(and its subsidiary That's How We Roll LLC) and KTB Foods Inc., collectively doing business as "That's How We Roll" ("THWR"), the producer and marketer of ParmCrisps® and Thinsters®. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Dispositions, for details.
Discontinued Operations
The financial statements separately report discontinued operations and the results of continuing operations (see Note 4). All footnotes exclude discontinued operations unless otherwise noted.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in affiliated companies in which the Company exerts significant influence, but which it does not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. As such, consolidated net income includes the Company's equity in the current earnings or losses of such companies.
The Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”). The amounts as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2021 are derived from the Company’s audited annual financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in management’s opinion, are necessary for a fair presentation for interim periods. Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. Please refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2021 and for the fiscal year then ended included in the Form 10-K for information not included in these condensed notes.
All amounts in the unaudited consolidated financial statements, notes and tables have been rounded to the nearest thousand, except par values and per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated.
Transfer of Financial Assets
The Company has non-recourse accounts receivable financing arrangements in which eligible receivables are sold to third-party buyers in exchange for cash. The Company transferred accounts receivables in their entirety to the buyers and satisfied all of the conditions to report the transfer of financial assets in their entirety as a sale. The principal amount of receivables sold under these arrangements was $64,133 and $43,563 during the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The incremental cost of accounts receivable financing arrangements is included in Other income, net in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Significant Accounting Policies
The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K. Included herein are certain updates to those policies.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination on the acquisition date in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. This approach differs from the current requirement to measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination at fair value. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 during the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, and the adoption did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is currently effective and upon adoption may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which clarifies certain provisions in Topic 848, if elected by an entity, to apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company adopted the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

3. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

| Three Months Ended December 31, |  | Six Months Ended December 31,
| 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
Numerator: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net income (loss) from continuing operations | $ | 30,889 |  |  | $ | 2,151 |  |  | $ | 50,300 |  |  | $ | (8,630) |
Net (loss) income from discontinued operations | — |  |  | (11) |  |  | — |  |  | 11,255 |

Denominator: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Basic weighted average shares outstanding | 94,036 |  |  | 100,117 |  |  | 95,579 |  |  | 100,837 |
Effect of dilutive stock options, unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted share units | 772 |  |  | 445 |  |  | 544 |  |  | — |
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding | 94,808 |  |  | 100,562 |  |  | 96,123 |  |  | 100,837 |
Basic net income (loss) per common share: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Continuing operations | $ | 0.33 |  |  | $ | 0.02 |  |  | $ | 0.53 |  |  | $ | (0.09) |
Discontinued operations | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 0.11 |
Basic net income per common share | $ | 0.33 |  |  | $ | 0.02 |  |  | $ | 0.53 |  |  | $ | 0.02 |
Diluted net income (loss) per common share: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Continuing operations | $ | 0.33 |  |  | $ | 0.02 |  |  | $ | 0.52 |  |  | $ | (0.09) |
Discontinued operations | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 0.11 |
Diluted net income per common share | $ | 0.33 |  |  | $ | 0.02 |  |  | $ | 0.52 |  |  | $ | 0.02 |

There were 316 and 211 restricted stock awards excluded from our calculation of diluted net income per sha re for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as such awards were anti-dilutive. There were 158 and 709 restricted stock awards and stock options excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as such awards were anti-dilutive. Due to the net loss from continuing operations in the six months ended December 31, 2020, all common stock equivalents such as stock options and unvested restricted stock awards have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive to the computations in the period.
Additionally, 76 and 1,419 stock-based awards outstanding at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as such awards were contingently issuable based on market or performance conditions, and such conditions had not been achieved during the respective periods.
Share Repurchase Program
In June 2017 and August 2021, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250,000 and $300,000 of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, respectively. Share repurchases under the 2021 authorization commenced in August 2021, after the 2017 authorization was fully utilized. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans, in private transactions or otherwise. The authorization does not have a stated expiration date. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon market conditions and other corporate considerations. In November 2021, the Company entered into a share repurchase agreement with affiliates of Engaged Capital, LLC (collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”), pursuant to which the Company repurchased 1,700 shares directly from the Selling Stockholders at a price of $45.00 per share (see Note 19, Related Party Transactions). During the six months ended December 31, 2021, the Company repurchased 6,552 shares under the repurchase program, inclusive of the shares repurchased from the Selling Stockholders, for a total of $265,420, excluding commissions, at an average price of $40.50 per share. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $116,980 of remaining authorization under the share repurchase program. During the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 2,204 shares under the repurchase program for a total of $71,693,

Consideration for the transaction consisted of cash, net of cash acquired, totaling $260,871, subject to an adjustment for working capital. Of the total consideration, $254,569 was paid at closing, with the remaining $6,302 payable during the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The acquisition was funded with borrowings under the Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 9, Debt and Borrowings). The Company incurred $5,103 of transaction costs in connection with the acquisition which were expensed as incurred, and are included as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021.
The following table summarizes the Company's preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The Company expects to finalize the allocation during fiscal 2022.

Accounts receivable, net | $ | 5,107 |

The goodwill recorded as a result of this acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Results of THWR are included in the United States operating segment, a component of the North America reportable segment. THWR's net sales and income from continuing operations before income taxes included in our consolidated results were not material for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021.
The following table provides unaudited pro forma results of continuing operations had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of fiscal 2021. The proforma information reflects certain adjustments related to the acquisition but does not reflect any potential operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the acquisition. Accordingly, this information has been provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by the Company for the periods presented or that will be achieved by the combined company in the future. The pro forma information has been adjusted to give effect to items that are directly attributable to the transactions and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

Fruit
In August 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to sell its prepared fresh fruit, fresh fruit drinks and fresh fruit desserts division ("Fruit"), primarily consisting of the Orchard House® Foods Limited business and associated brands. This decision supported the Company's overall strategy as the Fruit business did not align, and had limited synergies, with the rest of the Company's businesses. The Compan y determined that the held for sale criteria was met and classified the assets and liabilities of the Fruit business as held for sale as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, recognizing a pre-tax non-cash loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 of $23,596 and $56,093, respectively, to reduce the carrying value to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

