CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company is announcing today that its Board of Directors has approved an additional $300 million share repurchase authorization. Share repurchases under this 2021 authorization will commence after the Company's existing 2017 authorization is fully utilized. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $82.4 million remaining under the 2017 authorization. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares and the timing of such repurchases will be at the Company's discretion and will depend upon market conditions and other corporate considerations. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans, in private transactions or otherwise.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company repurchased 0.7 million shares, or 0.7% of the outstanding common stock, at an average price of $40.41 per share for a total of $27.2 million, excluding commissions, under its 2017 share repurchase authorization.

During fiscal year 2021, the Company repurchased 3.1 million shares, or 3.0% of the outstanding common stock, at an average price of $34.87 per share for a total of $107.4 million, excluding commissions, under its 2017 share repurchase authorization.

FISCAL YEAR 2022 GUIDANCE

For fiscal year 2022, compared to fiscal year 2021, the Company expects:

  • Low single digit adjusted net sales growth,
  • Adjusted gross margin expansion, and
  • Mid to high single digit adjusted EBITDA growth.

Relative to fiscal 2019, the most recent pre-pandemic period, the Company expects full year adjusted net sales growth of high single digits with adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA margin growth of at least 65% and 500 bps, respectively.

Given the elevated demand during the first half of fiscal year 2021 from the COVID-19 pandemic and the timing of the price increase, among other factors, the Company expects:

  • Net sales to be down low to mid single digits on an adjusted basis in the first half of fiscal year 2022 and up by mid to high single digits in the second half, and
  • Adjusted EBITDA to be close to flat in the first half of fiscal year 2022 and up high single digits to low double digits in the second half.

In addition, for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company expects:

  • Net sales to be down low to mid single digits on an adjusted basis but down low double digits on a reported basis, compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2021,
  • Net sales to be up by mid to high single digits on an adjusted basis compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, the most recent pre-pandemic period,
  • Adjusted gross margin expansion, compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, and
  • A mid to high teens adjusted EBITDA decrease compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, given the overlap of 70% adjusted EBITDA growth in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 versus prior year, lower sales due to divestitures, a highly inflationary environment and the timing of the Company's pricing actions.

Notes: Adjusted net sales is defined as adjusted for the impact of foreign currency changes, divestitures and discontinued brands. All references in this "Fiscal Year 2022 Guidance" section to growth or declines in adjusted net sales or adjusted EBITDA compared to a prior period represent percentage growth or percentage decline.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted operating income and its related margin, adjusted gross margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, net sales adjusted for the impact of foreign exchange, divestitures and discontinued brands, adjusted EBITDA and its related margin and operating free cash flow. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures are provided herein in the tables. Management believes 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. 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 Statements of Operations and Cash Flows presented in accordance with GAAP.

Certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are not reconciled to the comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures. The Company is not able to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts because the Company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP measures but would not impact the non-GAAP measures. Such items may include litigation and related expenses, productivity and transformation costs, impairments, gains or losses on sales of assets and businesses, foreign exchange movements and other items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's GAAP financial results.

The Company believes presenting net sales at constant currency provides useful information to investors because it provides transparency to underlying performance in the Company's consolidated net sales by excluding the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have on period-to-period comparability given the volatility in foreign currency exchange markets. To present this information for historical periods, 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. As a result, the foreign currency impact is equal to the current year results in local currencies multiplied by the change in average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

The Company provides net sales adjusted for the impact of foreign currency, divestitures and discontinued brands to understand the growth rate of net sales excluding the impact of such items. The Company's management believes net sales adjusted for such items is useful to investors because it enables them to better understand the growth of our business from period-to-period.

The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, equity in net (loss of equity-method investees, stock-based compensation, net, unrealized currency gains and losses, productivity and transformation costs, proceeds from an insurance claim, impairment of long-lived assets and intangibles, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, gains or losses on sales of assets and businesses, litigation and related expenses, plant closure related costs, SKU rationalization and inventory write-downs and other adjustments. The Company's management believes that these presentations provide useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its results of operations and financial condition. In addition, management uses these measures for reviewing the financial results of the Company as well as a component of performance-based executive compensation.

The Company defines operating free cash flow as cash provided by or used in operating activities from continuing operations (a GAAP measure) less purchases of property, plant and equipment. The Company views operating free cash flow as an important measure because it is one factor in evaluating the amount of cash available for discretionary investments.

* Notes:

(1)

The results contained in this press release are presented with the Hain Pure Protein and Tilda operating segments being treated as discontinued operations. Unless otherwise noted, all results included in this press release are from continuing operations.

(2)

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are intended to supplement, not substitute for, comparable GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures and other non-GAAP financial calculations are provided in the tables included in this press release.
