Excluding currency exchange, second-quarter sales were up 11% thanks to an increase in revenue from its overseas and protein divisions of 12% and 21% on a constant-currency basis. The results were partially offset by a 4.7% drop in US sales during the three-month period.

Operating income stood at $87.7m, versus $74m a year ago. Adjusted for factors including M&A, restructuring and integration charges, second-quarter adjusted operating income reached $92.9m, against $87.4m a year earlier.

Adjusted operating margins dipped, falling from 12.5% to 12.3% a year ago. However, Hain Celestial did see this margin metric improve quarter on quarter. In the first three months of the year, its adjusted operating margin was 9.1%.

Net income increased to $56.9m in the quarter compared to $44.5m last year. For the half, net earnings increased to $88.2m versus $63.4m.
