Dole PLC

Dole reported Q2 2026 revenue up 2.9% to $2.499 billion and net income more than doubled to $35.1 million, while Adjusted EBITDA fell 14.8% to $116.8 million due to higher fruit sourcing, shipping and fuel costs and adverse weather impacts on pineapples. The Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas & ROW segment drove growth with a 13.9% revenue increase and stronger EBITDA, while Fresh Fruit EBITDA dropped 30.9% and gross and operating profits declined. Dole completed the sale of an Ecuador port and acquired Greenfood Fresh Produce in Scandinavia, ended the quarter with $746.1 million net debt (2.0x leverage), returned cash via dividends and buybacks, and is targeting ~$400 million adjusted EBITDA for 2026 assuming cost pressures ease. » Plus sur finance.yahoo.com

Group revenue was $2.5 billion in Q2, up 2.9% reported, while adjusted EBITDA fell to $117 million and net income from continuing operations was $35.1 million, pressured by higher fuel, shipping and sourcing costs in Fresh Fruit. Management said Diversified Americas offset Fresh Fruit weakness and noted resilient consumer demand, while expecting contractual fuel surcharges and cost actions to support improvement in H2. Strategic moves in the quarter included the $95 million-proceeds Ecuador port sale, the acquisition of Greenfood’s Fresh Produce division in Scandinavia and a $10 million share repurchase. The company reiterated routine CapEx guidance of ~$100 million for 2026 and targets full-year adjusted EBITDA of approximately $400 million. » Plus sur finance.yahoo.com
