- Reaffirming fiscal 2026 second-half non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA outlook of $84 million to $88 million.

Notes
Mission Produce completed its acquisition of Calavo Growers, Inc. on May 28, 2026, issuing 17,530,762 shares of common stock and paying approximately $267 million in cash. The company reported $26.0 million in transaction advisory and integration costs for the nine months ended July 31, 2026. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA guidance for the second half is reaffirmed; the company is not reasonably able to reconcile its outlook for adjusted EBITDA to net income due to unavailable information on anticipated stock-based compensation, derivative financial instruments impacts, foreign currency effects, and transaction costs.
