Hain, the maker of Celestial Seasonings teas and Health Valley soups, also said it acquired premium baby food maker Ella's Kitchen Group Ltd for an undisclosed amount.
Hain reported net income of $40.7 million, or 85 cents per share, in the fiscal third quarter, ended on March 31, up from $24.1 million, or 52 cents per share, a year earlier.
Net sales rose to $456.1 million. That compared with analysts' average estimate of $480.8 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Hain said the acquisition of Ella's Kitchen, which operates largely in the United States, Britain and Scandinavia, should lift its earnings by 5 cents to 8 cents per share in fiscal 2014.
Shares fell to $63 in after-hours trade, from their close at $65.50 on the Nasdaq.
