DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
The Hain Celestial Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” or “Hain Celestial,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was founded in 1993. Hain Celestial is a leading global health and wellness company whose purpose is to inspire healthier living for people, communities and the planet through better-for-you brands. For more than 30 years, Hain Celestial has intentionally focused on delivering nutrition and well-being that positively impacts today and tomorrow. Headquartered in Hoboken, N.J., Hain Celestial’s products across beverages, yogurt, baby/kids and meal preparation are marketed and sold around the world. The Company operates undertwo reportable segments: North America and International.
The Company’s leading brands include Celestial Seasonings® teas, The Greek Gods® yogurt, Earth’s Best® Organic and Ella’s Kitchen® baby and kids foods, Joya® and Natumi® plant-based beverages, Hartley’s® jelly, as well as Cully & Sully®, Yorkshire Provender®, and New Covent Garden® soups, among others.
Strategic Review
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors was conducting a comprehensive review of the Company’s portfolio with the assistance of our independent financial advisor.
As part of this review, on February 27, 2026, the Company completed the sale (the “North American Snacks Transaction”) of its North American Snacks business, including Garden Veggie Snacks™, Terra® chips and Garden of Eatin’® snacks as well as certain private label products (the “North American Snacks Business”) and received $111,200 in cash, reflecting the total purchase price of $115,000 less the holdback of an estimate for a customary inventory adjustment, which was finalized following the closing. The Company used the net proceeds of $101,100 from the North American Snacks Transaction to reduce the Company’s indebtedness.
As an additional step in the strategic review, on September 12, 2026, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with entities (the “Purchasers”) affiliated with global private equity firm AURELIUS pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Purchasers have agreed to acquire from the Company (the “International Business Transaction”) the entities that operate Hain Celestial’s International business in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Europe, including Ella’s Kitchen® baby and kids foods, Joya® and Natumi® plant-based beverages, Hartley’s® jelly, as well as Cully & Sully®, Yorkshire Provender®, and New Covent Garden® soups (collectively, the “International Business”).
The gross sale price for the International Business Transaction is £233,000, plus an additional locked box ticker amount expected to be approximately£5,500 (depending on the date on which closing occurs) to compensate the Company for profits of the International Business during a specified period, for an estimated aggregate gross sale price of £238,500, or approximately $323,200. The aggregate net cash proceeds to be realized, after transaction expenses and taxes and including cash to be distributed from the International Business prior to closing, are expected to be between £225,100 and £228,800, or between approximately $305,000 and $310,000. Upon closing of the International Business Transaction, the Company would use the net proceeds to reduce the Company’s indebtedness. The foregoing U.S. Dollar figures are based on current foreign exchange rates and are subject to change based on foreign exchange rates in effect at the time the International Business Transaction closes.
Consummation of the International Business Transaction is subject to the following closing conditions: (1) customary regulatory consents, approvals or non-objections from regulatory authorities in the United Kingdom, Austria, Ireland, Germany and Belgium, and (2) by October 12, 2026, the Company and its lenders entering into an amendment of the Company’s credit agreement, which currently has a maturity date of December 22, 2026, to extend such maturity date by not less than nine months. If the credit agreement amendment is not entered into by October 12, 2026, the Purchasers may terminate the Purchase Agreement.
The Company remains in active discussions with its lenders to reach an agreement on an amendment of the Company’s credit agreement that would satisfy the closing condition for the International Business Transaction. While there can be no assurance that a credit agreement amendment will be obtained, the Company’s Board of Directors believes that extending the maturity date and completing the International Business Transaction would be in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders.
Subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions, the International Business Transaction is currently expected to close in the Company’s fiscal second quarter ending December 31, 2026.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in affiliated companies in which the Company exerts significant influence, but which it does not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. As such, consolidated net loss includes the Company’s equity in the current earnings or losses of such companies.
Unless otherwise indicated, references in these consolidated financial statements to 2026 and 2025 or “fiscal” 2026 and 2025 or other years refer to the fiscal year ended June 30 of that respective year and references to 2026 or “fiscal” 2026 refer to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
All dollar amounts in the consolidated financial statements, notes and tables have been rounded to the nearest thousands, except par values and per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated.
Going Concern and Management’s Plan
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $557,950 of debt obligations under its Credit Agreement(as defined in Note 11, Debt and Borrowings)maturing on December 22, 2026, consisting of $411,000 of loans outstanding under the Revolver and $146,950 of Term Loans (each as defined in Note 11, Debt and Borrowings). As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash of $58,078. See Note 11, Debt and Borrowings.
The pending International Business Transaction, if completed, would generate aggregate net cash proceeds of approximately $305,000 to $310,000, which would still leave the Company with significant outstanding debt obligations after using such proceeds to pay down the aggregate principal amount of the Credit Agreement. As previously disclosed, Company management has been in active engagement with the Company’s lenders and other third parties to assess opportunities to refinance the Company’s debt, extend the maturity under the Credit Agreement and evaluate potential capital raising or other strategic transactions. As of the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the Company continues to engage in such discussions, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to extend the maturity of the Credit Agreement or complete a refinancing on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.
The Company and the Board of Directors remain focused on continuing the Company’s strategic review and taking decisive actions to address the upcoming debt maturity under the Credit Agreement. The Company will continue to focus on simplifying the organization and executing a plan to align its cost structure with the scale of the future North American business following the pending International Business Transaction. The Company has developed detailed cost reduction plans and intends to move with urgency to deliver these actions while continuing to explore any and all opportunities to maximize the value of its enterprise for the benefit of all stakeholders.
Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year following the date of issuance of these financial statements due to the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to refinance or repay its debt due on December 22, 2026 because no such refinancing, retirement or extension has occurred prior to the issuance of the financial statements. Any failure to repay in full the Credit Agreement at or prior to maturity could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition, including being forced to seek relief under federal bankruptcy laws or to pursue a restructuring, wind-down, or liquidation, and holders of the Company’s common stock could experience a significant or complete loss of their investment.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, and no adjustments have been made to the financial statements to reflect the possibility of the Company’s inability to meet its debt obligations or continue as a going concern.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts within the income tax footnote disclosures have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. There were no reclassifications made to the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statement of operations, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity or consolidated statements of cash flows.
Use of Estimates
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The accounting principles used required the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates include, among others, variable consideration related to revenue recognition for trade promotions and sales incentives, allowances for credit losses and returns, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets (acquired in business combinations and analysis of impairment), stock-based compensation for market awards, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash in banks, commercial paper and deposits with financial institutions that can be liquidated without prior notice or penalty. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
In addition, cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand.
Revenue Recognition
The Company sells its products through specialty and natural food distributors, supermarkets, natural foods stores, mass-market and e-commerce retailers, food service channels and club, drug and convenience stores worldwide. The majority of the Company’s revenue contracts represent a single performance obligation related to the fulfillment of customer orders for the purchase of products. The Company recognizes revenue as performance obligations are fulfilled when control passes to customers, which is typically upon delivery of the products to its customers. Customer contracts typically contain standard terms and conditions. In instances where formal written contracts are not in place, the Company considers the customer purchase orders to be contracts based on the criteria outlined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Payment terms and conditions vary by customer and are based on the billing schedule established in contracts or purchase orders with customers, but the Company generally provides credit terms to customers ranging from 30-91 days. Therefore, the Company has concluded that contracts do not include a significant financing component.
Sales include shipping and handling charges billed to the customer and are reported net of trade promotions and sales incentives, consumer coupon programs and discounts, including estimated allowances for returns and prompt pay discounts. Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as a fulfillment activity of promise to transfer products to customers and are included in the cost of sales line item on the consolidated statements of operations.
Variable Consideration
In addition to fixed contract consideration, many of the Company’s contracts include some form of variable consideration. The Company offers various trade promotions and sales incentive programs to customers and consumers, such as price discounts, slotting fees, in-store display incentives, cooperative advertising programs, new product introduction fees and coupons. The expenses associated with these programs are accounted for as reductions to the transaction price of the products and are therefore deducted from sales to determine reported net sales. Trade promotions and sales incentive accruals are subject to significant management estimates and assumptions. The critical assumptions used in estimating the accruals for trade promotions and sales incentives include the Company’s estimate of expected levels of performance and redemption rates. The Company exercises judgment in developing these assumptions. These assumptions are based upon historical performance of the retailer or distributor customers with similar types of promotions adjusted for current trends. The Company regularly reviews and revises, when deemed necessary, estimates of costs to the Company for these promotions and incentives based on what has been incurred by the customers. The terms of most of the promotion and incentive arrangements do not exceed a year and therefore do not require highly uncertain long-term estimates. Settlement of these liabilities typically occurs in subsequent periods primarily through an authorization process for deductions taken by a customer from amounts otherwise due to the Company. Differences between estimated expense and actual promotion and incentive costs are recognized in earnings in the period such differences are determined. Actual expenses may differ if the level of redemption rates and performance were to vary from estimates.
Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract
Asthe Company’s contracts are generally shorter than one year, the Company has elected a practical expedient under ASC 606 that allows the Company to expense as incurred the incremental costs of obtaining a contract if the contract period is for one yearor less. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.
Allowances for Credit Losses
The Company routinely performs credit evaluations on existing and new customers and maintains an allowance for expected uncollectible accounts receivable which is recorded as an offset to trade accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Collectability of accounts receivable is assessed by applying a historical loss-rate methodology in accordance with ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, adjusted as necessary based on the Company’s review of accounts receivable on an individual basis, specifically identifying customers with known disputes or collectability issues, and experience with trade receivable aging categories. The Company also considers market conditions and current and expected future economic conditions to inform adjustments to historical loss data. Changes to the allowance, if any, are classified as bad debt provisions within selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. Credit losses have been within the Company’s expectations in recent years and are not material. None of the Company’s customers represented more than 10% of the trade receivables balance as of June 30, 2026. While one of the Company’s customers represented approximately 18% of the trade receivables balance as of June 30, 2025, the Company believes that there is no significant or unusual credit exposure at this time.
Based on cash collection history and other statistical analysis, the Company estimates the amount of unauthorized deductions customers have taken that the Company expects will be collected and repaid in the near future and records a chargeback receivable which is a component of trade receivables. Differences between estimated collectible receivables and actual collections are recognized in earnings in the period such differences are determined.
Sales to one customer and its affiliates approximated 13% and 18% of sales during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The Company provides write-downs for finished goods expected to become unsaleable due to age and specifically identifies and provides for slow moving or obsolete raw ingredients and packaging.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost and depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives or lease term (for leasehold improvements), whichever is shorter. The Company believes the useful lives assigned to the Company’s property, plant and equipment are within ranges generally used in consumer products manufacturing and distribution businesses. The Company’s manufacturing plants and distribution centers, and their related assets, are reviewed when impairment indicators are present by analyzing underlying cash flow projections. The Company believes no impairment of the carrying value of such assets exists other than as disclosed under Note 7, Property, Plant and Equipment, Net. Ordinary repairs and mainten ance costs are expensed as incurred. The Company utilizes the following ranges of asset lives:
| Buildings and improvements | 10 - 40 years |
|---|---|
| Machinery and equipment | 3 - 20 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | 3 - 15 years |
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the respective initial lease term or the estimated useful life of the assets and generally range from 3 to 20 years.
Software that is developed for internal use is recorded as a component of property, plant and equipment. Qualifying costs incurred to develop internal-use software are capitalized when (i) the preliminary project stage is completed, (ii) management has authorized further funding for the completion of the project and (iii) it is probable that the project will be completed and perform as intended. These capitalized costs include compensation for employees who develop internal-use software and external costs related to development of internal-use software. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Once placed into service, internally developed software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life which generally ranges from 3 to 10 years. All other expenditures, including those incurred in order to maintain the asset’s current level of performance, are expensed as incurred. The net book value of internally developed software as of June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $11,122 and $11,861, respectively, and is included as a component of Computer Hardware and Software in Note 7, Property, Plant and Equipment, Net.
Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but rather are tested at least annually for impairment, or when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company performs its annual test for impairment at the beginning of the fourth quarter of its fiscal year.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a component of an operating segment. Goodwill is tested for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test. The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company may elect not to perform the qualitative assessment for some or all reporting units and perform a quantitative impairment test. The impairment test for goodwill requires the Company to compare the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company uses a blended analysis of a discounted cash flow model and a market valuation approach to determine the fair values of its reporting units. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company would then compare the carrying value of the goodwill to its implied fair value in order to determine the amount of the impairment, if any.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are not amortized, consist primarily of acquired trademarks and tradenames. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated on an annual basis in conjunction with the Company’s evaluation of goodwill, or on an interim basis if and when events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of its indefinite-lived intangible assets below their carrying value. In assessing fair value, the Company utilizes a “relief from royalty” methodology. This approach involves two steps: (i) estimating the royalty rates for each trademark and (ii) applying these royalty rates to a projected net sales stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine fair value. If the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeds the fair value of the assets, the carrying value is written down to fair value in the period identified. This method includes significant management assumptions such as revenue growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and assumed royalty rates. Effective April 1, 2026, as part of its annual impairment testing and in connection with the ongoing strategic review and business strategy to focus on simplifying the organization and its portfolio, the Company changed the estimated useful life of its remaining intangible assets from indefinite to definite. See Note 9, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and Note 15, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information on goodwill and intangibles impairment charges.
Transfer of Financial Assets
The Company accounts for transfers of financial assets, such as non-recourse accounts receivable financing arrangements, when the Company has surrendered control over the related assets. Determining whether control has transferred requires an evaluation of relevant legal considerations, an assessment of the nature and extent of the Company’s continuing involvement with the assets transferred and any other relevant considerations. The Company has non-recourse financing arrangements in which eligible receivables are sold to third-party buyers in exchange for cash. The Company transferred accounts receivable in their entirety to the buyers and satisfied all of the conditions to report the transfer of financial assets in their entirety as a sale. The principal amount of receivables sold under these arrangements was $232,909 and $289,431 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The incremental cost of financing receivables under these arrangements is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The proceeds from the sale of receivables are included in cash provided by operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Cost of Sales
Included in cost of sales are the cost of products sold, including the costs of raw materials and labor and overhead required to produce the products, warehousing, distribution, supply chain costs, as well as costs associated with shipping and handling of inventory.
Foreign Currency Translation and Remeasurement
The assets and liabilities of international operations are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense accounts are translated at the monthly average exchange rates. Adjustments arising from the translation of the foreign currency financial statements of the Company’s international operations are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses arising from intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term nature are reported in the same manner as translation adjustments.
Gains and losses arising from intercompany foreign currency transactions that are not of a long-term nature and certain transactions of the Company’s subsidiaries which are denominated in currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency are recognized as incurred in other expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Included in selling, general and administrative expenses are advertising costs, promotion costs not paid directly to the Company’s customers, salary and related benefit costs of the Company’s employees in the finance, human resources, information technology, legal, sales and marketing functions, facility related costs of the Company’s administrative functions, research and development costs, and costs paid to consultants and third party providers for related services.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. Research and development costs amounted to $6,174 and $5,222 in fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively, consisting primarily of personnel related costs. The Company’s research and development expenditures do not include the expenditures on such activities undertaken by co-packers and suppliers who develop numerous products on behalf of the Company and on their own initiative with the expectation that the Company will accept their new product ideas and market them under the Company’s brands.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, amounted to $32,682 and $31,489 in fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. Such costs are expensed as incurred.
Proceeds from Insurance Claims
In fiscal 2026, the Company received $25,900 of proceeds from insurance claims under its Representation and Warranty (“R&W”) insurance related to one of the Company’s prior acquisitions, which was collected on January 2, 2026. There wereno proceeds received from insurance claims in fiscal 2025.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company also assesses the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including recent earnings results within taxing jurisdictions, expectations of future taxable income, the carryforward periods available and other relevant factors. Valuation allowances are provided for deferred tax assets to the extent it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be recoverable against future taxable income.
The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process prescribed by the authoritative guidance. The first step requires the Company to determine if the weight of available evidence indicates that the tax position has met the threshold for recognition; therefore, the Company must evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step requires the Company to measure the tax benefit of the tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in an income tax return as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company reevaluates the uncertain tax positions each period based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity. Depending on the jurisdiction, such a change in recognition or measurement may result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision in the period. The Company records interest and penalties in the provision for income taxes.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of financial instruments is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. At June 30, 2026 and 2025, the carrying values of financial instruments such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, as well as borrowings under the Company’s credit facility and other borrowings, approximated fair value based upon either the short-term maturities or market interest rates of these instruments.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.
The Company records all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that qualify for cash flow hedge and net investment hedge accounting treatment are recognized in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Changes in the fair value of fair value hedges, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, as well as the ineffective portion of any cash flow hedges, are recognized currently in earnings as a component of interest and other financing expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company reports cash flows arising from derivative instruments consistent with the classification of cash flows from the underlying hedged items that these derivatives are hedging. Accordingly, the cash flows associated with derivatives designated as net investment hedges and fair value hedges are classified in cash flows from investing and financing activities, respectively, on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply, or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets held and used in the business and with definite lives, when events and circumstances occur indicating that the carrying amount of the asset or its asset group may not be recoverable. An impairment test is performed when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or asset group is less than its carrying value. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset or its asset group, the Company performs test to fair value the asset or its asset group. A loss is recognized based on the amount, if any, by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group.
