Alico Inc. (NASDAQ: ALCO) reported financial results for Q1 2024, showing a net loss of $9.2 million compared to a net income of $42.9 million in Q1 2023. Revenue increased 20.8% to $16.9 million, while earnings per share decreased to -$1.20 from $5.64 year-over-year.

The company is executing a strategic transformation to become a diversified land company and will conclude capital investment in citrus operations after the 2025 harvest. Citrus production decreased to 4.0 million pound solids from 4.7 million in the prior year due to Hurricane Milton impacts and ongoing challenges with citrus greening disease.

Alico expects to realize approximately $20 million in land sales in fiscal year 2025 and maintains strong liquidity with $73.5 million in available credit facilities. The company has no significant debt maturities until 2029 and ended the quarter with $4.4 million in cash and $104.9 million in total debt.

Alico prevede di realizzare circa 20 milioni di dollari dalla vendita di terreni nell'esercizio fiscale 2025 e mantiene una forte liquidità con 73,5 milioni di dollari in linee di credito disponibili.

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 $20 million in land sales for FY2025 represents a important element of Alico's transformation strategy. These proceeds, combined with the upcoming Valencia harvest revenues, are projected to sustain operations through FY2027, demonstrating thoughtful cash flow management. The company's debt structure is particularly favorable, with no significant maturities until 2029 and $73.5 million in unused credit facilities, providing a substantial financial buffer during the transition period.

While the $9.17 million quarterly loss might appear concerning, it's important to contextualize this against the seasonal nature of the business and the ongoing strategic transformation. The improved pricing in the citrus segment, with a 38.7% increase in price per pound solids, partially offsets the 13.3% decrease in production volume. This pricing strength, combined with the 44.5% increase in Land Management revenue, suggests the company's diversification strategy is already showing positive results.

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 $20 million in proceeds this fiscal year. These anticipated proceeds and cash generated by the Valencia harvest, which will begin next week, are expected to fund operations through fiscal 2027. Alico also has an additional $73.5 million in unused credit facilities available if needed. This transformation enables us to pursue commercial and residential development opportunities while maintaining diversified farming operations across our portfolio, positioning us to deliver enhanced returns for shareholders.”

For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company reported a net (loss) income attributable to Alico common stockholders of $(9.2) million and $42.9 million, respectively. The decrease in our net income attributable to Alico common stockholders for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was principally the result of there being no land sales in the current quarter, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023, in which we recognized a gain of $77.0 million, principally as a result of the sale of 17,229 acres of the Alico Ranch to the State of Florida for $77.6 million in gross proceeds. This was partially offset by a tax benefit of $(2.2) million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to a $15.6 million tax provision for the three months ended December 31, 2023. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company had a (loss) earnings of $(1.20) per diluted common share, compared to earnings of $5.64 per diluted common share for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had EBITDA of $(6.7) million and $63.8 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0.7 million and $(2.3) million, respectively.

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.

Business Segment Results

Alico Citrus

Citrus production for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is summarized in the following table.

(in thousands, except per box and per pound solids data)

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, Alico Citrus harvested approximately 4.0 million pound solids of fruit, compared to 4.7 million pound solids of fruit in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in pound solids harvested was driven by fruit drop caused by Hurricane Milton during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Our average price per pound solids for the three months ended December 31, 2024 increased $1.03, as compared to the same period of the prior year, as a result of more favorable pricing in one of our contracts with Tropicana.

Land Management and Other Operations

Land Management and Other Operations includes lease income from grazing rights leases, hunting leases, a farm lease, a lease to a third party of an aggregate mine, leases of oil extraction rights to third parties, and other miscellaneous income.

Land Management and Other Operations revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024 increased 44.5%, as compared to the same period in the prior year due to an increase in rock and sand royalty income and sod sales, partially offset by lower farm, grazing and hunting lease revenues due to the sale of the Alico Ranch.

The 84.2% decrease in operating expenses from Land Management and Other Operations for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023, was primarily due to lower property and real estate taxes as a result of the sale of the Alico Ranch.

Other Corporate Financial Information

General and administrative expense decreased $0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee costs (as a result of lower bonus accruals) and lower professional fees.

Other (Expense) Income, net for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was a loss of $0.6 million as compared to income of $75.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2023, principally as a result of there being no land sales in the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to gains of $77.0 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, driven by the sale of the Alico Ranch to the State of Florida.

Dividend

On December 13, 2024, the Company paid a first quarter cash dividend of $0.05 per share on its outstanding common stock to stockholders of record as of December 27, 2024.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

The Company continues to demonstrate financial strength within its balance sheet, as highlighted below:

  • The Company’s working capital was $32.4 million at December 31, 2024, representing a 4.84 to 1.00 current ratio.
  • The Company maintains a solid debt to total assets ratio. At December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the ratios were 0.26 to 1.00 and 0.23 to 1.00, respectively.
  • Total debt was $104.9 million and net debt was $100.5 million at December 31, 2024, compared to $92.1 million and $89.0 million, respectively, at September 30, 2024.
  • Available borrowings under the Company’s line of credit were approximately $73.5 million at December 31, 2024.

2025 Guidance

Based on current assessments, the Company expects harvest volumes in 2025 to be lower compared to 2024 levels.

The Company expects that it will realize approximately $20 million in land sales in fiscal year 2025, based upon transactions that are under option agreements or have been negotiated and are expected to close soon.

The Company expects to end fiscal year 2025 with enough cash to meet its operating expenses for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.

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.
