The sharp decline in GAAP earnings and the 4.9% revenue drop, despite the Del Monte Foods acquisition, signal operational headwinds from the Mann Packing divestiture, avocado oversupply, and Middle East supply chain disruptions. The $20.0M impairment charge related to Del Monte Foods right-of-use assets raises integration risk. Monitor the Q2 2026 10-Q for progress on Del Monte Foods integration, debt service costs, and any further impairment charges. The elevated debt load ($438M vs $173M) may pressure margins if interest rates remain elevated.