The Company’s lease agreements generally do not contain residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. A limited number of lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation.
Some of the Company’s leases contain variable lease payments, which are expensed as incurred unless those payments are based on an index or rate. Variable lease payments based on an index or rate are initially measured using the index or rate in effect at lease commencement and included in the measurement of the lease liability; thereafter, changes to lease payments due to rate or index changes are recorded as variable lease expense in the period incurred. The Company does not have any related party leases, and sublease transactions are de minimis.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On December 22, 2021, the Company refinanced its revolving credit facility by entering into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for senior secured financing of $1,100,000 in the aggregate, consisting of (1) $300,000 in aggregate principal amount of term loans (the "Term Loans") and (2) an $800,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (which includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit, and is comprised of a $440,000 U.S. revolving credit facility and $360,000 global revolving credit facility) (the "Revolver"). Both the Revolver and the Term Loans mature on December 22, 2026. As of December 31, 2021, there were $440,000 of loans under the Revolver, $300,000 of Term Loans, and $6,769 let ters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement provides that loans will bear interest at rates based on (a) the Eurodollar Rate plus a rate ranging from 0.875% to 1.75% per annum or (b) the Base Rate plus a rate ranging from 0.00% to 0.75% per annum, the relevant rate being the Applicable Rate. The Applicable Rate will be determined in accordance with a leverage-based pricing grid, as set forth in the Credit Agreement. Swing Line Loans and Global Swing Line Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars will bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate, and Global Swing Line Loans denominated in foreign currencies shall bear interest based on (a) the Euro Short Term Rate, or €STR, in the case of such loans denominated in Euros plus the Applicable Rate, (b) the Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate, or SONIA, in the case of such loans denominated in Sterling plus the Applicable Rate or (c) the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2021 was 1.45%. Additionally, the Credit Agreement contains a Commitment Fee on the amount unused under the Credit Agreement ranging from 0.15% to 0.25% per annum, and such Commitment Fee is determined in accordance with a leverage-based pricing grid.
The Credit Agreement includes maintenance covenants that will require compliance with a consolidated interest coverage ratio, a consolidated secured leverage ratio and a consolidated leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2021, $353,231 was available under the Credit Agreement, and the Company was in compliance with all associated covenants.
In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company and its material domestic subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Security and Pledge Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which all of the obligations under the Credit Agreement will be secured by liens on assets of the Company and its material domestic subsidiaries, including the equity interests in each of their direct subsidiaries and intellectual property, subject to agreed-upon exceptions.
Credit Agreement Issuance Costs
Based on the Company's evaluation of the borrowing capacity associated with the creditors participating in the previous facility compared to those in the Credit Agreement, $1,762 of the $2,036 of unamortized deferred financing costs at December 22, 2021 were deferred and the remaining $274 were expensed as a component of Interest and other financing expense, net. Additionally, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $2,764 in connection with the Credit Agreement. Of the total $4,526 of deferred debt issuance costs, $3,292 were associated with the Revolver and are being amortized on a straight-line basis within Other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, and $1,234 are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the Term Loans as a component of Interest and other financing expense, net over the term of the Credit Agreement.

10. INCOME TAXES
In general, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability on the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate may change from period-to-period based on recurring and non-recurring factors including the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, state and local income taxes and tax audit settlements.
The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was an expense of 18.6% and 72.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was an expense of 18.6% and 154.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended December 31, 2021 was impacted by the reversal of uncertain tax position accruals based on filing and approval of certain elections by taxing authorities, deductions related to stock based compensation, non-deductible transaction costs related to the acquisition of THWR (see Note 4, Acquisitions and Dispositions), and the reversal of a valuation allowance due to the utilization of a capital loss carryover. The effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended December 31, 2020 was negatively impacted by various discrete items including the tax impact of the United Kingdom Fruit business reserve, the legal entity reorganization, and the UK rate change. The effective income tax rates in each period were also impacted by the geographical mix of earnings and state valuation allowance.
The income tax expense (benefit) from discon tinued operations was nil for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, while the income tax from discontinued operations was a benefit of $11 and a benefit of $11,320 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The benefit for income tax for the six months ended December 31, 2020 was impacted by a legal entity reorganization.

The table above includes a total of 183 shares granted during the six months ended December 31, 2021 that represent the target number of shares that may be earned based on pre-defined market conditions that are eligible to vest ranging from zero to 200% of target. All such shares remained outstanding at December 31, 2021 and relate to the 2022-2024 LTIP as further described below. Granted shares also include 15 shares that may be earned based on certain performance-based metrics being met. Vested shares during the six months ended December 31, 2021 include a total of 1,299 shares under the 2019-2021 LTIP that vested at 100% of target based on achievement of target absolute total shareholder return ("TSR") levels, and a total of 13 shares granted in a previous period that vested based on certain performance-based metrics being met.
The fair value of RSAs, RSUs and PSUs granted and of shares vested, and the tax benefit recognized from restricted shares vesting was as follows:

| Six Months Ended December 31,
| 2021 |  | 2020

2022-2024 LTIP
During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company granted market-based PSU awards under the LTI Program with a total target payout of 183 shares of common stock. Vesting is pursuant to a defined calculation of either relative TSR or absolute TSR (as defined) over the period from November 18, 2021 through the earlier of (i) November 17, 2024; (ii) the date the participant’s employment is terminated due to death or Disability (as defined); or (iii) the effective date of a Change in Control (as defined) (the “TSR Performance Period”). Vesting of 123 target shares of the PSU awards is pursuant to a defined calculation of relative TSR over the TSR Performance Period (the “Relative TSR PSUs”). Vesting of 60 target shares of the PSU awards is pursuant to the achievement of pre-established three-year compound annual TSR targets over the TSR Performance Period (the “Absolute TSR PSUs”). Total shares eligible to vest for both the Relative TSR PSUs and Absolute TSR PSUs range from zero to 200% of the target amount. Grant date fair values are calculated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model with grant date fair values per target share and related valuation assumptions as follows:

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are required to be grouped in one of three levels. The levels prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These levels are:
•Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
•Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
•Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021:

| Total |  | Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) |  | Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) |  | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |

The equity investment consists of the Company’s less than 1% investment in Yeo Hiap Seng Limited, a food and beverage manufacturer and distributor based in Singapore. Fair value is measured using the market approach based on quoted prices. The Company utilizes the income approach to measure fair value for its foreign currency forward contracts. The income approach uses pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as yield curves, currency exchange rates and forward prices.
There were no transfers of financial instruments between the three levels of fair value hierarchy during the six months ended December 31, 2021 or 2020.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and certain accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The Company’s debt approximates fair value due to the debt bearing fluctuating market interest rates (see Note 9, Debt and Borrowings).
In addition to the instruments named above, the Company makes fair value measurements in connection with its interim and annual goodwill and tradename impairment testing and accounting for acquisitions. These measurements fall into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy (See Note 8, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets).
Derivative Instruments
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk and cross-currency swaps and foreign currency exchange contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both the Company’s nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company has determined that the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments made to its derivative contracts, which determination was based on the fair value of each individual contract, was not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, all of the derivatives held as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

15. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s receivables and borrowings.
Certain of the Company’s foreign operations expose the Company to fluctuations of foreign exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of the Company’s cash receipts and payments in terms of the Company’s functional currency. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain assets and liabilities in terms of its functional currency, the U.S. Dollar.
Accordingly, the Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage and mitigate such risks. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable rate debt.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in AOCL and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCL related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate deb t. During the remaining six months of fiscal 2022, the Company estimates that an additional $35 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Interest Rate Derivative | Number of Instruments | Notional Amount
Interest Rate Swap | 4 | $230,000

Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against its functional currency, the U.S. Dollar. The Company uses foreign currency derivatives including cross-currency swaps to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the USD-EUR exchange rates. Cross-currency swaps involve exchanging fixed-rate interest payments for fixed-rate interest receipts, both of which will occur at the USD-EUR forward exchange rates in effect upon entering into the instr ument. The Company, at times, also uses forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the GBP-EUR exchange rates. The Company designates these derivatives as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risks.

