LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Feb. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: HAIN) ("Hain Celestial" 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, 2018. The results contained herein are presented with the Hain Pure Protein operating segment being treated as a discontinued operation given the Company's previously announced decision to divest the business.

The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (PRNewsfoto/The Hain Celestial Group, Inc.)

"We are creating a new strategic direction to take Hain Celestial to the next level of performance," commented Mark L. Schiller, Hain Celestial's President and Chief Executive Officer.  "Although we are not satisfied with our near-term performance, we are starting to see sequential improvement in our numbers and are working diligently to restore profitable growth in the United States, while continuing our profit momentum in the United Kingdom and Europe.  My team and I have been in similar situations during our previous roles, which gives us confidence in our abilities to execute Hain Celestial's business transformation. We believe we have a core set of high margin brands, with mainstream potential, competing in fast-growing categories, and we plan to simplify our business in order to focus more resources towards these high potential opportunities to seek to deliver attractive returns to stockholders."

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS1

  • Gross margin of 19.6%, a 210 basis point decrease over the prior year period; adjusted gross margin of 20.3%, a 240 basis point decrease over the prior year period as a result of planned higher trade and promotional investments and increased freight and commodity costs in the United States.
  • Operating loss of $15.4 million compared to operating income of $31.0 million in the prior year period; adjusted operating income of $29.9 million compared to $49.5 million in the prior year period.

SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Hain Celestial United States
Hain Celestial United States net sales in the second quarter decreased 4% over the prior year period to $259.2 million; when adjusted for Acquisitions, Divestitures and certain other items including the Project Terra SKU rationalization3, net sales would have decreased 1%. The decline in the United States segment was primarily driven by declines in the Pantry and Better-For-You Baby platforms, partially offset by an increase in the Better-For-You Snack platform. United States net sales were also impacted by the previously disclosed strategic decision to no longer support certain lower margin SKUs. Segment operating income in the second quarter was $7.2 million, a 67% decrease from the prior year period, and adjusted operating income was $13.4 million, a 57% decrease over the prior year period, driven primarily by higher planned trade investments to drive future period growth and increased freight and commodity costs.

Hain Celestial United Kingdom
Hain Celestial United Kingdom net sales in the second quarter decreased 5% to $225.3 million over the prior year period, or 1% after adjusting for Foreign Exchange, Acquisitions and Divestitures and certain other items3. The results for the United Kingdom segment reflect an 8% decline in Hain Daniels, or a decline of 4% after adjusting for Foreign Exchange, Acquisitions and Divestitures and certain other items3, primarily driven by declines from the New Covent Garden Soup Co.®, Hartley's® and Cully & Sully® brands, offset in part by growth in the Linda McCartney® and Sun-Pat® brands.  The net sales decrease in the United Kingdom segment was partially offset by 2% growth from Tilda® while Ella's Kitchen® was relatively flat, or increased 6% and 3%, respectively, after adjusting for Foreign Exchange, Acquisitions and Divestitures and certain other items3. Segment operating income was $14.7 million, an 8% increase over the prior year period, and adjusted operating income was $18.1 million, an increase of 11% over the prior year period.

Rest of World
Rest of World net sales in the second quarter decreased 8% to $99.7 million over the prior year period, or 3% after adjusting for Foreign Exchange, Acquisitions and Divestitures and certain other items3. Net sales for Hain Celestial Canada decreased 12%, or 7% after adjusting for Foreign Exchange, Acquisitions and Divestitures and certain other items3, primarily driven by declines from the Europe's Best® and Dream® brands and private label sales, offset in part by growth from the Yves Veggie Cuisine®, Live Clean® and Tilda® brands. Net sales for Hain Celestial Europe were relatively flat, or increased 3% on a constant currency basis, primarily driven by strong performance from the Joya® brand and private label sales, offset in part by declines from the Danival®, Lima® and Dream® brands. Net sales for Hain Ventures, formerly known as Cultivate Ventures, decreased 17%, or 14% after adjusting for Foreign Exchange, Acquisitions and Divestitures and certain other items3, primarily driven by declines from the Blueprint®, Westsoy®, SunSpire® and DeBoles® brands, offset in part by growth from the Health Valley® and Yves Veggie Cuisine® brands. Segment operating income in the second quarter was $8.4 million, a $2.2 million decrease over the prior year period. Adjusted operating income was $9.3 million, an 18% decrease over the prior year period.

