Current report
On December 13, 2025, we entered into the Port Sale Transaction. In May of 2026, we completed the Pre-Closing Ownership Restructuring and paid cash of $51.2 million to purchase the remaining interests in the Ecuadorian Port Business. On July 1, 2026, the Company completed the Port Disposal, thereby completing the Port Sale Transaction and disposing of the Ecuadorian Port Business. Total cash proceeds of the Port Disposal, after customary transaction adjustments, were approximately $180.0 million. Accounting for the effects of the Pre-Closing Ownership Restructuring and net of cash transferred, transaction costs, customary transaction completion adjustments, cash taxes and other adjustments, total net cash proceeds of the Port Sale Transaction are expected to be approximately $95.0 million.
Current report
The increase in total revenue, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 (2.9%, or $71.0 million) was primarily due to positive operational performance in the Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas & ROW segment and a favorable impact from foreign currency translation of $30.3 million, as a result of the strengthening of the Swedish krona and euro against the U.S. Dollar when compared to prior year.
Current report
The increase in total cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026 (4.3%, or $94.0 million) was primarily due to increased trading activity in the Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas & ROW segment and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. Additionally, in the Fresh Fruit segment, cost of sales increased due to higher fruit sourcing costs, elevated shipping costs in both European and North American markets due to higher fuel costs, higher pineapple growing costs resulting from adverse weather conditions, as well as the continued strengthening of the Costa Rican Colón against the U.S. Dollar.

Gain (Loss) on Disposal of Businesses
Current report
There was an immaterial gain on disposal of business for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and during the six months ended June 30, 2025, Dole recognized an incremental gain on the sale of Progressive of $0.4 million related to amounts that were released from escrow.
Current report
Other income (expense), net increased to income of $8.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026 from expense of $19.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher net unrealized gains on foreign currency denominated borrowings (in comparison unrealized losses incurred in the prior year). The prior year was also negatively impacted by the incremental nonrecurring net expenses in connection with the Refinancing. These increases were offset partially by higher net losses of other mark to market instruments, higher net periodic costs from non-service components of pension and other postretirement benefit plans, lower rental income and other miscellaneous costs.
Current report
both lower debt balances and lower effective interest rates in the current year in comparison to the prior year.
Current report
Equity method earnings increased to $9.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $8.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to improved performance across our joint ventures in the Fresh Fruit segment.
Current report
In the three months ended June 30, 2026, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased to $9.1 million from $8.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily related to an increase in the non-controlling interests share of earnings in our Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas & ROW segment.
Current report
Fresh Fruit revenue, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 of $972.8 million is in line with prior year. Higher volumes of bananas sold in Europe and higher underlying banana pricing in North America were partially offset by lower banana volumes in North America. Pineapple volumes were lower across all markets, primarily due to adverse weather conditions affecting fruit availability.
Current report
The decrease in Fresh Fruit Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2026 (30.9%, or $22.5 million) to $50.3 million was driven primarily driven by higher fruit sourcing costs, elevated shipping costs in both European and North American markets due to higher fuel costs, higher pineapple growing costs resulting from adverse weather conditions, as well as the continued strengthening of the Costa Rican Colón against the U.S. Dollar.
Current report
The increase in Fresh Fruit revenue, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 (3.2%, or $59.7 million) to $1.9 billion was primarily due to higher volumes of bananas sold in Europe. There was also higher underlying pricing of bananas and pineapples, as well as higher volumes of plantains in North America. These increases were partially offset by decreased banana volumes in North America, and more recently, lower pineapple volumes in all markets due to unfavorable weather conditions.
Current report
The increase in Diversified Fresh Produce – EMEA revenue, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 (1.0%, or $10.6 million) to $1.1 billion was primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation of $29.9 million, as a result of the strengthening of the Swedish krona and euro against the U.S. Dollar, as well as underlying growth in Scandinavia partially offset by lower revenue in Spain. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, revenue was 1.7%, or $19.2 million, behind the prior year.
Current report
The decrease in Diversified Fresh Produce – EMEA Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2026 (1.0%, or $0.7 million) to $75.9 million was primarily due to weaker performance in South Africa, the Netherlands and the U.K. These decreases were partially offset by a strong performance in Scandinavia and Germany and a favorable impact of foreign currency translation of $5.2 million. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation and acquisitions and divestitures, Adjusted EBITDA was 7.1%, or $5.4 million, behind the prior year.
Current report
The increase in Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas & ROW revenue, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 (13.9%, or $53.8 million) to $440.1 million was primarily driven by higher volumes in our North America business, both from seasonal timing benefits with North American cherries and by good underlying growth in key products including kiwi and avocados. There was also higher revenue in our southern hemisphere export business due to positive season end pricing adjustments.
Current report
The increase in Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas & ROW Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2026 (33.8%, or $5.2 million) to $20.6 million was driven by a strong performance in our North American business, driven both by positive volume growth in kiwi and avocados and seasonal timing differences in cherries, as well as the continued benefit of the partial restructuring of our berry operations in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Previous wording
Cash flows used in operating activities were $22.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to cash flows used in operating activities of $78.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. There were lower outflows from receivables in comparison to prior year, as the prior year was significantly impacted by the timing of collections related to the Chilean cherry season which accentuated the normal seasonal working capital receivables outflows as well as an incrementally higher benefit from securitization of trade receivables when compared to the prior year. There was also an increase in cash inflows in the current year from inventories. These impacts were partially offset by higher outflows in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other liabilities due to seasonal timing of grower payables which were also accentuated by the timing of the cherry season.
