order value represents the average amount received for consumer orders delivered during a period. The average order value of consumer orders within our Consumer, International, and Provide Commerce segments is tracked in their local currency, the U.S. Dollar (“USD”) for both the Consumer and Provide Commerce segments and the British Pound (“GBP”) for the International segment. The local currency amounts received for the International segment are then translated into USD at the average currency exchange rate for the period. Average order value includes merchandise revenues and shipping or service fees paid by the consumer, less discounts and refunds (net of refund ‑related fees charged to floral network members).

Average revenues per member. We monitor average revenues per member for our floral network members in the Florist segment. Average revenues per member represents the average revenues earned from a member of our floral network during a period. Revenues include services revenues and products revenues, but exclude revenues from sales to non ‑members. Floral network members include our retail florists and other non ‑florist retail locations who offer floral and gifting solutions. Average revenues per member is calculated by dividing Florist segment revenues for the period, excluding sales to non ‑members, by the average number of floral network members for the period.

The table below sets forth, for the periods presented, our consolidated revenues, segment revenues, segment operating income, consumer orders, average order values, average revenues per member, and average currency exchange rates. The results of operations for Provide Commerce for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , are set forth below and were derived from the unaudited pre ‑Acquisition results of operations of Provide Commerce. These unaudited pre ‑Acquisition results of operations of Provide Commerce have been included herein for informational

BUSINESS SEGMENT OPERATING RESULTS

Prior to the Acquisition, the Company reported its business operations in three reportable segments: Consumer, Florist, and International. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company began reporting its business in four reportable segments: Consumer, Florist, International, and Provide Commerce. Segment operating income is operating income excluding depreciation, amortization, litigation and dispute settlement charges or gains, transaction and integration ‑related costs, and restructuring and other exit costs. Stock ‑based compensation and general corporate expenses are not allocated to the segments. Segment operating income is prior to intersegment eliminations and excludes other income (expense).

Florist segment operating margin remained consistent at 29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 .

We present certain results from our International segment on a constant currency basis. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if foreign currency exchange rates had remained constant period ‑over ‑period. Our International segment operates principally in the U.K. We calculate constant currency by applying the foreign currency exchange rate for the prior period to the local currency results for the current period.

International Segment Revenues

International segment revenues decreased $ 1.8 million, or 5% , (increased $ 0.9 million, or 3% , in constant currency), for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 , compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2014 . The increase in revenues in constant currency was primarily due to an increase in average order value of 2% . In addition, revenues from Interflora’s florist business increased, driven by sales of wholesale products and increases in member fee revenues.

International segment revenues decreased $ 9.5 million, or 7% , (increased $ 1.8 million, or 1% , in constant currency), for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 . The increase in revenues in constant currency was primarily due to an increase in average order value of 2% . In addition, revenues increased in Interflora’s florist business , driven by sales of wholesale products and increases in member fee revenues. These increases were partially offset by a 2% decrease in consumer order volume, primarily related to declines in the Valentine’s Day and U.K. Mother’s Day holiday periods, offset in part by growth in order volume outside of these holiday periods in the first half of the year.

International Segment Operating Income

International segment operating income decreased $ 0.3 million, or 8% , ($0.1 million, or 3%, in constant currency), for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 , compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2014 . Revenues decreased $ 1.8 million (increased $ 0.9 mi llion in constant currency) which was offset in part by a decrease in operating expenses of $ 1.5 million ($ 1.0 million increase in constant currency). Cost of revenues decreased $ 1.5 million (increased $ 0.4 million in constant currency) . In constant currency, the increase in cost of revenues was primarily driven by an increase in average order value as well as costs associated with increased wholesale revenues. Sales and marketing expenses increased $ 0.1 million ($ 0.5 million in constant currency) due to increased brand marketing spend. International segment operating margin remained consistent at 10% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 , compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2014 .

Unallocated expenses	$	11,198	$	10,292	$	906	9	%	$	36,252	$	25,130	$	11,122	44	%

Unallocated expenses include various corporate costs, such as corporate finance, legal, and certain human resources costs. In addition, unallocated expenses include stock ‑based compensation for all eligible Company employees, restructuring and other exit costs, transaction and integration ‑related costs, and litigation a nd dispute settlement charges and gains.

Unallocated expenses increased $ 0.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 , compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2014 . The increase in unallocated expenses was primarily due to an increase in personnel ‑related costs of $2.8 million, due to increased headcount, stock ‑based compensation, and other compensation costs. We also incurred restructuring and other exit costs of $ 1.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. During the quarter ended September 30, 2015 , costs related to audit and other professional fees and insurance increased $0.6 million compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2014 . Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in transaction and integration ‑related costs of $2.3 million and a decrease in litigation and dispute settlement charges ( net of insurance recoveries ) of $1.6 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2015 , compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2014 .

