Things to Know Before Hain Celestial's (HAIN) Q2 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (HAIN - Free Report) will likely register a top-line and a bottom-line decrease when it reports second-quarter fiscal 2023 earnings on Feb 7, before the market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues stands at $457 million, indicating a decline of 4.3% from the year-ago quarter’s actuals.
The consensus mark for second-quarter earnings has been stable at 14 cents in the past 30 days, suggesting a decrease of 61.1% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
We expect revenues of $453.6 million to reflect an organic decline of 0.8% year over year and the bottom line to plunge 61.7% to 14 cents per share for the fiscal second quarter.
In the last reported quarter, Hain Celestial delivered a break-even earnings surprise. This organic and natural products company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 22.4%, on average, in the trailing four quarters.
Key Factors to Note
Hain Celestial has been grappling with several challenges for a while, including inflationary pressures, supply-chain disruptions and weaker plant-based categories. HAIN has been witnessing lower sales of personal care products and certain supply shortages across many brands.
In addition, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have been acting as deterrents. We note that high raw-material inflation, elevated energy expenses and a fixed cost deleverage have been hurting the gross margin for a while now.
On its last quarter earnings call, management anticipated soft top-line results in North America during the fiscal second quarter on persistent baby formula shortages with fewer inventory to sell, a weak tea category due to warmer weather and absence of the Omicron pandemic surge from the previous year.
On the flip side, Hain Celestial’s pricing and productivity efforts seem encouraging. On its first-quarter earnings call, management had projected second-quarter consolidated adjusted net sales growth at constant currency to remain similar to the level registered in the fiscal first quarter. Hain Celestial expects the international constant currency-adjusted net sales growth to improve on a sequential basis. Given the pricing initiatives, HAIN had forecast the adjusted gross margin in the range of flat to up modestly for the quarter under review.
