• Total revenue of $450.0 million, with avocado volume growth of 38% compared to the same period last year
• Net loss attributable to Mission Produce of $6.5 million, or $(0.08) per diluted share, which includes Calavo acquisition-related costs of $25.4 million on a pre-tax basis, compared to income of $14.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the same period last year
• Adjusted net income was $15.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, as compared to $18.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the same period last year

CEO Message

John Pawlowski, President and CEO of Mission, stated, “Our third-quarter results demonstrate the strength of our business and the team’s continued focus on operational execution. Performance benefited from solid results in Marketing & Distribution, stronger-than-forecast contributions from International Farming, and encouraging results from Calavo. We are also seeing the benefits of our commercial execution, with meaningful year-to-date U.S. retail market share growth for the legacy Mission business, reflecting our ability to reliably support customer programs through dynamic supply conditions.

“Our early work with Calavo has reinforced our confidence in the strategic and financial merits of the combination. Based on higher-than-anticipated SG&A savings and network efficiencies, we are raising our estimated annualized synergy opportunity to more than $30 million. There is meaningful work ahead, and our priority is to execute the integration thoughtfully, making the right changes in the right sequence while maintaining business continuity and delivering dependable service to our customers.

“Looking ahead, our priorities remain straightforward: extend our marketplace momentum, execute consistently across our global network, integrate Calavo thoughtfully, and translate our expanded scale into stronger earnings and returns. We believe the progress made this quarter provides a strong platform for Mission’s next phase of growth, which we’ll discuss further at Investor Day in October.”

Fiscal Third Quarter 2026 Consolidated Financial Review

Total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 26% to $450.0 million compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by an increase in avocado volume sold of 38%, partially offset by a decrease in per-unit avocado sales prices of 9%. Volume increased from the integration of the acquired Calavo operation as well as the impact of increased Mexican avocado supply due to higher yields in the current year.

Gross profit was $44.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $45.1 million in the prior year, while gross margin decreased 270 basis points compared to the same period last year, to 9.9% of revenue. International Farming segment gross profit decreased due to lower average sales prices attributed to higher global supply of avocados in the current year. Marketing and Distribution segment gross profit was higher due to the inclusion of Calavo’s post-acquisition results, which were reduced by the impact of purchase accounting adjustments. Blueberries segment gross profit improvement was driven by the one-time impact of IEEPA tariff refunds in the current year.

Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) (which does not include transaction advisory and integration costs) increased for the third quarter driven by the inclusion of expense and purchase accounting adjustments from the acquired Calavo operation.  Transaction advisory and integration costs were $12.6 million for the third quarter this year and were comprised primarily of third-party investment banking, integration and legal costs as well as severance/retention associated with the Calavo acquisition, which was completed on May 28, 2026.

Net loss attributable to Mission Produce for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $(6.5) million, or $(0.08) per diluted share, and includes Calavo acquisition-related pre-tax costs of $25.4 million. This compares to income of $14.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the same period last year. 

Adjusted net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $15.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, as compared to $18.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA was $32.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, as compared to $32.6 million in the prior year period.

Fiscal Third Quarter Business Segment Performance

Marketing & Distribution

Total segment sales in the Marketing & Distribution segment were $414.3 million, compared to $344.1 million for the same period last year, due to an increase in avocado volume sold of 38%, partially offset by a decrease in per-unit avocado sales prices of 9%. Volume increased from the integration of the acquired Calavo operation as well as the impact of increased Mexican avocado supply due to higher yields in the current year.

Segment operating income, which included the impact of Calavo acquisition-related costs, was $1.1 million in the three months ended July 31, 2026, compared to $14.5 million for the same period last year. Segment adjusted EBITDA, which excludes acquisition-related costs, was $24.7 million, compared to $20.0 million in the same period last year. Growth in adjusted EBITDA was driven by higher gross margin attributed primarily to the inclusion of Calavo’s post-acquisition results. 

Prepared Foods

Total segment sales in the Prepared Foods segment were $15.5 million and segment operating loss was $4.1 million for the three months ended July 31, 2026. Segment operating loss included the impact of amortization of inventory adjustments recognized in the business combination. Segment adjusted EBITDA, which excludes acquisition related costs, was $0.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2026.

