The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries in Mexico is the United States dollar (U.S. dollar). As a result, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets, liabilities and equity are translated at historical rates. Sales and expenses are translated using a weighted-average exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses resulting from those remeasurements and foreign currency transactions are recognized within cost of sales. We recognized foreign currency remeasurement losses in the current quarter. These losses were due primarily to certain long-term net peso receivables. Foreign currency remeasurement losses, net of gains, for the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.3 million and $0.5 million. Foreign currency remeasurement losses, net of gains, for the six months ended April 30, 2022 was $0.9 million. Foreign currency remeasurement gains, net of losses, for the six months ended April 30, 2021 was $0.6 million. ​ Long-lived assets attributed to geographic areas as of April 30, 2022 and October 31, 2021, are as follows (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ United States Mexico Consolidated April 30, 2022 ​ $ 78,604 ​ $ 36,174 ​ $ 114,778 October 31, 2021 ​ $ 81,059 ​ $ 37,221 ​ $ 118,280 ​

Litigation ​ From time to time, we are involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business that we do not believe will have a material adverse impact on our financial statements. Mexico tax audits ​ We conduct business both domestically and internationally and, as a result, one or more of our subsidiaries files income tax returns in U.S. federal, U.S. state and certain foreign jurisdictions. Accordingly, in the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities, primarily in Mexico and the United States. ​ 2011 Assessment ​ On June 16, 2021 Calavo reached a settlement agreement with the Ministry of Finance and Administration of the government of the State of Michoacan, Mexico (MFM) regarding a 2011 Assessment of approximately $2.2 billion Mexican pesos related to income tax, flat rate business tax and value added tax. Calavo agreed to pay approximately $47.8 million Mexican pesos (approximately $2.4 million USD) as a full and final settlement of all taxes, fines, and penalties. ​ 2013 Assessment ​ In January 2017, we received preliminary observations from the Servicio de Administracion Tributaria in Mexico (the “SAT”) related to an audit for fiscal year 2013 outlining certain proposed adjustments primarily related to intercompany funding, deductions for services from certain vendors/suppliers and IVA. We provided a written rebuttal to these preliminary observations during our second fiscal quarter of 2017. During the period from our third fiscal quarter of 2017 through our third fiscal quarter of 2018, we attempted to resolve our case with the SAT through the conclusive agreement submitted before PRODECON (Mexican Tax Ombudsman), having several working meetings attended by representatives of the SAT, Calavo de Mexico (CDM) and the PRODECON. However, we were unable to materially resolve our case with the SAT through the PRODECON process. ​ As a result, in July 2018, the SAT’s local office in Uruapan issued to CDM a final tax assessment (the “2013 Assessment”) totaling approximately $2.6 billion Mexican pesos (which includes annual adjustments for inflation, and equals approximately $129.5 million USD at April 30, 2022) related to Income Tax, Flat Rate Business Tax, and value added tax, related to this fiscal 2013 tax audit. This amount has been adjusted for inflation as of April 30, 2022 to the amount of $3.08 billion Mexican pesos (approx. $153.5 million USD). Additionally, the tax authorities have determined that we owe our employee’s profit-sharing liability, totaling approximately $118 million Mexican pesos (approx. $5.9 million USD at April 30, 2022). In August 2018, we filed an Administrative Appeal on the 2013 Assessment, appealing our case to the SAT’s central legal department in Michoacan. ​ On June 25, 2021, we became aware that the Administrative Appeal had been resolved by the SAT against CDM on March 12, 2021, and that we had allegedly failed to timely respond to and challenge the SAT’s notification of such resolution, therefore rendering the 2013 Assessment as definitive. Consequently, the SAT placed liens on the fixed assets of CDM, with a net book value of approximately $26 million USD, and on bank accounts of CDM totaling approximately $1 million USD in order to guaranty the 2013 Assessment. Based on legal counsel from our tax advisory firm, we and our tax advisory firm have concluded that the March notification was not legally communicated. ​ On August 27, 2021, we filed a formal complaint, or queja ​ On August 18, 2021, we filed an Administrative Reconsideration (the Reconsideration) before the Central Legal Department of the SAT located in Mexico City, asserting that the resolution in March of the Administrative Appeal was wrongly concluded, in particular with respect