CapyFin.com Forward Guidance
Mission Produce updated its full fiscal year modeling assumptions for sales, volume and adjusted EBITDA.
Positive Outlook
- Full year fiscal 2021 net sales are now expected in the range of $890 million to $910 million.
- Expectations for avocado production from owned farms remains unchanged in the range of 95 million to 105 million pounds.
Challenges Ahead
- Total annual volume in the range of 655 million to 665 million pounds, which is lower than prior guidance by approximately 15 million pounds, partially due to a smaller size curve on Mexican fruit.
- Full year fiscal 2021 adjusted EBITDA is now expected in the range of $88 million to $94 million, but may be influenced by future pricing and margin dynamics.
- The reduction in adjusted EBITDA from prior guidance is due primarily to the shortfalls experienced in fiscal third quarter, combined with continued pressure on per-unit gross margins that are extending into the early part of the fiscal fourth quarter, due to challenging supply conditions in Mexico.