Unallocated expenses increased $ 11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 . During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we incurred restructuring and other exit costs of $ 5.9 million , primarily associated with the Acquisition, compared to $ 0.2 million of restructuring costs incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 . During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , transaction and integration ‑related costs also increased $1.2 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 . Personnel ‑related costs increased $5.2 million, primarily due to increased headcount, stock ‑based compensation, and other compensation costs. Costs related to audit and other professional fees and insurance increased $1.8 million. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in litigation and dispute settlement charges ( net of insurance recoveries ) of $2.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 .

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

2013 Credit Agreement

On July 17, 2013, FTD Companies, Inc. entered into a credit agreement (the “2013 Credit Agreement”) with Interflora British Unit, certain wholly ‑owned domestic subsidiaries of FTD Companies, Inc. party thereto as guarantors, the financial institutions party thereto from time to time, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as joint lead arrangers and book managers, and Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent for the lenders, which provided for a $350 million five ‑year revolving credit facility. On July 17, 2013, FTD Companies, Inc. drew $220 million of the $350 million revolving credit facility and used this, together with approximately $19 million of its existing cash balance, to repay amounts outstanding under its previous credit facility in full and to pay fees and expenses related to the 2013 Credit Agreement.

On September 19, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2013 Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). Among other things, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided for a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million, the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of outstanding revolving loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and also provided for a revolving loan advance (the “Acquisition Advance”) to finance the cash portion of the Acquisition purchase price. On December 31, 2014, we borrowed $120 million under the Acquisition Advance to fund the cash portion of the Acquisition purchase price.

The obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of FTD Companies, Inc.’s wholly ‑owned domestic subsidiaries (together with FTD Companies, Inc., the “U.S. Loan Parties”). In addition, the obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the U.S. Loan Parties, including a pledge of all of the outstanding capital stock of certain direct subsidiaries

Table of Contents

of the U.S. Loan Parties (except with respect to foreign subsidiaries and certain domestic subsidiaries whose assets consist primarily of foreign subsidiary equity interests, in which case such pledge is limited to 66% of the outstanding capital stock).

The interest rates applicable to borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are based on either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.50% per annum to 2.50% per annum, or a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% per annum to 1.50% per annum, calculated according to the Company’s net leverage ratio. In addition, the Company pays a commitment fee ranging from 0.20% per annum to 0.40% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The interest rates (based on LIBOR) at September 30, 2015 under the term loan and the revolving credit facility were 2.33% and 2.19%, respectively. The commitment fee rate at September 30, 2015 was 0.30%. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, affirmative covenants, and negative covenants, that, among other things, require the Company to maintain compliance with a maximum net leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, and impose restrictions and limitations on, among other things, investments, dividends, share repurchases, and asset sales, and the Company’s ability to incur additional debt and additional liens. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at September 30, 2015 .

The term loan is subject to amortization payments of $5 million per quarter and customary mandatory prepayments under certain conditions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company paid down $20 million of the amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The outstanding balance of the term loan and all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due upon maturity in September 2019.

The degree to which our assets are leveraged and the terms of our debt could materially and adversely affect our ability to obtain additional capital, as well as the terms at which such capital might be offered to us. We currently expect to have sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations for at least the next twelve months, including interest payment obligations, quarterly amortization payments and mandatory prepayments, if any, under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

Our total cash and cash equivalents balance decreased by $80.5 million to $15.1 million at September 30, 2015 , compared to $95.6 million at December 31, 2014 . Our summary cash flows for the periods presented were as follows (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
	2015		2014
Net cash provided by/(used for) operating activities	$	(2,704)	$	25,104
Net cash used for investing activities	$	(20,695)	$	(5,364)
Net cash used for financing activities	$	(56,225)	$	(4,867)

Net cash used for operating activities was $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $25.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Net cash provided by operating activities is driven by our net income adjusted for non ‑cash items including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization, deferred taxes, stock ‑based compensation, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. The change in net cash provided by/used for operating activities was due to a $58.6 million change in operating assets and liabilities and a $15.6 million decrease in net income which was partially offset by an increase of $46.4 million in non ‑cash items, primarily related to depreciation and amortization. Changes in working capital can cause variation in our cash flows provided by operating activities due to seasonality, timing, and other factors.

Net cash used for investing activities increased by $15.3 million due to payment of the post ‑closing working capital adjustment related to the Acquisition and an increase in purchases of property and equipment. We currently anticipate that our total capital expenditures for 2015 will be less than $20 million. The actual amount of future capital expenditures may fluctuate due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, potential future acquisitions and new business initiatives, which are difficult to predict and which could change significantly over time. Additionally, technological advances may require us to make capital expenditures to develop or acquire new equipment or technology in order to replace aging or technologically obsolete equipment.

