1. Description of the business

Business

Calavo Growers, Inc. (referred to in this report as “Calavo”, the “Company”, “we’, “us” or “our”), is a global leader in the avocado industry and a provider of value-added fresh food. Our expertise in marketing and distributing avocados, prepared avocados, and other perishable foods allows us to deliver a wide array of fresh and prepared food products to retail grocery, foodservice, club stores, mass merchandisers, food distributors and wholesalers on a worldwide basis. We procure avocados from California, Mexico and other growing regions around the world. Through our various operating facilities, we (i) sort, pack, and/or ripen avocados, tomatoes and/or Hawaiian grown papayas, (ii) create, process and package a portfolio of healthy fresh foods including fresh-cut fruit and vegetables, and prepared foods and (iii) process and package guacamole and salsa. We distribute our products both domestically and internationally and report our operations in three different business segments: Fresh products, Renaissance Food Group (RFG) and Calavo Foods.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes," which amends and simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and providing new guidance to reduce complexity in certain aspects of the current guidance. This guidance was adopted by the Company during the first quarter of 2022 and did not impact the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.

2. Information regarding our operations in different segments

We report our operations in three different business segments: (1) Fresh products, (2) RFG, and (3) Calavo Foods. These three business segments are presented based on how information is used by our Chief Executive Officer (our Chief Operating Decision Maker) to measure performance and allocate resources. The Fresh products segment includes operations that involve the distribution of avocados and other fresh produce products. The RFG segment represents operations related to the manufacturing and distribution of fresh-cut fruit, fresh-cut vegetables, and prepared foods. The Calavo Foods segment represents operations related to the purchase, manufacturing, and distribution of prepared avocado products, including guacamole, and salsa. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as other non-operating income/expense items, are evaluated by our Chief Executive Officer in the aggregate. We do not allocate

assets, or specifically identify them, to our operating segments. The sales data in the following tables is presented in thousands:

For the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, intercompany sales and cost of sales of $0.5 million and $0.7 million between Fresh products and RFG were eliminated.

Our foreign operations in Mexico are subject to exchange rate fluctuations and foreign currency transaction costs. The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries in Mexico is the United States dollar (U.S. dollar). As a result, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets, liabilities and equity are translated at historical rates. Sales and expenses are translated using a weighted-average exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses resulting from those remeasurements and foreign currency transactions are recognized within cost of sales. We recognized foreign currency remeasurement losses in the current quarter. These losses were due primarily to certain long-term net peso receivables. Foreign currency remeasurement losses, net of gains, for the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.3 million and $0.5 million. Foreign currency remeasurement losses, net of gains, for the six months ended April 30, 2022 was $0.9 million. Foreign currency remeasurement gains, net of losses, for the six months ended April 30, 2021 was $0.6 million.

Board of Directors

Certain members of our Board of Directors market California avocados through Calavo pursuant to marketing agreements substantially similar to the marketing agreements that we enter into with other growers. For the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, the aggregate amount of avocados procured from entities owned or controlled by members of our Board of Directors was $1.4 million and $5.0 million. For the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, the aggregate amount of avocados procured from entities owned or controlled by members of our Board of Directors was $1.6 million and $5.0 million. Amounts payable to these Board members were $0.5 million as of April 30, 2022. We did not have any amounts payable to these Board members as of October 31, 2021.

Limoneira

During the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, we received $0.1 million as dividend income from Limoneira Company (Limoneira). During the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, we received $0.2 million as dividend income from Limoneira. In addition, we lease office space from Limoneira for our corporate office. We paid rent expense to Limoneira totaling $0.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021. We paid rent expense to Limoneira totaling $0.2 million for the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021. Harold Edwards, who resigned as a member of our Board of Directors in February 2022, is the Chief Executive Officer of Limoneira Company. As of April 30, 2022, we own approximately 9% of Limoneira’s outstanding shares. In February 2022, Limoneira ended its marketing agreement with Calavo. The termination of this agreement is not expected to have a significant effect on either sales or results of operations.

Agricola Don Memo, S.A. de C.V. (“Don Memo”)

Calavo and Agricola Belher (“Belher”) have an equal one-half ownership interest in Don Memo. Pursuant to a management service agreement, Belher, through its officers and employees, has day-to-day power and authority to manage the operations.

