Commenting on the results, Carl McCann, Executive Chairman, said:
“We are pleased with our solid start to the year. Robust consumer demand in our key markets is driving revenue growth and contributing to positive momentum across the Group.
While we are experiencing complexity in the operating environment due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, we believe the strength of our broad and resilient business model positions us well to manage these evolving conditions.
We continue to target full year Adjusted EBITDA of at least $400 million.”
Group Results - First Quarter
Revenue increased 11.6%, or $242.8 million, primarily due to positive operational performance across all segments, mainly due to higher worldwide pricing in Fresh Fruit, and a favorable impact from foreign currency translation of $96.2 million. On a like-for-like basis2, revenue increased 7.0%, or $146.6 million.
Gross Profit increased $2.8 million, primarily due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher cost of sales which were impacted by higher fruit sourcing costs in the Fresh Fruit segment.
Operating Income decreased $5.9 million primarily due to higher SMG&A expenses and higher gains on asset sales in the prior year following the sale of land in Hawaii.
Net Income decreased to $37.7 million from $44.2 million in the prior year. This decrease was due to lower Operating Income, higher tax charges and lower equity method earnings, as the prior year included the benefit of a non-cash gain of $6.9 million on a M&A transaction relating to an equity method investment. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in other income due primarily to fair value adjustments of financial instruments and lower interest expense.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 4.3%, or $4.5 million, primarily driven by higher fruit sourcing costs in the Fresh Fruit segment, partially offset by good performance in the Diversified Fresh Produce - Americas & ROW segment, as well as a favorable impact of foreign currency translation of $3.2 million.
Adjusted Net Income decreased 5.8%, or $1.9 million, predominantly due to the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA noted above and higher depreciation expense, partially offset by lower interest expense. Adjusted Diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.33 compared to $0.35 in the prior year.

First Quarter Segmental Commentary
Fresh Fruit
Revenue increased 6.8%, or $59.5 million, primarily due to higher worldwide pricing of bananas, pineapples and plantains and higher volumes of bananas sold in Europe.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 17.0%, or $10.8 million, primarily driven by higher fruit costs in bananas due to higher overall sourcing costs in the market and higher fruit sourcing costs in pineapples, particularly due to the strengthening of the Costa Rican Colón against the U.S. Dollar.
Diversified Fresh Produce – EMEA
Revenue increased 14.6%, or $130.2 million, primarily due to a favorable impact from foreign currency translation of $94.6 million, as a result of the strengthening of the Swedish krona, Euro and British pound against the U.S. Dollar, as well as underlying growth in France and Germany. On a like-for-like basis, revenue increased 4.0%, or $35.7 million.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 8.3%, or $2.3 million, primarily due to a favorable impact from foreign currency translation of $3.7 million, as well as strong performance in Scandinavia and Germany. These increases were partially offset by weaker performance in South Africa, the U.K. and the Netherlands. On a like-for-like basis, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 5.1%, or $1.4 million.
Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas & ROW
Revenue increased 15.6%, or $56.6 million, primarily driven by higher volumes and positive pricing in our southern hemisphere export business, as well as higher volumes in our North America import and marketing businesses, offsetting lower pricing, primarily in avocados.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 28.7%, or $4.0 million, driven by a positive impact in our southern hemisphere export business, a good performance in our North America import and marketing businesses, in part supported by the benefit of a partial restructuring of our operations in the fourth quarter of 2025, as well as good performance in our joint ventures operations.
Capital Expenditures
Cash capital expenditures from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $17.8 million. Expenditures included farming investments, investments in warehouse ripening rooms in France and the U.K., as well as other machinery and equipment related to blueberry and avocado packing in Europe.
Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations, Net Debt and Net Leverage
Free cash flow from continuing operations was an outflow of $40.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to an outflow of $131.6 million in the prior year. The improvement in free cash flow was due to lower seasonal working capital outflows and lower capital expenditures in the current year. Net Debt and Net Leverage as of March 31, 2026 was $657.1 million and 1.7x, respectively.
Dividend
On May 8, 2026, the Board of Directors of Dole plc declared a cash dividend for the first quarter of 2026 of $0.085 per share, payable on July 8, 2026 to shareholders of record on June 17, 2026. A cash dividend of $0.085 per share was paid on April 8, 2026 for the fourth quarter of 2025.
Share Repurchase Program
During the quarter, we repurchased 306,570 shares at an average price of $15.13 per share, totaling $4.6 million. $95.4 million remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase program.
Outlook for Fiscal Year 2026 (forward-looking statement)
We are pleased with the solid start to the year and the positive momentum we are seeing across our operations.
Conditions in the Middle East continue to evolve, resulting in a more complex operating environment and directly impacting on our cost base. We anticipate increased shipping and fuel costs in the second quarter, particularly in our Fresh Fruit segment. However, as the year progresses, we expect to see the benefit of contract price adjustments, as well as the benefit of our dynamic pricing strategy in our diversified divisions, coming through.
We believe that our resilient and diversified business model positions us well to handle today's complex environment. Alongside this, demand for our products remains strong, supported by prevailing health and wellness trends. We also anticipate positive returns from our recent investments and remain committed to advancing our development pipeline.
Considering all relevant factors, we are maintaining our target of a full-year Adjusted EBITDA of at least $400 million for 2026.
We are maintaining our guidance for routine capex of approximately $100 million. In addition, we continue to explore a range of development opportunities which, if executed, will strengthen our business and continue to drive further growth in the years to come.
We are reducing our full year interest expense guidance by $2 million to approximately $58 million.
