Mr. Barnard continued, “Looking ahead to fiscal 2025, we will continue to focus on operational excellence, strategic growth initiatives, and sound capital allocation to drive shareholder value. While we anticipate some pricing moderation as additional supply sources become available, this environment typically supports increased consumption, and we remain well-positioned to capitalize on this growth through our unique capability to provide consistent year-round avocado supply.

Outlook
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company is providing the following industry outlooks that will drive performance:
- Industry volumes in the fiscal 2025 first quarter are expected to be consistent with the prior year period. While supply from Mexico has been constrained during the early part of the quarter due to fruit maturity and sizing, we expect industry volumes to ramp up as we move to the latter portion of quarter as we expect a larger Mexican harvest season.
- Pricing is expected to be higher on a year-over-year basis by approximately
20% compared to the$1.40 per pound average experienced in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, indicative of continued strength in demand.
- The blueberries harvest season in Peru will peak during the first quarter. The Company expects to see meaningful volume increases from owned farms resulting from yield improvements and new acreage in production, but the impact on revenue will likely be offset by lower average sales prices resulting from higher overall industry volumes from Peru. Pricing is expected to be approximately
30% lower compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024, which will negatively impact segment adjusted EBITDA during the quarter as compared to the previous year when weather-related supply constraints led to abnormally high sales prices.
- Capital expenditures were lower than expected for fiscal 2024 by approximately
$10 million due to the timing of vendor payments associated with packhouse construction in Guatemala and blueberry plant development in Peru, both of which will carryover into fiscal 2025. For fiscal 2025, total capital expenditures inclusive of the 2024 carryover are expected to be between$50 t o$55 million . The spend will be allocated primarily to the International Farming and Blueberries segments. Within the International Farming segment, spend will be concentrated in Guatemala for pre-production avocado orchard maintenance and packhouse construction. Within the Blueberries segment, spend will be concentrated on land development and plant cultivation in Peru.

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, net of insurance recoveries, farming costs for nonproductive orchards (which represents land lease costs), recognition of deferred ERP costs, transaction costs, amortization of inventory adjustments recognized from business combinations, 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.
