Mission Produce® Announces Fiscal 2025 Second Quarter Financial Results
Achieved record fiscal second quarter revenue driven by the Marketing & Distribution segment
OXNARD, Calif. -- June 5, 2025 -- (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Mission Produce, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVO) (“Mission” or “the Company”) a world leader in sourcing, producing, and distributing fresh Hass avocados, today reported its financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended April 30, 2025.
Fiscal Second Quarter 2025 Financial Overview:
•Total revenue increased 28% to $380.3 million compared to the same period last year
•Net income of $3.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to $7.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the same period last year
•Adjusted net income of $8.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $9.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the same period last year
•Adjusted EBITDA of $19.1 million, compared to $20.2 million in the same period last year
•Repurchased $5.2 million of the Company’s common stock during the quarter
CEO Message
Steve Barnard, CEO of Mission, stated, "We delivered record second quarter revenue and stronger than expected adjusted EBITDA performance. Our commercial teams successfully navigated typical seasonal supply challenges by leveraging our industry-leading global source network to satisfy customer commitments. While market pricing remained elevated during the second quarter and surpassed our expectation, distributed volumes were flat with the prior year period which speaks to the durability of consumption and the growing consistency of the category at retail. We are also pleased with the progression of key strategic priorities to enhance our position with customers, both in terms of products and global markets. Our mango business gained significant market share and achieved record volumes, establishing Mission as a leading U.S. distributor, while our operations in the United Kingdom are steadily gaining momentum through enhanced customer penetration which has optimized facility utilization following the strategic investment in the region. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, we are well-positioned to generate solid cash flow as we typically do through leveraging our own increased Peruvian supply to meet strong market demand."
Mr. Barnard concluded, “During the quarter, we also executed $5.2 million of share repurchases, capitalizing on an opportunity to return value to shareholders given our belief that the share price was undervalued relative to our demonstrated strength in operational execution and financial performance in the prior fiscal year and first half of 2025. Given the strength of our balance sheet, we will continue to review our ability to opportunistically repurchase shares while balancing competing strategic priorities.”
Fiscal Second Quarter 2025 Consolidated Financial Review
Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 increased $82.7 million or 28% to $380.3 million compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by the Marketing & Distribution segment, where average per-unit avocado selling prices increased 26% while volumes sold were flat. Consumer demand outpaced supply, driving higher per-unit pricing as volume was limited by continuing constraints on Mexican fruit availability.
Gross profit decreased $2.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 to $28.4 million, compared to the same period last year and gross profit percentage decreased 290 basis points, to 7.5% of revenue. Gross profit percentage will fluctuate based upon per-unit sales price levels in relation to per-unit costs, as profitability is primarily managed on a per-unit basis. The decreases were driven by the Marketing & Distribution segment, which was impacted by lower per-unit margins on avocados sold due to challenges in obtaining Mexican supply required to meet customer commitments. In addition, the Marketing & Distribution segment incurred $1.5 million of costs associated with the closure of Canadian facilities and $1.1 million in tariffs levied on USMCA-compliant goods imported from Mexico for the three days they were in effect during March 2025. The fluidity of the short-lived tariff charges prevented the Company from immediately passing through those expenses; subsequently, USMCA-compliant goods were exempted and
EXHIBIT 99.1
additional adjustments are not expected in the future at this time. Gross profit at the International Farming segment increased due to higher pricing and yield from owned mango orchards as well as higher volume of blueberry packing and cooling services.
Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) for the second quarter increased $2.8 million or 15% to $21.5 million, compared to the same period last year primarily due to higher employee related costs, inclusive of performance-based stock compensation expense, as well as higher professional fees, inclusive of fees for external legal counsel associated with outstanding legal proceedings.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $3.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to $7.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the same period last year.
Adjusted net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $8.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $9.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the same period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $19.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, a decrease of $1.1 million or 5% as compared to $20.2 million in the prior year period, driven primarily by lower per-unit gross margins on avocados sold.
Fiscal Second Quarter Business Segment Performance
Marketing & Distribution
Net sales in the Marketing & Distribution segment increased $75.4 million or 26% to $362.5 million for the second quarter, driven by increases in avocado pricing as described above.
Segment adjusted EBITDA was $16.8 million compared to $21.7 million for the same period last year, primarily due to lower per-unit gross margin on avocados sold and higher SG&A expenses, as described above.
International Farming
The vast majority of fruit sales from our International Farming segment are made to the Marketing & Distribution segment, with the remainder of revenue largely derived from services provided to third parties and our 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, adjusted EBITDA for the International Farming segment is generally concentrated in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year in alignment with the timing of sales. In addition, the Company operates approximately 700 acres of mangos in Peru. The timing of the mango harvest is generally concentrated in the fiscal second quarter.
