Thank you, Chris, and thank you for joining us for our third quarter 2025.

We delivered another quarter of steady progress supported by strong execution across our portfolio.

We saw continued gross margin expansion in our fresh and value-added product segment, and our pine apple program continues to perform well.

Overall, our 3rd quarter results affect our ongoing shift towards higher margin value-added categories, a key driver of profitable growth.

We also took important steps this quarter to enhance long-term productivity and strengthen our financial performance.

Most notably We entered into an agreement to divest the operations of man packing.

A business that has not met our profitability expectations.

We believe this divers will strengthen our overall margin profile and enhance.

Capital efficiency going forward.

While these decisions are never easy, they underscore our disciplined approach to managing performance and ensuring that every part of our business contributes meaningfully to our bottom line.

I would like to discuss a challenge facing the entire industry.

The mounting pressure on global banana production which I addressed last quarter and has since then only intensified.

Tropical Ras 4, which is known as TR4.

Was confirmed in Ecuador.

One of the world's largest banana producers.

Making a serious escalation in Latin America after previous detections in Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela.

It is a highly contagious soil-borne disease with no cure.

And it's already destabilizing the region.

In Peru, where TR4 was first detected in 2021.

The impact is noticeable in the Pura region.

The country's leading producer of organic bananas.

A recent study found that 45% of farms are already infected.

And about 10% have been completely eradicated.

Small growers are under mounting pressure as black Caoga spreads and TR4 reaches new countries.

With already thin margins across the sector, rising disease control costs are making survival increasingly difficult.

At Del Monte, we have been preparing for these challenges for years.

We are advancing work on TR4 resistant banana varieties, an essential step toward long-term resilience.

But solutions of that scale take time.

In the meantime, growers, large and small are taking every possible measure to control these diseases.

Each year these efforts are becoming more demanding as the situation further deteriorates.

Placing new financial strains on growers across the industry.

We are seeing the impact clearly in Costa Rica.

As of August 25th, Production in the industry has declined 22% year over year.

Which is roughly 18 million boxes lost.

With most of that loss stemming directly from blackstoga.

For a country long recognized for its agricultural efficiency.

That's a significant and concerning decline.

One that inevitably drives costs higher across the industry.

Demand for bananas remains strong.

What's shifting is the balance between supply and demand.

And the underlying economics of the category.

Understanding that shift is essential for everyone involved.

Sustaining this category over the long-term would require closer alignment across the value chain.

Ensuring that pressures in the fields are understood and shared throughout the supply chain.

The farmer can no longer absorb these rising costs.

It is easy to take the bananas for granted. Simple, familiar, always there.

But behind that simplicity lies one of agriculture's most coordinated and collaborative supply chains.

Protecting it is our shared responsibility, and if we don't act collectively to support growers and stabilize this supply chain.

We risk seeing this fruit and the livelihoods behind it disappear before our eyes.

That reality weighs heavily on me and drives much of our focus today.

With that, I will turn it over to Monica Vicente, our CFO, to discuss our financial results.

Thank you, Mr. Abu Ghazzali, and good morning to everyone and thank you for joining us today.

Before reviewing our quarterly financials, I'd like to highlight several strategic actions we took during the quarter to strengthen our portfolio and drive long-term value.

We took important decisions to streamline operations and reallocate capital toward higher performing areas, which resulted in an impairment charge totaling $56 million.

18 million relates to the planned divestiture of man packing.

Which Mr. Abugali already mentioned. This supports our strategy to simplify operations and prioritize higher growth, higher margin categories.

We acquired Packing in 2018 and have now entered into an agreement to sell the business, including substantially all operating assets.

The buyer, Church Brothers Farms, will acquire machinery and equipment and customer lists for $19 million plus the value of inventory at closing.

The transaction excludes certain real property, including our Gonzalez California facility, which we've agreed to these for under a five-year agreement with a renewal and purchase options.

This divestiture is expected to close during the 4th quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

Man packing contributed $174 million in net sales during the first nine months but was a headwind to our strategic margin targets for the fresh and value-added product segment.

