So what Following similar results earlier this week from peer Calavo Growers, Mission Produce missed estimates on the top and bottom lines. On the bottom line, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) fell from $26.4 million in the quarter a year ago to $17.2 million, and it posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.13, down from $0.24 a year ago and much worse than the consensus at $0.37. Management blamed a variety of factors for the weak performance, including lower prices, cost inflation, a disappointing sales mix, and a delay in its transition to Mexican production.