See Note 7, Property, Plant and Equipment, Net, Note 9, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and Note 15, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information on long-lived asset impairment charges.
Leases
Arrangements containing leases are evaluated as an operating or finance lease at lease inception. For operating leases, the Company recognizes an operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and operating lease liability at lease commencement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
With the exception of certain finance leases, an implicit rate of return is not readily determinable for the Company’s leases. For these leases, an incremental borrowing rate is used in determining the present value of lease payments and is calculated based on information available at the lease commencement date. The incremental borrowing rate is determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow funds on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The Company references market yield curves which are risk-adjusted to approximate a collateralized rate in the currency of the lease. These rates are updated on a quarterly basis for measurement of new lease obligations.
The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has elected to separate lease and non-lease components.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company uses the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date to measure fair value for service-based awards and a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of market-based awards. The Company uses historical volatility to calculate the expected volatility matching the expected holding period. The fair value of stock-based compensation awards is recognized as an expense over the vesting period using the straight-line method. For awards that contain a market condition, expense is recognized over the defined or derived service period using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Compensation expense is recognized for these awards on a straight-line basis over the service period, regardless of the eventual number of shares that are earned based upon the market condition, provided that each grantee remains an employee at the end of the performance period. Compensation expense on awards that contain a market condition is reversed if at any time during the service period a grantee is no longer an employee.
The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur at which time compensation cost previously recognized for an award that is forfeited because of failure to satisfy a condition is reversed in the period of the forfeiture.
The Company receives an income tax deduction in certain tax jurisdictions for restricted stock grants when they vest and for stock options exercised by employees equal to the excess of the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise over the option price. Excess tax benefits (tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of compensation cost recognized) are classified as a cash flow provided by operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which will require entities to disclose more detailed information in the reconciliation of their statutory tax rate to their effective tax rate. The ASU also requires entities to disclose more detailed information about income taxes paid, including by jurisdiction, pretax income (loss) from continuing operations, and income tax expense (benefit). The amendments were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company adopted this ASU effective June 30, 2026 on a prospective basis and has incorporated such enhanced disclosures in Note 12, Income Taxes.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In May 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-02, Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations to clarify the accounting treatment and reporting standards of environmental credits and environmental credit obligations. ASU 2026-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments and the effect on its future consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements to address suggestions received from stakeholders on the ASC and to make other incremental improvements to U.S. GAAP. The update represents changes that clarify, correct errors in or make other minor improvements to a broad range of topics that is intended to make it easier to understand and apply, including ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, ASC 325, Investments – Other, and ASC 958, Not-for-Profit Entities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to apply the amendments to ASC 260 retrospectively. All other amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively.

LOSS PER SHARE
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share on the consolidated statements of operations:
| Fiscal Year Ended June 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Numerator: | ||
| Net loss | $(304,923) | $(530,841) |
| Denominator: | ||
| Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding | 90,736 | 90,127 |
| Basic and diluted net loss per common share | $(3.36) | $(5.89) |
Due to the Company’s net loss in each of the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, all common stock equivalents such as stock options, unvested restricted share units and performance share units have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share. The effect of the stock options and unvested restricted share units would have been anti-dilutive to the computations. The performance share units were contingently issuable based on market conditions or performance goals and such conditions or goals had not been achieved during the respective years.
ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company announced that it was exploring strategic alternatives regarding its personal care (“PC”) business to focus on its portfolio of better-for-you food and beverages. The Company determined that its PC business was held for sale and ascribed an aggregate $11,000 of goodwill from its U.S. and Canada reporting units, which comprise the North America reportable segment, to the PC business. The operating results of the business were not significant. Although the market conditions have deteriorated, the Company continues to expect that it will sell or dispose of these assets within 12 months. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded non-cash charges of $11,200 and $26,843 to write down the carrying amount of the disposal group to its estimated fair value less cost to dispose, which was reflected within long-lived asset and intangibles impairment on the consolidated statements of operations. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Company completed the exit of the Yves Veggie Cuisine® plant-based business in Canada (“Yves”) and accordingly classified its remaining property, plant and equipment, net, with a remaining carrying value of $2,545 as held for sale. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company entered into a contract to sell the former Yves facility in Delta, Canada for 13,800 Canadian dollars (approximately $9,700 at the June 30, 2026 closing exchange rate). The sale is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter of the 2027 fiscal year.
The following table presents the major classes of assets and liabilities of the personal care and Yves Veggie Cuisine® plant-based businesses classified as held for sale:

During February 2026, the Company completed the divestiture of its North American Snacks Business. Goodwill of $57,082 was ascribed to the divested businesses on a relative fair value basis related to the North America reportable segment.
In fiscal 2026, the Company recorded aggregated non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $38,495 within its North America segment and $154,724 within its International reportable segment as a result of goodwill impairment testing discussed below. Set forth is a table of each reporting unit’s goodwill carrying value as of, and impairment charges and other activity recorded during the periods presented:
| Reporting Unit | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| (Dollars in thousands) | U.S. | U.K. | Western Europe |
| Goodwill as of June 30, 2025 | $312,321 | $116,212 | $42,138 |
| Impairment charge during three months ended December 31, 2025 | (38,495) | (81,413) | — |

| Impairment charge during three months ended June 30, 2026 | — | — | (42,293) |
| Translation | — | (3,781) | 155 |
| Goodwill as of June 30, 2026 | $216,744 | $— | $— |
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had qualitatively or quantitatively tested all goodwill associated with its reporting units for impairment and, as previously disclosed, determined that the goodwill related to the U.S. and U.K. reporting units remained at risk for potential future impairment since such reporting units were impaired in fiscal 2025.
Second quarter of fiscal 2026
During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, as a result of a continued decline in the projected performance and cash flows of the U.S. reporting unit, and in connection with the pending agreement to sell its North American Snacks Business, the Company completed an interim quantitative impairment test of goodwill. As a result of a continued decline in net sales of Hartley’s® jelly, the Company conducted an interim quantitative impairment test for the Hartley’s® jelly indefinite-lived tradename and recognized an impairment. Due to the recognition of an intangible asset impairment charge within the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) reporting unit in the International reportable segment and a continued decline in the projected performance and cash flows of the U.K. reporting unit, the Company also completed an interim quantitative impairment test of goodwill. Consequently, the
Company recognizednon-cash impairment charges of $38,495 and $81,413 to reduce the carrying values of the U.S. and U.K. reporting units goodwill, respectively. The fair value was estimated using the Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) method income approach as such method was determined to be more representative of future performance from a market participant point of view. The U.K. reporting unit’s impairment charge reflected the sales volume decline that the Company continued to experience. The discount rate in both quantitative tests also reflected an increase in the small stock premium related to a decline in the Company’s market capitalization. For the Western Europe and Ella’s Kitchen UK reporting units, the Company performed a qualitative evaluation to assess factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company concluded that the qualitatively tested reporting units’ estimated fair values exceeded their carrying amounts. The goodwill related to the U.S. and U.K. reporting units remained at risk of potential impairment if the fair value of these reporting units, and their associated assets, decreased in value due to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, decreased customer demand for products, an inability to execute management’s business strategies, or general market conditions, such as economic downturns, and changes in interest rates, including discount rates.
Third quarter of fiscal 2026
During the third quarter of fiscal 2026, as a result of a decline in the projected performance and expected future cash flows due to higher inflation resulting from the impact of the Iran conflict, the Company completed interim quantitative impairment tests of goodwill for all of its international reporting units: U.K., Western Europe and Ella’s Kitchen UK. For the U.S. reporting unit, the Company performed a qualitative evaluation to assess factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill, and concluded that the U.S. reporting unit’s estimated fair value exceeded its carrying amount. As of March 31, 2026, the U.K. reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeded its estimated fair value, resulting in the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge of $31,018 to reduce the carrying value of the U.K. reporting unit goodwill to nil. The U.K. reporting unit’s impairment charges reflected a decline in sales volume and further compression in Adjusted EBITDA that the Company continued toexperience. The fair values for the quantitatively tested reporting units were estimated using a blended approach of the DCF method income approach and the Guideline Public Company Methodology (“GPCM”) market approach. The estimated fair values of the Western Europe and Ella’s Kitchen UK reporting units exceeded their carrying amounts by 9.4% and 117.8%, respectively. The discount rate in the quantitative tests for the Western Europe and Ella’s Kitchen UK reporting units also reflected an increase in the small stock premium related to a decline in the Company’s market capitalization. The goodwill related to the U.S. and Western Europe reporting units remained at risk of potential impairment if the fair values of these reporting units, and their associated assets, decreased in value due to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, decreased customer demand for products, an inability to execute management’s business strategies, or general market conditions, such as economic downturns, and changes in interest rates, including discount rates.
