Del Monte Corporation reported lower profitability for the quarter and six months ended June 26, 2026. Quarterly net sales were $1,219.1 million versus $1,182.5 million a year earlier, but operating income declined to $33.5 million and net income attributable to Del Monte fell to $21.2 million, or $0.44 diluted EPS, from $56.8 million, or $1.18.
For the first half of 2026, net sales were $2,263.2 million compared with $2,280.8 million, while net income attributable to Del Monte decreased to $31.2 million from $87.9 million, reflecting $34.8 million of asset impairment and other charges and higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Prepared foods revenue and gross profit increased after the March 19 acquisition of select Del Monte Foods assets, which carried total purchase consideration of $341.9 million and generated $192.7 million of revenue but a pre‑tax loss in the post‑closing period.
Total assets rose to $3,382.4 million, funded in part by drawing $413.0 million on the revolving credit facility, lifting long‑term debt and finance leases to $426.4 million. Operating cash flow was $94.0 million, down from $159.2 million, while the company paid $28.5 million in dividends and repurchased $20.0 million of shares. Del Monte also discloses contested foreign tax assessments totaling about $275.9 million and a $4.7 million accrual related to historical U.S. payroll tax withholdings for its CEO.
Del Monte Corporation reported second-quarter 2026 net sales of $1,219.1 million, compared with $1,182.5 million a year earlier.

Del Monte Corporation (formerly Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc.) entered into Amendment No. 3 to its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on July 15, 2026 with a syndicate of lenders and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent. Certain direct and indirect subsidiaries continue to guarantee obligations under the facility.
The amendment increases the aggregate Revolving Commitments from $750,000,000 to $900,000,000 and also increases the aggregate L/C Commitments from $750,000,000 to $900,000,000. It also amends and restates the definition of “Term SOFR” to remove the ten (10) basis points adjustment to SOFR and makes conforming changes to reflect the company’s name change and other administrative updates.
All other material terms of the credit agreement, originally dated October 1, 2019 and previously amended on December 30, 2022 and February 21, 2024, remain unchanged. The disclosure of a direct financial obligation and off-balance sheet arrangement is tied to these expanded revolving and letter of credit commitments.
