We delivered record second quarter revenue of $380.3 million, an increase of 28% versus the prior year period and generated stronger than expected adjusted EBITDA, demonstrating the continued execution of our global commercial strategy to expand market access and the categories that we serve. Our marketing and distribution segment delivered solid results in Q2, building on the strong foundation established in Q1, reflecting the effectiveness of our commercial teams to leverage the strategic value of our global sourcing network. We continued to successfully navigate typical seasonal dynamics in Mexico while maintaining strong customer relationships and service levels. Our deep grower relationships in Mexico along with our global sourcing network allowed us to be nimble, providing the flexibility to leverage other countries of origin as market conditions warranted. This is truly a core competency here at Mission. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:02:44It's what we do every day and represent more than 40 years of building the right capabilities in the right markets. The pricing environment remained favorable throughout the quarter. In fact, more so than we anticipated, the retail market's ability to sustain volumes amid extended periods of higher pricing reflects a favorable dynamic that reinforces the durability of consumer demand in the United States. This is the outcome of our relentless work to provide consistency both in terms of supply size and quality to the retail channel, which is supported by our unmatched network of sourcing, distribution, and ripening infrastructure. As we look forward to the future, we are applying the same playbook to the other markets and categories to enhance our competitive position globally. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:03:30For instance, we opened a forward distribution center in the U.K. two years ago with the vision of accelerating our reach in the broader European market by bringing ripening capabilities to the underserved region. Our commercial teams have been working hard to ramp up our presence and have delivered strong results through expanded customer penetration with larger accounts. This customer success is directly translating into higher volumes and significant gains in facility utilization, validating our strategic investment in the region. Our team's ability to adapt to local merchandising approaches and respond quickly with solutions is central to our increasing share while establishing Mission as a reliable partner for major U.K. customers. We look forward to building on our success there in the quarters ahead. Our mango business is another example of the team's strong execution. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:04:21Mangoes contributed strongly to our results this quarter, where we achieved record volumes and significant market share gains that established Mission as a leading U.S. distributor. This success stems from three deliberate competitive advantages we have built. First, our cross-selling approach of leveraging new and existing customer relationships to build our mango business. Second, our differentiated positioning as a long-term program provider with year-round source and quality consistency that others simply cannot match. Third is our national ripening, packing, and distribution footprint that provides operational capabilities and flexibility others in the space do not possess. Importantly, what we are seeing in mangoes mirrors the early success we achieved with avocados, bringing greater consistency and quality to consumers in an underserved market, which drives increased consumption over time and ultimately provides our retailer customers with new growth vectors for their businesses. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:05:18Our early success in mangoes combined with increased blueberry volumes and efficiency improvements we actioned last year directly benefited our international farming segment, which although small this time of year, delivered a significant EBITDA improvement, turning what has historically been a period of seasonal headwind into a positive contributor. Our diversification strategy is delivering exactly what we designed it to do: optimize facility utilization year round while positioning us for an even stronger performance when our core company owned avocado harvest season in South America ramps up in the second half. Our blueberries segment continued to contribute to our results. The over 100 hectares of new plantings that came online early last year grew our total footprint to over 550 hectares. This additional volume supported our Q2 performance and positions us well in a category that continues to see growing consumer demand. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:06:11Similar to avocados and mangoes, we continue to see tremendous long-term potential in blueberries as consumer preferences shift toward healthy, convenient snacking options. We're strategically positioning ourselves to capitalize on this trend through a multi-year expansion of acreage that is expected to add more than 200 hectares for the next year's season of premium varietals that deliver superior flavor profiles and extended shelf life. While the yields will take some time to ramp up, the higher volumes will help us support growth in the years ahead. Looking ahead to the second half, we are well positioned to generate our customary step up in cash flow, with the added benefit of what we expect to be a more normal Peruvian crop on our ranches this year. If you recall, last year's harvest was significantly impacted by weather events which decreased volumes by approximately 60%. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:07:02Our orchards have recovered and are in great shape. As a result, we expect our production to be up approximately 150% this season, putting us in a position to meet consistent global consumption. Given our strong performance last year and a solid first half of fiscal 2025, we are continuing to improve our balance sheet leverage which provided us with an opportunity to execute $5.2 million of share repurchases during the second quarter, reflecting our belief that the share price is undervalued relative to our business strength. With approximately $14 million remaining on our board authorization, we will continue to opportunistically repurchase shares when we believe there's a discount to the intrinsic value of Mission shares in the market. In closing, our Q2 results demonstrate the strategic value of our diversified global platform and the successful execution of our long term vision. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:07:52We built the capabilities to consistently deliver results across varying market conditions and this quarter's performance validates that strategic approach. With that, I'll pass the call over to our CFO Bryan Giles for his financial commentary. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:08:08Thank you Steve, and good afternoon to everyone on the call. Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 28% to $380.3 million, largely due to a 26% increase in per unit avocado selling prices that was driven by continued strength in consumer demand. Gross profit was $28.4 million in the second quarter compared to $31 million in the prior year period, primarily due to lower avocado per unit margins which were a result of challenges in obtaining necessary Mexican fruit supply in the early part of the quarter to meet our customer commitments. Per unit margin trended favorably as we transitioned through the quarter, driven largely by availability of fruit from competing origins such as California and Peru. In addition, we incurred $2.6 million of cost of sales that we consider to be unique and worth mentioning as you compare the results to the prior year period. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:09:04We sustained $1.5 million of costs associated with the closure of our Canadian distribution facilities and $1.1 million in tariffs levied on USMCA compliant goods imported from Mexico for the three days they were in effect during March 2025. Net of these costs avocado per unit margins tracked in line with historical averages separate from these items. We experienced improved gross profit in our international farming segment during the quarter where we benefited from increases in both yield and pricing from our owned mango orchards as well as higher packing and cooling service activity that correlated with higher blueberry production volumes, while gross profit margin decreased 290 basis points to 7.5% of revenue. We want to note that gross profit percentage fluctuates based upon per unit sales price levels in relation to per unit cost as profitability is primarily managed on a per unit basis. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:09:59Significant increases in per unit avocado pricing during the quarter had a negative impact on gross profit percentage. SG&A expense increased $2.8 million or 15% compared to the same period last year primarily due to higher employee related costs inclusive of performance based stock compensation expense as well as higher professional fees inclusive of fees for external legal counsel associated with outstanding legal proceedings. Adjusted net income for the quarter was $8.7 million or $0.12 per diluted share compared to $9.8 million or $0.14 per diluted share last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $19.1 million compared to $20.2 million last year, driven primarily by lower per unit gross margins on avocados sold. Turning now to the segments, our marketing distribution segment net sales increased 26% to $362.5 million for the quarter, primarily due to the favorable avocado pricing dynamics I previously described. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:11:03Segment adjusted EBITDA was $16.8 million compared to $21.7 million in the same period last year as a result of lower gross profit driven primarily by lower per unit gross margins on fruit sold, which was largely in line with our expectations. Total segment sales in our international farming segment increased $6.7 million to $8.1 million and segment adjusted EBITDA increased $3.7 million to a positive $1.5 million compared to the same period last year. This significant year-over-year improvement was primarily due to higher yield and pricing from owned mango orchards as well as higher volume of blueberry packing and cooling services. As Steve discussed in his remarks, we are pleased to see a sustained improvement in operating leverage during what has traditionally been a more challenging quarter for the segment. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:11:55Net sales in the Blueberry segment increased 57% to $15.7 million compared to $10 million in the prior year period, driven by higher volumes of fruit from our own farms via increased acreage and higher yields. Segment adjusted EBITDA was flat compared to the prior year period as lower per unit gross margins offset the volume growth we experienced in the quarter. Shifting to our financial position, cash and cash equivalents were $36.7 million as of April 30, 2025. Cash used in operating activities was $13 million for the year to date period ended April 30, 2025 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $12.9 million for the same period last year. This shift was driven by working capital growth from two primary factors. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:12:44First, higher accounts receivable balances correlated with the higher avocado pricing environment that is negating the impact of lower day sales outstanding metrics, and second, increased acreage and normal seasonal inventory build in our international farming segment as we prepare for the second half harvest season. As we've discussed previously, our working capital typically peaks during the first half of our fiscal year as we build growing crops, inventory for harvest and sale in the second half while also managing varying payment terms across different source regions. The sustained higher price environment this year amplified these normal seasonal dynamics, but we continue to expect a meaningful step up in cash generation in the second half as this reverses. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:13:34Capital expenditures were $28 million for the fiscal year to date period, which were primarily attributed to avocado and blueberry farming, related investments in Latin America and construction costs for our new pack house in Guatemala. Our full year fiscal 2025 CapEx guidance remains in the range of $50-$55 million, which includes approximately $10 million of projects that rolled over from fiscal 2024. Our trajectory of moderating capital spending remains on track as we complete these investments through fiscal 2026, positioning us to generate meaningful free cash flow in future periods. Although debt reduction continues as our near term priority, we remain nimble in our capital allocation strategy as evidenced by over $5 million in opportunistic share repurchases this quarter when market conditions presented compelling value. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:14:30In regards to our near term outlook on the fundamental drivers of our operations, we are providing some context around our expectations for industry conditions. These projections take into consideration the current tariff environment with the countries from which fruit is imported to the United States, but we note that ongoing tariff negotiations are fluid as such. Please consider this as a base case scenario to help inform your modeling assumptions. Industry volumes are expected to be approximately 10-15% higher in the fiscal 2025 third quarter versus the prior year period, primarily due to a strong Peruvian harvest outlook. Exportable avocado production from Mission's own farms in Peru is expected to range between 100 million-110 million pounds as compared to 43 million pounds in the 2024 harvest season that was negatively impacted by weather related events. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:15:25We anticipate that sales of our own production will be weighted to our fiscal fourth quarter. Pricing is expected to be lower on a year-over-year basis by approximately 10-15% as compared to the $1.84 per pound average we experienced in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in pricing is directly correlated with expectations of higher volumes available in U.S. and international markets. That concludes our prepared remarks. Operator, now over to you.

