Deep Q2 loss at Hain Celestial (NASDAQ: HAIN) as sales fall

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

The Hain Celestial Group reported weaker results for its fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2025. Net sales were $384.1 million, down 7% year-over-year, with organic net sales also declining 7% as a 9-point drop in volume/mix was only partly offset by 2 points of pricing.

Gross margin fell to 19.4%, down 330 basis points, and adjusted gross margin declined to 19.5%. The company posted a net loss of $116.0 million versus a $104.0 million loss a year ago, including $132 million of non-cash impairment charges. Adjusted results deteriorated from a profit to an adjusted net loss of $2.7 million and adjusted EBITDA of $24.3 million, down from $37.9 million.

North America remained the main pressure point, with net sales down 13.7% and adjusted EBITDA down 56.9%, while International net sales grew modestly but profitability still declined. Despite earnings pressure, cash generation improved: operating cash flow rose to $37.0 million and free cash flow to $30.0 million, and net debt edged down to $636.7 million.

Positive

• Improved cash generation: Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $37.0 million from $30.9 million, and free cash flow rose to $30.0 million from $24.5 million, indicating stronger cash delivery despite weaker earnings.
• Stable leverage and modest net debt reduction: Net debt declined to $636.7 million from $650.5 million at the beginning of the fiscal year, and the company reported a net secured leverage ratio of 4.9x under its credit agreement.

Negative

• Revenue and volume decline: Net sales fell 7% year-over-year to $384.1 million, with organic net sales also down 7% driven by a 9-point decline in volume/mix across key categories.
• Margin compression: Gross margin decreased 330 basis points to 19.4%, and adjusted gross margin fell 340 basis points to 19.5%, reflecting cost inflation, lower volume/mix and unfavorable fixed-cost absorption.
• Large impairment and deeper losses: The company recorded $132 million in non-cash impairment charges on goodwill and intangibles, contributing to a GAAP net loss of $116.0 million and a shift from adjusted net income to an adjusted net loss.
• North America underperformance: North America net sales declined 13.7% and adjusted EBITDA fell 56.9% versus the prior-year quarter, with adjusted EBITDA margin dropping from 11.0% to 5.5%.

Insights

Equity analyst

Hain Celestial’s Q2 shows weaker earnings and margins despite stronger cash flow.

Hain Celestial delivered a challenging fiscal Q2, with net sales down 7% to $384.1 million and organic sales also down 7%. Volume/mix fell 9 points, only partly offset by 2 points of pricing, signaling demand and mix pressure across key categories, especially North America snacks and baby formula.

Profitability weakened sharply. Gross margin dropped 330 basis points to 19.4%, and adjusted EBITDA decreased to $24.3 million from $37.9 million. The company recorded $132 million of non-cash impairment charges on goodwill and intangibles, driving a GAAP net loss of $116.0 million. Even on an adjusted basis, results swung from a profit to a small loss.

Segment data highlight a divergence: North America net sales fell 13.7% with adjusted EBITDA down 56.9%, while International net sales grew 2.3% but with lower margins. On the positive side, net cash from operating activities improved to $37.0 million and free cash flow to $30.0 million, and net debt declined slightly to $636.7 million, giving some balance-sheet stability as management pursues its turnaround and portfolio simplification strategy.

1 Reflects the impact within reported net sales growth of the following items that are excluded from organic net sales growth: net sales from divested brands (ParmCrisps® snacks brands), held for sale businesses (Personal Care), discontinued brands, and exited product categories.

North America

Fiscal second quarter organic net sales decreased by 10% year-over-year, primarily driven by snacks and baby formula, partially offset by growth in beverages.

Segment gross profit and adjusted gross profit were each $41 million in the fiscal second quarter, representing decreases of 28% and 29%, respectively, from the prior year period. Gross margin was 20.6%, a 420-basis point decrease from the prior year period, and adjusted gross margin was 20.8%, a 440-basis point decrease from the prior year period. The decreases in margin were primarily driven by lower volume/mix, cost inflation, and unfavorable fixed cost absorption, partially offset by productivity savings and pricing.

Adjusted EBITDA in the fiscal second quarter was $11 million, compared to $25 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 57%. The decrease was primarily driven by lower gross margins, as discussed above, partially offset by a reduction in SG&A. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 5.5% of net sales compared to 11.0% of net sales in the prior year period.

International

Fiscal second quarter organic net sales decreased by 3% year-over-year, primarily driven by lower sales in baby & kids. This demonstrates sequential improvement from the 4% decrease year-over-year in organic net sales in the fiscal first quarter of 2026.

Segment gross profit and adjusted gross profit in the fiscal second quarter were both $34 million, each representing an 8% decrease from the prior year period. Gross margin and adjusted gross margin were both 18.1%, each representing a 200-basis point decrease from the prior year period. The decreases in margin were primarily driven by cost inflation, unfavorable fixed cost absorption, and lower volume/mix, partially offset by productivity savings and pricing.

Adjusted EBITDA in the fiscal second quarter was $19 million, compared to $23 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 16%. The decrease was primarily driven by lower gross margins, as discussed above. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.2% compared to 12.4% in the prior year period.

1 Reflects the impact within reported net sales growth of the following items that are excluded from organic net sales growth: net sales from divested brands (ParmCrisps® snacks brands), held for sale businesses (Personal Care), discontinued brands, and exited product categories.

Snacks

The fiscal second quarter organic net sales decline of 20% year-over-year was driven by distribution losses and velocity challenges in North America.

Baby & Kids

The fiscal second quarter organic net sales decline of 14% year-over-year was driven primarily by industry-wide volume softness in purees in the UK and by formula in North America, which was lapping supply recovery from last year.

Beverages

The fiscal second quarter organic net sales increase of 3% year-over-year was driven by growth in tea in North America. This demonstrates acceleration from the 2% year-over-year growth in organic net sales in the fiscal first quarter of 2026.

Meal Prep

The fiscal second quarter organic net sales decline of 1% year-over-year was driven primarily by spreads and drizzles in the UK, partially offset by strength in yogurt in North America.

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.

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

•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, intangibles and long-lived asset impairment, productivity and transformation costs, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, plant closure related costs, net, certain litigation expenses, net, proceeds from insurance claim, (gains) losses on sales of assets, unrealized currency losses (gains) 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 (gains), proceeds from insurance claim, certain litigation expenses, net, productivity and transformation costs, plant closure related costs, net, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, (gains) losses on sales of assets, goodwill impairment and intangibles and long-lived asset impairment.

•Free cash flow: net cash provided by 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 and our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
