This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) FTD’s financial statements contained errors relating to the assessment of cross-border indirect taxes; (2) as a result, FTD lacked effective internal controls over financial reporting; (3) FTD had overstated the benefits of the Provide acquisition; and (4) consequently, FTD’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On March 14, 2017, after-market hours, FTD revealed its disappointing financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016. FTD said in part, that its net loss for the quarter was “primarily due to goodwill impairment charges related to the Provide Commerce segment of $84.0 million”. FTD also said that due to identified errors, it will restate previously reported consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for the quarters in the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016. Following this news, FTD stock dropped $5.54, or 23.69%, to close at $17.85 on March 15, 2017.
