Del Monte Foods Drives Growth in First Full Quarter of Ownership
Portfolio Actions Expected to Enhance Cost Structure and Improve Returns
Building Del Monte Corporation Across Fresh, Refrigerated, Shelf-Stable, and Prepared Foods
CORAL GABLES, Fla. - July 29, 2026 - Del Monte Corporation (NYSE: DMC) ("Del Monte" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 26, 2026. For the second quarter of 2026, the Company reported earnings per diluted share of $0.44, or on an Adjusted basis, earnings per diluted share(1) of $0.72.
“This quarter marked an important milestone in our evolution as we officially became Del Monte Corporation. Our new corporate name reflects far more than a rebrand—it represents the company we are building: one that is building on its leadership in fresh produce to create value across fresh, refrigerated, shelf-stable and prepared foods, while unlocking greater value from our agricultural platform,” said Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh, Del Monte Corporation Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We’re already seeing that evolution translate into results. Our Foods Division, created through the acquisition of the Del Monte Foods business, has demonstrated the strength of our strategy. In a remarkably short period of time, we stabilized a business facing significant financial and operational challenges, advanced our integration priorities, and established a strong foundation for future growth.”
Financial highlights for the second quarter of 2026:
The Company completed its divestiture of its Mann Packing Inc. business operations ("Mann Packing") during the fourth quarter of 2025. Accordingly, the following financial highlights also include adjusted basis results to reflect the impact of the divestiture.
Net sales for the second quarter of 2026 were $1,219.1 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher net sales in the prepared foods segment following the acquisition of Del Monte Foods in March 2026. The increase was partially offset by lower net sales in the fresh and value-added products segment, reflecting the divestiture of the Mann Packing business in the fourth quarter of 2025, lower banana sales volumes in North America and Asia.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 was $121.3 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher net sales, partially offset by higher per-unit production and procurement costs in the Company's banana and fresh and value-added products segments, higher ocean freight and distribution costs, and unfavorable foreign currency impacts, primarily related to the Costa Rican colon. Gross margin was 9.9%.
Operating income for the second quarter of 2026 was $33.5 million. The decrease was primarily driven by higher asset impairment and other charges, net, primarily related to actions taken in Costa Rica and acquisition-related expenses associated with Del Monte Foods, and higher selling, general, and administrative expenses. Adjusted operating income(1) was $48.7 million.
Del Monte Corporation net income(2) for the second quarter of 2026 was $21.2 million. Adjusted Del Monte Corporation net income(1) was $34.2 million.

Second Quarter 2026 Business Segment Performance
Following the acquisition of Del Monte Foods and the segment realignment implemented during the first quarter of 2026, the Company’s financial results are presented under four reportable segments: Fresh and Value-Added Products, Bananas, Prepared Foods, and Other Products and Services. Prior-period amounts have been recast to conform to the current segment presentation.
Fresh and Value-Added Products
Net sales for the second quarter of 2026 were $569.3 million. The decrease primarily reflected the divestiture of the Mann Packing business during the fourth quarter of 2025, lower per-unit selling prices of avocados due to industry-wide oversupply, and lower sales volume in the Company's deciduous product line due to reduced production.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 was $62.9 million. The decrease was primarily driven by lower net sales, higher per-unit production costs for pineapples and fresh-cut fruit, higher distribution costs, and unfavorable foreign currency impacts, primarily related to the Costa Rican colon and Mexican peso. These factors were partially offset by the absence of losses associated with the Mann Packing business, which was divested during the fourth quarter of 2025 and generated negative gross profit in the prior-year period. Gross margin was 11.0%.
Banana
Net sales for the second quarter of 2026 were $361.1 million. The decrease primarily reflected lower sales volume in North America due to weak market demand and in Asia due to lower supply. Sales volume in the Middle East was also lower due to supply constraints and geopolitical developments in the region.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 was $8.4 million. The decrease was primarily driven by lower net sales, higher per-unit production and procurement costs, and higher ocean freight and distribution costs. Gross margin was 2.3%.
Prepared Foods
Net sales for the second quarter of 2026 were $236.1 million. The increase was primarily driven by the acquisition of Del Monte Foods in March 2026 and was partially offset by lower sales in North America and the Middle East due to lower availability of fruit inputs, including pineapple, used in concentrate and canned pineapple.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 was $44.6 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher net sales following the acquisition of Del Monte Foods in March 2026, partially offset by higher per-unit production and distribution costs. Gross margin was 18.9%.
Other Products and Services
Net sales for the second quarter of 2026 were $52.6 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales in the Company's poultry and meats business due to higher production volumes.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 was $5.4 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher net sales. Gross margin was 10.3%.

Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2026 was $94.0 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower net income and changes in working capital, including a larger use of cash from trade receivables due to timing of period-end collections and the acquisition of Del Monte Foods. Inventory remained a source of cash, although the benefit was lower than in the prior-year period. The decrease was partially offset by higher non-cash items, including asset impairment charges.
Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt increased to $414.6 million at the end of the second quarter of 2026, compared with $173.0 million at the end of 2025, reflecting the Del Monte Foods acquisition.
Quarterly Cash Dividend
On July 28, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share, payable on September 4, 2026, to shareholders of record as of August 12, 2026.
Share Repurchase Program
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased 465,213 shares of common stock for $16.0 million at an average price of $34.40 per share. As of June 26, 2026, $100.2 million remained available under the current share repurchase program.

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 divestiture of Mann Packing, asset impairment and other charges, net, loss (gain) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and other product-related charges. EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Del Monte Corporation 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 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), sales claims arising from delays and disruptions to shipments passing through the Strait of Hormuz, asset impairment and other charges, net, gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net, and other product-related 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:
1.Are used by investors to measure a company's comparable operating performance;
2.Are financial measurements that are used by lenders and other parties to evaluate creditworthiness; and
3.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.
