Investor Day 2026 summary
8 Oct, 2026Strategy and long-term targets
Shifted from more than 40 years of platform-building to compounding growth, earnings and cash flow from established capabilities; most major platform investment is behind it.
FY2035 ambitions: $4B in sales and $450M in adjusted EBITDA, including M&A; described as doubling sales and tripling earnings power.
Five-year targets: mid-single-digit organic sales growth, high-single-digit-plus adjusted EBITDA growth, ~300 bps of margin expansion and >90% free cash flow conversion.
Organic sales growth targets: total portfolio mid-single digits; U.S. avocado above market plus mid-single digits; international avocado, Prepared Foods and U.S. mango above market plus high-single digits; established platforms low-single digits.
Illustrative TSR framework targets high-single- to double-digit annual shareholder returns, supported by organic growth, margin expansion, M&A and share repurchases.
Growth platforms
U.S. avocado market was $5.9B in 2025, with estimated 27% share after the Calavo combination; five-year target is mid-single-digit growth above market.
Europe and Asia avocado addressable markets total $6.4B, with ~3% share and underpenetrated consumption; five-year target is high-single-digit growth above market. U.K. volume nearly quadrupled in three years, with Germany, Italy, Spain and France among priority markets.
Prepared Foods addresses a $2.7B global processed avocado market with ~3% share; gross margin is 1,300 bps above the legacy business. Capacity of ~100,000 sq. ft. supports $140M in annual sales, with limited incremental capital needed to add capacity.
U.S. mango market was $900M in 2025, with 6% share and a five-year high-single-digit growth target above market; a retail-ready bag delivered +33% volume and +28% dollar sales at a key retailer over eight weeks, with zero bulk cannibalization.
Controlled farms span 10,000+ acres and supply ~15% of volume; a network of 10,600 suppliers across at least two origins supplements the base.
Calavo integration and synergies
Calavo adds sourcing and packing in Mexico and California, customer reach, guacamole, papayas, tomatoes and Prepared Foods capabilities; integration focuses on cost savings, network utilization and business continuity.
Annualized synergy target increased from $25M to more than $30M; full run rate is targeted within 18 months of close, with a small contribution expected in Q4 FY2026 and margin benefits at full run rate by end-FY2027.
U.S. fresh operations completed; pooled supply, Temecula closure and redesigned U.S. distribution footprint are in place. Network and systems transitions are underway, followed by remaining operations and Mexico packing integration in 2027; one-company operations targeted within 18 months.
Network optimization is expected to deliver ~$5.4M in annualized savings.
Net leverage reduction of 0.5x or more is targeted by year-end FY2027.
