The majority of the Company’s citrus crop is 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 are typically recognized in those quarters. However, due to the timing of the 2023-2024 harvest, more of the citrus crop was harvested in the first and second quarters of the 2024 fiscal year. Furthermore, the Company’s working capital requirements are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year.

Management Comment
John Kiernan, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented:
To begin, I want to recognize that Alico has over 125 years of experience as a leader in Florida agriculture and land management. We have repeatedly stated that Alico seeks to provide our investors with the benefits and stability of a conventional agriculture investment, with the optionality that comes with active land management. We own approximately 53,371 acres of land across eight counties in Florida, as well as approximately 48,700 acres of oil, gas and mineral rights in the state.
Since 2022, Alico has continued to face challenges in recovering from the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. More than half of our crops dropped before harvesting in fiscal years 2023 and fiscal year 2024 fruit production did not return to pre-Ian levels. These lower levels of production remain a concern to management as we begin to harvest the 2024-2025 crops, and the Company is evaluating our performance daily.
We are unable to forecast the size of the 2024-2025 crops at this time, and cannot provide any financial forecast for this fiscal year until we have greater visibility about our expected revenues. However, Alico is committed to focusing on operating income potential, protecting our balance sheet and preserving our capital to ensure that we have adequate financial resources to invest in the business so that Alico can continue to provide competitive returns for our stockholders.
Lower production for Early and Mid-Season and Valencia harvests this season resulted in lower levels of pounds solid being produced, which required the Company to write-down
On October 9, 2024, Hurricane Milton impacted most of our citrus groves with sustained hurricane or tropical storm force winds for varying durations of time. The Company believes that our groves sustained minimal tree damage; however, there was measurable fruit drop from trees in our northern groves, particularly in Polk and Hardee Counties. At this time, it is not possible to reliably estimate the amount of additional fruit drop, if any, that may occur as a result of Hurricane Milton.
As Alico reported previously, the Company entered into a new three-year Orange Purchase Agreement to sell oranges to Tropicana at prices that are approximately
Despite the recent challenges in our citrus operations, we remain optimistic about the future success of Alico. In December 2023, we completed our sale of 17,229 acres of the Alico Ranch to the State of Florida for
In addition, in September 2024 we amended our Credit Agreement with MetLife which increases our financial flexibility by extending the maturity of our RLOC until May 1, 2034 and demonstrates the continued support and confidence in Alico by MetLife. We believe that the RLOC provides us with ample liquidity, should we need it, to manage significant weather events; as well as to ensure that we have time and capital to realize the long-term highest and best use of our real estate assets.
We are continuing to evaluate all of our properties to enhance and build value for our stockholders. The multi-year entitlement process which we began in 2023 for our 4,500-acre grove near Fort Myers, in Collier County is proceeding well under the leadership of our Executive Vice President of Real Estate. While there is considerable work yet to be done, the Company has made significant progress including, but not limited to, the completion of environmental assessments, the development of conservation strategies, the preparation of market assessments to facilitate planning and beginning to conduct selective stakeholder outreach efforts.
In addition, other real estate properties in Polk, Highlands and Hendry County are also being considered for potential transactions. The Company remains committed to considering all options for the most profitable use of all the land in our portfolio.

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. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization and adjustments for non-recurring transactions or transactions that are not indicative of our core operating results, such as gains or losses on sales of real estate, property and equipment and assets held for sale. Net Debt is defined as Current portion of long-term debt, Long-term debt, net and Lines of credit, less cash and cash equivalents.