Table of Contents

Net cash used for financing activities increased by $51.4 million. The increase in net cash used for financing activities was primarily due to the repayment of $35.0 million of outstanding amounts under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. In addition, we paid $20.0 million to repurchase 0.7 million shares of our common stock under the Repurchase Program, as described below, and $2.0 million related to withholding taxes on vested restricted stock units, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . We withhold shares to cover withholding taxes on vested restricted stock units and pay these taxes in cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 , we paid $3.8 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as well as $1.8 million related to withholding taxes on vested restricted stock units.

We currently expect to generate positive cash flows from operations at least for the next twelve months. We may use our existing cash balances and future cash generated from operations to fund, among other things, working capital, stock repurchases, interest payment obligations, quarterly amortization payments and mandatory prepayments, if any, under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, capital expenditures, and acquisitions.

If we need to raise additional capital through public or private debt or equity financings, strategic relationships, or other arrangements, this capital might not be available to us in a timely manner, on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise sufficient capital when needed could severely constrain or prevent us from, among other factors, developing new or enhancing existing services or products, acquiring other services, businesses, or technologies, or funding significant capital expenditures and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, as well as impair our ability to service our debt obligations. If additional funds were raised through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage of stock owned by the then ‑current stockholders could be reduced. Furthermore, such equity or any debt securities that we issue might have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to holders of our common stock. In addition, trends in the securities and credit markets may restrict our ability to raise any such additional funds, at least in the near term.

On February 27, 2014, our board of directors authorized a common stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) that allows us to repurchase up to $50 million of FTD common stock from time to time over a two ‑year period in both open market and privately negotiated transactions. No purchases were made under the Repurchase Program prior to 2015. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company has repurchased 0.7 million shares under the Repurchase Program at an average cost per share of $29.72. No repurchases were made under the repurchase Program during the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

There have been no material changes, outside the ordinary course of business, related to the Company’s contractual obligations or other commitments as disclosed in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 ‑K for the year ended December 31, 2014 .

Off ‑Balance Sheet Arrangements

At September 30, 2015 , we did not have any off ‑balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S ‑K promulgated by the SEC, that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013 ‑11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists , as codified in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740. The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. However, to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This ASU applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits

Table of Contents

when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this ASU were effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2015. The amendments were applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that existed at the effective date. This update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014 ‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The amendments in this ASU affect any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The amendments in this ASU require an entity to recognize revenue related to the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance was deferred by ASU 2015-14, issued by the FASB in August 2015, and is now effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted as of the original effective date for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently assessing the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015 ‑01, Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items, which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from GAAP. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the requirement that an entity separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments should be applied prospectively and retrospective application is permitted. We do not expect this update to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest , which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs related to a debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. Additionally in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements , to clarify that an entity may elect to present debt issuance costs related to a line-of-credit arrangement as an asset, regardless of whether or not there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The amendments in these ASUs will be effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments should be applied on a retrospective basis. We expect that these updates will reduce both other assets and the outstanding debt balance by approximately $3.1 million at September 30, 2015.

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software - Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement , which provides guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The new guidance does not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments can be applied prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory—Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory , which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. The ASU defines net realizable value as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The update does not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. The update applies to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost methods. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments must be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations —Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments . This update requires than an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are

Table of Contents

determined, including the cumulative effect of the change in provisional amount as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The adjustments related to previous reporting periods since the acquisition date must be disclosed by income statement line item either on the face of the income statement or in the notes. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments must be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. We have adopted the amendments in this update, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes related to the Company’s market risk as disclosed in Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 ‑K for the year ended December 31, 2014 .

ITEM 4. CONTROL S AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a ‑15(e) and 15d ‑15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As permitted by interpretive guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) staff, companies are allowed to exclude acquired businesses from their assessment of internal control over financial reporting during the first year after completion of an acquisition while integrating the acquired company. Accordingly, as Provide Commerce was acquired by the Company on December 31, 2014, management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 excluded Provide Commerce. Management’s evaluation and conclusion as to the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report excludes any evaluation of the internal controls of Provide Commerce. Provide Commerce’s assets and revenues represented approximately 50% and approximately 48% of the Company’s consolidated total assets and consolidated total revenues, respectively, as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 .

Changes in internal controls

As the Company completed the acquisition of Provide Commerce on December 31, 2014, the Company continues to evaluate the internal controls of Provide Commerce and the impact of Provide Commerce on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Except as described in this Item 4, during the Company’s most recent quarter, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Since the Company excluded Provide Commerce from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, such assessment did not include the material weaknesses identified by Provide Commerce’s external auditor related to the audit of the December 31, 2013 Provide Commerce financial statements. The following deficiencies were considered to be material weaknesses in Provide Commerce’s internal controls in connection with that audit:

Provide Commerce’s accounting department does not include an individual who serves as the resident expert in technical GAAP matters.

Table of Contents

Provide Commerce’s accounting department is not staffed with a sufficient number of qualified accounting resources to allow for independent reviews of accounting schedules in order to address all relevant key risk points in the underlying accounting analysis.