Annual impairment testing as of April 1, 2026
While the Company’s annual impairment testing date is on April 1, 2026 (the first day of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026), the previously aforementioned quantitative tests for Western Europe and Ella’s Kitchen UK reporting units were utilized for the annual impairment test given there were no significant changes to the risks of these reporting units between March 31, 2026 and April 1, 2026. For the U.S. reporting unit, the previously aforementioned qualitative assessment for the U.S. reporting unit was utilized for the annual impairment test given there were no significant changes to the risks of these reporting units between March 31, 2026 and April 1, 2026.
Fourth quarter of fiscal 2026
As of June 30, 2026, as a result of a continued decline in the projected performance and cash flows of the Western Europe reporting unit on account of continued higher inflation and changing consumer preference from branded to lower margin private labels, and in connection with the pending agreement to sell its International Business, the Company completed an interim quantitative impairment test of goodwill. The Company also performed a qualitative assessment of its U.S. and Ella’s Kitchen U.K. reporting units and concluded that the estimated fair values of such reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts, which was consistent with the conclusions reached on the annual quantitative impairment testing date of April 1, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the Western Europe reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeded its estimated fair value of $89,112, resultingin the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge of $42,293 to reduce the carrying value of the Western Europe reporting unit goodwill to nil. The Western Europe reporting unit’s impairment charges primarily reflected a decline in forecasted Adjusted EBITDA. The fair value was estimated using the Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) method income approach as such method was determined to be more representative of future performance from a market participant point of view. Furthermore, given the continued known decline in the Company’s Western Europe forecasts, the discount rate utilized to measure risk in the DCF methodology increased.
Subsequent to these impairment charges, the remaining goodwill at the U.S. reporting unit was $216,744 as of June 30, 2026. There wasno remaining goodwill at the U.K. and Western Europe reporting units as of June 30, 2026. The goodwill related to the U.S. reporting unit is at risk of potential impairment if the fair value of the reporting unit, and its associated assets, decrease in value due to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, decreased customer demand for products, an inability to execute management’s business strategies, or general market conditions, such as economic downturns, and changes in interest rates, including discount rates. Future cash flow estimates are, by their nature, subjective, and actual results may differ materially from the Company’s estimates. If the Company’s ongoing cash flow projections are not met or if market factors utilized in the impairment test deteriorate, including an unfavorable change in the terminal growth rate or the weighted-average cost of capital, the Company may have to record additional impairment charges in future periods.
In fiscal 2025, the Company recorded aggregated non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $357,679 within its North America segment and $71,203 within our International reportable segment.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2026, as a result of a continued decline in actual and projected net sales driven by challenges related to regaining Earth’s Best® formula distribution, the Company conducted an interim quantitative impairment test for its Earth’s Best® Organic indefinite-lived tradename in its North America reportable segment. The Company concluded that the indefinite-lived intangible asset carrying amount exceeded its estimated fair value and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $2,038 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, which was recorded within long-lived asset and intangibles impairment on the consolidated statement of operations. The tradename was subsequently reclassified to definite-lived and ascribed a useful life of 10 years.

Credit Agreement
On December 22, 2021, the Company entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as subsequently amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement originally provided for senior secured financing of $1,100,000 in the aggregate, consisting of (1) $300,000 in aggregate principal amount of term loans (the “Term Loans”) and (2) an $800,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (which includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit, and was originally comprised of a $440,000 U.S. revolving credit facility and $360,000 global revolving credit facility) (the “Revolver”). Both the Revolver and the Term Loans mature on December 22, 2026. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain existing and future domestic subsidiaries of the Company and are secured by liens on assets of the Company and its material domestic subsidiaries, including the equity interest in each of their direct subsidiaries and intellectual property, subject to agreed-upon exceptions. The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants that require compliance with a consolidated secured leverage ratio, a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio.
On August 22, 2023, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company’s maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio was amended to be 5.00:1.00 until September 30, 2023,5.25:1.00 until December 31, 2023,5.00:1.00 until December 31, 2024, and 4.25:1.00 thereafter. The Company’s maximum consolidated leverage ratio remained at 6.00:1.00 and its minimum interest coverage ratio remained at 2.75:1.00.
On May 5, 2025, the Company entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the Company’s maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio was amended to be 4.75:1.00 for the quarter ending June 30, 2025 through (and including) the quarter ending March 31, 2026,4.50:1.00 for the quarter ending June 30, 2026, and 4.25:1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 2026 and thereafter. The Third Amendment also reduced the size of the Revolver from $800,000 to $700,000 in the aggregate, with the U.S. revolving credit facility reduced from $440,000 to $385,000 and the global revolving credit facility reduced from $360,000 to $315,000.
On September 11, 2025, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, (x) the Company’s maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio was amended to be
5.00:1.00 for the quarter ending June 30, 2025 and 5.50:1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 2025 and thereafter, (y) the Company’s minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio was amended to be 2.00:1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 2025 and thereafter and (z) a covenant was added requiring the Company to maintain a minimum Consolidated EBITDA (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement as amended by the Fourth Amendment) of (i) $17,000 for the quarter ending September 30, 2025 and (ii) $52,000 for the cumulative two quarters ending September 30, 2025 and on December 31, 2025. The aforementioned financial covenants use financial measures that are defined under the Credit Agreement and not pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Fourth Amendment also reduced the size of the Revolver from $700,000 to $600,000 in the aggregate, with the U.S. revolving credit facility reduced from $385,000 to $330,000 and the global revolving credit facility reduced from $315,000 to $270,000.
From the date of the Second Amendment until the date of the Third Amendment, loans under the Credit Agreement bore interest at (a) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% (“Term SOFR”) plus 2.5% per annum or (b) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.5% per annum. Commencing on the date of the Third Amendment, loans under the Credit Agreement bore interest at (a) Term SOFR plus 3.00% per annum or (b) the Base Rate plus 2.00% per annum. Commencing on the date of the Fourth Amendment, loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at (a) Term SOFR plus 4.00% per annum or (b) the Base Rate plus 3.00% per annum.
Excluding the impact of hedges, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2026 was 7.92%. The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of the interest rate risk related to its outstanding variable rate debt. As of June 30, 2026, the notional amount of the interest rate swaps was $400,000 with fixed rate payments of 7.12%. Including the impact of hedges, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2026 was 7.38%. Additionally, the Credit Agreement contains a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the amount unused under the Credit Agreement.
As of June 30, 2026, there were $411,000 of loans under the Revolver, $146,950 of Term Loans, and $3,099 of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2026, $185,901 was available under the Credit Agreement, subject to compliance with the financial covenants. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all associated covenants.
Credit Agreement Issuance Costs
In connection with the Fourth Amendment to its Credit Agreement during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $2,846, of which $2,529 was deferred. Of the total deferred costs, $1,996 were associated with the Revolver and are being amortized on a straight-line basis within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets, and $533 are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the Term Loans as a component of Interest and other financing expense, net over the term of the Credit Agreement. Further, the Fourth Amendment decreased the borrowing capacity of the Revolver, resulting in write-off of $604 of previously capitalized deferred costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, in connection with the $101,100 repayment of the Term Loans, $542 of previously capitalized deferred costs were written off.
Maturities of all debt instruments, excluding unamortized issuance costs, at June 30, 2026, are as follows:
| Due in Fiscal Year | Amount |
|---|---|
| 2027 | $558,028 |
| 2028 | 94 |
| 2029 | 94 |
| 2030 | 104 |
| Total debt and borrowings | $558,320 |

(a) State taxes in California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Texas, and New Jersey in aggregate make up the majority (greater than 50 percent) of the tax effect of this category.
(b) The Company recorded impairments of goodwill and certain intangible assets and most of the impairments did not have associated deferred tax liabilities. Therefore, the impact of these impairments is reflected as an impact to the effective tax rate.
(c) The Company estimated that it would not be able to utilize certain of its federal tax credit, federal tax losses and state tax loss carryovers due to its history of pretax losses and inability to carry back tax losses or credits for refunds. This negative evidence resulted in the Company increasing the valuation allowance on worldwide deferred tax assets of separately reported items in the year ended June 30, 2026 by $28,230 and in the year ended June 30, 2025 by $28,757.
(d) The Company recorded an unrecognized tax benefit that may not be fully supported under audit.
