NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Dole Food Company, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Dole” or the “Company”) include all adjustments necessary, which are of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly Dole’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Dole operates under a 52/53-week year. The quarters ended June 15, 2013 and June 16, 2012 were twelve weeks in duration. For a summary of significant accounting policies and additional information relating to Dole’s financial statements, refer to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Dole’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012.

Interim results are subject to seasonal variations and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year. Dole’s operations are sensitive to a number of factors including weather-related phenomena and their effects on industry volumes, prices, product quality and costs. Operations are also sensitive to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in both sourcing and selling locations as well as economic crises and security risks.

In March 2003, Dole completed a going-private merger transaction. As a result of the transaction, Dole became wholly-owned by David H. Murdock (“DHM”), Dole’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In October 2009, Dole completed a $446 million initial public offering of its common stock and received proceeds of $415 million. At June 15, 2013, Mr. Murdock and his affiliates beneficially owned 35,568,585, or approximately 40%, of Dole’s outstanding common shares.

NOTE 2—SALE OF PACKAGED FOODS AND ASIA FRESH PRODUCE BUSINESS

On April 1, 2013, Dole completed the sale of its worldwide packaged foods and Asia fresh produce businesses (collectively, “Dole Asia”) for $1.685 billion in cash, subject to certain adjustments (“sale transaction”) to ITOCHU Corporation (“ITOCHU”). The operations of Dole Asia consist of Dole’s Packaged Foods reportable operating segment, and Dole’s Asia fresh produce business, which is a component of Dole’s Fresh Fruit reportable operating segment (“Asia Fresh”). The proceeds from the sale transaction and proceeds from new borrowings were used to pay off Dole’s previous indebtedness of approximately $1.7 billion, including the settlement in full of capital lease obligations of approximately $50 million related to two vessels. On February 22, 2013, ITOCHU paid Dole a non-refundable cash deposit of $200 million that was applied towards the purchase price. Dole used the $200 million in cash to repay revolver borrowings, pay certain transaction related expenses, and for general corporate purposes.

The pre-tax gain on the sale of Dole Asia was $241.4 million. This gain will use substantially all of Dole’s federal tax net operating loss carryforwards, and result in the payment of cash taxes of approximately $40 million. The sales price of $1.685 billion has been adjusted by $5 million, which reflects certain purchase price adjustments related to additional cash received as a result of ITOCHU not assuming certain liabilities. The sales price and the gain on the sale of Dole Asia, based on the historical book balances of Dole Asia, are as follows:

The gain on the disposal of Dole Asia has been reduced by direct transaction costs of $18.2 million. In addition, during the first half of 2013, Dole recorded expenses of $19.7 million which have been included in ITOCHU transaction related costs in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Approximately $16 million of these costs were for compensation related arrangements not attributable to Dole Asia employees, and as such, these costs have been included in continuing operations. Of the $16 million, $13.5 million was related to payments to certain key executives under the change of control agreement. The remaining $3.7 million were for other indirect transaction related expenses.

NOTE 3—NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2013, the FASB issued a standard which requires the release of a company’s cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is effective for Dole beginning in the first quarter of 2014. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have an impact on Dole’s results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 5—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the fourth quarter of 2012, Dole concluded that Dole Asia met the requirements to be presented as assets and liabilities held-for-sale and discontinued operations. Accordingly, the results of operations for Asia Fresh and Packaged Foods have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Included in discontinued operations are interest expense and debt-related costs associated with Dole’s debentures, secured notes, revolving credit facility and its term loans that were outstanding through the close of the date of the sale transaction for all historical periods presented. The interest expense and related costs associated with these debt instruments have been reclassified to discontinued operations because these instruments were repaid upon consummation of the sale of Dole Asia, as required by their terms. In addition, for all historical periods presented, had the sale of Dole Asia been previously consummated, the terms of the then outstanding debentures, secured notes, revolving credit facility and the term loans would have required that they be repaid in their entirety. These costs have been included in the “Financing Related Items” column in the table, below.

During 2006 Dole entered into an interest rate swap to synthetically convert $320 million of its term loans into yen denominated debt (“cross currency swap”). The cross currency swap did not qualify for hedge accounting and was marked to market each accounting period. In addition, during 2006, Dole also entered into an interest rate swap to synthetically convert $320 million of variable-rate term loans into fixed-rate debt. During 2011 Dole refinanced its liability under the cross currency swap by entering into long-term Japanese yen hedges, and obtained hedge accounting for these hedges. Due to the fact that the cross currency swap and the interest rate swap were linked to the term loans of Dole, all of the income statement activity associated with these instruments has been presented within discontinued operations for all periods presented. In addition, since the long-term Japanese yen hedges were designated to hedge Dole’s yen-denominated revenue stream generated from the Dole Asia business, the income statement activity associated with the long-term Japanese yen hedges has been presented within discontinued operations for all periods presented. On March 8, 2013, Dole entered into an agreement to settle the long-term Japanese yen hedges for $25.1 million, which was settled on March 27, 2013. All amounts associated with these instruments have been presented in the “Financing Related Items” column in the table, below.

In connection with the sale transaction, Dole entered into several contractual agreements with ITOCHU to facilitate the sale that will result in an exchange of cash over the term of these agreements. These agreements primarily consist of a supply agreement, a ship usage agreement, a transition services agreement and an occupancy agreement.

 

11


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

The initial term of the supply agreement runs through December 31, 2015, except for certain items with a 5 year term, and can be renewed indefinitely with the agreement of both parties. The term of the ship usage agreement is for 12 months from the closing date of the sale and renews automatically for additional 12 month terms until Dole Asia elects not to renew; the maximum term under the transition services agreement is for 12 months from the closing date of the sale; and the maximum term for the occupancy agreement is 2.5 years.

To date, Dole sold and acquired $13.6 million and $0.9 million of inventory and operating supplies under the supply agreement, respectively. The net amount of the cash to be received, net of costs to be incurred under the ship usage agreement, the transition services agreement and the occupancy agreement will not be material.

The cash inflows and outflows from these contractual arrangements represent a continuation of cash inflows and outflows between Dole and Dole Asia. Dole has evaluated the significance of the cash inflows and outflows and determined that they are not significant. In addition, Dole evaluated whether the contractual arrangements with ITOCHU provide the ability to exert significant influence over Dole Asia’s operating and financial policies and has concluded that the contractual arrangements are not significant to the overall operations of Dole Asia and do not give Dole the ability to exert significant influence over Dole Asia’s operating and financial policies.

During the second quarter of 2008, Dole approved and committed to a formal plan to divest the fresh-cut flowers business. During the first quarter of 2009, the operations and the majority of the related assets of this business were sold.

The operating results of Dole Asia and fresh-cut flowers are reported in the following table:

NOTE 6—CHARGES FOR RESTRUCTURING

As a result of challenging market conditions in Dole’s fresh fruit operations, Dole committed to a restructuring plan during the third quarter of 2010 in its fresh fruit segment in Europe, Latin America and Asia (“2010 plan”). These restructuring efforts were designed to reduce costs by realigning fruit supply with expected demand. As part of these initiatives, Dole restructured certain farming operations in Latin America and Asia, reorganized its European operations and rationalized vessel charters. The 2010 plan was completed during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Since the inception of the 2010 plan, Dole incurred a total of $42.3 million in costs, with $31.2 million of these costs reflected in continuing operations and the remainder reflected in discontinued operations. During the half year ended June 16, 2012, total charges incurred under this plan were $0.7 million, with $0.8 million of these costs reflected in continuing operations and ($0.1) million reflected in discontinued operations. During the second quarter of 2012, total charges incurred under this plan were $0.5 million, with $0.6 million of these reflected in continuing operations and ($0.1) million reflected in discontinued operations. There were no costs incurred during 2013 under this plan and the remaining unpaid restructuring liabilities under this plan were not material as of June 15, 2013.

During the third quarter of 2011, Dole committed to further restructure its fresh fruit operations in Europe and Latin America, as well as its fresh vegetables operations in Asia (“2011 plan”). As part of this plan, Dole consolidated certain operations in Europe to reduce overhead, restructured farming operations in Latin America and further rationalized vessel charters. In addition, Dole ended certain unprofitable contractual arrangements in Asia. The 2011 plan was completed during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Since the inception of the 2011 plan, Dole incurred a total of $13.3 million in costs, with $9.4 million of these costs reflected in continuing operations and $3.9 million of these costs reflected in discontinued operations. During the half year ended June 16, 2012, total charges incurred under this plan were $1.6 million, which have been included in continuing operations. During the quarter ended June 16, 2012, total charges incurred under this plan were $0.4 million, which have been included in continuing operations. There were no costs incurred during 2013 under this plan and the remaining unpaid restructuring liabilities under this plan were not material as of June 15, 2013.

During the second quarter of 2013, Dole committed to further restructure its fresh fruit operations in Latin America to realign its workforce. This resulted in pension-related settlement charges of approximately $4 million which have been reflected as an increase in pension obligation.

