Insights
Alico's Q1 FY2025 results mark a pivotal transformation in its business model, with several key financial implications for investors. The company's strategic shift from capital-intensive citrus operations to a diversified land company is supported by robust liquidity metrics. The current ratio of 4.84:1 demonstrates exceptional short-term solvency, while the conservative debt-to-assets ratio of 0.26 provides significant financial flexibility.
The anticipated
While the
The decision to exit citrus operations after the 2025 harvest represents a strategic pivot from a capital-intensive, weather-dependent business to a more stable land management model. This transformation should lead to more predictable cash flows and potentially higher margins, as evidenced by the reduction in operating expenses in the Land Management segment.

Company Executing Strategic Transformation to Become Diversified Land Company; Concludes Capital Investment on Citrus Operations After Current Crop is Harvested in 2025
FORT MYERS, Fla., Feb. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alico, Inc. (“Alico”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) (Nasdaq: ALCO) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended December 31, 2024.
Management Comments
John Kiernan, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “During the first fiscal quarter, operational results reflected the ongoing challenges in our citrus division, with lower levels year-over-year of pounds solid being produced. Current season production trends, coupled with persistent impacts of citrus greening disease and environmental factors, indicate that our total harvest volume for fiscal 2025 will likely be lower than fiscal 2024. These continued production challenges reinforced our recent strategic decision to wind down Alico’s citrus operations because they are not economically viable. Looking ahead to the remainder of fiscal 2025, we expect to complete our final citrus harvest while positioning the Company for its next chapter.”
Mr. Kiernan continued, “As previously announced in early January, we are executing our strategic transformation to become a diversified land company, balancing alternative agricultural operations with strategic land monetization opportunities. By exiting capital-intensive citrus production, we strengthen our financial position. We are also in the process of advancing several land sales currently in negotiations which are expected to generate approximately

These quarterly financial results also reflect the seasonal nature of the Company’s business. The majority of the Company’s citrus crop is typically harvested in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year; consequently, most of the Company’s gross profit and cash flows from operating activities has been recognized in those quarters in the past. However, due to the timing of the previous year harvest, more of the citrus crop was harvested in the first and second quarters of the previous fiscal year. Furthermore, the Company’s working capital requirements are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year; however, as the harvest cycles have moved, our working capital requirements have been greater in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the measurements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), Alico utilizes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Debt, which are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, to evaluate the performance of its business. Due to significant depreciable assets associated with the nature of our operations and, to a lesser extent, interest costs associated with our capital structure, management believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Debt are important measures to evaluate our results of operations between periods on a more comparable basis and to help investors analyze underlying trends in our business, evaluate the performance of our business both on an absolute basis and relative to our peers and the broader market, provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and operational strength of our business and help investors evaluate our ability to service our debt. Such measurements are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be construed as an alternative to reported results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP information provided is unique to Alico and may not be consistent with methodologies used by other companies.
