Dave & Buster’s Entertainment Inc. dropped 17.3% to $20 after the entertainment and dining company reported a 72% drop in profit in the fiscal second quarter ending on August 5.

Consolidated revenue inched up to $557.4 million from $557.1 million, net income plunged to $11.4 million from $40.3 million, and diluted earnings per share fell to 32 cents from 99 cents a year ago.

Comparable store sales decreased 3.0%.

During the second quarter, the company opened three new Dave & Buster's stores.

The company’s same-store sales quarter-to-date trends in the fiscal third quarter are consistent with where they were exiting the second quarter.

The company plans to open at least five additional international franchise stores in the next six months.

CEO Tarun Lal emphasized a renewed focus on guest experience, innovation, and long-term sales and cash flow growth.

Hain Celestial Group, Inc., fell 1.9% to $1.59 after the health and wellness consumer goods company reported more than a ninety-fold jump in net loss in the fourth quarter ended on June 30.

The company is in the middle of streamlining its portfolio of organic personal care products and natural foods, and the latest quarterly results were hit by a one-time charge. 

Consolidated revenue inched lower to $363.3 million from $418.8 million, net loss expanded to $272.6 million from $2.9 million, and diluted losses per share advanced to $3.06 from $0.03 a year ago.

Adjusted EBITDA fell to $114 million from $155 million, while free cash flow turned negative to $3 million compared to $83 million in the prior year. 

The company recorded pre-tax impairment charges of $496 million, primarily related to goodwill and intangible assets. Net debt decreased to $650 million from $690 million.

"We are taking decisive action to optimize cash, deleverage our balance sheet, stabilize sales, and improve profitability as we recognize our performance has not met expectations,” said Alison Lewis, Interim President and CEO.
