Post year end, we announced the sale of our Fresh Vegetables business. This sale will strengthen the financial position of the Group and increase our focus on our core activities.

With our diversified product offering and wide geographic footprint, we believe our business is well positioned for growth. For the 2023 financial year, we are targeting Adjusted EBITDA of $350.0 million.

We thank all of our talented people for their dedication and significant contributions during this past year.”

Group Results - Fourth Quarter

Revenue increased 4.7%, or $104.7 million, primarily due to higher pricing across the Group. On a like-for-like basis3, excluding the impact of foreign currency translation and acquisitions and divestitures, revenue increased 10.2%, or $229.0 million, with growth across all segments.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 21.7%, or $13.3 million, primarily driven by a strong quarter for the Fresh Fruit segment, partially offset by challenges in our Diversified Americas and Diversified EMEA segments and a loss in Fresh Vegetables. On a like-for-like basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased 29.0%.

Adjusted Net Income increased $8.9 million, predominantly due to the increases in Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by a lower income tax benefit and higher interest expense. Adjusted Diluted EPS was $0.09 compared to $0.00 in the prior year.

Group Results - Full Year

Revenue decreased 0.6%, or $56.8 million, on a pro-forma comparative basis; however, on a like-for-like basis, revenue increased 5.0%. The increase was driven by inflation-justified price increases across the Group.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 14.2%, or $55.9 million, on a pro-forma comparative basis, primarily due to losses incurred by the Fresh Vegetables segment following a challenging year, as well as the negative impact of foreign currency translation. On a like-for-like basis, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 10.4%.

Adjusted Net Income decreased by 34.9%, or $49.2 million, on a pro-forma comparative basis, predominantly due to the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and higher interest expense. Adjusted Diluted EPS decreased by 34.9% to $0.97.

Vegetables Transaction

On January 30, 2023, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Fresh Express Acquisitions LLC (“Fresh Express”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Chiquita Holdings Limited, pursuant to which Fresh Express has agreed to acquire our Fresh Vegetables division for approximately $293.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Agreement (the “Vegetables Transaction”). The Vegetables Transaction is expected to close after regulatory approvals are obtained, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.

Fourth Quarter Commentary

Fresh Fruit

Revenue increased 8.7%, or $59.3 million, compared to the prior year quarter. Revenue was positively impacted by higher worldwide pricing of bananas, higher commercial cargo revenues and increases in volumes of pineapples sold in core markets, partially offset by lower volumes of bananas sold.

Adjusted EBITDA increased significantly by 162.7%, or $25.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA was positively impacted by higher revenue, partially offset by higher fruit sourcing costs and higher costs of shipping, packaging and handling.

Diversified Fresh Produce – EMEA

Revenue decreased 7.8%, or $63.7 million, primarily driven by a negative translation impact on currency of $117.3 million due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the European currencies. On a like-for-like basis, revenue increased 6.9%, or $56.6 million, primarily driven by inflation-justified price increases across the segment.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 19.5%, or $5.7 million. On a like-for-like basis, excluding the negative impact of currency translation of $4.4 million, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 4.8%, or $1.4 million. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily a result of losses on crop yield in South Africa and a weaker quarter in our Northern European and Irish businesses, offset by a stronger performance by our Spanish, Czech and Dutch businesses.

Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas & ROW

Revenue increased 19.6%, or $94.2 million, primarily driven by higher pricing and volumes of cherries in Chile, higher pricing for potatoes and onions in North America and overall positive growth in our North American operations.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 24.4%, or $5.0 million. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a weak season for Chilean apples and kiwis and raspberries in North America, partially offset by a strong start to the Chilean cherry season and continued positive performance of potatoes and onions in North America.

Fresh Vegetables

Revenue increased 6.1%, or $18.2 million. This increase was primarily driven by price increases realized for value-added products and continued strong pricing of fresh-packed products, partially offset by lower volumes of both value-added and fresh-packed products.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 33.3%, or $1.5 million. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by a challenging quarter in value-added products, due to sourcing challenges which led to lower volumes and higher input costs, as well as by the continued impact of inflationary cost increases on freight, packaging materials, food ingredients and labor. These challenges in value-added products were partially offset by improved performance for fresh-packed products. The prior year quarter was adversely impacted by the packaged salads recall announced on December 24, 2021.