International Farming

The vast majority of fruit sales from the International Farming segment are made to the Marketing & Distribution segment, with the remainder of revenue largely derived from direct sales of fruit to third parties, as well as services provided to third-parties and the Blueberries segment. Affiliated sales are concentrated in the second half of the fiscal year in alignment with the Peruvian avocado harvest season, which typically runs from April through September of each year. As a result, operating income and segment adjusted EBITDA for the International Farming segment is generally concentrated in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year.

Total segment sales in the International Farming segment were $45.8 million, compared to $49.0 million for the same period last year. Segment operating income was $1.1 million in the three months ended July 31, 2026, compared to $6.7 million in the same period last year. Segment adjusted EBITDA was $7.6 million, compared to $12.1 million in the same period last year. These results were impacted by lower average sales prices attributed to higher global supply of avocados in the current year.

Blueberries

Sales in the Blueberries segment have traditionally been concentrated in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year in alignment with the Peruvian blueberry harvest season.

Total segment sales in the Blueberries segment were $5.4 million for the third quarter, compared to $4.5 million for the same period last year. Segment operating income was $2.4 million for the third quarter compared to $0.2 million loss in the same period last year. Third quarter 2026 segment sales and operating income growth were driven primarily by IEEPA tariff refunds.  Segment adjusted EBITDA was -$0.1 million, compared to $0.5 million in same period last year, driven primarily by decreases in volume sold related to harvest timing and lower per-unit sales prices.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Cash and cash equivalents were $47.1 million as of July 31, 2026, compared to $64.8 million as of October 31, 2025.

The Company’s operating cash flows are seasonal in nature and can be temporarily influenced by working capital shifts resulting from varying payment terms to growers in different source regions. In addition, the Company is building inventory in its International Farming segment during the first half of the year for ultimate harvest and sale that will occur during the second half of the fiscal year. While these increases in working capital can cause operating cash flows to be unfavorable in individual quarters, it is not indicative of operating cash performance expected to be realized for the full year.

Net cash used by operating activities was $25.9 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2026, as compared to cash provided of $21.4 million in the same period last year. The reduction in cash from operating activities was due to a combination of lower income including $26.0 million of transaction advisory and integration costs associated with the Calavo acquisition, as well as larger increases in working capital. Working capital growth in the current year is driven by increases in inventory and trade/other receivables, partially offset by grower payables, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Inventory growth is driven primarily by higher growing crop inventory in our International Farming and Blueberries segments resulting from higher crop yields and timing of harvest, while trade/other receivables were associated with seasonality, pricing and timing of sales in the Marketing & Distribution and Blueberries segments and the timing of value-added tax refunds. Grower payables provided favorable impact due to higher avocado volumes and shift in supply mix toward origins with longer payment terms, while accounts payable and accrued expenses were favorably impacted by higher avocado volumes and timing of growing crop inventory associated with larger and later harvest.

Capital expenditures were $32.0 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2026 compared to $39.8 million for the same period last year. Capital expenditures during the current year were comprised primarily of pre-production orchard maintenance and land improvements in Guatemala, land development and blueberry plant cultivation in Peru and construction costs associated with increasing capacity in the Company’s Mexican packing operations.

Acquisition of Calavo Growers, Inc.

On May 28, 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of Calavo Growers, Inc. (“Calavo”). Calavo is a leading provider of fresh avocados, tomatoes, papayas, and value-added prepared foods, including a variety of ready-to-eat products such as guacamole and salsas. Its products are sold under the Calavo brand name, proprietary sub-brands, as well as private labels and store brands. The transaction enhances Mission’s position in the North American avocado category with expanded supply reliability across North America. The transaction also represents Mission’s entry into the high-growth and attractive prepared food sector, while providing a significant opportunity for value creation through cost synergies and SG&A savings.

In the transaction, Mission issued 17,530,762 shares of its common stock and paid approximately $267 million in cash.

