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, Net Debt and Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations 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 Fresh Vegetables results are reported separately as discontinued operations, net of income taxes, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, its assets and liabilities are separately presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and its cash flows are presented separately in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, our discussion of our results included herein, outlook and all supplementary tables, including non-GAAP financial measures, are presented on a continuing operations basis.

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

“We are very pleased that our momentum from the first half of the year has continued into the third quarter. We delivered another strong set of results, with Revenue growth of 4.2% and Adjusted EBITDA growth of 7.6%.

As we move towards the end of the financial year, our strong result for the first nine months positions us to deliver a good result for the year and we are now targeting Adjusted EBITDA for 2023 of at least $365.0 million.

Once again, we would like to extend our appreciation to all of our people across the Group for their dedication and efforts in delivering these results.”

Group Results - Third Quarter

Revenue increased 4.2%, or $82.0 million, primarily due to strong performance in the Diversified EMEA segment, offset partially by the Diversified Americas and Fresh Fruit segments. On a like-for-like basis3, revenue was 1.2%, or $23.6 million, ahead of prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 7.6%, or $6.0 million, primarily driven by stronger performance in the Diversified Americas and Diversified EMEA segments. On a like-for-like basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased 4.2%, or $3.4 million.

Adjusted Net Income decreased $3.6 million, predominantly due to higher interest expense and tax expense, offset by the increases in Adjusted EBITDA as noted above and lower depreciation. Adjusted Diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.24 compared to $0.28 in the prior year.

____________________

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

Fresh Fruit

Revenue decreased 0.3%, or $2.1 million. Revenue was negatively impacted by lower banana prices in North America, partially offset by higher worldwide volumes of bananas sold, an increase in worldwide pricing of pineapples and stronger pricing of bananas in Europe.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 8.6%, or $4.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA was primarily impacted by lower revenue, higher fruit sourcing costs and a decrease in commercial cargo activity, partially offset by lower shipping and logistics costs, as well as by strong pricing excluding the impact of fuel surcharges.

Diversified Fresh Produce – EMEA

Revenue increased 12.7%, or $96.4 million, primarily driven by a favorable impact from foreign currency translation of $54.4 million, inflation-justified price increases across the segment and a positive impact from acquisitions of $5.5 million. On a like-for-like basis, revenue was 4.8%, or $36.5 million, ahead of prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 13.8%, or $4.2 million, primarily driven by a favorable impact from foreign currency translation of $2.0 million, an incremental positive impact from acquisitions of $0.2 million and strong performance in Ireland, the U.K., Spain and Holland. On a like-for-like basis, Adjusted EBITDA was 6.6%, or $2.0 million, ahead of prior year.

Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas & ROW

Revenue decreased 2.0%, or $9.8 million, primarily driven by lower revenue for berries in North America, as well as by lower volumes of most other commodities, partially offset by inflation-justified price increases.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 693.0%, or $6.0 million, primarily due to continued strong performance in most products that we market in North America, as well as by a favorable comparison to the three months ended September 2022, which had a challenging end to the Chilean grapes season due to abnormal supply chain disruption. These increases were partially offset by a challenging quarter for berries in North America.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $51.3 million, which included investments in farm renovations and ongoing investments in IT, logistics and efficiency projects in our warehouses and processing facilities. This amount only includes capital expenditures from continuing operations.

Sales of Assets

Sales of assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $64.1 million, compared to $27.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. These sales resulted in a gain on asset sales of $43.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was driven by $45.5 million of cash proceeds received during the three months ended September 30, 2023, resulting in a gain of $28.7 million. These proceeds were predominantly from the sale of idle land in Hawaii, which realized cash proceeds of $44.0 million.

Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations and Net Debt

Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations was $105.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations benefited from strong Adjusted EBITDA performance for the first nine months of the year and good working capital management across the Group. Net Debt as of September 30, 2023 was $0.9 billion.

Outlook for Fiscal Year 2023 (forward-looking statement)

We are very pleased with the Group’s performance in the first nine months of the year, delivering $308.3 million of Adjusted EBITDA.

While the wider macro-environment continues to remain complex and impacts from weather events remain unpredictable, we remain confident in the strength of our diversified supply base and the experience and quality of our operating teams across the globe to deal with challenges as they arise.

Overall, our strong results for the first nine months position us well to deliver a good result for the year and we are now targeting Adjusted EBITDA for 2023 of at least $365.0 million.

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 and Net Debt, 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) adding the loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes; (2) adding the income tax expense or subtracting the income tax benefit; (3) adding interest expense; (4) adding mark to market losses or subtracting 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; (5) other items which are separately stated based on materiality, which during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, included adding or subtracting asset write-downs from extraordinary events, net of insurance proceeds, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the disposal of business interests, adding the incremental costs from the fair value uplift for biological assets related to the acquisition of Legacy Dole, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the sale of investments accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on asset sales for assets held for sale and actively marketed property, adding restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the ordinary course of business and adding costs incurred for the cyber-related incident; and (6) the Company’s share of these items from equity method investments.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated from GAAP net income by: (1) adding the loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes; (2) adding the income tax expense or subtracting the income tax benefit; (3) adding interest expense; (4) adding depreciation charges; (5) adding amortization charges on intangible assets; (6) adding mark to market losses or subtracting 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; (7) other items which are separately stated based on materiality, which during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, included adding or subtracting asset write-downs from extraordinary events, net of insurance proceeds, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the disposal of business interests, adding the incremental costs from the fair value uplift for biological assets related to the acquisition of Legacy Dole, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the sale of investments accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on asset sales for assets held for sale and actively marketed property, adding restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the ordinary course of business and adding costs incurred for the cyber-related incident; and (8) the Company’s share of these items from equity method investments.

Adjusted Net Income is calculated from GAAP net income attributable to Dole plc by: (1) adding the loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes; (2) adding amortization charges on intangible assets; (3) adding mark to market losses or subtracting 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 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, included adding or subtracting asset write-downs from extraordinary events, net of insurance proceeds, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the disposal of business interests, adding the incremental costs from the fair value uplift for biological assets related to the acquisition of Legacy Dole, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the sale of investments accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on asset sales for assets held for sale and actively marketed property, adding restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the ordinary course of business and adding costs incurred for the cyber-related incident; (5) the Company’s share of these items from equity method investments; (6) excluding the tax effect of these items and discrete tax adjustments; and (7) 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.

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 unamortized debt discounts and debt issuance costs.

Free cash flow from continuing operations is calculated from GAAP net cash provided by operating activities for continuing operations less GAAP capital expenditures.

Like-for-like basis refers to the U.S. GAAP measure or non-GAAP financial measure excluding the impact of foreign currency translation movements and acquisitions and divestitures.

Dole is not able to provide a reconciliation for projected FY'23 results without taking unreasonable efforts.
