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

“We are pleased to report a good outcome for the third quarter of 2025. Our Diversified Fresh Produce segments delivered excellent results, partially offsetting an anticipated decline in Fresh Fruit in the quarter.

The momentum within the overall business gives us confidence that our full year Adjusted EBITDA should be at the upper end of our targeted range of $380 million to $390 million.

In August, we were pleased to successfully complete the sale of the Fresh Vegetables Division, providing us with greater flexibility in our capital allocation strategy. As part of this strategy, our Board of Directors has granted authorization for the Group to opportunistically repurchase up to $100 million of its ordinary shares.”

Group Results - Third Quarter

Revenue increased 10.5%, or $216.5 million, primarily due to positive operational performance across all segments and a favorable impact from foreign currency translation of $56.1 million, offset partially by a net negative impact from acquisitions and divestitures of $8.6 million. On a like-for-like basis, revenue increased 8.2%, or $169.1 million.

Net Income decreased 35.7%, or $7.7 million, to $13.8 million. This decrease was due to a loss of $10.2 million in discontinued operations (Fresh Vegetables) primarily due to a loss on disposal of the business of $14.7 million ($11.2 million, net of tax). There was also an associated non-cash fair value charge of $8.2 million on fixed assets excluded from the sale. These decreases were partially offset by insurance proceeds of $10.0 million recognized in the period, increases related to fair value adjustments of financial instruments and higher earnings in equity method investments.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 1.6%, or $1.3 million, primarily driven by decreases in the Fresh Fruit segment, partially offset by strong performance in the Diversified Fresh Produce - EMEA and Diversified Fresh Produce - Americas & ROW segments, as well as a favorable impact of foreign currency translation of $2.4 million. On a like-for-like basis, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 5.1%, or $4.2 million.

Adjusted Net Income decreased 16.7%, or $3.0 million, predominantly due to the decreases in Adjusted EBITDA noted above and higher depreciation expense, partially offset by lower tax expense. Adjusted Diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $0.16 compared to $0.19 in the prior year.

Fresh Fruit

Revenue increased 11.5%, or $91.6 million, primarily due to higher worldwide volumes of bananas, pineapples and plantains sold, as well as higher worldwide pricing of bananas, pineapples and plantains.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 36.7%, or $15.8 million, primarily driven by higher fruit costs in bananas, due both to higher overall sourcing costs in the market and higher fruit costs following Tropical Storm Sara that impacted Honduras in November 2024. In the quarter, we also experienced higher fruit sourcing costs in pineapples, partially driven by climatic conditions, higher sourcing costs in plantains and lower profits in commercial cargo.

Diversified Fresh Produce – EMEA

Revenue increased 10.9%, or $98.2 million, primarily due to a favorable impact from foreign currency translation of $56.8 million, as a result of the strengthening of the Swedish krona, Euro and British pound against the U.S. Dollar, as well as strong underlying performance in Scandinavia, Spain and the Netherlands. These increases were partially offset by a net negative impact from acquisitions and divestitures of $8.6 million. On a like-for-like basis, revenue increased 5.6%, or $50.0 million.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 34.2%, or $10.4 million, primarily driven by increases in earnings in Scandinavia, Spain, the Netherlands and South Africa, as well as a favorable impact from foreign currency translation of $2.8 million. On a like-for-like basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased 24.4%, or $7.4 million.

Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas & ROW

Revenue increased 7.7%, or $29.9 million, primarily due to revenue growth in most commodities sold in the North American market, particularly in kiwi and berries.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 46.2%, or $4.1 million, driven by improved performance in the southern hemisphere export business, primarily due to positive final liquidations of the prior export season, as well as continued good performance in the North America market across commodities.

Capital Expenditures

Cash capital expenditures from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $93.1 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 $14.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations and Net Debt

Free cash flow from continuing operations was an outflow of $66.2 million for the nine months ended September 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 September 30, 2025 was $664.5 million and 1.7x, respectively.

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 approximately $90.0 million in cash and a $50.0 million seller note, as well as a $10.0 million potential earn-out. Net cash proceeds received of $68.0 million, after transaction adjustments, were primarily utilized to reduce the amount outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility.

Share Repurchase Program

On November 7, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $100.0 million in the aggregate of its ordinary shares. Shares may be repurchased from time to time through open-market transactions or other methods permitted under applicable securities laws. The timing and volume of repurchases will be at the discretion of the Company's management.

Outlook for Fiscal Year 2025 (forward-looking statement)

We are pleased that our broadly based business model has delivered year-on-year Adjusted EBITDA growth for the first nine months. The momentum within our overall business gives us confidence that our full year Adjusted EBITDA should be at the upper end of our targeted range of $380 million to $390 million.

For financial year 2025, we are reducing our guidance for routine capital expenditure to approximately $85 million, and we continue to expect full year interest expense to be approximately $67 million.

Dividend

On November 7, 2025, the Board of Directors of Dole plc declared a cash dividend for the third quarter of 2025 of $0.085 per share, payable on January 6, 2026 to shareholders of record on December 9, 2025. A cash dividend of $0.085 per share was paid on October 6, 2025 for the second 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 September 30, 2025 is presented below. Net Debt as of September 30, 2025 was $664.5 million and Net Leverage was 1.7x.

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.
