2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and subsequent amendments to the guidance, ASU 2021-01 in January 2021 and ASU 2022-06 in December 2022. The amendments in these updates provide optional guidance to companies to ease the potential burden associated with reference rate reform. Specifically, the guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions to apply generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. As of December 30, 2022, we had LIBOR-based borrowings and interest rate swaps that referenced LIBOR. Effective January 3, 2023, we amended our agreements and transitioned to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Term SOFR) for these instruments. We adopted the optional guidance in Topic 848 in conjunction with our contract amendments which allowed us to (i) account for the modification to our debt agreement as a continuation of the existing contract and (ii) continue applying hedge accounting for our interest rate swaps. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3.  Asset Impairment and Other Charges (Credits), Net (continued)

(1) We incurred costs related to property and equipment damage due to severe flooding caused by heavy rainstorms in Greece during both the quarter ended September 29, 2023 and the nine months ended September 29, 2023, which directly impacted our seasonal production factory. The Company has flood insurance and is in the process of submitting claims to its insurer for reimbursement. The Company is also seeking government assistance for emergency disaster relief.
(2) We received insurance reimbursement and other credits of $2.8 million during the quarter ended September 29, 2023, in connection with a cybersecurity incident which occurred during early 2023. During the nine months ended September 29, 2023, we incurred cybersecurity expenses of $1.3 million, net of insurance reimbursements received, primarily related to the engagement of specialized legal counsel and other incident response advisors.
(3) We recorded a reduction in our environmental liability of $9.9 million related to the Kunia Well Site clean-up.

4. Income Taxes

In connection with the examination of the tax returns in two foreign jurisdictions, the taxing authorities have issued income tax deficiencies related to transfer pricing aggregating approximately $160.3 million (including interest and penalties) for tax years 2012 through 2016. We strongly disagree with the proposed adjustments and have filed a protest with each of the taxing authorities.

In one of the foreign jurisdictions, we are currently contesting tax assessments related to the 2012-2015 audit years and the 2016 audit year in both the administrative court and the judicial court. During 2019 and 2020, we filed actions contesting the tax assessment in the administrative office. Our initial challenge to each of these tax assessments was rejected, and we subsequently lost our appeals at the administrative court. We have subsequently filed actions to contest each of these tax assessments in the country’s judicial courts. In addition, we have filed a request for injunction to the judicial court to stay the tax authorities' collection efforts for these two tax assessments, pending final judicial decisions. The court granted our injunction with respect to the 2016 audit year, however denied our injunction with respect to the 2012-2015 audit years. We timely appealed the denial of the injunction, and on August 10, 2022 the appellate court overturned the denial and granted our injunction for the 2012-2015 audit years. Pursuant to local law, we registered real estate collateral with an approximate fair market value of $7.0 million in connection with the grant of the 2016 audit year injunction. This real estate collateral has a net book value of $3.8 million as of the quarter ended September 29, 2023. In addition, in connection with the grant of the 2012-2015 audit year injunction, we registered real estate collateral with an approximate fair market value of $28.5 million, and a net book value of $4.6 million as of the quarter ended September 29, 2023. The registration of this real estate collateral does not affect our operations in the country.

In the other foreign jurisdiction, the administrative court denied our appeal, and on March 4, 2020 we filed an action in the judicial court to contest the administrative court's decision. The case is still pending.

We will continue to vigorously contest the adjustments and intend to exhaust all administrative and judicial remedies necessary in both jurisdictions to resolve the matters, which could be a lengthy process.

Income tax provision was $4.1 million for the quarter ended September 29, 2023 compared with $3.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and was $24.9 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2023 compared with $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in the income tax provision in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 was primarily due to increased earnings in certain higher tax jurisdictions combined with the tax effect related to the sale of our plastics business subsidiary in South America during the second quarter of 2023. Additionally, the increase in the income tax provision for the nine months ended September 29, 2023 also reflects the tax effects of our asset sales in Saudi Arabia and North America during the first quarter of the year. The income tax provision for both the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and the nine months ended September 30, 2022, included the impact of a $1.5 million provision recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 2022 relating to a change in our assertion that certain foreign earnings are no longer deemed permanently reinvested.

5.  Allowance for Credit Losses
 
We estimate expected credit losses on our trade receivables and financing receivables in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables as of September 29, 2023 were $372.2 million, net of an allowance of $21.5 million. Our allowance for trade receivables consists of two components: a $7.6 million allowance for credit losses and a $13.9 million allowance for customer claims accounted for under the scope of ASC 606 - Revenue Recognition.

As a result of our robust credit monitoring practices, the industry in which we operate, and the nature of our customer base, the credit losses associated with our trade receivables have historically been insignificant in comparison to our annual net sales. We measure the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. We generally pool our trade receivables based on the geographic region or country to which the receivables relate. Receivables that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated for collectability on an individual basis.

Our historical credit loss experience provides the basis for our estimation of expected credit losses. We generally use a three-year average annual loss rate as a starting point for our estimation, and make adjustments to the historical loss rate to account for differences in current conditions impacting the collectability of our receivable pools. We generally monitor macroeconomic indicators to assess whether adjustments are necessary to reflect current conditions.

The table below presents a rollforward of our trade receivable allowance for credit losses for the nine months ended September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022 (U.S. dollars in millions):

The amount in the long-term allowance related to trade receivables as of September 29, 2023 is not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financing Receivables

Financing receivables are included in other accounts receivable, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and are recognized at amortized cost less an allowance for estimated credit losses. Financing receivables include seasonal advances to growers and suppliers, which are usually short-term in nature, and other financing receivables.

5.  Allowance for Credit Losses (continued)

A significant portion of the fresh produce we sell is acquired through supply contracts with independent growers. In order to ensure the consistent high quality of our products and packaging, we make advances to independent growers and suppliers. These growers and suppliers typically sell all of their production to us and make payments on their advances as a deduction to the agreed upon selling price of the fruit or packaging material. The majority of the advances to growers and suppliers are for terms less than one year and typically span a growing season. In certain cases, there may be longer term advances with terms of up to five years.

We measure the allowance for credit losses on advances to suppliers and growers on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. We generally pool our advances based on the country to which they relate, and further disaggregate them based on their current or past-due status. We generally consider an advance to a grower to be past due when the advance is not fully paid within the respective growing season. The allowance for advances to growers and suppliers that do not share similar risk characteristics are determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the expected production for the season and other contributing factors. The advances are typically collateralized by property liens and pledges of the respective season’s produce. Occasionally, we agree to a payment plan with these growers or take steps to recover the advance via established collateral. We may write-off uncollectible financing receivables after our collection efforts are exhausted.

Our historical credit loss experience provides the basis for our estimation of expected credit losses. We generally use a three-year average annual loss rate as a starting point for our estimation, and make adjustments to the historical loss rate to account for differences in current or expected future conditions. We generally monitor macroeconomic indicators as well as other factors, including unfavorable weather conditions and crop diseases, which may impact the collectability of the advances when assessing whether adjustments to the historical loss rate are necessary.

The following table details the advances to growers and suppliers based on their credit risk profile (U.S. dollars in millions):

6.  Share-Based Compensation

We maintain various compensation plans for officers, other employees, and non-employee members of our Board of Directors. On June 2, 2022, our shareholders approved and ratified the 2022 Omnibus Share Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”). The 2022 Plan allows us to grant equity-based compensation awards including restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”), stock options, and restricted stock awards. The 2022 Plan replaces and supersedes the 2014 Omnibus Share Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”). No awards can be granted under the Prior Plan upon adoption of the 2022 Plan. Under the 2022 Plan, the Board of Directors is authorized to award up to (i) 2,800,000 ordinary shares plus (ii) any ordinary shares remaining available for future awards under the Prior Plan at the time of adoption (of which there were approximately 241,263) plus (iii) any ordinary shares with respect to awards and Prior Plan awards that are forfeited, canceled, expire unexercised, or are settled in cash following adoption of the 2022 Plan.

June 15, 2022PSU46,22223.71 
June 2, 2022RSU41,30725.42 

Under the 2022 Plan and Prior Plan, each RSU/PSU represents a contingent right to receive one of our ordinary shares. The PSUs are subject to meeting minimum performance criteria set by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The actual number of shares the recipient receives is determined based on the results achieved versus performance goals. Those performance goals are based on exceeding a measure of our earnings. Depending on the results achieved, the actual number of shares that an award recipient receives at the end of the period may range from 0% to 100% of the award units granted, or as it relates to 2023 PSU awards granted to our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, 0% to 125% of the award units granted. Provided such criteria are met, the PSUs granted during 2023 and prior to 2022 vest in three equal annual installments on each of the next three anniversary dates. PSUs granted during 2022 vest in three equal installments in 1) June and July 2023, 2) March 2024, and 3) March 2025. All PSU vesting is contingent on the recipient's continued employment with us.

Expense for RSUs is recognized on a straight line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. RSUs granted in 2023 and 2021 vest annually in three equal installments over a three-year service period while RSUs granted prior to 2021 vested 20% on the grant date, with 20% vesting on each of the next four anniversaries. RSUs granted in 2022 vest in three equal installments in June 2023, March 2024 and March 2025. RSUs granted to our Board of Directors generally vest after a one-year period.

The fair market value for RSUs and PSUs is based on the closing price of our stock on the grant date. We recognize expenses related to RSUs and PSUs based on the fair market value, as determined on the grant date, ratably over the vesting period, provided the performance condition, if any, is probable. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

RSUs and PSUs do not have the voting rights of ordinary shares, and the shares underlying the RSUs and PSUs are not considered issued and outstanding. However, shares underlying RSUs/PSUs are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share to the extent the performance criteria are met, if any.

