Sales: $193 million for personal care

Corporate sales: $2.05 billion

While Hain Celestial as a whole had a challenging fiscal year, its personal care segment saw an increase in sales for 2020. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 (the 2021 report comes out after deadline for this year’s Top 50 report), corporate net sales slipped 2.4% to $2.05 billion. Net sales decreased across both the company’s North America and international reportable segments, primarily driven by the strategic decision to no longer support certain lower margin and unprofitable SKUs, a reduction in net sales in relation to divested brands and a decline in our fruit business as a result of impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, personal care sales rose 6% to $192.8 million. Personal care products accounted for approximately 10% of the company’s consolidated net sales in each of fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, according to Hain Celestial’s annual report.

Big news for Hain Celestial’s popular beauty brand Alba Botanica was a partnership with surfer and Olympic medal hopeful Caroline Marks—the youngest surfer ever to qualify for the Women’s Championship Surf Tour and qualified to represent the USA at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. She represents confidence, determination, excellence, and true beauty, all qualities that are valued and celebrated by the Alba Botanica brand, said the company, which is part of Hain Celestial.

“We are absolutely delighted to have Caroline Marks join the Alba Botanica family,” said Lisa Coker, general manager and vice president of personal care at Hain Celestial. “Not only has she been incorporating our product into her daily routine for years, especially when it comes to sun care, but she also shares the belief that the choices we make today can positively impact tomorrow. Caroline embodies this in not only the work she does but the product choices she makes. We look forward to an empowering and impactful collaboration.”

Sales: $200 million (estimated).

The launch pad has been busy at The Hain Celestial Group. In fact, the firm boasted that it had more than 75 new products to showcase at Natural Products Expo West, which was held in Anaheim in March. The products ranged from SKUs sold by food brands that fall under Hain’s umbrella (think Earth’s Best, Ella’s Kitchen, Terra and Rudi’s Organic Bakers) to new entries in personal care, like an SPF 50 sunscreen spray from Alba Botanica, eczema products from Avalon Organics, shave oils from Jasön and a masque made with volcanic ash from Queen Helene.

In addition, Hain has expanded the reach of Live Clean, its well-known Canadian eco-friendly beauty and baby care in the US market.  Live Clean uses 97% plant-based formulations from renewable sources, cruelty-free and made without the use of “harsh chemicals such as parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, phthalates, phosphates and dyes,” according to the company.

While it is clear that Hain has been hot when it comes to NPD, the firm appears to be having issues keeping up with the rigors of being a NASDAQ listed firm. It received what it called an “expected” letter dated May 16, 2017 from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Staff indicating that, based upon the company’s failure to timely file its quarterly report for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, Hain did not satisfy NASQAD Listing Rule about timely file periodic reports with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The panel granted the company an extension through June 15, 2017, and Hain said it intended to continue to take all steps necessary to regain compliance with the rule.

Sales: $125 million

Sales:
$125 million (estimated) for personal care products. Corporate sales: $1.1 billion. Net loss: $24.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2009

Sales of personal care products accounted for 11% of corporate sales last year, up from 10% the year before. Corporate sales rose 7.5% last year, but sales of personal care products were hurt by weakness in the drugstore channel.

The company now markets the Martha Stewart Clean line of household products, which includes laundry, all-purpose, kitchen and bath cleaners.

In March, Hain launched its Earth’s Best brand into the home cleaning category with the introduction of a hypoallergenic baby laundry detergent and all-purpose nursery wipes.

Despite the new product activity, sales through March 31, 2010 tumbled nearly 20% to $694 million.
