Hain Celestial (ISIN US4052171000) agreed on September 14, 2026 to sell its International business for estimated USD 323.00 million, while Hain Celestial stock was trading at EUR 0.48 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 8:08 p.m. CEST, plus 4.35 percent versus the EUR 0.46 prior close. The Hain Celestial Group said the transaction would create a more focused North American business.

Debt reduction meets a financing test

The proposed sale is designed to generate net cash proceeds of USD 305.00 million to USD 310.00 million. The company plans to use those proceeds to reduce debt, but completion depends on regulatory approvals and an amendment extending the December 22, 2026 credit maturity.

Yahoo Finance reported on September 14, 2026 that the lender amendment must extend the debt profile beyond December 22, 2026. The agreement is expected to close in fiscal second quarter 2027, ending December 31, 2026, if the conditions are satisfied.

Fiscal 2026 shows a mixed reset

According to The Hain Celestial Group on September 14, 2026, fiscal 2026 net sales declined from USD 1.56 billion in fiscal 2025 to USD 1.35 billion. Adjusted EBITDA fell from USD 113.8 million to USD 89.0 million, while operating cash flow increased from USD 22.1 million to USD 78.3 million.

The fourth quarter offered a sharper contrast. North America organic net sales increased 2.00 percent year over year, and adjusted EBITDA reached USD 16.1 million against USD 10.4 million in the prior-year quarter. The segment's adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 14.4 percent from 5.1 percent, while the International segment's adjusted EBITDA fell to USD 12.3 million from USD 20.9 million.

Barclays keeps a cautious view

On September 15, 2026, Business Insider reported that Barclays maintained a Sell rating on Hain Celestial with a USD 0.50 price target. The contrast with the planned asset sale is direct: debt reduction depends first on lender consent and transaction completion.
