1		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, Adjusted Effective tax rate and Net Debt 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.
2		This press release contains pro-forma financial information. The unaudited pro-forma consolidated financial statements for Dole plc illustrate the effects of the acquisition of Dole Food Company, Inc. ("DFC" or "Legacy Dole") by Total Produce ("TP") and the effects of the IPO and refinancing as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020. This is consistent with the pro-forma financial statements presented in the Form F-1 filed with the SEC at the time of the IPO.

Commenting on the results, Carl McCann, Executive Chairman said:

“We are pleased with the strong results delivered for the third quarter of 2022, which were significantly ahead of the prior year and ahead of our own expectations. The broad diversification of our product offering, and the wide geographic footprint of our vertically integrated business provides us with a strong foundation for continued growth.

As we move towards the end of the financial year, we are now targeting Adjusted EBITDA within our previously guided range but at the lower end.

Our talented and dedicated people are our greatest asset, and we thank them for their significant contributions during the past year.”

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased to $2.3 billion from $1.9 billion. The increase was primarily driven by the impact of revenue from Legacy Dole following the acquisition by Dole plc. Compared on a pro- forma basis, revenue decreased by 1.7%, or $38.5 million, primarily due to negative foreign currency translation movements of $136.8 million and a net unfavorable impact of $17.9 million from acquisitions and divestitures. On a like- for-like basis³, revenue increased 5.0%, or $116.2 million, with growth in all segments with the exception of Fresh Vegetables.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased to $73.0 million. On a pro-forma comparative basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased 25.7%, or $14.9 million, primarily due to an increase in the Fresh Fruit segment as a result of higher pricing of bananas and strong performance in the commercial cargo business. These increases were offset by a negative impact of currency translation of $4.0 million, primarily on the reported results of the Diversified EMEA segment, and losses in the Fresh Vegetables and Diversified Americas segments.

Adjusted Net Income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $13.5 million, compared to $2.4 million on a pro-forma basis. The increases on a pro-forma comparative basis were predominantly due to the increases in Adjusted EBITDA noted above, offset by higher interest expense. Adjusted Diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $0.14 compared to $0.03 for the pro-forma comparative three months ended September 30, 2021.

__________________________________________
3		Like-for-like basis refers to the measure excluding the impact of foreign currency translation movements and acquisitions and divestitures.

Fresh Fruit

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased 11.7%, or $78.6 million, compared to pro-forma revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Revenue was positively impacted by increased pricing worldwide for bananas, increased pricing in commercial cargo and higher volumes of bananas in North America, partially offset by lower volumes of bananas in Europe and Latin America.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased 200.6%, or $34.1 million, compared to the prior year on a pro-forma basis. Adjusted EBITDA was positively impacted by higher pricing of bananas in core markets and strong performance in the commercial cargo business, partially offset by higher costs of ocean and inland freight, packaging, fertilizers and other materials.

Diversified Fresh Produce – EMEA

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased 13.4%, or $117.5 million, compared to pro-forma revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This was primarily driven by a negative translation impact on currency of $134.9 million due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in the quarter against the euro, Swedish krona, and sterling. In addition, there was a net unfavorable impact on revenue from divestitures and acquisitions of $17.9 million in the quarter. On a like-for-like basis, revenue increased 4.0%, or $35.3 million, across the business, driven by increased pricing.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased 11.8%, or $4.2 million, compared to the prior year on a pro-forma basis. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily a result of a negative currency translation effect of $4.7 million when translating the results of euro, Swedish krona and sterling businesses into the U.S. dollar, which strengthened significantly against European currencies when compared to the prior year. On a like-for-like basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased 0.1% with strong performance from our Northern European and Spanish businesses offset by a more challenging quarter for our U.K. wholesale businesses.

Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas & ROW

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased 5.8%, or $26.1, million versus the prior year on a pro- forma basis. The increase was driven primarily by higher overall average selling prices, particularly in the North American market for potato and onion products.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was a loss of $0.7 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $4.3 million in the pro-forma comparative period, primarily due to a difficult end to the Chilean grape season driven by supply chain challenges, offset in part by strong performance in potato and onion products in North America.

Fresh Vegetables

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased 5.2% or $16.9 million compared to the prior year on a pro-forma basis. Revenue was negatively impacted by lower volumes of value added salads. These decreases were partially offset by significantly stronger pricing in fresh packed products, as well as by improved pricing in value added salads.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was a loss of $9.0 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million in the pro-forma comparative period. Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by lower volumes, as well as by inflationary cost increases in freight, packaging materials, food ingredients and labor. Fresh Vegetables was also impacted by higher sourcing costs for vegetables due to weather-related events. These challenges in the value added salads business were partially offset by improved performance for fresh packed products.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $66.6 million, which included investments in farm renovations and glasshouse projects across our growing regions, the acquisition of an additional farm in Peru and ongoing investments in IT, logistics and efficiency projects in our warehouses and processing facilities.