NOTE 7—LONG-TERM RECEIVABLES

At June 15, 2013, Dole’s long-term financing receivables consisted of $2.4 million of grower advances, net of allowances, a $7 million note receivable related to the sale of a discontinued operation, $16 million of notes receivable related to the sale of a German subsidiary, and net long-term trade receivables of $2.3 million. These assets have been included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 15, 2013.

Dole monitors the collectability of these advances through periodic review of financial information received from these growers. At June 15, 2013, these advances included in other assets had an allowance for credit losses of $3.3 million. Dole’s historical losses on its long-term grower advances related to continuing operations have been immaterial and Dole expects this to continue.

At June 15, 2013, Dole had a $7 million note receivable relating to the fiscal 2009 sale of the fresh-cut flowers business. This receivable is secured by properties that have an estimated fair value in excess of the note, which was due in January 2011. The Colombian companies that have granted mortgages in such properties to secure their guaranties of such note are currently under reorganization pursuant to Colombian Law 1116. Dole believes that the note will be collected, based on its position in the reorganization.

At June 15, 2013, Dole had notes receivable of $16 million (€12 million) denominated in euros related to the sale of a German subsidiary in the first quarter of 2012. The notes mature on various dates through March 2022. During the first half of 2013, Dole received cash proceeds of $5.2 million (€4 million). Of the remaining notes receivable, approximately $14.7 million were recorded as long-term notes receivable. These notes receivable have annual minimum payment requirements based on the financial performance of the business and are collateralized by the business.

Dole has gross long-term trade receivables of $19.1 million due from a customer in Eastern Europe, for which it is not likely that payment will be received during the next year. During the second quarter of 2012, Dole recorded provisions for bad debt of $1 million which is included in charges for restructuring and long-term receivables, bringing the total allowance for this bad debt to $16.8 million. The net receivable of $2.3 million represents management’s best estimate of its net realizable value after consideration of collateral securing the receivable.

NOTE 8—INCOME TAXES

Dole recorded an income tax benefit of $2.6 million on a $0.2 million pretax loss from continuing operations for the half year ended June 15, 2013. The income tax benefit included interest expense of $0.1 million related to Dole’s unrecognized tax benefits. Income tax expense of $5.8 million on $84 million of pretax income from continuing operations was recorded for the first half year ended June 16, 2012, which included an interest benefit of $3.2 million related to Dole’s unrecognized tax benefits. Dole’s effective tax rate varies significantly from period to period due to the level, mix and seasonality of earnings generated in its various U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. For the half year ended June 15, 2013, Dole’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily as a result of losses generated in the U.S. that were benefitted at statutory

Table of Contents

rates higher than the statutory rates used to determine tax on income earned outside of the U.S. For the half year ended June 16, 2012, Dole’s effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate applied to Dole’s pre-tax income primarily due to a decrease in Dole’s total amount of unrecognized tax benefits of $17 million as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations concerning certain transfer pricing items. Including interest, net of tax benefits, the total amount recorded for this item was $18.7 million, which was partially offset by an increase in Dole’s U.S. federal valuation allowance.

Dole is required to adjust its effective tax rate for each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. Jurisdictions with a projected loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the calculation of the estimated annual effective tax rate. This could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections.

Dole recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to its unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income taxes in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest and penalties before tax benefits were $4.5 million and $7.4 million at June 15, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, and are included as a component of other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The decrease in accrued interest and penalties of $2.9 million for the half year ended June 15, 2013 is due to payments made totaling $3.0 million primarily relating to non-U.S. audit settlements. At this time, Dole believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease later in 2013 by cash payments of approximately $17 million relating to non-U.S. audit settlements. Cash payments of $6.7 million, including interest, were made in the first half of 2013 primarily relating to audit settlements in Ecuador.

Dole or one or more of its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, Dole is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2006.

Income Tax Audits: Dole believes its tax positions comply with the applicable tax laws and that it has adequately provided for all material tax related matters. Matters raised upon audit may involve substantial amounts and could result in material cash payments if resolved unfavorably. Management considers it unlikely that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on Dole’s results of operations.

Internal Revenue Service Audit: On September 4, 2012, the IRS completed its examination of Dole’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2006-2008 and issued a Revenue Agent’s report (“RAR”) that includes various proposed adjustments, including with respect to whether certain transactions with foreign affiliates or certain third party borrowings by Dole or its foreign affiliates created or are deemed to have created investments in U.S. property. The net tax deficiency associated with the RAR is $132 million, after net operating loss utilization, plus interest. On November 9, 2012, Dole filed a protest letter challenging the proposed adjustments contained in the RAR and will pursue resolution of these issues with the Appeals Division of the IRS. Dole believes, based in part upon the advice of its tax advisors, that its tax treatment of such transactions was appropriate. Although the timing and ultimate resolution of any issues arising from the IRS examination are highly uncertain, at this time Dole does not anticipate that the total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next twelve months nor does Dole believe that any material tax payments will be made related to these matters within the next twelve months.

Asia Fresh and Packaged Foods—Discontinued Operations

Dole Asia met the requirements to be presented as assets and liabilities held-for-sale during the fourth quarter of 2012. As a result, as of December 29, 2012, $72.6 million of goodwill was allocated to Asia Fresh and the entire goodwill balance associated with Packaged Foods was reclassified to assets held-for-sale. The Asia Fresh portion of the Fresh Fruit goodwill that was allocated to Dole Asia was based upon the relative estimated fair value of the Asia Fresh business as compared to the estimated fair value of the Fresh Fruit reporting unit. Subsequent to December 29, 2012 when the initial allocation was determined, the relative fair value of the Fresh Fruit reporting unit decreased as compared to the estimated fair value of the Asia Fresh business, resulting in a $13.9 million increase in the goodwill allocated to Dole Asia.

Under the terms of the Trademark Rights Agreement entered into as part of the sale transaction: Dole granted ITOCHU exclusive licenses to use certain Dole trademarks, trade names and trade dress rights with certain fresh produce in Asia, Australia and New Zealand and with certain packaged products worldwide, including certain exclusive rights to the DOLE® brand; Dole has granted ITOCHU non-exclusive licenses to use certain Dole trademarks, trade names and trade dress rights with certain fresh produce that will be sold by ITOCHU in certain countries outside of Asia, Australia and New Zealand and with certain packaged products that were not part of the sale transaction, subject to limited exceptions; and ITOCHU has granted Dole non-exclusive licenses to use certain trademarks, trade names and trade dress rights acquired by ITOCHU in the

Trademark Rights Agreement with certain fresh produce and packaged products that currently are distributed by businesses retained by Dole. All of the licenses granted under the Trademark Rights Agreement are perpetual, irrevocable and royalty free.

As a result of the foregoing, as of December 29, 2012, $460 million of Dole’s trademark and trade names were reclassified to assets held-for-sale. The allocation was determined based upon the estimated portion of the trademark and trade name value that will be used by Dole Asia relative to the total Trademark and trade name value. The amount of the Dole trademark and trade names allocated to Dole Asia and included in assets held-for-sale remained unchanged since December 29, 2012 through the consummation of the sale transaction.

As a result of the sale transaction, the goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets included in assets held-for-sale related to Dole Asia were included in the net assets of Dole Asia, which were eliminated in connection with the consummation of the sale transaction.

The allocation percentages used to allocate goodwill and the trade names have been based on certain estimates and are sensitive to certain assumptions such as royalty rates, estimated cost of capital, revenue and other projections, and expected tax rates.

Fresh Fruit

Dole had a notes receivable balance of $16.0 million (€12 million) at June 15, 2013 denominated in euros related to the first quarter 2012 sale of a German subsidiary. The notes mature on various dates through March 2022. Dole has a corresponding deferred gain of $16.0 million (€12 million), which will be recognized as the notes receivable are collected. During the first half of 2013, Dole received cash proceeds of $5.2 million (€4.0 million) and recorded a corresponding gain which has been included in gain on sale of assets.

During the first quarter of 2013, Dole reclassified Hawaii and Honduras land with net book values of $12.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, from assets held-for-sale to actively marketed property. Dole expects to sell these assets in the future but it is uncertain if any sales will be completed during the next twelve months.

Fresh-Cut Flowers—Discontinued Operation

During the first quarter of 2013, Dole reclassified its assets held-for-sale with a net book value of $3.2 million associated with the fresh-cut flowers—discontinued operations to actively marketed property.

Actively Marketed Property

Included in actively marketed property are land and property that do not meet Dole’s future strategic direction or internal economic return criteria. The assets that have been identified are available for sale in their present condition and an active program is underway to sell the properties. Dole is actively marketing these properties at a price that is in excess of book value but the timing of sale is uncertain.

Of these additions, 2,050 acres of land with a net book value of $12.5 million were reclassified from assets held-for-sale and the remaining 4,250 acres of land with a net book value of $60.4 million were reclassified from property, plant and equipment. At June 15, 2013, actively marketed property consisted of approximately 20,500 acres of Hawaii land in the fresh fruit segment, with a net book value of $147.7 million. In addition, during the first quarter, Dole reclassified $0.2 million of land in Honduras in the Fresh Fruit segment to actively marketed property.