As of April 30, 2022, and October 31, 2021, we had an investment of $3.8 million and $4.3 million, representing Calavo’s 50% ownership in Don Memo, which was included as an investment in unconsolidated entities on our balance sheet. We make advances to Don Memo for operating purposes, provide additional advances as shipments are made during the season, and return the proceeds from tomato sales under our marketing program to Don Memo, net of our commission and aforementioned advances. As of April 30, 2022 and October 31, 2021, we had outstanding advances of $4.2 million and $4.2 million to Don Memo. In October 2020, we entered into an infrastructure loan agreement with Don Memo for up to $2.4 million secured by certain property and equipment of Don Memo. This infrastructure loan accrues

interest at 7.25%. In October 2020, we funded $0.7 million related to this loan agreement, and we funded an additional $0.7 million, and $0.6 million in the first, and second quarters of fiscal 2021, for a total outstanding balance at April 30, 2022 of $2.0 million ($0.4 million is included in prepaids and other current assets and $1.6 million in other assets). This infrastructure loan agreement will mature in fiscal 2024. During the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred $0.5 million and $0.4 million of cost of sales to Don Memo pursuant to our purchase consignment agreement. During the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred $3.9 million and $3.9 million of cost of sales to Don Memo pursuant to our purchase consignment agreement.

Belher

We make advances to Belher for operating purposes, provide additional advances as shipments are made during the season, and return the proceeds from tomato sales under our marketing program to Belher, net of our commission and aforementioned advances. We had grower advances due from Belher totaling $1.8 million and $4.5 million as of April 30, 2022 and October 31, 2021, which are netted against the grower payable. In addition, we had infrastructure advances due from Belher of $0.9 million as of April 30, 2022 and October 31, 2021. These infrastructure advances were recorded as a receivable in prepaid and other current assets as of April 30, 2022 and October 31, 2021. In July 2021, we made a bridge loan of $3.5 million to Belher. This loan is secured by certain farmland in Mexico and accrues interest at 10%. In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, this loan was amended to be due with installments of $0.9 million on July 31, 2022, $0.9 million on July 31, 2023 and $1.7 million on July 31, 2024. This bridge loan has been recorded as $0.9 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $2.6 million in other assets. As part of this amended loan agreement, we can withhold payments on both the infrastructure advances and the bridge loan through the netting against the grower payable due to Belher. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2022, we withheld $1.0 million from payments to Belher to offset infrastructure advances and the bridge loan repayments. During the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred $14.6 million and $11.2 million of cost of sales to Belher pursuant to our purchase consignment agreement. During the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred $18.0 million and $14.5 million of cost of sales to Belher pursuant to our purchase consignment agreement.

Avocados de Jalisco, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“Avocados de Jalisco”)

In August 2015, we entered into a Shareholder’s Agreement with various Mexican partners and created Avocados de Jalisco. Avocados de Jalisco is a Mexican corporation created to engage in procuring, packing and selling avocados. As of April 30, 2022, this entity was approximately 83% owned by Calavo and was consolidated in our financial statements. Avocados de Jalisco built a packinghouse located in Jalisco, Mexico, which began operations in June of 2017. During the three months ended April 30, 2021 we purchased approximately $1.0 million of avocados from the partners of Avocados de Jalisco. During the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, we purchased approximately $3.5 million and $3.2 million of avocados from the partners of Avocados de Jalisco.

Restricted Stock Awards

On December 13, 2021, certain of our officers were granted a total of 5,355 restricted shares. These shares have full voting rights and participate in dividends as if unrestricted. The closing price of our stock on such date was $40.53. These shares vest over two years, on an annual basis, beginning December 13, 2022. These shares were granted pursuant to our 2020 Plan. The total recognized stock-based compensation expense for these grants was less than $0.1 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2022.

On January 3, 2022, all 10 of our current directors were granted 2,814 restricted shares each (for a total of 28,140 shares). These shares have full voting rights and participate in dividends as if unrestricted. The closing share price of our stock on such grant date was $42.64. As of January 3, 2023, these shares will vest and become unrestricted subject to the continued service of the director. The total recognized stock-based compensation expense for these grants was $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2022.

On January 20, 2022, one of our current directors was granted 1,500 unrestricted shares as a component of her compensation for services rendered during the 2021 fiscal year. The closing share price of our stock on such grant date was $41.73. The stock-based compensation expense for this grant was recognized in total upon grant and aggregated $0.1 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2022.