Full Year Commentary

Fresh Fruit

Revenue increased 5.9%, or $170.1 million, on a pro-forma comparative basis. The increase was predominantly driven by higher worldwide pricing of bananas and higher commercial cargo revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 1.0%, or $2.2 million, on a pro-forma comparative basis. Adjusted EBITDA was positively impacted by higher revenue, partially offset by lower volumes of pineapples in North America and higher costs of ocean and inland freight, packaging, fertilizers and other materials.

Diversified Fresh Produce – EMEA

Revenue decreased 8.3%, or $285.8 million, on a pro-forma comparative basis, primarily driven by a negative translation impact on currency of $418.9 million and a net unfavorable impact on revenue from acquisitions and divestitures of $92.6 million. On a like-for-like basis, revenue increased 6.6%, or $225.7 million, primarily driven by inflation-justified price increases across the segment, as well as an increase in food service activity from the general easing of COVID-19 restrictions.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 12.5%, or $16.4 million, on a pro-forma comparative basis. On a like-for-like basis, excluding the negative impact of currency translation of $16.3 million, Adjusted EBITDA was flat. Strong performance in our Spanish, U.K. and Dutch businesses and an overall increase in average selling prices was offset by logistical challenges on trading in Northern Europe and losses on crop yield in South Africa.

Diversified Fresh Produce – Americas & ROW

Revenue increased 10.5%, or $186.6 million, on a pro-forma comparative basis, primarily driven by higher pricing for potatoes and onions in North America, as well as by good performance from avocados and a strong start to the Chilean cherry season.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 16.6%, or $8.8 million, on a pro-forma comparative basis. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a challenging end to the Chilean grape season, weaker performance for apples and kiwis in South America and lower pricing for raspberries in North America. These negative impacts were partially offset by strong performance for potatoes, onions and avocados in North America and growth for Chilean cherries.

Fresh Vegetables

Revenue decreased 5.8%, or $74.7 million, on a pro-forma comparative basis. Revenue was impacted by lower volumes following the packaged salads recall and plant suspension at the outset of 2022 and planned reduction of fresh-packed vegetables volumes.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $32.8 million on a pro-forma comparative basis. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily a result of lower revenue following the packaged salads recall and inflationary cost increases in freight, packaging materials, food ingredients and product sourcing. Unfavorable weather events in the second half of the year also impacted product sourcing. These challenges were partially offset by improved performance for fresh-packed products.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $98.0 million and included investments in farm renovations and greenhouse projects across our growing regions, the acquisition of an additional farm in Peru and ongoing investments in information technology, logistics and efficiency projects in our warehouses and processing facilities.

Net Debt

Net Debt as of December 31, 2022 was $1.0 billion.

Outlook and Strategic Priorities for Fiscal Year 2023 (forward-looking statement)

The operating environment in 2023 continues to bring both new opportunities and new challenges.

We are continuing to see improvements in global supply chains and signs of moderating inflation, which can have a positive impact on our business. However, we have also witnessed further weather events, such as colder weather in Spain and Northern Africa, which have created challenges for importers in Northern Europe at the start of the year.

Within our own business, we recently experienced a cybersecurity incident identified as ransomware. We moved quickly to contain the threat and have been working closely with leading cybersecurity experts to remediate the issue and secure our systems. We have also been cooperating with law enforcement. The incident had a limited overall impact on our operations; however, it was disruptive for our Chilean and Fresh Vegetables businesses in particular.

Overall, for full year 2023, we believe our business is well positioned for growth. While forecasting in the current environment is complex, we are targeting full year Adjusted EBITDA of $350.0 million. This target assumes no contribution from the Fresh Vegetables division.

The above outlook includes non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the appendix of this release for an explanation and reconciliation of our historical non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to comparable GAAP financial measures.

On March 6, 2023, the Board of Directors of Dole plc declared a cash dividend for the fourth quarter of 2022 of $0.08 per share, payable on April 21, 2023 to shareholders of record on March 31, 2023. A cash dividend of $0.08 per share was paid on January 6, 2023 for the third quarter of 2022.

Net Debt Reconciliation – Unaudited

Net Debt is the primary measure used by management to analyze the Company’s capital structure. Net Debt is a non-GAAP financial measure, calculated as cash and cash equivalents, less current and long-term debt. It also excludes debt discounts and debt issuance costs. The calculation of Net Debt as of December 31, 2022 is presented below. Net Debt as of December 31, 2022 was $1.0 billion.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Dole plc’s results are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

In addition to its results under U.S. GAAP, in this Press Release we also present Dole plc’s Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Net Debt, pro-forma Adjusted EBIT, pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, pro-forma Adjusted Net Income and pro-forma Adjusted Earnings per Share, which are supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP (collectively, the "non-GAAP financial measures"). We present these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results, cash flows or any other measure prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by any of the adjusted items, or that any projections and estimates will be realized in their entirety or at all. In addition, adjustment items that are excluded from non-GAAP results can have a material impact on equivalent GAAP earnings, financial measures and cash flows.

