Commenting on the results, Carl McCann, Executive Chairman, said:

“We are pleased with the Group’s solid performance in the third quarter against a challenging operating backdrop.

The strategic actions we have taken over the last 18 months have strengthened our business, leaving Dole a more focused company today, with greater financial flexibility to support our continued development.

Due to the higher cost environment, our expectations for the remainder of the year have moderated and we are now targeting full-year Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $380 million to $390 million for 2026.”

Group Results - Third Quarter

Revenue increased 3.8%, or $87.3 million, primarily due to positive operational performance in the Diversified Fresh Produce - Americas & ROW and Diversified Fresh Produce - EMEA segments together with a net positive impact from acquisitions and divestitures of $47.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in revenue in Fresh Fruit. On a like-for-like basis2, revenue increased 2.0%, or $46.1 million.

Gross Profit increased $13.5 million, primarily due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher cost of sales due to increased trading activity in the Diversified Fresh Produce - Americas & ROW segment as well as the Diversified Fresh Produce - EMEA segment due to increased trading activity and the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures.

Operating Income increased $64.7 million, primarily due to the gain of $48.6 million on the Ecuador port sale, higher Gross Profit and lower impairment charges on assets, offset partially by higher SMG&A expenses.

Net Income increased to $48.3 million from $13.8 million in the prior year, primarily due to higher Operating Income and lower interest expense, as well as a loss of $10.2 million in discontinued operations (Fresh Vegetables) that occurred in the prior year only. This increase was partially offset by higher tax expense which included a $22.2 million tax charge on the Ecuador port sale and lower other income, primarily reflecting $10.0 million of insurance proceeds recognized in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 4.1%, or $3.3 million, primarily driven by good performance in the Diversified Fresh Produce - Americas & ROW segment as well as an increase in Fresh Fruit offset by a marginal decrease in Diversified Fresh Produce - EMEA.

Adjusted Net Income was in line with prior year, with higher Adjusted EBITDA, lower depreciation charges and lower interest expense offset primarily by higher tax expense. Adjusted Diluted EPS was $0.16 for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and the prior year.

Third Quarter Segmental Commentary

Fresh Fruit

Revenue decreased 8.0%, or $71.7 million, primarily due to tariff-related impacts, as well as lower banana volumes in North America and lower pineapple volumes in Europe, reflecting the impact of adverse weather conditions on supply. This decrease was partially offset by higher banana volumes in Europe, improved underlying banana pricing in North America and the benefit of contractual fuel surcharge mechanisms.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.0%, or $1.6 million, primarily driven by improved underlying banana pricing in North America and higher banana volumes in Europe. These benefits were partially offset by elevated pineapple production costs due to adverse weather conditions and the continued strengthening of the Costa Rican Colón against the U.S. Dollar. Our key markets continued to experience increased shipping and logistics costs due to higher fuel costs, partially offset by the related fuel surcharge benefits in North America.

Diversified Fresh Produce – EMEA

Revenue increased 9.3%, or $92.9 million, primarily due to the acquisition of Greenfood Fresh Produce in Scandinavia at the beginning of the quarter, as well as underlying growth in Scandinavia, partially offset by lower revenue in Spain. On a like-for-like basis, revenue increased 4.1%, or $41.3 million.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 3.1%, or $1.3 million, primarily due to weaker performance in the Netherlands and Spain, partially offset by an improved performance in Scandinavia, Ireland and the U.K. On a like-for-like basis, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 2.0%, or $0.8 million.

Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas & ROW

Revenue increased 14.1%, or $59.2 million, primarily driven by higher volumes in our North America business with strong underlying growth in key products including kiwi, avocados, grapes and tomatoes.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 22.8%, or $2.9 million, driven by a strong performance in our North American business, reflecting positive volume growth as well as a good performance in our Southern Hemisphere export business.

Capital Expenditures

Cash capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $64.4 million. Expenditures included farming investments in Latin America, investments in distribution facilities and ripening rooms in Europe, as well as other machinery and equipment related to blueberry and avocado packing in Europe.

