SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Historically, the Company had three reportable segments: United States, United Kingdom and Rest of World. Effective July 1, 2019, the Company reassessed its segment reporting structure, pursuant to which the Company’s Canada and Hain Ventures operating segments, which were included within the Rest of World reportable segment, were moved to the United States reportable segment and renamed the North America segment. Additionally, the Europe operating segment, which was included in the Rest of World reportable segment, was combined with the United Kingdom reportable segment and renamed the International reportable segment. Accordingly, the Company now operates under two reportable segments: North America and International. Prior period segment information included herein has been adjusted to reflect the Company’s new reporting structure.

FISCAL YEAR 2020 GUIDANCE

The Company narrows and reaffirms its annual guidance for continuing operations for fiscal year 2020:

Fiscal Year 2020
Reported Constant Currency
Adjusted EBITDA $177 Million to $192 Million $179 Million to $194 Million
% Growth +7% to +16% +8% to +18%
Adjusted EPS $0.62 to $0.72 $0.64 to $0.74
% Growth +3% to +20% +7% to +23%

Guidance, where adjusted, is provided on a non-GAAP basis and excludes: acquisition and divestiture related expenses; integration charges; restructuring charges, start-up costs, consulting fees and other costs associated

The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. • 1111 Marcus Avenue • Lake Success, NY 11042

516-587-5000 • www.hain.com

with the Company’s productivity and transformation initiatives; unrealized net foreign currency gains or losses; and other non-recurring items that may be incurred during the Company’s fiscal year 2020, which the Company will continue to identify as it reports its future financial results. Guidance also excludes the impact of any future acquisitions, divestitures, or share repurchases.

The Company cannot reconcile its expected Adjusted EBITDA to net income or adjusted earnings per diluted share to earnings per diluted share under “Fiscal Year 2020 Guidance” without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net income and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures, including net sales adjusted for the impact of Foreign Exchange, Divestitures and certain other items, including SKU rationalization, as applicable in each case, adjusted operating income, adjusted gross margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and operating free cash flow. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables “Reconciliation of GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Measures” for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 in the paragraphs below. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide useful additional information to investors about current trends in the Company’s operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. They should be read only in connection with the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations presented in accordance with GAAP.

The Company defines Operating Free Cash Flow as cash provided by or used in operating activities from continuing operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures. The Company views Operating Free Cash Flow as an important measure because it is one factor in evaluating the amount of cash available for discretionary investments.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, Operating Free Cash Flow from continuing operations was calculated as follows:

Three Months Ended December 31, Six Months Ended December 31,
2019 2018 2019 2018
(unaudited and in thousands)
Cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities - continuing operations $ 20,729 $ 19,566 $ 17,148 $ (4)
Purchases of property, plant and equipment (16,173) (18,737) (29,337) (40,998)
Operating Free Cash Flow - continuing operations $ 4,556 $ 829 $ (12,189) $ (41,002)

The Company’s Operating Free Cash Flow from continuing operations was $4.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $3.7 million from the three months ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s Operating Free Cash Flow from continuing operations was negative $12.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $28.8 million from the six months ended December 31, 2018. The improvement in operating free cash flow resulted primarily from an improvement in net loss adjusted for non-cash charges in the current year and a decrease in capital expenditures.

The Company believes presenting net sales at constant currency provides useful information to investors because it provides transparency to underlying performance in the Company’s consolidated net sales by excluding the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have on period-to-period comparability given the volatility in foreign currency exchange markets. To present this information for historical periods, current period net sales for

The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. • 1111 Marcus Avenue • Lake Success, NY 11042

516-587-5000 • www.hain.com

entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average monthly exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, rather than at the actual average monthly exchange rate in effect during the current period of the current fiscal year. As a result, the foreign currency impact is equal to the current year results in local currencies multiplied by the change in average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

The Company provides net sales adjusted for constant currency, divestitures, and certain other items including SKU rationalization, as applicable in each case, to understand the growth rate of net sales excluding the impact of such items. The Company’s management believes net sales adjusted for such items is useful to investors because it enables them to better understand the growth of our business from period-to-period.

The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations (a GAAP measure) before income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, equity in net loss of equity-method investees, stock-based compensation, net, stock-based compensation expense in connection with the Company’s Former CEO succession plan, long-lived asset and intangible impairments and unrealized currency gains and losses. The Company defines segment EBITDA as operating income (a GAAP measure) before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, net and long-lived asset impairments. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before divestiture related expenses, including integration and restructuring charges, and other adjustments. The Company’s management believes that these presentations provide useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its results of operations and financial condition. In addition, management uses these measures for reviewing the financial results of the Company as well as a component of performance-based executive compensation.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was calculated as follows:

Three Months Ended December 31, Six Months Ended December 31,
2019 2018 2019 2018