Provide Commerce’s general information technology (“IT”) controls (“GITCs”) are ineffective, in large part, because access to Provide Commerce’s various IT systems are not properly restricted to appropriate personnel, including administrative access rights. Further, controls are not in place to assess the completeness and accuracy of system reports given the lack of effective GITCs.

As part of the Company’s continuing review of Provide Commerce’s internal controls, the Company’s corporate accounting staff is providing expertise and oversight in relation to technical GAAP matters. In addition, the Company is implementing plans to improve the competency and staffing of the accounting department of the Provide Commerce segment. The assessment of internal controls related to information technology and the implementation of plans to improve the general information technology controls for this segment is underway. The Company will include Provide Commerce in its evaluation of internal control over financial reporting that will be included in its Annual Report on Form 10 ‑K for the year ending December 31, 2015.

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

RECITALS

A. The Corporation has implemented the Plan for the purpose of providing eligible persons in the Corporation’s Service with the opportunity to participate in one or more cash or equity incentive compensation programs designed to encourage them to continue their Service relationship with the Corporation.

B. Optionee is to render valuable services to the Corporation (or a Parent or Subsidiary), and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the Corporation’s grant of an option to Optionee.

C. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Plan unless otherwise defined in the Grant Notice or this Agreement, including on the Appendix attached hereto.

NOW, THEREFORE , it is hereby agreed as follows:

1. Grant of Option . The Corporation has awarded to Optionee, as of the Grant Date, the option to purchase up to the number of Option Shares specified in the Grant Notice. The Option Shares shall be purchasable from time to time during the option term specified in Paragraph 2 at the Exercise Price.

2. Option Term . The term of this option shall commence on the Grant Date and continue in effect until the close of business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with Paragraph 5 or 6.

3. Limited Transferability .

(a) Except to the limited extent provided in Paragraph 3(b), this option shall be neither transferable nor assignable by Optionee other than by will or the laws of inheritance following Optionee’s death and may be exercised, during Optionee’s lifetime, only by Optionee. However, Optionee may designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of this option, and this option shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death while holding this option. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred option subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which this option may, pursuant to Paragraph 5, be exercised following Optionee’s death.

(b) If this option is designated a Non-Statutory Option in the Grant Notice, then this option may, with the Plan Administrator’s consent, be assigned in whole or in part during Optionee’s lifetime through a gratuitous transfer to one or more of Optionee’s Family Members or to a trust established for the exclusive benefit of Optionee and/or one or more such

Family Members. The assigned portion shall be exercisable only by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to such assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for this option immediately prior to such assignment.

4. Dates of Exercise .

(a) This option shall become exercisable for the Option Shares in one or more installments in accordance with the Exercise Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice. As the option becomes exercisable for such installments, those installments shall accumulate, and the option shall remain exercisable for the accumulated installments until the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the option term under Paragraph 5 or 6.

(b) Optionee’s Employment Agreement sets forth certain terms and conditions under which Optionee’s equity or equity-based awards from the Corporation, including this option, may vest in whole or in part on an accelerated basis in connection with his cessation of Service under various specified circumstances. To the extent this option vests in accordance with the terms and conditions of those vesting acceleration provisions of the Employment Agreement, this option shall become immediately exercisable for the Option Shares as to which the vesting acceleration pertains and may be exercised for any or all of those Option Shares until this option terminates in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 5 or 6. The terms and provisions of the Employment Agreement (including any conditions, restrictions or limitations governing the accelerated vesting of this option, including (without limitation) the execution and delivery of an effective general release), as they apply to this option, are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement and shall have the same force and effect as if expressly set forth in this Agreement. Such vesting acceleration provisions and the conditions relating thereto shall also apply to any cash retention program established pursuant to Paragraph 6(a).

5. Cessation of Service . The option term specified in Paragraph 2 above shall terminate (and this option shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the Expiration Date should any of the following provisions become applicable:

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in subparagraphs (b) through (f) of this Paragraph 5, should Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason while this option is outstanding, then Optionee shall have until the close of business on the last business day coincident with or immediately preceding the expiration of the three (3)-month period measured from the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise this option for any or all of the Option Shares for which this option is vested and exercisable at the time of Optionee’s cessation of Service, but in no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the close of business on the last business day coincident with or immediately preceding the Expiration Date.

persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance following Optionee’s death. However, if Optionee dies while holding this option and has an effective beneficiary designation in effect for this option at the time of his or her death, then the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries shall have the exclusive right to exercise this option following Optionee’s death. Any such right to exercise this option shall lapse, and this option shall cease to be outstanding, upon the close of business on the last business day coincident with or immediately preceding the earlier of (i) the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of Optionee’s death or (ii) the Expiration Date. Upon the expiration of such limited exercise period, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any exercisable Option Shares for which the option has not otherwise been exercised.

