Fourth-quarter net sales fell 13 percent year-on-year to US$363.3 million, missing analyst projections of US $371.46 million. Organic net sales decreased 11 percent due to volume and mix declines. Results included US $252 million in pre-tax non-cash impairment charges.

In North America, quarterly sales fell 21 percent to $206 million, with organic sales down 14 percent driven by declines in snacks and meal prep. Gross margin narrowed to 19.2 percent from 22.6 percent. Adjusted EBITDA dropped to US $10 million from US $21 million.  

International sales were nearly flat at US $158 million, although organic sales fell 6 percent on weakness in meal prep and beverages. Gross margin declined to 22.1 percent from 24.8 percent, with adjusted EBITDA down to US $21 million from US $27 million. 

By product category, snacks fell 23 percent, baby and kids dropped 7 percent, beverages were flat, meal prep fell 6 percent, and personal care plunged 49 percent due to planned exits. 

For the full fiscal year, net sales fell 10 percent to US $1.56 billion, with organic sales down 7 percent. The company reported a net loss of $531 million, or $5.89 per share, compared with a loss of US $75 million, or US $0.84 per share, the previous year.