Assets with a net book value of $3.2 million associated with the real estate of the former fresh-cut flowers division were reclassified from assets held-for-sale during the first quarter of 2013.

As a result of reflecting Dole Asia’s operations as discontinued operations, all interest expense and debt related costs associated with Dole’s notes and debentures, term loans and revolving credit facilities and interest rate swap that were outstanding through the close of the sale transaction have been reclassified into discontinued operations for all periods presented. Refer to Note 5—Discontinued Operations for additional information. In connection with the close of the sale transaction, Dole used the net proceeds, along with new borrowings, discussed below, to extinguish the liabilities outstanding under Dole’s then-existing term loan and revolving credit facilities, 8.75% debentures due 2013, 13.875% notes due 2014, and 8% notes due 2016.

Notes and Debentures

On April 1, 2013, Dole repurchased and retired $174.9 million and $315 million of its 13.875% notes due 2014 and 8% notes due 2016, respectively, and legally defeased $155 million of its 8.75% debentures due 2013.

As a result of the repurchases and defeasance, Dole recorded expense of approximately $44.3 million in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations related to premiums paid in connection with the early retirement of debt and as a result of the write-off of previously recorded discounts and debt issuance costs.

Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facilities

On April 1, 2013, Dole entered into a new secured revolving credit agreement with five financial institutions (“April Credit Agreement”), which replaced Dole’s then-existing senior secured revolving credit and term loan facilities. Upon executing the April Credit Agreement, Dole repaid approximately $93.6 million and

 

21


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

$863.3 million of outstanding borrowings under then-existing senior secured revolving credit and term loan facilities, respectively. In connection with this refinancing, Dole also recorded expense of approximately $25.0 million, related to the write-off of related debt discounts and issuance costs, which has been included in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On May 2, 2013, following the syndication of the loans under the April Credit Agreement, Dole entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (“Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), which replaced the April Credit Agreement. In connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, Dole recorded expense of approximately $10.7 million related to the write-off of previously recorded discounts and certain debt issuance costs, which is included in other income (expense), net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, under which Dole and its wholly-owned subsidiary Solvest, Ltd. are borrowers, provides for a revolving credit facility of $180 million (“revolving credit facility”), divided between U.S. and non-U.S. borrowings; a portion of the revolving credit facility may, at Dole’s discretion, be used to provide letters of credit. The interest rate on amounts drawn under the revolving credit facility is, at Dole’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus 2.50% to 2.75%, with no LIBOR floor, or (ii) a base rate plus 1.50% to 1.75%, in each case, based upon Dole’s consolidated leverage ratio, but beginning at the upper number in the range. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides for a term loan of $675 million in the U.S. (“Term Loans”), in which the annual interest rate on the Term Loans is determined at Dole’s option to be either (i) LIBOR plus 2.75%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00% or (ii) a base rate plus 1.75%. Principal payments of $1.69 million and interest payments are due quarterly beginning in June 2013 through April 2020, at which time the remaining principal of $627.8 million plus accrued interest is to be paid. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also allows Dole to request certain future incremental loans. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, restrictions and default terms. The U.S. loans are secured by substantially all the U.S. assets of Dole and its domestic subsidiaries; the non-U.S. borrowings are secured by the same U.S. assets and by certain assets of Dole’s Bermuda subsidiaries. The revolving credit facility matures in five years and the Term Loans mature in seven years.

After taking into account approximately $18 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, Dole had approximately $162 million of availability under its revolving credit facility as of June 15, 2013.

Capital Lease Obligations

On April 18, 2013, Dole paid approximately $60.4 million of cash in connection with the settlement of its capital lease obligations related to two vessels. The difference between the capital lease obligation of $50 million and the settlement value has been capitalized and included in property, plant and equipment in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Dole’s remaining capital lease obligations of $0.9 million, as of June 15, 2013, primarily relate to machinery and equipment.

Notes Payable

Dole borrows funds primarily on a short-term basis to finance current operations. The terms of these borrowings range from one month to six months. Dole’s notes payable at June 15, 2013 consisted primarily of borrowings in Latin America.

Covenants

Provisions under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement require Dole to comply with certain covenants. These covenants include limitations on, among other things, indebtedness, investments, liens, loans to subsidiaries, employees and third parties, the issuance of guarantees and the payment of dividends. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also requires Dole to comply with a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio and a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio. At June 15, 2013, Dole was in compliance with the covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

A breach of a covenant or other provision in any debt instrument governing Dole’s current or future indebtedness could result in a default under that instrument and, due to customary cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions, could result in a default under Dole’s other debt instruments. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or other debt instrument, the lenders or holders of such debt could elect to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If Dole were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them, if any, to secure the indebtedness. If the lenders under Dole’s indebtedness were to accelerate the payment of the indebtedness, Dole cannot give assurance that its assets would be sufficiently liquid to repay in full its outstanding indebtedness on an accelerated basis.

Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discounts

During the quarter and half year ended June 15, 2013, Dole recorded amortization expense of $0.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively. During the quarter and half year ended June 16, 2012, Dole recorded amortization expense of $2.5 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

Dole sponsors a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (Excess Savings Plan or “ESP”) and a non-qualified pension plan (Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan or “SERP”) for executives, both of which are unfunded. Under the provisions of these two Rabbi trust plans, Dole is obligated to contribute to the trusts within 30 days after a change of control event to ensure the assets of the trusts are sufficient to meet the ESP obligation and the present value of the projected benefit obligation of SERP as of the change of control date. The assets held in the Rabbi trusts are subjected to the claims of Dole’s general unsecured creditors. As a result of the sale of Dole Asia, which is a change of control event under the provisions of the ESP and SERP, Dole contributed approximately $47 million to Rabbi trusts, of which $16.2 million is included in restricted cash, and $31 million is included in other assets, net, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 14—SEGMENT INFORMATION

Due to the reporting of the packaged foods reportable operating segment as discontinued operations, Dole has two reportable operating segments from continuing operations: fresh fruit and fresh vegetables. These reportable segments are managed separately due to differences in geography, products, production processes, distribution channels and customer bases.

The fresh fruit reportable operating segment (“fresh fruit”) primarily sells bananas, pineapple and deciduous fruit, which are sourced from local growers or Dole-owned or leased farms located in Latin America, with significant selling locations in North America and Western Europe. Dole Asia’s fresh produce business formerly was included in the fresh fruit reportable operating segment, but is reported as discontinued operations as a result of the sale transaction.

The fresh vegetables reportable operating segment (“fresh vegetables”) sells packaged salads and has a line of fresh-packed products that includes iceberg and romaine lettuce, celery and fresh berries, including strawberries and blueberries. Substantially all of the sales for fresh vegetables are generated in North America.

Dole’s management evaluates and monitors segment performance primarily through earnings before interest expense and income taxes before discontinued operations (“EBIT”). EBIT is calculated by adding interest expense and income taxes to income (loss) from continuing operations, net of income taxes. Management believes that segment EBIT provides useful information for analyzing the underlying business results as well as allowing investors a means to evaluate the financial results of each segment in relation to Dole as a whole. EBIT is not defined under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as a measure of Dole’s profitability. Additionally, Dole’s computation of EBIT may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies because not all companies calculate EBIT in the same manner.

Revenues from continuing operations were as follows:

NOTE 15—DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Dole is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, bunker fuel price fluctuations and interest rate changes in the normal course of its business. As part of its risk management strategy, Dole uses derivative instruments to hedge some of these exposures. Dole’s objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from these exposures with losses and gains on the derivative contracts used to hedge them, thereby reducing volatility of earnings. Dole does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges

Dole designated certain foreign currency exchange forward contracts and participating forward contracts as cash flow hedges of its forecasted revenue and operating expense transactions. As a result, changes in fair value of the foreign currency derivative instruments since hedge designation, to the extent the hedges are deemed effective, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and are reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the underlying transactions affect earnings. Changes in the fair value of any portion of a cash flow hedge deemed ineffective is recognized into current period earnings.

Long-term Japanese Yen Hedges

During the first quarter of 2011, Dole entered into a transaction to effectively unwind the cross currency swap by refinancing its obligation under the cross currency swap and entering into a series of long-term Japanese yen hedges that mature through December 2014. As a result of the unwind of the cross currency swap, the collateral arrangement with the counterparties was no longer required. The long-term Japanese yen hedges, which were fully settled on March 27, 2013 and are no longer outstanding, required Dole to buy U.S. dollars and sell Japanese yen at an exchange rate of ¥101.3. At inception, these contracts were in a liability position and the total notional amount outstanding of the long-term Japanese yen hedges was $596.3 million. The value of these contracts fluctuated based on changes in the exchange rate over the life of the individual forward contracts.