(c) Should Optionee cease Service by reason of Disability while this option is outstanding, then Optionee shall have until the close of business on the last business day coincident with or immediately preceding the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise this option for any or all of the Option Shares for which this option is vested and exercisable at the time of such cessation of Service. In no event, however, shall this option be exercisable at any time after the close of business on the last business day coincident with or immediately preceding the Expiration Date.

(d) The applicable period of post-Service exercisability in effect pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 5 shall automatically be extended by an additional period of time equal in duration to any interval within such post-Service exercise period during which the exercise of this option or the immediate sale of the Option Shares acquired under this option cannot be effected in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, but in no event shall such an extension result in the continuation of this option beyond the close of business on the last business day coincident with or immediately preceding the Expiration Date.

(e) Should Optionee’s Service be terminated with cause, or should Optionee engage in any other conduct, while in Service or during the exercisability period following cessation of Service, that is materially detrimental to the business or affairs of the Corporation, as determined in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, then this option, whether or not vested and exercisable at the time, shall terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding.

(f) Should Optionee’s Service terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination, within the period commencing with the Corporation’s execution of a definitive agreement for a Change in Control transaction and ending with the earlier of (i) the termination of that agreement without the consummation of such Change in Control or (ii) the expiration of the twenty-four (24)-month period measured from the effective date of such Change in Control, and while this option or a Replacement Award (as defined below), as applicable, is outstanding, then this option or such Replacement Award, as applicable, shall remain so outstanding until the close of business on the last business day coincident with or immediately preceding the earliest to occur of (i) the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of such Involuntary Termination or (ii) the Expiration Date.

(g) During the limited period of post-Service exercisability provided under this Paragraph 5, this option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of

Option Shares for which this option is at the time of termination of Service vested and exercisable. Except to the extent otherwise provided in the Employment Agreement or as specifically authorized by the Plan Administrator pursuant to the terms of any other express written agreement with the Optionee, this option shall not vest or become exercisable for any additional Option Shares, whether pursuant to the normal Exercise Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice or the special vesting acceleration provisions of Paragraph 6 below, following Optionee’s cessation of Service. Upon the expiration of such limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the close of business on the last business day coincident with or immediately preceding the Expiration Date, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any exercisable Option Shares for which the option has not otherwise been exercised.

6. Special Acceleration of Option .

(a) This option, to the extent outstanding at the time of an actual Change in Control but not otherwise fully exercisable, shall automatically accelerate so that this option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of such Change in Control, become exercisable for all of the Option Shares at the time subject to this option and may be exercised for any or all of those Option Shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. However, this option shall not become exercisable on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) a Replacement Award is provided by the successor entity (or parent thereof) in accordance with Paragraph 6(c) to assume, convert or replace this option (a “Replaced Award”); or (ii) this option is replaced with a cash retention program of the successor entity (or parent thereof) which preserves the spread existing at the time of the Change in Control on any Option Shares for which this option is not otherwise at that time vested and exercisable (the excess of the Fair Market Value of those Option Shares over the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such shares) and provides for the subsequent vesting and concurrent payout of that spread in accordance with the same Exercise Schedule for those Option Shares set forth in the Grant Notice or the special vesting acceleration provisions of the Employment Agreement applicable to this option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such cash retention program shall be established for this option (or any other option granted to Optionee under the Plan) to the extent such program would otherwise be deemed to constitute a deferred compensation arrangement subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(b) Immediately following the consummation of the Change in Control, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent it is assumed, converted or replaced in the form of a Replacement Award.

event of a subsequent Change in Control). A Replacement Award may be granted only to the extent it does not result in the Replaced Award or Replacement Award failing to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the two preceding sentences are satisfied. The determination of whether the conditions of this Paragraph 6(c) are satisfied will be made by the Plan Administrator, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion.

(d) In the event of a Replacement Award, the Replaced Award shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, including if applicable to apply to the number and class of securities into which the shares of Common Stock subject to the Replaced Award would have been converted in consummation of such Change in Control had those shares actually been outstanding at the time. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made as applicable to the Exercise Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor entity (or parent thereof) may, in connection with the Replacement Award, but subject to the Plan Administrator’s approval prior to the Change in Control, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control, provided such common stock is readily tradable on an established U.S. securities exchange.

(e) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Employment Agreement with respect to accelerated vesting of equity awards in the event of a termination without cause or for good reason in connection with a Change in Control (as more fully described in the Employment Agreement) are deemed to apply to any Replacement Award.

7. Adjustment in Option . Option Shares and the other terms of this option shall be subject to adjustment upon certain corporate events as set forth in Article One, Section V(F) of the Plan. The adjustments shall be made in such manner as the Plan Administrator deems appropriate, and those adjustments shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Optionee and any other person or persons having an interest in the option.

