The group also revealed it anticipates second-quarter sales of $740-760m and EPS of $0.53-0.56. Analyst consensus expectations were for sales of $767m and earnings of $0.57 a share in the quarter to end-December.
Hain said the second-quarter guidance reflected the “continuing strong performance” of its Hain Pure Protein division and its international businesses “in constant currency”. However, the Earth’s Best owner noted that was “offset by certain impacts relating to the United States segment including lower consumption and reductions in shipments and inventories at certain customers”.
Tha announcement was released ahead of Hain Celestial’s scheduled presentation at the ICR Conference later today (12 January).