On February 1, 2022, Brian Kocher, our new Chief Executive Officer, was granted 28,993 of restricted shares as part of his employment agreement. The closing share price of our stock on such grant date was $41.39. These shares will vest over three years on an annual basis, beginning February 1, 2023. The total recognized stock-based compensation expense for this grant was $0.1 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2022.

A combined summary of restricted stock award activity, related to our 2011 and 2020 Plans, is as follows (in thousands, except for per share amounts):


		Weighted-Average		Aggregate
	Number of Shares	Grant Price		Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at October 31, 2021	43	$	64.89
Vested	(31)	$	45.44
Forfeited	(1)	$	44.57
Granted	64	$	41.88
Outstanding at April 30, 2022	75	$	44.08	$	2,718

The total recognized stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock was $0.8 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021. The total recognized stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock was $1.4 million and $2.3 million for the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021. Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense totaled $1.5 million as of April 30, 2022 and will be amortized through fiscal year 2024.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and Performance Restricted Stock Units (PRSUs)

On April 1, 2022, we issued RSUs for officers and other members of management as part of our long-term incentive plan. The RSUs are time-based and vest annually in equal amounts over a three-year period. The PRSUs are based on three-year cumulative performance targets of net sales, adjusted EBITDA and return on invested capital and vest entirely at the third anniversary. We granted 34,269 shares of RSUs and 27,547 shares of PRSUs at a grant stock price of $37.49. Based on our current projections, we recognized approximately $0.1 million of stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended April 30, 2022. As of April 30, 2022, there was $2.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation costs related to non-vested RSUs and PRSUs, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years. The total fair value of the restricted stock units at April 30, 2022, is approximately $2.3 million.

Stock Options

Stock options are granted with exercise prices of not less than the fair market value at grant date, generally vest over one to five years and generally expire two to five years after the vest date. We settle stock option exercises with newly issued shares of common stock.

We measure compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense in our consolidated statements of operations over the service period that the awards are expected to vest. We measure the fair value of our stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant.

A summary of stock option activity, related to our 2011 and 2020 Plans, is as follows (in thousands, except for weighted-average exercise price):


		Weighted-Average		Aggregate
		Exercise		Intrinsic
	Number of Shares	Price		Value
Outstanding at October 31, 2021	19	$	42.89
Exercised	(2)	$	23.48
Outstanding at April 30, 2022	17	$	47.62	$	193
Exercisable at April 30, 2022	12	$	51.12	$	179

At April 30, 2022, outstanding and exercisable stock options had a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 2.9 years. The total recognized and unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was insignificant for the three and six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021.

Dividend payment

On December 3, 2021, we paid a $1.15 per share dividend in the aggregate amount of $20.3 million to shareholders of record on November 12, 2021.

Litigation

From time to time, we are involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business that we do not believe will have a material adverse impact on our financial statements.

Mexico tax audits

We conduct business both domestically and internationally and, as a result, one or more of our subsidiaries files income tax returns in U.S. federal, U.S. state and certain foreign jurisdictions. Accordingly, in the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities, primarily in Mexico and the United States.

2011 Assessment

On June 16, 2021 Calavo reached a settlement agreement with the Ministry of Finance and Administration of the government of the State of Michoacan, Mexico (MFM) regarding a 2011 Assessment of approximately $2.2 billion Mexican pesos related to income tax, flat rate business tax and value added tax. Calavo agreed to pay approximately $47.8 million Mexican pesos (approximately $2.4 million USD) as a full and final settlement of all taxes, fines, and penalties.

2013 Assessment

In January 2017, we received preliminary observations from the Servicio de Administracion Tributaria in Mexico (the “SAT”) related to an audit for fiscal year 2013 outlining certain proposed adjustments primarily related to intercompany funding, deductions for services from certain vendors/suppliers and IVA. We provided a written rebuttal to these preliminary observations during our second fiscal quarter of 2017. During the period from our third fiscal quarter of 2017 through our third fiscal quarter of 2018, we attempted to resolve our case with the SAT through the conclusive agreement submitted before PRODECON (Mexican Tax Ombudsman), having several working meetings attended by representatives of the SAT, Calavo de Mexico (CDM) and the PRODECON. However, we were unable to materially resolve our case with the SAT through the PRODECON process.

