Gold soars to record high over $3,900/oz amid yen slump, US rate cut bets
HOBOKEN, N.J. - Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAIN) reported disappointing fourth-quarter results on Monday, with both earnings and revenue falling short of analyst expectations as the health and wellness company continues to struggle with declining sales and profitability. HAIN stocked was up 0.6% in after hours trading following the release.
The company reported an adjusted loss per share of -$0.02 for its fiscal fourth quarter, missing analyst estimates of $0.07. Revenue came in at $363.4 million, below the consensus estimate of $379 million and down 13% compared to the same period last year. Organic net sales decreased 11% YoY, driven primarily by an 11-point decline in volume and mix.
"We are taking decisive action to optimize cash, deleverage our balance sheet, stabilize sales, and improve profitability as we recognize our performance has not met expectations," said Alison Lewis, Interim President and CEO of Hain Celestial.
The company’s North America segment was particularly weak, with organic net sales dropping 14% YoY, primarily due to lower sales in snacks and meal prep categories. The International segment saw a 6% decline in organic net sales.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter fell to $20 million from $40 million in the prior year period, reflecting the company’s ongoing challenges. The company also recorded significant non-cash impairment charges of $252 million related to goodwill and certain intangible assets.
Lewis outlined a turnaround strategy focused on five key actions: "aggressively streamlining our portfolio, accelerating innovation, implementing pricing along with revenue growth management, driving productivity and working capital efficiency, and enhancing digital capabilities."
For the full fiscal year 2025, Hain Celestial reported net sales of $1.56 billion, down 10% YoY, with organic net sales decreasing 7%. The company ended the quarter with a net secured leverage ratio of 4.7x as calculated under its credit agreement, with total debt at $705 million.
Free cash flow was negative $9 million in the fiscal fourth quarter compared to positive $31 million in the prior year period.
