Job cuts, severance and restructuring
Our summarySelling, marketing and general and administrative expenses rose in part because of restructuring and redundancy costs.
Word for word“The increase in total SMG&A (4.5%, or $21.4 million) was primarily due to increases in employee wages and salaries in the current year, higher professional fees, restructuring and redundancy costs and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation, as a result of the strengthening of the Swedish krona, euro and British pound sterling against the U.S. Dollar when compared to the prior year.” 10-K for 2025

Dole has filed no restructuring notice (Form 8-K, Item 2.05) since 2016. Companies file one only for a cut they judge material, so many announced layoffs never appear as one. This page shows what the company reported to the SEC, not news reports or state layoff notices.
