Insights
The recent financial results from Hain Celestial Group indicate a mixed performance with several key areas of concern. The company's net sales remaining flat year-over-year and a slight increase in organic net sales suggest a stagnating growth trajectory, which can be worrisome for investors looking for expansion in a competitive market. The reported net loss as opposed to net income in the prior year period is a red flag, highlighting potential issues in cost management or market challenges affecting profitability.
However, the improvement in free cash flow and reduction in total debt are positive signs of effective capital management. The revised fiscal 2024 guidance, with lower organic net sales growth and adjusted EBITDA, may adjust market expectations and could impact the stock's performance. Investors should closely monitor the company's ability to navigate the macroeconomic environment, manage inflationary pressures and execute its Hain Reimagined strategy to achieve a sustainable and profitable growth model.
The launch of the new North America Snacks product, Garden Veggie™ Flavor Burst™ and its strong acceptance among national and regional retailers, as well as online partners, could potentially boost the company's market share in the snacks category. The expansion across retail, away-from-home and e-commerce channels in core growth categories aligns with current consumer trends towards healthier living and convenience.
Despite the positive reception of new products, the North America segment's decline in net sales and adjusted EBITDA margin raises concerns about the segment's current strategies and market positioning. The international segment's performance, on the other hand, shows resilience with notable growth in net sales and adjusted EBITDA, which might be indicative of stronger brand presence and consumer demand in those markets.
The supply challenges in organic baby formula reported by Hain Celestial reflect ongoing industry-wide issues that could affect long-term consumer loyalty and brand reputation. The company's efforts in working capital management and productivity savings are crucial in mitigating the impact of these supply chain disruptions. The mention of inflation as a contributing factor to decreased gross margins and adjusted EBITDA in the North America segment suggests that Hain Celestial, like many other companies, is facing cost pressures that need to be managed efficiently to maintain profitability.
Furthermore, the strategic shift in promotional strategy and optimization of channel mix for improved trade efficiency and profitability in the Snacks category indicates a proactive approach to addressing the dynamic market conditions. The effectiveness of these strategies in the face of inflationary pressures and supply chain challenges will be critical to the company's future performance.

FISCAL 2024 GUIDANCE**
Lee Boyce, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, “We are making early progress against Hain Reimagined, especially in the delivery of fuel as planned in this foundational year of the restructure program. We have accelerated some of the initiatives outlined in the Focus Pillar, primarily portfolio and channel mix improvements. This is expected to create near-term revenue headwind as we rationalize lower margin SKUs and sales. As a result, we believe it is prudent to take a more conservative view of the balance of fiscal 2024. In addition, we expect less of a tailwind from foreign exchange than when we initially provided guidance in August. Considering these factors as well as performance year-to-date, we are adjusting our guidance for the full year.”
The company is revising guidance for fiscal 2024 as follows:
- Organic net sales growth of approximately
1% or more, compared to previous guidance of2% to4% growth.- This reflects a reduction in the expected foreign exchange tailwind assumed in our fiscal year 2024 guidance provided in August from approximately 2 points to 1 point, assuming continuation of current rates.
- Adjusted EBITDA between
$155 million and$160 million , compared to previous guidance of$155 million to$165 million , aligned to the associated revenue assumptions. - Free cashflow of
$40 t o$45 million , compared to previous guidance of$50 t o$55 million , reflecting costs associated with Hain Reimagined.

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 income and its related margin, adjusted earnings 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 and discontinued brands. 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 and discontinued brands, the net sales of a divested business or discontinued brand are excluded from all periods.
- Adjusted gross profit and its related margin: gross profit, before inventory write-downs related to exited categories, plant closure related costs, net and warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net.
- Adjusted operating income and its related margin: operating income (loss) before certain litigation expenses, net, inventory write-downs related to exited categories, plant closure related costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, CEO succession costs, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, and long-lived asset impairments.
- Adjusted net income and its related margin and diluted net income per common share, as adjusted: net (loss) income, adjusted to exclude the impact of certain litigation expenses, net, inventory write-downs related to exited categories, plant closure related costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, CEO succession costs, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, (gains) losses on sales of assets, long-lived asset impairments, unrealized currency losses and the related tax effects of such adjustments.
- Adjusted EBITDA: net (loss) income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity in net loss of equity-method investees, stock-based compensation, net, unrealized currency (gains) losses, certain litigation and related costs, inventory write-downs related to exited categories, plant closure related costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, CEO succession costs, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, (gains) losses on sales of assets, long-lived asset impairments and other adjustments.
- Free cash flow: net cash provided by or used in 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 and discontinued brands, 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 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.