For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. One moment please. While we poll for questions, our first question is from Ben Clevey with Lake Street Capital Markets. Ben CleveyAnalyst at Lake Street Capital Markets00:16:34All right, thanks for taking my questions. Congratulations on a nice quarter here and the encouraging setup for the second half. First question is around that second half outlook, particularly the international farming segment. It's good to see you guys continue to be pretty confident in the outlook out of the Peruvian operations from a volume perspective. I'm wondering if you can elaborate a bit on at this point how you view fruit quality and sizing at this point, or if it's too soon to really be able to tell? Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:17:09I think fruit quality is going to be good. Ben, from what we see and hear so far, I can answer this a lot better a week from now because I'll be down there Tuesday. Sizing has been good. There's a couple blocks we've got, I think that might be a little on the large size, but I don't think that's going to represent a very big percentage of the business. So far the quality has been excellent and as you could hear, the production is exceeding expectations. We expect a good year. We're spreading it out around the world so it doesn't get bunched up in any one continent. So far so good. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:17:49Hi Ben, this is John. I would add just two quick comments to kind of take it a little further than Steve. Number one, the quality continues to get better and better out of Peru as those matrice continue to mature. From a relationship perspective with our customers and our consumers, the Peruvian fruit is becoming much more normalized in the U.S. from a consumption standpoint. Both quality and the expectations of that fruit are starting to match a lot better, which is fantastic. The second thing to your sizing question, one of the most important things for us is to make sure that as sizing comes through, our teams are understanding from a forecasting perspective what we're receiving so it can be planned and programmed the right way. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:18:32I think this year we're in a really good position where we've kept in touch very, very consistently with our Peruvian teams. Any small tweaks in sizes, like Steve just mentioned, we've already taken into account for in regards to how we program that out. We feel really good about both the quality that's coming in as well as the size expectations that our teams are moving through. Ben CleveyAnalyst at Lake Street Capital Markets00:18:55Okay, that's really helpful follow up. Thank you. I guess a follow up to the sizing question around second quarter performance in the first quarter call. The kind of challenges of securing fruit out of Mexico led to you having a little bit more volume coming through co-packers than you traditionally have had. Can you talk about relative level of co-packer volume embedded within the second quarter and then also kind of how that evolved throughout the quarter and if you're at kind of normalized levels at this point or if it remains elevated? John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:19:34Yeah, that challenge was one that we addressed head on by taking a couple of steps. The first one was we made sure that we were reaching out to and leveraging our other source markets to the best of our ab, especially as those markets came in. Peru came in early season Peruvian fruit that does not come off of our ranches, but we are able to secure through relationships as well as Californian fruit typically comes in during our second quarter. Those two things along with a couple of other relationships in Mexico helped us to get to more normalized levels. Short answer, yes, we were able to moderate and get to what we consider more normalized levels. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:20:16As we think about that moving forward, we feel like we're in a really good position with both our capacity in Mexico as well as our ability to leverage those resources and other sources to stay close to normal moving forward. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:20:30We are planning ahead for next year, assuming that second shift is not brought back. We are trying to mitigate that crimp that has put on us so far. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:20:40What Steve's referencing is we're putting in some additional capacity into some of our own pack houses in Mexico, actually leveraging some equipment from within our network and moving things around. We're not spending a lot of money on it, but we're adding about 25-50 loads to what we're able to do on a weekly basis, which will allow us to, if that situation compresses us in the future, be able to manage it within our own network moving forward. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:21:08Ben, I would just add that you kind of, as we move through the quarter, I think we still saw. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:21:12Some of these conditions in play during the month of February. It was really probably around the middle, early to mid March that we started to see improvement where California really started to harvest in meaningful volumes. Yeah, that's as soon as we get those other sources up and running, the leverage of the Mexico supplier decreases dramatically. We are able to balance things out much better. We are able to focus on only buying fruit that we can run through our own facilities. We can balance size curves across different countries of origin in order to avoid having to buy as much specifically sized fruit from individual co packers. The margin kind of trended along with that during the quarter that it was tighter in the early part and definitely ended kind of at a peak as we closed out the month of April. Ben CleveyAnalyst at Lake Street Capital Markets00:22:02Great, great, that's very helpful and glad to hear. Conditions improved throughout the period on the international markets. Totally understandable that the 72 hour tariff dynamic that you called out. I'm wondering on a kind of higher level if you can elaborate on changes in behavior that you observed throughout the period either from your suppliers or from your customers. In the context of all this tariff uncertainty, did everybody kind of operate as usual or was there any kind of any behavior from either side of the supply chain that you think is relevant to call out? John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:22:48God, Ben, I wish I could tell you everything was normal. The reality is, particularly back in January and February and March as we were going through a lot of the initial announcements, it felt like there was a lot more uncertainty at that point in time. You had moments in time where people were holding fruit back, not letting it cross, waiting for decisions to occur, sometimes doing things for 24-48 hours, which did not put any quality at risk, but was definitely lodging up trucks at borders and things like that. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:23:26By the time we got to the April timeframe, especially when the rest of the international tariffs went into place, I think most suppliers had become more comfortable with this was more than likely going to be business as usual, and regardless of what occurred, they would be able to handle it, especially at that 10% level. When the tariffs went into place on April 9, fruit was on the water. There were no disruptions in any ports or any changes. Really, it's been, I hate to knock on wood, it's been smooth sailing since then. There hasn't been a lot of disruption, even with some of the rhetoric in the marketplace about things being negotiated on the left side or the right side or in the Southern hemisphere or the Northern hemisphere. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:24:09It was that January, February, March time period where people were just acting a little skittish. Our relationships allowed us to get product when we needed to and how we needed to. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:24:17I'll add one bit onto that. I think when we looked at some of our, certainly Mexico is a big concern, as John alluded to, with the tariff rates as high as they were and price points peaking in March, the impact was very significant during that window. When that subsided, I think that the industry as a whole was fairly relieved in terms of making sure that we're going to have adequate supply into the market. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:24:39Colombia, Peru, some of the other import countries of origin as we move through the second quarter, still made up a fairly small percentage of the amount of fruit that's consumed in the U.S. That percentage is going to increase as we move into Q3 and Q4, but overall volume is going to increase as well, which is going to help keep price or moderate price, bring it down a little bit from these high levels that it was running at. My feeling is to the consumer, the. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:25:07Impact of having greater supply available in. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:25:10The market, the impact that will have on pricing will likely offset any impact that comes through in the form of higher tariffs. Ben CleveyAnalyst at Lake Street Capital Markets00:25:21Got it. That's helpful. I'm sure it was a dizzying period, but it's good to hear that things have somewhat stabilized. One more for me and then I'll get back in queue. Is around the mango business. This thing has really just been on a tear for some time and I'm curious. Two things. One, you talked about market share gains. Can you educate us on what your market share is at this point? Then on a TTM basis, the mango represents about $70 million of revenue. I'm curious how big this crop can get within your current infrastructure before you would need to invest in some kind of expansion initiative? Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:26:09Let's start with the mango itself. It's the number one consumed fruit in the world, not necessarily here in the U.S. but it's growing, growing. As you can see, we are already the second largest mango distributor in the United States. We have number one turned around looking at us, wondering which way we're going to go. It's a great complement to our avocado business that utilizes all the facilities including ripe rooms, trucks and customers. It's exceeding expectations and I think it will continue to going forward. Just as a large picture of what's going on, I would add to that. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:26:50Just to answer your question around the market share piece, about 12 months ago we were approximately somewhere below 5% market share. This year as we sit here today, we're closer to that next 5% threshold of the 10%. We're very happy with that. We're very happy with the relationships we have with our customers. All the things Steve mentioned as we were going through the prepared remarks are true in regards to our ability to program out year long. Now our farms themselves add a significant advantage to us in regards to our ability to have that fruit during that time of year. Number one, the quality is outstanding. Number two, we can really lock in good programmatic pricing for our customers and we can do it all around the country because we're pulling in fruit to multiple ports and through multiple DCs. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:27:42It's not just a regional play for us. We're able to help our customers regardless of where they are, regardless of how big their footprint is. As we think about the future, there's still a lot of room in the output of that ranch in Peru. Those trees are really just starting to mature, so there's room for them to grow. I think there's probably three to four years of productivity increases that will help us continue to push more volume through our network and hit that next 5% threshold as we think about market share. The other piece is we're continuing to build relationships all over the world. It's not just the Peruvian fruit that's going to make that difference for us. It's building more grower relationships in Mexico and Brazil. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:28:27In Ecuador and other places like that that we've already started to generate great returns from in regards to availability of fruit and only put more effort into that moving forward. Ben CleveyAnalyst at Lake Street Capital Markets00:28:39Very good. Ben CleveyAnalyst at Lake Street Capital Markets00:28:40It's impressive work over the past couple of years and look forward to watching that continue here going forward. Congratulations again. Ben CleveyAnalyst at Lake Street Capital Markets00:28:48Nice quarter. Ben CleveyAnalyst at Lake Street Capital Markets00:28:49Thanks for taking my questions and I'll get back in queue. Thank you. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:28:53Okay, thanks, Ben. Operator00:28:56Thank you. There are no further questions at this time. I'd like to hand the floor back over to management for any closing remarks.

