Brendan Byrnes: Now, Hain Celestial has been recommended by our Stock Advisor service, along with Supernova, so we have a lot of investors, I think, that are invested in Hain Celestial. What are some things that they need to watch in 2013? Maybe some milestones or big events coming up?

Irwin Simon: So I think, coming back to 2013, No. 1 is just our growth and our distribution and our products. We introduced a lot of new products. We introduce worldwide over $80 million a year in new products. We have a big natural-foods show in Anaheim in March, when there are just a lot of new products in, so that’s No. 1.

No. 2 is we’ve done some great acquisitions in the U.K. We’re just overlapping a year today of owning [Daniels Group] and great growth on New Covent Garden soups, Johnson’s Juice, Farmhouse Fare. At the end of October, we closed on the Premier Foods deal and are really getting a lot of new products, new distribution over there and getting some scale in the U.K.

Our European group will expand upon our soup business, our New Convent Garden, and some of the Premier. So that’s what we’re looking forward to in the U.K. 

Byrnes: You sound like a busy man.

Simon: Europe, and the U.S., so let’s just come back from the U.S. Expansion here continues with our Greek Gods yogurt growth. We’re introducing our kefir product, which we’re pretty excited about that. We’ve got a
