Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. Reports Strong Operating Results in the Second Quarter 2023; Net Income More Than Doubles, Gross Profit and Margin Increase
Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. (NYSE:FDP), ("Fresh Del Monte" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
"We are pleased with our performance for the second quarter as net income more than doubled and gross profit and gross margin increased substantially when compared with the prior-year period – all while continuing to reduce our debt," said Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh, Fresh Del Monte's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our strategic efforts led by asset optimization, strategic partnerships, and product innovation continue to guide our decision-making process, which is beginning to reflect in our financial results."
Financial highlights for the second quarter 2023:
Net sales for the second quarter of 2023 were $1,180.5 million compared with $1,211.9 million in the prior-year period. The net sales variance was primarily driven by the fresh and value-added products segment, specifically lower per unit pricing of avocados due to market conditions, and lower sales volume of non-tropical fruit. Net sales were partially offset by higher net sales in our banana segment, driven by both per unit pricing and volume.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2023 was $116.8 million compared with $80.7 million in the prior-year period, an increase of 45%. Gross profit benefited from lower product and distribution costs in the fresh and value-added products segment combined with higher banana profitability.
Operating income for the second quarter of 2023 was $72.1 million compared with $34.3 million in the prior-year period and Adjusted operating income(2) was $67.9 million compared with $33.4 million in the prior-year period. The increase in operating income was due to higher gross profit and the gain on sale of our plastics business and other underutilized assets in South and Central America. Adjusted operating income excludes these asset sale gains, as well as $4.6 million of asset impairment and other charges related to impairments of grape vines in South America due to low productivity, idle land in Central America, and incremental expenses associated with the cybersecurity incident in early 2023. In the prior-year period, Adjusted operating income excludes asset impairment and other charges of $0.7 million and a $1.6 million gain on sale of assets.
Other expense, net for the second quarter of 2023 was $6.4 million compared with $2.6 million in the prior-year period. The increase principally resulted from higher foreign currency related losses, primarily related to unrealized losses on balance sheet remeasurement.
FDP net income(1) for the second quarter of 2023 was $47.7 million compared with $21.2 million in the prior-year period and Adjusted FDP net income(2) was $46.2 million compared with $20.7 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted FDP net income for the second quarter of 2023 excludes the abovementioned asset impairment and other charges, gain on sale of assets, as well as a $2.7 million tax effect related to all adjustments. In the prior-year period, Adjusted FDP net income excludes the abovementioned asset impairment and other charges, gain on sale of assets and tax effect related to all adjustments.

Second Quarter 2023 Business Segment Performance
Fresh and Value-Added Products
Net sales for the second quarter of 2023 were $677.6 million compared with $732.4 million in the prior-year period, primarily as a result of lower per unit pricing of avocados due to market conditions, combined with lower sales volumes of non-tropical fruit. Partially offsetting the decrease were higher net sales of fresh-cut fruit, pineapples, vegetables, and melons due to higher per unit selling prices and higher avocados sales volume.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2023 was $62.1 million compared with $49.4 million in the prior-year period, an increase of 26%. The increase in gross profit was positively impacted by higher per unit selling prices for most products in the segment and lower distribution and ocean freight costs. Additionally, higher gross profit of avocados, due to lower per unit product cost, and higher demand of our Honeyglow® and Pinkglow® pineapple varieties, positively impacted gross profit. Partially offsetting the increase were higher production and procurement costs of most products which continue to be impacted by lingering inflationary pressures as well as the foreign exchange impact of a stronger Costa Rican colon. As a result of these factors, gross margin increased to 9.2% compared with 6.7% in the prior-year period.
Banana
Net sales for the second quarter of 2023 were $448.8 million compared with $421.6 million in the prior-year period, primarily as a result of higher per unit selling prices in Europe and North America and higher sales volume in Asia, Europe and North America.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2023 was $50.5 million compared with $22.2 million in the prior-year period, an increase of 127%. The increase in gross profit was impacted by higher net sales and lower distribution and ocean freight costs partially offset by higher production and procurement costs due to the continuing impact of inflation combined with the foreign exchange impact of a stronger Costa Rican colon. As a result of these factors, gross margin more than doubled to 11.3% compared with 5.3% in the prior-year period.
Other Products and Services
Net sales for the second quarter of 2023 were $54.1 million compared with $57.9 million in the prior-year period as a result of lower net sales of third-party freight services due to softened global demand.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2023 was $4.2 million compared with $9.1 million in the prior-year period as a result of lower third-party freight services net sales. Gross margin was 7.8% compared with 15.6% in the prior-year period.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2023 was $132.7 million compared with $95.1 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily attributable to working capital fluctuations, mainly related to lower levels of raw materials and packaging supplies inventory, combined with higher net income.
Total Long Term Debt
Total long-term debt decreased to $400.5 million at the end of the second quarter of 2023 from $472.7 million at the end of the first quarter of 2023.
Quarterly Cash Dividend
On August 1, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share, payable on September 8, 2023 to shareholders of record on August 16, 2023.