We had previously pursued streamlining efforts. However, after further evaluation, we determined that a full divestiture better aligns with our long-term strategy.

During the quarter, we also recorded 37 million in impairment and other charges related to underperforming banana farms in the Philippines.

Which served our Asia and Middle East markets.

Despite efforts to improve yields and manage costs, the farms continue to underperform, impacting profitability.

After reassessing performance, we made the decision to abandon operations at these farms.

This move enables us to reallocate resources to more productive supply channels.

Continuing with our broader efficiency efforts, we sold a break bulk shipping vessel from our fleet during the quarter.

And recently completed the sale of a second vessel.

This reflects our continued shift away from legacy break both vessels.

And we remain committed to our vertically integrated logistics model and operate 6 modern vessels supporting our global supply chain.

Let's now review our financial results for the 3rd quarter of 2025, including adjusted results, which exclude the impact of demand packing divestiture.

As Christine mentioned, reconciliations are available in today's press release and earnings presentation in our website.

Net sales were a billion 22 million.

The increase reflects higher net sales in our banana and other product services segments.

Primarily driven by higher per unit selling prices in our banana segments. Contributing factors included the impact of tariff-related price adjustments in North America and the favorable impact of fluctuations in exchange rates related to the EUR.

The increase was partially offset by lower sales volume in our fresh cut vegetable product line due to operational reductions taken during the 4th quarter of 2024.

Adjusted net sales were 960 million.

Gross profit was 81 million. The decrease was primarily driven by higher per unit production and procurement costs in the banana segment, along with increased distribution costs.

Gross margin decreased to 7.9%. Adjusted gross profit was 88 million and adjusted gross margin decreased to 9.2%. Despite margin compression, this quarter reflects the resilience of our core business strength and early progress from our shift toward higher margin value-added categories.

We expect margin recovery and improved efficiency ahead, supported by the man packing divestiture and continued cost discipline.

We reported an operating loss of 22 million, which reflects higher asset impairment and exit charges related to the underperforming banana farms in the Philippines and the impairment charges associated with dive vestiture of man packing.

Along with lower gross profit in the current period.

On an adjusted basis, operating income was 40 million.

Net loss attributable to Fredamante was $29 million while on an adjusted basis, net income attributed to Fredamante was $33 million.

Our diluted earnings per share with a loss of $0.61.

And adjusted diluted earnings per share with income of $0.69.

Adjusted EBITA was 58 million. We expect adjusted EBITA margin to improve due to continued gross margin momentum in our fresh and value-added product segment and disciplined cost management.

Let's take a closer look at the financial performance of our business segments, starting with our fresh and value-added product segment.

Net sales were $611 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower per unit selling prices in our avocado product line, driven by increased industry supply and lower net sales in our fresh cut vegetable product line following the operational reductions implemented during the 4th quarter of 2024 previously mentioned.

Offsetting factors included higher sales volume and per unit selling prices in our fresh fruit product line, and increase per unit selling prices in our pineapple product line.

Along with tariff-related price adjustments in North America.

Adjusted net sales were $548 million.

Gross profit was 68 million. The increase was driven by higher per unit selling prices in the pineapple and fresh cut fruit product lines.

Gross margin increased to 11.2%. An adjusted gross profit was $76 million with adjusted gross margin increased to 13.9%. We aim to sustain gross margins in the low to mid 10s for this segment, driven by continued improvements in our product mix.

Within this segment. Now moving to the banana.

Reporting segment. Net sales were 358 million.

The increase was driven by higher per unit selling prices across all regions, including the favorable impact of fluctuations and exchange rates.

Combined with the tariff related price adjustments in North America, and higher sales volume in the Middle East.

These gains were partially offset by lower sales volume in Asia and North America, reflecting softness in market demand during the quarter.

Gross profit was 5 million, and the decrease was driven by higher per unit production and procurement costs due to adverse weather conditions in our growing regions in the first half of this year.

Increased distribution costs along with an allowance recorded on a receivable from an independent grower in Asia.