As a result, in July 2018, the SAT’s local office in Uruapan issued to CDM a final tax assessment (the “2013 Assessment”) totaling approximately $2.6 billion Mexican pesos (which includes annual adjustments for inflation, and equals approximately $129.5 million USD at April 30, 2022) related to Income Tax, Flat Rate Business Tax, and value added tax, related to this fiscal 2013 tax audit. This amount has been adjusted for inflation as of April 30, 2022 to the amount of $3.08 billion Mexican pesos (approx. $153.5 million USD). Additionally, the tax authorities have determined that we owe our employee’s profit-sharing liability, totaling approximately $118 million Mexican pesos (approx. $5.9 million USD at April 30, 2022). In August 2018, we filed an Administrative Appeal on the 2013 Assessment, appealing our case to the SAT’s central legal department in Michoacan.

On June 25, 2021, we became aware that the Administrative Appeal had been resolved by the SAT against CDM on March 12, 2021, and that we had allegedly failed to timely respond to and challenge the SAT’s notification of such resolution, therefore rendering the 2013 Assessment as definitive. Consequently, the SAT placed liens on the fixed assets of CDM, with a net book value of approximately $26 million USD, and on bank accounts of CDM totaling approximately $1 million USD in order to guaranty the 2013 Assessment. Based on legal counsel from our tax advisory firm, we and our tax advisory firm have concluded that the March notification was not legally communicated.

On August 27, 2021, we filed a formal complaint, or queja, (the “Complaint”) before the PRODECON to request its assistance with having the SAT act upon the Reconsideration. The Complaint was withdrawn in September, but may still be reinstated if deemed appropriate in the future.

On August 18, 2021, we filed an Administrative Reconsideration (the Reconsideration) before the Central Legal Department of the SAT located in Mexico City, asserting that the resolution in March of the Administrative Appeal was wrongly concluded, in particular with respect to the following matters:

o

Failure to recognize CDM as a “maquiladora”

o

Considering the Company to have a permanent establishment in Mexico,

o

Including fruit purchase deposits transferred by the Company to CDM as taxable,

o

Application of 16% IVA tax to fruit purchase deposits; and

o

Imposing double-taxation on the fruit purchase transactions

On August 20, 2021 we filed an Annulment Suit (the Annulment Suit) with the Federal Tax Court, which among other things, strongly contends that the notifications made by the SAT to CDM and its designated advisors of the resolution of the Administrative Appeal in March 2021 were not legally communicated. In addition, the Annulment Suit asserts the same matters central to the Reconsideration, as described above, as wrongly concluded in the resolution of the Administrative Appeal.

On September 22, 2021, we had an initial in-person meeting with the SAT in Mexico City to formally present and discuss the Reconsideration. The SAT agreed to review our Reconsideration in more detail; however, on January 3, 2022, the SAT formally rejected our request for the Reconsideration. In response to this rejection, on January 21, 2022, we filed an injunction suit (the “Amparo”) with a federal district court seeking to nullify the arguments against the Reconsideration made by the SAT on constitutional grounds.

On February 4, 2022, we had a follow-up meeting with the SAT in Mexico City to begin a dialog with the objective of reaching a settlement of the 2013 Assessment. The SAT agreed in principle to continue this dialog, but requested that we provide a financial guaranty to secure the related tax as a pre-requisite to these discussions.

On February 25, 2022, we filed an additional injunction in which we seek to have the liens against the bank accounts of CDM lifted. The injunction suit has been accepted by the court and we are expecting a response by September 2022. The main purpose of the injunction suit was to challenge the SAT’s response issued to the Reconsideration, and with that, to keep the Reconsideration alive until the injunction suit is decided. This would allow time to continue the discussions with SAT at the administrative level and would give SAT the legal basis to issue a new resolution in terms of what may be agreed in the ongoing discussions with SAT. This injunction suit represents a further opportunity as well for a Court of Law to analyze this matter from a constitutional perspective.

The injunction suit has been admitted for analysis by the District Court, however, SAT filed a complaint (queja) against the ruling allowing CDM to file an extension of the injunction suit aiming to appoint as a defendant other than SAT’s authority that were involved in the reconsideration appeal's resolution. This complaint was filed by SAT to challenge the admission and analysis of the injunction suit; this complaint is expected to be decided by the Circuit Courts within the next couple of months.