Table of Contents
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in AOCL and subsequently reclassified in the period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings within the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged transaction. During the remaining six months of fiscal 2022, the Company estimates that an additional $88 relating to cross-currency swaps will be reclassified as an increase to interest income.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had the following outstanding foreign currency derivatives that were used to hedge its foreign exchange risks:

Foreign Currency Derivative | Number of Instruments | Notional Sold | Notional Purchased
Cross-currency swap | 1 | €24,700 | $26,775
Foreign currency forward contract | 3 | £2,574 | €3,000

Net Investment Hedges
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments it holds in its European foreign entities and their exposure to the Euro. The Company uses fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps to hedge its exposure to changes in the foreign exchange rate on its foreign investment in Europe. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the USD-EUR exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward agreements are typically cash settled in U.S. Dollars for their fair value at or close to their settlement date. Cross-currency swaps involve the receipt of functional-currency-fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making foreign-currency fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement.
For derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported in AOCL as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. Amounts are reclassified out of AOCL into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had the following outstanding foreign currency derivatives that were used to hedge its net investments in foreign operations:

Foreign Currency Derivative | Number of Instruments | Notional Sold | Notional Purchased
Cross-currency swap | 2 | €76,969 | $83,225

Non-Designated Hedges
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements and/or the Company has not elected to apply hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding derivatives that were not designated as hedges in qualifying hedging relationships.

17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Securities Class Actions Filed in Federal Court
On August 17, 2016, three securities class action complaints were filed in the Eastern District of New York (the "District Court") against the Company alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The three complaints are: (1) Flora v. The Hain Celestial Group, Inc., et al. (the “Flora Complaint”); (2) Lynn v. The Hain Celestial Group, Inc., et al. (the “Lynn Complaint”); and (3) Spadola v. The Hain Celestial Group, Inc., et al. (the “Spadola Complaint” and, together with the Flora and Lynn Complaints, the “Securities Complaints”). On June 5, 2017, the District Court issued an order for consolidation, appointment of Co-Lead Plaintiffs and approval of selection of co-lead counsel. Pursuant to this order, the Securities Complaints were consolidated under the caption In re The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. Securities Litigation (the “Consolidated Securities Action”), and Rosewood Funeral Home and Salamon Gimpel were appointed as Co-Lead Plaintiffs. On June 21, 2017, the Company received notice that plaintiff Spadola voluntarily dismissed his claims without prejudice to his ability to participate in the Consolidated Securities Action as an absent class member. The Co-Lead Plaintiffs in the Consolidated Securities Action filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint on August 4, 2017 and a Corrected Consolidated Amended Complaint on September 7, 2017 on behalf of a purported class consisting of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Hain Celestial securities between November 5, 2013 and February 10, 2017 (the “Amended Complaint”). The Amended Complaint named as defendants the Company and certain of its former officers (collectively, “Defendants”) and asserted violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegedly materially false or misleading statements and omissions in public statements, press releases and SEC filings regarding the Company’s business, prospects, financial results and internal controls. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint on October 3, 2017 which the District Court granted on March 29, 2019, dismissing the case in its entirety, without prejudice to replead. Co-Lead Plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint on May 6, 2019 (the “Second Amended Complaint”). The Second Amended Complaint again named as defendants the Company and certain of its former officers and asserts violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegations similar to those in the Amended Complaint, including materially false or misleading statements and omissions in public statements, press releases and SEC filings regarding the Company’s business, prospects, financial results and internal controls. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on June 20, 2019. On April 6, 2020, the District Court granted Defendants' motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint in its entirety, with prejudice. Co-Lead Plaintiffs appealed the District Court’s decision dismissing the Second Amended Complaint to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the "Second Circuit"). By decision dated December 17, 2021, the Second Circuit vacated the District Court’s judgment and remanded the case for further proceedings.
Additional Stockholder Class Action and Derivative Complaints Filed in Federal Court
On April 19, 2017 and April 26, 2017, two class action and stockholder derivative complaints were filed in the Eastern District of New York against the former Board of Directors and certain former officers of the Company under the captions Silva v. Simon, et al. (the “Silva Complaint”) and Barnes v. Simon, et al. (the “Barnes Complaint”), respectively. Both the Silva
31

Table of Contents
Complaint and the Barnes Complaint allege violation of securities law, breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment.
On May 23, 2017, an additional stockholder filed a complaint under seal in the Eastern District of New York against the former Board of Directors and certain former officers of the Company. The complaint alleged that the Company’s former directors and certain former officers made materially false and misleading statements in press releases and SEC filings regarding the Company’s business, prospects and financial results. The complaint also alleged that the Company violated its by-laws and Delaware law by failing to hold its 2016 Annual Stockholders Meeting and includes claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and corporate waste. On August 9, 2017, the District Court granted an order to unseal this case and reveal Gary Merenstein as the plaintiff (the “Merenstein Complaint”).
On August 10, 2017, the District Court granted the parties' stipulation to consolidate the Barnes Complaint, the Silva Complaint and the Merenstein Complaint under the caption In re The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. Stockholder Class and Derivative Litigation (the “Consolidated Stockholder Class and Derivative Action”) and to appoint Robbins Arroyo LLP and Scott+Scott as Co-Lead Counsel, with the Law Offices of Thomas G. Amon as Liaison Counsel for Plaintiffs. On September 14, 2017, a related complaint was filed under the caption Oliver v. Berke, et al. (the “Oliver Complaint”), and on October 6, 2017, the Oliver Complaint was consolidated with the Consolidated Stockholder Class and Derivative Action. The Plaintiffs filed their consolidated amended complaint under seal on October 26, 2017. On December 20, 2017, the parties agreed to stay Defendants’ time to answer, move, or otherwise respond to the consolidated amended complaint through and including 30 days after a decision was rendered on the motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint in the Consolidated Securities Action, described above.
On March 29, 2019, the District Court in the Consolidated Securities Action granted Defendants’ motion, dismissing the Amended Complaint in its entirety, without prejudice to replead. Co-Lead Plaintiffs in the Consolidated Securities Action filed the Second Amended Complaint on May 6, 2019. The parties to the Consolidated Stockholder Class and Derivative Action agreed to continue the stay of Defendants’ time to answer, move, or otherwise respond to the consolidated amended complaint through 30 days after a decision on Defendants' motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint in the Consolidated Securities Action.
On April 6, 2020, the District Court granted Defendants’ motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint in the Consolidated Securities Action, with prejudice. Pursuant to the terms of the stay, Defendants in the Consolidated Stockholder Class and Derivative Action had until May 6, 2020 to answer, move, or otherwise respond to the complaint in this matter. This deadline was extended, and Defendants moved to dismiss the Consolidated Stockholder Class and Derivative Action Complaint on June 23, 2020, with Plaintiffs’ opposition due August 7, 2020.
On July 24, 2020, Plaintiffs made a stockholder litigation demand on the current Board containing overlapping factual allegations to those set forth in the Consolidated Stockholder Class and Derivative Action. On August 10, 2020, the District Court vacated the briefing schedule on Defendants’ pending motion to dismiss in order to give the Board of Directors time to consider the demand. On each of September 8 and October 8, 2020, the District Court extended its stay of any applicable deadlines for 30 days to give the Board of Directors additional time to complete its evaluation of the demand. On November 3, 2020, Plaintiffs were informed that the Board of Directors had finished investigating and resolved, among other things, that the demand should be rejected. On November 6, 2020, Plaintiffs and Defendants notified the District Court that Plaintiffs were evaluating the rejection of the demand, sought certain additional information and were assessing next steps, and requested that the District Court extend the stay for an additional 30 days, to on or around December 7, 2020. The Parties then filed a number of additional joint status reports, requesting that the District Court continue the stay of applicable deadlines through December 30, 2021. In light of the Second Circuit vacating the District Court’s judgment in the Consolidated Securities Action referenced above and remanding the case for further proceedings, the Parties submitted a joint status report on December 29, 2021 requesting that the District C ourt continue the temporary stay pending the District Court’s reconsideration of the Defendants’ motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint in the Consolidated Securities Action. The District Court has extended the temporary stay through December 30, 2022.
Baby Food Litigation
Since February 2021, a large number of consumer class actions have been brought against the Company alleging that the Company’s Earth’s Best baby food products (the “Products”) contain unsafe and undisclosed levels of various naturally occurring heavy metals, namely lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury. There are currently 29 active lawsuits, which generally allege that the Company violated various state consumer protection laws and make other state and common law warranty and unjust enrichment claims related to the alleged failure to disclose the presence of these metals and that consumers would have allegedly either not purchased the Products or would have paid less for them had the Company made adequate disclosures.
32