8. Stockholder Rights . The holder of this option shall not have any stockholder rights with respect to the Option Shares until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and become a holder of record of the purchased shares, and the holder of this option shall have no rights to dividends, DER Awards or dividend equivalents with respect to this option.

9. Manner of Exercising Option .

(a) In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any part of the Option Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable, Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) must take the following actions:

(i) Execute and deliver to the Corporation a Notice of Exercise as to the Option Shares for which the option is exercised or comply with such other procedures as the Corporation may establish for notifying the Corporation, either directly or through an on-line internet transaction with a brokerage firm authorized by the Corporation to effect such option exercises, of the exercise of this option for one or more Option Shares.

(ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased Option Shares in one or more of the following forms:

(A) cash or check made payable to the Corporation; or

(B) shares of Common Stock (whether delivered in the form of actual stock certificates or through attestation of ownership in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation) held for the requisite period (if any) necessary to avoid any resulting charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date; or

(C) withholding by the Corporation of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under the option in satisfaction of the Exercise Price, with such withheld shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date; or

(D) to the extent both permitted by law and the option is exercised for vested shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (i) to a brokerage firm (reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation for purposes of administering such procedure in accordance with the Corporation’s pre-clearance/pre-notification policies) to effect the immediate sale of all or a sufficient portion of the purchased shares so that such brokerage firm can remit to the Corporation, on the settlement date, sufficient funds out of the resulting sale proceeds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for all the purchased shares plus all applicable Withholding Taxes and (ii) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm on such settlement date.

Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure is utilized in connection with the option exercise, payment of the Exercise Price must accompany the Notice of Exercise (or other notification procedure) delivered to the Corporation in connection with the option exercise.

(iii) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation that the person or persons exercising the option (if other than Optionee) have the right to exercise this option.

(iv) Make appropriate arrangements with the Corporation (or Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the satisfaction of all applicable Withholding Taxes.

(b) As soon as practical after the Exercise Date, the Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares (either in paper or electronic form), with the appropriate legends affixed thereto.

10. Compliance with Laws and Regulations .

(a) The exercise of this option and the issuance of the Option Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the Corporation and Optionee with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable regulations of any Stock Exchange on which the Common Stock is listed for trading at the time of such exercise and issuance.

(b) The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option shall relieve the Corporation of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Corporation, however, shall use its best efforts to obtain all such approvals.

11. Successors and Assigns . Except to the extent otherwise provided in Paragraphs 3 and 6 above, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Corporation and its successors and assigns and Optionee, Optionee’s assigns, the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Optionee’s estate and any beneficiaries of this option designated by Optionee.

12. Notices . Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal corporate offices and directed to the attention of the Stock Plan Administrator. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to Optionee at the most current address then indicated for Optionee on the Corporation’s employee records or shall be delivered electronically to Optionee through the Corporation’s electronic mail system. All notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or delivery through the Corporation’s

electronic mail system or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

13. Construction . This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby are made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to the terms of the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall be controlling. All decisions of the Plan Administrator with respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in this option.

14. Governing Law . The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.

15. Excess Shares . If the Option Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as of the Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock which may without stockholder approval be issued under the Plan, then this option shall be void with respect to those excess shares, unless stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. In no event shall the option be exercisable with respect to any of the excess Option Shares unless and until such stockholder approval is obtained.

16. Additional Terms Applicable to an Incentive Option . In the event this option is designated an Incentive Option in the Grant Notice, the following terms and conditions shall also apply to the grant:

(a) This option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option if (and to the extent) this option is exercised for one or more Option Shares: (i) more than three (3) months after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or Permanent Disability or (ii) more than twelve (12) months after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee by reason of Permanent Disability.

(b) No installment under this option shall qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which such installment first becomes exercisable hereunder would, when added to the aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of the Common Stock or other securities for which this option or any other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should such One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation be exceeded in any calendar year, this option shall nevertheless become exercisable for the excess shares in such calendar year as a Non-Statutory Option.

(c) Should the exercisability of this option be accelerated upon a Change in Control, then this option shall qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option only to

the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which this option first becomes exercisable in the calendar year in which the Change in Control transaction occurs does not, when added to the aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of the Common Stock or other securities for which this option or one or more other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation be exceeded in the calendar year of such Change in Control, the option may nevertheless be exercised for the excess shares in such calendar year as a Non-Statutory Option.

(d) Should Optionee hold, in addition to this option, one or more other options to purchase Common Stock which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year as this option, then for purposes of the foregoing limitations on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options, this option and each of those other options shall be deemed to become first exercisable in that calendar year, on the basis of the chronological order in which such options were granted, except to the extent otherwise provided under applicable law or regulation.

17. Employment at Will . Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Optionee any right to remain in Employee status for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing Optionee) or of Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate Optionee’s Employee status at any time for any reason, with cause or without cause.

18. Plan Prospectus . Optionee may obtain a copy of the official prospectus for the Plan by accessing Optionee’s portfolio on ___________ website ( ___________ ). Optionee may also obtain a printed copy of the prospectus by contacting the Stock Plan Administrator.