Credit Facility

On October 1, 2019, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Second A&R Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and BofA Securities, Inc. as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner and certain other lenders. The Second A&R Credit Agreement provides for a five-year, $0.9 billion syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) maturing on October 1, 2024. Certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations under the Second A&R Credit Agreement. We intend to use funds borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility from time to time for general corporate purposes, working capital, capital expenditures and other permitted investment opportunities.

On December 30, 2022, we and certain of our subsidiaries executed Amendment No. 1 to the Second A&R Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with the financial institutions and other lenders named therein, including Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and BofA Securities, Inc. as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner. Pursuant to the Amendment, the reference interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to replace the Eurocurrency Rate with the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) effective January 3, 2023. As amended, Term Loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility can be Base Rate Loans, Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans. All other material terms of the Second A&R Credit Agreement, as amended, remain unchanged.

Effective January 3, 2023, amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest, at our election, at either (i) the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement) plus a margin that ranges from 1.0% to 1.5% or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement) plus a margin that ranges from 0% to 0.5%, in each case based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement). The Second A&R Credit Agreement interest rate grid provides for five pricing levels for interest rate margins.

The Second A&R Credit Agreement provides for an accordion feature that permits us, without the consent of the other lenders, to request that one or more lenders provide us with increases in revolving credit facility or term loans up to an aggregate of $300 million (“Incremental Increases”). The aggregate amount of Incremental Increases can be further increased to the extent that after giving effect to the proposed increase in revolving credit facility commitments or term loans our Consolidated Leverage Ratio, on a pro forma basis, would not exceed 2.50 to 1.00. Our ability to request such increases in the Revolving Credit Facility or term loans is subject to our compliance with customary conditions set forth in the Second A&R Credit Agreement including compliance, on a pro forma basis, with the financial covenants and ratios set forth therein. Upon our request, each lender may decide, in its sole discretion, whether to increase all or a portion of its revolving credit facility commitment or provide term loans.

The Second A&R Credit Agreement requires us to comply with certain financial and other covenants. Specifically, it requires us to maintain 1) a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1.00 at any time during any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, subject to certain exceptions and 2) minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 2.25 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. Additionally, it requires us to comply with certain other covenants, including limitations on capital expenditures, stock repurchases, the amount of dividends that can be paid in the future, the amount and types of liens and indebtedness, material asset sales, and mergers. Under the Second A&R Credit Agreement, we are permitted to declare or pay cash dividends in any fiscal year up to an amount that does not exceed the greater of (i) an amount equal to the greater of (A) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement) for the immediately preceding fiscal year or (B) $25 million or (ii) the greatest amount which would not cause the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (determined on a pro forma basis) to exceed 3.25 to 1.00. It also provides an allowance for stock repurchases to be an amount not exceeding the greater of (i) $150 million in the aggregate or (ii) the amount that, after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related borrowings, will not cause the Consolidated Leverage Ratio to exceed 3.25 to 1.00. As of September 29, 2023, we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the Second A&R Credit Agreement.

Debt issuance costs of $0.2 million and $0.6 million are included in other noncurrent assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022, respectively.

The margin for SOFR advances as of September 29, 2023 was 1.125%.

The Revolving Credit Facility permits borrowings under the revolving commitment with an interest rate determined based on our leverage ratio and spread over SOFR. In addition, we pay a fee on unused commitments.

As of September 29, 2023, we applied $36.3 million to letters of credit and bank guarantees issued from Rabobank Nederland, Bank of America, and other banks.

During 2018, we entered into interest rate swaps in order to hedge the risk of the fluctuation on future interest payments related to our variable rate borrowings from our Revolving Credit Facility. Refer to Note 13, “Derivative Financial Instruments.

Kunia Well Site
 
In 1980, elevated levels of certain chemicals were detected in the soil and ground-water at a plantation leased by one of our U.S. subsidiaries in Honolulu, Hawaii (the “Kunia Well Site”). In 2005, our subsidiary signed a Consent Decree (“Consent Decree”) with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) for the performance of the clean-up work for the Kunia Well Site. Based on findings from remedial investigations, our subsidiary coordinated with the EPA to evaluate the clean-up work required in accordance with the Consent Decree. On July 25, 2022, an Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD) for the Kunia Well Site was filed by the EPA, which formally transitioned the remedy for the Kunia Well Site to a Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA), thereby reducing our potential liability. In connection with the above decision, we recorded a $9.9 million reduction in our liability during the year ended December 30, 2022 to reflect the decrease in estimated costs associated with the clean-up. Refer to Note 3, "Asset Impairment and Other Charges (Credits), Net" for further information.

The revised estimate associated with the clean-up costs, and on which our accrual is based, is $2.7 million. As of September 29, 2023, $2.4 million was included in other noncurrent liabilities, and $0.3 million was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the Kunia Well Site clean-up. We expect to expend approximately $0.3 million in 2023, $0.6 million in 2024, $0.5 million in 2025, $0.4 million in 2026, and $0.1 million in 2027.

Additional Information
 
In addition to the foregoing, we are involved from time to time in various claims and legal actions incident to our operations, both as plaintiff and defendant. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, none of these other claims are currently expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or our cash flows.

We provide certain other retirement benefits to certain employees who are not U.S.-based and are not included above. Generally, benefits under these programs are based on an employee’s length of service and level of compensation. These programs are immaterial to our consolidated financial statements. The net periodic benefit costs related to other non-U.S. based plans is $0.5 million for the quarter ended September 29, 2023 and $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The net periodic benefit costs related to other non-U.S. based plans is $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2023 and $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Service costs are presented in the same line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the employees during the period. With the exception of service cost, the other components of net periodic benefit costs (which include interest costs, expected return on assets, curtailment and settlement expenses, and amortization of net actuarial losses) are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in other expense, net.

13.  Derivative Financial Instruments

Our derivative financial instruments reduce our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and variable interest rates. We designate our derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges.
 
Counterparties expose us to credit loss in the event of non-performance of hedges. We monitor our exposure to counterparty non-performance risk both at inception of the hedge and at least quarterly thereafter.

Fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments are generally offset by changes in the cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. A cash flow hedge requires that the change in the fair value of a derivative instrument be recognized in other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity, and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item.

Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require the current credit relationship between us and our counterparty to be maintained throughout the term of the derivative instruments. If that credit relationship changes, certain provisions could be triggered, and the counterparty could request immediate collateralization of derivative instruments in a net liability position above a certain threshold. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with a credit-risk-related contingent feature that are in a liability position on September 29, 2023 is $2.6 million. As of September 29, 2023, no triggering event has occurred and thus we are not required to post collateral.

Derivative instruments are disclosed on a gross basis. There are various rights of setoff associated with our derivative instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreements. Although various rights of setoff and master netting arrangements or similar agreements may exist with the individual counterparties, individually, these financial rights are not material.

13.  Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)

Cash flows from derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the underlying hedged items. In the event that hedge accounting is discontinued, cash flows related to changes in fair value subsequent to the date of discontinuance are classified within investing activities.
 
Foreign Currency Hedges
 
Our results of operations and financial condition are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, and we mitigate that exposure by entering into foreign currency forward contracts. Certain of our subsidiaries periodically enter into foreign currency forward contracts in order to hedge portions of forecasted sales or cost of sales denominated in foreign currencies, which generally mature within one year. At September 29, 2023, our foreign currency forward contracts hedge a portion of our 2023 foreign currency exposure.
 
The foreign currency forward contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges were designated as single-purpose cash flow hedges of forecasted cash flows. 
 
We had the following outstanding foreign currency forward contracts as of September 29, 2023 (in millions):

Foreign currency contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges:Notional amount
EuroEUR73.4 
British poundGBP9.1 
Japanese yenJPY297.8 
Chilean pesoCLP6,876.0 
Kenyan shillingKES982.4 
Korean wonKRW4,100.0 

Interest Rate Contracts
 
Our results of operations and financial condition are exposed to fluctuations in variable interest rates, and we mitigate that exposure by entering into interest rate swaps. During 2018, we entered into interest rate swaps in order to hedge the risk of the fluctuation on future interest payments related to our variable rate LIBOR-based borrowings through 2028. We amended our Second A&R Credit Agreement and our interest rate swaps to transition from LIBOR to SOFR as a reference rate effective January 3, 2023. Refer to our discussion of New Accounting Pronouncements in Note 2, “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” for further information.

Gains or losses on interest rate swaps are recorded in other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings as the interest expense on debt is recognized in earnings. At September 29, 2023, the notional value of interest rate contracts outstanding was $400.0 million, with $200.0 million maturing in June 2024 and the remaining $200.0 million maturing in 2028. Refer to Note 8, “Debt and Finance Lease Obligations.

14.  Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
 
Our derivative assets or liabilities include foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, and our own credit risk as well as an evaluation of our counterparties' credit risks. We use an income approach to value our outstanding foreign currency and interest rate hedges, which consists of a discounted cash flow model that takes into account the present value of future cash flows under the terms of the contract using current market information as of the measurement date such as foreign currency spot rates, forward rates and interest rates. Additionally, we include an element of default risk based on observable inputs into the fair value calculation. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets or liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

In estimating our fair value disclosures for financial instruments, we use the following methods and assumptions:
 
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these items approximates fair value due to their liquid nature and are classified as Level 1.
 