Table of Contents
These putative class actions seek to certify a nationwide class of consumers as well as various state subclasses. One of the consumer class actions (Kathryn Gavula, et al. v. Beech-Nut Nutrition Co., et al.) filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon alleges that the Company violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) by conspiring with other baby food manufacturers to conceal the presence of these heavy metals in our respective products. These actions have been filed against all of the major baby food manufacturers in federal courts across the country. The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (“JPML”) declined a request to centralize all of the consumer class action lawsuits against all of the baby food manufacturers into a single multidistrict proceeding, and all but one of these cases against the Company have now been transferred and consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York into a proceeding captioned In re Hain Celestial Heavy Metals Baby Food Litigation, Case No. 2:21-cv-678 (the "Consolidated Proceeding"). The Eastern District of New York has appointed interim class counsel for the plaintiffs in the Consolidated Proceeding, and the plaintiffs’ consolidated complaint is due in February 2022. One consumer class action is pending in New York Supreme Court, Nassau County. The Company has moved to stay or transfer this case to the Consolidated Proceeding and that motion is pending. The Company denies the allegations in these lawsuits and contends that its baby foods are safe and properly labeled.
The claims raised in these lawsuits were brought in the wake of a highly publicized report issued by the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy on Oversight and Reform, dated February 4, 2021 (the “House Report”), addressing the presence of heavy metals in baby foods made by certain manufacturers, including the Company. Since the publishing of the House Report, the Company has also received information requests with respect to the advertising and quality of its baby foods from certain governmental authorities, as such authorities investigate the claims made in the House Report. The Company is fully cooperating with these requests and is providing documents and other requested information. The Company has been named in one civil government enforcement action, State of New Mexico ex rel. Balderas v. Nurture, Inc., et al., which was filed by the New Mexico Attorney General against the Company and several other manufacturers based on the alleged presence of heavy metals in their baby food products. The Company and several other manufacturers have moved to dismiss the New Mexico Attorney General’s lawsuit, and that motion to dismiss is currently pending.
In addition to the consumer class actions discussed above, the Company is currently named in four lawsuits in state and federal courts alleging some form of personal injury from the ingestion of the Company’s Products, purportedly due to unsafe and undisclosed levels of various naturally occurring heavy metals. Two of these lawsuits name multiple plaintiffs alleging claims of physical injuries. These lawsuits generally allege injuries related to neurological development disorders such as autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The Company denies that its Products led to any of these injuries and will defend the cases vigorously.
Other
In addition to the litigation described above, the Company is and may be a defendant in lawsuits from time to time in the normal course of business.

Our International reportable segment is comprised of three operating segments: United Kingdom, Ella’s Kitchen UK and Europe. This structure is in line with how our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) assesses our performance and allocates resources.
We use segment net sales and operating income to evaluate performance and to allocate resources. We believe these measures are most relevant in order to analyze segment results and trends. Segment operating income excludes certain general corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses), impairment and acquisition related expenses, restructuring, integration and other charges.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes thereto for the period ended December 31, 2021 contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. Forward looking statements in this Form 10-Q are qualified by the cautionary statement included in this Form 10-Q under the sub-heading “Forward-Looking Statements” in the introduction of this Form 10-Q.
Overview
The Hain Celestial Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively, along with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” and herein referred to as “Hain Celestial,” “we,” “us” and “our”), was founded in 1993 and is headquartered in Lake Success, New York. The Company’s mission has continued to evolve since its founding, with health and wellness being the core tenet. The Company continues to be a leading marketer, manufacturer and seller of organic and natural, "better-for-you" products by anticipating and exceeding consumer expectations in providing quality, innovation, value and convenience. The Company is committed to growing sustainably while continuing to implement environmentally sound business practices and manufacturing processes. Hain Celestial sells its products through specialty and natural food distributors, supermarkets, natural food stores, mass-market and e-commerce retailers, food service channels and club, drug and convenience stores in over 80 countries worldwide. The Company operates under two reportable segments: North America and International.
The Company manufactures, markets, distributes and sells organic and natural products under brand names providing consumers with the opportunity to lead A Healthier Way of Life®. Hain Celestial is a leader in many organic and natural products categories, with ma ny recognized brands in the various market categories it serves, including Celestial Seasonings®, Clarks™, Cully & Sully®, Earth’s Best®, Ella’s Kitchen®, Frank Cooper’s®, Gale’s®, Garden of Eatin’®, Hain Pure Foods®, Hartley’s®, Health Valley®, Imagine®, Joya®, Lima®, Linda McCartney's® (under license), MaraNatha®, Natumi®, New Covent Garden Soup Co.®, ParmCrisps®, Robertson’s®, Rose's® (under license), Sensible Portions®, Spectrum®, Sun-Pat®, Terra®, The Greek Gods®, Thinsters®, Yorkshire Provender® and Yves Veggie Cuisine®. The Company’s personal care products are marketed under the Alba Botanica®, Avalon Organics®, JASON®, Live Clean®, and Queen Helene® brands.
Our previous strategy, which we refer to as Hain 2.0, was executed under four key pillars—(1) simplify our portfolio; (2) strengthen our capabilities; (3) expand profit margins and cash flow; and (4) reinvigorate profitable topline growth. This strategy has laid the foundation for Hain 3.0, our vision and strategy for the next several years, which is about building a global healthy food and beverage company with industry-leading top line growth. We believe Hain 3.0 positions us as an advantaged and differentiated company, as compared to others in the food industry for several reasons:
•we are singularly focused on health and wellness,
•we are a global company in high-growth categories with opportunities for expansion in existing and new channels and geographies,
•we have unique and advantaged brands with strong points of difference, and
•given our size, small wins can drive material incremental growth.
We have re-segmented the brand portfolio with a more global view to where we have the most growth potential. As a result, we have migrated from a strategy focused on rejuvenating North America behind a construct of “Get Bigger" and "Get Better” brand categories to one that focuses on growing global brands in categories where we think we have the most potential. The categories we have identified are called Turbocharge, Targeted Investment, and Fuel:
•The Turbocharge brands are leading-share brands in very high-growth categories. The Turbocharge brands are made up of plant-based meat and non-dairy beverages as well as snacks. Our meat and dairy alternatives are concentrated outside the United States, while the snacks businesses include brands both within the United States and in International.
•The Targeted Investment brands are made up of leading-share brands in lower-growth categories. To date, we have demonstrated our ability to drive market share and reinvigorate these categories, and we expect that we can continue to do this in the future. The Targeted Investment brands are made up of tea, baby, yogurt, and personal care. In contrast with Hain 2.0, baby is now one of our growth focus areas, due to its strong brands, scale, profitability, and growth prospects.
•The Fuel brands are stable brands that will be leveraged to fuel investment in the Turbocharge and Targeted Investment categories. Fuel brands are made up of premium pantry brands with scale, in categories such as soup, cooking oils and nut butters.