Greenfood Fresh Produce Acquisition

On July 2, 2026, the acquisition of Greenfood Fresh Produce was completed. Greenfood Fresh Produce is a fresh produce distributor in the Nordic region, and the acquisition strengthens the Group’s position in this market. Preliminary cash consideration paid, less cash acquired, was $0.4 million. The Group is progressing plans for the multi-year development of the Helsingborg facility acquired with the business, incorporating advanced warehouse and robotics technology to support greater operational efficiency.

Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations, Net Debt and Net Leverage

Free cash flow from continuing operations was an inflow of $59.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to an outflow of $66.2 million in the prior year. The improvement primarily reflected lower seasonal working capital outflows, the timing benefit of tariff-related impacts, lower tax and interest payments, and lower capital expenditures in the current year.

Net Debt was impacted by the completion of the Ecuador port sale. Net cash proceeds, after accounting for the pre-closing ownership restructuring and net of cash transferred, transaction completion adjustments and transaction costs paid, were $126.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The cumulative net cash proceeds, including adjustments for cash taxes to be paid, transaction costs and other adjustment items, are expected to be approximately $95.0 million. Net Debt and Net Leverage as of September 30, 2026 were $491.3 million and 1.3x, respectively.

Dividend

On November 6, 2026, the Board of Directors of Dole plc declared a cash dividend for the third quarter of 2026 of $0.085 per share, payable on January 6, 2027 to shareholders of record on December 16, 2026. A cash dividend of $0.085 per share was paid on October 7, 2026 for the second quarter of 2026.

Share Repurchase Program

During the quarter, we repurchased 762,319 shares at an average price of $13.10 per share, totaling $10.0 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we repurchased 1,788,179 shares at an average price of $13.76 per share, totaling $24.6 million. As of September 30, 2026, $75.4 million remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase program.

Outlook for Fiscal Year 2026 (forward-looking statement)

As we move through the final quarter of the year, the Group continues to demonstrate its resilience. Fuel and shipping costs remain elevated and weather conditions, including the effects of El Niño, continue to affect fruit availability. Within Fresh Fruit, our fuel surcharge mechanisms in North America provide significant protection against higher shipping fuel costs. In Europe, higher shipping fuel costs are expected to have an impact of approximately $16 million relative to our original expectations for 2026.

We continue to expect year-on-year improvement in the fourth quarter, albeit at a lower level than anticipated at the time of our second quarter results.

We are now targeting full-year Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $380 million to $390 million for 2026, compared with approximately $400 million previously.

For full-year 2026, we are reducing our guidance for routine capital expenditure to approximately $90 million and maintaining our interest expense guidance at approximately $58 million.

Net Debt and Net Leverage Reconciliation – Unaudited

Net Debt is the primary measure used by management to analyze the Company’s capital structure. Net Debt is a non-GAAP financial measure, calculated as cash and cash equivalents, less current and long-term debt. It also excludes debt discounts and debt issuance costs. Net Leverage is calculated as total Net Debt divided by Last Twelve Months ("LTM") Adjusted EBITDA as of the period end. The calculation of Net Debt and Net Leverage as of September 30, 2026 is presented below. Net Debt as of September 30, 2026 was $491.3 million and Net Leverage was 1.3x.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Dole plc’s results are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

In addition to its results under U.S. GAAP, in this Press Release, we also present Dole plc’s Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations, Net Debt and Net Leverage, which are supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP (collectively, the "non-GAAP financial measures"). We present these non-GAAP financial measures, because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results, cash flows or any other measure prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by any of the adjusted items or that any projections and estimates will be realized in their entirety or at all. In addition, adjustment items that are excluded from non-GAAP results can have a material impact on equivalent GAAP earnings, financial measures and cash flows.

