Company Guidance:

Due to the significant uncertainty in the overall economy related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is not providing guidance for its full fiscal 2021 year at this time.

Regarding the fiscal second quarter:

Based on the continued strong ecommerce growth momentum that has carried into October, the Company expects to achieve total consolidated revenue growth for its second fiscal quarter in a range of 22-to-26 percent, compared with the prior year period.

The anticipated strong revenue growth in the quarter reflects expected e-commerce revenue growth of more than 40 percent, including contributions from PMall, somewhat offset by lower wholesale orders and reduced retail revenues (reflecting the closing of the Harry & David retail stores in fiscal 2020).

The Company anticipates that the strong revenue growth combined with contributions from PMall will help offset certain headwinds, including increased costs from third-party shipping vendors, higher labor expenses and higher operating costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic,

As a result, the Company anticipates achieving Adjusted EBITDA and EPS growth in a range of 18.0-to-23.0 percent for the quarter, compared with the prior year period.
