The company's operations are managed through two primary segments: Alico Citrus and Land Management and Other Operations.
The Alico Citrus division is a significant contributor to the firm's revenue, focusing on the cultivation and delivery of citrus fruits, particularly Hamlin and Valencia oranges, to both processed and fresh citrus markets. Alico's partnership with major juice processors like Tropicana underscores its pivotal role in the citrus industry.
The Land Management and Other Operations segment diversifies Alico's revenue streams through land leasing for recreational, conservation, and mining activities. Alico has also been actively engaged in strategic land sales, optimizing the use of its vast land holdings.
Among its recent achievements, Alico reported a net income of $42.9 million for the first fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023, primarily driven by a significant land sale to the State of Florida. The company has also secured a new supply agreement with Tropicana, ensuring a steady and profitable relationship through July 2027 at favorable pricing terms.
Despite challenges such as hurricanes and citrus greening, Alico has demonstrated resilience, leveraging insurance proceeds and federal relief to maintain strong financial health. As of March 31, 2024, Alico reported a robust balance sheet with a working capital ratio of 2.55 to 1.00 and substantial available credit.
Alico's commitment to sustainability and innovation is evident in its ongoing application of Oxytetracycline (OTC) treatments to combat citrus greening and improve fruit quality. The company's strategic initiatives, including new farming leases and land sales, reflect its adaptive approach to maximizing shareholder value.
With over 125 years of experience, Alico continues to be a leader in Florida agriculture, constantly evaluating its real estate portfolio for the highest and best use, ensuring long-term growth and stability for its investors.

Alico Inc (Nasdaq: ALCO) announced a strategic transformation to become a diversified land company, winding down its Alico Citrus division after the current 2025 harvest. The company owns approximately 53,371 acres across eight Florida counties and 48,700 acres of mineral rights.
The decision comes after citrus production declined 73% over the last decade due to citrus greening disease and hurricane damage. The company will focus on non-citrus agricultural opportunities and real estate development, with approximately 75% of land holdings remaining in agriculture and 25% having potential for commercial and residential development.
Management estimates current landholdings could be worth $650-750 million. Approximately 3,460 citrus acres will be managed by third-party caretakers through 2026. The company expects positive cash flow for the remainder of the fiscal year and sufficient cash reserves for at least two additional years without additional land sales.
Alico Inc. (NASDAQ: ALCO) reported financial results for fiscal year 2024, with net income of $7.0 million and EBITDA of $29.7 million.

However, an inventory impairment charge of $19.5 million was recognized due to lower-than-anticipated production estimates for 2024-2025. The company maintains a strong balance sheet with a working capital ratio of 3.81:1 and reduced debt-to-assets ratio of 0.23:1. Available credit under revolving line increased to $86.6 million with extended maturity to 2034.

Alico, Inc. reports minimal tree damage from Hurricane Milton, with no employee casualties. The company's 48,000 acres of citrus groves across seven Florida counties experienced varying wind intensities. Initial assessments show measurable fruit drop in northern groves, particularly in Polk and Hardee County. Most trees remain intact, suggesting the storm's impact will affect current season production rather than long-term output. No significant flooding occurred, and office headquarters and equipment were largely unaffected.
Alico maintains crop insurance for catastrophic events but damage may not be sufficient for claims. The company will seek federal, state, and local assistance for recovery. Alico plans to fulfill its fruit supply contracts with Tropicana, Peace River, and Florida's Natural. Recently, Alico amended its Credit Agreement, increasing its revolving line of credit from $25 million to $95 million and extending the maturity date to May 1, 2034.