to the following matters: o Failure to recognize CDM as a “maquiladora” o Considering the Company to have a permanent establishment in Mexico, o Including fruit purchase deposits transferred by the Company to CDM as taxable, o Application of 16% IVA tax to fruit purchase deposits; and o Imposing double-taxation on the fruit purchase transactions ​ On August 20, 2021 we filed an Annulment Suit (the Annulment Suit) with the Federal Tax Court, which among other things, strongly contends that the notifications made by the SAT to CDM and its designated advisors of the resolution of the Administrative Appeal in March 2021 were not legally communicated. In addition, the Annulment Suit asserts the same matters central to the Reconsideration, as described above, as wrongly concluded in the resolution of the Administrative Appeal. ​ On September 22, 2021, we had an initial in-person meeting with the SAT in Mexico City to formally present and discuss the Reconsideration. The SAT agreed to review our Reconsideration in more detail; however, on January 3, 2022, the SAT formally rejected our request for the Reconsideration. In response to this rejection, on January 21, 2022, we filed an injunction suit ( the “Amparo” ​ On February 4, 2022, we had a follow-up meeting with the SAT in Mexico City to begin a dialog with the objective of reaching a settlement of the 2013 Assessment. The SAT agreed in principle to continue this dialog, but requested that we provide a financial guaranty to secure the related tax as a pre-requisite to these discussions. ​ On February 25, 2022, we filed an additional injunction in which we seek to have the liens against the bank accounts of CDM lifted. The injunction suit has been accepted by the court and we are expecting a response by September 2022. The main purpose of the injunction suit was to challenge the SAT’s response issued to the Reconsideration, and with that, to keep the Reconsideration alive until the injunction suit is decided. This would allow time to continue the discussions with SAT at the administrative level and would give SAT the legal basis to issue a new resolution in terms of what may be agreed in the ongoing discussions with SAT. This injunction suit represents a further opportunity as well for a Court of Law to analyze this matter from a constitutional perspective. ​ The injunction suit has been admitted for analysis by the District Court, however, SAT filed a complaint (queja) against the ruling allowing CDM to file an extension of the injunction suit aiming to appoint as a defendant other than SAT’s authority that were involved in the reconsideration appeal's resolution. This complaint was filed by SAT to challenge the admission and analysis of the injunction suit; this complaint is expected to be decided by the Circuit Courts within the next couple of months. ​ On March 10, 2022, we met with the SAT and offered an Administrative Guaranty ( Embargo en Via Administrativa) , ​ On March 4, 2022, the Annulment Suit was formally accepted by the Federal Tax Court, which simultaneously granted a provisional suspension of the collections proceedings by the SAT. The acceptance by the court of the Annulment Suit renders the 2013 Assessment as non-definitive, until such time as the suit is resolved. ​ ​ On April 27, 2022, the SAT provided a Positive Compliance Opinion to CDM, and consequently on April 29, 2022, the Tax Authority renewed the VAT Certification to CDM. These two resolutions signal a positive development on the Tax controversies in Mexico. ​ On April 29, 2022, we submitted all the documentation required to the Tax Authority and the Federal Tax Court to continue with the consideration of the Administrative Guaranty. Once the Administrative Guaranty is ruled and accepted by the FTC and tax authority, they will permanently suspend and remove the liens on the fixed assets and bank accounts of CDM. ​ While we continue to believe that the 2013 Assessment is completely without merit, and that we will prevail on the Annulment Suit in the Tax Court, we also believe it is in the best interest of CDM and the Company to settle the 2013 Assessment as quickly as possible. Furthermore, we believe that the above actions taken by CDM will encourage the SAT to agree to reach a settlement. In accordance with our cumulative probability analysis on uncertain tax positions, our recent settlements, made by the SAT in other cases, the 2011 Assessment settlement reached by CDM with the MFM, and the value of CDM assets, we recorded a provision of $11 million USD, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, as a discrete item in Income Tax Provision. The provision includes estimated penalties, interest and inflationary adjustments. We believe that this provision remains appropriate as of April 30, 2022 based on or cumulative probability analysis. We incurred $0.5 million and $0.8 million of related professional fees for the three and six months ended April 30, 2022, which have been recorded in Expenses related to Mexican Tax matters. ​