U.S. federal tax regulations include a provision to tax global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) of foreign subsidiaries and a measure to tax certain intercompany payments under the base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) regime. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not generate intercompany transactions that met the BEAT threshold but does have to include GILTI tax relating to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.
The Company elected to account for GILTI tax as a current period cost and didnot record an expense during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. The GILTI tax expense is included in the U.S. tax benefit on foreign earnings in the effective tax rate which also includes tax expense related to Subpart F income and unremitted earnings in total.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities consisted of the following:
| Fiscal Year Ended June 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Deferred tax assets: | ||
| Net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards | $87,270 | $74,121 |

| Lease ROU Assets | 10,258 | 14,931 |
| Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries | 2,294 | 3,980 |
| Other | — | 131 |
| Total deferred tax liability | 64,467 | 69,591 |
| Net deferred tax liability(a) | $(31,323) | $(40,332) |
(a)A deferred tax asset of $1,607 andnil is included within Other Assets, for fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively.
At June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company had U.S. federal NOL carryforwards of approximately $106,684 and $113,258, respectively, certain of which will not expire until 2033. Certain of these federal loss carryforwards are subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 382, which imposes limitations on utilization following certain changes in ownership of the entity generating the loss carryforward. The Company had foreign NOL carryforwards of approximately $14,143 and $14,815 at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, the majority of which are indefinite lived.
For the year ended June 30, 2026, the Company determined that $110,300 of foreign earnings are not permanently reinvested with a corresponding deferred tax liability of $2,294. The Company continues to reinvest $684,000 of undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries and may be subject to additional foreign withholding taxes and U.S. state income taxes if it reverses its indefinite reinvestment assertion on these foreign earnings in the future. All other outside basis differences not related to earnings were impractical to account for at this period of time and are currently considered as being permanent in duration.
As required by the authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes, the Company evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis at each reporting date. Accounting for income taxes requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In circumstances where there is sufficient negative evidence indicating that the deferred tax assets are not more likely than not realizable, the Company establishes a valuation allowance. The Company recorded valuation allowances in the amounts of $136,002 and $96,383 at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Unrecognized tax benefits activity, including interest and penalties, is summarized below:
| Fiscal Year Ended June 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Balance at beginning of year | $51,923 | $26,060 |
| Additions based on tax positions related to the current year | 187 | 24,555 |
| Additions based on tax positions related to prior years | 1,266 | 1,308 |
| Reductions due to lapse in statute of limitations and settlements | (154) | — |
| Balance at end of year | $53,222 | $51,923 |
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $53,222 of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $49,411 represents an amount that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate in future periods. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $51,923 of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $48,112 represents the amount that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate in future periods. Accrued liabilities for interest and penalties were $7,310 and $6,124 at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions and several foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal 2014. However, to the extent the Company generated NOLs or tax credits in closed tax years, future use of the NOL or tax credit carryforward balance would be subject to examination within the relevant statute of limitations for the year in which utilized. The Company is no longer subject to tax examinations in the U.K. for years prior to fiscal 2022. Given the uncertainty regarding when tax authorities will complete their examinations and the possible outcomes of their examinations, a current estimate of the range of reasonably possible significant increases or decreases of income tax that may occur within the next twelve months cannot be made. Although there are various tax audits currently ongoing, the Company does not believe the ultimate outcome of such audits will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue “blank check” preferred stock of up to 5,000 shares with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is empowered to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of the Company’s common stock. At June 30, 2026 and 2025, no preferred stock was issued or outstanding.

In January 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans, in private transactions or otherwise. The current 2022 authorization does not have a stated expiration date. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon market conditions and other corporate considerations. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Company didnot repurchase any shares under the repurchase program. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $173.5 million of remaining authorization under the share repurchase program.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE PLANS
The Company maintains a shareholder-approved plan, The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. 2022 Long Term Incentive and Stock Award Plan (as amended, the “2022 Plan”), which was approved at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on November 17, 2022, and further amended at the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on October 31, 2024 and 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on October 30, 2025. The 2022 Plan permits the Company to continue making equity-based and other incentive awards in a manner intended to properly incentivize its employees, directors, consultants and other service providers by aligning their interests with the interests of the Company’s shareholders. The 2022 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company also historically granted shares under its Amended and Restated 2002 Long-Term Incentive and Stock Award Plan and its 2019 Equity Inducement Award Program.
Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, a new form of awards was granted to employees that can be settled in cash or stock, at the Company’s discretion. These awards are accounted for as liability-based equity awards since the Company has the ability and intent to settle such awards in cash.
Stock-Based Award Activity
Stock-based awards are generally issued in the form of restricted share units (“RSUs”), which are service-based awards, and performance share units (“PSUs”) that are subject to the achievement of minimum market conditions or performance goals. RSU awards to employees generally provide for vesting in equal annual installments over a period ofthree years, with different vesting periods in certain cases. RSU awards to non-employee directors generally provide for a vesting period ofone year. For PSU awards, the following share figures are stated at target levels, and the awards outstanding as of June 30, 2026 generally provide for vesting at 0% to 150% or 200% of the target level. Awards of PSUs and RSUs are issued at no cost to the recipient. A summary of all stock-based award activity for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 is as follows:
| 2026 | 2025 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number ofSharesand Units | WeightedAverage GrantDate Fair Value(per share) | Number ofSharesand Units | WeightedAverage GrantDate Fair Value(per share) | |

The fair value of RSUs and PSUs granted and of shares vested, and the tax benefit recognized from restricted shares vesting, for the last two fiscal years ended June 30 was as follows:
| Fiscal Year Ended June 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Fair value of RSUs and PSUs granted | $5,134 | $15,806 |
| Fair value of RSUs and PSUs vested | $1,280 | $4,826 |
| Tax benefit recognized from RSUs and PSUs vesting | $212 | $625 |
At June 30, 2026, $5,673 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested RSUs and PSUs was expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.70 and 1.42 years, respectively.
Cash-Settled Award Activity
The Company grants cash-settled awards that are either service-based or subject to the achievement of minimum market conditions or performance goals. Service-based cash awards generally provide for vesting in equal annual installments over a period ofthree years, with different vesting periods in certain cases. For cash awards tied to minimum market conditions or performance goals, award amounts are stated at target levels with vesting at 0% to 150% of the target level depending on conditions or performance. Cash-based awards are issued at no cost to the recipient.
The fair value of these cash-settled awards is measured at each reporting period until the awards are settled. The performance-based cash-settled award liability at June 30, 2026 was recorded ratably based on the Company’s projected achievement at the end of the measurement period. The cash incentive award liability was $822 at June 30, 2026, the majority of which is classified as a current liability and reported in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and the balance included in other non-current liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets.
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the estimated fair value of granted cash-settled awards was $3,392. For the reporting period, the Company recognized a forfeiture adjustment of $2,039. Asof June 30, 2026, the total remaining non-vested cash-settled awards outstanding were $4,336.
Long-Term Incentive Program
In conjunction with the Stock Award Plans, the Company maintains a long-term incentive program (“LTIP”) that provides for equity awards, including market-based PSUs that can be earned over defined performance periods. The participants of the LTIP include certain of the Company’s executive officers and other key executives. The LTIP is administered by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee, which is responsible for, among other items, selecting the specific performance measures for awards, setting the target performance required to receive an award after the completion of the performance period, and determining the specific payout to the participants.
For RSUs, the Company uses the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date to measure fair value for service-based awards and for market-based PSUs, the Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of those awards granted under the LTIP. The fair value of RSUs and PSUs is then used to record stock-based compensation expense. The use of the Monte Carlo simulation model requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions and therefore, the Company has included additional information regarding the terms of the PSUs granted and the inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation model below.
