Analyst Note

| Rebecca Scheuneman, CFA |

Ahead of no-moat Hain Celestial’s fiscal fourth-quarter report, we increased our fair value estimate to $41 from $35, as we expect the firm’s transition from a decentralized holding company to an integrated operating organization to lead to significant cost savings. Among the changes in our model, we increased our long-term operating margin forecast to above 16% from 14%. Hain’s fourth-quarter results reinforced that the firm is on track to achieve our long-term targets, and we don’t anticipate a material change to our recently raised valuation, leaving shares fairly valued.
