Hain Celestial Group (Nasdaq: HAIN) reported its fiscal first quarter 2025 financial results, ending September 30, 2024. Net sales were $395 million, down 7% year-over-year, with organic net sales decreasing by 5%. Gross profit margin increased by 90 basis points to 20.7%. The net loss was $20 million, a rise from the $10 million loss in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $22 million, slightly lower than $24 million from the previous year. Cash flow from operations was negative $11 million, and free cash flow was negative $17 million. Total debt decreased to $740 million, with a net secured leverage ratio of 3.9x.

North America saw a 6% decline in organic net sales, driven by lower snack sales due to a promotional timing shift. International sales fell by 3%, mainly in meal prep and baby & kids categories. Despite these declines, the company reaffirmed its fiscal 2025 guidance, expecting flat or better organic net sales growth, mid-single-digit adjusted EBITDA growth, and at least $60 million in free cash flow.

Hain Celestial Group (Nasdaq: HAIN) ha riportato i risultati finanziari per il primo trimestre fiscale del 2025, che si è concluso il 30 settembre 2024.

Il debito totale è diminuito a 740 milioni di dollari, con un rapporto di leva netta garantita di 3,9x.

In Nord America si è registrato un calo del 6% nelle vendite nette organiche, dovuto a un abbassamento delle vendite di snack a causa di un cambio nel periodo promozionale. Le vendite internazionali sono scese del 3%, principalmente nelle categorie pasti e bambini. Nonostante questi cali, l'azienda ha confermato le previsioni fiscali per il 2025, prevedendo una crescita delle vendite nette organiche in pareggio o migliore, una crescita dell'EBITDA rettificato a cifra singola media, e almeno 60 milioni di dollari in flusso di cassa libero.

Positive
  • Gross profit margin increased by 90 basis points to 20.7%.
  • Total debt decreased to $740 million.
  • Reaffirmed fiscal 2025 guidance with expectations of flat or better organic net sales growth and mid-single-digit adjusted EBITDA growth.
Negative
  • Net sales decreased by 7% year-over-year.
  • Net loss increased to $20 million from $10 million in the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $22 million from $24 million.
  • North America organic net sales declined by 6%.
  • International organic net sales declined by 3%.
  • Free cash flow was negative $17 million.

Insights

The Q1 FY25 results reveal concerning trends with 7% decline in net sales to $395 million and widening net losses to $20 million. Key concerns include 5% organic sales decline and negative free cash flow of $17 million. The high net secured leverage ratio of 3.9x and total debt of $740 million present significant financial risks.

While gross margin improved by 90 basis points to 20.7%, both North America and International segments showed weakness in organic growth. The company's guidance for flat organic growth and mid-single-digit EBITDA growth appears optimistic given current performance trends and challenging market conditions.

The planned promotional timing shift and expected recovery in infant formula supply provide some potential upside, but execution risks remain high given the company's current financial position and competitive pressures.

Category performance shows broad-based weakness across key segments, with particularly concerning declines in Snacks (-9% organic) and Personal Care (-11% organic). The portfolio simplification strategy and exit from certain brands may provide operational benefits but is currently creating significant top-line pressure.

The company's better-for-you positioning faces increased competition from both branded and private label alternatives. The planned growth initiatives around distribution gains and marketing investments will need to overcome challenging market dynamics and shifting consumer preferences. The improvement in Baby & Kids segment trajectory from -10% to -3% provides a modest positive signal.

Company Positioned for Growth, Reaffirms Fiscal 2025 Guidance

HOBOKEN, N.J., Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hain Celestial Group (Nasdaq: HAIN), a leading global health and wellness company whose purpose is to inspire healthier living through better-for-you brands, today reported financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“Our performance in the first quarter built upon the momentum from our foundational year by further streamlining our portfolio and operational footprint, enabling us to deliver gross margin expansion,” said Wendy Davidson, Hain Celestial President and CEO. “The capabilities we have put in place along with efficiencies stemming from our global operating model have positioned us well for growth in the back half of FY25, as expected. Accelerating growth in the back half will be driven by the promotion timing shift in snacks, the full recovery of our infant formula supply, distribution gains and brand building.   Growth will be underpinned by targeted marketing investments in several key brands and by our focus on commercial execution and channel expansion to improve availability and awareness. We will continue to leverage revenue growth management, working capital optimization, and productivity to generate fuel to invest in the business and create long-term shareholder value.”

1 Reflects the impact within reported net sales growth of the following items that are excluded from organic net sales growth: net sales from divested brands (ParmCrisps® and Thinsters® snacks brands and Queen Helene® personal care brand), discontinued brands, and exited product categories.
 

North America
The fiscal first quarter organic net sales decrease was 6% year-over-year, driven primarily by lower sales in snacks, as expected, due to the timing shift of a promotional event from the fiscal 1st quarter in 2024 into the fiscal 3rd quarter this year, as well as lower sales in meal prep, partially offset by growth in beverages.

Segment gross profit in the fiscal first quarter was $47 million, a decrease of 7% from the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit was $48 million, a decrease of 12% from the prior year period. Gross margin was 20.5%, a 90-basis point increase from the prior year period. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by reduced restructuring costs along with productivity and favorable product mix, partially offset by lower volume.   Adjusted gross margin was 20.6%, a 20-basis point decrease from the prior year period. The decrease in adjusted gross margin was driven by costs related to inflation and customer mix as well as pricing, partially offset by productivity.

