CEO Message
Steve Barnard, Founder and CEO of Mission Produce commented, “We advanced our position with retailers during fiscal fourth quarter through a successful activation of our Peruvian program. Mission’s ability to deliver consistent, high-quality fruit during the Mexican off-season is a clear advantage of our vertical integration. These capabilities, combined with our expanding network of ripening and distribution assets, provide us with the tools to penetrate new and growing markets in Europe and Asia.”
Mr. Barnard continued, “While we are pleased with the commercial traction we are having with customers for our Peruvian production, our fiscal fourth quarter financial performance was impacted by a confluence of variables, especially with regard to the rapid decline in pricing, which undermined our ability to drive the per-unit margins that we have generated historically. Persistent cost inflation, combined with a suboptimal size curve from our owned production and, a delay to our seasonal transition to the Mexican production resulted in an unfavorable mix, lower relative pricing, and temporary margin compression.
“With respect to 2023, we see a more normal marketplace emerging — highlighted by better and more consistent supply conditions — which provides a constructive foundation for the industry to drive consumption and expand growth in new geographies. We are prepared to meet demand during the upcoming peak Super Bowl season, and expect to produce improved operating performance for the full year 2023.”
Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2022 Consolidated Financial Review
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was flat compared to the same period last year, including the Blueberries segment consolidation which was not comparable to the prior year period. Average selling price decreases of 10% were largely offset by a 6% increase in avocado volume sold. Per-unit avocado sales prices decreased due to higher industry supply and was exacerbated by an unfavorable mix of larger fruit from the Company’s owned production in Peru. Avocado volume sold increased due to the Company’s larger Peruvian harvest combined with higher volumes from Mexico as the industry transitioned to its new harvest season. The impact was partially offset by lower California volumes, which were attributed to the accelerated harvest brought about by high pricing in the early part of the season.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter decreased $6.9 million or 20%, to $26.9 million, and gross profit percentage decreased 296 basis points to 11.3% of revenue. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by lower per-unit margins in both the International Farming and Marketing & Distribution segments. International Farming segment margin was impacted by lower average selling prices combined with significant inflation experienced in logistics, farming and packing costs. Marketing & Distribution segment margin was pressured by our lack of California supply to market during the quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) for the fourth quarter increased $4.0 million to $19.5 million, primarily due to higher employee-related costs driven by higher stock-based compensation expense and labor inflation, as well as non-capitalizable ERP implementation costs and nonrecurring process re-engineering costs related to the ERP system in the Company’s Marketing & Distribution segment. The consolidation of Moruga increased SG&A by $1.2 million, which included amortization of an intangible asset recognized at acquisition.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $(42.0) million, or $(0.59) per diluted share, compared to net income of $16.9 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the same period last year, and includes a non-cash charge of $49.5 million related to goodwill impairment within the International Farming segment.
Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $9.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to $17.0 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the same period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $17.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $26.4 million for the same period last year, due primarily to lower per-unit gross margins and higher SG&A costs, partially offset by the impact of higher avocado volume sold.
Fiscal Fourth Quarter Business Segment Performance
Marketing & Distribution
Net sales in the Marketing & Distribution segment decreased 4% to $221.2 million for the quarter, due to the same drivers impacting consolidated revenue.
Segment adjusted EBITDA decreased $4.4 million or 52% to $4.0 million, due to the same drivers impacting consolidated adjusted EBITDA.
International Farming
Substantially all sales of fruit from the International Farming segment are to the Marketing and Distribution segment, with the remainder of revenue largely derived from services provided to third parties and the Blueberries segment. Affiliated sales are concentrated in the second half of the fiscal year in alignment with the Peruvian avocado harvest season, which typically runs from April through August of each year. As a result, adjusted EBITDA for International Farming is generally concentrated in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year in alignment with the timing of sales. The Company operates approximately 300 hectares of mangos in Peru that are largely in an early-stage of production. The timing of the mango harvest is concentrated in the fiscal second quarter and, as a result, mangos have a more pronounced impact on segment financial performance during this timeframe.
Total segment sales in the International Farming segment increased $9.4 million, or 31% in the three months ended October 31, 2022 compared to the same period last year, due to higher affiliated sales driven by an increase in avocado volume harvested and sold. Segment affiliated sales reflect the consideration returned to the International Farming segment net of logistics costs, the most significant of which is ocean freight.
Segment adjusted EBITDA decreased $5.8 million or 32% to $12.2 million primarily due to lower per -box margins, driven by significant inflation experienced in logistics, farming and packing costs. Inability to drive higher pricing was impacted by an unfavorable mix of larger fruit from the Company’s owned production in Peru.
Blueberries
Net sales in the Blueberries segment in the three months ended October 31, 2022 were $10.5 million. Segment adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended October 31, 2022 was $1.0 million.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Cash and cash equivalents were $52.8 million as of October 31, 2022 compared to $84.5 million as of October 31, 2021.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $35.2 million for fiscal year 2022 compared to $47.0 million last year, reflecting net loss in the current year compared to net income in the prior year, partially offset by improvements in working capital. Working capital was primarily impacted by favorable movement in accounts receivable, partially offset by unfavorable movement in inventory. Accounts receivable as of October 31, 2022 was lower compared to prior year, as a result of per-unit sales prices trending lower during the fourth quarter. Changes in inventory were primarily driven by the consolidation of Moruga and the timing of its respective inventory build at our fiscal year end.
Capital expenditures were $61.2 million for the fiscal year 2022, compared to $73.4 million last year. Current year expenditures were concentrated in the purchase of farmland in Peru as well as land improvements and orchard development in Peru and Guatemala.
Outlook
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company is providing the following industry outlook that will drive performance as the business shifts back to its Marketing & Distribution segment:
- The industry is expecting volumes to be higher in the fiscal 2023 first quarter versus the prior year period, primarily due to expectations for a larger Mexican harvest. The overall Mexican crop is expected to be approximately 20% higher compared to the prior harvest season, but early season volumes have lagged that figure due to primarily to low pricing.
- Pricing is expected to be lower on a sequential basis, but consistent with pricing experienced in the latter part of the prior quarter, which would imply a year-over-year decrease of approximately 20-25% compared to the $1.56 per pound average experienced in first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains the non-GAAP financial measures “adjusted net income” and “adjusted EBITDA.” Management believes these measures provide useful information for analyzing the underlying business results. These measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for or superior to, the comparable financial measures by generally accepted accounting principles.
Mission Produce adjusted net income (loss) refers to net income (loss) attributable to Mission Produce, before stock-based compensation expense, unrealized gain (loss) on derivative financial instruments, foreign currency gain (loss), farming costs for nonproductive orchards (which represents land lease costs), certain noncash and nonrecurring ERP costs, transaction costs, material legal settlements, amortization of inventory adjustments recognized from business combinations, further adjusted by any special, non-recurring, or one-time items such as remeasurement, impairment or discrete tax charges that are distortive to results, and tax effects of these items, if any, and the tax-effected impact of these non-GAAP adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interest, allocable to the noncontrolling owners based on their percentage of ownership interest.
Adjusted EBITDA refers to net income (loss), before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, other income (expense), and income (loss) from equity method investees, further adjusted by asset impairment and disposals, net of insurance recoveries, farming costs for nonproductive orchards (which represents land lease costs), certain noncash and nonrecurring ERP costs, transaction costs, material legal settlements, amortization of inventory adjustments recognized from business combinations, and any special, non-recurring, or one-time items such as remeasurements or impairments, and any portion of these items attributable to the noncontrolling interest, all of which are excluded from the results the CEO reviews uses to assess segment performance and results.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure are provided in the table at the end of this press release.