19. Optionee Acceptance . Optionee must accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement either electronically through the electronic acceptance procedure established by the Corporation or through a written acceptance delivered to the Corporation in a form satisfactory to the Corporation. In no event shall this option be exercised in the absence of such acceptance.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF , FTD Companies, Inc. has caused this Agreement to be executed on its behalf by its duly-authorized officer on the day and year first indicated in the Grant Notice.

However, if Optionee dies while holding this option and has an effective beneficiary designation in effect for this option at the time of his or her death, then the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries shall have the exclusive right to exercise this option following Optionee’s death. Any such right to exercise this option shall lapse, and this option shall cease to be outstanding, upon the close of business on the last business day coincident with or immediately preceding the earlier of (i) the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of Optionee’s death or (ii) the Expiration Date. Upon the expiration of such limited exercise period, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any exercisable Option Shares for which the option has not otherwise been exercised.

for any or all of the Option Shares for which this option is vested and exercisable at the time of such cessation of Service. In no event, however, shall this option be exercisable at any time after the close of business on the last business day coincident with or immediately preceding the Expiration Date.

(e) Should Optionee’s Service be terminated for Cause, or should Optionee engage in any other conduct, while in Service or during the exercisability period following cessation of Service, that is materially detrimental to the business or affairs of the Corporation, as determined in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, then this option, whether or not vested and exercisable at the time, shall terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding.

(f) Should Optionee’s Service terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, and while this option or a Replacement Award (as defined below), as applicable, is outstanding, then this option or such Replacement Award, as applicable, shall remain so outstanding until the close of business on the last business day coincident with or immediately preceding the earliest to occur of (i) the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of such Involuntary Termination or (ii) the Expiration Date.

(g) During the limited period of post-Service exercisability provided under this Paragraph 5, this option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of Option Shares for which this option is at the time of termination of Service vested and exercisable. Except to the extent (if any) specifically authorized by the Plan Administrator pursuant to an express written agreement with the Optionee, this option shall not vest or become exercisable for any additional Option Shares, whether pursuant to the normal Exercise Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice or the special vesting acceleration provisions of Paragraph 6 below, following Optionee’s cessation of Service. Upon the expiration of such limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the close of business on the last business day coincident with or immediately preceding the Expiration Date, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any exercisable Option Shares for which the option has not otherwise been exercised.

6. Special Acceleration of Option .

provided by the successor entity (or parent thereof) to Optionee in accordance with Paragraph 6(c) to assume, convert or replace this option (a “Replaced Award”); or (ii) this option is replaced with a cash retention program of the successor entity (or parent thereof) which preserves the spread existing at the time of the Change in Control on any Option Shares for which this option is not otherwise at that time vested and exercisable (the excess of the Fair Market Value of those Option Shares over the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such shares) and provides for the subsequent vesting and concurrent payout of that spread in accordance with the same Exercise Schedule for those Option Shares set forth in the Grant Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such cash retention program shall be established for this option (or any other option granted to Optionee under the Plan) to the extent such program would otherwise be deemed to constitute a deferred compensation arrangement subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Replacement Award” means an award: (i) of the same type (e.g., time-based stock options) as the Replaced Award; (ii) that has a value at least equal to the value of the Replaced Award; (iii) that relates to publicly traded equity securities of the Corporation or its successor in the Change in Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Corporation or its successor following the Change in Control; (iv) if Optionee is subject to U.S. federal income tax under the Code, the tax consequences of which to Optionee under the Code are not less favorable to Optionee than the tax consequences of the Replaced Award; and (v) the other terms and conditions of which are not less favorable to Optionee than the terms and conditions of the Replaced Award (including the provisions that would apply in the event of a subsequent Change in Control). A Replacement Award may be granted only to the extent it does not result in the Replaced Award or Replacement Award failing to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the two preceding sentences are satisfied. The determination of whether the conditions of this Paragraph 6(c) are satisfied will be made by the Plan Administrator, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion.

(e) Immediately upon an Involuntary Termination of Optionee’s Service within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control in which Optionee is provided a Replacement Award, the Replacement Award, to the extent outstanding at the time but not otherwise fully exercisable, shall automatically vest and become exercisable with respect to all of the Option Shares at the time subject to the Replacement Award and may be exercised for any or all of those Option Shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. In no event, however, shall the number of additional Option Shares for which the Replacement Award becomes exercisable on such an accelerated basis exceed the number of Option Shares for which the Replacement Award is not otherwise exercisable at the time of such Involuntary Termination in accordance with the normal Exercise Schedule. The balance credited to any cash retention program maintained for Optionee pursuant to Paragraph 6(a) at the time of his or her Involuntary Termination within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control shall also fully vest and become immediately payable upon such Involuntary Termination.