Hain Pure Protein Discontinued Operations
As previously disclosed on May 5, 2018, the results of operations, financial position and cash flows related to the operations of the Hain Pure Protein business segment have been moved to discontinued operations in the current and prior periods. The Company continues to make substantial progress and expect to complete the divestiture of the Hain Pure Protein operating segment in the coming months. Net sales for Hain Pure Protein in the second quarter were $147.2 million, a decrease of 7% compared to the prior year period. Segment operating loss in the second quarter was $59.6 million and included a $54.9 million pre-tax non-cash impairment charge.

Fiscal Year 2019 Guidance
The Company updated its annual guidance for continuing operations for fiscal year 2019:

  • Total net sales of $2.320 billion to $2.350 billion, a decrease of approximately 4% to 6% as compared to fiscal year 2018.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $185 million to $200 million, a decrease of approximately 22% to 28% as compared to fiscal year 2018.
  • Adjusted EPS of $0.60 to $0.70, a decrease of approximately 40% to 48% as compared to fiscal year 2018.

Guidance, where adjusted, is provided on a non-GAAP basis and excludes acquisition-related expenses; integration charges; restructuring charges, start-up costs, consulting fees and other costs associated with Project Terra; costs associated with the CEO Succession Agreement; unrealized net foreign currency gains or losses, accounting review and remediation costs and other non-recurring items that may be incurred during the Company's fiscal year 2019, which the Company will continue to identify as it reports its future financial results. Guidance also excludes the impact of any future acquisitions and divestitures.

The Company cannot reconcile its expected Adjusted EBITDA to net income or adjusted earnings per diluted share to earnings per diluted share under "Fiscal Year 2019 Guidance" without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net income and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.

1 This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are intended to supplement, not substitute for, comparable GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures are provided herein in the tables "Reconciliation of GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Measures."
2 Unless otherwise noted all results included in this press release are from continuing operations.
3 Refer to "Net Sales Growth at Constant Currency and Adjusted for Acquisitions, Divestitures and Other" provided herein.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures, including net sales adjusted for the impact of Foreign Exchange, Acquisitions and Divestitures and certain other items, including SKU rationalization, as applicable in each case, adjusted operating income, adjusted gross margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and operating free cash flow. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables "Reconciliation of GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Measures" for the three and six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and in the paragraphs 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 presented in accordance with GAAP.

The Company defines Operating Free Cash Flow as cash provided by or used in operating activities from continuing operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures. The Company views Operating Free Cash Flow as an important measure because it is one factor in evaluating the amount of cash available for discretionary investments.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, Operating Free Cash Flow from continuing operations was calculated as follows:

The Company's Operating Free Cash Flow from continuing operations was negative $1.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $17.8 million from the three months ended December 31, 2017.  The Company's Operating Free Cash Flow from continuing operations was negative $42.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $46.3 million from the six months ended December 31, 2017. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in net loss adjusted for non-cash charges and increased capital expenditures in the current year, offset in part by cash provided by working capital accounts.

The Company believes presenting net sales at constant 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 this information for historical periods, 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 foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

The Company provides net sales adjusted for constant currency, acquisitions and divestitures, and certain other items including SKU rationalization, as applicable in each case, to understand 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 defines EBITDA as net (loss) income from continuing operations (a GAAP measure) before income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, equity in net loss (income) of equity-method investees, stock-based compensation expense in connection with the Succession Plan, long-lived asset and intangible impairments and unrealized currency gains and losses. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before acquisition-related expenses, including integration and restructuring charges, and other non-recurring items. 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.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was calculated as follows:
