Fresh Del Monte Produce Q1 EPS falls to $0.21 as net sales drop 4.9% to $1.04 billion

Negative Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. reported first-quarter 2026 results for the quarter ended March 27, 2026, with net sales down 4.9% to $1.04 billion and GAAP diluted EPS of $0.21, versus $0.64 a year earlier. The company also reported adjusted diluted EPS of $0.63 against $0.81, and cited a $20.0 million asset impairment and other charges line; the filing gives no revised full-year outlook. The quarter includes early results from the Del Monte Foods acquisition, which closed March 19, 2026.

Key points

  • GAAP diluted EPS was $0.21 versus $0.64 in the prior-year quarter; adjusted diluted EPS was $0.63 versus $0.81.
  • Net sales were $1,044.1 million versus $1,098.4 million, a decline of 4.9%, partly offset by the Del Monte Foods acquisition.
  • Operating income was $20.1 million versus $44.9 million, mainly due to $20.0 million in asset impairment and other charges, net.
  • Long-term debt rose to $438.0 million from $173.0 million at fiscal year-end 2025, tied to the Del Monte Foods acquisition.