Trade accounts receivable and other accounts receivable, net: The carrying value reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these items is net of allowances, which includes a degree of counterparty non-performance risk and are classified as Level 2.
 
Accounts payable and other current liabilities: The carrying value reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these items approximates their fair value, which is the likely amount for which the liability with short settlement periods would be transferred to a market participant with a similar credit standing as ours and are classified as Level 2.
 
Long-term debt: The carrying value of our long-term debt reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates their fair value since they bear interest at variable rates which contain an element of default risk. The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on quoted prices for those or similar instruments. Refer to Note 8, “Debt and Finance Lease Obligations.

Fair Value of Non-Financial Assets

The fair value of the banana reporting unit's goodwill and the prepared food reporting unit's goodwill and remaining trade names and trademarks are highly sensitive to differences between estimated and actual cash flows and changes in the related discount rate used to evaluate the fair value of these assets. We disclosed the sensitivity related to the banana reporting unit's goodwill and the prepared food reporting unit's goodwill and remaining trade names and trademarks in our notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2022.

In addition, we currently have certain definite-lived intangible assets related to our fresh and value-added products segment which arose from an acquisition and had an aggregate carrying value of $96.9 million as of the quarter ended September 29, 2023. The carrying values of these definite-lived intangible assets are sensitive to changes in estimated cash flows. Our current estimates of future cash flows depend on our ability to demonstrate successful implementation of our strategies to improve sales and profitability from these activities over the upcoming quarters. If we are unable to demonstrate successful implementation of these strategies, it could lead to impairment of some or all of these assets.

Assets held for sale, which had a carrying amount of $1.9 million as of September 29, 2023, primarily consists of $1.0 million related to a facility and farm land in Central America and $0.8 million related to an ocean-going vessel. Assets held for sale are recognized at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. The fair value measurements for our held for sale assets are generally based on Level 3 inputs, which include information obtained from third-party appraisals.

During the nine months ended September 29, 2023, our 60% owned joint venture in Saudi Arabia completed the sale of two distribution centers and related assets which were previously held for sale. We received net proceeds of $66.1 million from the sale of these assets and recorded a gain of $20.5 million which is reflected in gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and subsidiary on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Contemporaneously with the execution of the sale and purchase agreement, we entered into an operating lease agreement in which we leased back approximately 31% of the facilities for a term of five years. The lease agreement allows for an option to renew for additional terms, subject to the written agreement of both parties.

During the nine months ended September 29, 2023, we completed the sale of an idle production facility in North America, which was previously held for sale. We received net proceeds of $23.0 million from the sale of this asset and recorded a gain of $7.0 million which is reflected in gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and subsidiary on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Contemporaneously with the execution of the sale and purchase agreement, we entered into an operating lease agreement in which we leased back a portion of the facility for a term of 21 months.

During the nine months ended September 29, 2023, we completed the sale of our plastics business subsidiary in South America for total cash consideration of $17.0 million, and recorded a gain on sale of $3.8 million which is reflected in gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and subsidiary on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. We received $14.0 million of the proceeds in July 2023 and the remaining $3.0 million will be received in three equal and successive semi-annual installments. At September 29, 2023, $2.0 million of the consideration is reflected in other accounts receivable on our Consolidated Balance Sheet while the remaining $1.0 million is reflected in other noncurrent assets. The total consideration associated with the sale is subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The assets and liabilities associated with this business were previously classified as held for sale as of the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and had a net carrying amount of $13.0 million at the time of closing.

In addition to the above asset sales, during the nine months ended September 29, 2023 we received proceeds of $12.2 million from the sale of other assets previously held for sale and recorded an additional gain of $7.1 million which is reflected in gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and subsidiary on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

17. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest Acquisition

As part of the Mann Packing acquisition in 2018, we acquired a put option exercisable by the 25% shareholder of one of the acquired subsidiaries. The put option allowed the noncontrolling shareholder to sell its 25% noncontrolling interest to us for a multiple of the subsidiary's adjusted earnings. As the put option was outside of our control, the carrying value of the 25% noncontrolling interest was presented as a redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of permanent equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. At each reporting period, the redeemable noncontrolling interest was recognized at the higher of (1) the initial carrying amount adjusted for accumulated earnings and distributions or (2) the contractually-defined redemption value as of the balance sheet date.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the noncontrolling shareholder exercised its put option right and accordingly, the Company closed the purchase of the remaining 25% of this subsidiary for $5.2 million in cash consideration. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction, with the differential between the redeemable noncontrolling interest carrying amount at the time of closing and the cash purchase price being recognized as a $42.7 million increase in paid-in capital within shareholders' equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Item 2.        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Overview
 
We are one of the world’s leading vertically integrated producers, marketers and distributors of high-quality fresh and fresh-cut fruit and vegetables, as well as a leading producer and marketer of prepared fruit and vegetables, juices, beverages and snacks in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. We market our products worldwide under the Del Monte® brand, a symbol of product innovation, quality, freshness and reliability since 1892. Our major sales markets are organized as follows: North America, Europe, the Middle East (which includes North Africa) and Asia. Our global sourcing and logistics system allows us to provide regular delivery of consistently high-quality produce and value-added services to our customers. Our major production operations are located in North, Central and South America, Asia and Africa.

Our business is comprised of three reportable segments, two of which represent our primary businesses of fresh and value-added products and banana, and one that represents our other ancillary businesses.

Fresh and value-added products - includes pineapples, fresh-cut fruit, fresh-cut vegetables (which includes fresh-cut salads), melons, vegetables, non-tropical fruit (including grapes, apples, citrus, blueberries, strawberries, pears, peaches, plums, nectarines, cherries, and kiwis), other fruit and vegetables, avocados, and prepared foods (including prepared fruit and vegetables, juices, other beverages, and meals and snacks).

Banana

Other products and services - includes our third-party freight and logistic services business and our Jordanian poultry and meats business.

Our vision is to inspire healthy lifestyles through wholesome and convenient products. Our strategy is founded on six goals:

strategy.jpg

Current Macroeconomic Environment and Inflation Impact

Since fiscal year 2021, we have been experiencing inflationary and cost pressures due to volatility and disruption in the global economy which have increased our production and distribution costs due to a multitude of external factors. Specifically, costs of packaging materials, fertilizers, labor, fuel, and ocean and inland freight have significantly increased, and continue to adversely affect our profitability and operating cash flows during the current fiscal year. We expect inflationary pressures to persist throughout 2023, although at lower levels than experienced in 2022.

In response to these persisting inflationary and cost pressures, we instituted price increases on the majority of our products. Additionally, certain of our contracts for key products include contractually indexed fuel and freight surcharges that vary depending on commodity pricing. We expect that these inflation-justified price increases and surcharges will continue to help mitigate our increased costs.

27

Greece Flooding

We incurred costs related to severe floods caused by heavy rainstorms in Greece during the third quarter of 2023, which impacted our seasonal production facility. As a result, we recorded inventory write-off and clean-up costs of $8.4 million, (net of $3.0 million insurance reimbursement receivable) in cost of products sold and also recorded impairment and write-off of property and equipment damage of $0.9 million in asset impairment and other charges (credits), net, during both the third quarter of 2023 and the first nine months of 2023. The Company has flood insurance for the seasonal production facility and is in the process of submitting claims to its insurer for reimbursement. The Company is also seeking government assistance for emergency disaster relief.

Optimization Program

During fiscal 2020, we began a comprehensive review of our asset portfolio, which we continuously update, aimed at identifying non-strategic and underutilized assets to dispose of while reducing costs and driving further efficiencies in our operations. As a result of the review, we identified assets across all of our regions, primarily consisting of underutilized facilities and land, which we made a strategic decision to sell. During the first nine months of 2023, we completed the sales of various assets including two distribution centers and related assets in Saudi Arabia, an idle production facility in North America, our plastics business subsidiary, and land assets in South and Central America.

Income Taxes

In connection with the examination of the tax returns in two foreign jurisdictions, the taxing authorities have issued income tax deficiencies related to transfer pricing aggregating approximately $160.3 million (including interest and penalties) for tax years 2012 through 2016. We strongly disagree with the proposed adjustments and have filed a protest with each of the taxing authorities.

In one of the foreign jurisdictions, we are currently contesting tax assessments related to the 2012-2015 audit years and the 2016 audit year in both the administrative court and the judicial court. During 2019 and 2020, we filed actions contesting the tax assessment in the administrative office. Our initial challenge to each of these tax assessments was rejected, and we subsequently lost our appeals at the administrative court. We have subsequently filed actions to contest each of these tax assessments in the country’s judicial courts. In addition, we have filed a request for injunction to the judicial court to stay the tax authorities' collection efforts for these two tax assessments, pending final judicial decisions. The court granted our injunction with respect to the 2016 audit year, however denied our injunction with respect to the 2012-2015 audit years. We timely appealed the denial of the injunction, and on August 10, 2022 the appellate court overturned the denial and granted our injunction for the 2012-2015 audit years. Pursuant to local law, we registered real estate collateral with an approximate fair market value of $7.0 million in connection with the grant of the 2016 audit year injunction. This real estate collateral has a net book value of $3.8 million as of the quarter ended September 29, 2023. In addition, in connection with the grant of the 2012-2015 audit year injunction, we registered real estate collateral with an approximate fair market value of $28.5 million, and a net book value of $4.6 million as of the quarter ended September 29, 2023. The registration of this real estate collateral does not affect our operations in the country.

