Hain Celestial Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results


Net Income of $11.0 million; Adjusted Net Income of $18.3 million

Adjusted EBITDA on Constant Currency Basis of $52.7 million

Reaffirming Full Year Fiscal 2023 Guidance

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Feb. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: HAIN) (“Hain Celestial”, “Hain” or the “Company”), a leading organic and natural products company with operations in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East providing consumers with A Healthier Way of Life®, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended December 31, 2022.

“I am honored and excited to be a part of the next phase of growth for our Company,” said Wendy P. Davidson, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In my first few weeks, I have witnessed firsthand what attracted me to the Company: leading natural and organic brands with strong growth potential, a simplified portfolio, and an organization passionate to live our purpose to inspire Healthier Living for All through healthier people, products, and planet. I look forward to continuing the work to transform our business and build a sustainable, profitable, high-growth global brand leader in the better-for-you consumer space.”

“We reported solid second quarter results, ahead of our guidance on both adjusted gross margin and adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis,” said Christopher J. Bellairs, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We continued to see sequential improvements in both the International and North American business units. While we experienced some retailer inventory reductions in North America that impacted our topline results, we continue to see strong momentum in key categories such as better-for-you snacks, baby, and yogurt. Additionally, while the European market remains somewhat uncertain, we see early indications of stabilization.”

SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS

The Company operates under two reportable segments: North America and International.

North America
North America net sales were $282.4 million, a 3% increase compared to the prior year period. When adjusted for foreign exchange, acquisitions, divestitures and discontinued brands, net sales decreased by 2% from the prior year period mainly due to retailer inventory adjustments, especially in tea, and lower sales in personal care, partially offset by higher sales in snacks.

Segment gross profit was $71.1 million, an increase of 5% from the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit was $71.1 million, an increase of 5% from the prior year period. Gross margin and adjusted gross margin were both 25.2%, representing a 60-basis point and 50-basis point increase from the prior year period, respectively. The increase was mainly driven by pricing increases and cost improvements driven by higher productivity, partially offset by inflation.

Segment operating income was $32.3 million, a 19% increase from the prior year period. Adjusted operating income was $32.3 million, a 12% increase from the prior year period. Operating income margin was 11.4%, a 160-basis point increase from the prior year period, and adjusted gross margin was 11.5%, a 100-basis point increase from the prior year period. The increase was mainly driven by pricing increases to offset inflation, productivity, and lower marketing spend.

Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis was $38.8 million, a 16% increase from the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin on a constant currency basis was 13.6%, a 150-basis point increase from the prior year period.

International
International net sales were $171.8 million, a 15% decrease compared to the prior year period. When adjusted for foreign exchange, net sales decreased 3% compared to the prior year period mainly due to continued softness in plant-based categories in Europe.

Segment gross profit was $32.7 million, a 34% decrease from the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit was $32.7 million, a decrease of 34% from the prior year period. Gross margin and adjusted gross margin were both 19.0%, representing a 550-basis point and 540-basis point decrease from the prior year period, respectively. The decrease in gross profit was mainly due to the aforementioned decrease in sales, as well as higher energy and supply chain costs and under-absorption of overhead costs at our manufacturing facilities.

Segment operating income was $11.9 million, a 56% decrease from the prior year period. Adjusted operating income was $12.5 million, a decrease of 55% from the prior year period. Operating income margin was 6.9%, a 670-basis point decrease from the prior year period, and adjusted gross margin was 7.3%, a 640-basis point decrease from the prior year period. The decrease was mainly due to lower gross profit resulting from a decline in sales, as well as higher energy and supply chain costs and under-absorption of overhead costs at our manufacturing facilities.

Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis was $21.9 million, a 36% decline from the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin on a constant currency basis was 11.2%, a 580-basis point decline from the prior year period.

FULL YEAR FISCAL 2023 GUIDANCE**

The Company is reaffirming its financial guidance for adjusted net sales and adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis of -1% to +4% compared to the prior year, driven by:

  • Stable North American topline performance with moderate price elasticities and inflation starting to plateau
  • International performance returning to growth in the second half of the year, with additional pricing actions, a benefit from private label offerings, and the lapping of both the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war and the loss of the co-manufacturing contract and
  • Overall gross margin progression versus the prior year through continued improvement in supply chain performance with improved service levels, robust productivity, and continued cost management

“We are encouraged that we continued to see sequential improvement in our business and remain on track to deliver on our 2023 financial guidance,” added Mr. Bellairs. “With the unprecedented industry-wide supply chain challenges largely behind us, we look forward to increased investment behind our brands to drive topline growth.”

** The forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures included in this section 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 certain litigation and related expenses, transaction costs associated with acquisitions and divestitures, 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures, including, among others, 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, net sales adjusted for the impact of foreign exchange, acquisitions, divestitures and discontinued brands, adjusted EBITDA and its related margin, adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis and its related margin and operating free cash flows. The reconciliations of historic non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the tables below. 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.

The Company provides net sales adjusted for the impact of foreign currency, acquisitions, divestitures and discontinued brands to demonstrate 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 believes presenting net sales adjusted for the impact of foreign 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 net sales adjusted for the impact of foreign currency, 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 monthly foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

To present net sales adjusted 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 present net sales adjusted for the impact of divestitures and discontinued brands, the net sales of a divested business or discontinued brand are excluded from all periods.

The Company provides adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis because 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 believes presenting adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis provides useful information to investors because it provides transparency to underlying performance in the Company’s adjusted EBITDA by excluding the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have on period-to-period comparability given the volatility in foreign currency exchange markets.

The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity in net loss of equity-method investees, stock-based compensation, net, unrealized currency losses (gains), certain litigation and related costs, CEO succession costs, plant closure related costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, gains on sales of assets, certain inventory write-downs, long-lived asset impairments and other adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis reflects adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, adjusted for the impact of foreign currency. To present adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis, current period adjusted EBITDA 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 monthly foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

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