24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Earnings releases have typically produced modest single-digit moves, with one notable double-digit selloff when results and outlook diverged from prior strength.
Over the last five earnings reports, Mission has highlighted growth in avocado revenues and margins, with record full-year revenue of $1.39 billion reported on Dec 18, 2025. Quarterly updates often stress volume/pricing dynamics and adjusted EBITDA progression. One prior Q1 release on Mar 10, 2025 triggered a sharp negative reaction despite record sales, while other quarters—such as Q3 and Q4 2025—saw modest positive responses. Today’s Q1 2026 update fits this pattern of pricing normalization and focus on adjusted metrics.

International Farming
The vast majority of fruit sales from the International Farming segment are made to the Marketing & Distribution segment, with the remainder of revenue largely derived from direct sales of fruit to third parties, as well as 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 September of each year. As a result, operating income and adjusted EBITDA for the International Farming segment is generally concentrated in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year in alignment with the timing of sales.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Cash and cash equivalents were
The Company’s operating cash flows are seasonal in nature and can be temporarily influenced by working capital shifts resulting from varying payment terms to growers in different source regions. In addition, the Company is building its growing crops inventory in its International Farming segment during the first half of the year for ultimate harvest and sale that will occur during the second half of the fiscal year. While these increases in working capital can cause operating cash flows to be unfavorable in individual quarters, it is not indicative of operating cash performance expected to be realized for the full year.

Pending Acquisition of Calavo Growers, Inc.
On January 14, 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Calavo Growers, Inc. and its affiliates (“Calavo”). Calavo is a leading provider of fresh avocados, tomatoes, papayas, and value-added prepared foods, including a variety of ready-to-eat products such as guacamole and salsas. Its products are sold under the Calavo brand name, proprietary sub-brands, as well as private labels and store brands. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Calavo stockholders will receive
The transaction will enhance Mission’s position in the North American avocado category with expanded supply reliability across Mexico and California. The transaction also represents entry for Mission into the high-growth and attractive prepared food sector, complementing Mission’s existing value-add avocado business. The transaction also provides a significant value opportunity for both Mission and Calavo shareholders to realize cost synergies and SG&A savings. The transaction is expected to close in the third fiscal quarter of 2026, subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals, the approvals of Mission and Calavo shareholders, and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
Outlook
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company is providing the following industry outlooks that will drive performance:
- Avocado industry volumes in the fiscal 2026 second quarter are expected to increase by 10
-15% versus the prior year period, driven by a larger Mexican crop in the current harvest season. - Pricing is expected to be lower on a year-over-year basis by 30
-35% compared to the$2.00 per pound average experienced in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, driven by higher supply conditions. - Harvest timing for the 2025/26 Peruvian blueberry season is accelerated in relation to the prior year, leaving 10
-15% of the harvest to be sold through in the fiscal second quarter. The Company expects to see volume reductions from owned farms resulting from earlier pruning in the current year, which should translate to lower revenue despite expectations for higher sales prices. Profitability will continue to be impacted by higher costs resulting from lower projected yields per hectare in the current harvest season.
- For full year fiscal 2026, total capital expenditure is expected to be approximately
$40 million .

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.
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), recognition of deferred ERP costs, transaction advisory costs, amortization of inventory adjustments and intangible asset 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, farming costs for nonproductive orchards (which represents land lease costs), recognition of deferred ERP costs, transaction advisory costs, 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.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure are provided in the appendices to this press release.