Table of Contents
Additionally, as part of Hain 3.0, we will continue to simplify our brand portfolio as we continue to identify brands that are declining and have low margins. The Simplify brands are subscale declining businesses that have limited long-term potential for the Company, and therefore will be managed for profit until they are potentially divested, likely over the course of the next several years. Acquisitions are expected to play a role in Hain 3.0 and part of our capital allocation strategy is focused on actively looking for targets in the market. As we continue to simplify and stabilize the organization and consolidate sales into fewer priority categories, we are well-positioned and expect to make targeted acquisitions supported by our borrowing capacity to help us further strengthen our position in those categories.
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a net increase in overall demand for our products. The impact was particularly pronounced during the early stages of the pandemic as consumers reacted to stay-at-home measures and the uncertainty of the pandemic. In particular, our net sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 through the second quarter of fiscal 2021 benefited from pandemic-driven demand. The pandemic-driven demand for our products has subsided as effective vaccines have become available, governments have eased safety measures and consumer purchasing behaviors have started to return to pre-pandemic norms. As a result, net sales were lower in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2021 compared to the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2020, respectively. Further, net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 were lower than our net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 as a result of normalizing consumer demand, among other factors as described more fully herein.
The pandemic and the measures being taken by governments, businesses and consumers to limit the spread of COVID-19 have led to operational challenges in our business and may result in broader and longer-term challenges and uncertainty that we will need to manage successfully. Such challenges include but are not limited to:
•manufacturing, supply chain and logistics challenges resulting from health and safety precautions among our employees and the general population as well as macroeconomic factors resulting from the pandemic, including labor market shortages;
•an uncertain future demand environment as a result of changing consumer behaviors amid uncertain economic conditions; and
•increased costs of operating our business and managing our supply chain during a global pandemic, driven by well-publicized industry-wide inflation, supply chain and labor challenges.
Acquisition
On December 28, 2021, the Company acquired all outstanding stock of Proven Brands, Inc. (and its subsidiary That's How We Roll LLC) and KTB Foods Inc., collectively doing business as "That's How We Roll" ("THWR"), the producer and marketer of ParmCrisps® and Thinsters®. The acquisition of these two fast-growing, better-for-you brands deepens the Company's position in the snacking category and represents a significant step in establishing the Company as a high-growth, global healthy food company. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Dispositions, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional details.
Discontinued Operations
On August 27, 2019, the Company and Ebro Foods S.A. (the “Purchaser”) entered into, and consummated the transactions contemplated by, an agreement relating to the sale and purchase of the entities comprising the Company’s Tilda operating segment and certain other assets.
The Company's dispositions are described in more detail in Note 5, Dispositions, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K.

Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were $476.9 million, a decrease of $51.5 million, or 9.7%, as compared to $528.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020. On a constant currency basis, adjusted for the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and discontinued brands, net sales decreased approximately $10.9 million, or 2.2%, from the prior year quarter driven by the International reportable segment. Further details of changes in net sales by segment are provided below in the Segment Results section.

Table of Contents
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $117.3 million, a decrease of $12.7 million, or 9.7%, as compared to the prior year quarter. Gross profit margin of 24.6% was consistent with the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross profit was driven primarily by the North America reportable segment which experienced inflationary and supply chain challenges, such as continued industry-wide distribution and warehousing cost pressures driven by labor shortages, freight carrier availability and other freight cost issues, as well as lower net sales in the Canada operating segment when compared with the prior year period. The International reportable segment also had a decrease in gross profit mainly due to lower net sales in the Europe operating segment, as well as higher energy and supply chain costs when compared to the prior year period, partially offset by higher net sales in the Ella's Kitchen UK operating segment.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $80.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $4.5 million, or 5.3%, from $84.6 million for the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in labor-related expenses as well as efficiencies gained from the Company's productivity and transformation initiatives. Marketing costs were reduced compared to the prior year quarter to avoid driving excess demand given the industry-wide supply challenges being faced. These decreases were partially offset by higher transaction costs incurred in fiscal year 2022, including costs related to the acquisition of THWR and advisory costs related to the divestiture by affiliates of Engaged Capital, LLC of their shares of the Company's common stock, as well as higher litigation expenses related to the baby food litigation described above.
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets
Amortization of acquired intangibles was $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $0.1 million from $2.2 million in the prior year quarter due to prior year dispositions that occurred in the later part of fiscal 2021.
Productivity and Transformation Costs
Productivity and transformation costs were $2.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $2.2 million from $5.0 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to reduced spending in consulting fees related to supply chain optimization as the current transformation effort approaches expiration.
Long-lived Asset Impairment
During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized a pre-tax impairment charge of $0.3 million related to a facility in the United Kingdom. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a pre-tax impairment charge of $25.2 million primarily related to a reduction in the carrying value to the estimated fair value, less costs to sell, for the United Kingdom Fruit business (see Note 4, Acquisitions and Dispositions, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).
Operating Income
Operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $32.0 million compared to $13.0 million in the prior year quarter as a result of the items described above.
Interest and Other Financing Expense, Net
Interest and other financing expense, net totaled $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $0.3 million, or 10.9%, from $2.3 million in the prior year quarter. The increase resulted primarily from a higher outstanding debt balance driven primarily by share repurchase activity. See Note 9, Debt and Borrowings, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net totaled $9.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $1.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in income was primarily attributable to the gain on sale of assets related to the sale of undeveloped land plots in Boulder, Colorado resulting in a gain of $8.7 million with no comparable gain in the prior year quarter.