(f) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

9. Manner of Exercising Option .

(ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased Option Shares in one or more of the following forms:

(A) cash or check made payable to the Corporation; or

(iii) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation that the person or persons exercising the option (if other than Optionee) have the right to exercise this option.

(iv) Make appropriate arrangements with the Corporation (or Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the satisfaction of all applicable Withholding Taxes.

10. Compliance with Laws and Regulations .

14. Governing Law . The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.

Common Stock issuable under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. In no event shall the option be exercisable with respect to any of the excess Option Shares unless and until such stockholder approval is obtained.

(c) Should the exercisability of this option be accelerated upon a Change in Control, then this option shall qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option only to the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which this option first becomes exercisable in the calendar year in which the Change in Control transaction occurs does not, when added to the aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of the Common Stock or other securities for which this option or one or more other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation be exceeded in the calendar year of such Change in Control, the option may nevertheless be exercised for the excess shares in such calendar year as a Non-Statutory Option.

18. Plan Prospectus . Optionee may obtain a copy of the official prospectus for the Plan by accessing Optionee’s portfolio on ___________ website ( _________ ). Optionee may also obtain a printed copy of the prospectus by contacting the Stock Plan Administrator.

is outstanding, then Optionee shall have until the close of business on the last business day coincident with or immediately preceding the expiration of the three (3)-month period measured from the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise this option for any or all of the Option Shares for which this option is vested and exercisable at the time of Optionee’s cessation of Service, but in no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the close of business on the last business day coincident with or immediately preceding the Expiration Date.

(b) In the event Optionee ceases Service by reason of his or her death while this option is outstanding, then this option may be exercised, for any or all of the Option Shares for which this option is vested and exercisable at the time of Optionee’s cessation of Service, by (i) the personal representative of Optionee’s estate or (ii) the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance following Optionee’s death.

Upon the expiration of such limited exercise period, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any exercisable Option Shares for which the option has not otherwise been exercised.

(c) Should Optionee cease Service by reason of Permanent Disability while this option is outstanding, then Optionee shall have until the close of business on the last business day coincident with or immediately preceding the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise this option for any or all of the Option Shares for which this option is vested and exercisable at the time of such cessation of Service.

6. Special Acceleration of Option .

(a) This option, to the extent outstanding at the time of an actual Change in Control but not otherwise fully exercisable, shall automatically accelerate so that this option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of such Change in Control, become exercisable for all of the Option Shares at the time subject to this option and may be exercised for any or all of those Option Shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. However, this option shall not become exercisable on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) a Replacement Award is provided by the successor entity (or parent thereof) to Optionee in accordance with Paragraph 6(c) to assume, convert or replace this option (a “Replaced Award”); or (ii) this option is replaced with a cash retention program of the successor entity (or parent thereof) which preserves the spread existing at the time of the Change in Control on any Option Shares for which this option is not otherwise at that time vested and exercisable (the excess of the Fair Market Value of those Option Shares over the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such shares) and provides for the subsequent vesting and concurrent payout of that spread in accordance with the same Exercise Schedule for those Option Shares set forth in the Grant Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such cash retention program shall be established for this option (or any other option granted to Optionee under the Plan) to the extent such program would otherwise be deemed to constitute a deferred compensation arrangement subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder to the extent applicable.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the two preceding sentences are satisfied. The determination of whether the conditions of this Paragraph 6(c) are satisfied will be made by the Plan Administrator, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion.

(d) In the event of a Replacement Award, the Replaced Award shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, including, if applicable, to apply to the number and class of securities into which the shares of Common Stock subject to the Replaced Award would have been converted in consummation of such Change in Control had those shares actually been outstanding at the time. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made, as applicable, to the Exercise Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor entity (or parent thereof) may, in connection with the Replacement Award, but subject to the Plan Administrator’s approval prior to the Change in Control, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control, provided such common stock is readily tradable on an established U.S. securities exchange.

7. Adjustment in Option . Option Shares and the other terms of this option shall be subject to adjustment upon certain corporate events as set forth in Article One, Section

(b) The grant of this option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted repeatedly in the past.

(c) All decisions with respect to future grants of options, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator.

(d) Optionee is voluntarily participating in the Plan.

(f) This option and any Option Shares acquired under the Plan are not part of Optionee’s normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

(g) In the event that Optionee’s employer is not the Corporation, the grant of the option will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Corporation and, furthermore, the grant of the option will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with Optionee’s employer or any Parent or Subsidiary.

(h) The future value of the underlying Option Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.

(i) In consideration of the grant of this option, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this option or diminution in value of this option or any of the Option Shares issuable under this option from termination of Optionee’s employment by the Corporation or Optionee’s employer, as applicable (and for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract or local labor laws), and Optionee irrevocably releases Optionee’s employer, the Corporation and its Parent and Subsidiaries, as applicable, from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, Optionee shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim.