On March 10, 2022, we met with the SAT and offered an Administrative Guaranty (Embargo en Via Administrativa) to secure the 2013 Assessment, which provides the SAT with certain administrative rights to CDM assets in the unlikely event we do not prevail in our actions through the Federal Tax Court (see below). Once the Administrative Guaranty is in place, the existing liens over the assets of CDM will be removed and the SAT collection process will be suspended.

On March 4, 2022, the Annulment Suit was formally accepted by the Federal Tax Court, which simultaneously granted a provisional suspension of the collections proceedings by the SAT. The acceptance by the court of the Annulment Suit renders the 2013 Assessment as non-definitive, until such time as the suit is resolved.

On April 27, 2022, the SAT provided a Positive Compliance Opinion to CDM, and consequently on April 29, 2022, the Tax Authority renewed the VAT Certification to CDM. These two resolutions signal a positive development on the Tax controversies in Mexico.

On April 29, 2022, we submitted all the documentation required to the Tax Authority and the Federal Tax Court to continue with the consideration of the Administrative Guaranty. Once the Administrative Guaranty is ruled and accepted by the FTC and tax authority, they will permanently suspend and remove the liens on the fixed assets and bank accounts of CDM.

While we continue to believe that the 2013 Assessment is completely without merit, and that we will prevail on the Annulment Suit in the Tax Court, we also believe it is in the best interest of CDM and the Company to settle the 2013 Assessment as quickly as possible. Furthermore, we believe that the above actions taken by CDM will encourage the SAT to agree to reach a settlement. In accordance with our cumulative probability analysis on uncertain tax positions, our recent settlements, made by the SAT in other cases, the 2011 Assessment settlement reached by CDM with the MFM, and the value of CDM assets, we recorded a provision of $11 million USD, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, as a discrete item in Income Tax Provision. The provision includes estimated penalties, interest and inflationary adjustments. We believe that this provision remains appropriate as of April 30, 2022 based on or cumulative probability analysis. We incurred $0.5 million and $0.8 million of related professional fees for the three and six months ended April 30, 2022, which have been recorded in Expenses related to Mexican Tax matters.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

8.	Fair value measurements

A fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tiered hierarchy draws distinctions between market participant assumptions based on (i) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2) and (iii) unobservable inputs that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3).

The following table sets forth our financial assets and liabilities as of April 30, 2022 that are measured on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy:


	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

	(All amounts are presented in thousands)
Assets at Fair Value at April 30, 2022:
Investment in Limoneira Company⁽¹⁾	$	20,027		-		-	$	20,027
Total assets at fair value	$	20,027		-		-	$	20,027

Assets at Fair Value at October 31, 2021:
Investment in Limoneira Company⁽¹⁾	$	27,055		-		-	$	27,055
Total assets at fair value	$	27,055		-		-	$	27,055

(1) The investment in Limoneira Company consists of marketable securities in the Limoneira Company common stock. We currently own approximately 9% of Limoneira’s outstanding common stock. These securities are measured at fair value using quoted market prices. For the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized losses of $4.9 million and gains of $3.5 million, respectively, on the consolidated condensed statements of operations. For the six months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized losses of $7.0 million and gains of $7.1 million, respectively, on the consolidated condensed statement of operations.

Mexican IVA taxes receivable

Mexican IVA taxes receivable

Mexican IVA taxes receivable

Included in other assets are tax receivables due from the Mexican government for value-added taxes (“IVA”) paid in advance. CDM is charged IVA by vendors on certain expenditures in Mexico, which, insofar as they relate to the exportation of goods, translate into IVA amounts recoverable from the Mexican government.

