CORAL GABLES, FL. - February 18, 2026 - Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. (NYSE: FDP) ("Fresh Del Monte" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended December 26, 2025.

"Fiscal 2025 reflected solid execution across the business, supported by pricing discipline, continued demand for our core categories, and a strong focus on cash flow," said Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh, Fresh Del Monte’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We closed the year with improved financial flexibility, reduced debt, and continued investment in our operations to support long-term performance. As we move into 2026, we remain focused on disciplined decision-making and thoughtful capital allocation as we evaluate opportunities ahead."
Financial highlights for the fourth quarter of 2025:
The Company announced its intent to divest its Mann Packing Inc. business operations ("Mann Packing") in the third quarter of 2025 and completed the transaction 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 fourth quarter of 2025 were $1,019.5 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher net sales in the Company's other products and services and banana business segments, reflecting increased activity in third-party ocean freight services and higher per-unit banana selling prices. Contributing factors included the effects of tariff-related price adjustments in North America and the favorable impact of fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily related to the Euro. The increase was partially offset by lower net sales in the Company's fresh and value-added products business segment, largely due to reduced sales volume in the fresh-cut vegetable product line following strategic operational actions taken in 2024, including the sale of certain assets of Fresh Leaf Farms. On an Adjusted basis, net salesfor the fourth quarter of 2025 were $968.2 million.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $106.0 million. The increase was driven by higher gross profit in all of the Company's business segments, primarily reflecting higher per-unit selling prices, partially offset by higher overall per-unit distribution costs and increased production and procurement costs in the Company's banana business segment. Gross margin increased to 10.4%. Adjusted gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $109.2 million. Adjusted gross margin increased to 11.3%.
Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $46.0 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher gross profit, partially offset by a lower gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment, net, reflecting the prior-year sale of the Company's Toronto distribution center. Adjusted operating income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $47.6 million.
FDP net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $31.9 million. Adjusted FDP net income was $33.2 million.
Financial highlights for the full fiscal year 2025:
For full fiscal year 2025, net sales were $4,322.3 million. The increase was driven by higher net sales across all of the Company's business segments, primarily due to higher per-unit selling prices in the fresh and value-added products and banana business segments, including the effects of tariff-related price adjustments in North America and the favorable impact of fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily related to the Euro and British pound. The increase was partially offset by lower sales volume in the fresh-cut vegetable product line following strategic operational actions taken in 2024, including the sale of certain assets of Fresh Leaf Farms. On an Adjusted basis, net salesfor the full fiscal year 2025 were $4,097.5 million.
For full fiscal year 2025, gross profit was $399.1 million. The increase was driven by higher net sales in the Company's fresh and value-added products business segment. The increase was partially offset by higher per-unit production and procurement costs in the Company's banana business segment and increased distribution costs. Gross margin increased to 9.2%. Adjusted gross profit for the full fiscal year 2025 was $426.8 million. Adjusted gross margin increased to 10.4%.
For the full fiscal year 2025, operating income was $137.4 million. The decrease was primarily due to higher asset impairment charges, net, related to low-productivity banana farms in the Philippines, as well as charges associated with the divestiture of Mann Packing, and a lower gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net. The decrease was partially offset by higher gross profit. Adjusted operating income for the full fiscal year 2025 was $221.9 million.
For the full fiscal year 2025, FDP net income was $90.7 million. Adjusted FDP net income was $177.7 million.

Full Fiscal Year 2025 Business Segment Performance and Selected Financial Data
(As reported in business segment data)
Fresh and Value-Added Products
Net sales for full fiscal year 2025 were $2,621.9 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher per-unit selling prices in the pineapple product line and higher per-unit selling prices and sales volume in the fresh-cut fruit product line, supported by strong market demand. The higher per-unit selling prices reflected the effects of tariff-related price increases in North America and the favorable impact of fluctuations in exchange rates primarily due to a stronger British pound. The increase was partially offset by lower net sales in the fresh and fresh-cut vegetable product lines following strategic operational reductions implemented in 2024, including the sale of certain assets of Fresh Leaf Farms. On an Adjusted basis, net salesfor the full fiscal year 2025 were $2,397.1 million.

Banana

The increase was also supported by higher sales volume in the Middle East, as the prior-year period was impacted by shipment disruptions related to the Red Sea conflict. The increase was partially offset by lower sales volume in Asia, primarily due to reduced supply and softer market demand and lower sales volume in North America, primarily due to adverse weather in production areas during the first half of the year.
Gross profit for full fiscal year 2025 was $71.0 million.

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, gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net, other product-related charges (credits), and certain other non-recurring items. 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 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, other product-related charges (credits), and certain other non-recurring items. 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.
