Description of the business | 1. Description of the business ​ Business ​ Calavo Growers, Inc. (referred to in this report as “Calavo”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), is a global leader in the avocado industry and a provider of value-added fresh food. Our expertise in marketing and distributing avocados, prepared avocados, and other perishable foods allows us to deliver a wide array of fresh and prepared food products to retail grocery, foodservice, club stores, mass merchandisers, food distributors and wholesalers on a worldwide basis. We procure avocados from California, Mexico and other growing regions around the world. Through our various operating facilities, we (i) sort, pack, and/or ripen avocados, tomatoes and/or Hawaiian grown papayas, (ii) create, process and package a portfolio of healthy fresh foods including fresh-cut fruit and vegetables, and prepared foods and (iii) process and package guacamole and salsa. We distribute our products both domestically and internationally and we report our operations in two different business segments: Grown and Prepared. ​ We and certain of our subsidiaries have entered into non-binding negotiations regarding the potential sale of all of the assets used in our Fresh Cut business and certain related real property (the “Proposed Transaction”). The terms, including price and structure, remain under negotiation, and we are targeting completion of the Proposed Transaction during the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The Fresh Cut business represents substantially all of the business of the Prepared segment other than the guacamole business, which would be retained following the Proposed Transaction. ​ During the six-months period ended April 30, 2024, management has concluded that the Fresh Cut business meets the requirements to be classified as held for sale and discontinued operations. As a result, the financial results of that business are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations, and its assets and liabilities are reflected as amounts held for sale in the accompanying balance sheets. The Company's reporting segments have also been changed for the effects of the planned divestiture, as described in Note 2. For more information, see Note 11. ​ Basis of Presentation ​ The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023. ​ Retrospective reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements and disclosures to present the Fresh Cut business unit as discontinued operations (see Note 11, “Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”). ​ Recently Issued Accounting Standards ​ In November 2023, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statement disclosures. ​
