Mission Produce soars 15% on strong Q3 earnings beat

OXNARD, Calif. – Mission Produce, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVO) saw its shares jump 15% after the avocado producer reported fiscal third quarter earnings that handily beat analyst expectations.

The company posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.23, significantly exceeding the $0.03 consensus estimate. Revenue came in at $324 million, also topping the $230.95 million analysts were expecting.

Mission Produce’s strong performance was driven by higher avocado pricing, which offset lower volumes. Average per-unit avocado sales prices increased 36% YoY, more than compensating for a 10% decrease in avocado volume sold.

“We are pleased to report another quarter of strong financial performance, marked by robust third quarter revenues of $324.0 million, an increase of 24% year-over-year and a 49% increase in adjusted EBITDA to $31.5 million,” said CEO Steve Barnard.

The company’s Marketing and Distribution segment was a key driver, with adjusted EBITDA surging 66% to $26.8 million on improved per-unit gross margins.

For Q4, Mission Produce expects industry volumes to be flat to slightly lower compared to last year. Pricing is anticipated to decrease sequentially but remain about 15% higher than the $1.39 per pound average in Q4 2023.
