1-800-Flowers.com shares declined 24% in premarket trading after withdrawing its guidance for the near-term and soft third-quarter results.

Shares on Friday were trading around $4.40. The stock is down 26% on the year.

The floral-and-gift delivery company said it was withdrawing its guidance given the evolving macroeconomic landscape and other uncertainties.

In the latest quarter, 1-800-Flowers.com widened its loss to $178.2 million, or $2.80 a share, from $16.9 million, or 26 cents a share, in the year-ago period. Revenue declined to $331.5 million from $379.4 million.

The decline in its topline was due to lower demand from consumers, said 1-800-Flowers.com.

Revenue declined in its gourmet foods and gift baskets segment and its consumer floral and gifts segment.

Chief Executive Jim McCann, who announced he would step down, said the company was "deeply disappointed by the quarterly results."

"In this case, the best thing I can do is fire myself and hire someone who's much more skilled than I am in the areas that are important to the company going forward," McCann said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.

The company's new CEO will be Adolfo Villagomez, a former Home Depot e-commerce executive and McKinsey consultant who since 2022 has been CEO of Progress Residential.
