Hain Celestial Reports Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results

Net cash provided by operations increased by approximately 250% year-over-year in fiscal 2026

HOBOKEN, N.J., Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Hain Celestial Group, Inc.

Baby & Kids
The fiscal fourth quarter organic net sales decline of 11% year-over-year was driven primarily by formula and purees in North America and purees in the UK, partially offset by growth in finger foods in North America.

The fiscal 2026 organic net sales decline of 12% year-over-year was driven primarily by purees in both regions and by formula in North America, partially offset by growth in finger foods and cereal in North America.

Beverages
The fiscal fourth quarter organic net sales decline of 2% year-over-year was due to promotional activity in North America. Fiscal fourth quarter organic net sales grew 3% year-over-year in both tea in North America and in private label non-dairy beverage in Europe.

Fiscal 2026 organic net sales increased by 1% year-over-year driven by tea in North America and private label non-dairy beverage in Europe, partially offset by branded non-dairy beverage in Europe.

Meal Prep
Fiscal fourth quarter organic net sales increased by 3% year-over-year driven primarily by growth in yogurt in North America.

Fiscal 2026 organic net sales were flat year-over-year as growth in yogurt in North America was offset by private label contract losses in spreads & drizzles and softness in plant-based meat internationally.

Snacks
Following the disposition of the North American snacks business, the snacks category is comprised of jellies in the International segment. Organic net sales declined 7% year-over-year in both the fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures, including, among others, organic net sales; adjusted gross profit and its related margin; adjusted operating income and its related margin; adjusted net (loss) income and its related margin; diluted net (loss) income per common share, as adjusted; 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, held for sale businesses, discontinued brands, 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, held for sale businesses, discontinued brands and exited product categories, the net sales of a divested business, held for sale 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 and warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net.

  • Adjusted operating income and its related margin: operating loss before goodwill impairment, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, productivity and transformation costs, certain litigation expenses, net, long-lived asset and intangibles impairment, plant closure related costs, net, proceeds from insurance claim, CEO succession costs, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net.

  • Adjusted net (loss) income and its related margin and diluted net (loss) income per common share, as adjusted: net loss, adjusted to exclude the impact of goodwill impairment, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, productivity and transformation costs, certain litigation expenses, net, long-lived asset and intangibles impairment, plant closure related costs, net, proceeds from insurance claim, CEO succession costs, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net , unrealized currency losses, loss (gain) on sales of assets, and the related tax effects of such adjustments.

  • Adjusted EBITDA and its related margin: net loss before depreciation and amortization, equity in net loss of equity-method investees, net interest expense, income taxes, stock-based compensation, net, unrealized currency losses, certain litigation expenses, net, proceeds from insurance claim, productivity and transformation costs, plant closure related costs, net, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net, CEO succession costs, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, loss (gain) on sales of assets, goodwill impairment and long-lived asset and intangibles impairment. 

  • Free cash flow: net cash provided by (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, held for sale businesses, 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, our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report on Form 10-K expected to be filed today and our other filings from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
