Project Terra
As previously communicated, the Company commenced a strategic review under Project Terra and has identified approximately $100 million in global cost savings, which it expects to achieve during fiscal years 2017 through 2019.  These initiatives are expected to include optimizing plants, co-packers and procurement and rationalizing the Company’s product portfolio, and reinvesting these incremental savings into the business to further brand building efforts and household penetration.  Effective immediately, James R. Meiers has been appointed to the newly-created position of Chief Operations Officer for Hain Celestial reporting to Irwin Simon, with responsibility for achieving the cost savings across the Company’s worldwide operations.

The strategic review has also resulted in the Company redefining its core platforms for future growth based upon consumer trends to create and inspire A Healthier Way of Life™. The core platforms are now defined by common consumer need, route-to-market or internal advantage and are aligned with the Company’s strategic roadmap to continue its leadership position in the organic and natural, better-for-you industry.   

Beginning in fiscal year 2017, the Company plans to establish five strategic platforms within Hain Celestial US with the purpose to drive accelerated net sales and margin growth. The platforms will be: 

Fresh Living-includes poultry, yogurt, plant-based proteins and other refrigerated products;
Better-for-You Baby-includes infant foods, infant formula, diapers and wipe products that nurture and care for babies and toddlers;
Better-for-You Snacking-wholesome products for in-between meals;
Better-for-You Pantry-core consumer staples; and
Pure Personal Care-personal care products focused on providing consumers with cleaner and gentler ingredients.

In addition, the Company will launch Cultivate Ventures (“Cultivate”), a venture unit whose purpose is threefold:  (i) to strategically invest in the Company’s smaller brands in high potential categories such as SunSpire® chocolates and DeBoles® pasta by giving them a dedicated, creative focus for refresh and relaunch; (ii) to incubate small acquisitions until they reach the scale for the Company’s core platforms; and (iii) to invest in concepts, products and technology, which focus on health and wellness. 


2







The Company has also identified certain brands representing approximately $30 million in sales, which no longer fit into its core strategy for future growth, and it intends to sell these as a group. 

“We are excited about the launch of our new platforms in fiscal year 2017, which are uniquely aligned with consumer eating habits and usage needs,” commented Irwin Simon. “We believe our platforms represent distinct opportunities for incremental growth and margin improvement. We expect this new approach will enable us to define more distinct channel strategies for our branded product offerings, and ensure that we continue to extend our organic and natural industry leadership position.”

Fiscal Year 2016 Guidance
The Company updated its fiscal year 2016 guidance expectations:

Total net sales range of $2.946 billion to $2.966 billion, an increase of approximately 9% to 10% as compared to fiscal year 2015, and
Earnings per diluted share range of $2.00 to $2.04, an increase of approximately 6% to 9% as compared to fiscal year 2015.

Guidance is provided on a non-GAAP basis and excludes acquisition-related expenses, integration and restructuring charges, start-up costs, unrealized net foreign currency gains or losses, reserves for litigation matters 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 2016, which the Company will continue to identify as it reports its future financial results. Guidance excludes the impact of any future acquisitions.

Forward-looking statements are predictions based on expectations and projections about future events, and are not statements of historical fact. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plan”, “continue”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “predict”, “project”, “estimate”, “likely”, “believe”, “might”, “seek”, “may”, “remain”, “potential”, “can”, “should”, “could”, “future” and similar expressions, or the negative of those expressions.

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, general economic and financial market conditions; competition; our ability to respond to changes and trends in customer and consumer demand, preferences and consumption; our reliance on third party distributors, manufacturers and suppliers; the consolidation or loss of a significant customer; our ability to introduce new products and improve existing products; availability and retention of key personnel; our ability to effectively integrate our acquisitions; our ability to successfully consummate any proposed divestitures; liabilities arising from potential product recalls, market withdrawals or product liability claims; outbreaks of diseases or food-borne illnesses; potential litigation; the availability of organic and natural ingredients; our ability to manage our supply chain effectively; changes in fuel, raw material and commodity costs; effects of climate change on our business and operations; our ability to offset input cost increases; the interruption, disruption or loss of operations at one or more of our manufacturing facilities; the loss of one or more of our independent co-packers; the disruption of our transportation systems; risks associated with expansion into countries in which we have no prior operating experience; risks associated with our international sales and operations, including foreign currency risks; impairment in the carrying value of our goodwill or other intangible assets; our ability to use our trademarks; reputational damage; changes in, or the failure to comply with, government laws and regulations; liabilities or claims with respect to environmental matters; our reliance on independent certification for our products; a breach of security measures; our reliance on our information technology systems; effects of general global capital and credit market issues on our liquidity and cost of borrowing; potential liabilities not covered by insurance; the ability of joint venture investments to successfully execute business plans; dilution in the value of our common shares; and the other risks detailed from time-to-time in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, no assurance can be given as to the future results, levels of activity and achievements of the Company, 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 operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA (defined below) 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 months and nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 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 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 nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, operating free cash flow was calculated as follows:

Our operating free cash flow was $73.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $40.0 million from the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in operating free cash flow primarily resulted from an increase in net income. This was offset partially by an increase in our capital expenditures principally related to the purchase of a new factory location and production equipment in the Hain Pure Protein segment to accommodate current demand, as well as the expansion of production lines at both our ready-to-heat rice facility in the United Kingdom and our plant-based beverage facilities in Europe to accommodate new products and increased volume.

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.
