Defaults Upon Senior Securities



FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “could”, “intends”, “target”, “projects”, “contemplates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
Risks related to our business, including: limitations regarding the supply of fruit, either through purchasing or growing; fluctuations in the market price of fruit; increasing competition; risks associated with doing business internationally, including Mexican and Peruvian economic, political and/or societal conditions; inflationary pressures; establishment of sales channels and geographic markets; loss of one or more of our largest customers; general economic conditions or downturns; supply chain failures or disruptions; disruption to the supply of reliable and cost-effective transportation; failure to recruit or retain employees, poor employee relations, and/or ineffective organizational structure; inherent farming risks, including climate change; seasonality in operating results; failures associated with information technology infrastructure, system security and cyber risks; new and changing privacy laws and our compliance with such laws; food safety events and recalls; failure to comply with laws and regulations; changes to trade policy and/or export/import laws and regulations; risks from business acquisitions, if any; lack of or failure of infrastructure; material litigation or governmental inquiries/actions; failure to maintain or protect our brand; changes in tax rates or international tax legislation; risks associated with global conflicts; and inability to accurately forecast future performance.
Risks related to our common stock, including: the viability of an active, liquid, and orderly market for our common stock; volatility in the trading price of our common stock; concentration of control in our executive officers, and directors over matters submitted to stockholders for approval; limited sources of capital appreciation; significant costs associated with being a public company and the allocation of significant management resources thereto; reliance on analyst reports; failure to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting; restrictions on takeover attempts in our charter documents and under Delaware law; and the selection of Delaware as the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders.
Risks related to restrictive covenants under our credit facility, which could affect our flexibility to fund ongoing operations, uses of capital and strategic initiatives, and, if we are unable to maintain compliance with such covenants, lead to significant challenges in meeting our liquidity requirements and acceleration of our debt.
Other risks and factors listed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2023 and elsewhere in this report.
We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this report primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, business strategy and financial needs. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2023 and elsewhere in this report. These risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report include additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Furthermore, new risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this report. We cannot assure you that the results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
You should read this report, including documents that we reference and exhibits that have been filed, in this report and have filed as exhibits to this report, with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
The forward-looking statements made in this report relate only to events as of the date on which such statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this report or to conform such statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law.
This quarterly report may also include trademarks, tradenames and service marks that are the property of the Company and also certain trademarks, tradenames and service marks that are the property of other organizations. Solely for convenience, trademarks and tradenames referred to in this quarterly report appear without the ® and ™ symbols, but those references are not

MISSION PRODUCE, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.     General
Business
Mission Produce, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Mission,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is a global leader in the avocado industry. The Company’s expertise lies in the farming, packaging, marketing and distribution of avocados to food retailers, distributors and produce wholesalers worldwide. The Company procures avocados principally from California, Mexico and Peru. Through our various operating facilities, we grow, sort, pack, bag and ripen avocados and a small amount of other fruits for distribution to domestic and international markets. We report our results of operations in three operating segments: Marketing and Distribution, International Farming and Blueberries (see Note 12).
Basis of presentation and consolidation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and include the Company’s consolidated domestic and international subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which we are the primary beneficiary and have a controlling interest. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended October 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of future results, including results that may be expected for the twelve months ended October 31, 2024.
Recently issued accounting and disclosure standards
In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted final climate-related disclosure rules that will require registrants to disclose (subject to materiality conditions): climate-related risks, material direct greenhouse gas emissions, and the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions. Adoption is required on a phase-in basis with respect to annual periods beginning in calendar year 2025 (the Company's fiscal year 2026). In April 2024, the SEC issued a stay on the rules, pending the completion of judicial review of the U.S. Court of Appeals of the Eighth Circuit. We are currently monitoring the status of the judicial review and we are evaluating the impact of the rules on our financial disclosures.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires that an entity disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the ASU requires certain disclosures of state versus federal income tax expense and taxes paid. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis although retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU requires that an entity disclose significant segment expenses impacting profit and loss that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. The update is required to be applied retrospectively to prior periods presented, based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial disclosures.

