Total Produce has confirmed that trading for the first quarter -ending March 31- has been strong with revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share ahead of the same time last year. Total Produce said it continues to target full year adjusted earnings in line with market expectations.
According to the firm, its strong presence in the global fresh produce industry, the diversity of its operations and products together with the exceptional response from all of its people, continues to enable the company to meet the ongoing, Covid-19 related challenges.
In February, Total Produce announced a deal to combine with the Dole Food Company and to move its listings from Dublin and London to the US. The combined company, operating under the Dole brand, will be incorporated in Ireland, with its global headquarters in Dublin and the headquarters for the Americas in Charlotte, North Carolina.
According to rte.ie, Total Produce said today that Dole has made a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to get its shares listed there.