In the other foreign jurisdiction, the administrative court denied our appeal, and on March 4, 2020 we filed an action in the judicial court to contest the administrative court's decision. The case is still pending.

We will continue to vigorously contest the adjustments and intend to exhaust all administrative and judicial remedies necessary in both jurisdictions to resolve the matters, which could be a lengthy process.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated Financial Results

The following summarizes the more significant factors impacting our operating results for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 29, 2023 (also referred to as the “third quarter of 2023” and “first nine months of 2023,” respectively) and September 30, 2022 (also referred to as the “third quarter of 2022” and “first nine months of 2022,” respectively).

Selling, general and administrative expenses48.1 46.8 142.6 139.3 
Operating income25.4 51.0 171.9 125.1 

Net sales - Net sales for the third quarter of 2023 were $1,003.1 million, compared with $1,053.5 million in the third quarter of 2022. Net sales for the first nine months of 2023 were $3,312.1 million, compared with $3,402.4 million in the first nine months of 2022. In both periods, the impact to net sales was primarily driven by lower sales volume in the fresh and value-added products segment and a decrease in sales in the other products and services segment due to softened global demand in our third-party ocean freight business, coupled with a weaker Japanese yen. Partially offsetting the net sales variance for the third quarter of 2023 were higher selling prices of non-tropical fruit and fresh-cut fruit and higher volumes and higher per unit selling prices of avocados. Partially offsetting the net sales variance for the first nine months of 2023 were higher sales volume of bananas and higher selling prices of bananas, pineapples, and fresh-cut fruit.

Gross profit - Gross profit for the third quarter of 2023 was $74.4 million, compared with $88.0 million in the third quarter of 2022. Gross profit was impacted by lower sales volume across most products, a stronger Costa Rican colon and Mexican peso, and the inventory write-off and clean-up costs related to the flooding of a seasonal production facility in Greece due to heavy rainstorms, partially offset by lower distribution and ocean freight costs. Gross profit for the first nine months of 2023 increased by 11% to $288.2 million, compared with $258.5 million in the first nine months of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales volume and selling price of bananas, partially offset by lower sales volume in the fresh and value-added products segment and our third-party ocean freight business due to softened market demand.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2023 included $8.4 million of other product-related charges comprised primarily of an inventory write-off and clean-up costs related to the flooding of a seasonal production facility in Greece due to heavy rainstorms. For the first nine months of 2023, other product-related charges also included inventory write-offs of $1.8 million, primarily related to the sale of two distribution centers in Saudi Arabia in the first quarter of 2023. There were no other product-related charges in the third quarter of 2022 or the first nine months of 2022.

Selling, general and administrative expenses - Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2023 increased by $1.3 million, or 3%, when compared with the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher employee compensation. For the first nine months of 2023, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $3.3 million, or 2%, when compared with the first nine months of 2022 primarily driven by higher advertising and promotional expenses, professional services costs, and employee compensation.

Gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and subsidiary - The gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and subsidiary for the third quarter of 2023 of $1.6 million primarily included a gain of $2.4 million related to the sale of a carrier vessel, partially offset by the loss related to the disposals of a farm in the Philippines and a plantation in Costa Rica. For the first nine months of 2023, gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and subsidiary was $35.8 million and also included a $20.5 million gain on the sale of two distribution centers and related assets in Saudi Arabia, a $7.0 million gain on the sale of an idle production facility in North America, and a $3.8 million gain on the sale of our plastics business subsidiary in South America and gains on the sales of land assets in South and Central America. Partially offsetting the net gain was a loss on the disposal of low-yielding banana crops in Central America.

29

For the first nine months of 2022, gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and subsidiary of $(2.2) million primarily related to a loss on the disposal of low-yielding banana plants in Central America, partially offset by a $1.4 million gain on the sale of vacant land in Mexico.

Asset impairment and other charges, net - Asset impairment and other charges, net of $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2023 primarily consisted of impairment charges due to low-yielding banana farms in the Philippines of $3.7 million, property, plant and equipment damage of $0.9 million due to severe flooding caused by heavy rainstorms in Greece, and impairment of right-of-use asset in South America of $0.7 million, partially offset by insurance reimbursement and other credits of $2.8 million in connection with a cybersecurity incident which occurred during early 2023. In addition, the first nine months of 2023 also included impairment charges due to low productivity grape vines in South America, idle land in Central America, and expenses incurred in connection with a cybersecurity incident which occurred during early 2023. The incident temporarily impacted certain of our operational and information technology systems. We were able to promptly recover our critical operational data and business systems and accordingly, the incident did not have a material impact on our financial results for the first nine months of 2023 and is not expected to have a material impact on future quarters. However, we did incur incremental costs primarily related to the engagement of specialized legal counsel and other incident response advisors.

Asset impairment and other charges, net of $(9.8) million during the third quarter of 2022 primarily consisted of a $(9.9) million reduction to our environmental liability for the Kunia Well Site clean-up in Hawaii. For the first nine months of 2022, asset impairment and other charges, net of $(8.1) million also included severance expense in connection with (i) the departure of our former President and Chief Operating Officer and (ii) the exit from a European facility.

Operating income - Operating income decreased by $25.6 million in the third quarter of 2023 when compared with third quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower gross profit, damage related to the floods in Greece, and impairment charges due to certain low-yielding banana farms in the Philippines. Operating income for the first nine months of 2023 increased by $46.8 million when compared with the first nine months of 2022, primarily driven by higher gross profit combined with the favorable impact of the net gain on disposal of property, plant, and equipment and the plastics business subsidiary, partially offset by higher asset impairment and other charges, net.

Interest expense - Interest expense was $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared with $6.2 million for the third quarter of 2022. Interest expense for the first nine months of 2023 increased by $3.2 million to $20.5 million, compared to $17.3 million for the first nine months of 2022, due to higher interest rates, partially offset by lower average debt balances.

Other expense, net - Other expense, net decreased by $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2023, when compared with the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower foreign currency-related losses. For the first nine months of 2023, other expense, net increased by $7.0 million when compared with the first nine months of 2022, mainly due to higher foreign currency related losses which were primarily driven by unrealized losses on balance sheet remeasurement.

Income tax provision - Income tax provision was $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared with $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2022, and was $24.9 million for the first nine months of 2023 compared with $13.9 million for the first nine months of 2022. The increase in the income tax provision in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 was primarily due to increased earnings in certain higher tax jurisdictions combined with the tax effect related to the sale of our plastics business subsidiary in South America during the second quarter of 2023. Additionally, the increase in the income tax provision for the nine months ended September 29, 2023 also reflects the tax effects of our asset sales in Saudi Arabia and North America during the first quarter of the year. The income tax provision for both the third quarter of 2022 and the first nine months of 2022, included the impact of a $1.5 million provision recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 2022 relating to a change in our assertion that certain foreign earnings are no longer deemed permanently reinvested.

Third Quarter of 2023 Compared with Third Quarter of 2022

Fresh and value-added products

Net sales for the third quarter of 2023 were $574.0 million, compared with $599.8 million in the prior-year period, primarily as a result of lower sales volumes of non-tropical fruit, pineapple, fresh-cut fruit, and fresh-cut vegetables as well as prepared foods, partially offset by higher per unit selling prices of non-tropical fruit, fresh-cut fruit, and pineapple product categories combined with higher sales volume and higher per unit selling price of avocados.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2023 was $36.2 million, compared with $55.1 million in the prior-year period. Gross profit variance was primarily due to higher production and procurement costs of most products, partially due to a stronger Costa Rican colon and Mexican peso along with, lower net sales volume, partially offset by higher selling prices and lower ocean freight costs.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2023 included $8.4 million of other product-related charges comprised primarily of inventory write-off and clean-up costs tied to the flooding of a seasonal production facility in Greece due to heavy rainstorms. There were no other product-related charges in the third quarter of 2022. Gross margin was 6.3%, compared with 9.2% in the prior-year period.

Banana

Net sales for the third quarter of 2023 were $384.7 million, compared with $388.4 million in the prior-year period, primarily as a result of lower selling prices and sales volume in North America, mostly offset by higher sales volume and per unit selling prices in Europe.

31

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2023 was $31.9 million, compared with $22.6 million in the prior-year period. The increase in gross profit was impacted by lower distribution, ocean freight, and product costs, partially offset by a stronger Costa Rican colon. Gross margin increased to 8.3%, compared with 5.8% in the prior-year period.

Other products and services

Net sales for the third quarter of 2023 were $44.4 million, compared with $65.3 million in the prior-year period, mainly due to lower net sales of third-party ocean freight services due to softened global demand.

Gross profit was $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared with $10.3 million in the prior-year period, primarily as a result of lower third-party ocean freight services net sales. Gross margin decreased to 14.2% from 15.7% in the prior-year period.

Fresh and value-added products

Net sales for the first nine months of 2023 were $1,895.0 million, compared with $2,004.9 million in the prior-year period. The impact to net sales was primarily driven by lower sales volume of most products and lower per unit selling prices of avocados, partially offset by higher per unit selling prices across most products.

Gross profit for the first nine months of 2023 was $145.3 million, compared with $148.9 million in the prior-year period. The impact to gross profit compared with the prior-year period was primarily driven by lower net sales, inventory write-off in prepared foods due to the flooding in Greece, and a stronger Costa Rican colon and Mexican peso, partially offset by lower ocean freight and distribution costs. Gross margin increased to 7.7%, compared with 7.4% in the prior-year period.

