Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2015
The Company reported record net sales of $696.4 million and adjusted net sales of $701.7 million, a 31% increase, as adjusted for the nut butter voluntary recall. Hain Celestial US reported record second quarter net sales of $354.0 million and record second quarter adjusted net sales of $359.3 million, an increase of 10% over the prior year second quarter, which includes a $5.3 million sales adjustment for the nut butter voluntary recall. In the United Kingdom, net sales were $200.8 million, a 38% increase which included approximately $50 million from the acquisition of Tilda, and the Rest of the World segment reported net sales of $55.4 million. Hain Pure Protein Corporation (HPPC) reported net sales of $86.2 million. The Company had strong brand contribution led by double digit growth from Sensible Portions®, The Greek Gods®, Terra®, Garden of Eatin’®, Imagine®, Little Bear®, WestSoy®, Nile Spice®, Plainville Farms®, Hartley’s®, Lima®, Natumi®, Frank Cooper’s®, Jason®, Avalon Organic® and Alba Botanica®. Sales of the Rudi’s Organic Bakery®, FreeBird® and Plainville Farms® brands acquired after the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 also contributed to the growth in net sales.

The Company earned net income of $44.6 million and adjusted net income of $55.5 million for the second quarter. Earnings per diluted share was $0.43 and on an adjusted basis was $0.54, a 26% increase from the prior year second quarter. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures for adjustments.

Fiscal Year 2015 Guidance
The Company updated its annual net sales guidance by approximately $70 million for foreign currency and in addition approximately $20 million, net, primarily related to the nut butter recall and a fire affecting its Tilda manufacturing facility:

Total net sales range of $2.650 billion to $2.675 billion; an increase of approximately 23% to 24% as compared to fiscal year 2014.
Earnings range of $1.85 to $1.89 per diluted share; an increase of 17% to 19% as compared to fiscal year 2014.

With respect to the cadence of the second half of Company’s fiscal year, the Company expects net sales to be slightly higher in the fourth quarter, as compared to the third quarter, while 40% to 45% of the Company’s earnings will be in the third quarter and the balance in the fourth quarter.

Guidance is provided for continuing operations on a non-GAAP basis and excludes acquisition-related expenses, integration and restructuring charges, factory start-up costs, unrealized net foreign currency gains or losses, reserves for litigation settlements and other non-recurring items including any product recalls or market withdrawals that have been or may be incurred during the Company’s fiscal year 2015, which the Company will continue to identify as it reports its future financial results. Guidance excludes the impact of any future acquisitions.

Such factors include, among others, the Company’s ability to achieve its guidance for net sales and earnings per diluted share in fiscal year 2015 given the economic environment in the U.S. and other markets that it sells products as well as economic, political and business conditions generally and their effect on the Company’s customers and consumers' product preferences, and the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations; changes in estimates or judgments related to the Company’s impairment analysis of goodwill and other intangible assets, as well as with respect to the Company's valuation allowances of its deferred tax assets; the Company’s ability to implement its business and acquisition strategy; the ability of the Company’s joint venture investment to successfully execute its business plan; the Company’s ability to realize sustainable growth generally and from investments in core brands, offering new products and its focus on cost containment, productivity, cash flow and margin enhancement in particular; the Company’s ability to effectively integrate its acquisitions; the Company’s ability to successfully consummate its proposed divestitures; the effects on the Company’s results of operations from the impacts of foreign exchange; competition; the success and cost of introducing new products as well as the Company’s ability to increase prices on existing products; availability and retention of key personnel; the Company’s reliance on third party distributors, manufacturers and suppliers; the Company’s ability to maintain existing customers and secure and integrate new customers; the Company’s ability to respond to changes and trends in customer and consumer demand, preferences and consumption; international sales and operations; changes in fuel, raw material and commodity costs; changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; the availability of organic and natural ingredients; the loss of one or more of the Company’s manufacturing facilities; the ability to use the Company’s trademarks; reputational damage; product liability; product recall or market withdrawal; seasonality; litigation; the Company's reliance on its information technology systems; and the other risks detailed from time-to-time in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC, including the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, no assurance can be given as to future results, levels of activity and achievements and neither the Company nor any person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net sales, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, and adjusted income from continuing operations, adjusted income per diluted share from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA (defined below) and operating free cash flow. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures including adjustments for the recall and withdrawal are presented in the tables “Reconciliation of GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Measures” for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 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 Income presented in accordance with GAAP.

The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (a GAAP measure) before income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of long lived assets, equity in the earnings of non-consolidated affiliates, stock based compensation, acquisition-related expenses, including integration and restructuring charges, and other non-recurring items. The Company’s management believes that this presentation provides 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 this measure for reviewing the financial results of the Company and as a component of performance-based executive compensation.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, adjusted EBITDA was calculated as follows:

For the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, operating free cash flow was calculated as follows:

The Company defines Operating Free Cash Flow as cash provided from or used in operating activities (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 six-months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, operating free cash flow was calculated as follows:

Operating free cash flow for the six-months ended December 31, 2014 was $28.5 million, compared to $52.7 million in the prior year period. Our current period operating free cash flow was impacted primarily by the effects of our MaraNatha® nut butter recall and working capital requirements on a higher sales base.