Net Debt

Net Debt as of September 30, 2022 was $1.1 billion.

Outlook for Fiscal Year 2022 (forward-looking statement)

For fiscal year 2022, Dole is targeting:

• Revenue in the range of $9.1 billion to $9.4 billion
• Adjusted EBITDA at the lower end of the range of $330.0 million to $350.0 million
• Capital Expenditures of approximately $95.0 million (reflects a reduction from $110.0 million)
• Interest Expense of approximately $60.0 million
• Adjusted Effective tax rate in the range of 23% to 25%

The global economic environment remains dynamic, and we are currently seeing positive trends, along with some further challenges, as we progress through the final quarter of this financial year. Our focus remains on delivering operating efficiencies and being disciplined in our deployment of capital, while continuing to push for inflation-justified price increases. Our scale and wide geographic footprint, along with our diverse portfolio of healthy and nutritious products, leaves us well positioned as we move towards 2023.

For the full year, we now expect Adjusted EBITDA to be at the lower end of our previously guided range due to the ongoing challenges within our Fresh Vegetables segment, which has taken longer in its recovery, as well as the impact of the unusual supply chain challenges encountered in the third quarter at the end of the Chilean grape season in North America.

The above outlook includes non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the appendix of this release for an explanation and reconciliation of our historical non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to comparable GAAP financial measures.

Net Debt Reconciliation

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. The calculation of Net Debt as of September 30, 2022 is presented below. Net Debt as of September 30, 2022 was $1.1 billion.

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, Adjusted Effective tax rate, Net Debt, pro-forma Adjusted EBIT, pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, pro-forma Adjusted Net Income and pro-forma Adjusted Earnings per Share, 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 tax expense or adding the income tax benefit; (2) subtracting interest expense; (3) subtracting mark to market losses or adding mark to market gains related to unrealized impacts from 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 include subtracting merger, transaction and other related costs, subtracting incremental costs for produce recalls, adding or subtracting asset write-downs, net of insurance proceeds, adding the gain or subtracting the loss on the disposal of business interests, subtracting the incremental costs from the fair value uplift for biological assets and inventory related to the acquisition of Legacy Dole, subtracting impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, adding the fair value gain or subtracting the fair value loss on the acquisition of investments previously accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the sale of investments accounted for under the equity method, adding the gain or subtracting the loss on asset sales for assets held-for-sale and actively marketed property and subtracting restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the ordinary course of business; and (5) adjustments from equity method investments, which includes the Company’s share of these items within equity method earnings.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated from GAAP net income by: (1) subtracting the income tax expense or adding the income tax benefit; (2) subtracting interest expense; (3) subtracting depreciation charges; (4) subtracting amortization charges; (5) subtracting mark to market losses or adding mark to market gains related to unrealized impacts from 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; (6) other items which are separately stated based on materiality, which include subtracting merger, transaction and other related costs, subtracting incremental costs for produce recalls, adding or subtracting asset write-downs, net of insurance proceeds, adding the gain or subtracting the loss on the disposal of business interests, subtracting the incremental costs from the fair value uplift for biological assets and inventory related to the acquisition of Legacy Dole, subtracting impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, adding the fair value gain or subtracting the fair value loss on the acquisition of investments previously accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the sale of investments accounted for under the equity method, adding the gain or subtracting the loss on asset sales for assets held-for-sale and actively marketed property and subtracting restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the ordinary course of business; and (7) adjustments from equity method investments, which includes the Company’s share of these items within equity method earnings.

Adjusted Net Income is calculated from GAAP net income attributable to Dole plc by: (1) subtracting amortization charges; (2) subtracting mark to market losses or adding mark to market gains related to unrealized impacts from 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; (3) other items which are separately stated based on materiality, which include subtracting merger, transaction and other related costs, subtracting incremental costs for produce recalls, adding or subtracting asset write-downs, net of insurance proceeds, adding the gain or subtracting the loss on the disposal of business interests, subtracting the incremental costs from the fair value uplift for biological assets and inventory related to the acquisition of Legacy Dole, subtracting impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, adding the fair value gain or subtracting the fair value loss on the acquisition of investments previously accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the sale of investments accounted for under the equity method, adding the gain or subtracting the loss on asset sales for assets held-for-sale and actively marketed property and subtracting restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the ordinary course of business; (4) adjustments from equity method investments, which includes the Company’s share of these items within equity method earnings; (5) excluding the tax effect of these items and discrete tax adjustments; and (6) 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.

Adjusted Effective tax rate is calculated from the GAAP effective tax rate by: (1) adjusting the tax impact for each adjustment from GAAP net income attributable to Dole plc to Adjusted Net Income as described above; and (2) subtracting the impact from discrete tax adjustments, including uncertain tax positions.

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 debt discounts and debt issuance costs.