Gross profit for the first nine months of 2023 included $10.1 million of other product-related charges comprised of $8.4 million of inventory write-off and clean-up costs tied to the flooding of a seasonal production facility in Greece due to heavy rainstorms and $1.8 million inventory write-off due to the sale of two distribution centers in Saudi Arabia. There were no other product-related charges in the first nine months of 2022.

Banana

Net sales for the first nine months of 2023 were $1,258.6 million, compared with $1,216.1 million in the prior-year period. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by higher per unit selling prices and sales volume in Europe.

Gross profit for the first nine months of 2023 was $125.7 million, compared with $82.6 million in the prior-year period. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by higher per unit selling prices and sales volume and lower per unit distribution and ocean freight costs. Gross profit was partially offset by higher per unit production and procurement costs due to continued inflationary input costs through the first half of the year combined with a stronger Costa Rican colon. Gross margin increased to 10.0%, compared with 6.8% in the prior-year period.

Other products and services

Net sales for the first nine months of 2023 were $158.5 million, compared with $181.4 in the prior-year period mainly due to lower net sales of third-party ocean freight due to softened global demand.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. is a holding company whose only significant asset is the outstanding capital stock of our subsidiaries that directly or indirectly own all of our assets. We conduct all of our business operations through our subsidiaries. Accordingly, our only source of cash to pay our obligations, other than financings, depends primarily on the net earnings and cash flow generated by these subsidiaries.

Our primary sources of cash flow are net cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our credit facility. Our
32

primary uses of net cash flow are capital expenditures to increase our productivity and expand our product offerings and geographic reach, dividends, and servicing outstanding indebtedness. We may also, from time to time, prepay outstanding indebtedness on our credit facility, acquire assets or businesses, or make investments in businesses that we believe are complementary to our operations and long-term strategy.

A summary of our cash flows is as follows (U.S. dollars in millions):

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $180.1 million for the first nine months of 2023 compared with $105.7 million for the first nine months of 2022, an increase of $74.4 million. The increase was primarily attributable to working capital fluctuations, mainly driven by (i) lower levels of raw materials and packaging supplies inventory in the current year period due to a strategic increase in levels in the prior year to secure costs and availability and (ii) higher net income. Partially offsetting the increase were lower levels of accounts payable and accrued expenses, primarily due to the timing of period end payments to suppliers.

At September 29, 2023, we had working capital of $587.7 million, compared with $634.4 million at December 30, 2022, a decrease of $46.7 million. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to lower levels of (i) raw materials and packaging supplies inventory, (ii) growing crop inventory, primarily due to seasonal variations, and (iii) assets held for sale. Partially offsetting the decrease in working capital was (a) lower levels of accounts payable and accrued expenses, mainly driven by the timing of period end payments to suppliers and (b) a higher balance of cash on hand.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for the first nine months of 2023 was $69.9 million, compared with net cash used in investing activities of $37.6 million for the first nine months of 2022. Net cash provided by investing activities for the first nine months of 2023 primarily consisted of proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and subsidiary of $115.5 million which mainly related to the sales of two distribution centers in Saudi Arabia, an idle production facility in North America, and land assets in South and Central America and proceeds from the sale of our plastics business subsidiary in South America for total purchase consideration of $17.0 million, of which we received $14.0 million. The remaining $3.0 million will be received in three equal and successive semi-annual installments, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

Partially offsetting the net cash provided by investing activities for the first nine months of 2023 were capital expenditures of $40.7 million which mainly included expenditures related to (i) improvements to our pineapple operations in Central America and Kenya, (ii) investments in our operations and production facilities in North America benefiting both our fresh and value-added products and banana segments, including expenditures related to automation and technology initiatives, (iii) investments in our production facilities in the Middle East benefiting our poultry and meats business, and (iv) improvements to our value-added production facilities in Europe and the Middle East. Net cash provided by investing activities for the first nine months of 2023 also reflects $4.4 million in investments in unconsolidated companies in the food and nutrition sector that align with our long-term strategy and vision.

Net cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2022 primarily consisted of capital expenditures of $35.8 million, which mainly included expenditures related to (i) improvements to our banana operations in Central America, (ii) improvements to our operations and production facilities primarily benefiting our fresh and value-added products segment, and
33

(iii) improvements to our pineapple operations in Central America and Kenya. Net cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2022 also reflects $9.3 million in investments in unconsolidated companies. Partially offsetting the net cash used in investing activities were proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $7.6 million, primarily relating to the sale of vacant land in Mexico.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the first nine months of 2023 was $191.2 million, compared with $57.0 million for the first nine months of 2022. Net cash used in financing activities for the first nine months of 2023 primarily consisted of (i) net repayments on debt of $138.8 million, (ii) dividends paid of $26.4 million, (iii) distributions to noncontrolling interests of $17.9 million, including a distribution to our minority partner in Saudi Arabia in connection with the sale of the two distribution centers completed in the first quarter of 2023, and (iv) a $5.2 million payment to acquire the remaining 25% interest in one of our Mann Packing subsidiaries, as the noncontrolling shareholder exercised its put option during the second quarter of 2023. The transaction was treated as an equity transaction, with the differential between the redeemable noncontrolling interest carrying amount on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and the cash purchase price being recognized as an increase in shareholders' equity.

Net cash used in financing activities for the first nine months of 2022 primarily consisted of net repayments on debt of $33.0 million and dividends paid of $21.5 million.

Debt Instruments and Debt Service Requirements

On October 1, 2019, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second A&R Credit Agreement”) with the financial institutions and other lenders named therein, including Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and BofA Securities, Inc. as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner. The Second A&R Credit Agreement provides for a five-year, $0.9 billion syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) maturing on October 1, 2024. Certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations under the Second A&R Credit Agreement. We intend to use funds borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility from time to time for general corporate purposes, working capital, capital expenditures and other permitted investment opportunities.

On December 30, 2022, we and certain of our subsidiaries executed Amendment No. 1 to the Second A&R Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with the financial institutions and other lenders named therein, including Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and BofA Securities, Inc. as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner. Pursuant to the Amendment, the reference interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to replace the Eurocurrency Rate with the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) effective January 3, 2023. As amended, Term Loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility can be Base Rate Loans, Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans. All other material terms of the Second A&R Credit Agreement, as amended, remain unchanged.
Effective January 3, 2023, amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest, at our election, at either (i) the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement) plus a margin that ranges from 1.0% to 1.5% or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement) plus a margin that ranges from 0% to 0.5%, in each case based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement). The Second A&R Credit Agreement interest rate grid provides for five pricing levels for interest rate margins. At September 29, 2023, we had borrowings of $401.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bearing interest at a per annum rate of 6.55%. In addition, we pay an unused commitment fee.
The Second A&R Credit Agreement provides for an accordion feature that permits us, without the consent of the other lenders, to request that one or more lenders provide us with increases in revolving credit facility or term loans up to an aggregate of $300 million (“Incremental Increases”). The aggregate amount of Incremental Increases can be further increased to the extent that after giving effect to the proposed increase in revolving credit facility commitments or term loans, our Consolidated Leverage Ratio, on a pro forma basis, would not exceed 2.50 to 1.00. Our ability to request such increases in the Revolving Credit Facility or term loans is subject to its compliance with customary conditions set forth in the Second A&R Credit Agreement including compliance, on a pro forma basis, with the financial covenants and ratios set forth therein. Upon our request, each lender may decide, in its sole discretion, whether to increase all or a portion of its revolving credit facility commitment or provide term loans.

The Second A&R Credit Agreement requires us to comply with certain financial and other covenants. Specifically, it requires us to maintain a 1) Consolidated Leverage Ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1.00 at any time during any period of four consecutive
34

fiscal quarters, subject to certain exceptions and 2) minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 2.25 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. Additionally, it requires us to comply with certain other covenants, including limitations on capital expenditures, stock repurchases, the amount of dividends that can be paid in the future, the amount and types of liens and indebtedness, material asset sales, and mergers. Under the Second A&R Credit Agreement, we are permitted to declare or pay cash dividends in any fiscal year up to an amount that does not exceed the greater of (i) an amount equal to the greater of (A) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement) for the immediately preceding fiscal year or (B) $25 million or (ii) the greatest amount which would not cause the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (determined on a pro forma basis) to exceed 3.25 to 1.00. It also provides an allowance for stock repurchases to be an amount not exceeding the greater of (i) $150 million in the aggregate or (ii) the amount that, after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related borrowings, will not cause the Consolidated Leverage Ratio to exceed 3.25 to 1.00. As of September 29, 2023, we were in compliance with all of the financial and other covenants contained in the Second A&R Credit Agreement.

In addition to the indebtedness under our Second A&R Credit Agreement, our material cash requirements include contractual obligations from other working capital facilities and lease obligations. Refer to Note 8. "Debt and Finance Lease Obligations" of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information regarding these material cash requirements.

As of September 29, 2023, we had $525.5 million unused borrowing capacity, net of letters of credit and guarantees, primarily under the Revolving Credit Facility.

We believe that our cash on hand, borrowing capacity available under our Revolving Credit Facility, and cash flows from operations for the next twelve months will be sufficient to service our outstanding debt during the next twelve months. However, we cannot predict whether future developments associated with the current economic environment will materially adversely affect our long-term liquidity position. Our liquidity assumptions, the adequacy of our available funding sources, and our ability to meet our Revolving Credit Facility covenants are dependent on many additional factors, including those set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2022.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 29, 2023, there were no material changes in our commitments or contractual obligations as compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates can be found in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2022. There were no material changes to these critical accounting policies or estimates during the third quarter of 2023.