With that I'd now like to turn the call over to Steve Barnard, CEO. Steve, please go ahead. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:01:46Thank you for joining us today. We delivered record second quarter revenue of $380.3 million, an increase of 28% versus the prior year period and generated stronger than expected adjusted EBITDA, demonstrating the continued execution of our global commercial strategy to expand market access and the categories that we serve. Our marketing and distribution segment delivered solid results in Q2, building on the strong foundation established in Q1, reflecting the effectiveness of our commercial teams to leverage the strategic value of our global sourcing network. We continued to successfully navigate typical seasonal dynamics in Mexico while maintaining strong customer relationships and service levels. Our deep grower relationships in Mexico along with our global sourcing network allowed us to be nimble, providing the flexibility to leverage other countries of origin as market conditions warranted. This is truly a core competency here at Mission. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:02:44It's what we do every day and represent more than 40 years of building the right capabilities in the right markets. The pricing environment remained favorable throughout the quarter. In fact, more so than we anticipated, the retail market's ability to sustain volumes amid extended periods of higher pricing reflects a favorable dynamic that reinforces the durability of consumer demand in the United States. This is the outcome of our relentless work to provide consistency both in terms of supply size and quality to the retail channel, which is supported by our unmatched network of sourcing, distribution, and ripening infrastructure. As we look forward to the future, we are applying the same playbook to the other markets and categories to enhance our competitive position globally. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:03:30For instance, we opened a forward distribution center in the U.K. two years ago with the vision of accelerating our reach in the broader European market by bringing ripening capabilities to the underserved region. Our commercial teams have been working hard to ramp up our presence and have delivered strong results through expanded customer penetration with larger accounts. This customer success is directly translating into higher volumes and significant gains in facility utilization, validating our strategic investment in the region. Our team's ability to adapt to local merchandising approaches and respond quickly with solutions is central to our increasing share while establishing Mission as a reliable partner for major U.K. customers. We look forward to building on our success there in the quarters ahead. Our mango business is another example of the team's strong execution. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:04:21Mangoes contributed strongly to our results this quarter, where we achieved record volumes and significant market share gains that established Mission as a leading U.S. distributor. This success stems from three deliberate competitive advantages we have built. First, our cross-selling approach of leveraging new and existing customer relationships to build our mango business. Second, our differentiated positioning as a long-term program provider with year-round source and quality consistency that others simply cannot match. Third is our national ripening, packing, and distribution footprint that provides operational capabilities and flexibility others in the space do not possess. Importantly, what we are seeing in mangoes mirrors the early success we achieved with avocados, bringing greater consistency and quality to consumers in an underserved market, which drives increased consumption over time and ultimately provides our retailer customers with new growth vectors for their businesses. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:05:18Our early success in mangoes combined with increased blueberry volumes and efficiency improvements we actioned last year directly benefited our international farming segment, which although small this time of year, delivered a significant EBITDA improvement, turning what has historically been a period of seasonal headwind into a positive contributor. Our diversification strategy is delivering exactly what we designed it to do: optimize facility utilization year round while positioning us for an even stronger performance when our core company owned avocado harvest season in South America ramps up in the second half. Our blueberries segment continued to contribute to our results. The over 100 hectares of new plantings that came online early last year grew our total footprint to over 550 hectares. This additional volume supported our Q2 performance and positions us well in a category that continues to see growing consumer demand. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:06:11Similar to avocados and mangoes, we continue to see tremendous long-term potential in blueberries as consumer preferences shift toward healthy, convenient snacking options. We're strategically positioning ourselves to capitalize on this trend through a multi-year expansion of acreage that is expected to add more than 200 hectares for the next year's season of premium varietals that deliver superior flavor profiles and extended shelf life. While the yields will take some time to ramp up, the higher volumes will help us support growth in the years ahead. Looking ahead to the second half, we are well positioned to generate our customary step up in cash flow, with the added benefit of what we expect to be a more normal Peruvian crop on our ranches this year. If you recall, last year's harvest was significantly impacted by weather events which decreased volumes by approximately 60%. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:07:02Our orchards have recovered and are in great shape. As a result, we expect our production to be up approximately 150% this season, putting us in a position to meet consistent global consumption. Given our strong performance last year and a solid first half of fiscal 2025, we are continuing to improve our balance sheet leverage which provided us with an opportunity to execute $5.2 million of share repurchases during the second quarter, reflecting our belief that the share price is undervalued relative to our business strength. With approximately $14 million remaining on our board authorization, we will continue to opportunistically repurchase shares when we believe there's a discount to the intrinsic value of Mission shares in the market. In closing, our Q2 results demonstrate the strategic value of our diversified global platform and the successful execution of our long term vision. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:07:52We built the capabilities to consistently deliver results across varying market conditions and this quarter's performance validates that strategic approach. With that, I'll pass the call over to our CFO Bryan Giles for his financial commentary. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:08:08Thank you Steve, and good afternoon to everyone on the call. Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 28% to $380.3 million, largely due to a 26% increase in per unit avocado selling prices that was driven by continued strength in consumer demand. Gross profit was $28.4 million in the second quarter compared to $31 million in the prior year period, primarily due to lower avocado per unit margins which were a result of challenges in obtaining necessary Mexican fruit supply in the early part of the quarter to meet our customer commitments. Per unit margin trended favorably as we transitioned through the quarter, driven largely by availability of fruit from competing origins such as California and Peru. In addition, we incurred $2.6 million of cost of sales that we consider to be unique and worth mentioning as you compare the results to the prior year period. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:09:04We sustained $1.5 million of costs associated with the closure of our Canadian distribution facilities and $1.1 million in tariffs levied on USMCA compliant goods imported from Mexico for the three days they were in effect during March 2025. Net of these costs avocado per unit margins tracked in line with historical averages separate from these items. We experienced improved gross profit in our international farming segment during the quarter where we benefited from increases in both yield and pricing from our owned mango orchards as well as higher packing and cooling service activity that correlated with higher blueberry production volumes, while gross profit margin decreased 290 basis points to 7.5% of revenue. We want to note that gross profit percentage fluctuates based upon per unit sales price levels in relation to per unit cost as profitability is primarily managed on a per unit basis. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:09:59Significant increases in per unit avocado pricing during the quarter had a negative impact on gross profit percentage. SG&A expense increased $2.8 million or 15% compared to the same period last year primarily due to higher employee related costs inclusive of performance based stock compensation expense as well as higher professional fees inclusive of fees for external legal counsel associated with outstanding legal proceedings. Adjusted net income for the quarter was $8.7 million or $0.12 per diluted share compared to $9.8 million or $0.14 per diluted share last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $19.1 million compared to $20.2 million last year, driven primarily by lower per unit gross margins on avocados sold. Turning now to the segments, our marketing distribution segment net sales increased 26% to $362.5 million for the quarter, primarily due to the favorable avocado pricing dynamics I previously described. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:11:03Segment adjusted EBITDA was $16.8 million compared to $21.7 million in the same period last year as a result of lower gross profit driven primarily by lower per unit gross margins on fruit sold, which was largely in line with our expectations. Total segment sales in our international farming segment increased $6.7 million to $8.1 million and segment adjusted EBITDA increased $3.7 million to a positive $1.5 million compared to the same period last year. This significant year-over-year improvement was primarily due to higher yield and pricing from owned mango orchards as well as higher volume of blueberry packing and cooling services. As Steve discussed in his remarks, we are pleased to see a sustained improvement in operating leverage during what has traditionally been a more challenging quarter for the segment. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:11:55Net sales in the Blueberry segment increased 57% to $15.7 million compared to $10 million in the prior year period, driven by higher volumes of fruit from our own farms via increased acreage and higher yields. Segment adjusted EBITDA was flat compared to the prior year period as lower per unit gross margins offset the volume growth we experienced in the quarter. Shifting to our financial position, cash and cash equivalents were $36.7 million as of April 30, 2025. Cash used in operating activities was $13 million for the year to date period ended April 30, 2025 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $12.9 million for the same period last year. This shift was driven by working capital growth from two primary factors. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:12:44First, higher accounts receivable balances correlated with the higher avocado pricing environment that is negating the impact of lower day sales outstanding metrics, and second, increased acreage and normal seasonal inventory build in our international farming segment as we prepare for the second half harvest season. As we've discussed previously, our working capital typically peaks during the first half of our fiscal year as we build growing crops, inventory for harvest and sale in the second half while also managing varying payment terms across different source regions. The sustained higher price environment this year amplified these normal seasonal dynamics, but we continue to expect a meaningful step up in cash generation in the second half as this reverses. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:13:34Capital expenditures were $28 million for the fiscal year to date period, which were primarily attributed to avocado and blueberry farming, related investments in Latin America and construction costs for our new pack house in Guatemala. Our full year fiscal 2025 CapEx guidance remains in the range of $50-$55 million, which includes approximately $10 million of projects that rolled over from fiscal 2024. Our trajectory of moderating capital spending remains on track as we complete these investments through fiscal 2026, positioning us to generate meaningful free cash flow in future periods. Although debt reduction continues as our near term priority, we remain nimble in our capital allocation strategy as evidenced by over $5 million in opportunistic share repurchases this quarter when market conditions presented compelling value. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:14:30In regards to our near term outlook on the fundamental drivers of our operations, we are providing some context around our expectations for industry conditions. These projections take into consideration the current tariff environment with the countries from which fruit is imported to the United States, but we note that ongoing tariff negotiations are fluid as such. Please consider this as a base case scenario to help inform your modeling assumptions. Industry volumes are expected to be approximately 10-15% higher in the fiscal 2025 third quarter versus the prior year period, primarily due to a strong Peruvian harvest outlook. Exportable avocado production from Mission's own farms in Peru is expected to range between 100 million-110 million pounds as compared to 43 million pounds in the 2024 harvest season that was negatively impacted by weather related events. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:15:25We anticipate that sales of our own production will be weighted to our fiscal fourth quarter. Pricing is expected to be lower on a year-over-year basis by approximately 10-15% as compared to the $1.84 per pound average we experienced in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in pricing is directly correlated with expectations of higher volumes available in U.S. and international markets. That concludes our prepared remarks. Operator, now over to you. Please open the call to Q and A. Operator00:16:00Thank you. We'll now be conducting a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. One moment please. While we poll for questions, our first question is from Ben Clevey with Lake Street Capital Markets. Ben CleveyAnalyst at Lake Street Capital Markets00:16:34All right, thanks for taking my questions. Congratulations on a nice quarter here and the encouraging setup for the second half. First question is around that second half outlook, particularly the international farming segment. It's good to see you guys continue to be pretty confident in the outlook out of the Peruvian operations from a volume perspective. I'm wondering if you can elaborate a bit on at this point how you view fruit quality and sizing at this point, or if it's too soon to really be able to tell? Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:17:09I think fruit quality is going to be good. Ben, from what we see and hear so far, I can answer this a lot better a week from now because I'll be down there Tuesday. Sizing has been good. There's a couple blocks we've got, I think that might be a little on the large size, but I don't think that's going to represent a very big percentage of the business. So far the quality has been excellent and as you could hear, the production is exceeding expectations. We expect a good year. We're spreading it out around the world so it doesn't get bunched up in any one continent. So far so good. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:17:49Hi Ben, this is John. I would add just two quick comments to kind of take it a little further than Steve. Number one, the quality continues to get better and better out of Peru as those matrice continue to mature. From a relationship perspective with our customers and our consumers, the Peruvian fruit is becoming much more normalized in the U.S. from a consumption standpoint. Both quality and the expectations of that fruit are starting to match a lot better, which is fantastic. The second thing to your sizing question, one of the most important things for us is to make sure that as sizing comes through, our teams are understanding from a forecasting perspective what we're receiving so it can be planned and programmed the right way. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:18:32I think this year we're in a really good position where we've kept in touch very, very consistently with our Peruvian teams. Any small tweaks in sizes, like Steve just mentioned, we've already taken into account for in regards to how we program that out. We feel really good about both the quality that's coming in as well as the size expectations that our teams are moving through. Ben CleveyAnalyst at Lake Street Capital Markets00:18:55Okay, that's really helpful follow up. Thank you. I guess a follow up to the sizing question around second quarter performance in the first quarter call. The kind of challenges of securing fruit out of Mexico led to you having a little bit more volume coming through co-packers than you traditionally have had. Can you talk about relative level of co-packer volume embedded within the second quarter and then also kind of how that evolved throughout the quarter and if you're at kind of normalized levels at this point or if it remains elevated? John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:19:34Yeah, that challenge was one that we addressed head on by taking a couple of steps. The first one was we made sure that we were reaching out to and leveraging our other source markets to the best of our ab, especially as those markets came in. Peru came in early season Peruvian fruit that does not come off of our ranches, but we are able to secure through relationships as well as Californian fruit typically comes in during our second quarter. Those two things along with a couple of other relationships in Mexico helped us to get to more normalized levels. Short answer, yes, we were able to moderate and get to what we consider more normalized levels. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:20:16As we think about that moving forward, we feel like we're in a really good position with both our capacity in Mexico as well as our ability to leverage those resources and other sources to stay close to normal moving forward. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:20:30We are planning ahead for next year, assuming that second shift is not brought back. We are trying to mitigate that crimp that has put on us so far. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:20:40What Steve's referencing is we're putting in some additional capacity into some of our own pack houses in Mexico, actually leveraging some equipment from within our network and moving things around. We're not spending a lot of money on it, but we're adding about 25-50 loads to what we're able to do on a weekly basis, which will allow us to, if that situation compresses us in the future, be able to manage it within our own network moving forward. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:21:08Ben, I would just add that you kind of, as we move through the quarter, I think we still saw. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:21:12Some of these conditions in play during the month of February. It was really probably around the middle, early to mid March that we started to see improvement where California really started to harvest in meaningful volumes. Yeah, that's as soon as we get those other sources up and running, the leverage of the Mexico supplier decreases dramatically. We are able to balance things out much better. We are able to focus on only buying fruit that we can run through our own facilities. We can balance size curves across different countries of origin in order to avoid having to buy as much specifically sized fruit from individual co packers. The margin kind of trended along with that during the quarter that it was tighter in the early part and definitely ended kind of at a peak as we closed out the month of April. Ben CleveyAnalyst at Lake Street Capital Markets00:22:02Great, great, that's very helpful and glad to hear. Conditions improved throughout the period on the international markets. Totally understandable that the 72 hour tariff dynamic that you called out. I'm wondering on a kind of higher level if you can elaborate on changes in behavior that you observed throughout the period either from your suppliers or from your customers. In the context of all this tariff uncertainty, did everybody kind of operate as usual or was there any kind of any behavior from either side of the supply chain that you think is relevant to call out? John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:22:48God, Ben, I wish I could tell you everything was normal. The reality is, particularly back in January and February and March as we were going through a lot of the initial announcements, it felt like there was a lot more uncertainty at that point in time. You had moments in time where people were holding fruit back, not letting it cross, waiting for decisions to occur, sometimes doing things for 24-48 hours, which did not put any quality at risk, but was definitely lodging up trucks at borders and things like that. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:23:26By the time we got to the April timeframe, especially when the rest of the international tariffs went into place, I think most suppliers had become more comfortable with this was more than likely going to be business as usual, and regardless of what occurred, they would be able to handle it, especially at that 10% level. When the tariffs went into place on April 9, fruit was on the water. There were no disruptions in any ports or any changes. Really, it's been, I hate to knock on wood, it's been smooth sailing since then. There hasn't been a lot of disruption, even with some of the rhetoric in the marketplace about things being negotiated on the left side or the right side or in the Southern hemisphere or the Northern hemisphere. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:24:09It was that January, February, March time period where people were just acting a little skittish. Our relationships allowed us to get product when we needed to and how we needed to. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:24:17I'll add one bit onto that. I think when we looked at some of our, certainly Mexico is a big concern, as John alluded to, with the tariff rates as high as they were and price points peaking in March, the impact was very significant during that window. When that subsided, I think that the industry as a whole was fairly relieved in terms of making sure that we're going to have adequate supply into the market. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:24:39Colombia, Peru, some of the other import countries of origin as we move through the second quarter, still made up a fairly small percentage of the amount of fruit that's consumed in the U.S. That percentage is going to increase as we move into Q3 and Q4, but overall volume is going to increase as well, which is going to help keep price or moderate price, bring it down a little bit from these high levels that it was running at. My feeling is to the consumer, the. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:25:07Impact of having greater supply available in. Bryan GilesCFO at Mission Produce00:25:10The market, the impact that will have on pricing will likely offset any impact that comes through in the form of higher tariffs. Ben CleveyAnalyst at Lake Street Capital Markets00:25:21Got it. That's helpful. I'm sure it was a dizzying period, but it's good to hear that things have somewhat stabilized. One more for me and then I'll get back in queue. Is around the mango business. This thing has really just been on a tear for some time and I'm curious. Two things. One, you talked about market share gains. Can you educate us on what your market share is at this point? Then on a TTM basis, the mango represents about $70 million of revenue. I'm curious how big this crop can get within your current infrastructure before you would need to invest in some kind of expansion initiative? Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:26:09Let's start with the mango itself. It's the number one consumed fruit in the world, not necessarily here in the U.S. but it's growing, growing. As you can see, we are already the second largest mango distributor in the United States. We have number one turned around looking at us, wondering which way we're going to go. It's a great complement to our avocado business that utilizes all the facilities including ripe rooms, trucks and customers. It's exceeding expectations and I think it will continue to going forward. Just as a large picture of what's going on, I would add to that. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:26:50Just to answer your question around the market share piece, about 12 months ago we were approximately somewhere below 5% market share. This year as we sit here today, we're closer to that next 5% threshold of the 10%. We're very happy with that. We're very happy with the relationships we have with our customers. All the things Steve mentioned as we were going through the prepared remarks are true in regards to our ability to program out year long. Now our farms themselves add a significant advantage to us in regards to our ability to have that fruit during that time of year. Number one, the quality is outstanding. Number two, we can really lock in good programmatic pricing for our customers and we can do it all around the country because we're pulling in fruit to multiple ports and through multiple DCs. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:27:42It's not just a regional play for us. We're able to help our customers regardless of where they are, regardless of how big their footprint is. As we think about the future, there's still a lot of room in the output of that ranch in Peru. Those trees are really just starting to mature, so there's room for them to grow. I think there's probably three to four years of productivity increases that will help us continue to push more volume through our network and hit that next 5% threshold as we think about market share. The other piece is we're continuing to build relationships all over the world. It's not just the Peruvian fruit that's going to make that difference for us. It's building more grower relationships in Mexico and Brazil. John PawlowskiPresident and COO at Mission Produce00:28:27In Ecuador and other places like that that we've already started to generate great returns from in regards to availability of fruit and only put more effort into that moving forward. Ben CleveyAnalyst at Lake Street Capital Markets00:28:39Very good. Ben CleveyAnalyst at Lake Street Capital Markets00:28:40It's impressive work over the past couple of years and look forward to watching that continue here going forward. Congratulations again. Ben CleveyAnalyst at Lake Street Capital Markets00:28:48Nice quarter. Ben CleveyAnalyst at Lake Street Capital Markets00:28:49Thanks for taking my questions and I'll get back in queue. Thank you. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:28:53Okay, thanks, Ben. Operator00:28:56Thank you. There are no further questions at this time. I'd like to hand the floor back over to management for any closing remarks. Steve BarnardCEO at Mission Produce00:29:02[audio distortion], thanks for your interest in Mission Produce and we look forward to speaking to you again next quarter. Operator00:29:14Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's conference call. We thank you for attending.