Total sales in the International Farming segment for the second quarter increased $6.7 million or 479% to $8.1 million, compared to $1.4 million for the same period last year and segment adjusted EBITDA increased $3.7 million to $1.5 million compared to negative $2.2 million for the same period last year. The increases were driven by higher pricing and yield from owned mango orchards as well as higher volume of blueberry packing and cooling services.
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.
Net sales in the Blueberries segment increased 57% to $15.7 million for the second quarter, compared to $10.0 million for the same period last year, primarily due to higher volume driven by increased total acreage and higher yields from owned farms.
Segment adjusted EBITDA was flat for the three months ended April 30, 2025 compared to the same period last year as the volume growth offset the lower per-unit margin.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Cash and cash equivalents were $36.7 million as of April 30, 2025, compared to $58.0 million as of October 31, 2024.
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 its growing crops 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 in operating activities was $13.0 million for the six months ended April 30, 2025, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $12.9 million for the same period last year, primarily driven by growth in working capital. The increase in working capital in the current year is driven by the higher avocado price environment which has increased receivable balances in our
EXHIBIT 99.1
Marketing & Distribution segment, while increased acreage and harvest timing has resulted in higher inventory balances in the International Farming segment.
Capital expenditures were $28.0 million for the six months ended April 30, 2025 compared to $17.7 million last year. Capital expenditures were comprised primarily of pre-production orchard maintenance, land improvements and packhouse construction in Guatemala and pre-production land development and blueberry plant cultivation in Peru.
Outlook
For the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company is providing the following industry outlooks that will drive performance:
•Industry volumes are expected to be approximately 10-15% higher in the fiscal 2025 third quarter versus the prior year period, primarily due to a strong Peruvian harvest outlook. Expectations for exportable avocado production from Mission’s owned farms in Peru is expected to range between 100 million to 110 million pounds (as compared to 43 million pounds in the 2024 harvest season, which was negatively impacted by weather-related events). The Company anticipates that sales of its owned production will be weighted to its fiscal fourth quarter.
•Pricing is expected to be lower on a year-over-year basis by approximately 10-15% as compared to the $1.84 per pound average experienced in third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in pricing is directly correlated with expectations of higher volumes available in U.S. and international markets.
•For fiscal 2025, total capital expenditures are expected to remain in the range of $50 to $55 million.

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 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 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. Effective for the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company made a change in presentation of its reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to its comparable GAAP financial measure to include a subtotal of the non-GAAP adjustments before the effect of the noncontrolling interest adjustment called “adjusted EBITDA before adjustment for noncontrolling interest.” The presentation change has no impact to total adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes the addition of the subtotal within the reconciliation is useful because it better aligns with management’s sequence of review of the information in the reconciliation.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure are provided in the table at the end of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure This document contains the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted EBITDA.” Management believes this measure provides useful information for analyzing the underlying business results. This measure is not in accordance with, nor is it a substitute for or superior to, the comparable financial measure by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). 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 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. Effective for the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company made a change in presentation of its reconciliation of segment adjusted EBITDA to its comparable GAAP financial measure to include a subtotal of the non-GAAP adjustments before the effect of the noncontrolling interest adjustment called “adjusted EBITDA before adjustment for noncontrolling interest.” The presentation change has no impact to total adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes the addition of the subtotal within the reconciliation is useful because it better aligns with management’s sequence of review of the information in the reconciliation.

Industry Information Market data and industry information used throughout this presentation are based on management's knowledge of the industry and the good faith estimates of management. We also relied, to the extent available, upon management's review of independent industry surveys and publications and other publicly available information prepared by a number of third-party sources. All of the market data and industry information used in this presentation involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. Although we believe that these sources are reliable, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information, and we have not independently verified this information. While we believe the estimated market position, market opportunity and market size information included in this presentation are generally reliable, such information, which is derived in part from management's estimates and beliefs, is inherently uncertain and imprecise. Projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described above. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in our estimates and beliefs and in the estimates prepared by independent parties. Non-GAAP Financial Measure This presentation contains the non-GAAP financial measure “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 (“GAAP”). Reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP measure s included in the Appendix to this presentation where possible. The Company is unable to reconcile certain forecasted non-GAAP financial measures used herein, including adjusted EBITDA, without unreasonable efforts because a forecast of certain items, including taxes, interest, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, income (loss) from equity method investees, other income, and other special, non-recurring or one-time items is not practical. 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 costs, material legal settlements, 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. Effective for the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company made a change in presentation of its reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to its comparable GAAP financial measure to include a subtotal of the non-GAAP adjustments before the effect of the noncontrolling interest adjustment called “adjusted EBITDA before adjustment for noncontrolling interest.” The presentation change has no impact to total adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes the addition of the subtotal within the reconciliation is useful because it better aligns with management’s sequence of review of the information in the reconciliation.