Mexican IVA taxes receivable

Mexican IVA taxes receivable
Mexican IVA taxes receivable	11. Mexican IVA taxes receivable ​ Included in other assets are tax receivables due from the Mexican government for value-added taxes (“IVA”) paid in advance. CDM is charged IVA by vendors on certain expenditures in Mexico, which, insofar as they relate to the exportation of goods, translate into IVA amounts recoverable from the Mexican government. ​ As of April 30, 2022, and October 31, 2021, CDM IVA receivables totaled $39.8 million (819.2 million Mexican pesos) and $37.5 million (762.1 million Mexican pesos). Historically, CDM received IVA refund payments from the Mexican tax authorities on a timely basis. Beginning in fiscal 2014 and continuing into fiscal 2022, the tax authorities began carrying out more detailed reviews of our refund requests and our supporting documentation. Additionally, they are also questioning the refunds requested attributable to IVA paid to certain suppliers that allegedly did not fulfill their own tax obligations. We believe these factors and others have contributed to delays in the processing of IVA claims by the Mexican tax authorities. Currently, we are in the process of collecting such balances primarily through regular administrative processes, but these amounts may ultimately need to be recovered through Administrative Appeals and/or legal means. ​ During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the tax authorities informed us that their internal opinion, based on the information provided by the local SAT office, considers that CDM is not properly documented relative to its declared tax structure and therefore CDM cannot claim the refundable IVA balance. CDM has strong arguments and supporting documentation to sustain its declared tax structure for IVA and income tax purposes. CDM started an Administrative Appeal for the IVA related to the request of the months of July, August and September of 2015 (the “2015 Appeal”) in order to assert its argument that CDM is properly documented and to therefore change the SAT’s internal assessment. In August 2018, we received a favorable ruling from the SAT’s Legal Administration in Michoacan on the 2015 Appeal indicating that they believe CDM’s legal interpretation of its declared tax structure is indeed accurate. While favorable on this central matter of CDM’s declared tax structure, the ruling, however, still does not recognize the taxpayers right to a full refund for the IVA related to the months of July, August and September 2015. Therefore, in October 2018, CDM filed a substance-over-form Annulment Suit in the Federal Tax Court to recover its full refund for IVA over the subject period, which is currently pending resolution. ​ In April 2022, the Tax Court issued the ruling for the months of July, August and September 2015 through which it was declared that the following resolutions were resolved: ​ ● It is recognized that CDM operates as a maquila under the authorization of the Ministry of Finance. ​ ● It is recognized that all bank deposits corresponding to the purchase of avocados on behalf of Calavo Growers Inc. (CGI), are subject to the maquila program and it is not accruable income for purposes of Income Tax nor activities subject to VAT. ​ ● It is recognized that VAT is recoverable, since CDM demonstrated the existence of operations carried under the maquila services. ​ ● Resolved that certain VAT amounts attributed to the purchase of certain packing materials are not recoverable as CDM was not the buyer on record and therefore did not pay for the materials, which approximated $6.9 million pesos (approximately $0.3 million USD). ​ On May 9, 2022, the Company filed an appeal against the ruling which resolved that certain VAT amounts are not recoverable . ​ While the latest court resolution sustains the Company’s position that it is entitled to substantially all of its VAT amounts, the Company is also considering its options for resolution of the VAT receivable. In the unlikely event of an unfavorable resolution of the Administrative Appeals, we plan to file Annulment Suits with the Mexican Federal Tax Court. If these suits result in an unfavorable ruling, there is an option to appeal to the Collegiate Circuit Court. The estimated time for the resolution of these suits could be 2 – 3 years . ​ We believe that our operations in Mexico are properly documented, and our internationally recognized tax advisors believe that there are legal grounds to prevail in collecting the corresponding IVA amounts. With assistance from our internationally recognized tax advisory firm, as of April 30, 2022, CDM has filed Administrative Appeals for months for which IVA refunds have been denied by the SAT, and will continue filing such appeals for any months for which refunds are denied in the future. Therefore, it is probable that the Mexican tax authorities will ultimately authorize the refund of the corresponding IVA amounts.

