Company Guidance

In the Hain Celestial earnings call for Q1 2025, the company provided guidance focusing on a pivot to growth in the second half of the fiscal year. Key metrics included an organic net sales decline of 5% for the first quarter, while adjusted EBITDA was reported at $22 million with a margin of 5.7%. The adjusted gross margin expanded to 20.8%, a 20 basis point increase from the previous year. The company reaffirmed its full-year guidance, expecting flat or better organic net sales and a mid-single-digit percentage growth in adjusted EBITDA, alongside a gross margin expansion of at least 125 basis points. Free cash flow is projected to be at least $60 million. Hain is targeting leverage reduction with a net debt of $684 million and a leverage ratio expected to trend down through the fiscal year. The guidance anticipates growth drivers in snacks, baby and kids, and beverage categories, with significant improvements in promotional timing, supply recovery, and brand-building initiatives contributing to a back-half acceleration.

Adjusted gross margin increased by approximately 20 basis points year-over-year, driven by strong productivity.