Gross margin decreased to 1.3%. Adjusted gross profit was $4 million and adjusted gross margin decreased to 1.2%. Lastly, our other products and services segment.

Net sales were $53 million. The increase was a result of higher net sales in our third-party freight services business, partially offset by lower per unit selling prices in our poultry and meats business.

Gross profit was 8 million.

The decrease was due to lower net sales and higher production costs in our poultry and meats business.

Gross margin decreased to 14.8%. Now moving to selected financial results for the 3rd quarter of 2025.

Our income tax provision was $4 million. The decrease was primarily driven by lower earnings in certain higher tax jurisdictions.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $234 million for the first nine months. The increase was primarily due to working capital fluctuations, mainly lower accounts receivable driven by timing of collections and reduced finished goods inventory.

At the end of the 3rd quarter of 2025, our long-term debt stood at 173 million.

Our adjusted leverage ratio remains well below 1 times EBITDA.

Capital expenditures for the 1st 9 months of 2025 totaled 36 million.

Investments during the quarter focused on enhancing our banana and pineapple operations in Central America, upgrading operations and production facilities in North America, along with improving our pineapple operation in Kenya.

As announced in our press release, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of 7of 3 per share.

Payable on December 5, 2025, to shareholders of record as of November 12, 2025.

On an annualized basis, this equates to $1.20 per share, representing a dividend yield of 3.4% based on our current share price.

During the third quarter, we repurchased just over 200,000 shares of our common stock for $7 million at an average price of 35 & 65 per share.

We still have 135 million available under our share repurchase program.

Taken together, these actions reflect our commitment to delivering long-term value, supported by a strong sustainable dividend and a balanced capital allocation strategy that includes opportunistic share repurchases.

With that, let's turn to the outlook for the remainder remainder of the year and the strategic priorities.

We continue to expect net sales growth of approximately 2% year over year consistent with our prior guidance.

As far as gross margins by business segment, in our fresh and value-added product segment, excluding the impact of the divestiture of man packing, gross margin is expected to be in the 11% to 13% range, primarily driven by strong performance in our pineapple product line and favorable product mix.

While the divestiture of man packing is scheduled to close on December 15th, we expect to begin to begin realizing the benefits of this streamlined portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2025 with a more pronounced impact on profitability and margin performance in 2026.

In our banana segment, gross margin is expected to compress below the historical 5% to 7% range, approaching 4%.

Due to lower industry-wide supply and cost pressures from disease treatments, as well as weather-related disruptions which continue to cause shipping delays and port congestion, both factors have significantly increased our costs.

It's important to remember that with the banana segment, our focus remains on margin discipline over volume, and we continue to prioritize product quality and reliability for our customers, even in the face of these extraordinary challenges.

Bananas remain a foundational part of our product portfolio, essential for meeting customer expectations and supporting our broader commercial strategy, even if it's not a driver of growth.

For our products and services segment, gross margin is expected to be in the range of 10% to 12%.

Slightly below prior expectations.

This reflects lower selling prices in our poultry and meats business, which are pressuring margins.

Selling general and administrative expenses are expected to be in the range of 205 million to 207 million.

Regarding CapEx, we now expect our full year spend to be in the range of 60 million to 70 million, down from 70 million to 80 million previously communicated.

This reflects updated project timelines.

Netcast provided by operating activities, is expected to exceed the previously guided range of 180 to 190 million, coming closer to 190 to 200 million.

In closing, we continue to actively manage external pressures, including elevated operating costs and macroeconomic uncertainty.

The strategic actions we've taken this year streamlining our portfolio, reallocating capital, and enhancing supply chain resilience, position us to navigate the rest of the year with agility and focus.

These actions reflect our commitment to disciplined execution and long-term value creation.

This concludes our financial review. We can now turn the call over to Q&A, Regina.

We will now begin the question-and-answer session. In order to ask a question, press star, followed by the number one on your telephone keypad. Our first question will come from the line of Mitch Panero with Sturdivant and Company. Please go ahead.

Yeah, hey, good morning.

Good morning.

So Well, start out with a look at the fresh and value-added segment, the.