At inception, Dole designated the long-term Japanese yen forward contracts as cash flow hedges of its forecasted Japanese yen revenue stream. Due to the fact that there was a significant financing element present at the inception of the long-term Japanese yen hedges, the cash inflows or outflows associated with settlement of these contracts has been included within the financing activities in Dole’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. A portion of the long-term Japanese yen hedges were deemed ineffective. With respect to this portion, changes in the fair value of the hedges were recorded directly to income because the ineffectiveness was considered to be caused by the financing element of this instrument. As a result of the reclassification of Dole Asia’s results of operations into discontinued operations, amounts recorded to other income (expense), net for the long-term Japanese yen hedges for all periods have been presented in discontinued operations.

As a result of Dole executing a definitive agreement with ITOCHU on September 17, 2012 to sell Dole Asia, it was no longer considered to be probable that the forecasted Japanese yen revenue streams in 2013 and 2014 would occur. Accordingly, Dole de-designated these contracts as cash flow hedges on that date. Changes in the fair value of these hedges subsequent to September 17, 2012, were recorded to other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations. During the fourth quarter of 2012, management determined that it was no longer reasonably possible that the forecasted Japanese yen revenue streams would occur; the amounts remaining in AOCI for the long-term Japanese yen forward contracts were reclassified to discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 16—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

At June 15, 2013, Dole’s financial instruments primarily consisted of short-term trade and grower receivables, trade payables, notes receivable and notes payable, as well as long-term grower receivables, derivatives, term loans, a revolving credit facility, and notes. For short-term instruments, the carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. For long-term financial instruments, excluding Dole’s secured and unsecured notes and debentures, and term loans, that now have been repaid, defeased or discharged, the carrying amount approximates fair value since they bear interest at variable rates or fixed rates that approximate market.

The inputs used to measure fair value are based on a hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used in valuation techniques. These levels, in order of highest to lowest priority are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The following table provides a summary of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

For Dole, the assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are the derivative instruments. The fair values of Dole’s derivative instruments are determined using Level 2 inputs, which are defined as “significant other observable inputs.” The fair values of the foreign currency exchange contracts and bunker fuel contracts were estimated using internal discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward foreign currency exchange rates, bunker fuel futures, interest-rate yield curves or quotes obtained from brokers for contracts with similar terms, less any credit valuation adjustments. Dole recorded a credit valuation adjustment at June 15, 2013, which reduced the derivative liability balances. The credit valuation adjustment was not material at June 15, 2013 and December 29, 2012.

Credit Risk

The counterparties to the foreign currency and bunker fuel forward contracts consist of a number of major international financial institutions. Dole has established counterparty guidelines and regularly monitors its positions and the financial strength of these institutions. While counterparties to hedging contracts expose Dole to credit-related losses in the event of a counterparty’s non-performance, the risk would be limited to the unrealized gains on such affected contracts. Dole does not anticipate any such losses.

NOTE 17—CONTINGENCIES

Dole issues letters of credit and bank guarantees through its revolver and, in addition, separately through major banking institutions. Dole also provides bonds issued by insurance companies. These letters of credit, bank guarantees and insurance company bonds are required by certain regulatory authorities, suppliers and other operating agreements. As of June 15, 2013, total letters of credit, bank guarantees and bonds outstanding under these arrangements were $103.6 million.

Dole also provides various guarantees, mostly to foreign banks, in the course of its normal business operations to support the borrowings, leases and other obligations of its subsidiaries. Dole guaranteed $101.1 million of its subsidiaries’ obligations to their suppliers and other third parties as of June 15, 2013.

Dole has change of control agreements with certain key executives, under which severance payments and benefits would become payable in the event of specified terminations of employment in connection with a change of control (as defined) of Dole. The consummation of the sale transaction is considered a change of control under the change of control agreements. During the first half of 2013, Dole recorded an additional $13.5 million of expense, bringing the total expense for the change of control arrangements to $37.9 million as of June 15, 2013. Of the total expense, $7 million remained unpaid.

Dole is involved from time to time in claims and legal actions incidental to its operations, both as plaintiff and defendant. Dole has established what management currently believes to be adequate reserves for pending legal matters. These reserves are established as part of an ongoing worldwide assessment of claims and legal actions that takes into consideration such items as changes in the pending case load (including resolved and new matters), opinions of legal counsel, individual developments in court proceedings, changes in the law, changes in business focus, changes in the litigation environment, changes in opponent strategy and tactics, new developments as a result of ongoing discovery, and past experience in defending and settling similar claims. In the opinion of management, after consultation with outside counsel, the claims or actions to which Dole is a party are not expected to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on Dole’s financial position or results of operations.

DBCP Cases: A significant portion of Dole’s legal exposure relates to lawsuits pending in the United States and in several foreign countries, alleging injury as a result of exposure to the agricultural chemical DBCP (1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane). DBCP was manufactured by several chemical companies including entities of The Dow Chemical Company and Royal Dutch Shell plc and registered by the U.S. government for use on food crops. Dole and other growers applied DBCP on banana farms in Latin America and the Philippines and on pineapple farms in Hawaii. Specific periods of use varied among the different locations. Dole halted all purchases of DBCP, including for use in foreign countries, when the U.S. EPA cancelled the registration of DBCP for use in the United States in 1979. That cancellation was based in part on a 1977 study by a manufacturer which indicated an apparent link between male sterility and exposure to DBCP among factory workers producing the product, as well as early product testing done by the manufacturers showing testicular

effects on animals exposed to DBCP. To date, there is no reliable evidence demonstrating that field application of DBCP led to sterility among farm workers, although that claim is made in the pending lawsuits. Nor is there any reliable scientific evidence that DBCP causes any other injuries in humans, although plaintiffs in the various actions assert claims based on cancer, birth defects and other general illnesses.

Currently there are 195 lawsuits, in various stages of proceedings, alleging injury as a result of exposure to DBCP or seeking enforcement of Nicaragua judgments. In addition, there are 83 labor cases pending in Costa Rica under that country’s national insurance program.

Of the 195 lawsuits, 16 are currently pending in various jurisdictions in the United States. One case in Los Angeles Superior Court, the last remaining lawsuit brought in the United States by Nicaraguan plaintiffs, was dismissed after the Court found that the plaintiffs and their representatives engaged in blatant fraud, witness tampering and active manipulation. On March 11, 2011, the Court issued a final Statement of Decision, followed on March 31, 2011 by a Judgment, that vacates the prior judgment and dismisses all plaintiffs’ claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of that judgment on May 6, 2011, briefing is complete, and we expect to receive notification of oral argument in the third quarter of 2013. The remaining lawsuits are pending in Latin America and the Philippines. Claimed damages in DBCP cases worldwide total approximately $36 billion, with lawsuits in Nicaragua representing approximately 85% of this amount. Typically in these cases, Dole is a joint defendant with the major DBCP manufacturers. Except as described below, none of these lawsuits has resulted in a verdict or judgment against Dole.

In Nicaragua, 165 cases are currently filed (of which 13 are active) in various courts throughout the country, all but three of which were brought pursuant to Law 364, an October 2000 Nicaraguan statute that contains substantive and procedural provisions that Nicaragua’s Attorney General formally opined are unconstitutional. In October 2003, the Supreme Court of Nicaragua issued an advisory opinion, not connected with any litigation, that Law 364 is constitutional. Twenty-five cases have resulted in judgments in Nicaragua: $489.4 million (nine cases consolidated with 465 claimants) on December 11, 2002; $82.9 million (one case with 58 claimants) on February 25, 2004; $15.7 million (one case with 20 claimants) on May 25, 2004; $4 million (one case with four claimants) on May 25, 2004; $56.5 million (one case with 72 claimants) on June 14, 2004; $64.8 million (one case with 85 claimants) on June 15, 2004; $27.7 million (one case with 36 claimants) on March 17, 2005; $46.4 million (one case with 62 claimants) on August 20, 2005; $38.4 million (one case with 192 claimants) on November 14, 2007; and $357.7 million (eight cases with 417 claimants) on January 12, 2009, which Dole learned of unofficially. Except for the latest one, Dole has appealed all judgments. Dole will appeal the $357.7 million judgment once it has been served.

In all but one of the active cases where the proceeding has reached the appropriate stage, Dole has sought to have the cases returned to the United States. In all of the cases where Dole’s request to return the case to the United States has been ruled upon, the courts have denied Dole’s request and Dole has appealed those decisions.

Dole believes that none of the Nicaraguan judgments will be enforceable against any Dole entity in the U.S. or in any other country, because Nicaragua’s Law 364 is unconstitutional and violates international principles of due process. Among other things, Law 364 is an improper “special law” directed at particular parties; it requires defendants to pay large, non-refundable deposits in order to even participate in the litigation; it provides a severely truncated procedural process; it establishes an irrebuttable presumption of causation that is contrary to the evidence and scientific data; and it sets unreasonable minimum damages that must be awarded in every case.

On October 23, 2006, Dole announced that its subsidiary, Standard Fruit de Honduras, S.A., reached an agreement with the Government of Honduras and representatives of Honduran banana workers. This agreement establishes a Worker Program that is intended by the parties to resolve in a fair and equitable manner the claims of male banana workers alleging sterility as a result of exposure to DBCP. The Honduran Worker Program has been operating successfully since its inception, and will not have a material effect on Dole’s financial position or results of operations. The official start of the Honduran Worker Program was announced on January 8, 2007. On August 15, 2007, Shell Oil Company was included in the Worker Program.