Fair Value Measurements

Our results of operations and financial condition are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, and we mitigate that exposure by entering into foreign currency forward contracts. Certain of our subsidiaries periodically enter into foreign currency forward contracts in order to hedge portions of forecasted sales or cost of sales denominated in foreign currencies which generally expire within one year. The fair value of our foreign currency cash flow hedges was a net asset position of $1.1 million as of September 29, 2023 compared to a liability position of $6.7 million as of December 30, 2022 due to the relative strengthening or weakening of exchange rates when compared to contracted rates.

Our results of operations and financial condition are exposed to fluctuations in variable interest rates, and we mitigate that exposure by entering into interest rate swaps from time to time. During 2018, we entered into interest rate swaps in order to hedge the risk of the fluctuation on future interest payments related to a portion of our variable rate borrowings through 2028. The fair value of our interest rate swap cash flow hedges was an asset position of $16.4 million as of September 29, 2023 compared to an asset position of $15.8 million as of December 30, 2022. The change in value was due to the relative increase in variable interest rates when compared to the rates as of December 30, 2022. In connection with the Amendment of our Revolving Credit Facility, we amended our interest rate swaps to transition from LIBOR to Term SOFR effective January 3, 2023.

35

We enter into derivative instruments with counterparties that are highly rated and do not expect a deterioration of our counterparty’s credit ratings; however, the deterioration of our counterparty’s credit ratings would affect the Consolidated Financial Statements in the recognition of the fair value of the hedges that would be transferred to earnings as the contracts settle. We expect that $7.8 million of the net fair value of our cash flow hedges recognized as a net gain in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be transferred to earnings during the next 12 months and the remaining net gain of $7.9 million over a period of approximately 5 years, along with the earnings effect of the related forecasted transactions.

The fair value of the banana reporting unit's goodwill and the prepared food reporting unit's goodwill and remaining trade names and trademarks are highly sensitive to differences between estimated and actual cash flows and changes in the related discount rate used to evaluate the fair value of these assets. We disclosed the sensitivity related to the banana reporting unit's goodwill and the prepared food reporting unit's goodwill and trade names and trademarks in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2022. During the quarter ended September 29, 2023, we did not record impairment charges associated with these reporting units or trade names and trademarks, however we continue to monitor their performance.

Potential impairment exists if the fair value of a reporting unit to which goodwill has been allocated is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit. Future changes in the estimates used to conduct our impairment review, including our financial projections and changes in the discount rates used, could cause the analysis to indicate that our goodwill or trade names and trademarks are impaired in subsequent periods and result in a write-off of a portion or all of goodwill or trade names and trademarks.

In addition, we currently have certain definite-lived intangible assets related to our fresh and value-added products segment which arose from an acquisition and had an aggregate carrying value of $96.9 million as of the quarter ended September 29, 2023. The carrying values of these definite-lived intangible assets are sensitive to changes in estimated cash flows. Our current estimates of future cash flows depend on our ability to demonstrate successful implementation of our strategies to improve sales and profitability from these activities over the upcoming quarters. If we are unable to demonstrate successful implementation of these strategies, it could lead to impairment of some or all of these assets.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2. “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

Seasonality
 
Interim results are subject to significant variations and may not be indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for an entire fiscal year. Due to seasonal sales price fluctuations, we have historically realized a greater portion of our net sales and gross profit during the first two quarters of the year. The sales price of any fresh produce item fluctuates throughout the year due to the supply of and demand for that particular item, as well as the pricing and availability of other fresh produce items, many of which are seasonal in nature. While seasonality in 2022 was atypical due to the high inflationary environment and a lag in price increases, our results in 2023 are consistent with historical trends where we realize a greater portion of our net sales and gross profit during the first two quarters of the year.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.        Legal Proceedings

Tax related matters

In connection with the examination of the tax returns in two foreign jurisdictions, the taxing authorities have issued income tax deficiencies related to transfer pricing aggregating approximately $160.3 million (including interest and penalties) for tax years 2012 through 2016. We strongly disagree with the proposed adjustments and have filed a protest with each of the taxing authorities.

In one of the foreign jurisdictions, we are currently contesting tax assessments related to the 2012-2015 audit years and the 2016 audit year in both the administrative court and the judicial court. During 2019 and 2020, we filed actions contesting the tax assessment in the administrative office. Our initial challenge to each of these tax assessments was rejected, and we subsequently lost our appeals at the administrative court. We have subsequently filed actions to contest each of these tax assessments in the country’s judicial courts. In addition, we have filed a request for injunction to the judicial court to stay the tax authorities' collection efforts for these two tax assessments, pending final judicial decisions. The court granted our injunction with respect to the 2016 audit year, however denied our injunction with respect to the 2012-2015 audit years. We timely appealed the denial of the injunction, and on August 10, 2022 the appellate court overturned the denial and granted our injunction for the 2012-2015 audit years. Pursuant to local law, we registered real estate collateral with an approximate fair market value of $7.0 million in connection with the grant of the 2016 audit year injunction. This real estate collateral has a net book value of $3.8 million as of the quarter ended September 29, 2023. In addition, in connection with the grant of the 2012-2015 audit year injunction, we registered real estate collateral with an approximate fair market value of $28.5 million, and a net book value of $4.6 million as of the quarter ended September 29, 2023. The registration of this real estate collateral does not affect our operations in the country.

In the other foreign jurisdiction, the administrative court denied our appeal, and on March 4, 2020 we filed an action in the judicial court to contest the administrative court's decision. The case is still pending.

We will continue to vigorously contest the adjustments and intend to exhaust all administrative and judicial remedies necessary in both jurisdictions to resolve the matters, which could be a lengthy process.

Item 5.        Other Information

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and subsequent amendments to the guidance, ASU 2021-01 in January 2021 and ASU 2022-06 in December 2022. The amendments in these updates provide optional guidance to companies to ease the potential burden associated with reference rate reform. Specifically, the guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions to apply generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. As of December 30, 2022, we had LIBOR-based borrowings and interest rate swaps that referenced LIBOR. Effective January 3, 2023, we amended our agreements and transitioned to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Term SOFR) for these instruments. We adopted the optional guidance in Topic 848 in conjunction with our contract amendments which allowed us to (i) account for the modification to our debt agreement as a continuation of the existing contract and (ii) continue applying hedge accounting for our interest rate swaps. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
In connection with the examination of the tax returns in two foreign jurisdictions, the taxing authorities have issued income tax deficiencies related to transfer pricing aggregating approximately $160.3 million (including interest and penalties) for tax years 2012 through 2016. We strongly disagree with the proposed adjustments and have filed a protest with each of the taxing authorities.

In one of the foreign jurisdictions, we are currently contesting tax assessments related to the 2012-2015 audit years and the 2016 audit year in both the administrative court and the judicial court. During 2019 and 2020, we filed actions contesting the tax assessment in the administrative office. Our initial challenge to each of these tax assessments was rejected, and we subsequently lost our appeals at the administrative court. We have subsequently filed actions to contest each of these tax assessments in the country’s judicial courts. In addition, we have filed a request for injunction to the judicial court to stay the tax authorities' collection efforts for these two tax assessments, pending final judicial decisions. The court granted our injunction with respect to the 2016 audit year, however denied our injunction with respect to the 2012-2015 audit years. We timely appealed the denial of the injunction, and on August 10, 2022 the appellate court overturned the denial and granted our injunction for the 2012-2015 audit years. Pursuant to local law, we registered real estate collateral with an approximate fair market value of $7.0 million in connection with the grant of the 2016 audit year injunction. This real estate collateral has a net book value of $3.8 million as of the quarter ended September 29, 2023. In addition, in connection with the grant of the 2012-2015 audit year injunction, we registered real estate collateral with an approximate fair market value of $28.5 million, and a net book value of $4.6 million as of the quarter ended September 29, 2023. The registration of this real estate collateral does not affect our operations in the country.

In the other foreign jurisdiction, the administrative court denied our appeal, and on March 4, 2020 we filed an action in the judicial court to contest the administrative court's decision. The case is still pending.

We will continue to vigorously contest the adjustments and intend to exhaust all administrative and judicial remedies necessary in both jurisdictions to resolve the matters, which could be a lengthy process.
Income tax provision was $4.1 million for the quarter ended September 29, 2023 compared with $3.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and was $24.9 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2023 compared with $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Receivables [Abstract]  
Allowance for Credit Losses Allowance for Credit Losses
 
We estimate expected credit losses on our trade receivables and financing receivables in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables as of September 29, 2023 were $372.2 million, net of an allowance of $21.5 million. Our allowance for trade receivables consists of two components: a $7.6 million allowance for credit losses and a $13.9 million allowance for customer claims accounted for under the scope of ASC 606 - Revenue Recognition.

As a result of our robust credit monitoring practices, the industry in which we operate, and the nature of our customer base, the credit losses associated with our trade receivables have historically been insignificant in comparison to our annual net sales. We measure the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. We generally pool our trade receivables based on the geographic region or country to which the receivables relate. Receivables that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated for collectability on an individual basis.

Our historical credit loss experience provides the basis for our estimation of expected credit losses. We generally use a three-year average annual loss rate as a starting point for our estimation, and make adjustments to the historical loss rate to account for differences in current conditions impacting the collectability of our receivable pools. We generally monitor macroeconomic indicators to assess whether adjustments are necessary to reflect current conditions.