Income from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes and Equity in Net Loss of Equity-Method Investees
Income from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in net loss of our equity-method investees for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $38.5 million compared to $11.7 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was due to the items discussed above.
Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was an expense of 18.6% and 72.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was impacted by deductions related to stock-based compensation, non-deductible transaction costs related to the acquisition of THWR and the reversal of a valuation allowance due to the utilization of a capital loss carryover. The effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was negatively impacted by various discrete items including the tax impact of the United Kingdom fruit business reserve, the legal entity reorganization and the UK rate change.
Our effective tax rate may change from period-to-period based on recurring and non-recurring factors including the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, state and local income taxes and tax audit settlements.
Equity in Net Loss of Equity-Method Investees
Our equity in net loss from our equity-method investments for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $0.5 million and $1.1 million in the prior year quarter. See Note 13, Investments, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Net Income from Continuing Operations
Net income from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $30.9 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase in net income was attributable to the factors noted above.
Net Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
See Note 4, Acquisitions and Dispositions, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further discussion.
Net Income
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $30.9 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to $2.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. The change was attributable to the factors noted above.
Adjusted EBITDA
Our Adjusted EBITDA was $59.3 million and $62.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as a result of the factors discussed above and the adjustments described in the Reconciliation of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures to U.S. GAAP Measures presented following the discussion of our results of operations.

North America
Our net sales in the North America reportable segment for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were $275.0 million, a decrease of $7.6 million, or 2.7%, from net sales of $282.6 million in the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, adjusted for the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and discontinued brands, net sales increased by 0.5%. In the United States operating segment, adjusted sales were higher compared to the prior year quarter mainly due to stronger sales in snacks, partially offset by lower sales in personal care, tea and other product categories. In the Canada operating segment, adjusted sales decreased compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to lower sales in meat-free and personal care product categories. Operating income in North America for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $27.2 million, a decrease of $5.3 million from $32.4 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was mainly driven by inflationary and supply chain challenges, such as continued industry-wide distribution and warehousing cost pressures driven by labor shortages, freight carrier availability and other freight cost issues, as well as lower net sales in the Canada operating segment when compared with the prior year quarter, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses (mainly driven by lower labor-related costs and marketing expenses).
I nternational
Our net sales in the International reportable segment for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were $201.9 million, a decrease of $43.9 million, or 17.9%, from net sales of $245.8 million in the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, adjusted for the impact of divestitures and discontinued brands, net sales decreased 5.8% from the prior year quarter primarily due to a decline in sales in the Europe operating segments, partially offset by an increase in sales in the Ella's Kitchen UK operating segment. Operating income in our International reportable segment for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $27.4 million, an increase of $30.1 million from operating loss of $2.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase mainly reflected non-recurring impairment charges associated with the fruit business impairment that was recognized in the prior year quarter with no such charge in the current quarter. In addition, operating income was higher in current quarter compared to prior year quarter due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses (mainly driven by lower labor-related costs and marketing expenses) partially offset by lower gross profit due to a decline in sales, as well as higher energy and supply chain costs, when compared to the prior year quarter.

Corporate and Other
Our Corporate and Other category consists of expenses related to the Company’s centralized administrative functions, which do not specifically relate to an operating segment. Such Corporate and Other expenses are comprised mainly of compensation and related expenses of certain of the Company’s senior executive officers and other employees who perform duties related to our entire enterprise as well as expenses for certain professional fees, acquisition and divestiture transaction costs, facilities, and other items which benefit the Company as a whole. Our operating loss in Corporate and Other for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $22.5 million, an increase of $5.8 million, from operating loss of $16.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. This change was primarily related to higher transaction costs incurred in fiscal year 2022 including costs related to the acquisition of THWR and advisory costs related to the divestiture by affiliates of Engaged Capital, LLC of their shares of the Company's common stock, as well as higher litigation expenses related to the baby food litigation described above, partially offset by lower labor-related expenses.

Net Sales
Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2021 were $931.8 million, a decrease of $95.2 million, or 9.3%, as compared to $1,027.0 million in the six months ended December 31, 2020. On a constant currency basis, adjusted for the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and discontinued brands, net sales decreased approximately $11.6 million, or 1.2%, from the prior comparable period driven by both the North America and International reportable segments. Further details of changes in net sales by segment are provided below in the Segment Results section.

Gross Profit
Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2021 was $222.7 million, a decrease of $26.4 million, or 10.6%, as compared to the prior year comparable period. Gross profit margin was 23.9% of net sales, compared to 24.3% in the prior year comparable period. The decrease in gross profit was driven primarily by the North America reportable segment as a result of lower net sales in both the United States and Canada operating segments when compared with the prior year period as well as higher costs associated with inflationary and supply chain challenges, such as continued industry-wide distribution and warehousing cost pressures driven by labor shortages, freight carrier availability and other freight cost issues. The decrease in the North America reportable segment gross profit was offset in part by an increase in the International reportable segment. The International reportable segment increase was primarily due to the Ella's Kitchen UK operating segment having higher net sales than the prior year period due to a slow-down in consumer demand for baby food in the prior year period as a result of COVID stay-at-home requirements which negatively impacted prior year net sales. Despite a net sales decrease, the Hain United Kingdom operating segment also showed gross profit growth versus the prior year comparable period driven by an improvement in gross margin as the divested low-margin fruit business no longer impacted profitability in the current quarter.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $154.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $10.0 million, or 6.1%, from $164.1 million for the prior year comparable period. The decrease was driven by decreases in the North America and International reportable segments, partially offset by an increase in Corporate and Other as a result of higher transaction costs incurred in fiscal year 2022 including costs related to the acquisition of THWR and advisory costs related to the divestiture by affiliates of Engaged Capital, LLC of their shares of the Company's common stock, as well as higher litigation expenses related to the baby food litigation described above. The decrease in the North America and International reportable segments was primarily a result of 1) lower labor-related expenses, 2) decreased marketing costs in the United States and Canada operating segments and 3) lower broker commissions in the Europe operating segment.
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets
Amortization of acquired intangibles was $4.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $0.5 million from $4.6 million in the prior year comparable period due to prior year dispositions that occurred in the later part of fiscal 2021.
Productivity and Transformation Costs
Productivity and transformation costs were $6.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $0.3 million from $6.4 million in the prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily due to higher consulting fees related to supply chain optimization and other productivity and transformation initiatives.
Long-lived Asset Impairment
During the six months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized a pre-tax impairment charge of $0.3 million related to a facility in the United Kingdom. During the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a pre-tax impairment charge of $57.7 million primarily related to a reduction in the carrying value to the estimated fair value, less costs to sell, for the United Kingdom fruit business (see Note 4, Acquisitions and Dispositions, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).
Operating Income
Operating income for the six months ended December 31, 2021 was $57.6 million compared to $16.2 million in the prior year comparable period as a result of the items described above.
Interest and Other Financing Expense, Net
Interest and other financing expense, net totaled $4.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 7.1%, from $4.8 million in the prior year comparable period. The decrease resulted primarily from lower variable interest rates applied to borrowings outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility, partially offset by increases as a result of a higher outstanding debt balances driven primarily by share repurchase activity. See Note 9, Debt and Borrowings, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents
Other Income, Net
Other income, net totaled $9.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $2.4 million in the prior year comparable period. The increase in income was primarily attributable to the gain on sale of assets related to the sale of undeveloped land plots in Boulder, Colorado resulting in a gain of $8.7 million with no comparable gain in the prior year period.
Income from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes and Equity in Net Loss of Equity-Method Investees
Income from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in net loss of our equity-method investees for the six months ended December 31, 2021 was income of $63.0 million compared to $13.9 million in the prior year comparable period. The increase was due to the items discussed above.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes includes federal, foreign, state and local income taxes. Our income tax expense from continuing operations was $11.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $21.4 million in the prior year comparable period.
The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was an expense of 18.6% and 154.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended December 31, 2021 was impacted by the reversal of uncertain tax position accruals based on filing and approval of certain elections by taxing authorities, deductions related to stock based compensation, non-deductible transaction costs related to acquisition of THWR and the reversal of a valuation allowance due to the utilization of a capital loss carryover. The effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended December 31, 2020 was negatively impacted by various discrete items including the tax impact of the United Kingdom fruit business reserve, the legal entity reorganization and the UK rate change.
Our effective tax rate may change from period-to-period based on recurring and non-recurring factors including the geographical mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, state and local income taxes and tax audit settlements.
Equity in Net Loss of Equity-Method Investees
Our equity in net loss from our equity-method investments for the six months ended December 31, 2021 was $1.0 million compared to $1.1 million in the prior year comparable period. See Note 13, Investments, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations
Net income from continuing operations for the six months ended December 31, 2021 was $50.3 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $8.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The change to income from loss was attributable to the factors noted above.
Net Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the six months ended December 31, 2020 was $11.3 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. During the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized an $11.3 million adjustment to the Tilda business primarily related to the recognition of a deferred tax benefit.

