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 worldwide. We procure avocado products 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 and (ii) process and package guacamole. We distribute our products both domestically and internationally. We report our operations in two different business segments: Grown and Prepared. ​ During the year ended October 31, 2024, management 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 divestiture, as described in Note 10. For more information, see Note 16. ​ We completed the sale of our Fresh Cut business and related real estate on August 15, 2024 for $83.0 million, subject to various closing adjustments. The Fresh Cut business represents substantially all of the business of the Prepared segment other than the guacamole business, which has been retained following the Transaction. For more information, see Note 17.