Pro-forma EBIT is calculated from pro-forma net income by adding pro-forma interest expense and adding the pro-forma income tax expense or subtracting the pro-forma income tax benefit, as well as including the following pro-forma adjustments: (1) subtracting mark to market losses or adding mark to market gains related to unrealized impacts from 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; (2) other items which are separately stated based on materiality, which include subtracting merger, transaction and other related costs, subtracting incremental costs for produce recalls, adding or subtracting asset write-downs, net of insurance proceeds, adding the gain or subtracting the loss on the disposal of business interests, subtracting the incremental costs from the fair value uplift for biological assets and inventory related to the acquisition of Legacy Dole, subtracting impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, adding the fair value gain or subtracting the fair value loss on the acquisition of investments previously accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the sale of investments accounted for under the equity method, adding the gain or subtracting the loss on asset sales for assets held-for-sale and actively marketed property and subtracting restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the ordinary course of business; and (3) adjustments from equity method investments, which includes the Company’s share of these items within equity method earnings.

Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA is calculated from pro-forma EBIT by including the following pro-forma adjustments: (1) adding depreciation charges; and (2) adding amortization charges. It also includes the effect of the Company’s share of these listed items within investments accounted for under the equity method.

Pro-forma Adjusted Net Income is calculated from pro-forma net income attributable to Dole plc by include the following pro-forma adjustments: (1) subtracting amortization charges; (2) subtracting mark to market losses or adding mark to market gains related to unrealized impacts from 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; (3) other items which are separately stated based on materiality, which include subtracting merger, transaction and other related costs, subtracting incremental costs for produce recalls, adding or subtracting asset write-downs, net of insurance proceeds, adding the gain or subtracting the loss on the disposal of business interests, subtracting the incremental costs from the fair value uplift for biological assets and inventory related to the acquisition of Legacy Dole, subtracting impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, adding the fair value gain or subtracting the fair value loss on the acquisition of investments previously accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the sale of investments accounted for under the equity method, adding the gain or subtracting the loss on asset sales for assets held-for-sale and actively marketed property and subtracting restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the ordinary course of business; (4) adjustments from equity method investments, which includes the Company’s share of these items within equity method earnings; (5) it excludes the tax effect of these items and discrete tax adjustments; and (6) excluding the effect of these items attributable to non-controlling interests.

Pro-forma Adjusted Earnings per Share is calculated from pro-forma Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average number of shares in the applicable period.

Adjusted EBIT, pro-forma EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, pro-forma Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Effective tax rate, Net Debt and pro-forma Adjusted EPS are not measurements of Dole plc financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to Dole plc, net income, income before income taxes and equity earnings or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, pro-forma EBIT, pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, pro-forma Adjusted Net Income and pro-forma Adjusted EPS are not intended to be liquidity measures because of certain limitations such as:

• They do not reflect Dole plc’s cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
• They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, Dole plc’s working capital needs;
• They do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on Dole plc’s debt; and
• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and these non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements.

Because of these limitations, pro-forma EBIT, pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, pro-forma Adjusted Net Income, and pro-forma Adjusted EPS should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to Dole plc to invest in the growth of its and Dole plc’s business.

Further, pro-forma EBIT, pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, pro-forma Adjusted Net Income, and pro-forma Adjusted EPS as used herein may not be calculated in a similar manner to, and are therefore not necessarily comparable with, similarly titled measures of other companies. However, we have included pro-forma EBIT, pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, pro-forma Adjusted Net Income, and pro-forma Adjusted EPS herein because Dole plc’s management believes that pro-forma EBIT, pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, pro-forma Adjusted Net Income, and pro-forma Adjusted EPS are useful performance measures.

Dole is not able to provide a reconciliation for projected FY'22 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Effective tax rate without undertaking unreasonable efforts.

Pro-forma Methodology

The methodology used to prepare the unaudited pro-forma consolidated financial statements for Dole plc to show the estimated effects of the acquisition of DFC by TP and the IPO and refinancing as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020 and is consistent with how the pro-forma financial statements were prepared in the F-1. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are based on the Company's consolidated statutory results and therefore are not pro-forma adjusted.

1. All associated transaction costs reflected on January 1, 2020. As such, no transaction costs are included within the pro-forma numbers discussed below.
2. Effective tax rate of 25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
3. Applying the results of the Purchase Price Allocation (“PPA”) exercise, acquisition accounting and debt refinancing to January 1, 2020:
   1. Q3 2021 year to date pro-forma results reflect a reduction in the depreciation charge of $3.0 million. This is a function of the asset values increasing as a result of the PPA exercise offset by an increase in the estimated useful lives of the assets.
   2. The interest expense for Q3 2021 reflects the outcome of the refinancing.
4. TP’s pickup of its 45.0% share of DFC’s net income has been eliminated.
5. EPS is calculated using shares in issue following the IPO and additional share issuances.
6. There is a year to date adjustment in Q3 2021 of $9.7 million to reflect estimated ongoing incremental public company costs of $14.0 million annualized.

See reconciliation of pro-forma results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 below.
