NEW YORK, May 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, reminds investors in FTD Companies Inc. ("FTD" or the "Company") (NYSE:FTD) of the May 19, 2017 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed against the Company and certain officers.
The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on behalf of all those who purchased FTD stock or options between March 13, 2015 and March 14, 2017 (the "Class Period"). The case, Winograd v. FTD Companies, Inc. et al., No. 17-cv-02135 was filed on March 20, 2017.
The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to maintain appropriate internal accounting controls.
Specifically, during post-market hours on March 14, 2017, FTD announced financial and operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016. The Company stated, in part, that the Company's net loss for the quarter was "primarily due to goodwill impairment charges related to the Provide Commerce segment of $84.0 million." FTD also stated that, due to identified errors, the Company 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.
After the announcement, FTD's share price fell from $23.39 per share on March 14, 2017 to a closing price of $17.85 on March 15, 2017—a $5.54 or a 23.7% drop.
