HAIN: Key Factors to Watch

Hain Celestial has been contending with execution challenges in its North American portfolio, particularly within Snacks, Baby and Kids, and Celestial Seasonings tea. On the last earnings call, management pointed to underperforming promotions, less effective trade spending, and intense competition in club and mass retailers as key drags on performance. These dynamics, combined with slower-than-anticipated velocity recovery in Earth’s Best formula and a soft start to the tea season, may have contributed to weaker top-line momentum and soft margins in the quarter under review.

Issues like shelf resets at retailers, stiffer competition in healthy snacks and weak consumer response to promotions further point to operational challenges. For fiscal 2025, the company guided for organic net sales to decline 5% to 6% and adjusted EBITDA to be around $125 million, reflecting slower-than-expected volume recovery and weaker North American performance. This also indicates concerns for the fourth quarter.

Yet, international operations have returned to growth, with momentum in categories such as branded soup, non-dairy beverages and yogurt. Hain Celestial’s focus on simplifying its structure and improving supply-chain efficiency, along with efforts to enhance pricing discipline and expand digital and e-commerce capabilities, also bodes well.