North America
Our net sales in the North America reportable segment for the six months ended December 31, 2021 were $540.5 million, a decrease of $22.7 million, or 4.0%, from net sales of $563.3 million in the prior year comparable period. On a constant currency basis, adjusted for the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and discontinued brands, net sales decreased by 0.4% due to decreased sales in the Canada operating segment, partially offset by increased sales in the United States operating segment due to stronger sales in certain snack products, tea and baby food in the current year period. Operating income in North America for the six months ended December 31, 2021 was $44.0 million, a decrease of $21.7 million from $65.7 million in the prior year comparable period. The decrease was mainly driven by 1) higher cost of goods sold in the United States operating segment largely because of inflationary and supply chain challenges, such as continued industry-wide distribution and warehousing cost pressures driven by labor shortages, freight carrier availability and other freight cost issues; and 2) lower sales in Canada operating segment, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses in both the United States and Canada operating segments. Lower selling, general and administrative expenses were mainly due to lower labor-related costs and marketing expenses.

Our net sales in the International reportable segment for the six months ended December 31, 2021 were $391.3 million, a decrease of $72.5 million, or 15.6%, from net sales of $463.8 million in the prior year comparable period. On a constant currency basis, adjusted for the impact of divestitures and discontinued brands, net sales decreased 2.4% from the prior year comparable period mainly due to lower sales in the Europe operating segment, partially offset by higher sales in the Ella's Kitchen UK and Hain United Kingdom operating segments. Operating income in our International reportable segment for the six months ended December 31, 2021 was $51.4 million, an increase of $70.1 million from operating loss of $18.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The increase mainly reflects non-recurring charges associated with the fruit business impairment that was recognized in the prior year period. In addition, the International reportable segment incurred lower selling, general and administrative expenses mainly driven by lower labor-related costs when compared to the prior year period.
Corporate and Other
Our Corporate and Other category consists of expenses related to the Company’s centralized administrative functions, which do not specifically relate to an operating segment. Such Corporate and Other expenses are comprised mainly of compensation and related expenses of certain of the Company’s senior executive officers and other employees who perform duties related to our entire enterprise as well as expenses for certain professional fees, acquisition and divestiture transaction costs, facilities, and other items which benefit the Company as a whole. Our operating expenses in Corporate and Other for the six months ended December 31, 2021 were $37.9 million, an increase of $7.0 million, from $30.8 million in the prior year period. This change was primarily related to higher transaction costs incurred in fiscal year 2022 including costs related to the acquisition of THWR and advisory costs related to the divestiture by affiliates of Engaged Capital, LLC of their shares of the Company's common stock, as well as higher litigation expenses related to the baby food litigation described above, partially offset by lower labor-related expenses.
Refer to Note 18, Segment Information, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We finance our operations and growth primarily with the cash flows we generate from our operations and from borrowings available to us under our amended Credit Agreement. We believe that our cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under our amended Credit Agreement (as defined below) will be adequate to meet anticipated operating and other expenditures for the foreseeable future.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On December 22, 2021, the Company refinanced its revolving credit facility by entering into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for senior secured financing of $1,100,000 in the aggregate, consisting of (1) $300,000 in aggregate principal amount of term loans (the "Term Loans") and (2) an $800,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (which includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit, and is comprised of a $440,000 U.S. revolving credit facility and $360,000 global revolving credit facility) (the "Revolver"). Both the Revolver and the Term Loans mature on December 22, 2026.
Our cash and cash equivalents balance increased $1.3 million at December 31, 2021 to $77.2 million as compared to $75.9 million at June 30, 2021. Our working capital from continuing operations was $277.9 million at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $6.8 million from $284.7 million at the end of fiscal 2021. Additionally, our total debt increased by $508.4 million at December 31, 2021 to $739.4 million as compared to $231.0 million at June 30, 2021 as a result of $510.0 million of net additional borrowings to support the THWR acquisition and the share repurchases carried out during the period. As of December 31, 2021, $353.2 million was available under the amended Credit Agreement as compared to $763.6 million as of June 30, 2021. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2021.
Liquidity is affected by many factors, some of which are based on normal ongoing operations of the Company’s business and some of which arise from fluctuations related to global economics and markets. Our cash balances are held in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Europe, Middle East and India. As of December 31, 2021, substantially all of the total cash balance from continuing operations was held outside of the United States. It is our current intent to indefinitely reinvest our remaining foreign earnings outside the United States.