So the adjusted gross margin was kind of eye opening at 13.9%.

And I know you're sort of guiding, 11 to 13 as, sort of your gross margin expectation, but is I guess it's 13%.

The new normal for this for this business.

I think we're getting there, Mitch. I think we'll be getting very close to that margin consistently. So yeah, you can see that the adjusted gross margin this quarter was very They like you said, it's an eye opening now that we've excluded men, so we do expect to be Very close to the 13%. We're still being cautious, we're doing the 11% to 13%, but we feel confident about this segment.

And so I haven't seen the queue yet, but I'm curious Pineapples obviously the supply has been down right now, but you're getting some pricing.

Are your costs up in pineapples as well, like you talked about the bananas and, more cost for on the, at the farm level, but is there, and actually at the port, shipping, but is our pineapple, margins still going to be your strongest of your in that segment?

Yes, that's a fact. And when it comes to cost, of course the pineapple, thanks God doesn't have the same diseases or same, kind of plagues that is happening to the bananas. So we don't see, increases in terms of applications of certain chemicals to to our farms, in the pineapple business. So pineapple does not. Definitely there is, inflation adjusted cost increases, which is normal, on the labor side or other services, but all in all it's it's a normal kind of environment, so we don't expect.

Significant cost increases of pineapples.

And you're right, I mean, the pineapple category is, volumes are more or less static.

And the demand is in general outstripping supplies. So, as we speak today, we don't have enough to allocate to every customer that we have. So it's more selective today than being in the past.

Yeah, I've noticed, you were obviously the leader in sort of innovation and pineapples and the marketing around it, but I'm also seeing some of your competitors start to like I guess dole start to TRY to emulate some new product varieties and I was wondering if it, it's essentially raising the value of the, of the fruit, with continued innovation and improved quality. Is that, do you get the sense Consumers Noticed that?

Well, yes, of course, I mean, we, yeah, I mean the better kind, the better food that you deliver to the market, the more ripe, the more higher sugar content, better, sweetness or taste definitely have an influence on the consumption and the and the buyer kind of appetite to buy it and there is no question that, we, I think as Del Monte we have been, pioneer and at the forefront of innovation and development, and I wish everybody else good luck with whatever they are doing, but I mean, Del Monte has a history of being, the forefront into this, and I think that would remain in place.

And you still see, from a supply point of view, when, what's your best estimate for when you start to see demand supply recover.

I don't think that supply is going to, as we go forward years ahead, there is not too much land left and in Costa Rica we cannot double production, for instance, it's impossible, or let's say 20% or 30% more than what is happening right now. And Costa Rica is the major producing country in all Latin America, I think.

So, and it's not easy to grow pineapples anywhere you want, land is restricted environment as well concerns are part of this, restrictions on additional acreage or additional, production.

So I believe consumption on a global level is going to increase, and we see that actually not only in North America, but we see that in Europe, we see that in the Middle East, we see that in Asia. It's a growing, let's say commodity.

It's becoming more fashionable for people to eat more pineapples and especially because of the good quality of these pineapples today, so. I can tell you, the Middle East, we are almost 100%, in the market. I mean, and because of our proximity from Kenya into the onto these markets.

Our Brazilian plantations are in progress right now and then about 3 years from now we will start having production out of Brazil, which will be the only company anywhere in the world that has production of ND2 gold pineapple in Brazil.

So that that will kick in, it may take some time, but I think that will be very significant for us going forward in the future, and we're looking at other areas of expanding pineapples as well as we speak. So I mean in terms of our positioning, in the pineapple are very confident and comfortable actually with our pineapple business going forward in the future.

Okay, and then just just two more questions on the fresh and value-added avocados, I know, supplies.

Is strong and pricing has been down. Do you see that kind of reversing here in the in the the next 6 months.

As you see a pricing firming, I should say.