2026-2029 LTIP
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted market-based PSU awards under the LTIP with a total target payout of 347 shares of common stock. At June 30, 2026, there were 332 such shares outstanding under the LTIP. Such PSU awards will vest, if at all, pursuant to a defined calculation of relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) over the period from December 13, 2025 through the earlier of: (i) December 12, 2028; (ii) the date the participant’s employment is terminated due to death or Disability (as defined in the award agreement); or (iii) the effective date of a Change in Control (as defined in the award agreement) (the “2026 TSR Performance Period”). Total shares eligible to vest range from zero to 100% of the target amount. Grant date fair values are calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model with grant date fair values per target share and related valuation assumptions as follows:
| RelativeTSR PSUs | |
|---|---|
| Grant date fair value (per target share) | $0.89 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.58% |
| Expected volatility | 18.80% |
| Expected term | 3.00 years |
2025-2027 LTIP
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Company granted market-based PSU awards under the LTIP with a total target payout of 652 shares of common stock. Such PSU awards will vest, if at all, pursuant to a defined calculation of relative TSR over the period from October 29, 2024 through the earlier of: (i) October 28, 2027; (ii) the date the participant’s employment is terminated due to death or Disability (as defined in the award agreement); or (iii) the effective date of a Change in Control (as defined in the award agreement) (the “2025 TSR Performance Period”). Total shares eligible to vest range from zero to
150% of the target amount. Grant date fair values are calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model with grant date fair values per target share and related valuation assumptions as follows:
| RelativeTSR PSUs | |
|---|---|
| Grant date fair value (per target share) | $9.89 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.09% |
| Expected volatility | 20.90% |
| Expected term | 3.00 years |
2024-2026 LTIP
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted market-based PSU awards under the LTIP with a total target payout of 618 shares of common stock. Such PSU awards will vest, if at all, pursuant to a defined calculation of either relative TSR or absolute TSR (as defined in the award agreement) over the period from October 26, 2023 through the earlier of: (i) October 25, 2026; (ii) the date the participant’s employment is terminated due to death or Disability (as defined in the award agreement); or (iii) the effective date of a Change in Control (as defined in the award agreement) (the “2024 TSR Performance Period”). Vesting of 370 target shares of the outstanding PSU awards is pursuant to a defined calculation of relative TSR over the 2024 TSR Performance Period (the “2024 Relative TSR PSUs”). Vesting of the absolute PSU awards is pursuant to the achievement of pre-established three-year compound annual TSR targets over the 2024 TSR Performance Period (the “2024 Absolute TSR PSUs”). Total shares eligible to vest for both the 2024 Relative TSR PSUs and 2024 Absolute TSR PSUs range from zero to 200% of the target amount. Grant date fair values are calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model with grant date fair values per target share and related valuation assumptions as follows:
| AbsoluteTSR PSUs | RelativeTSR PSUs | |
|---|---|---|
| Grant date fair value (per target share) | $12.23 | $15.42 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.98% | 4.98% |
| Expected volatility | 33.70% | 23.10% |
| Expected term | 3.00 years | 3.00 years |
2023-2025 LTIP
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted market-based PSU awards under the LTIP with a total target payout of 429 shares of common stock. Such PSU awards will vest, if at all, pursuant to a defined calculation of either relative TSR or absolute TSR (as defined in the award agreement) over the period from September 6, 2022 through the earlier of: (i) September 6, 2025; (ii) the date the participant’s employment is terminated due to death or Disability (as defined in the award agreement); or (iii) the effective date of a Change in Control (as defined in the award agreement) (the “2023 TSR Performance Period”). Vesting of relative PSU target shares is pursuant to a defined calculation of relative TSR over the 2023 TSR Performance Period (the “2023 Relative TSR PSUs”). Vesting of absolute target shares of the outstanding PSU awards is pursuant to the achievement of pre-established three-year compound annual TSR targets over the 2023 TSR Performance Period (the “2023 Absolute TSR PSUs”). Total shares eligible to vest for both the 2023 Relative TSR PSUs and 2023 Absolute TSR PSUs range from zero to 200% of the target amount. Grant date fair values are calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model with grant date fair values per target share and related valuation assumptions as follows:
| AbsoluteTSR PSUs | RelativeTSR PSUs | |
|---|---|---|
| Grant date fair value (per target share) | $12.23 | $15.42 |

CEO Succession
On May 7, 2025, the Company announced that Wendy P. Davidson departed as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board effective May 6, 2025. In accordance with the agreement governing her make-whole RSU award, which was granted in recognition of compensation Ms. Davidson forfeited by leaving her former employer, the remaining 32 unvested make-whole RSUs she held at that time accelerated and vested as of May 6, 2025. All other unvested equity awards held by Ms. Davidson were forfeited in their entirety as of such date.
The Board appointed Alison E. Lewis, a member of the Board since September 2024, as Interim President and CEO on May 7, 2025. In connection with her appointment, Ms. Lewis received an RSU award of 621 RSUs that vest over aone-year period subject to Ms. Lewis’s continued employment as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer and certain other exceptions.
On December 15, 2025, the Board appointment Ms. Lewis as President and Chief Executive Officer, at which time she vested in a prorated portion of that grant, resulting in the vesting of 378 shares of common stock and the residual awards were forfeited.
On December 15, 2025, Ms. Lewis received a grant under the LTIP for a total of 2,150 share units comprising 1,500 PSUs and 650 RSUs which represent the total three-year long-term incentive opportunity that would have been granted under the fiscal year 2026 – 2028 LTIP. The PSUs will vest upon the achievement of pre-established stock price targets while she is employed as follows:
375 shares if the 30-trading day average stock price equals or exceeds $3.00; estimated grant date fair value of $0.71
375 shares if the 30-trading day average stock price equals or exceeds $5.00; estimated grant date fair value of $0.47
375 shares if the 30-trading day average stock price equals or exceeds $7.00; estimated grant date fair value of $0.33
375 shares if the 30-trading day average stock price equals or exceeds $9.00; estimated grant date fair value of $0.24
The volatility assumption used was 70.4% and the risk-free rate was 3.56%. The expected term is 3 years. The RSUs will vest one-third each year on the anniversary of the start date, subject to her continued employment.

Stock Options
The Company did not grant any stock options in fiscal years 2026 or 2025, and there wereno stock options exercised during these periods. There were 122 stock options outstanding at each of June 30, 2026 and 2025, relating to a grant under a prior plan. Although no further awards can be granted under the prior plan, the stock options outstanding continue in accordance with the terms of the plan and grant. For stock options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2026, the aggregate intrinsic value (the difference between the closing stock price on the last day of trading in the year and the exercise price) wasnil, and the weighted average remaining contractual life was 5.78 years. The weighted average exercise price of these stock options was $2.26. At June 30, 2026, there wasno unrecognized compensation expense related to stock option awards.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are required to be grouped in one of three levels. The levels prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These levels are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026:
| Total | Quotedprices inactivemarkets(Level 1) | Significantotherobservableinputs(Level 2) | Significantunobservableinputs(Level 3) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets: | ||||
| Derivative financial instruments | $1,527 | $— | $1,527 | $— |
| Liabilities: | ||||
| Derivative financial instruments | $13,764 | $— | $13,764 | $— |
The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025:

There wereno transfers of financial instruments between the three levels of fair value hierarchy during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 or 2025.
Derivative Instruments
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk and cross-currency swaps and foreign currency exchange contracts to manage exposure to currency fluctuations. These instruments are valued using techniques like DCF analysis, which considers the contractual terms and market-based inputs such as interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined by netting the discounted future fixed and variable cash flows. The variable cash flows are based on expected future interest rates.
Credit valuation adjustments are made to reflect the nonperformance risk of both the Company and its counterparties. Most inputs used to value derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but credit valuation adjustments use Level 3 inputs, such as current credit spreads. The impact of these adjustments was not significant to the overall valuation, so all derivatives as of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 were classified as Level 2.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures certain non-financial assets, such as goodwill, indefinite and definite lived intangible assets, and long-lived assets (property and equipment, and right-of-use lease assets), at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are initially measured at fair value at the time of acquisition or purchase, with adjustments only for foreign currency translation. Periodically, these assets are tested for impairment by comparing their carrying values to their estimated fair values. If an asset is impaired, the Company recognizes an impairment expense equal to the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value.
For indefinite-lived intangible assets, fair value is determined using the relief from royalty approach, considering factors like future growth, royalty rates, discount rates, and other variables. Fair value measurements for reporting units are estimated using a blended analysis of the DCF income approach and GPCM market approach, which involve significant management judgment and Level 3 inputs, such as economic conditions and customer demand. These measurements are performed at least annually for impairment testing. The Company bases its fair value estimates on reasonable assumptions but acknowledges their unpredictability and inherent uncertainty.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $38,495, $112,431, and $42,293 associated with the U.S., U.K., and Western Europe reporting units, respectively, as discussed in Note 9, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. As of June 30, 2026, the U.S., U.K., and Western Europe goodwill balances were classified as a Level 3 asset measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis with estimated reporting unit fair values of $460,000, $227,121, and $89,112, respectively.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Company conducted an interim quantitative impairment test and recorded an aggregate non-cash impairment charges of $14,615 for its Earth’s Best® Organic, Hartley’s® jelly, and Spectrum® indefinite-lived tradenames, as discussed in Note 9, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded aggregate non-cash impairment charges of $357,679 and $71,203 related to goodwill within its North America and International reportable segments, respectively, as discussed in Note 9, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s receivables and borrowings.