As of April 30, 2022, and October 31, 2021, CDM IVA receivables totaled $39.8 million (819.2 million Mexican pesos) and $37.5 million (762.1 million Mexican pesos). Historically, CDM received IVA refund payments from the Mexican tax authorities on a timely basis. Beginning in fiscal 2014 and continuing into fiscal 2022, the tax authorities began carrying out more detailed reviews of our refund requests and our supporting documentation. Additionally, they are also questioning the refunds requested attributable to IVA paid to certain suppliers that allegedly did not fulfill their own tax obligations. We believe these factors and others have contributed to delays in the processing of IVA claims by the Mexican tax authorities. Currently, we are in the process of collecting such balances primarily through regular administrative processes, but these amounts may ultimately need to be recovered through Administrative Appeals and/or legal means.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the tax authorities informed us that their internal opinion, based on the information provided by the local SAT office, considers that CDM is not properly documented relative to its declared tax structure and therefore CDM cannot claim the refundable IVA balance. CDM has strong arguments and supporting documentation to sustain its declared tax structure for IVA and income tax purposes. CDM started an Administrative Appeal for the IVA related to the request of the months of July, August and September of 2015 (the “2015 Appeal”) in order to assert its argument that CDM is properly documented and to therefore change the SAT’s internal assessment. In August 2018, we received a favorable ruling from the SAT’s Legal Administration in Michoacan on the 2015 Appeal indicating that they believe CDM’s legal interpretation of its declared tax structure is indeed accurate. While favorable on this central matter of CDM’s declared tax structure, the ruling, however, still does not recognize the taxpayers right to a full refund for the IVA related to the months of July, August and September 2015. Therefore, in October 2018, CDM filed a substance-over-form Annulment Suit in the Federal Tax Court to recover its full refund for IVA over the subject period, which is currently pending resolution.

In April 2022, the Tax Court issued the ruling for the months of July, August and September 2015 through which it was declared that the following resolutions were resolved:

●

It is recognized that CDM operates as a maquila under the authorization of the Ministry of Finance.

●

It is recognized that all bank deposits corresponding to the purchase of avocados on behalf of Calavo Growers Inc. (CGI), are subject to the maquila program and it is not accruable income for purposes of Income Tax nor activities subject to VAT.

●

It is recognized that VAT is recoverable, since CDM demonstrated the existence of operations carried under the maquila services.

●

Resolved that certain VAT amounts attributed to the purchase of certain packing materials are not recoverable as CDM was not the buyer on record and therefore did not pay for the materials, which approximated $6.9 million pesos (approximately $0.3 million USD).

On May 9, 2022, the Company filed an appeal against the ruling which resolved that certain VAT amounts are not recoverable.

While the latest court resolution sustains the Company’s position that it is entitled to substantially all of its VAT amounts, the Company is also considering its options for resolution of the VAT receivable. In the unlikely event of an unfavorable resolution of the Administrative Appeals, we plan to file Annulment Suits with the Mexican Federal Tax Court. If these suits result in an unfavorable ruling, there is an option to appeal to the Collegiate Circuit Court. The estimated time for the resolution of these suits could be 2 – 3 years.

We believe that our operations in Mexico are properly documented, and our internationally recognized tax advisors believe that there are legal grounds to prevail in collecting the corresponding IVA amounts. With assistance from our internationally recognized tax advisory firm, as of April 30, 2022, CDM has filed Administrative Appeals for months for which IVA refunds have been denied by the SAT, and will continue filing such appeals for any months for which refunds are denied in the future. Therefore, it is probable that the Mexican tax authorities will ultimately authorize the refund of the corresponding IVA amounts.

12. Credit Facility

On December 1, 2021, we entered into the Fourth and Fifth Amendments to the Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (“Bank of America”), and Farm Credit West, PCA (together with Bank of America, the “Lenders”), relating to our Credit Agreement dated as of June 14, 2016, The Fourth and Fifth Amendments, among other terms, included CDM as a guarantor, increased the interest rate by 0.5% and amended the financial covenant requirements as follows:

●

The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (FCCR) covenant was waived for the quarters ended October 31, 2021, January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022. The covenant will resume for the quarter ended July 31, 2022.

●

The quarterly FCCR covenant was replaced by a cumulative monthly minimum Consolidated EBITDA covenant, with the first measurement occurring as of January 31, 2022 for the three months then ended, and continuing monthly thereafter through June 2022.

●

Consolidated financial statements must be submitted monthly for the month and year-to-date period, beginning with the financial statements for the month of November 2021 and continuing through June 2022.

The Company also pledged the 1,677,000 shares it holds of Limoneira stock as collateral (which was in addition to the general business assets of the Company that already secure the credit facility).

The above terms and conditions will remain in effect until such time as the Company has certified compliance with a 1.15 to 1.0 minimum FCCR for two consecutive fiscal quarters.