We maintain our cash and cash equivalents primarily in money market funds or their equivalent. As of December 31, 2021, all of our investments were expected to mature in less than three months. Accordingly, we do not believe that our investments have significant exposure to interest rate risk. Cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities is summarized below.

| Six Months Ended December 31, |  | Change in

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $68.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $36.5 million from cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of $104.5 million in the prior year period. This decrease versus the prior period resulted primarily from a reduction of $13.5 million in lower net income adjusted for non-cash charges in the current period and lower cash generation of $23.0 million from our working capital accounts which was mainly due to a refund of $53.8 million received by the Company in the prior year from Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act").
Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $272.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $247.1 million from $25.2 million in the prior year period primarily due to the acquisition of THWR in the current year, partially offset by $10.7 million in proceeds from the sale of assets.
Cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations was $208.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, an increase in cash provided of $271.0 million compared to $62.2 million of cash used in the prior year period. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to higher borrowings under the Credit Agreement to finance the THWR acquisition, higher share repurchases and payment of shares withheld for employee payroll taxes during the six months ended December 31, 2021.
Operating Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations
Our operating free cash flow from continuing operations was $40.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $34.8 million from $74.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 2020. This decrease versus prior year resulted primarily from a decrease in cash flow from operations of $36.5 million driven by the reasons explained above. See the Reconciliation of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures to U.S. GAAP Measures following the discussion of our results of operations for definitions and a reconciliation from our net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations to operating free cash flow from continuing operations.
Share Repurchase Program
In June 2017 and August 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250.0 million and $300.0 million of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, respectively. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans, in private transactions or otherwise. The authorization does not have a stated expiration date. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon market conditions and other corporate considerations. In November 2021, the Company entered into a share repurchase agreement with affiliates of Engaged Capital, LLC (collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”), pursuant to which the Company repurchased 1.7 million shares directly from the Selling Stockholders at a price of $45.00 per share. During the six months ended December 31, 2021, the Company repurchased 6,552 shares under the repurchase program, inclusive of the shares repurchased from the Selling Stockholders, for a total of $265.4 million, excluding commissions, at an average price of $40.50 per share. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $117.0 million of remaining authorization under the share repurchase program. During the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 2,204 shares under the repurchase program for a total of $71.7 million, excluding commissions, at an average price of $32.53 per share. In January 2022, the

Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200 million of shares, which will commence after the 2021 authorization is fully utilized.
Reconciliation of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures to U.S. GAAP Measures
We have included in this report measures of financial performance that are not defined by U.S. GAAP. We believe that these measures provide useful information to investors and include these measures in other communications to investors.
For each of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, we are providing below a reconciliation of the differences between the non-U.S. GAAP measure and the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, an explanation of why our management and Board of Directors believe the non-U.S. GAAP measure provides useful information to investors and any additional purposes for which our management and Board of Directors use the non-U.S. GAAP measures. These non-U.S. GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, the comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
Constant Currency Presentation
We believe that this measure provides useful information to investors because it provides transparency to underlying performance in our consolidated net sales by excluding the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have on year-to-year comparability given the volatility in foreign currency exchange markets. To present this information for historical periods, current period net sales for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar are translated into U.S. Dollars at the average monthly exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, rather than at the actual average monthly exchange rate in effect during the current period of the current fiscal year. As a result, the foreign currency impact is equal to the current year results in local currencies multiplied by the change in average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.
Acquisitions, Divestitures and Discontinued Brands
We also exclude the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and discontinued brands when comparing net sales to prior periods, which results in the presentation of certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. The Company's management believes that excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and discontinued brands when presenting period-over-period results of net sales aids in comparability.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, equity in net loss of equity-method investees, stock-based compensation, unrealized currency gains and losses, litigation and related costs, plant closure related costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, gains or losses on sales of assets and businesses, inventory write-downs, impairment of long-lived asset and other adjustments. The Company’s management believes that this presentation provides useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its results of operations and financial condition. In addition, management uses this measure for reviewing the financial results of the Company and as a component of performance-based
50

Table of Contents
executive compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
We do not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes certain expenses and income that are required by U.S. GAAP to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to inherent limitations as this metric reflects the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining Adjusted EBITDA. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents Adjusted EBITDA in connection with U.S. GAAP results.
A reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

Operating Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations
In our internal evaluations, we use the non-U.S. GAAP financial measure “Operating Free Cash Flow from continuing operations.” The difference between Operating Free Cash Flow from continuing operations and cash flow provided by or used in operating activities from continuing operations, which is the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is that Operating Free Cash Flow from continuing operations reflects the impact of purchases of property, plant and equipment (capital spending). Since capital spending is essential to maintaining our operational capabilities, we believe that it is a recurring and necessary use of cash. As such, we believe investors should also consider capital spending when evaluating our cash provided
51

by or used in operating activities. We view Operating Free Cash Flow from continuing operations as an important measure because it is one factor in evaluating the amount of cash available for discretionary investments. We do not consider Operating Free Cash Flow from continuing operations in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
A reconciliation from cash flow provided by operating activities from continuing operations to Operating Free Cash flow from continuing operations is as follows:

| Six Months Ended December 31,
(amounts in thousands) | 2021 |  | 2020
Cash flow provided by operating activities from continuing operations | $ | 68,031 |  |  | $ | 104,530 |
Purchases of property, plant and equipment | (27,996) |  |  | (29,671) |
Operating free cash flow from continuing operations | $ | 40,035 |  |  | $ | 74,859 |

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At December 31, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K that have had, or are likely to have, a material current or future effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The accounting principles we use require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods presented. We believe in the quality and reasonableness of our critical accounting policies; however, materially different amounts may be reported under different conditions or using assumptions different from those that we have applied. The accounting policies that have been identified as critical to our business operations and to understanding the results of our operations pertain to revenue recognition, trade promotions and sales incentives, valuation of accounts and chargeback receivable, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets, stock-based compensation and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. The application of each of these critical accounting policies and estimates is discussed in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2, Basis of Presentation, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Seasonality
Certain of our product lines have seasonal fluctuations. Hot tea, hot-eating desserts and soup sales are stronger in colder months, while sales of snack foods, sunscreen and certain of our personal care products are stronger in the warmer months. As such, our results of operations and our cash flows for any particular quarter are not indicative of the results we expect for the full year, and our historical seasonality may not be indicative of future quarterly results of operations. In recent years, net sales and diluted earnings per share in the first fiscal quarter have typically been the lowest of our four quarters.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no significant changes in market risk from those addressed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 during the six months ended December 31, 2021. See the information set forth in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), with the assistance of other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Consistent with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission that an assessment of internal controls over financial reporting of a recently acquired business may be omitted from management's evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, management is excluding an assessment of such internal controls of Proven Brands, Inc. (and its subsidiary That's How We Roll LLC) and KTB Foods Inc. (collectively doing business as "That's How We Roll" ("THWR")) from its evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. The Company acquired all outstanding stock of THWR on December 28, 2021. THWR represented approximately 10% of the Company's consolidated total assets at December 31, 2021. THWR's net sales included in our consolidated results for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 were not material. Based on this review, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2021.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect every misstatement. An evaluation of effectiveness is subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may decrease over time.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2021 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting except that, as reported above, on December 28, 2021, the Company acquired all outstanding stock of THWR. As a result, the Company is currently integrating THWR’s operations into its overall system of internal control over financial reporting and, if necessary, will make appropriate changes as it integrates THWR into the Company's overall internal control over financial reporting process.