The credit facility requires the Company to comply with financial and other covenants, including limitations on investments, capital expenditures, dividend payments, amounts and types of liens and indebtedness, and material asset sales. The Company is also required to maintain certain leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. As of July 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants of the credit facility.
Other
Certain of our consolidated subsidiaries may also enter into short-term bank borrowings from time to time. Short-term borrowings outstanding were $3.0 million and $2.8 million as of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively, with weighted average interest rates of 9.91% and 10.46%, respectively. Our Blueberries business also obtains loans from shareholders from time to time, which accrue interest at rates ranging from 5.0 to 6.5%. Amounts outstanding as of July 31, 2024 are expected to be repaid by the end of fiscal 2026.
The Company may issue standby letters of credit through banking institutions. As of July 31, 2024, total letters of credit outstanding were $0.7 million.
Interest rate swaps
From time to time, the Company may enter into interest rate swap contracts to hedge changes in variable interest rates on the principal value of the Company’s term loans. We account for interest rate swaps in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as amended, which requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and measurement of those instruments at fair value. The Company did not designate the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges, and as a result under the accounting guidance, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps were recorded in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) and changes in the assets are presented in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flow. As of July 31, 2024, a notional amount of $10 million was outstanding, carrying a fixed SOFR rate of 4.47%. As of October 31, 2023, a notional amount of $25 million was outstanding, carrying a fixed SOFR rate of 2.3%. Refer to Note 9 for more details.
7.      Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is involved from time to time in claims, proceedings, and litigation, including the following:






14

MISSION PRODUCE, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On April 23, 2020, former Mission Produce, Inc. employees filed a class action lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles against us alleging violation of certain wage and labor laws in California, including failure to pay all overtime wages, minimum wage violations, and meal and rest period violations, among others. Additionally, on June 10, 2020, former Mission Produce, Inc. employees filed a class action lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Ventura against us alleging similar violations of certain wage and labor laws. The plaintiffs in both cases seek damages primarily consisting of class certification and payment of wages earned and owed, plus other consequential and special damages. While the Company believes that it did not violate any wage or labor laws, in May 2021, the plaintiffs in both class action lawsuits and the Company agreed to settle the class action cases. Per the terms of the settlement agreement between the parties, the total amount of the settlement is $1.5 million. The Court granted Final Approval of the Class Action Settlement on June 10, 2024. Payment was sent to the Settlement Administrator on June 26, 2024, to be distributed directly to the class members. Once all settlement checks have been distributed and cashed or returned pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the action will be dismissed with prejudice. This is expected to occur toward the end of 2024.
The outcomes of our legal proceedings and other contingencies are inherently unpredictable, subject to significant uncertainties, and if one or more legal matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts above management’s expectations, the Company’s financial condition and operating results for that period could be materially adversely affected.
8.     Income Taxes
The provision for income tax recorded for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023 differs from the income taxes expected at the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0%, primarily due to income attributable to foreign jurisdictions which is taxed at different rates, changes in foreign exchange rates taxable in foreign jurisdictions, state taxes, nondeductible tax items and changes in uncertain tax positions (“UTP”).
As of July 31, 2024, the Company had $17.0 million accrued in UTP on income taxes, of which $9.3 million relates to interest and penalties, inclusive of inflationary adjustments. The period for assessing interest and penalties has expired. However, the Company continues to record certain statutory adjustments related to inflation. Changes in the UTP related to changes in foreign exchange rates during the period are included in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

9.     Fair Value Measurements
Financial assets or liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

Our mutual fund investments relate to our deferred compensation plan, which are held in a Rabbi trust which is included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. The funds are measured at quoted prices in active markets, which is equivalent to their fair value.
The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow method. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the swaps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves (“significant other observable inputs”). The fair value calculation also includes an amount for risk of non-performance using “significant unobservable inputs” such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. The Company has concluded, as of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, the fair value associated with the “significant unobservable inputs” relating to the Company’s risk of non-performance was insignificant to the overall fair value of the interest rate swap agreements and, as a result, the Company determined that the relevant inputs for purposes of calculating the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements, in their entirety, were based upon “significant other observable inputs”. The assets or liabilities associated with the interest rate swaps have been included in prepaid expenses and other current assets or accrued