As of January 31, 2022, the Company was not in compliance with the cumulative monthly minimum Consolidated EBITDA covenant, and the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (CLR) covenant. In March 2022, the Company and the Lenders entered into the Sixth Amendment, Limited Waiver, and Limited Consent to Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”). The Sixth Amendment, among other terms, waived the non-compliance of the financial covenants as of January 31, 2022 and amended the financial covenant requirements as follows:

●

The cumulative monthly minimum Consolidated EBITDA testing has been waived and the CLR covenant testing is waived through July 31, 2022.

●

Minimum Consolidated EBITDA of $3 million, $3 million and $5 million for the months of February, March and April 2022 will be required.

●

Monthly cumulative FCCR of 1.20 starting with the quarter ended April 30, 2022, converting to trailing 12 months calculation starting as of October 31, 2022 and quarterly thereafter. For April through September 2022, dividends paid in December 2021 are included on a pro-rata basis.

The interest rate of the facility increased to BSBY plus 3.0%, until the first business day of the month after we certify that no default or event of default exists for the period ended July 31, 2022, at which point the interest rate will range between BSBY plus 1.25 – 1.75% based on our CLR. The total facility reduced from $100 million to $80 million and will be limited to a borrowing base consisting of the sum of eligible accounts receivable (80%), eligible US inventory (50%), and Limoneira shares (60%), less grower payables.

As of April 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the financial covenants, and we expect to remain in compliance through June 2023. As of April 30, 2022, approximately $5.6 million was available for borrowing, based on our borrowing base calculation, as discussed above.

COVID-19 Pandemic Impact

COVID-19 Pandemic Impact

13. COVID-19 Pandemic Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has created challenging and unprecedented conditions for our business, and we are committed to taking action in support of a Company-wide response to the crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, changed certain purchasing norms in retail and foodservice channels and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. This has resulted in inflationary and cost pressures that have significantly increased, and continue to adversely impact, our production and distribution costs, including costs of raw materials, packaging, labor, and freight. We are also experiencing pressure in our supply chain due to strained transportation capacity and lack of sufficient labor availability. We believe, however, that we are well-positioned for the future as we continue to navigate the crisis and have successfully implemented contingency plans in the U.S. and in Mexico to monitor the evolving needs of our businesses, as well as those related to our Peru partner in consignment avocado sales.

The effects of the pandemic have been more pronounced in the portions of our business servicing foodservice customers and to a lesser extent certain segments of our retail business, including behind-the-glass deli and grab-and-go convenience items.

While many of such restrictions have since been lifted, the pace of the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic is not presently known. Additionally, we cannot forecast future variants or the impact on our business of such variants, if any. We cannot reasonably estimate the duration or extent of the pandemic’s adverse impact on our business, operating results, and long-term liquidity position.

14. Closure of RFG Florida facility

On November 15, 2021, the Green Cove facility of RFG has ceased operations. The Company’s Fresh avocado operations at this facility will continue in operation and are not affected. RFG will continue to serve customers of this location from its other food processing locations, primarily in Georgia.

The closure resulted in a reduction of 140 employees, impairment of leasehold improvements, writedowns of inventory and other assets, and certain cash expenditures for the relocation of machinery and equipment and the closure of the leased facilities. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, we wrote down $8.7 million of leasehold improvements, $0.1 million of equipment, and $0.6 million of inventory (recognized through cost of goods sold). We also paid $0.4 million in employee severance. The impairment related to the RFG Florida closure has been recorded on the face of the income statement under “Impairment and charges related to RFG Florida facility closure”.

As of April 30, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the Company had right of use assets with a net book value of $4.2 million and $4.8 million respectively, and lease liabilities of $5.4 million and $6.0 million, respectively, recorded on the balance sheet related to the closed facility. The facility lease has a maturity date of October 31, 2031. The Company intends to seek a sub-lease tenant to assume the vacated space, and believes such a sub-lease can be obtained at a lease rate, and for a lease period, sufficient to realize the right of use asset. Management will continue to evaluate the actual amounts and duration of expected future sub-lease revenues. Should the actual sub-lease revenues be less than those currently expected, the Company may need to record impairment of some or all of its investment in the right of use asset.

During the three and six months ended April 30, 2022, we incurred $0.3 million and $1.0 million of incremental restructuring and related costs due to the transition to other facilities.