Outlook

For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company is providing the following industry outlook that will drive performance:

• Avocado industry volumes in the fiscal 2026 fourth quarter are expected to increase by approximately 10% versus the prior year period. Exportable avocado production from Mission’s owned farms in Peru is expected to range between 120 million to 130 million pounds (as compared to 105 million pounds in the fiscal 2025 harvest season), of which approximately 53 million pounds were sold through as of the end of the fiscal third quarter.
• Pricing is expected to be lower on a year-over-year basis by approximately 10% compared to the $1.39 per pound average experienced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in pricing is directly correlated with expectations of higher volumes available in U.S. and international markets.
  
  

In connection with the recently completed acquisition of Calavo, the Company is providing select guidance to assist investors in their analysis of the transaction. This disclosure is intended to support evaluation of the acquisition and should not be viewed as establishing an ongoing guidance practice.

• The Company is reaffirming its fiscal second-half 2026 Adjusted EBITDA outlook of $84 million to $88 million. Based on third-quarter results, it expects fourth-quarter Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $52 million to $55 million, including a full quarter of Calavo, and supported by the later timing of sales from its Peru avocado harvest, increased blueberry volumes, and improved avocado margin dynamics.
• For full year fiscal 2026, total capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $45 million, including planned expenditures related to the legacy Calavo business.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains the non-GAAP financial measures “adjusted net income” and “adjusted EBITDA.”  Management believes these measures provide useful information for analyzing the underlying business results. These measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for or superior to, the comparable financial measures by generally accepted accounting principles.

Adjusted net income (loss) refers to net income (loss) attributable to Mission Produce, before stock-based compensation expense, unrealized gain (loss) on derivative financial instruments, foreign currency gain (loss), farming costs for nonproductive orchards (which represents land lease costs), recognition of deferred ERP costs, transaction advisory and integration costs, amortization of inventory adjustments and intangible asset recognized from business combinations, further adjusted by any special, non-recurring, or one-time items such as remeasurement, impairment or discrete tax charges that are distortive to results, and tax effects of these items, if any, and the tax-effected impact of these non-GAAP adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interest, allocable to the noncontrolling owners based on their percentage of ownership interest.

Adjusted EBITDA refers to net income (loss), before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, other income (expense), and income (loss) from equity method investees, further adjusted by asset impairment and disposals, farming costs for nonproductive orchards (which represents land lease costs), recognition of deferred ERP costs, transaction advisory costs, and any special, non-recurring, or one-time items such as remeasurements or impairments, and any portion of these items attributable to the noncontrolling interest. Segment adjusted EBITDA refers to, with respect to the applicable segment, net income (loss), before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, other income (expense), and income (loss) from equity method investees, further adjusted by asset impairment and disposals, farming costs for nonproductive orchards (which represents land lease costs), recognition of deferred ERP costs, transaction advisory and integration costs, amortization of inventory adjustments recognized from business combinations, and any special, non-recurring, or one-time items such as remeasurements or impairments, and any portion of these items attributable to the noncontrolling interest. The Company is not reasonably able to reconcile its outlook for Adjusted EBITDA to net income or loss because information on the anticipated stock based compensation, the impact of derivative financial instruments and foreign currency, transaction and integration costs and other matters is unavailable, which could cause its calculation of this non-GAAP metric and its GAAP results to be lower.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure are provided in the appendices to this press release.

^{(1)   Costs related to blueberry orchards were $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $0.8 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Costs related to avocado orchards were $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
(2)   Includes accelerated depreciation of fixed assets, accelerated amortization of operating lease right-of-use assets and severance costs incurred, recognized in cost of sales.
(3)   For the nine months ended July 31, 2025, amount represents tariff charges levied on USMCA-compliant goods imported from Mexico for the three-day period from March 4th to March 6th, 2025. The extremely short-term nature of the charges prevented the Company from effectively passing the charges in both pricing to customers and prices paid for goods from suppliers. USMCA-compliant goods have subsequently been exempted from tariff charges on U.S. imports. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026, amount represents actual and estimated refunds of IEEPA tariffs that were paid in the prior year that are primarily related to our Blueberries operation.
