Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. (NYSE: FDP), ("Fresh Del Monte" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the second quarter ended July 2, 2021.
Financial highlights for the second quarter of 2021:
- Net sales increased 5% to $1,141.6 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared with $1,092.3 million in the prior-year period;
- Gross profit was $110.0 million for the second quarter of 2021, which represents an increase of 40%, compared with the prior-year period, and gross profit margin increased from 7.2% in the prior-year period to 9.6% in the second quarter of 2021;
- FDP net income(1) for the second quarter of 2021 was $47.2 million, compared with $17.9 million in the prior-year period, and Diluted EPS(2) was $0.99 for the second quarter of 2021, compared with $0.38 in the prior-year period;
- Adjusted Diluted EPS(3) was $0.98 for the second quarter of 2021, compared with $0.54 in the prior-year period; and
- Adjusted EBITDA(3) was $83.6 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared with $63.5 million in the prior-year period.
“Our strong performance during the second quarter of 2021 reflects relaxed restrictions on social gatherings in some of our key markets, compared to the prior-year period,” said Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our pineapple, fresh-cut fruit and prepared food products led sales and profitability growth, despite inflationary and cost pressures, which are expected to continue.”
Net sales for the second quarter of 2021 increased $49.3 million, or 5%, compared with the prior-year period. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by higher net sales in the Company's fresh and value-added products and other products and services business segments.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 increased $31.3 million, or 40%, and Adjusted Gross profit(3), which excludes other-product related charges of $2.0 million, increased $22.7 million, or 25%, compared with the prior-year period. The overall increase in gross profit was partially offset by higher per unit fuel, labor, inland freight, packaging, production and procurement costs which were negatively impacted by inflationary market pressures and other unfavorable economic conditions, including lack of sufficient labor availability, in the second quarter of 2021. Gross margin increased 240 basis points from 7.2% in the second quarter of 2020 to 9.6% in the second quarter of 2021.
Operating income for the second quarter of 2021 increased $26.2 million, or 79%, and Adjusted Operating income(3) increased $16.9 million, or 39%, compared with the prior-year period. The increase in operating income was primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.
FDP net income for the second quarter of 2021 increased $29.3 million, or 164%, and Adjusted FDP Net income(3) increased $21.1 million, or 82%, compared with the prior-year period. The increase was primarily the result of higher operating income.
Adjusted EBITDA(3) for the second quarter of 2021 increased $20.1 million, or 32%, and the Adjusted EBITDA margin(3) increased 150 basis points from 5.8% in the second quarter of 2020 to 7.3% in the second quarter of 2021.

Fresh and Value-Added Products
Net sales for the second quarter of 2021 increased $37.8 million, or 6%, compared with the prior-year period, mainly due to higher net sales of pineapples, fresh-cut fruits and fresh-cut vegetables as a result of less restrictions on social gatherings in certain key markets which had a positive impact on demand when compared to the prior-year period. Partially offsetting the increase were decreases in net sales of non-tropical fruit and avocados. The primary drivers of the variance in net sales were:
- Higher net sales in the Company's pineapple product line in all regions, driven by an increase in per unit sales prices and sales volumes.
- Higher net sales in its fresh-cut fruit product line, primarily in Europe and North America, driven by an increase in sales volumes and per unit sales prices.
- Higher net sales in the Company's fresh-cut vegetable product line, primarily in the Middle East and in its Mann Packing business in North America, driven by an increase in sales volumes and per unit sales prices.
- Lower net sales in the Company's non-tropical fruit product line, primarily in the Middle East, and to a lesser extent, North America and Asia. Severe rainstorms in Chile at the beginning of 2021 negatively impacted the Company's non-tropical fruit crops.
- Lower net sales in its avocado product line, principally due to lower sales volumes and per unit sales prices, primarily as a result of excess supply in the market.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 increased $20.2 million, or 54%, compared with the prior year period, primarily due to higher gross profit in the Company's pineapple, prepared food, melon, and fresh-cut fruit product lines. Gross margin increased 270 basis points from 5.8% in the prior year period to 8.5% in the second quarter of 2021. Gross profit in the second quarter of 2020 included $9.0 million of inventory write-offs attributable to the Company's fresh and value-added products segment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary drivers of the variance in gross profit were:
- Increased gross profit in the Company's pineapple product line across all regions. North America realized the largest increase due to higher per unit sales prices and sales volumes coupled with lower per unit ocean freight costs. This increase was partially offset by higher per unit fuel, labor, inland freight, packaging, production and procurement costs.
- Increased gross profit in its prepared food product line in Europe and North America. In Europe, the increase was driven by higher per unit sales prices while North America realized lower per unit costs.
- Increased gross profit in its melon product line, primarily in North America due to higher per unit sales prices, partially offset by higher per unit product costs primarily as a result of lower volumes due to the negative impact of hurricanes Eta and Iota on our harvest in the fourth quarter of 2020.
- Increased gross profit in the Company's fresh-cut fruit product line, driven by higher per unit sales prices and sales volumes.
- Decreased gross profit in its fresh-cut vegetable product line in the Company's Mann Packing business in North America, driven by higher per unit product and distribution costs.
- Decreased gross profit in the Company's avocado product line, primarily the result of lower per unit sales prices, coupled with higher per unit distribution costs as a result of lower sales volume.
Adjusted Gross profit(3) in the fresh and value-add products segment for the second quarter of 2021 increased $12.8 million, or 28%, compared with the prior-year period.
Banana
Net sales for the second quarter of 2021 decreased $2.9 million, or 1%, compared with the prior-year period, principally due to lower net sales in the Middle East, and to a lesser extent in North America, partially offset by higher net sales in Europe and Asia.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 increased $7.7 million, or 20%, compared with the prior-year period, primarily driven by North America and Europe. Gross margin increased 180 basis points from 9.1% in the second quarter of 2020 to 10.9% in the second quarter of 2021. Gross profit in the same period last year included $1.6 million of inventory write-offs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary drivers of the variance were:
- Higher per unit sales prices in North America and Europe and lower per unit ocean freight costs.
- These improvements were partially offset by higher fuel, labor, inland freight, packaging, production and procurement costs.
Adjusted Gross profit(3) in the banana business segment for the second quarter of 2021 increased $6.5 million, or 16%, compared with the prior-year period.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter of 2021 was $139.5 million, compared with $110.5 million in the prior-year period, an increase of $29.0 million. The increase was primarily attributable to higher net income and lower cash outflows associated with accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Total Debt
Total debt decreased from $542.0 million at the end of 2020 to $473.5 million at the end of the second quarter of 2021.
Quarterly Cash Dividend
On August 3, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share, payable on September 10, 2021, to shareholders of record on August 18, 2021. This is an increase of $0.05 per share from the quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 paid to shareholders on June 11, 2021.

