The Hain Celestial Group, Inc.

The Company provided second quarter fiscal year 2016 guidance projecting net sales in the range of $740.0 million to $760.0 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.53 to $0.56, reflecting the continuing strong performance of its Hain Pure Protein Corporation segment and its international businesses in constant currency offset by certain impacts relating to the United States segment including lower consumption and reductions in shipments and inventories at certain customers.

The Company is also updating its annual guidance.  The Company's updated fiscal year 2016 guidance expectations are:

  • Total net sales range of $2.90 billion to $3.04 billion, an increase of approximately 7% to 12% as compared to fiscal year 2015, which includes a forecasted unfavorable currency impact of approximately $75 million, and
  • Earnings per diluted share range of $1.95 to $2.10, an increase of approximately 4% to 12% as compared to fiscal year 2015, which includes an estimated unfavorable currency impact of approximately $0.05 of earnings per diluted share.

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.
