Company Overview

Sold in over 75 countries around the world, Hain Celestial (NASDAQ: HAIN) is a natural and organic food company whose products range from snacks to teas to baby food.

Revenue Growth

A company’s long-term performance is an indicator of its overall quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but many enduring ones grow for years.

With $1.45 billion in revenue over the past 12 months, Hain Celestial is a small consumer staples company, which sometimes brings disadvantages compared to larger competitors benefiting from economies of scale and negotiating leverage with retailers.

As you can see below, Hain Celestial’s revenue declined by 7% per year over the last three years, a rough starting point for our analysis.

This quarter, Hain Celestial missed Wall Street’s estimates and reported a rather uninspiring 13.3% year-on-year revenue decline, generating $338.4 million of revenue.

Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to decline by 17.5% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last three years. This projection doesn't excite us and suggests its products will face some demand challenges.

Still, the stock traded up 7.8% to $0.71 immediately following the results as the company adds that they are making "good progress against the strategic review work with Goldman Sachs".
