Description of the business
Business	Business Calavo Growers, Inc. (“Calavo,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a global leader in sourcing, packing and distribution of fresh avocados, tomatoes, papayas and processing of guacamole and other avocado products. Drawing on decades of expertise with fresh and prepared produce, we deliver a broad portfolio of products to retail grocers, club and mass-merchandise stores, foodservice operators, and wholesalers worldwide. We procure avocados from California, Mexico, and other key growing regions. Across our operating facilities, we (i) sort, pack, ripen, and ship avocados, tomatoes, and Hawaiian-grown papayas and (ii) process and package fresh and frozen guacamole. Our products are distributed both domestically and internationally. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we renamed our “Grown” reportable segment to “Fresh” to better reflect its activities; the change did not affect the segment’s composition, financial results, or internal performance metrics. We report results under two segments: Fresh and Prepared.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “interim 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 (“SEC”). 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 interim 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, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which expands interim and annual requirements to include disclosure about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with either retrospective or prospective application. The ASU allows for early adoption of these requirements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that this ASU will have on its financial statement disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. This ASU amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 to enhance the nature of disclosures for income taxes. Specifically, the ASU requires public business entities to disclose additional information in categories defined within the ASU within the reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state and foreign income taxes. Additionally, the ASU requires disclosure of taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes. ASU 2023-09 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that this ASU will have on its financial statement disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that this ASU will have on its financial statement disclosures.