In March 2022, the Company and the Lenders entered into the Sixth Amendment, Limited Waiver, and Limited Consent to Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”). The Sixth Amendment, among other terms, waived the non-compliance of the financial covenants as of January 31, 2022 and amended the financial covenant requirements as follows: ​ ● The cumulative monthly minimum Consolidated EBITDA testing has been waived and the CLR covenant testing is waived through July 31, 2022. ● Minimum Consolidated EBITDA of $3 million, $3 million and $5 million for the months of February, March and April 2022 will be required. ● Monthly cumulative FCCR of 1.20 starting with the quarter ended April 30, 2022, converting to trailing 12 months calculation starting as of October 31, 2022 and quarterly thereafter.

As of April 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the financial covenants, and we expect to remain in compliance through June 2023. As of April 30, 2022, approximately million was available for borrowing, based on our borrowing base calculation, as discussed above.

COVID-19 Pandemic Impact
COVID-19 Pandemic Impact	13. COVID-19 Pandemic Impact ​ The COVID-19 pandemic has created challenging and unprecedented conditions for our business, and we are committed to taking action in support of a Company-wide response to the crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, changed certain purchasing norms in retail and foodservice channels and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. This has resulted in inflationary and cost pressures that have significantly increased, and continue to adversely impact, our production and distribution costs, including costs of raw materials, packaging, labor, and freight. We are also experiencing pressure in our supply chain due to strained transportation capacity and lack of sufficient labor availability. We believe, however, that we are well-positioned for the future as we continue to navigate the crisis and have successfully implemented contingency plans in the U.S. and in Mexico to monitor the evolving needs of our businesses, as well as those related to our Peru partner in consignment avocado sales. ​ The effects of the pandemic have been more pronounced in the portions of our business servicing foodservice customers and to a lesser extent certain segments of our retail business, including behind-the-glass deli and grab-and-go convenience items. ​ While many of such restrictions have since been lifted, the pace of the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic is not presently known. Additionally, we cannot forecast future variants or the impact on our business of such variants, if any. We cannot reasonably estimate the duration or extent of the pandemic’s adverse impact on our business, operating results, and long-term liquidity position.

Closure of RFG Florida facility
Closure of RFG Florida facility	14. Closure of RFG Florida facility ​ On November 15, 2021, the Green Cove facility of RFG has ceased operations. The Company’s Fresh avocado operations at this facility will continue in operation and are not affected. RFG will continue to serve customers of this location from its other food processing locations, primarily in Georgia. ​ The closure resulted in a reduction of 140 employees, impairment of leasehold improvements, writedowns of inventory and other assets, and certain cash expenditures for the relocation of machinery and equipment and the closure of the leased facilities. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, we wrote down $8.7 million of leasehold improvements, $0.1 million of equipment, and $0.6 million of inventory (recognized through cost of goods sold). We also paid $0.4 million in employee severance. The impairment related to the RFG Florida closure has been recorded on the face of the income statement under “Impairment and charges related to RFG Florida facility closure”. ​ As of April 30, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the Company had right of use assets with a net book value of $4.2 million and $4.8 million respectively, and lease liabilities of $5.4 million and $6.0 million, respectively, recorded on the balance sheet related to the closed facility. The facility lease has a maturity date of October 31, 2031. The Company intends to seek a sub-lease tenant to assume the vacated space, and believes such a sub-lease can be obtained at a lease rate, and for a lease period, sufficient to realize the right of use asset. Management will continue to evaluate the actual amounts and duration of expected future sub-lease revenues. Should the actual sub-lease revenues be less than those currently expected, the Company may need to record impairment of some or all of its investment in the right of use asset. ​ During the three and six months ended April 30, 2022, we incurred $0.3 million and $1.0 million of incremental restructuring and related costs due to the transition to other facilities. ​