Certain of the Company’s foreign operations expose the Company to fluctuations of foreign exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of the Company’s cash receipts and payments in terms of the Company’s functional currency. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain assets and liabilities in terms of its functional currency, the U.S. Dollar. Accordingly, the Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage and mitigate such risks. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. During fiscal 2026 and 2025, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable rate debt.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in AOCL and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCL related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $1,528 will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:
| Interest Rate Derivative | Number of Instruments | Notional Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Interest rate swap | 4 | $400,000 |
Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against its functional currency, the U.S. Dollar. The Company, at times, uses forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the GBP-EUR exchange rates. The Company designates these derivatives as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risks.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in AOCL and subsequently reclassified in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings within the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged transaction. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $96 relating to the foreign currency forward contracts will be reclassified to interest expense.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had the following outstanding foreign currency derivatives that were used to hedge its foreign exchange risks:
| Foreign Currency Derivative | Number of Instruments | Notional Sold | Notional Purchased |
|---|---|---|---|
| Foreign currency forward contract | 24 | £25,632 | €29,450 |
Net Investment Hedges
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments it holds in its European foreign entities and their exposure to the Euro. The Company uses fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps to hedge its exposure to changes in the foreign exchange rate on its foreign investment in Western Europe. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the USD-EUR exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward agreements are typically cash settled in U.S. Dollars for their fair value at or close to their settlement date. Cross-currency swaps involve the receipt of functional-currency-fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making foreign-currency-fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement.
For derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported in AOCL as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. Amounts are reclassified out of AOCL into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Company terminated four EUR-USD cross-currency swaps across various counterparties and received proceeds of $2,363. The Company simultaneously entered into new, at-market cross currency swaps with the same aggregate notional amount as the previous net investment hedges. The gain from termination will remain in AOCL until the net investment is sold or substantially liquidated.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had the following outstanding foreign currency derivatives that were used to hedge its net investments in foreign operations:
| Foreign Currency Derivative | Number of Instruments | Notional Sold | Notional Purchased |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cross-currency swap | 4 | €100,300 | $103,312 |
Fair Value Hedges
The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of its foreign denominated intercompany loans due to changes in foreign exchange spot rates. The Company uses fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates affecting gains and losses on intercompany loan principal and interest. Cross-currency swaps involve the receipt of functional-currency-fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making foreign-currency-fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in interest and other financing expense, net.
Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized over the life of the hedge on a systematic and rational basis, as documented at hedge inception in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy election. The earnings recognition of excluded components is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged transaction.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company terminated one EUR-USD cross-currency swap and received proc eeds of $552. The Company simultaneously entered into a new, at-market cross currency swap with the same notional amount as the previous fair value hedge. A portion of gain was recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss, and the balance was deferred to AOCL where it will be amortized on a straight-line basis.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had the following outstanding foreign currency derivatives that were used to hedge changes in fair value attributable to foreign exchange risk:
| Foreign Currency Derivative | Number of Instruments | Notional Sold | Notional Purchased |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cross-currency swap | 1 | €24,700 | $25,453 |
As of June 30, 2026, the following amounts were recorded on the consolidated balance sheets related to cumulative basis adjustment for fair value hedges:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Securities Class Actions Filed in Federal Court
The Company and certain of its former officers (collectively, the “Defendants”) are defendants in a consolidated class action complaint in the Eastern District of New York under the caption In re The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. Securities Litigation (the “Consolidated Securities Action”). A Corrected Consolidated Amended Complaint was filed in the summer of 2017, which asserted violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegedly materially false or misleading statements and omissions in public statements, press releases and SEC filings regarding the Company’s business, prospects, financial results and internal controls.
After Defendants’ initial motion to dismiss was granted without prejudice to replead in October 2017, the Co-Lead Plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint on May 6, 2019 (the “Second Amended Complaint”), which made allegations similar to those in the previous complaint. After several years of motion practice and related court orders, on September 29, 2023, the District Court granted Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint. Co-Lead Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on October 26, 2023, appealing the District Court’s decision dismissing the Second Amended Complaint to the Second Circuit, and the appeal was fully briefed as of June 3, 2024. On September 29, 2025, the Second Circuit reversed and remanded the matter for further proceedings. The Company answered the Second Amended Complaint on January 27, 2026. On June 25, 2026, the parties entered into a formal Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement to settle the Consolidated Securities Action for $35,000, funded solely by insurance and no part of the settlement amount will be funded by the Company or any individual defendant. The Stipulation expressly provides that Defendants make no admission of liability orwrongdoing, and that each Defendant denies all wrongdoing. On July 13, 2026, the Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement and scheduled a Settlement Hearing for October 28, 2026. The settlement remains subject to final Court approval. During fiscal year 2026, the Company recorded an insurance receivable of $35,000 within prepaid expenses and other current assets and a corresponding liability of $35,000 within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
Additional Stockholder Class Action and Derivative Complaints Filed in Federal Court
The former Board of Directors and certain former officers of the Company are defendants in a consolidated action, originally filed in 2017 in the Eastern District of New York, under the caption In re The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. Stockholder Class and Derivative Litigation (the “Consolidated Stockholder Class and Derivative Action”). The plaintiffs allege that the Company’s former directors and certain former officers made materially false and misleading statements in press releases and SEC filings regarding the Company’s business, prospects and financial results and that the Company violated its by-laws and Delaware law by failing to hold its 2016 Annual Stockholders Meeting and claim breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and corporate waste.
After several years of motion practice and related court orders in the related Consolidated Securities Action, on July 24, 2020, the plaintiffs made a stockholder litigation demand on the Board containing overlapping factual allegations to those set forth in the Consolidated Stockholder Class and Derivative Action. On November 3, 2020, Plaintiffs were informed that the Board had finished investigating and resolved, among other things, that the demand should be rejected. In light of developments in the Consolidated Securities Action referenced above that remanded that case for further proceedings, the parties submitted a joint status report on December 29, 2021 requesting that the District Court continue the temporary stay pending the District Court’s reconsideration of the Defendants’ motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint in the Consolidated Securities Action. Following the Second Circuit’s reversal and remand on September 29, 2025, the Parties filed a status update on November 14, 2025 and an initial proposed scheduling order on February 6, 2026. On April 22, 2026, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ motion for an extension of time to file their amended complaint and ordered that Plaintiffs file their Amended Complaint by April 30, 2026. On April 30, 2026, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Leave to File the Verified Consolidated Second Amended Shareholder Derivative Complaint under seal, together with the Amended Complaint itself. On May 1, 2026, the Court granted the motion to file under seal. Defendants served a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint on July 17, 2026. Defendants have filed an unopposed motion to stay discovery pending resolution of the motion to dismiss.
Baby Food Class Action Litigation
Since February 2021, the Company has been named in numerous consumer class actions alleging that the Company’s Earth’s Best® baby food products (the “Products”) contain unsafe and undisclosed levels of various naturally occurring heavy metals, namely lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury. Those actions were transferred and consolidated as a single lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York captioned In re Hain Celestial Heavy Metals Baby Food Litigation, Case No. 2:21-cv-678 (the “Consolidated Proceeding”). In the Consolidated Proceeding, the plaintiffs generally allege that the Company violated various state consumer protection laws and assert other state and common law warranty and unjust enrichment claims related to the alleged failure to disclose the presence of these metals, arguing that consumers would have either not purchased the Products or would have paid less for them had the Company made adequate disclosures. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Class Action Complaint. Following oral argument on August 1, 2024, the Court issued an order on December 27, 2024 in which it granted the Company’s motion to dismiss with respect to Plaintiffs’ claims arising out of the alleged presence of lead, cadmium, mercury, or other substances, as well as any claims challenging the use of the “USDA Organic” seal on the Products’ labeling, and denied the Company’s motion to dismiss with respect to Plaintiffs’ claims arising out of the alleged presence of arsenic in the Products. The Company filed its answer to the Consolidated Class Action Complaint on January 23, 2025. One consumer class action is pending in New York Supreme Court, Nassau County, which the court has stayed in deference to the Consolidated Proceeding. The Company denies the allegations in these lawsuits and contends that its baby foods are safe and properly labeled.
The claims raised in these lawsuits were brought in the wake of a highly publicized report issued by the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy on Oversight and Reform, dated February 4, 2021 (the “House Report”), addressing the presence of heavy metals in baby foods made by certain manufacturers, including the Company. Since the publication of the House Report, the Company has also received information requests with respect to the advertising and quality of its baby foods from certain governmental authorities, as such authorities investigate the claims made in the House Report. The Company is fully cooperating with these requests and has provided documents and other requested information.
