The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. reported a weak quarter with net sales of $338.4 million and a net loss of $106.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. For the nine-month period, net sales were $1.09 billion and the net loss reached $243.0 million, driven by substantial non-cash goodwill and intangible impairments and a loss on a major business sale.
Hain completed the sale of its North American Snacks business for $111.2 million in cash and used $101.1 million of net proceeds to repay term loans, but still had $549.8 million of debt maturing on December 22, 2026 against cash of $44.3 million. Management disclosed “substantial doubt” about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern due to refinancing risk, even as it pursues additional asset sales, working capital actions and active lender engagement to address leverage and upcoming maturities.
The Hain Celestial Group reported fiscal third quarter 2026 net sales of $338.4 million, down 13% year-over-year, with organic net sales down 5.7%. The company posted a GAAP net loss of $106.3 million, narrower than the $134.6 million loss a year earlier, but adjusted net loss was $1.2 million versus adjusted net income of $6.1 million.
Adjusted EBITDA was $26.3 million, down from $33.6 million. Despite weaker sales and margins, Hain generated $38.3 million of operating cash flow and $34.5 million of free cash flow, and reduced total debt to $549.5 million, lowering net debt to $505.2 million. North America organic net sales declined 2.7%, while International fell 7.8%.
The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. adopted a 2026 Retention Plan to keep key executives and employees in place while it conducts an ongoing strategic review of its business, first announced on May 7, 2025. The plan, approved by the Compensation Committee on April 17, 2026, caps total retention bonuses at $5,000,000.
Individual retention awards will be detailed in participation notices and generally vest on the earlier of December 31, 2026 or specified milestone events or transactions, assuming continued employment. If the company terminates a participant without “Cause” and the participant signs a release, the bonus vests in full; other terminations lead to forfeiture.
The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. received a Nasdaq notice that its common stock no longer meets the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement after closing below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. The stock remains listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol HAIN for now.
The company has until September 21, 2026 to regain compliance by having a closing bid of at least $1.00 for ten consecutive business days. Hain could receive an additional 180-day period if it meets other listing standards and notifies Nasdaq it will cure the deficiency, potentially through a reverse stock split.
The company intends to monitor its share price and currently plans to propose a reverse stock split to stockholders at its 2026 annual meeting if the issue is not resolved by the compliance deadline, but there is no assurance it will regain or maintain Nasdaq compliance.