The table below presents a rollforward of our trade receivable allowance for credit losses for the nine months ended September 29, 2023 and September 30, 2022 (U.S. dollars in millions):

(1) Reclassification of $0.3 million to the long-term allowance for credit losses, presented in other noncurrent assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, from short-term during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The amount in the long-term allowance related to trade receivables as of September 29, 2023 is not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financing Receivables

Financing receivables are included in other accounts receivable, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and are recognized at amortized cost less an allowance for estimated credit losses. Financing receivables include seasonal advances to growers and suppliers, which are usually short-term in nature, and other financing receivables.
5.  Allowance for Credit Losses (continued)

A significant portion of the fresh produce we sell is acquired through supply contracts with independent growers. In order to ensure the consistent high quality of our products and packaging, we make advances to independent growers and suppliers. These growers and suppliers typically sell all of their production to us and make payments on their advances as a deduction to the agreed upon selling price of the fruit or packaging material. The majority of the advances to growers and suppliers are for terms less than one year and typically span a growing season. In certain cases, there may be longer term advances with terms of up to five years.

We measure the allowance for credit losses on advances to suppliers and growers on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. We generally pool our advances based on the country to which they relate, and further disaggregate them based on their current or past-due status. We generally consider an advance to a grower to be past due when the advance is not fully paid within the respective growing season. The allowance for advances to growers and suppliers that do not share similar risk characteristics are determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the expected production for the season and other contributing factors. The advances are typically collateralized by property liens and pledges of the respective season’s produce. Occasionally, we agree to a payment plan with these growers or take steps to recover the advance via established collateral. We may write-off uncollectible financing receivables after our collection efforts are exhausted.

Our historical credit loss experience provides the basis for our estimation of expected credit losses. We generally use a three-year average annual loss rate as a starting point for our estimation, and make adjustments to the historical loss rate to account for differences in current or expected future conditions. We generally monitor macroeconomic indicators as well as other factors, including unfavorable weather conditions and crop diseases, which may impact the collectability of the advances when assessing whether adjustments to the historical loss rate are necessary.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement, Noncash Expense [Abstract]  
Share-Based Compensation Share-Based CompensationWe maintain various compensation plans for officers, other employees, and non-employee members of our Board of Directors. On June 2, 2022, our shareholders approved and ratified the 2022 Omnibus Share Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”). The 2022 Plan allows us to grant equity-based compensation awards including restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”), stock options, and restricted stock awards. The 2022 Plan replaces and supersedes the 2014 Omnibus Share Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”). No awards can be granted under the Prior Plan upon adoption of the 2022 Plan. Under the 2022 Plan, the Board of Directors is authorized to award up to (i) 2,800,000 ordinary shares plus (ii) any ordinary shares remaining available for future awards under the Prior Plan at the time of adoption (of which there were approximately 241,263) plus (iii) any ordinary shares with respect to awards and Prior Plan awards that are forfeited, canceled, expire unexercised, or are settled in cash following adoption of the 2022 Plan.
6.  Share-Based Compensation (continued)

Share-based compensation expense related to RSUs and PSUs is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and is comprised as follows (U.S. dollars in millions):

June 2, 2022RSU41,30725.42 

Under the 2022 Plan and Prior Plan, each RSU/PSU represents a contingent right to receive one of our ordinary shares. The PSUs are subject to meeting minimum performance criteria set by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The actual number of shares the recipient receives is determined based on the results achieved versus performance goals. Those performance goals are based on exceeding a measure of our earnings. Depending on the results achieved, the actual number of shares that an award recipient receives at the end of the period may range from 0% to 100% of the award units granted, or as it relates to 2023 PSU awards granted to our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, 0% to 125% of the award units granted. Provided such criteria are met, the PSUs granted during 2023 and prior to 2022 vest in three equal annual installments on each of the next three anniversary dates. PSUs granted during 2022 vest in three equal installments in 1) June and July 2023, 2) March 2024, and 3) March 2025. All PSU vesting is contingent on the recipient's continued employment with us.

Expense for RSUs is recognized on a straight line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. RSUs granted in 2023 and 2021 vest annually in three equal installments over a three-year service period while RSUs granted prior to 2021 vested 20% on the grant date, with 20% vesting on each of the next four anniversaries. RSUs granted in 2022 vest in three equal installments in June 2023, March 2024 and March 2025. RSUs granted to our Board of Directors generally vest after a one-year period.

The fair market value for RSUs and PSUs is based on the closing price of our stock on the grant date. We recognize expenses related to RSUs and PSUs based on the fair market value, as determined on the grant date, ratably over the vesting period, provided the performance condition, if any, is probable. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

RSUs and PSUs do not have the voting rights of ordinary shares, and the shares underlying the RSUs and PSUs are not considered issued and outstanding. However, shares underlying RSUs/PSUs are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share to the extent the performance criteria are met, if any.
6.  Share-Based Compensation (continued)

Each of our outstanding RSUs and PSUs are eligible to earn Dividend Equivalent Units (“DEUs”) equal to the cash dividend paid to ordinary shareholders. DEUs are subject to the same performance and/or service conditions as the underlying RSUs and PSUs and are forfeitable.

Credit Facility

On October 1, 2019, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Second A&R Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and BofA Securities, Inc. as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner and certain other lenders. The Second A&R Credit Agreement provides for a five-year, $0.9 billion syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) maturing on October 1, 2024. Certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations under the Second A&R Credit Agreement. We intend to use funds borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility from time to time for general corporate purposes, working capital, capital expenditures and other permitted investment opportunities.

On December 30, 2022, we and certain of our subsidiaries executed Amendment No. 1 to the Second A&R Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with the financial institutions and other lenders named therein, including Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and BofA Securities, Inc. as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner. Pursuant to the Amendment, the reference interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to replace the Eurocurrency Rate with the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) effective January 3, 2023. As amended, Term Loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility can be Base Rate Loans, Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans. All other material terms of the Second A&R Credit Agreement, as amended, remain unchanged.

Effective January 3, 2023, amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest, at our election, at either (i) the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement) plus a margin that ranges from 1.0% to 1.5% or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement) plus a margin that ranges from 0% to 0.5%, in each case based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement). The Second A&R Credit Agreement interest rate grid provides for five pricing levels for interest rate margins.
8.  Debt and Finance Lease Obligations (continued)

The Second A&R Credit Agreement provides for an accordion feature that permits us, without the consent of the other lenders, to request that one or more lenders provide us with increases in revolving credit facility or term loans up to an aggregate of $300 million (“Incremental Increases”). The aggregate amount of Incremental Increases can be further increased to the extent that after giving effect to the proposed increase in revolving credit facility commitments or term loans our Consolidated Leverage Ratio, on a pro forma basis, would not exceed 2.50 to 1.00. Our ability to request such increases in the Revolving Credit Facility or term loans is subject to our compliance with customary conditions set forth in the Second A&R Credit Agreement including compliance, on a pro forma basis, with the financial covenants and ratios set forth therein. Upon our request, each lender may decide, in its sole discretion, whether to increase all or a portion of its revolving credit facility commitment or provide term loans.

The Second A&R Credit Agreement requires us to comply with certain financial and other covenants. Specifically, it requires us to maintain 1) a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1.00 at any time during any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, subject to certain exceptions and 2) minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 2.25 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. Additionally, it requires us to comply with certain other covenants, including limitations on capital expenditures, stock repurchases, the amount of dividends that can be paid in the future, the amount and types of liens and indebtedness, material asset sales, and mergers. Under the Second A&R Credit Agreement, we are permitted to declare or pay cash dividends in any fiscal year up to an amount that does not exceed the greater of (i) an amount equal to the greater of (A) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement) for the immediately preceding fiscal year or (B) $25 million or (ii) the greatest amount which would not cause the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (determined on a pro forma basis) to exceed 3.25 to 1.00. It also provides an allowance for stock repurchases to be an amount not exceeding the greater of (i) $150 million in the aggregate or (ii) the amount that, after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related borrowings, will not cause the Consolidated Leverage Ratio to exceed 3.25 to 1.00. As of September 29, 2023, we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the Second A&R Credit Agreement.

Debt issuance costs of $0.2 million and $0.6 million are included in other noncurrent assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022, respectively.

As of September 29, 2023, we applied $36.3 million to letters of credit and bank guarantees issued from Rabobank Nederland, Bank of America, and other banks.

During 2018, we entered into interest rate swaps in order to hedge the risk of the fluctuation on future interest payments related to our variable rate borrowings from our Revolving Credit Facility. Refer to Note 13, “Derivative Financial Instruments.

Kunia Well Site
 
In 1980, elevated levels of certain chemicals were detected in the soil and ground-water at a plantation leased by one of our U.S. subsidiaries in Honolulu, Hawaii (the “Kunia Well Site”). In 2005, our subsidiary signed a Consent Decree (“Consent Decree”) with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) for the performance of the clean-up work for the Kunia Well Site. Based on findings from remedial investigations, our subsidiary coordinated with the EPA to evaluate the clean-up work required in accordance with the Consent Decree. On July 25, 2022, an Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD) for the Kunia Well Site was filed by the EPA, which formally transitioned the remedy for the Kunia Well Site to a Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA), thereby reducing our potential liability. In connection with the above decision, we recorded a $9.9 million reduction in our liability during the year ended December 30, 2022 to reflect the decrease in estimated costs associated with the clean-up. Refer to Note 3, "Asset Impairment and Other Charges (Credits), Net" for further information.

