Commenting on the results, Carl McCann, Executive Chairman, said:
“We are very pleased to report a strong result for the second quarter of 2025. Group revenue increased 14.3% and Adjusted EBITDA increased 9.3% compared to the prior year, with good growth across all of our Continuing Operations.
Post quarter end, we completed the sale of the Fresh Vegetables Division to Arable Capital Partners. The completion of this sale represents an important strategic milestone for the Group and will enable us to further concentrate our efforts and investments on our core business activities.
For the current financial year, although the macroeconomic environment remains complex, we are pleased to announce an upward revision of our guidance and are now targeting full year Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $380.0 million to $390.0 million.”
1 Fresh Vegetables results are reported separately as discontinued operations, net of income taxes, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, its assets and liabilities are separately presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and its cash flows are presented separately in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, our discussion of our results included herein, outlook and all supplementary tables, including non-GAAP financial measures, are presented on a continuing operations basis.
2 Like-for-like basis refers to the measure excluding the impact of foreign currency translation movements and acquisitions and divestitures. Refer to the Appendix and "Supplemental Reconciliation of Prior Year Segment Results to Current Year Segment Results" for further detail on these impacts and the calculation of like-for-like basis variances.
3 Dole plc reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). See full GAAP financial results in the appendix. Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Net Debt, Net Leverage and Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations are non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the appendix of this release for an explanation and reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to comparable GAAP financial measures.
Group Results - Second Quarter
Revenue increased 14.3%, or $304.3 million, primarily due to positive operational performance across all segments and a favorable impact from foreign currency translation of $57.2 million, offset partially by a net negative impact from acquisitions and divestitures of $9.6 million. On a like-for-like basis, revenue increased 12.1%, or $256.7 million.
Net Income decreased 79.6%, or $70.1 million, to $18.0 million. This decrease was due to a loss of $35.0 million in discontinued operations (Fresh Vegetables) compared to income of $32.0 million in the prior year primarily due to an incremental non-cash held for sale fair value loss of $50.7 million ($37.8 million, net of tax), which adjusted the carrying value of the Fresh Vegetables division to its estimated fair value. There was also a decrease of other income of $25.1 million, primarily related to unrealized foreign currency losses which are offset by gains in other comprehensive income. These decreases were partially offset by a higher gain on asset sales in the current year.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 9.3%, or $11.7 million, primarily due to positive operational performance across all segments and a favorable impact of foreign currency translation of $2.2 million. On a like-for-like basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased 7.2%, or $9.0 million.
Adjusted Net Income increased 13.0%, or $6.1 million, predominantly due to the increases in Adjusted EBITDA noted above and lower interest expense, partially offset by higher depreciation expense. Adjusted Diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $0.55 compared to $0.49 in the prior year.

Fresh Fruit
Revenue increased 14.2%, or $121.1 million, primarily due to higher worldwide volumes of bananas and pineapples sold, as well as higher worldwide pricing of bananas, pineapples and plantains, partially offset by lower worldwide volumes of plantains sold.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 3.0%, or $2.1 million, primarily driven by an improved performance in pineapples on a worldwide basis as well as strong growth in banana volumes. These improvements were partially offset by higher fruit costs following Tropical Storm Sara that impacted Honduras in November 2024, as well as higher shipping costs due to an operational disruption for one of our vessels servicing the North American market that has since been resolved.
Diversified Fresh Produce – EMEA
Revenue increased 16.5%, or $155.9 million, primarily due to strong performance in the U.K., Spain, Scandinavia and the Netherlands, as well as a favorable impact from foreign currency translation of $57.7 million, as a result of the strengthening of the British pound, Swedish krona and Euro against the U.S. Dollar. These increases were partially offset by a net negative impact from acquisitions and divestitures of $9.6 million. On a like-for-like basis, revenue increased 11.4%, or $107.8 million.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.7%, or $6.3 million, primarily driven by increases in earnings in the U.K., Spain and the Netherlands, as well as a favorable impact from foreign currency translation of $2.5 million. These increases were partially offset by lower earnings in South Africa. On a like-for-like basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased 8.7%, or $3.7 million.
Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas & ROW
Revenue increased 8.5%, or $30.3 million, primarily due to revenue growth in most commodities sold in the North American market, primarily due to volume growth, as well as higher revenues in apples exported from South America.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 27.0%, or $3.3 million, primarily driven by strong performance in the southern hemisphere export business, particularly in apples and citrus, as well as continued good performance in the North American market in kiwis, citrus and avocados.
Capital Expenditures
Cash capital expenditures from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $72.2 million, including the buyout of two vessel finance leases of $36.1 million that were already reflected within Net Debt as of December 31, 2024. Other expenditures included investments in warehouse and logistics assets, particularly in Northern Europe, vessel dry dockings, farming investments and ongoing investments in IT assets. Additions through finance leases from continuing operations were $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations and Net Debt
Free cash flow from continuing operations was an outflow of $132.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Free cash flow was primarily driven by normal seasonal impacts. There were outflows from receivables based on higher revenue and timing of collections. Net Debt and Net Leverage as of June 30, 2025 was $788.8 million and 2.0x, respectively.
Debt Refinancing
On May 1, 2025, we completed the refinancing of our corporate credit facilities. The new credit facilities consist of a $600.0 million multicurrency five-year Revolving Credit Facility (“RCF”), a $250.0 million five-year Term Loan A (“TLA”) and a $350.0 million seven-year Farm Credit term loan. These new credit facilities replace an existing RCF, TLA and a senior secured Term Loan B.
Sale of Fresh Vegetables
On August 5, 2025, we completed the sale of our Fresh Vegetables division to Arable Capital Partners for total consideration of $140.0 million, comprising $90.0 million in cash and a $50.0 million seller note as well as a $10.0 million potential earn-out. Dole is retaining its facilities in Huron, California and Yuma, Arizona.
Outlook for Fiscal Year 2025 (forward-looking statement)
We are pleased with our strong result for the second quarter of 2025, continuing our positive momentum and putting the Group in a good position to achieve our full year targets, in what continues to be a dynamic macroeconomic environment.
Short-term issues may persist, however we remain confident in the resilience of our diversified business model and the international fresh produce industry.
While forecasting in this dynamic environment remains complex, we are pleased to once more revise our guidance upward and are now targeting full year Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $380.0 million to $390.0 million.
For fiscal year 2025, we are maintaining our guidance for maintenance capital expenditure of approximately $100.0 million, broadly in line with our expected annual depreciation expense. We also anticipate some increased capital expenditure over the remainder of the year related to our reinvestments in Honduras following Tropical Storm Sara, albeit significantly supported by insurance proceeds.
We were pleased to announce the completion of the sale of the Fresh Vegetables Division on August 5, 2025. This was a key strategic priority for the Group and its completion provides us with enhanced strategic clarity as we look towards the future. We are focused on exploring a range of development opportunities through both internal and external investment, which we believe can further strengthen our business and drive growth for the years ahead.
Under the assumption that base rates will remain broadly stable for the remainder of 2025 and having factored in the benefit of the additional Fresh Vegetables sale proceeds, we now expect interest expense to be approximately $67.0 million.
Dividend
On August 8, 2025, the Board of Directors of Dole plc declared a cash dividend for the second quarter of 2025 of $0.085 per share, payable on October 6, 2025 to shareholders of record on September 15, 2025. A cash dividend of $0.085 per share was paid on July 7, 2025 for the first quarter of 2025.

Net Debt and Net Leverage Reconciliation – Unaudited
Net Debt is the primary measure used by management to analyze the Company’s capital structure. Net Debt is a non-GAAP financial measure, calculated as cash and cash equivalents, less current and long-term debt. It also excludes debt discounts and debt issuance costs. Net Leverage is calculated as total Net Debt divided by Last Twelve Months ("LTM") Adjusted EBITDA as of the period end. The calculation of Net Debt and Net Leverage as of June 30, 2025 is presented below. Net Debt as of June 30, 2025 was $788.8 million and Net Leverage was 2.0x.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Dole plc’s results are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
In addition to its results under U.S. GAAP, in this Press Release, we also present Dole plc’s Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations, Net Debt and Net Leverage, which are supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP (collectively, the "non-GAAP financial measures"). We present these non-GAAP financial measures, because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results, cash flows or any other measure prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by any of the adjusted items or that any projections and estimates will be realized in their entirety or at all. In addition, adjustment items that are excluded from non-GAAP results can have a material impact on equivalent GAAP earnings, financial measures and cash flows.
