Hain Celestial also experienced solid sales across recently-acquired brands. Acquisitions have been a key part of the company’s strategy to build market share. Not only did buyouts expand Hain Celestial’s geographic reach, but also brought in opportunities to cross-sell its products in the U.S., Canadian, and European markets. Notably, a healthy balance sheet enables the company to target strategic acquisition opportunities. Hain Celestial has also undertaken a number of initiatives to improve its performance and has put itself on a growth trajectory. Management focuses on improving profitability through new product introductions while reducing costs.

Higher demand for natural organic products proved to be a boon for the company, as the quarterly revenue rose 31.5% year over year to $379.4 million.
This rise in consumption, innovative marketing and expanded distribution bodes well for Hain Celestial.