As to all the DBCP matters, Dole has denied liability and asserted substantial defenses. Dole believes there is no reliable scientific basis for alleged injuries from the agricultural field application of DBCP. Nevertheless, Dole is looking to resolve all DBCP litigation and claims once and for all. Although no assurance can be given concerning the outcome of the DBCP cases, in the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel and based on past experience defending and settling DBCP claims, neither the pending lawsuits and claims nor their resolution are expected to have a material adverse effect on Dole’s financial position or results of operations.

European Union Antitrust Inquiry: On October 15, 2008, the European Commission (“EC”) adopted a Decision against Dole Food Company, Inc. and Dole Fresh Fruit Europe OHG and against other unrelated banana companies, finding violations of the European competition (antitrust) laws. The Decision imposes €45.6 million in fines on Dole.

The Decision follows a Statement of Objections, issued by the EC on July 25, 2007, and searches carried out by the EC in June 2005 at certain banana importers and distributors, including two of Dole’s offices.

Dole received the Decision on October 21, 2008 and appealed the Decision to the European General Court in Luxembourg on December 24, 2008. Oral argument on the appeal was held on January 25, 2012. On March 14, 2013, the General Court issued a judgment affirming the EC’s Decision. Dole has fully provided for the results of this decision—$42.4 million (of which $8.7 million related to interest expense) was recorded in the first quarter of 2013, in addition to the $30 million (of which $4 million related to interest expense and $10 million was applied to the provisional payment made in 2009) that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012. Dole strongly believes that the European competition laws were not violated and on May 24, 2013, filed an appeal to the EU Court of Justice. It is anticipated that the Court of Justice appeal process will take approximately one year.

Dole made an initial $10 million (€7.6 million) provisional payment towards the €45.6 million fine on January 22, 2009. To appeal the fine to the General Court, Dole was required to account for the remaining balance of the fine by either paying the balance in full, providing a bank guarantee for the balance plus interest (the fine carries interest of 6.15%, which is accrued from January 23, 2009), or a combination of the two. As part of its appeal to the General Court, Dole provided a bank guaranty for the balance remaining after its $10 million payment. The bank guaranty renewed annually and was backed by a letter of credit that carries interest of 2.375%. To appeal to the Court of Justice, Dole was required to again account for the remaining balance of the fine plus interest, by either paying the balance in full, continuing the bank guarantee, or a combination. On June 21, 2013, Dole made a payment of approximately €48.3 million, the remaining balance of the fine plus interest. If the Court of Justice fully agrees with Dole’s appeal, Dole will be entitled to the return of all monies paid, plus interest excluding interest on the letter of credit.

In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, this matter is not expected to have a material adverse effect on Dole’s financial position or results of operations.

Honduran Tax Case: In 2005, Dole received a tax assessment from Honduras of approximately $137 million (including the claimed tax, penalty, and interest through the date of assessment) relating to the disposition of all of Dole’s interest in Cervecería Hondureña, S.A. in 2001. Dole believes the assessment is without merit and filed an appeal with the Honduran tax authorities, which was denied. As a result of the denial in the administrative process, in order to negate the tax assessment, on August 5, 2005, Dole proceeded to the next stage of the appellate process by filing a lawsuit against the Honduran government in the Honduran Administrative Tax Trial Court. The Honduran government sought dismissal of the lawsuit and attachment of assets, which Dole challenged. The Honduran Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the Honduran intermediate appellate court that a statutory prerequisite to challenging the tax assessment on the merits is the payment of the tax assessment or the filing of a payment plan with the Honduran courts; Dole has challenged the constitutionality of the statute requiring such payment or payment plan. Dole and the Honduran government have agreed upon a final resolution of the pending lawsuits and tax-related matters, and are finalizing the related terms and conditions, including a process by which all pending lawsuits are fully and finally resolved. This resolution will not have a material adverse effect on Dole’s financial position or results of operations.

Former Shell Site: Shell Oil Company and Dole were sued in several cases filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, beginning in 2009, alleging property damage and personal injury by persons claiming to be current or former residents in the area of a housing development built in the 1960s by a predecessor of what is now a Dole subsidiary, on land that had been owned and used by Shell as a crude oil storage facility for 40 years prior to the housing development. On April 20, 2011, the Court dismissed the case with prejudice, including all claims against Dole. On August 11, 2011, the Court overturned its dismissal in response to plaintiffs’ motion for reconsideration and permitted the filing of a second amended complaint by plaintiffs. The defendants filed motions to dismiss plaintiffs’ second amended complaint, which have been denied, except that Shell’s motions were granted to dismiss certain property damage claims and certain claims based on the allegation that Shell had engaged in ultra-hazardous activity. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board (“Water Board”) is supervising the cleanup on the former Shell site. On March 11, 2011, the Water Board issued a Cleanup and Abatement Order naming Shell as the Discharger and a Responsible Party, and ordering Shell to assess, monitor, and cleanup and abate the effects of contaminants discharged to soil and groundwater at the site. On April 22, 2011, the Water Board sent Dole a letter requiring Dole to supply information concerning ownership, development and activities of the former Shell site, which Dole did on September 15, 2011. Dole has had no further requests from the Water Board and is not involved in the cleanup and abatement required by the Water Board’s order to Shell.

NOTE 20—SHIPBUILDING CONTRACT

On July 9, 2013, Dole executed three separate shipbuilding contracts with Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co., Ltd. to construct refrigerated container vessels with a contractual price of $54.8 million per vessel ($164.4 million in total) with a total cost to the Company of approximately $168 million. These new vessels, that are important strategically to the Company’s competitive differentiation and future growth prospects, will replace Dole’s existing U.S. West Coast vessels that will be approximately 27 years old at the time of replacement. The new ships will be more fuel efficient, built to Dole’s exacting specifications and design, and have a higher capacity up to 788 FEU compared to the replacement ships with 491 FEU. The contractual delivery for each of the new vessels is expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2015, the first quarter of 2016, and the second quarter of 2016, respectively. Under the terms of each of the contracts, five equal progress payments will be made to Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co., Ltd. as construction milestones are achieved. The first payment of approximately $32.9 million in aggregate was made upon signing, the second payment made under each of the contracts will be made during January 2014, and the remaining three payments will be made during 2015 and 2016.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements, which are based on management’s assumptions and describe Dole’s future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by the use of terms such as “anticipate,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “should” or similar expressions. The potential risks and uncertainties that could cause Dole’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied herein are set forth in Item 1A and Item 7A of Dole’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012 and include: weather-related phenomena; market responses to industry volume pressures; product and raw materials supplies and pricing; changes in interest and currency exchange rates; economic crises; quotas, tariffs and other governmental actions; and international conflict.

Overview

Significant highlights for Dole Food Company, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Dole”) for the quarter and half year ended June 15, 2013 were as follows:

 

   

On April 1, 2013, the previously announced sale of Dole’s worldwide packaged foods and Asia fresh produce businesses (collectively, “Dole Asia”) for $1.685 billion in cash, subject to certain adjustments (“sale transaction”) to ITOCHU Corporation (“ITOCHU”) was completed. After adjustments, the total cash proceeds received from the sale were $1.69 billion, which included a $200 million advance deposit that was received during February 2013. Dole recorded a $241.4 million pre-tax gain on the sale. The proceeds from the sale and Dole’s new capital structure were used to pay off Dole’s previous indebtedness of approximately $1.7 billion, including capital lease obligations of approximately $50 million related to two vessels.

As a result of the sale transaction, Dole is now a commodity produce company with two lines of business—fresh fruit and fresh vegetables. Dole has begun to realign and streamline its global operating structure to conform to the specific needs of the remaining fresh produce businesses, in which Dole will remain a leading producer, marketer and distributor of fresh fruit and fresh vegetables. As a result of the sale of the Asia fresh produce business, the fresh fruit business line will be approximately 30% smaller in terms of revenues, and Dole will remain one of the largest producers of bananas and pineapples, and an industry leader in packaged salads, fresh-packed vegetables and fresh berries. Dole will also maintain its fully-integrated operating platform in the Americas, Europe and Africa, as well as its refrigerated supply chain, which features a dedicated refrigerated containerized fleet, as well as a network of packaging, ripening and distribution centers, to deliver fresh Dole products to market.

 

   

On May 2, 2013, following the planned syndication of the April 1, 2013 credit agreement that Dole entered into with five of Dole’s principal relationship banks, Dole entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, which replaced the April 1, 2013 credit agreement. The amended and restated credit agreement contains a $180 million revolving credit facility, divided between U.S. and non-U.S. borrowings, and a $675 million term loan, which reflects the $500 million drawn on April 1, 2013, the borrowing of $125 million that Dole was entitled to request through the end of September 2013 under the April 1, 2013 credit agreement and an additional $50 million. The new credit agreement also allows Dole to request certain future incremental loans. The annual interest rate on the term loan is, at Dole’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus 2.75%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00% or (ii) a base rate plus 1.75%. The interest rate on amounts borrowed under the revolver is, at Doles option, either (i) LIBOR plus 2.50% to 2.75%, with no LIBOR floor, or (ii) a base rate plus 1.50% to 1.75%, in each case, based upon Dole’s consolidated leverage ratio, but beginning at the upper number in the range.

