 PROFILE
IOS Brands (IOS) and FTD are soul mates. In fact, IOS "was" FTD -- it changed its name to IOS to develop other brands and to distinguish it from its largest subsidiary, Florists' Transworld Delivery, Inc. (FTDI). The world's #1 floral delivery service, FTDI links more than 18,000 North American florists and some 52,000 other florists in 150-plus countries. IOS provides the connecting technology, handles billing and marketing, and sells floral-related products. FTDI owns about 98% of FTD.COM, its Internet arm. Formed in 1910, the original firm offered the first flowers-by-wire service; it was a not-for-profit co-op until 1994. Chairman Richard Perry, Bain Capital, and FleetBoston Financial now own most of IOS.