Adjusted EBITDA in the fiscal first quarter was $12 million compared to $19 million in the prior year period. The decrease was driven primarily by deleverage on lower volume and inflation, partially offset by productivity. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 5.4% compared to 7.2% in the prior year period.  

International
The fiscal first quarter organic net sales decline was 3% year-over-year, due primarily to lower sales in meal prep and baby & kids.

Segment gross profit in the fiscal first quarter was $34 million, a 4% increase from the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit was also $34 million, an increase of 4% from the prior year period. Gross margin and adjusted gross margin were both 21.0%, each a 100-basis point increase from the prior year period. The increase in each case was primarily due to productivity and improved promotional efficiency, partially offset by lower volume.

Adjusted EBITDA in the fiscal first quarter was $20 million, an increase of 17% versus the prior year period, as productivity and improved promotional efficiency more than offset lower volume. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.5%, a 190-basis point improvement from the prior year period.

Snacks
The fiscal first quarter organic net sales decline of 9% year-over-year was driven by the timing shift of a promotional event that was held in the first quarter last fiscal year into the third quarter this fiscal year, as expected.  

Baby & Kids
The fiscal first quarter organic net sales decline of 3% year-over-year represented an improvement from the fiscal fourth quarter year-over-year decline of 10%. The decline in net sales was partially offset by growth in Earth’s Best® snacks.

Beverages
Fiscal first quarter organic net sales were flat year-over-year, as growth in tea and private label non-dairy beverage were offset by branded non-dairy beverage.

Meal Prep
The fiscal first quarter organic net sales decline of 5% year-over-year was driven primarily by short-term softness in private label spreads & drizzles, declines in yogurt as we cycle a customer shift to private label, and meat-free. The decline was partially offset by continued strong growth in the soup brands in the UK.  

Personal Care
The fiscal first quarter organic net sales decline was 11% year-over-year, an improvement from the fiscal fourth quarter year-over-year decline of 16%. The decline in the quarter was driven primarily by the impact of portfolio simplification as we continue to focus on the execution of our stabilization plan.

FISCAL 2025 GUIDANCE*

“We have a number of known tailwinds in the back half of the fiscal year which give us confidence in our plan to pivot to growth in fiscal 2025. We expect productivity to accelerate in the back half and we have the right initiatives in place to drive both margin expansion and net working capital improvements which will enable us to continue to reduce net debt and improve our leverage. We are pleased to reaffirm our fiscal 2025 guidance,” stated Lee Boyce, CFO.   

The company is reaffirming guidance for fiscal 2025:

  • Organic net sales growth is expected to be flat or better.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is expected to grow by mid-single digits.
  • Gross margin is expected to increase by at least 125 basis points.
  • Free cash flow is expected to be at least $60 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures, including, among others, organic net sales, adjusted operating income and its related margin, adjusted gross profit and its related margin, adjusted net loss and its related margin, adjusted loss per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and its related margin, free cash flow and net debt. The reconciliations of historic non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the tables below. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. They should be read only in connection with the company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP.

We define our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

  • Organic net sales: net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, discontinued brands and exited product categories and foreign exchange. To adjust organic net sales for the impact of acquisitions, the net sales of an acquired business are excluded from fiscal quarters constituting or falling within the current period and prior period where the applicable fiscal quarter in the prior period did not include the acquired business for the entire quarter. To adjust organic net sales for the impact of divestitures, discontinued brands and exited product categories, the net sales of a divested business, discontinued brand or exited product category are excluded from all periods. To adjust organic net sales for the impact of foreign exchange, current period net sales for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average monthly exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, rather than at the actual average monthly exchange rate in effect during the current period of the current fiscal year.
  • Adjusted gross profit and its related margin: gross profit, before plant closure related costs, net.
  • Adjusted operating income and its related margin: operating income (loss) before certain litigation expenses, net, plant closure related costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, and long-lived asset impairment.
  • Adjusted net loss and its related margin and diluted net loss per common share, as adjusted: net loss, adjusted to exclude the impact of certain litigation expenses, net, plant closure related costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, losses on sales of assets, long-lived asset impairment, unrealized currency losses (gains) and the related tax effects of such adjustments, and other costs.
  • Adjusted EBITDA: net loss before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity in net loss of equity-method investees, stock-based compensation, net, unrealized currency losses, certain litigation and related costs, plant closure related costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, losses on sales of assets, transaction and integration costs, net, long-lived asset impairment and other adjustments.
  • Free cash flow: net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment.
  • Net debt: total debt less cash and cash equivalents.

We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide useful additional information to investors about current trends in the company’s operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of operations. We provide:

  • Organic net sales to demonstrate the growth rate of net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, discontinued brands, and exited product categories and foreign exchange, and believe organic net sales is useful to investors because it enables them to better understand the growth of our business from period to period.
  • Adjusted results as important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of our Company and companies in our industry.
  • Free cash flow as one factor in evaluating the amount of cash available for discretionary investments.
  • Net debt as a useful measure to monitor leverage and evaluate the balance sheet.

We discuss the Company’s net secured leverage ratio as calculated under our credit agreement as a measure of our financial condition, liquidity and compliance with our credit agreement. For a description of the material terms of our credit agreement and risks of non-compliance with our credit agreement, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
