Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call presents a generally positive operational and strategic picture: adjusted EBITDA beat guidance, revenue grew across the business, key segments (Diversified Americas and EMEA) showed strong percentage gains, leverage improved and strategic portfolio actions (Fresh Vegetables sale, port sale agreement, credit facility renewal) strengthen financial flexibility. However, meaningful headwinds remain — Fresh Fruit margin pressure from elevated sourcing costs, weather-related disruptions and several non-cash charges drove a significant decline in reported net income and constrained free cash flow in 2025. Management expects improvement in 2026 but guidance carries uncertainty tied to sourcing costs and seasonal dynamics.Company Guidance
Adjusted EBITDA Ahead of Guidance
Full-year adjusted EBITDA of $395 million, coming in ahead of the company's latest guidance and 1% above 2024.
Revenue Growth
Full-year revenue increased 8.2% to £9.2 billion. Q4 revenue was £2.4 billion, up 9.2% reported and 5.7% like-for-like versus Q4 2024.
Strong Diversified Americas Performance
Diversified Americas delivered robust growth: Q4 adjusted EBITDA up 32% and full-year adjusted EBITDA up 21%, driven by higher volumes (cherries, blueberries) and improved JV profitability.
Diversified EMEA Growth
Diversified EMEA delivered an excellent full-year adjusted EBITDA of $150 million, a 14% increase year-on-year, supported by strength in Spain, the Nordics and recovery in the Netherlands.
Strategic Portfolio Simplification and Capital Actions
Completed sale of Fresh Vegetables business for gross consideration of $140 million (Aug 2025); announced agreement to sell Guayaquil port operations with expected net proceeds ~ $75 million; completed $1.2 billion credit facility renewal; Board authorized $100 million share repurchase program (£4.5m repurchased to date).
Product Innovation Win
Launched Cladeau Royale pineapple (new variety) — described as 'game-changing' after 15 years of R&D, well received by customers/consumers and awarded best new product in a Newsweek fresh fruit survey.
Improved Leverage and Lower Interest
Net leverage improved to 1.5x from 1.6x prior year. Full-year interest expense was £66.5 million, and management expects ~ $60 million interest in 2026 assuming stable base rates.
Cash Generation and CapEx Discipline
Net cash provided by operating activities of £123 million; routine full-year CapEx in line with guidance (£85 million); 2026 routine CapEx forecast ~£100 million. Free cash flow excluding specified one-offs rises to ~$81 million.
