Calavo Growers, Inc. (CVGW) will release its fiscal fourth‑quarter and full‑year 2025 financial results and file its Form 10‑K on January 14, 2026, after the market closes.
The company’s fiscal year ends October 31, 2025. In the most recent quarter, Calavo reported total net sales of $170.0 million, a 19.5 % increase from the $141.5 million reported in Q4 2023. Gross profit margin fell to 9.6 % from 10.0 % in the prior year quarter, reflecting higher input costs and a shift in product mix toward lower‑margin prepared foods.
Segment analysis shows the Fresh business, which includes fresh avocado and related products, experienced a 5 % decline in sales in Q3 2025, largely due to an FDA detention hold on Mexican avocado imports that reduced supply. In contrast, the Prepared segment grew 40 % in the same period, driven by strong demand for ready‑to‑eat avocado products and expansion into new retail channels.
Management highlighted the company’s recent regulatory milestone, noting that the SEC staff concluded its investigation and will not recommend enforcement action, removing a significant compliance risk. CEO Lecil E. Cole announced his retirement, and the board confirmed that a new CEO will be appointed in the coming months, signaling a leadership transition that may influence strategic priorities.
Calavo’s Q3 2025 earnings per share of $0.57 fell short of the $0.60 consensus estimate, a miss of $0.03 or 5 %. The miss was attributed to the Fresh segment slowdown and higher operating expenses, while the Prepared segment’s growth helped offset some of the pressure. The company will provide full‑year guidance in the earnings release, offering insight into its outlook for revenue, profitability, and capital allocation.
The upcoming earnings release will also include a detailed review of the company’s cost‑control initiatives, supply‑chain adjustments, and strategic focus on high‑margin prepared foods, providing investors with a clearer view of Calavo’s trajectory in a market characterized by volatile avocado prices and evolving consumer preferences.