Adjusted EBIT is calculated from GAAP net income by: (1) subtracting the income or adding the loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes; (2) adding the income tax expense or subtracting the income tax benefit; (3) adding interest expense; (4) adding mark to market losses or subtracting mark to market gains related to unrealized impacts from certain derivative instruments and foreign currency denominated borrowings, realized impacts on noncash settled foreign currency denominated borrowings, net foreign currency impacts on liquidated entities and fair value movements on contingent consideration; (5) other items which are separately stated based on materiality, which during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, included subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the disposal of business interests, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on asset sales for assets held for sale and actively marketed property or sales-type leases, adding impairment charges or held for sale classification losses on property, plant and equipment and lease assets, adding or subtracting asset write-downs from extraordinary events, net of insurance proceeds, subtracting interest income on deferred transaction consideration, adding acquisition and transaction costs, adding restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the ordinary course of business and adding debt refinancing expenses; and (6) the Company’s share of these items from equity method investments.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated from GAAP net income by: (1) subtracting the income or adding the loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes; (2) adding the income tax expense or subtracting the income tax benefit; (3) adding interest expense; (4) adding depreciation charges; (5) adding amortization charges on intangible assets; (6) adding mark to market losses or subtracting mark to market gains related to unrealized impacts from certain derivative instruments and foreign currency denominated borrowings, realized impacts on noncash settled foreign currency denominated borrowings, net foreign currency impacts on liquidated entities and fair value movements on contingent consideration; (7) other items which are separately stated based on materiality, which during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, included subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the disposal of business interests, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on asset sales for assets held for sale and actively marketed property or sales-type leases, adding impairment charges or held‑for‑sale losses on property, plant and equipment and lease assets, adding or subtracting asset write-downs from extraordinary events, net of insurance proceeds, subtracting interest income on deferred transaction consideration, adding acquisition and transaction costs, adding restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the normal course of business and adding debt refinancing expenses; and (8) the Company’s share of these items from equity method investments.

Last Twelve Months ("LTM") Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, for the last twelve months as of the period end, which for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, is calculated as subtracting the Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from the Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2025 and then adding Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. LTM Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2025 is the same as Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Adjusted Net Income is calculated from GAAP net income attributable to Dole plc by: (1) subtracting the income or adding the loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes; (2) adding amortization charges on intangible assets; (3) adding mark to market losses or subtracting mark to market gains related to unrealized impacts from certain derivative instruments and foreign currency denominated borrowings, realized impacts on noncash settled foreign currency denominated borrowings, net foreign currency impacts on liquidated entities and fair value movements on contingent consideration; (4) other items which are separately stated based on materiality, which during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, included subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the disposal of business interests, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on asset sales for assets held for sale and actively marketed property or sales-type leases, adding impairment charges or held for sale classification losses on property, plant and equipment and lease assets, adding or subtracting asset write-downs from extraordinary events, net of insurance proceeds, adding acquisition and transaction costs, adding restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the normal course of business and adding debt refinancing expenses; (5) the Company’s share of these items from equity method investments; (6) excluding the tax effect of these items and discrete tax adjustments; and (7) excluding the effect of these items attributable to non-controlling interests.

Adjusted Earnings per Share is calculated from Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average number of shares in the applicable period.

Net Debt is a non-GAAP financial measure, calculated as GAAP cash and cash equivalents, less GAAP current and long-term debt. It also excludes GAAP unamortized debt discounts and debt issuance costs.

Net Leverage is a non-GAAP financial measure, calculated as Net Debt divided by LTM Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are defined above.

Free cash flow from continuing operations is calculated from GAAP net cash used in or provided by operating activities for continuing operations less GAAP capital expenditures.

Like-for-like basis refers to the U.S. GAAP measure or non-GAAP financial measure excluding the impact of foreign currency translation movements and acquisitions and divestitures. The impact of foreign currency translation represents an estimate of the effect of translating the results of operations denominated in a foreign currency to U.S. Dollar at prior year average rates, as compared to current year average rates.

Dole is not able to provide a reconciliation for projected FY'26 results without taking unreasonable efforts.