The revised estimate associated with the clean-up costs, and on which our accrual is based, is $2.7 million. As of September 29, 2023, $2.4 million was included in other noncurrent liabilities, and $0.3 million was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the Kunia Well Site clean-up. We expect to expend approximately $0.3 million in 2023, $0.6 million in 2024, $0.5 million in 2025, $0.4 million in 2026, and $0.1 million in 2027.

Additional Information
 
In addition to the foregoing, we are involved from time to time in various claims and legal actions incident to our operations, both as plaintiff and defendant. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, none of these other claims are currently expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or our cash flows.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative Financial Instruments
Our derivative financial instruments reduce our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and variable interest rates. We designate our derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges.
 
Counterparties expose us to credit loss in the event of non-performance of hedges. We monitor our exposure to counterparty non-performance risk both at inception of the hedge and at least quarterly thereafter.

Fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments are generally offset by changes in the cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. A cash flow hedge requires that the change in the fair value of a derivative instrument be recognized in other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity, and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item.

Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require the current credit relationship between us and our counterparty to be maintained throughout the term of the derivative instruments. If that credit relationship changes, certain provisions could be triggered, and the counterparty could request immediate collateralization of derivative instruments in a net liability position above a certain threshold. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with a credit-risk-related contingent feature that are in a liability position on September 29, 2023 is $2.6 million. As of September 29, 2023, no triggering event has occurred and thus we are not required to post collateral.

Derivative instruments are disclosed on a gross basis. There are various rights of setoff associated with our derivative instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreements. Although various rights of setoff and master netting arrangements or similar agreements may exist with the individual counterparties, individually, these financial rights are not material.
13.  Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)

Cash flows from derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the underlying hedged items. In the event that hedge accounting is discontinued, cash flows related to changes in fair value subsequent to the date of discontinuance are classified within investing activities.
 
Foreign Currency Hedges
 
Our results of operations and financial condition are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, and we mitigate that exposure by entering into foreign currency forward contracts. Certain of our subsidiaries periodically enter into foreign currency forward contracts in order to hedge portions of forecasted sales or cost of sales denominated in foreign currencies, which generally mature within one year. At September 29, 2023, our foreign currency forward contracts hedge a portion of our 2023 foreign currency exposure.
 
The foreign currency forward contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges were designated as single-purpose cash flow hedges of forecasted cash flows. 
 
We had the following outstanding foreign currency forward contracts as of September 29, 2023 (in millions):

Foreign currency contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges:Notional amount
EuroEUR73.4 
British poundGBP9.1 
Japanese yenJPY297.8 
Chilean pesoCLP6,876.0 
Kenyan shillingKES982.4 
Korean wonKRW4,100.0 

Interest Rate Contracts
 
Our results of operations and financial condition are exposed to fluctuations in variable interest rates, and we mitigate that exposure by entering into interest rate swaps. During 2018, we entered into interest rate swaps in order to hedge the risk of the fluctuation on future interest payments related to our variable rate LIBOR-based borrowings through 2028. We amended our Second A&R Credit Agreement and our interest rate swaps to transition from LIBOR to SOFR as a reference rate effective January 3, 2023. Refer to our discussion of New Accounting Pronouncements in Note 2, “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” for further information.

Gains or losses on interest rate swaps are recorded in other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings as the interest expense on debt is recognized in earnings. At September 29, 2023, the notional value of interest rate contracts outstanding was $400.0 million, with $200.0 million maturing in June 2024 and the remaining $200.0 million maturing in 2028. Refer to Note 8, “Debt and Finance Lease Obligations.

Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
 
Our derivative assets or liabilities include foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, and our own credit risk as well as an evaluation of our counterparties' credit risks. We use an income approach to value our outstanding foreign currency and interest rate hedges, which consists of a discounted cash flow model that takes into account the present value of future cash flows under the terms of the contract using current market information as of the measurement date such as foreign currency spot rates, forward rates and interest rates. Additionally, we include an element of default risk based on observable inputs into the fair value calculation. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets or liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

In estimating our fair value disclosures for financial instruments, we use the following methods and assumptions:
 
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these items approximates fair value due to their liquid nature and are classified as Level 1.
 
Trade accounts receivable and other accounts receivable, net: The carrying value reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these items is net of allowances, which includes a degree of counterparty non-performance risk and are classified as Level 2.
 
Accounts payable and other current liabilities: The carrying value reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these items approximates their fair value, which is the likely amount for which the liability with short settlement periods would be transferred to a market participant with a similar credit standing as ours and are classified as Level 2.
 
Long-term debt: The carrying value of our long-term debt reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates their fair value since they bear interest at variable rates which contain an element of default risk. The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on quoted prices for those or similar instruments. Refer to Note 8, “Debt and Finance Lease Obligations.

Fair Value of Non-Financial Assets

The fair value of the banana reporting unit's goodwill and the prepared food reporting unit's goodwill and remaining trade names and trademarks are highly sensitive to differences between estimated and actual cash flows and changes in the related discount rate used to evaluate the fair value of these assets. We disclosed the sensitivity related to the banana reporting unit's goodwill and the prepared food reporting unit's goodwill and remaining trade names and trademarks in our notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2022.

In addition, we currently have certain definite-lived intangible assets related to our fresh and value-added products segment which arose from an acquisition and had an aggregate carrying value of $96.9 million as of the quarter ended September 29, 2023. The carrying values of these definite-lived intangible assets are sensitive to changes in estimated cash flows. Our current estimates of future cash flows depend on our ability to demonstrate successful implementation of our strategies to improve sales and profitability from these activities over the upcoming quarters. If we are unable to demonstrate successful implementation of these strategies, it could lead to impairment of some or all of these assets.

Assets held for sale, which had a carrying amount of $1.9 million as of September 29, 2023, primarily consists of $1.0 million related to a facility and farm land in Central America and $0.8 million related to an ocean-going vessel. Assets held for sale are recognized at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. The fair value measurements for our held for sale assets are generally based on Level 3 inputs, which include information obtained from third-party appraisals.
14.  Fair Value Measurements (continued)

During the nine months ended September 29, 2023, our 60% owned joint venture in Saudi Arabia completed the sale of two distribution centers and related assets which were previously held for sale. We received net proceeds of $66.1 million from the sale of these assets and recorded a gain of $20.5 million which is reflected in gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and subsidiary on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Contemporaneously with the execution of the sale and purchase agreement, we entered into an operating lease agreement in which we leased back approximately 31% of the facilities for a term of five years. The lease agreement allows for an option to renew for additional terms, subject to the written agreement of both parties.

During the nine months ended September 29, 2023, we completed the sale of an idle production facility in North America, which was previously held for sale. We received net proceeds of $23.0 million from the sale of this asset and recorded a gain of $7.0 million which is reflected in gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and subsidiary on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Contemporaneously with the execution of the sale and purchase agreement, we entered into an operating lease agreement in which we leased back a portion of the facility for a term of 21 months.

During the nine months ended September 29, 2023, we completed the sale of our plastics business subsidiary in South America for total cash consideration of $17.0 million, and recorded a gain on sale of $3.8 million which is reflected in gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and subsidiary on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. We received $14.0 million of the proceeds in July 2023 and the remaining $3.0 million will be received in three equal and successive semi-annual installments. At September 29, 2023, $2.0 million of the consideration is reflected in other accounts receivable on our Consolidated Balance Sheet while the remaining $1.0 million is reflected in other noncurrent assets. The total consideration associated with the sale is subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The assets and liabilities associated with this business were previously classified as held for sale as of the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and had a net carrying amount of $13.0 million at the time of closing.

In addition to the above asset sales, during the nine months ended September 29, 2023 we received proceeds of $12.2 million from the sale of other assets previously held for sale and recorded an additional gain of $7.1 million which is reflected in gain (loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net and subsidiary on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]  
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest Acquisition Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest Acquisition
As part of the Mann Packing acquisition in 2018, we acquired a put option exercisable by the 25% shareholder of one of the acquired subsidiaries. The put option allowed the noncontrolling shareholder to sell its 25% noncontrolling interest to us for a multiple of the subsidiary's adjusted earnings. As the put option was outside of our control, the carrying value of the 25% noncontrolling interest was presented as a redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of permanent equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. At each reporting period, the redeemable noncontrolling interest was recognized at the higher of (1) the initial carrying amount adjusted for accumulated earnings and distributions or (2) the contractually-defined redemption value as of the balance sheet date.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the noncontrolling shareholder exercised its put option right and accordingly, the Company closed the purchase of the remaining 25% of this subsidiary for $5.2 million in cash consideration. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction, with the differential between the redeemable noncontrolling interest carrying amount at the time of closing and the cash purchase price being recognized as a $42.7 million increase in paid-in capital within shareholders' equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and subsequent amendments to the guidance, ASU 2021-01 in January 2021 and ASU 2022-06 in December 2022. The amendments in these updates provide optional guidance to companies to ease the potential burden associated with reference rate reform. Specifically, the guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions to apply generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. As of December 30, 2022, we had LIBOR-based borrowings and interest rate swaps that referenced LIBOR. Effective January 3, 2023, we amended our agreements and transitioned to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Term SOFR) for these instruments. We adopted the optional guidance in Topic 848 in conjunction with our contract amendments which allowed us to (i) account for the modification to our debt agreement as a continuation of the existing contract and (ii) continue applying hedge accounting for our interest rate swaps. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