Non-GAAP Measures
The Company's results are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain information presented in this press release reflects adjustments to GAAP measures such as amounts related to restructuring, asset impairment and other charges (credits), net, gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net, other product-related charges and certain other non-recurring items, if any. These adjustments result in non-GAAP financial measures and are referred to in this press release as Adjusted Gross profit, Adjusted Operating income, Adjusted FDP Net income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS. Management believes these adjustments provide a more comparable analysis of the underlying operating performance of the business.
This press release also includes non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, and Adjusted EBITDA margin. EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. excluding interest expense, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA with additional adjustments for non-recurring items. EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of net sales, and adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.
Adjusted Gross profit, Adjusted Operating income, Adjusted FDP Net income, and Adjusted EBITDA provide the Company with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of its business. The Company uses these metrics because management believes they provide more comparable measures to evaluate period-over-period operating performance since they exclude special items that are not indicative of the Company's core business or operations. These measures may be useful to an investor in evaluating the underlying operating performance of the Company's business because these measures:
- Are used by investors to measure a company's comparable operating performance;
- Are financial measurements that are used by lenders and other parties to evaluate creditworthiness; and
- Are used by the Company's management for various purposes, including as measures of performance of its operating entities, as a basis of strategic planning and forecasting, and in certain cases as a basis for incentive compensation.
Because all companies do not use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial tables that accompany this release.

Other product-related charges for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 primarily included (1) a $1.3 million inventory write-off incurred in connection with the contracted sale of production equipment in the Middle East, which will be recognized in a future quarter (2) $0.4 million in additional repair expenses related to hurricane damage to the Company's Guatemala banana operations in the fourth quarter of 2020, and (3) $0.3 million in incremental inventory write-offs related to inclement weather in Chile which affected the Company's non-tropical fruit crops in the first quarter of 2021. For the six months ended July 2, 2021, other product-related charges primarily consisted of (1) $3.4 million of non-tropical fruit inventory write-offs due to inclement weather in Chile, (2) $1.4 million in repair expenses related to hurricane damage in Guatemala, and (3) a $1.3 million inventory write-off due to the contracted sale of certain production equipment. Partially offsetting these other product-related charges for the six months ended July 2, 2021 was a $2.5 million insurance recovery associated with the Guatemala hurricane damage. Other product-related charges for the quarter and six months ended June 26, 2020 primarily related to inventory write-offs resulting from lower demand for certain of the Company's products due to the COVID-19 pandemic, principally related to the fresh and value-added products segment. The COVID-19 pandemic led to volatile supply and demand conditions across the Company's key global markets in the first six months of 2020 which negatively affected the pricing and demand for its products, including within its foodservice distribution channel. |

|
|
(3) |
Gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net for the quarter ended July 2, 2021, primarily related to a $1.1 million gain on the sale of vacant land in the Middle East. For the six months ended July 2, 2021, gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net also included a $2.4 million gain on the sale of a refrigerated vessel. Gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net for the six months ended June 26, 2020 primarily related to gains on the sale of surplus land in Chile and marine equipment. |
|
|
(4) |
Other adjustments for the quarter and six months ended July 2, 2021, primarily related to the portions of the gain on disposal of property, plant, and equipment, net and other product-related charges which were attributable to a minority interest partner, reflected in net income (loss) attributable to redeemable and noncontrolling interests. Other adjustments for the six months ended June 26, 2020 related to estimated trade receivable credit losses, reflected in selling, general, and administrative expenses, primarily associated with the Company's foodservice customer base as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
|

Tax effects are calculated in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, using the same methodology as the GAAP provision of income taxes. Income tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments are calculated based on the applicable statutory tax rate for each jurisdiction in which such charges were incurred, except for those items which are non-taxable for which the tax provision (benefit) was calculated at 0%. Certain non-GAAP adjustments were subject to valuation allowances and therefore were calculated at 0%. The quarter and six months ended July 2, 2021 included a $0.8 million tax benefit associated with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, while the six months ended June 26, 2020 included a $1.7 million CARES Act tax benefit. |