It could happen, because actually, with Peru increasing volumes, with Colombia increasing volumes, and other countries Chile and California and, the Mexicans did not have that opportunity. I mean, if you look at the prices year over year, I think that period, we were talking about $70.60 dollars, $70.80 dollars a box of avocado. Now it's selling for almost half of that. So you can see the impact on the revenue itself. I mean, as a seller ourselves, of course that will impact our revenue, selling the same volume for 80 or 70 or 60 rather than selling at 30 or 35, that makes a huge difference. But there could be maybe a pick up, during the next 2 or 3 months because Mexico will be more or less.

Exclusive in one way in terms of supply to North America, but I think it will not be a long-term kind of.

Escalated, escalation in prices. I think that prices would remain more or less in the region that we are seeing right now between maybe $30.50 dollars, but not more.

And remember, Mitch, we buy the product from the grower, so we have the margin based on what we buy and sell. So even though the sale price is much lower, our cost is lower as well. So our margins have stayed pretty.

Pretty more or less even from last year, so unfortunately impacts our sales, but a margin is not impacted as much.

Yeah, and then, so but with buy with pricing coming down, shouldn't that, would you expect to see, stronger volume consumption?

Well, I don't see the prices of the retail to be really reflecting that adjusted.

Yeah, I'm.

A big buyer of avocados and I'm still paying the same.

Yeah.

Okay So I just I'm switching gears to, well I did want to ask you about how your fresh cut fruit business is doing. I didn't see any comments around that.

They're doing, yeah, no, Prescott is doing excellent as well, like, we view that together with the pineapple is one of the primary products, and it's it performed very well during the quarter and we expect to continue with a strong performance.

I don't remember if I mentioned, earlier last year that we started fresh guacamole, offering fresh guacamole in the market.

And we started this new category which is 100% fresh guacamole.

And it was like we started from zero, and today I think we will end at the end of this year with about $8 million in revenue on that category alone. So that tells you where our innovation is and where we're going.

And looking for a reasonably good.

Yes I just want to move on to the banana business.

So a pretty, you were laid out the issues, pretty well, from a category. What I was curious about was Why Banana volume or consumption in North America. I'm not sure what it is in Europe, but why consumption is down. I've asked before. We won't, we really don't know, I guess, but I was wondering if you have any recent insights as to banana consumption.

Well, it's seasonal.

I would believe, during the summer with all the summer fruits availability, and people usually during the summer would go for more, let's say like watermelon and melons and grapes so I think it's not a trend. I think it's a hiccup. Bananas more or less consumption wise will be. Will be stable.

I don't believe that we will see a huge drop into banana consumption in terms of consumer appetite, but my, the problem is that the costs are going up and.

The prices are not moving in the same direction, so, and that is the dilemma here, I mean, and the diseases are not going away. The disease is continuing and spreading and intensifying as a matter of fact.

So, if you remember a few years back I said that we will see bananas at $20 a box. We are almost there. I mean today, if you look at Ecuador. Just the fruit alone is around $11 to $12 per box, just the fruit, aside from all the other costs of packaging and, services. So, if you add up everything, you're talking about would be $16 $15 $16 $17 and even more.

Per box, so we are talking about, I mean substantial increases and the most important thing which people do not really Focus on is the Siatoga spread in in in in Central America as well as I mentioned earlier, the TR for disease which it, it's not if it's when it's just a matter of time when it's going to be spreading and we saw that in the Philippines and the Right off or that we took, the Philippines and we saw yesterday. It was because of that. I mean, we became, I mean, the disease has no matter what you do.

It's like losing battle, against that disease, I mean you can replant and then 3 years later, 4 years later you lose the tree again.

So this is really people don't understand and realize, how serious this this issue is, and this is going to happen, be it tomorrow or after a year or 2 or 3, it's going to happen. It's going to come, and I can assure you that that disease does not stop. It spreads. It's just a matter of time.

And Mitch, you see our margin for the banana suffer this quarter, and we're projecting closer to 4% for the year. The impact of the sygaoka is very significant, not only because you have lower volume coming out of the ground, but the cost to protect the farms from scigaoka is very high, so it's very obvious based on our results the impact of these diseases.

So, the one thing, bananas, obviously, I guess the largest category of fruit, I guess in the United States and maybe apples are or but certainly hugely important and with all these added costs and the margins have always been kind of thin.