 

   

On March 14, 2013, the European General Court in Luxembourg issued a judgment affirming the European Commission’s October 15, 2008 Decision finding violations of the European competition (antitrust) laws and imposing €45.6 million in fines on Dole. Dole has fully provided for the results of

Table of Contents
 

the General Court’s judgment. On June 21, 2013, Dole paid, in full, the judgment plus interest totaling approximately €48.3 million ($64.7 million). Dole strongly believes that the European competition laws were not violated and has appealed the judgment to the EU Court of Justice.

 

   

Net revenues from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2013 increased 10% from the second quarter of 2012 to $1.19 billion. For the first half of 2013, net revenues increased 4% from the first half of 2012 to $2.24 billion. Excluding sales from our former German ripening and distribution subsidiary of $114.7 million, which was sold in the first quarter of 2012, sales for the first half of 2013 increased 9%. Sales were higher in both our fresh fruit and fresh vegetables reporting segments.

 

   

Operating income for the second quarter of 2013 decreased 59% from the second quarter of 2012 to $22.6 million. Operating income decreased primarily due to $11.8 million of higher ITOCHU transaction related costs and lower operating income in Dole’s fresh fruit and fresh vegetables operations. Fresh fruit operating income decreased primarily due to higher fruit costs and lower pricing of North America bananas. Fresh vegetables operating income decreased mainly due to lower pricing and higher product costs for strawberries.

Operating income from continuing operations for the first half of 2013 decreased 73% from the first half of 2012 to $22.4 million. The decrease in operating income was primarily driven by a $33.7 million legal provision related to the European Union antitrust decision, which Dole has appealed, and an $18.7 million increase in ITOCHU transaction related costs.

 

   

During the second quarter of 2013, 240,000 shares of Dole’s outstanding common stock were repurchased for approximately $2.7 million, in accordance with the previously announced share repurchase program. During the quarter, Dole announced that its Board of Directors has approved updating Dole’s owned vessel fleet, with the acquisition of three new specialty built refrigerated container ships for its U.S. West Coast operations, and that the share repurchase program is being suspended indefinitely.

 

   

On July 9, 2013, Dole executed three separate shipbuilding contracts with Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co., Ltd. to construct refrigerated container vessels with a contractual price of $54.8 million per vessel ($164.4 million in total) with a total cost to the Company of approximately $168 million. These new vessels, that are important strategically to the Company’s competitive differentiation and future growth prospects, will replace Dole’s existing U.S. West Coast vessels that will be approximately 27 years old at the time of replacement. The new ships will be more fuel efficient, built to Dole’s exacting specifications and design, and have a higher capacity up to 788 FEU compared to the replacement ships with 491 FEU. The contractual delivery for each of the new vessels is expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2015, the first quarter of 2016, and the second quarter of 2016, respectively. Under the terms of each of the contracts, five equal progress payments will be made to Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co., Ltd. as construction milestones are achieved. The first payment of approximately $32.9 million in aggregate was made upon signing, the second payment made under each of the contracts will be made during January 2014, and the remaining three payments will be made during 2015 and 2016.

 

   

On June 10, 2013, Dole received an unsolicited proposal from David H. Murdock to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Dole not already owned by Mr. Murdock or his family for $12.00 per share in cash. On June 25, 2013, Dole announced that it has designated a special committee of its Board of Directors to act on behalf of Dole in respect of this acquisition proposal.

EBIT before discontinued operations and Adjusted EBITDA are measures commonly used by financial analysts in evaluating the performance of companies. EBIT before discontinued operations is calculated from net income by adding interest expense and income taxes, adding the loss or subtracting the income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, and subtracting the gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated from EBIT before discontinued operations by: (1) adding depreciation and amortization from continuing operations; (2) adding the net unrealized loss or subtracting the net unrealized gain on derivative instruments from continuing operations; (3) adding the foreign currency loss or subtracting the foreign currency gain on the vessel obligations; (4) adding the net unrealized loss or subtracting the net unrealized gain on foreign denominated instruments from continuing operations; (5) adding share-based compensation from continuing operations; (6) adding charges for restructuring and long-term receivables from continuing operations; (7) adding ITOCHU transaction related costs; (8) subtracting the gain on asset sales from continuing operations; (9) adding refinancing charges from continuing operations; (10) adding shareholder proposal costs; and (11) adding share repurchase program costs. These adjustments have been made because management excludes these amounts when evaluating the performance of Dole.

EBIT before discontinued operations and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculated or presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and EBIT before discontinued operations and Adjusted EBITDA are not a substitute for net income attributable to shareholders of Dole Food Company, Inc., net income, income from continuing operations, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Further, EBIT

before discontinued operations and Adjusted EBITDA as used herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. However, Dole has included EBIT before discontinued operations and Adjusted EBITDA herein because management believes that EBIT before discontinued operations and Adjusted EBITDA are useful performance measures for Dole. In addition, EBIT before discontinued operations and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because management believes that these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and others in the evaluation of Dole.

EBIT before discontinued operations and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, operating income, cash flow or other combined income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because of their limitations, EBIT before discontinued operations and Adjusted EBITDA and the related ratios presented throughout this Item 2 should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to invest in business growth or reduce indebtedness. Dole compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its U.S. GAAP results and using EBIT before discontinued operations and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.

Revenues

Revenues in the quarter ended June 15, 2013 increased 10% to $1.19 billion from $1.08 billion for the quarter ended June 16, 2012. Fresh fruit revenues increased $96.2 million primarily due to higher volumes and improved pricing of diversified fruit in Europe and higher volumes of deciduous fruit sourced from Chile. Fresh vegetables sales increased $11.7 million due primarily to higher pricing for fresh-packed vegetables and higher sales volumes of packaged salads. These improvements were partially offset by lower pricing for strawberries and blueberries. Net favorable foreign currency exchange movements in Dole’s selling locations resulted in higher revenues of approximately $8.2 million.

Revenues in the half year ended June 15, 2013 increased 4% to $2.24 billion from $2.17 billion for the half year ended June 16, 2012. Excluding 2012 sales from Dole’s German ripening and distribution subsidiary of

Table of Contents

$114.7 million, which was sold during the first quarter of 2012, fresh fruit sales increased 8%, or $127.1 million. This increase is primarily attributable to higher volumes and pricing of bananas in Europe and higher volumes of deciduous fruit sourced from Chile. Fresh vegetables sales increased $62.9 million. This increase is primarily attributable to improved pricing for fresh-packed vegetables and higher volumes of packaged salads. These improvements were partially offset by lower pricing for strawberries. Net favorable foreign currency exchange movements in Dole’s selling locations resulted in higher revenues of approximately $16 million.

Operating Income

For the quarter ended June 15, 2013, operating income from continuing operations decreased 59% to $22.6 million from $54.8 million for the quarter ended June 16, 2012. The decline in operating income is primarily attributable to higher ITOCHU transaction related costs and lower fresh fruit and fresh vegetables operating results. Fresh fruit operating income decreased due to higher fruit costs of Latin sourced bananas and lower banana pricing in North America. Fresh vegetables operating income decreased due to lower pricing of strawberries and blueberries and higher growing costs for strawberries. This decline was partially offset by higher pricing in fresh-packed vegetables.

For the half year ended June 15, 2013, operating income from continuing operations decreased 73% to $22.4 million from $83.2 million for the half year ended June 16, 2012. The decline in operating income is primarily attributable to a legal provision of $33.7 million that was recorded during the first quarter of 2013 in connection with the March 2013 decision by the European Union General Court affirming the European Commission’s fine imposed during fiscal 2008. Higher ITOCHU transaction related costs of $18.7 million also contributed to the decrease. Fresh fruit and fresh vegetables operating income decreased for the half year mainly due to the same factors impacting the decrease in the second quarter of 2012.

Other Income (Expense), Net

For the quarter ended June 15, 2013, other income (expense), net was an expense of $14.4 million compared to income of $0.6 million for the quarter ended June 16, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to the $10.7 million loss on the early retirement of debt in 2013 as well as an unrealized loss of $3.9 million on foreign denominated borrowings in 2013.

For the half year ended June 15, 2013, other income (expense), net was an expense of $7.1 million compared to income of $2.9 million for the half year ended June 16, 2012. The half year decline was primarily attributable to the $10.7 million loss on the early retirement of debt in 2013. This was partially offset by an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $3.1 million generated on Dole’s British pound sterling vessel obligations recognized during the first quarter of the year.

