Mission Produce reports Q2 adjusted EPS 12c vs. 14c last year

Reports Q2 revenue $380.3M vs. $297.6M last year. Steve Barnard, CEO of Mission, stated, “We delivered record second quarter revenue and stronger than expected adjusted EBITDA performance. Our commercial teams successfully navigated typical seasonal supply challenges by leveraging our industry-leading global source network to satisfy customer commitments. While market pricing remained elevated during the second quarter and surpassed our expectation, distributed volumes were flat with the prior year period which speaks to the durability of consumption and the growing consistency of the category at retail. We are also pleased with the progression of key strategic priorities to enhance our position with customers, both in terms of products and global markets. Our mango business gained significant market share and achieved record volumes, establishing Mission as a leading U.S. distributor, while our operations in the United Kingdom are steadily gaining momentum through enhanced customer penetration which has optimized facility utilization following the strategic investment in the region. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, we are well-positioned to generate solid cash flow as we typically do through leveraging our own increased Peruvian supply to meet strong market demand.”
