The Hain Celestial Group (HAIN) reported fiscal 2026 Q1 earnings on Nov 08, 2025, with revenue declining 6.8% to $367.88 million and a net loss widening to $20.63 million. The results missed adjusted EPS expectations but slightly exceeded revenue forecasts. The company provided no numeric guidance due to strategic review uncertainties but emphasized sequential EBITDA improvement in the second half.

Revenue

Revenue for The Hain Celestial Group decreased by 6.8% to $367.88 million in 2026 Q1, down from $394.60 million in 2025 Q1. North America’s segment saw a 11.8% year-over-year decline, driven by volume softness in snacks, while the International segment recorded a modest 0.3% increase. Beverages showed resilience with 2% organic growth, partially offsetting the broader sales contraction.

Earnings/Net Income

The company’s losses deepened to $0.23 per share in 2026 Q1 from $0.22 per share in 2025 Q1 (4.5% wider loss). Net loss widened to $-20.63 million, a 4.9% increase from $-19.66 million in the prior year. The adjusted gross margin contracted to 19.5%, down 120 basis points year-over-year, reflecting cost inflation and lower volume mix.

Post-Earnings Price Action Review

The stock price of The Hain Celestial Group surged 7.14% during the latest trading day and gained 3.45% over the most recent full trading week. However, it plummeted 15.49% month-to-date. Analysts noted the mixed performance, with positive short-term momentum clashing against broader investor caution.

CEO Commentary

Alison Lewis, Interim CEO & President, highlighted sequential organic net sales improvement in both North America and International segments despite Snacks category declines. Strategic priorities include SKU rationalization (30% reduction in North America by 2027), innovation (e.g., Garden Veggie relaunch), and operational efficiency. Lewis expressed cautious optimism about second-half growth but acknowledged challenges like industry-wide baby food softness.

Guidance

The company did not provide numeric fiscal 2026 guidance but expects positive free cash flow. CFO Lee Boyce outlined Q2 dynamics: higher marketing spend, a bonus accrual headwind, and sequential EBITDA improvement in the second half driven by SG&A reductions and Ella’s Kitchen recovery. Long-term goals include reducing net leverage to 3x adjusted EBITDA.