Adjusted EBIT is calculated from GAAP net income by: (1) subtracting the income or adding the loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes; (2) adding the income tax expense or subtracting the income tax benefit; (3) adding interest expense; (4) adding mark to market losses or subtracting mark to market gains related to unrealized impacts from certain derivative instruments and foreign currency denominated borrowings, realized impacts on noncash settled foreign currency denominated borrowings, net foreign currency impacts on liquidated entities and fair value movements on contingent consideration; (5) other items which are separately stated based on materiality, which during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, included adding impairment charges on goodwill, adding or subtracting asset write-downs from extraordinary events, net of insurance proceeds, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the disposal of business interests, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on asset sales for assets held for sale and actively marketed property or sales-type leases, adding restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the ordinary course of business, and adding debt refinancing expenses; and (6) the Company’s share of these items from equity method investments.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated from GAAP net income by: (1) subtracting the income or adding the loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes; (2) adding the income tax expense or subtracting the income tax benefit; (3) adding interest expense; (4) adding depreciation charges; (5) adding amortization charges on intangible assets; (6) adding mark to market losses or subtracting mark to market gains related to unrealized impacts from certain derivative instruments and foreign currency denominated borrowings, realized impacts on noncash settled foreign currency denominated borrowings, net foreign currency impacts on liquidated entities and fair value movements on contingent consideration; (7) other items which are separately stated based on materiality, which during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, included adding impairment charges on goodwill, adding or subtracting asset write-downs from extraordinary events, net of insurance proceeds, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the disposal of business interests, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on asset sales for assets held for sale and actively marketed property or sales-type leases, adding restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the ordinary course of business, and adding debt refinancing expenses; and (8) the Company’s share of these items from equity method investments.
Last Twelve Months ("LTM") Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, for the last twelve months as of the period end, which for the six months ended June 30, 2025, is calculated as subtracting the Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from the Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2024 and then adding Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2025. LTM Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2024 is the same as Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Adjusted Net Income is calculated from GAAP net income attributable to Dole plc by: (1) subtracting the income or adding the loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes; (2) adding amortization charges on intangible assets; (3) adding mark to market losses or subtracting mark to market gains related to unrealized impacts from certain derivative instruments and foreign currency denominated borrowings, realized impacts on noncash settled foreign currency denominated borrowings, net foreign currency impacts on liquidated entities and fair value movements on contingent consideration; (4) other items which are separately stated based on materiality, which during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, included adding impairment charges on goodwill, adding or subtracting asset write-downs from extraordinary events, net of insurance proceeds, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the disposal of business interests, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on asset sales for assets held for sale and actively marketed property or sales-type leases, adding restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the ordinary course of business, and adding debt refinancing expenses; (5) the Company’s share of these items from equity method investments; (6) excluding the tax effect of these items and discrete tax adjustments; and (7) excluding the effect of these items attributable to non-controlling interests.
Adjusted Earnings per Share is calculated from Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average number of shares in the applicable period.
Net Debt is a non-GAAP financial measure, calculated as GAAP cash and cash equivalents, less GAAP current and long-term debt. It also excludes GAAP unamortized debt discounts and debt issuance costs.
Net Leverage is a non-GAAP financial measure, calculated as Net Debt divided by LTM Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are defined above.
Free cash flow from continuing operations is calculated from GAAP net cash used in or provided by operating activities for continuing operations less GAAP capital expenditures.
Like-for-like basis refers to the U.S. GAAP measure or non-GAAP financial measure excluding the impact of foreign currency translation movements and acquisitions and divestitures. The impact of foreign currency translation represents an estimate of the effect of translating the results of operations denominated in a foreign currency to U.S. Dollar at prior year average rates, as compared to current year average rates.
Dole is not able to provide a reconciliation for projected FY'25 results without taking unreasonable efforts.