The Company has been named in one civil government enforcement action, State of New Mexico ex rel. Balderas v. Nurture, Inc., et al., which was filed by the New Mexico Attorney General against the Company and several other manufacturers based on the alleged presence of heavy metals in their baby food products. The Company and several other manufacturers moved to dismiss the New Mexico Attorney General’s lawsuit, and the Court denied that motion. The Company filed its answer to the
New Mexico Attorney General’s amended complaint on April 23, 2022, and discovery is ongoing. The Company denies the New Mexico Attorney General’s allegations and maintains that its baby foods are safe, properly labeled, and compliant with New Mexico law.
In addition to the consumer class actions discussed above, the Company is currently named in numerous lawsuits in state and federal courts alleging some form of personal injury from the ingestion of the Company’s Products, purportedly due to unsafe and undisclosed levels of various naturally occurring heavy metals. These lawsuits generally allege injuries related to neurological development disorders such as autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Baby Food Multidistrict Litigation
On January 4, 2024, plaintiffs in federal cases across the country filed a Motion to Transfer Actions for Coordinated or Consolidated Pretrial Proceedings. On April 11, 2024, the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation granted plaintiffs’ motion and transferred the cases to the Northern District of California for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings. On April 15, 2024, the court issued an order staying all outstanding discovery proceedings and pending motions and vacating all previously scheduled hearing dates. There are approximately 200 federal cases filed against the Company pending in the multi-district litigation (“MDL”). Plaintiffs filed their Master Complaint on July 15, 2024. On December 18, 2024, Defendants filed motions to dismiss the Master Complaint, which the Court granted in part and denied in part. The MDL first proceeded with general causation discovery. Expert discovery has closed and the parties’ Rule 702 motions have been fully briefed. The Court held Rule 702 hearings during the week of December 8, 2025 and on February 27, 2026, the Court issued an order excluding Plaintiffs’ general causation experts. On May 1, 2026, Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. On August 13, 2026, the Court held argument on Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment.
Baby Food California State Court Cases
There are currently thirteen personal injury cases against the Company pending in California State Superior Courts relating to the same allegations regarding trace levels of heavy metals in the Products. These cases are now (or will be) included in Judicial Council Coordinated Proceedings (“JCCP”). In June 2024, the cases were assigned a trial coordination judge. All but two of the cases are currently stayed.
In Landon R. v. The Hain Celestial Group, Inc., et al., No. 23STCV24844, the Court granted defendants’ Motion to Exclude Plaintiff’s Exposure Expert and Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment on December 3, 2025. The Court entered judgment in defendants’ favor on January 2, 2026. Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal on March 2, 2026.
On September 30, 2025, the Court lifted the discovery and pleading stay in two additional cases: Kaleb R. v. Hain Celestial Group, Inc. et al. (No. 23STCV30542) and Samuel R. v. Hain Celestial Group, Inc. et al. (No. 23CV057126). Discovery is ongoing in both cases.
Palmquist v. The Hain Celestial Group
During a jury trial in February 2023 in the baby food-related matter Palmquist v. The Hain Celestial Group, Inc., the court granted the Company’s motion for a directed verdict, finding no liability for the Company. The Court entered Final Judgment in the Company’s favor on March 3, 2023.
Plaintiffs appealed in the Fifth Circuit, and on May 28, 2024, the Fifth Circuit reversed the district court’s order denying Plaintiff’s motion to remand the case and vacated the final judgement of the district court. The Company filed a Petition for En Banc Reconsideration, which the Fifth Circuit denied.
The Company successfully petitioned the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari, and the Court heard oral argument on November 4, 2025. On February 24, 2026, the Court issued an opinion affirming the Fifth Circuit’s decision to vacate the judgement in favor of Hain and remand the proceedings to state court to be re-tried.
The case is now pending in the District Court of Brazoria County, Texas. Discovery is ongoing. The case has been set for trial starting on March 29, 2027.
Watkins v. Plum PBC, et al.
On August 13, 2026, the MDL Court heard argument on a Motion to Remand Watkins v. Plum PBC et al. from the MDL to Louisiana state court. On August 19, 2026, the MDL Court granted Plaintiffs’ motion and remanded the case to the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans.
Baby Food Florida State Court Cases
There are currently seven multi-plaintiff personal injury cases against the Company pending in Florida State Courts relating to the same allegations regarding trace levels of heavy metals in the Products.
With respect to all of the above-described baby food matters, the Company denies that its Products led to any of the alleged injuries and will defend these cases vigorously. That said, as is common in circumstances of this nature, additional lawsuits may be filed against the Company in the future, asserting similar or different legal theories and seeking similar or different types of damages and relief. Such lawsuits may be resolved in a manner adverse to us, and we may incur substantial costs or damages not covered by insurance, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and business.
Other
In addition to the matters described above, the Company is and may be a defendant in lawsuits from time to time in the normal course of business.
With respect to all litigation and related matters, the Company records a liability when the Company believes it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company has not recorded a liability for any of the matters disclosed in this note, except for the above-noted liability and offsetting insurance receivable in connection with the proposed settlement of the Consolidated Securities Action, which is to be funded solely by insurance. It is possible that some matters could require the Company to pay damages, incur other costs or establish accruals in amounts that could not be reasonably estimated as of the end of the period covered by this report.
RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company began a multi‑year restructuring program (the “Restructuring Program”) and incurred charges related to contract terminations, asset write‑downs, employee‑related costs, and other transformation-related expenses.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, expenses associated with the Restructuring Program in the amount of $22,039, $5,224, and $10, respectively, were recorded in productivity and transformation costs, cost of sales, and long-lived asset and intangibles impairment, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, expenses associated with the Restructuring Program in the amount of $21,530, $2,685 and $1,599 were recorded in productivity and transformation costs, long-lived asset and intangibles impairment, and cost of sales, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations. The table below sets forth expenses associated with the Restructuring Program for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 by reportable segment and Corporate and Other.

Cumulative pretax charges associated with the Restructuring Program are expected to be $135,000 - $145,000 which represents an increase of $20,000 from the previously reported range, primarily due to incremental restructuring actions expected to be incurred in connection with the International Business Transaction. The Restructuring Program is now expected to conclude by the end of fiscal year 2028. See Note 1, Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation, under the heading “Strategic Review—International Business Transaction”.
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS
The Company has a 401(k) Employee Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) to provide retirement benefits for eligible employees. All full-time employees of the Company and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries are eligible to participate upon completion of 30 days of service. On an annual basis, the Company may, in its sole discretion, make certain matching contributions. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company made contrib utions to the Plan of $2,442 and $2,441, respectively, and recorded retirement plan expense in the amount of $1,081 and $2,547, respectively. In addition, while certain of the Company’s international subsidiaries maintain separate defined contribution plans for their employees, except for the U.K., the amounts are not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Certain U.K. subsidiaries offer an auto-enrollment defined contribution plan to all employees. Employees must be aged 22 or over but under the State Pension age and have earned over £10. Employees outside of these criteria have the option to opt-in. Employees must contribute a minimum percentage to the plan and the U.K. subsidiaries make matching contributions. For thefiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were contributions and retirement plan expense recorded in the amount of $3,023 and $2,715, respectively.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s organizational structure consists oftwo geographic based reportable segments: North America and International, which are also the operating segments. This structure is in line with how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) asse sses the Company’s performance and allocates resources. The President and Chief Executive Officer is the CODM of the Company. The Company’s measure of segment profitability is Adjusted EBITDA of each reportable segment and also uses net sales in order to analyze segment results, trends and allocate resources. On a monthly basis, the CODM reviews how actual results compare to forecasts and prior periods when making decisions regarding strategic initiatives and capital investments to segments.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes: net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity in net loss of equity-method investees, stock-based compensation, net, unrealized currency losses, certain litigation and related costs, plant closure related costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, (gain) loss on sale of assets, impairment of goodwill, long-lived asset and intangibles impairments and other adjustments. In addition, Segment Adjusted EBITDA does not include Corporate and Other expenses related to the Company’s centralized administrative functions, which do not specifically relate to a reportable segment. Such Corporate and Other expenses are comprised mainly of compensation and related expenses of certain of the Company’s senior executive officers and other employees who perform duties related to the entire enterprise, litigation expense and expenses for certain professional fees, facilities, and other items which benefit the Company as a whole.
The following tables set forth financial information about each of the Company’s reportable segment’s revenue, significant segment expenses and measure of segment profit or loss for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Information about total assets by segment is not disclosed because such information is not reported to or used by the Company’s CODM for purposes of assessing segment performance or allocating resources. Transactions between reportable segments were insignificant for all periods presented.
