Hain Celestial Reports First Quarter Fiscal Year 2019 Financial Results
Reiterates Fiscal 2019 Guidance

Lake Success, NY, November 8, 2018 - 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 first quarter ended September 30, 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.
“We have an incredible opportunity at Hain Celestial to accelerate the mission and purpose envisioned 25 years ago, as we further build consumer awareness and access to our organic, natural and better-for-you brands,” said Mark L. Schiller, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hain Celestial. “Initially, I will be focused on, the improvement of our operational and financial results, particularly in the United States. Looking ahead, I am eager to work with our entire team to further integrate our global operations to achieve sustainable sales growth and cost-savings synergies and deliver long-term value for our stockholders.”

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS1 
 
Summary of First Quarter Results from Continuing Operations2 

Net sales decreased 5% to $560.8 million compared to the prior year period, or a 4% decrease on a constant currency basis.

Gross margin of 17.8%, a 320 basis point decrease over the prior year period; adjusted gross margin of 19.0%, a 250 basis point decrease over the prior year period as a result of planned higher trade and promotional investments in the United States and increased freight and commodity costs.

SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Hain Celestial United States
Hain Celestial United States net sales in the first quarter decreased 8% over the prior year period to $244.0 million; when adjusted for Acquisitions, Divestitures and certain other items including the 2017 and 2018 Project Terra SKU rationalization3, net sales would have decreased 4%. The decline in the United States segment was primarily driven by declines in the Pantry and Better-For-You Snacks platforms, partially offset by an increase in the Pure Personal Care platform. The Pure Personal Care Platform’s strong growth for the first quarter was offset, in part, by production challenges within the quarter. United States net sales also were impacted by the previously disclosed strategic decision to no longer support certain lower margin SKUs and focus on the Top 500 SKUs in order to reduce complexity and increase gross margin over time. Segment operating income in the first quarter was $2.2 million, a 90% decrease from the prior year period, and adjusted operating income was $7.7 million, a 67% decrease over the prior year period, driven primarily by higher planned trade investments to drive future period growth and increased freight and logistics costs.
Hain Celestial United Kingdom
Hain Celestial United Kingdom net sales in the first quarter decreased 2% to $218.6 million over the prior year period, or relatively flat after adjusting for Foreign Exchange, Acquisitions and Divestitures and certain other items3. The results for the United Kingdom segment reflect a 4% decline in Hain Daniels, or a decline of 2% after adjusting for Foreign Exchange, Acquisitions and Divestitures and certain other items3, primarily driven by declines from New Covenant Garden Soup Co.®, Johnson’s Juice Co.®, and Yorkshire Provender® brands, offset in part by growth in the Linda McCartney’s® and Hartley’s® brands. The net sales decrease in the United Kingdom segment was partially offset by 4% growth from Tilda® and 8% growth from Ella’s Kitchen®, or 5% and 9% growth, respectively, after adjusting for Foreign Exchange, Acquisitions and Divestitures and certain other items3. Segment operating income was $4.0 million, a 58% decrease from the prior year period, and adjusted operating income was $10.7 million, a decrease of 18% over the prior year period.
Rest of World
Rest of World net sales in the first quarter decreased 5% to $98.3 million over the prior year period, or 2% after adjusting for Foreign Exchange, Acquisitions and Divestitures and certain other items3. Net sales for Hain Celestial Canada decreased 5%, or relatively flat after adjusting for Foreign Exchange, Acquisitions and Divestitures and certain other items3 , primarily driven by declines from the Europe’s Best® brand, Tilda® brand and private label sales offset in part by growth from the Yves Veggie Cuisine® and Live Clean® brands. Net sales for Hain Celestial Europe were flat, or increased 1% on a constant currency basis, primarily driven by strong performance from the Joya® and Natumi® brands offset in part by declines from the Lima® and Danival® brands. Net sales for Hain Ventures, formerly known as Cultivate Ventures, decreased 18%, or 14% after adjusting for Foreign Exchange, Acquisitions and Divestitures and certain other items3, primarily driven by declines from the Blueprint®, Westsoy® and SunSpire® brands, offset in part by growth from the Yves Veggie Cuisine® and GG UniqueFiber™ brands. Segment operating income in the first quarter was $7.8 million, a $1.2 million decrease from the prior year period. Adjusted operating income was $9.2 million, an increase of 2% 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 to complete the divestiture of the Hain Pure Protein operating segment by the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Net sales for Hain Pure Protein in the first quarter were $113.5 million, a decrease of 5% compared to the prior year period. Segment operating loss in the first quarter was $19.5 million, primarily resulting from the continued pricing pressure resulting from excess turkey inventory for the Plainville Farms business.


Fiscal Year 2019 Guidance
The Company reiterated its annual guidance for continuing operations for fiscal year 2019:
Total net sales of $2.500 billion to $2.560 billion, an increase of approximately 2% to 4% as compared to fiscal year 2018.


The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. • 1111 Marcus Avenue • Lake Success, NY 11042
516-587-5000 • www.hain.com



Adjusted EBITDA of $275 million to $300 million, an increase of approximately 7% to 17% as compared to fiscal year 2018.
Adjusted EPS of $1.21 to $1.38, an increase of approximately 4% to 19% as compared to fiscal year 2018.

The Company expects growth in net sales, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS to be weighted towards the second half of fiscal 2019 as it recovers from the production disruptions, primarily in its personal care business, experienced during the first quarter of fiscal 2019, which impacted net sales and profitability, and as it benefits from the planned Hain Celestial United States strategic brand investments, distribution gains and price optimization efforts. In addition, the timing of the annual global Project Terra cost savings and productivity benefits that are already in process are expected to accelerate as the fiscal year progresses. Details of the Project Terra cost savings and productivity with expected timing are contained in the presentation for the First Quarter Fiscal Year 2019 earnings call available under the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.hain.com.
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 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.

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 currency, 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 months ended September 30, 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 months ended September 30, 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 $40.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $28.5 million from the three months ended September 30, 2017. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease of $30.6 million in net income adjusted for non-cash charges, an increase of $11.3 million in capital expenditures offset in part by $13.4 million of 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 income from continuing operations (a GAAP measure) before income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, equity in net income of equity method investees, stock based compensation expense and unrealized currency gains. 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.