Adjusted EBIT is calculated from GAAP net income by: (1) adding the income tax expense or subtracting the income tax benefit; (2) adding interest expense; (3) adding mark to market losses or subtracting mark to market gains related to unrealized impacts from derivative instruments and foreign currency denominated borrowings, realized impacts on noncash settled foreign currency denominated borrowings, net foreign currency impacts on liquidated entities and fair value movements on contingent consideration; (4) other items which are separately stated based on materiality, which include adding merger, transaction and other related costs, adding incremental costs for produce recalls, adding or subtracting asset write-downs, net of insurance proceeds, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the disposal of business interests, adding the incremental costs from the fair value uplift for biological assets and inventory related to the acquisition of Legacy Dole, adding impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, subtracting the fair value gain or adding the fair value loss on the acquisition of investments previously accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the sale of investments accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on asset sales for assets held-for-sale and actively marketed property and adding restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the ordinary course of business; and (5) other adjustments from equity method investments, which includes the Company’s share of these items within equity method earnings.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated from GAAP net income by: (1) adding the income tax expense or subtracting the income tax benefit; (2) adding interest expense; (3) adding depreciation charges; (4) adding amortization charges; (5) adding mark to market losses or subtracting mark to market gains related to unrealized impacts from derivative instruments and foreign currency denominated borrowings, realized impacts on noncash settled foreign currency denominated borrowings, net foreign currency impacts on liquidated entities and fair value movements on contingent consideration; (6) other items which are separately stated based on materiality, which include adding merger, transaction and other related costs, adding incremental costs for produce recalls, adding or subtracting asset write-downs, net of insurance proceeds, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the disposal of business interests, adding the incremental costs from the fair value uplift for biological assets and inventory related to the acquisition of Legacy Dole, adding impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, subtracting the fair value gain or adding the fair value loss on the acquisition of investments previously accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the sale of investments accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on asset sales for assets held-for-sale and actively marketed property and adding restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the ordinary course of business; and (7) other adjustments from equity method investments, which includes the Company’s share of these items within equity method earnings.

Adjusted Net Income is calculated from GAAP net income attributable to Dole plc by: (1) adding amortization charges; (2) adding mark to market losses or subtracting mark to market gains related to unrealized impacts from derivative instruments and foreign currency denominated borrowings, realized impacts on noncash settled foreign currency denominated borrowings, net foreign currency impacts on liquidated entities and fair value movements on contingent consideration; (3) other items which are separately stated based on materiality, which include adding merger, transaction and other related costs, adding incremental costs for produce recalls, adding or subtracting asset write-downs, net of insurance proceeds, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the disposal of business interests, adding the incremental costs from the fair value uplift for biological assets and inventory related to the acquisition of Legacy Dole, adding impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, subtracting the fair value gain or adding the fair value loss on the acquisition of investments previously accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the sale of investments accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on asset sales for assets held-for-sale and actively marketed property and adding restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the ordinary course of business; (4) other adjustments from equity method investments, which includes the Company’s share of these items within equity method earnings; (5) excluding the tax effect of these items and discrete tax adjustments; and (6) excluding the effect of these items attributable to non-controlling interests.

Adjusted Earnings per Share is calculated from Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average number of shares in the applicable period.

Net Debt is a non-GAAP financial measure, calculated as GAAP cash and cash equivalents, less GAAP current and long-term debt. It also excludes GAAP debt discounts and debt issuance costs.

Pro-forma EBIT is calculated from pro-forma net income by adding pro-forma interest expense and adding the pro-forma income tax expense or subtracting the pro-forma income tax benefit, as well as including the following pro-forma adjustments: (1) adding mark to market losses or subtracting mark to market gains related to unrealized impacts from derivative instruments and foreign currency denominated borrowings, realized impacts on noncash settled foreign currency denominated borrowings, net foreign currency impacts on liquidated entities and fair value movements on contingent consideration; (2) other items which are separately stated based on materiality, which include adding merger, transaction and other related costs, adding incremental costs for produce recalls, adding or subtracting asset write-downs, net of insurance proceeds, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the disposal of business interests, adding the incremental costs from the fair value uplift for biological assets and inventory related to the acquisition of Legacy Dole, adding impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, subtracting the fair value gain or adding the fair

value loss on the acquisition of investments previously accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the sale of investments accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on asset sales for assets held-for-sale and actively marketed property and adding restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the ordinary course of business; and (3) other adjustments from equity method investments, which includes the Company’s share of these items within equity method earnings.

Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA is calculated from pro-forma EBIT by including the following pro-forma adjustments: (1) adding depreciation charges; and (2) adding amortization charges. It also includes the effect of the Company’s share of these listed items within investments accounted for under the equity method.

Pro-forma Adjusted Net Income is calculated from pro-forma net income attributable to Dole plc by include the following pro-forma adjustments: (1) adding amortization charges; (2) adding mark to market losses or subtracting mark to market gains related to unrealized impacts from derivative instruments and foreign currency denominated borrowings, realized impacts on noncash settled foreign currency denominated borrowings, net foreign currency impacts on liquidated entities and fair value movements on contingent consideration; (3) other items which are separately stated based on materiality, which include adding merger, transaction and other related costs, adding incremental costs for produce recalls, adding or subtracting asset write-downs, net of insurance proceeds, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the disposal of business interests, adding the incremental costs from the fair value uplift for biological assets and inventory related to the acquisition of Legacy Dole, adding impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, subtracting the fair value gain or adding the fair value loss on the acquisition of investments previously accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on the sale of investments accounted for under the equity method, subtracting the gain or adding the loss on asset sales for assets held-for-sale and actively marketed property and adding restructuring charges and costs for legal matters not in the ordinary course of business; (4) other adjustments from equity method investments, which includes the Company’s share of these items within equity method earnings; (5) it excludes the tax effect of these items and discrete tax adjustments; and (6) excluding the effect of these items attributable to non-controlling interests.

Pro-forma Adjusted Earnings per Share is calculated from pro-forma Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average number of shares in the applicable period.

Adjusted EBIT, pro-forma EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, pro-forma Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Net Debt and pro-forma Adjusted EPS are not measurements of Dole plc financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to Dole plc, net income, income before income taxes and equity earnings or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, pro-forma EBIT, pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, pro-forma Adjusted Net Income and pro-forma Adjusted EPS are not intended to be liquidity measures because of certain limitations such as:

•They do not reflect Dole plc’s cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, Dole plc’s working capital needs;

•They do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on Dole plc’s debt; and

•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and these non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements.

Because of these limitations, pro-forma EBIT, pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, pro-forma Adjusted Net Income, and pro-forma Adjusted EPS should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to Dole plc to invest in the growth of its and Dole plc’s business.

Further, pro-forma EBIT, pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, pro-forma Adjusted Net Income, and pro-forma Adjusted EPS as used herein may not be calculated in a similar manner to, and are therefore not necessarily comparable with, similarly titled measures of other companies. However, we have included pro-forma EBIT, pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, pro-forma Adjusted Net Income, and pro-forma Adjusted EPS herein because Dole plc’s management believes that pro-forma EBIT, pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, pro-forma Adjusted Net Income, and pro-forma Adjusted EPS are useful performance measures.

Dole is not able to provide a reconciliation for projected FY'23 Adjusted EBITDA without undertaking unreasonable efforts.

Pro-forma Methodology

The methodology used to prepare the unaudited pro-forma consolidated financial statements for Dole plc to show the estimated effects of the acquisition of DFC by TP and the IPO and refinancing as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020 and is consistent with how the pro-forma financial statements were prepared in the F-1. The results for the three months ended December 31, 2021 are based on the Company's consolidated statutory results and therefore are not pro-forma adjusted.

1.All associated transaction costs reflected on January 1, 2020. As such, no transaction costs are included within the pro-forma numbers discussed below.

2.Effective tax rate of 26% for the year ended December 31, 2021.

3.Applying the results of the Purchase Price Allocation (“PPA”) exercise, acquisition accounting and debt refinancing to January 1, 2020:

21

a.Q4 2021 year to date pro-forma results reflect a reduction in the depreciation charge of $4.0 million. This is a function of the asset values increasing as a result of the PPA exercise offset by an increase in the estimated useful lives of the assets.

b.The interest expense for Q4 2021 reflects the outcome of the refinancing.

4.TP’s pickup of its 45.0% share of DFC’s net income has been eliminated.

5.EPS is calculated using shares in issue following the IPO and additional share issuances.

6.There is a year to date adjustment in Q4 2021 of $9.8 million to reflect estimated ongoing incremental public company costs of $14.0 million annualized.
