The company describes itself as a leading producer, sourcer and distributor of fresh fruits and vegetables, offering more than 300 products sourced from over 100 countries and sold in more than 85 countries.
Dole now operates through three segments: Fresh Fruit, Diversified Fresh Produce – EMEA, and Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas & ROW. In 2025 it completed the sale of its Fresh Vegetables division for approximately $140.0 million, which is reported as discontinued operations. As of June 30, 2025, ordinary shares held by non‑affiliates had an aggregate market value of $1,037,784,426 based on a closing price of $13.99, and there were 95,164,645 ordinary shares outstanding as of February 25, 2026.
The filing outlines extensive risk factors, including weather and climate impacts on crops, plant disease such as Tropical Race 4, product contamination, commodity and labor cost volatility, currency movements, debt obligations and pension underfunding, as well as regulatory, environmental, food safety and sanctions compliance risks tied to its broad international footprint.
Dole plc reported solid fourth quarter and full year 2025 results, with full year revenue of $9.2 billion, up 8.2%, and net income of $82.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $395.4 million, slightly above the company’s latest guidance and market expectations.
The Diversified Fresh Produce segments drove growth and offset weaker Fresh Fruit margins caused by higher fruit and shipping costs, including impacts from Tropical Storm Sara. Net debt fell to $606.5 million and Net Leverage to 1.5x, showing a stronger balance sheet.
The board authorized share repurchases up to $100 million, and a quarterly dividend of $0.085 per share was declared. Dole also agreed to sell port assets in Ecuador for expected net proceeds of about $75 million and is targeting at least $400 million of Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2026, with forecast routine capex of about $100 million and expected interest expense around $60 million.
Dole plc received an updated Schedule 13D filing from Balkan Investment Unlimited Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Scott Limited. The amendment reflects a series of internal, intra-group share transfers completed on December 18, 2025, designed to centralize legal ownership of Dole’s ordinary shares at Scott.
After these internal transactions, Scott beneficially owns 7,299,375 ordinary shares of Dole, equal to 7.67% of the outstanding shares, based on 95,162,657 ordinary shares outstanding as of August 27, 2025. Because Balkan is the sole shareholder of Scott, Balkan may be deemed to beneficially own the same shares. The filing notes that the transfers were among affiliates, involved intercompany loans and loan note securities, and did not involve any open market purchases or sales.
Dole plc has entered into sales and purchase agreements to sell 100% of the membership interests in its port properties and associated operations in Guayaquil, Ecuador to Terminal Investment Limited Holding S.A. Net cash proceeds from this Ecuadorian Port Business transaction are expected to be approximately $75.0 million after costs and customary completion adjustments.
The deal is subject to regulatory approvals under the laws of Ecuador and is expected to close in 2026. After closing, Dole expects to continue using the Guayaquil facilities under an arm’s length terminal services agreement with the buyer, covering loading and discharging of containers. Dole also points to various risks around timing, potential termination, operational disruption and legal proceedings that could cause actual outcomes to differ from these expectations.
