Positive Outlook

- Pricing is expected to be higher on a year-over-year basis by approximately 20% compared to the $1.40 per pound average experienced in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, indicative of continued strength in demand.
- The blueberries harvest season in Peru will peak during the first quarter.
- The Company expects to see meaningful volume increases from owned farms resulting from yield improvements and new acreage in production.
- Total capital expenditures inclusive of the 2024 carryover are expected to be between $50 to $55 million.
Challenges Ahead
- While supply from Mexico has been constrained during the early part of the quarter due to fruit maturity and sizing.
- The impact on revenue will likely be offset by lower average sales prices resulting from higher overall industry volumes from Peru.
- Pricing is expected to be approximately 30% lower compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024
- Lower pricing will negatively impact segment adjusted EBITDA during the quarter as compared to the previous year when weather-related supply constraints led to abnormally high sales prices.
- Capital expenditures were lower than expected for fiscal 2024 by approximately $10 million due to the timing of vendor payments, both of which will carryover into fiscal 2025.
