Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 12, 2026, The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (“Hain Celestial” or the “Company”), for itself and through certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Sellers”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with entities (the “Purchasers”) affiliated with global private equity firm AURELIUS, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Purchasers have agreed to acquire from the Sellers (the “International Business Transaction”) the entities (the “Target Entities”) that operate Hain Celestial’s International business in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Europe, including Ella’s Kitchen® baby and kids foods, Joya® and Natumi® plant-based beverages, Hartley’s® jelly, as well as Cully & Sully®, Yorkshire Provender®, and New Covent Garden® soups (collectively, the “International Business”).
The gross sale price for the International Business Transaction is £233.0 million, plus an additional locked box ticker amount expected to be approximately £5.5 million (depending on the date on which closing occurs) to compensate the Sellers for profits of the International Business during a specified period, for an estimated aggregate gross sale price of £238.5 million, or approximately $323.2 million. The aggregate net cash proceeds to be realized, after transaction expenses and taxes and including cash to be distributed from the International Business prior to closing, are expected to be between £225.1 million and £228.8 million, or between approximately $305.0 million and $310.0 million. Upon closing of the International Business Transaction, the Company would use the net proceeds to reduce the Company’s indebtedness. The foregoing U.S. Dollar figures are based on current foreign exchange rates and are subject to change based on foreign exchange rates in effect at the time the International Business Transaction closes.
Consummation of the International Business Transaction is subject to the following closing conditions: (1) customary regulatory consents, approvals or non-objections from regulatory authorities in the United Kingdom, Austria, Ireland, Germany and Belgium, and (2) by October 12, 2026, the Company and its lenders entering into an amendment of the Company’s credit agreement, which currently has a maturity date of December 22, 2026, to extend such maturity date by not less than nine months. If the credit agreement amendment is not entered into by October 12, 2026, the Purchasers may terminate the Purchase Agreement.
The Company remains in active discussions with its lenders to reach an agreement on an amendment of the Company’s credit agreement that would satisfy the closing condition for the International Business Transaction. While there can be no assurance that a credit agreement amendment will be obtained, the Company’s Board of Directors believes that extending the maturity date and completing the International Business Transaction would be in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders.
Subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions, the International Business Transaction is currently expected to close in the Company’s fiscal second quarter ending December 31, 2026.
The Purchase Agreement provides for customary covenants, including covenants requiring that the Sellers operate the International Business in the ordinary course and refrain from taking certain actions without the Purchasers’ consent during the period from the date of the Purchase Agreement to the closing of the International Business Transaction. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary warranties and undertakings of the Sellers, including warranties relating to the operation of the International Business, in each case subject to various materiality and other customary qualifiers. Additionally, the Purchasers’ recourse with respect to certain of the Sellers’ warranties is limited to recovery against a third-party warranty and indemnity insurance policy procured by the Purchasers. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary warranties and undertakings of the Purchasers, subject to materiality and other customary qualifiers.
The Target Entities to be sold in the International Business Transaction are:

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

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.

HAIN CELESTIAL ENTERS INTO DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT TO SELL INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
Sale would simplify Hain’s portfolio and create a focused North American business;
Net proceeds from the transaction would be used to reduce debt
HOBOKEN, New Jersey, Sept. 14, 2026 — As part of its ongoing strategic review, Hain Celestial announced today it has reached a definitive agreement to sell its International business to global private equity firm AURELIUS for an estimated $323 million in cash. Net proceeds from the transaction are expected to range between $305 million and $310 million. Upon closing of the transaction, the proceeds would be used to reduce the Company’s debt. The agreement reflects the Board of Directors’ continued work to advance the Company’s strategic review, evaluate available alternatives and pursue paths designed to maximize value for all stakeholders.
The sale will include the majority of Hain’s International business operations and is inclusive of brands such as Ella's Kitchen® baby and kids foods, Joya® and Natumi® plant-based beverages, Hartley’s® jelly, as well as Linda McCartney® Foods, Cully & Sully®, Yorkshire Provender®, and New Covent Garden® soups, among others.
Alison Lewis, Hain Celestial’s President and CEO, said, “Completing the transaction announced today would advance our strategy to simplify our portfolio and enable us to focus our resources on further reducing the Company’s debt. The resulting North American business would feature leading brands in attractive categories with a more streamlined operating model and greater focus on core growth opportunities.”
The Company’s resulting portfolio of brands in North America will include Celestial Seasonings® teas, The Greek Gods® yogurt and Earth's Best® Organic across its flagship categories of tea, yogurt and baby & kids foods. The portfolio also includes Spectrum® Organic cooking oils, MaraNatha® nut butters and Imagine® broths.
Lewis continued, “I want to recognize the incredible people behind our International brands and business. Their dedication, expertise and commitment over many years is greatly appreciated. They have built remarkable brands, which we are confident will thrive under the new ownership.”
Hain Celestial remains in discussions with its lenders regarding an amendment to its credit agreement to extend the maturity date beyond December 22, 2026. The transaction with AURELIUS is conditioned upon the Company securing this amendment and may be terminated by AURELIUS if the amendment is not obtained within 30 days of signing. While there can be no assurance that an amendment will be obtained, the Board believes that extending the maturity date and completing the transaction would be in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders.
The Company continues to focus on simplifying the organization and executing a plan to align its cost structure with the scale of the future North American business. Hain has developed detailed cost reduction plans and is moving with urgency to deliver these actions. The Company expects to implement cost reduction actions generating approximately $16 million of annualized savings on a run rate basis as compared to fiscal 2026. The Board and management team remain focused on
swiftly executing these actions, while continuing to evaluate and advance all available paths under the strategic review to maximize value for the benefit of all stakeholders.
The agreement with AURELIUS has been unanimously approved by the Company’s Board. The transaction is subject to closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and an amendment to the Company’s credit agreement as described above. Subject to satisfaction of those conditions, the transaction is expected to close in Hain Celestial’s fiscal second quarter ending December 31, 2026.
Goldman Sachs is serving as the Company's financial advisor on the transaction, and DLA Piper’s London team is serving as legal counsel.
The Company will discuss the proposed transaction during its Q4 2026 earnings conference call later today.