Non-GAAP Measures
The Company's results are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain information presented in this press release reflects adjustments to GAAP measures such as amounts related to asset impairment and other charges, net, gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and subsidiary, and other product-related charges. These adjustments result in non-GAAP financial measures and are referred to in this press release as Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted FDP net income, and Adjusted diluted EPS. Management believes these adjustments provide a more comparable analysis of the underlying operating performance of the business.
This press release also includes non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, and Adjusted EBITDA margin. EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. excluding interest expense, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA with additional adjustments for non-recurring items. EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of net sales, and Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.
Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted FDP net income, and Adjusted EBITDA provide the Company with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of its business. The Company uses these metrics because management believes they provide more comparable measures to evaluate period-over-period operating performance since they exclude special items that are not indicative of the Company's core business or operations. These measures may be useful to an investor in evaluating the underlying operating performance of the Company's business because these measures:
- Are used by investors to measure a company's comparable operating performance;
- Are financial measurements that are used by lenders and other parties to evaluate creditworthiness; and

Other product-related charges for the six months ended June 30, 2023 of $1.8 million consisted of inventory write-offs which were primarily related to the sale of two distribution centers in the Middle East. |
|
|

Asset impairment and other charges, net for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 primarily consisted of impairment charges related to low productivity grape vines in South America and idle land in Central America. In addition, the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 also included expenses incurred in connection with a cybersecurity incident which occurred during early 2023. The incident temporarily impacted certain of the Company's operational and information technology systems, and resulted in incremental costs primarily related to the engagement of specialized legal counsel and other incident response advisors. The Company's critical operational data and business systems were promptly recovered and accordingly, the incident did not have a material impact on the Company's financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and is not expected to have a material impact on future quarters. Asset impairment and other charges, net for the quarter ended July 1, 2022 primarily consisted of severance expenses due to the exit from a European facility. For the six months ended July 1, 2022, asset impairment and other charges, net also included severance expense in connection with the departure of the Company's former President and Chief Operating Officer. |

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and subsidiary also included a $20.5 million gain on the sale of two distribution centers and related assets in the Middle East and a $7.0 million gain on the sale of an idle facility in North America. Gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and subsidiary for the quarter and six months ended July 1, 2022 primarily related to a gain on the sale of vacant land in Mexico. |
|
|
(4) |
Other adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily related to the portions of the gain on disposal of property, plant, and equipment, net and other product-related charges which were attributable to a minority interest partner, reflected in net income (loss) attributable to redeemable and noncontrolling interests. |

Tax effects are calculated in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, using the same methodology as the GAAP provision of income taxes. Income tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments are calculated based on the applicable statutory tax rate for each jurisdiction in which such adjustments were incurred, except for those items which are non-taxable for which the tax provision was calculated at 0%. Certain non-GAAP adjustments were subject to valuation allowances and therefore were calculated at 0%. |
