Hain Celestial has agreed to sell its International business to AURELIUS for an estimated $323 million in cash while reporting weaker-than-expected fiscal fourth-quarter 2026 sales and adjusted earnings. Net sales fell 27.6% to $263.07 million, below the $268.94 million estimate, and the company posted an adjusted loss of $0.05 per share versus the expected $0.03 loss. Despite the sales decline, gross margin expanded to 22.5%, operating cash flow rose to $78.3 million and free cash flow improved to $57.7 million. Hain expects net proceeds of $305 million to $310 million from the International sale, which it plans to use to repay its entire term loan and more than 35% of its revolving credit facility, reducing pro forma debt to about $250 million. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2027, subject partly to extending Hain’s December credit maturity. North America organic sales rose 1.7%, while adjusted EBITDA increased 55.3% to $16.1 million; International organic sales fell 4% and adjusted EBITDA dropped 41.1% to $12.3 million. Hain also targets about $16 million in annual run-rate cost savings, with most expected by the end of fiscal 2027.