You'd expect pricing to rise, but there's always been some element of irrationality.

Among all the major players and in pricing, maybe that you excluded, but, my question is I noticed that the four largest banana producers formed a new organization, BANA, you dole, Fees and.

The other one, whatever it is.

Yeah and and that and then.

Does that, is this level of cooperation maybe a sign down the road that there's going to be a little more rationality to the quarter and banana pricing relative to the increase in costs and lower supply?

I don't think that that association or that kind of gathering by the four banana companies was mainly to streamline the business better and nothing to do with actually influencing volumes of pricing in the market. It's rather than to understand the business better and trying to find solutions, in terms of hopefully, agriculture practices and Other logistical issues, but the point here makes people don't understand and don't get it that all of a sudden one day everybody will wake up and all of a sudden there is not enough bananas to and we see that in other countries in the world, I mean, I see that in the Philippines. I saw that in Africa all of a sudden, over the years the banana production is totally lost.

And or 50%-60% down on the previous, I mean, on the normal trend. And this is going to happen, I mean, and we can see that actually as we speak right now in Ecuador is the largest producer of bananas in the world.

And right now you can see that the production is not picking up as it used to be.

And that's an indication of what's going on in the industry, and people don't understand that, I've been all my life in this in this business, and I know and I can anticipate, things, and I believe that there will come a time that there will be a huge drop in production. And as you can see as a company ourselves, we are very careful, we are very stringent and we are very, we calculate our steps. I mean, we're not here to lose money. I mean we are here to make money to our shareholders.

And we will do whatever is necessary to streamline our business in the best way we can, be it on bananas or any other item. And I think for bananas in particular, there will come a time that people realize that there is not enough bananas in the market and the prices will shoot up.

In a way that will be a shock to the market and that's the reality, that if people really take this into consideration.

It's better to Really improve conditions for the growing side of bananas and supply side in order to maintain stability and continuity, but it's it's a short-term, in my opinion, short-term vision and short-term kind of.

Strategy that is happening right now. It's just like Monica mentioned a few minutes ago, I mean the chemical that we applied to Siatoga, which is the black, it turns the leaves into totally black, and then we lose the bunches on the on the tree.

The price of this product, the chemical, which is the only one in the world, you don't have a choice. You only have one product that you need to use.

And that product has increased over the last two years by over 40%, 50%.

And still going up and you have no choice. Either you spray and the problem that the disease is getting immunity. I mean that disease is becoming. Adapting to that chemical, so you need to apply more to TRY to prevent it or control it. It's a vicious circle, if you don't apply or if you don't apply enough, you will lose more fruit.

But if you're going to apply more cycles into into the field, that means more cost to you.

So, it's really, I mean, if you look at our cost, it's about $1.30 dollars $40 per box just for these chemical alone applications.

So, I think that's the reality of the of the situation.

So, 1 of the questions about the black iggaoga is.

1 other mitigation effort, it can be, fewer trees, more less canopy.

More sunlight.

That is exactly what I said Earlier 18 million boxes down in Costa Rica production on a national level. That's mainly because of Sicaoga. It's not because of anything else, mainly because of Sicaoga.

Right.

So, okay, I got this, and.

And if this happens in Ecuador, and this happens in Guatemala, if this happens in Panama, it's the same story.

Okay, and then just one other question, and. Tariffs across your entire, portfolio, how much did tariffs Add to the top-line.

We haven't given that that number, Mitch, but, we did, we were able to pass on the tariffs in North America, but we haven't given the number.

Okay, it's really minimal. It's not much. It's minimal.

All right, and that's all I have. I appreciate the time.

Pleasure.

Thank you much. Thank You.

Once again, for any questions, press 1 on your telephone keypad.

And that will conclude our question-and-answer session. I will now turn the call back over to Mr. Abu Ghazzali for closing remarks.

Thank you, everyone. I appreciate joining us today and hope to talk to you in the next call. Have a good day.

That will conclude today's call.

Thank you all for joining. You may now disconnect.
