Forward guidance
The Company believes it will experience improving year-over-year results in fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022 due to its stronger position in retail food and club grocery.
Tailwinds
- Expects fresh lemon volumes to be in the range of 5.0 million to 5.4 million cartons for fiscal year 2023.

- Also expects to have a steady increase in third-party grower fruit.
Headwinds
- The Company’s food service business and industry logistics continue to experience slowdown due to supply chain and inflationary pressures on a global basis.
