General General
 
Reference in this Report to “Fresh Del Monte”, “we”, “our” and “us” and the “Company” refer to Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Nature of Business
 
We were incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands in 1996. We are one of the world’s leading vertically integrated producers, marketers and distributors of high-quality fresh and fresh-cut fruit and vegetables, as well as a leading producer and marketer of prepared fruit and vegetables, juices, beverages and snacks in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. We market our products worldwide under the Del Monte® brand, a symbol of product innovation, quality, freshness and reliability since 1892. Our major sales markets are organized as follows: North America, Europe, the Middle East (which includes North Africa) and Asia. Our global sourcing and logistics system allows us to provide regular delivery of consistently high-quality produce and value-added services to our customers. Our major production operations are located in North, Central and South America, Asia and Africa. Our products are sourced from company-owned operations and through supply contracts with independent growers.

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer ("the CODM Group"). As disclosed in Note 14, "Business Segment Data", during the quarter ended March 27, 2026, we realigned certain of our reportable segments to conform with changes of our organizational structure, including how our CODM regularly reviews the performance of, and allocates resources to, these segments. Our historical segment reporting has been recast to reflect our current organizational structure which is now comprised of four reportable segments, three of which represent our primary businesses of fresh and value-added products, banana and prepared foods, and one that represents our other ancillary businesses.

Fresh and value-added products - includes pineapples, fresh-cut fruit, fresh-cut vegetables (which includes fresh-cut salads), melons, vegetables, non-tropical fruit (including grapes, apples, citrus, blueberries, strawberries, pears, peaches, plums, nectarines, cherries and kiwis), other fruit and vegetables, and avocados.

Banana

Prepared Foods - includes prepared fruit and vegetables, juices, other beverages, and meals and snacks.

Other products and services - includes our third-party freight and logistic services business, our Jordanian poultry and meats business and our specialty ingredients business.

Acquisition of Del Monte Foods Assets

On March 19, 2026, we completed our acquisition of select assets of Del Monte Foods Corporation II Inc. and its affiliates ("Del Monte Foods") following a court-supervised bankruptcy auction process under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code for consideration of $310.2 million. For additional information, see Note 3, "Acquisitions".

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended March 27, 2026 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter ended March 27, 2026 are subject to significant seasonal variations and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 1, 2027. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2025.
We are required to evaluate events occurring after March 27, 2026 for recognition and disclosure in the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended March 27, 2026. Events are evaluated based on whether they represent information existing as of March 27, 2026, which require recognition in the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, or new events occurring after March 27, 2026 which do not require recognition but require disclosure if the event is significant to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. We evaluated events occurring subsequent to March 27, 2026 through the date of issuance of these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