As a result of reflecting Dole Asia’s operations as discontinued operations, amounts previously recorded in other income (expense), net, related to Dole’s long-term Japanese yen hedges have been reclassified into discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Interest Expense

As a result of reflecting Dole Asia’s operations as discontinued operations, all interest expense associated with Dole’s notes and debentures, term loans and revolving credit facilities that were outstanding through the close of the sale of Dole Asia, have been reclassified into discontinued operations. Interest expense incurred on outstanding term loan facilities subsequent to April 1, 2013 have been included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Refer to Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Interest expense for the quarter ended June 15, 2013 was $7.5 million compared to $2.4 million for the quarter ended June 16, 2012. Interest expense increased due to the classification of interest expense on Dole’s notes and debentures, term loans, and revolving credit facilities for the quarter ended June 16, 2012 within discontinued operations.

 

42


Table of Contents

Interest expense for the half year ended June 15, 2013 was $17.7 million compared to $4.5 million for the half year ended June 16, 2012. The increase was primarily due to a $9.3 million accrual of interest expense that was recorded during the first half of 2013 in connection with the March 2013 decision by the European Union General Court affirming the European Commission’s €45.6 million fine imposed during fiscal 2008. The increase was also due to the classification of interest expense on Dole’s notes and debentures, term loans, and revolving credit facilities for the half year ended June 16, 2012 within discontinued operations.

Income Taxes

Dole recorded an income tax benefit of $2.6 million on a $0.2 million pretax loss from continuing operations for the half year ended June 15, 2013. The income tax benefit included interest expense of $0.1 million related to Dole’s unrecognized tax benefits. Income tax expense of $5.8 million on $84 million of pretax income from continuing operations was recorded for the first half ended June 16, 2012, which included an interest benefit of $3.2 million related to Dole’s unrecognized tax benefits. Dole’s effective tax rate varies significantly from period to period due to the level, mix and seasonality of earnings generated in its various U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. For the half year ended June 15, 2013, Dole’s income tax benefit differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate applied to Dole’s pretax loss primarily due to losses generated in the U.S. that are benefitted at statutory rates higher than the statutory rates used to determine tax on income earned outside of the U.S. For the half year ended June 16, 2012, Dole’s effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate applied to Dole’s pre-tax income primarily due to a decrease in Dole’s total amount of unrecognized tax benefits of $17 million as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations concerning certain transfer pricing items. Including interest, net of tax benefits, the total amount recorded for this item was $18.7 million which was partially offset by an increase in Dole’s U.S. federal valuation allowance.

Income tax expense for the quarters ended June 15, 2013 and June 16, 2012 were $1.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Dole is required to adjust its effective tax rate for each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. Jurisdictions with a projected loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the calculation of the estimated annual effective tax rate. This could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections.

Segment Results of Operations

Due to the sale of the packaged foods reportable operating segment, Dole has two reportable operating segments from continuing operations: fresh fruit and fresh vegetables. These reportable segments are managed separately due to differences in geography, products, production processes, distribution channels and customer bases.

The fresh fruit reportable operating segment (“fresh fruit”) primarily sells bananas, fresh pineapple and deciduous fruit, which are sourced from local growers or Dole-owned or leased farms located in Latin America, with significant selling locations in North America and Western Europe. Dole Asia’s fresh produce business formerly was included in the fresh fruit reportable operating segment, but is reported as discontinued operations in this report as a result of the sale transaction.

The fresh vegetables reportable operating segment (“fresh vegetables”) sells packaged salads and has a line of fresh-packed products that includes iceberg and romaine lettuce, celery, and fresh berries, including strawberries and blueberries. Substantially all of the sales for fresh vegetables are generated in North America.

Dole’s management evaluates and monitors segment performance primarily through earnings before interest expense and income taxes before discontinued operations (“EBIT”). EBIT is calculated by adding interest expense and income taxes to income (loss) from continuing operations, net of income taxes. Management

Table of Contents

believes that segment EBIT provides useful information for analyzing the underlying business results as well as allowing investors a means to evaluate the financial results of each segment in relation to Dole as a whole. EBIT is not defined under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as a measure of Dole’s profitability. Additionally, Dole’s computation of EBIT may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because not all companies calculate EBIT in the same manner.

Second quarter and half year ended 2013 compared with second quarter and half year ended 2012 for Continuing Operations

Fresh Fruit

Fresh Fruit revenues for the quarter ended June 15, 2013 increased 12% to $878.9 million from $782.7 million for the quarter ended June 16, 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to higher volumes of diversified fruit in Europe and higher volumes of deciduous fruit sourced from Chile. Revenues also increased due to higher banana volumes in North America and sales of paper and supplies to former Dole Asia entities. Net favorable foreign currency exchange movements in Dole’s foreign selling locations resulted in higher revenues of approximately $8.2 million during the second quarter ended June 15, 2013.

Fresh fruit revenues for the half year ended June 15, 2013 increased 1% to $1.64 billion from $1.63 billion for the half year ended June 16, 2012. Fresh fruit sales increased $127.1 million, or by 8%, excluding sales from Dole’s German ripening and distribution subsidiary that was sold in the first quarter of 2012. Sales increased mainly due to higher volumes of bananas in Europe, as well as improved volumes of deciduous fruit sourced from Chile. Sales of paper and supplies to former Dole Asia entities also contributed to the revenue growth. Net favorable foreign currency exchange movements in Dole’s foreign selling locations resulted in higher revenues of approximately $16 million during the half year ended June 15, 2013.

Dole’s fresh fruit segment EBIT was impacted by certain items, which are included in the table below:

Fresh fruit EBIT for the quarter ended June 15, 2013 decreased 19% to $51.3 million from $63.2 million for the quarter ended June 16, 2012. The decrease is primarily attributable to higher fruit costs from Latin sourced bananas, and lower banana pricing in North America. This decrease was partially offset by higher pricing of bananas in Europe.

Fresh fruit EBIT for the half year ended June 15, 2013 decreased 37% to $62.8 million from $98.9 million for the half year ended June 16, 2012. Fresh fruit EBIT decreased primarily due to a legal provision of $33.7 million recorded in the first quarter of 2013. Additionally, excluding the impact of the items in the table above, fresh fruit EBIT decreased $2.4 million primarily due to higher fruit costs from Latin sourced bananas, lower banana pricing in North America, and higher distribution and general and administrative costs in Europe. This decrease was partially offset by higher pricing in Europe of bananas and pineapples.

Fresh Vegetables

Fresh vegetables revenues for the quarter ended June 15, 2013 increased 4% to $308.7 million from $297 million for the quarter ended June 16, 2012. Revenues increased primarily due to higher volumes of packaged salads and overall higher pricing of fresh-packed vegetables, particularly in celery. These improvements were partially offset by lower pricing for strawberries and blueberries.

Fresh vegetables revenues for the half year ended June 15, 2013 increased 12% to $598.3 million from $535.4 million for the half year ended June 16, 2012. Revenues increased primarily due to overall higher pricing in fresh packed vegetables, particularly in celery and iceberg lettuce, as well as higher volumes of packaged salads and fresh berries. These benefits were offset by lower pricing of strawberries.

Fresh vegetables EBIT for the quarter ended June 15, 2013 decreased 134% to a loss of $3.5 million from income of $10.3 million for the quarter ended June 16, 2012. EBIT decreased mainly due to lower pricing and higher growing and harvesting costs in strawberries, as a result of poor product quality related to weather issues. Higher vegetable and production costs in packaged salads also contributed to lower EBIT. The decrease was partially offset by overall higher pricing of fresh-packed vegetables.

Fresh vegetables EBIT for the half year ended June 15, 2013 decreased 22% to $13.5 million from $17.3 million for the half year ended June 16, 2012. EBIT decreased mainly due to the same factors that contributed to the decrease in EBIT for the second quarter.

Corporate

Corporate EBIT was a loss of $37.2 million for the quarter ended June 15, 2013 compared to a loss of $14.5 million for the quarter ended June 16, 2012. The decrease in EBIT was primarily due to an increase in ITOCHU transaction related costs and refinancing charges related to the new term loan facilities.

Corporate EBIT was a loss of $55.5 million for the half year ended June 15, 2013 compared to a loss of $24.4 million for the half year ended June 16, 2012. The decrease in EBIT was primarily due an increase in ITOCHU transaction related costs, refinancing charges incurred during the quarter ended June 15, 2013 related to the credit loan facilities and an increase in share-based compensation resulting from higher costs as a result of accelerated vesting in connection with the change of control provision triggered by the sale transaction. The decrease was partially offset by lower levels of general and administrative expense.

Discontinued Operations

During the fourth quarter of 2012, Dole concluded that Dole Asia met the requirements to be presented as assets and liabilities held-for-sale and discontinued operations. Accordingly, the results of operations for Asia Fresh and Packaged Foods have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Included in discontinued operations are interest expense and debt related costs associated with Dole’s debentures, secured notes, revolving credit facility and term loans for all historical periods presented. The interest expense and related costs associated with these debt instruments have been reclassified to discontinued operations because the terms of these instruments require immediate repayment of the outstanding debt balance upon consummation of the pending sale of Dole Asia. In addition, for all historical periods presented, had the sale of Dole Asia been previously consummated, the terms of the then outstanding debentures, secured notes, revolving credit facility and term loans would have required that they be repaid in their entirety. These costs have been included discontinued operations.