(1)The Company purchases from and sells fruit to, and provides logistics services to, a small number of entities having full or partial ownership by some of our directors/officers. These transactions are made under substantially similar terms as with other growers and customers. Our blueberries business leases land under a long-term lease with a company owned by one of our directors. The rental rate in the lease was comparable to market rates and reflective of an arms-length transaction. The lease was accounted for as a finance lease right-of-use asset and is included in property, plant and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheets, with amortization and interest expense recognized in cost of sales and interest expense, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). The portion of lease costs attributable to noncontrolling interest, net of income taxes, was $0.2 million for both the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, and $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively; amounts were included as part of net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
(2)The Company utilizes a small number of transportation vendors in Mexico having full or partial ownership by some of our employees. The Company also purchases avocados from a small number of entities having full or partial ownership by some employees. These transactions are made under substantially similar terms as with other transportation carriers and growers.
12.     Segment and Revenue Information
We have three operating segments which are also reportable segments. Our reportable segments are presented based on how information is used by our CEO, who is the chief operating decision maker, to measure performance and allocate resources.
Marketing and Distribution. Our Marketing and Distribution reportable segment sources fruit from growers and then distributes the fruit through our global distribution network.
International Farming. International Farming owns and operates orchards from which the vast majority of fruit produced is sold to our Marketing and Distribution segment. The segment’s farming activities range from cultivating early-stage plantings to harvesting from mature trees. It also earns service revenues for packing and processing fruit for both our






17

MISSION PRODUCE, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Blueberries segment, as well as for third-party producers of other crops. Operations are principally located in Peru, with smaller operations emerging in other areas of Latin America.
Blueberries. The Blueberries segment represents the results of Moruga. Moruga’s farming activities include cultivating early-stage blueberry plantings and harvesting mature bushes. Substantially all blueberries produced are sold to a single distributor under an exclusive marketing agreement.
The CEO evaluates and monitors segment performance primarily through segment sales and segment adjusted EBITDA. 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, net of insurance recoveries, farming costs for nonproductive orchards (which represents land lease costs), recognition of deferred ERP costs, transaction costs, amortization of inventory adjustments recognized from business combinations, 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, all of which are excluded from the results the CEO reviews uses to assess segment performance and results. We believe that adjusted EBITDA by segment provides useful information for analyzing the underlying business results as well as allowing investors a means to evaluate the financial results of each reportable segment in relation to the Company as a whole. These measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for or superior to, the comparable GAAP financial measures.
Net sales from each of our reportable segments were as follows.

Item 2.        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based upon our current beliefs, plans and expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Please refer to the section of this report under the heading “Forward Looking Statements.”
Overview
We are a world leader in sourcing, producing and distributing Hass avocados, serving retail, wholesale and foodservice customers. We source, produce, pack and distribute avocados and a small amount of other fruits to our customers and provide value-added services including ripening, bagging, custom packaging and logistical management. In addition, we provide our customers with merchandising and promotional support, insights on market trends and training designed to increase their retail avocado sales.
We have three operating segments which are also reportable segments:
Marketing and Distribution. Our Marketing and Distribution reportable segment sources fruit from growers and then distributes the fruit through our global distribution network.
International Farming. International Farming owns and operates orchards from which the vast majority of fruit produced is sold to our Marketing and Distribution segment. The segment’s farming activities range from cultivating early-stage plantings to harvesting from mature trees. It also earns service revenues for packing and processing fruit for both our Blueberries segment, as well as for third-party producers of other crops. Operations are principally located in Peru, with smaller operations emerging in other areas of Latin America.
Blueberries. The Blueberries segment represents the results of Moruga. Moruga’s farming activities include cultivating early-stage blueberry plantings and harvesting mature bushes. Substantially all blueberries produced are sold to a single distributor under an exclusive marketing agreement.
Results of Operations
The operating results of our businesses are significantly impacted by the price and volume of fruit we farm, source and distribute. In addition, our results have been, and will continue to be, affected by quarterly and annual fluctuations due to a number of factors, including but not limited to: pests and disease; weather patterns; changes in demand by consumers; food safety advisories; the timing of the receipt, reduction or cancellation of significant customer orders; the gain or loss of significant customers; the availability, quality and price of raw materials; the utilization of capacity at our various locations; and general economic conditions.
Our financial reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our most significant subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar and the majority of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. A significant portion of our purchases of avocados are denominated in the Mexican Peso and a significant portion of our growing and harvesting costs are denominated in Peruvian Soles. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and these local currencies usually do not have a significant impact on our gross margin because the impact affects our pricing by comparable amounts. Our margin exposure to exchange rate fluctuations is short-term in nature, as our sales price commitments are generally limited to less than one month and orders can primarily be serviced with procured inventory. Over longer periods of time, we believe that the impact exchange rate fluctuations will have on our cost of goods sold will largely be passed on to our customers in the form of higher or lower prices.
