Hain Celestial Reports 13.2% Decline in Net Sales for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2026

The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. reported a significant decline in financial performance for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, with net sales of $1.35 billion, down 13.2% from $1.56 billion in the previous year. The decrease was primarily attributed to a decline in the North America segment, which saw a drop of 22.9% in net sales, largely due to divestitures and discontinued product lines. The company also faced a gross profit of $272.1 million, reflecting an 18.5% decrease from the prior year, resulting in a gross profit margin of 20.1%, down from 21.4%. The net loss for the year was $304.9 million, or $3.36 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $530.8 million, or $5.89 per diluted share, in fiscal 2025.

In terms of strategic developments, Hain Celestial has been actively restructuring its business. The company completed the sale of its North American Snacks business for $111.2 million in cash in February 2026, using the proceeds to reduce its debt. Additionally, a pending sale of its International business, expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2027, could yield net cash proceeds of approximately $305 million to $310 million, which would also be used to reduce debt. The company is currently engaged in discussions with lenders to amend its credit agreement, which matures in December 2026, to extend the maturity date by at least nine months.

Operationally, Hain Celestial's workforce consisted of approximately 1,800 employees as of June 30, 2026, with 26% based in North America and 74% internationally. The company reported that sales outside the U.S. accounted for 53% of consolidated net sales, up from 50% in the previous year. However, the company faced challenges in its International segment, with organic net sales declining by 4.3% due to lower sales in the baby and kids category, which was impacted by industry-wide volume softness.

The company has also been navigating a complex legal landscape, including ongoing litigation related to its Earth’s Best® baby food products, which have faced allegations of containing unsafe levels of heavy metals. Hain Celestial is currently involved in multiple lawsuits, including a consolidated class action and derivative litigation, which could have significant financial implications. Despite these challenges, the company remains focused on executing its strategic review and restructuring efforts to align its operations with its future business model.

Looking ahead, Hain Celestial's management has expressed optimism about the potential benefits of the pending sale of its International business and the ongoing restructuring program, which is expected to conclude by fiscal year 2028. However, the company acknowledges substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern due to its significant debt obligations and the need for successful refinancing or repayment strategies.