During 2006 Dole entered into an interest rate swap to synthetically convert $320 million of its term loans into Japanese yen denominated debt (“cross currency swap”). The cross currency swap did not qualify for hedge accounting and was marked to market each accounting period. In addition, during 2006, Dole also entered into an interest rate swap to synthetically convert $320 million of term loans into fixed-rate debt. During 2011, Dole refinanced its liability under the cross currency swap by entering into a series of Japanese yen forward contracts (“long-term Japanese yen hedges”), and obtained hedge accounting for these hedges. Due to the fact that the cross currency swap and the interest rate swap were linked to the term loans of Dole, all of the statement of operations activity associated with these instruments has been presented within discontinued operations for all periods presented. In addition, since the long-term Japanese yen hedges were designated to hedge Dole’s yen-

denominated revenue stream generated from the Dole Asia business, the statement of operations activity associated with the long-term Japanese yen hedges has been presented within discontinued operations for all periods presented. On March 8, 2013, Dole entered into an agreement to settle the long-term Japanese yen hedges for $25.1 million which was paid on March 27, 2013. All amounts associated with these instruments have been included in discontinued operations.

During the second quarter of 2008, Dole approved and committed to a formal plan to divest its fresh-cut flowers business. During the first quarter of 2009, the operations and the majority of the related assets of this business were sold. During 2010, Dole sold a building and a farm located in Colombia. During 2011, Dole sold a warehouse in Miami and also sold a farm in Colombia. During the fourth quarter of 2012, Dole sold a farm in Colombia.

For the quarter ended June 15, 2013, loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was $11.6 million compared to income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of $9.6 million for the quarter ended June 16, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the write-off of debt related costs associated with Dole’s debentures, secured notes, revolving credit facility and term loans during the second quarter of 2013. These items were partially offset by the absence of interest expense on the term loans and debentures subsequent to April 1, 2013.

For the half year ended June 15, 2013, loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was $81.1 million compared to income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of $1.1 million for the half year ended June 16, 2012. The decrease was mainly due to the write-off of debt related costs associated with Dole’s debentures, secured notes, revolving credit facility and term loans during the second quarter of 2012 and due to lower earnings of Dole Asia. These items were partially offset by gains recognized on the long-term Japanese yen hedges prior to their settlement and the absence of interest expense on the term loans and debentures subsequent to April 1, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flows used in operating activities were $95.9 million for the half year ended June 15, 2013, compared to $57.7 million provided by operating activities for the half year ended June 16, 2012. The change was primarily attributable to a higher level of receivables due to higher sales volumes and timing of collections. Lower payable levels in 2013 due to timing of payments also contributed to the use of cash. The decline in cash flows from operations exists, despite the gain on the sale of Dole Asia, as the related proceeds are recognized as an investing activity.

Cash flows provided by investing activities were $1.55 billion for the half year ended June 15, 2013, compared to $19.6 million used in investing activities for the half year ended June 16, 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to proceeds received from the sale of Dole Asia, partially offset by capital expenditures and required funding of the Rabbi trusts.

Cash flows used in financing activities were $1.12 billion for the half year ended June 15, 2013, compared to $65.9 million used in financing activities for the half year ended June 16, 2012. The increased use of cash is primarily attributable to the repayment of the existing long-term debt, including substantially all of Dole’s capital lease obligations. This was partially offset by borrowings under the new term loan facility.

As of June 15, 2013, Dole had a cash balance of $424.9 million, excluding restricted cash of $16.3 million, and borrowing capacity of $180 million under the revolving credit facility. After taking into account approximately $18 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility Dole had approximately $162 million available for borrowings as of June 15, 2013 under the revolving credit facility.

On April 1, 2013, Dole entered into a new secured credit agreement, with five of Dole’s principal relationship banks, which has now been replaced following the planned syndication of the loans (see below), under which the borrowers were Dole and its wholly-owned subsidiary Solvest, Ltd. (“Solvest”). The new credit agreement replaced Dole’s existing revolving credit and term loan agreements, which, with all of Dole’s

Table of Contents

outstanding series of secured notes and debentures, have been fully paid, defeased or discharged. The new credit agreement provided for a new revolving credit facility of up to $150 million, divided between U.S. and non-U.S. borrowings, and for a new term loan of $500 million in the U.S. The agreement also allowed Dole to request additional term loans of up to $125 million through the end of September 2013 and for Dole to request future incremental loans. The annual interest rate on the term loan was, at Dole’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus 3.75%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.25% or (ii) a base rate plus 2.75%. The annual interest rate on amounts drawn under the revolving loan was, at Dole’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus 3.50% to 3.75%, with no LIBOR floor, or (ii) a base rate plus 2.50% to 2.75%, in each case, based upon Dole’s consolidated leverage ratio.

On May 2, 2013, following the syndication of the April 1 loans, Dole entered into an amended and restated secured credit agreement under which Dole and Solvest continue to be the borrowers. The amended and restated credit agreement replaces the April 1, 2013 credit agreement. The amended and restated credit agreement increases the revolving credit facility to $180 million, divided between U.S. and non-U.S. borrowings, and increases the term loan to $675 million, which reflects the $500 million drawn on April 1, 2013, the borrowings of $125 million that Dole was entitled to request through the end of September 2013 under the April 1, 2013 credit agreement, and an additional $50 million. The agreement also allows Dole to request certain future incremental loans. The annual interest rate on the term loan is, at Dole’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus 2.75%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00% or (ii) a base rate plus 1.75%. The interest rate on amounts drawn under the revolver is, at Dole’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus 2.50% to 2.75%, with no LIBOR floor, or (ii) a base rate plus 1.50% to 1.75%, in each case, based upon Dole’s consolidated leverage ratio, but beginning at the upper number in the range. A portion of the revolving loan facilities may, at Dole’s discretion, be used to provide letters of credit.

The U.S. loans are secured by substantially all the U.S. assets of Dole and its domestic subsidiaries; the non-U.S. loans are secured by the same U.S. assets and by certain assets of Dole’s Bermuda subsidiaries. The revolving credit facility matures in five years and the term loan matures in seven years.

Dole believes that available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility and subsidiaries’ uncommitted lines of credit, together with its existing cash balances, future cash flow from operations, planned asset sales and access to capital markets will enable it to meet Dole’s working capital, capital expenditure, debt maturity and other commitments and funding requirements over the next 12 months. Management’s plan is dependent upon the occurrence of future events that will be impacted by a number of factors including the general economic environment in which Dole operates, Dole’s ability to generate cash flow from its operations, and its ability to attract buyers for assets being marketed for sale. Factors impacting Dole’s cash flow from operations include, but are not limited to, product pricing, commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Other Matters

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements: See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for information regarding Dole’s adoption of new accounting pronouncements.

European Union (“EU”) Banana Import Regime: Under the World Trade Organization Geneva Agreement on Trade in Bananas reached in 2009, a new EU “tariff only” import regime for bananas went into force on all banana imports to the EU market from Latin America. Under terms of the agreement, there will be a gradual tariff reduction from 148 euros per metric ton in 2010 to a final tariff of 114 euros per metric ton on January 1, 2017 or January 1, 2019 (the 2019 date applies if no further trade agreements are reached in the ongoing Doha Development Agenda global trade discussions). Bananas from African, Caribbean and Pacific countries can be imported to the EU duty-free.

In addition, the EU has negotiated several free trade areas agreements (“FTA”) that will allow for an even lower import tariff on specified volumes of banana exports from certain countries. An EU-Colombia-Peru FTA was signed on June 26, 2012 and an EU-Central America (i.e., Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras,

Nicaragua and Panama) FTA was signed on June 29, 2012. The EU and Peru have fully ratified their respective FTA, but Colombia is still pursuing its internal ratification process. On February 28, 2013, the European Council approved provisional entry into force of the FTA for Peru beginning on March 1, 2013. The EU-Colombia-Peru FTA is expected to be fully ratified by Colombia and come into force within the next few months. The ratification of the EU-Central American FTA is also ongoing and is similarly expected to come into force sometime during 2013. Ecuador has not yet negotiated an FTA with the EU on bananas and may not benefit, like the other Latin American countries party to an FTA, unless a similar FTA can be negotiated with the EU. Dole continues to monitor these developments but cannot yet anticipate the specific dates when each of these FTAs will come into force or if Ecuador will be successful in negotiating similar trade terms with the EU for Ecuadorian bananas.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For the quarter ended June 15, 2013, there have been no material changes in the market risk disclosure presented in Dole’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012. For information regarding Dole’s derivative instruments and hedging activities, refer to Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation was carried out as of June 15, 2013 under the supervision and with the participation of Dole’s management, including our President and Chief Operating Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, Dole’s President and Chief Operating Officer and Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 15, 2013. No change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during our second quarter of 2013 has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Dole’s internal control over financial reporting.
