CEO MessAge
Steve Barnard, Chief Executive Officer of Mission Produce, commented, “We posted strong adjusted EBITDA of $ 16.3 million for the second quarter, an increase of 13% year over year. Our blue chip customer base and the flexibility our network offers allowed us to distribute 22% more volume than last year. With our vertical integration and our key information, we are excellently positioned to expand our leadership position. "
Mr. Barnard continued, “Looking into the second half of fiscal year 2021, we are moving into the southern hemisphere season with our Peruvian harvest going online. The growing season has been very productive and we are expecting solid yields from our crop and as prices stabilize we are in a great position to have strong operating performance in the second half of the year, led by our International Farming segment. In the third quarter to this day, retail prices are stable, as is consumer behavior compared to the previous year, which is normal well into the summer months. "
Consolidated financial report for the second quarter of 2021
Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was $ 234.7 million compared to $ 221.6 million for the same period last year, an increase of 6%, largely due to a 22% increase in avocado sold, in part Sales prices per unit of avocado were offset by an average decrease of 14%. Price and volume momentum was driven by strong industrial supply from Mexico in the second quarter, although sequential monthly prices improved over the quarter. In addition, volume in the previous period was negatively impacted by COVID-19-related home stay orders that went into effect in March 2020.
Gross profit increased 26% to $ 27.1 million compared to the same period last year, and the gross profit percentage increased 180 basis points to 11.5% of sales. The increase in gross profit is mainly due to the higher volume of avocados sold. The improvement in the gross profit percentage is due to lower unit sales prices as the unit margin represented a greater proportion of the sales value. Unit sales price levels are a critical factor in the gross profit percentage reported.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the second quarter increased $ 5.2 million to $ 16.3 million, primarily due to higher fees, higher employee-related costs, and higher liability insurance premiums associated with investing in a public company are connected. In connection with our move to our new corporate headquarters in February 2021, we also had to record an increase in rental costs.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was $ 7.4 million, or $ 0.10 per diluted share. This compares with a net loss of $ 14.8 million or ($ 0.23) per diluted share for the same period last year. Fiscal 2020 second quarter net income was negatively impacted by a $ 21.2 million prior year non-cash impairment charge related to our equity method of investing in Moruga.
Adjusted net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was $ 8.7 million, or $ 0.12 per diluted share, compared to $ 6.2 million, or $ 0.10 per diluted share for the same Period of the previous year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $ 16.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2021, compared to $ 14.4 million for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA growth was driven by volume growth and margin improvements, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.
Business segment performance in the second quarter of the fiscal year
marketing & Distribution
Net sales in our Marketing & Distribution segment increased 6% to $ 232.4 million for the quarter, reflecting the same factors influencing Group sales.
Adjusted EBITDA by segment decreased 8% to $ 16.2 million, primarily due to higher SG&A expenses, as described above. The impact was partially offset by a higher gross margin due to the strong volume growth.
International agriculture
Substantially all sales of fruit from the company's International Farming reportable segment go to the Marketing and Sales reportable segment, with the remainder of the revenue coming largely from services provided to independent third parties. Nominal sales are recognized in the first half of the fiscal year as the avocado harvest season for Peruvian farms usually runs from April to August of each year. As a result, International Farming's Adjusted EBITDA is generally focused on the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year, in line with the avocado harvest season in Peru.
Total revenue for the International Farming segment increased 79% to $ 4.3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2021, primarily due to the earlier timing of the avocado harvest season compared to the previous year. Net sales increased 10% to $ 2.3 million for the quarter, primarily due to higher packaging and cold storage service revenues.
The segment's Adjusted EBITDA improved $ 3.3 million to $ 0.1 million, largely due to the aforementioned revenue drivers that enabled us to better manage fixed cost overheads in Peru during the avocado harvest off-season to use.
Balance sheet and cash flow
Cash and cash equivalents were $ 54.2 million as of April 30, 2021, compared to $ 124.0 million as of October 31, 2020.
The company's operating cash flows are seasonal and may be temporarily affected by working capital reallocations resulting from payment timing for Mexican sources that have shorter maturities than other source markets. Additionally, the company is building its growing crop of plants for sale in the first half of the fiscal year, which may affect the year-over-year changes. These variables can cause quarterly shifts in operating cash flow, but are not indicative of positive operating cash flow performance that management expects for the full year.
The cash outflow from operating activities was $ 20.2 million for the first half of fiscal 2021 compared to $ 4.7 million for the same period last year. The $ 15.5 million change was primarily driven by an adverse net change in working capital that is in line with our seasonal expectations. The rise in working capital, particularly in accounts receivable and inventory, was compounded by increases in unit prices in the first half of fiscal 2021.
Investments were $ 46.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2021, compared to $ 19.7 million in the same period last year, and related to land improvements and orchard development in Peru and Guatemala, as well as the completion of the Construction work related to our new facility in Laredo. Texas, which officially opened in May 2021.
outlook
As the company prepares for the second half of the fiscal year, when business moves to its own production in Peru, management has a better view of volumes and costs. As such, it provides model assumptions for the full fiscal year for revenue, volume, and adjusted EBITDA.
- Net sales for the full year 2021 will range from $ 900 million to $ 920 million with an estimated total annual volume of £ 670 million to £ 680 million. Own farm avocado production expectations are in the £ 95 million to £ 105 million range.
- Adjusted EBITDA for full year 2021 is in the range of $ 100 million to $ 105 million but can be affected by future price dynamics that have a disproportionate impact on the profitability of our own manufacturing.

Adjusted EBITDA refers to the net profit (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, share-based compensation expenses, other income (expenses) and income (losses) from investees using the equity method, further adjusted for special, one-off or one-off items (depreciation of investments using the equity method and legal settlement) that distort the result.
