Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. Reports Third Quarter Earnings for Fiscal 2025
Agreement to Divest Mann Packing to Enhance Margin Profile
Strategic Focus Drives Gross Margin Expansion in Fresh and Value-added Products Segment
Exit of Underperforming Banana Farms Supports Long-Term Productivity and Operational Resilience
Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. (NYSE:FDP), ("Fresh Del Monte" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 26, 2025.
"We delivered another quarter of strategic progress, with overall net sales slightly higher and gross margin expanding in our fresh and value-added products segment. These results reflect the strength of our execution and our disciplined focus on higher-margin, value-added categories that continue to drive profitable growth," said Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh, Fresh Del Monte's Chairman and CEO. "At the same time, we took decisive actions to optimize our portfolio and drive long-term profitability by exiting underperforming banana operations in the Philippines and divesting Mann Packing. These strategic moves simplify our operations, sharpen our focus on higher-margin, higher-growth categories, and position us to deliver stronger earnings and sustained value for our shareholders."
Financial highlights for the third quarter 2025:
The Company entered into an agreement to divest its Mann Packing Inc. business operations ("Mann Packing"), with the transaction expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
Net sales for the third quarter of 2025 were $1,021.9 million. The increase reflects higher net sales in the Company's banana and other products and services business segments, primarily driven by higher per-unit selling prices in the Company's banana segment. Contributing factors included the impact of tariff-related price adjustments in North America and the favorable impact of fluctuations in exchange rates related to the Euro. The increase was partially offset by lower sales volume in the fresh-cut vegetable product line due to strategic operational reductions taken during the fourth quarter of 2024, including the sale of certain assets of Fresh Leaf Farms.
On an Adjusted basis, net sales(1) excluding the impact of the planned divestiture of Mann Packing were $959.5 million.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2025 was $80.8 million. The decrease was primarily driven by higher per-unit production and procurement costs in the banana segment, along with increased distribution costs. Gross margin decreased to 7.9%.
Adjusted gross profit(1) for the third quarter of 2025 was $88.1 million. Adjusted gross profit primarily excludes the operating results of Mann Packing, which the Company plans to divest in the fourth quarter of 2025. Adjusted gross margin decreased to 9.2%.
Operating loss for the third quarter of 2025 was $21.8 million. The decrease was primarily driven by higher asset impairment and other charges, net, related to underperforming banana farms in the Philippines and the impairment charges associated with the planned divestiture of Mann Packing, and lower gross profit in the current period.
Adjusted operating income(1) for the third quarter of 2025 was $39.7 million. Adjusted operating income primarily excludes the operating losses associated with the Company's Mann Packing business, as well as the above-mentioned impairments and gains on the disposal of property, plant, and equipment.
FDP net loss(2) for the third quarter of 2025 was $29.1 million. Adjusted FDP net income(1) was $33.1 million. Adjusted FDP net income excludes the above-mentioned adjustments, and the tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments.

Third Quarter 2025 Business Segment Performance
Fresh and Value-Added Products
As previously announced, the Company entered into an agreement to divest Mann Packing, a component of its fresh and value-added products business segment.
Net sales for the third quarter of 2025 were $610.5 million. The decrease was primarily a result of lower per-unit selling prices in the Company's avocado product line, driven by increased industry supply, and lower net sales in its fresh-cut vegetable product line, resulting from strategic operational reductions implemented during the fourth quarter of 2024, including the sale of certain assets of Fresh Leaf Farms. The decrease was partially offset by higher sales volume and per-unit selling prices in the Company's fresh-cut fruit product line, increased per-unit selling prices in its pineapple product line, and tariff-related price adjustments in North America.
On an Adjusted basis, net sales(1) excluding the impact of the planned divestiture of Mann Packing were $548.1 million.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2025 was $68.3 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher per-unit selling prices in the pineapple and fresh-cut fruit product lines, partially offset by lower net sales. Gross margin increased to 11.2%.
Adjusted gross profit(1) for the third quarter of 2025 was $76.0 million. Adjusted gross profit primarily excludes the operating results of Mann Packing, which the Company plans to divest in the fourth quarter of 2025. Adjusted gross margin increased to 13.9%.
Banana
Net sales for the third quarter of 2025 were $358.0 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher per-unit selling prices across all of the Company's regions, including the favorable impact of fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily related to the Euro, and tariff-related price adjustments in North America. Additionally, sales volume increased in the Middle East, reflecting a recovery from the prior-year shipment disruptions caused by the Red Sea conflict. The increase in net sales was partially offset by lower sales volume in Asia and North America due to weak market demand.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2025 was $4.6 million. The decrease was primarily driven by higher per-unit production and procurement costs due to adverse weather conditions in the Company's growing regions during the first half of 2025, increased distribution costs, and an allowance recorded on a receivable from an independent grower in Asia. Gross margin decreased to 1.3%.
Adjusted gross profit(1) for the third quarter of 2025 was $4.2 million. Adjusted gross profit excludes other product-related charges and credits. Adjusted gross margin decreased to 1.2%.
Other Products and Services
Net sales for the third quarter of 2025 were $53.4 million. The increase was primarily a result of higher net sales in the Company's third-party freight services business, partially offset by lower per-unit selling prices in the Company's poultry and meats business.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2025 was $7.9 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower net sales and higher production costs in the Company's poultry and meats business. Gross margin decreased to 14.8%.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2025 was $234.2 million. The increase was primarily attributable to working capital fluctuations, mainly due to lower levels of accounts receivables driven by the timing of collections, as well as reduced levels of finished goods inventory compared to the prior-year period. Partially offsetting these factors was a larger increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the prior-year period, mainly relating to the timing of period-end payments.
Long Term Debt
Long-term debt decreased to $173.0 million at the end of the third quarter of 2025.
Quarterly Cash Dividend
On October 28, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share, payable on December 5, 2025, to shareholders of record on November 12, 2025.
Share Repurchase Program
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased 201,514 shares of common stock for $7.2 million at an average price of $35.55 per share. As of September 26, 2025, $135.2 million remained available under the current plan.

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 that are referred to in this press release as "non-GAAP measures." Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide a more comparable analysis of the underlying operating performance of the business.
These non-GAAP measures include the following: Adjusted net sales, Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted FDP net income, Adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted net sales, Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted FDP net income and Adjusted diluted EPS each reflect adjustments relating to the planned divestiture of Mann Packing, asset impairment and other charges, net, gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and other product-related (credits) charges. 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 the planned divestiture of Mann Packing (excluding the impact of depreciation, amortization, asset impairment and other charges, net, gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and income taxes already included within the EBITDA calculation), asset impairment and other charges, net, gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net, and other product-related (credits) charges. EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of net sales, and Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Adjusted net sales.
These non-GAAP measures 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
- Are used by the Company's management for various purposes, including as measures of performance of its operating entities, as a basis of strategic planning and forecasting, and in certain cases as a basis for incentive compensation.
Because all companies do not use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial tables that accompany this release.
