Insights

Financial Analyst

Limoneira's Q1 FY2025 results reveal a 31% improvement in operating loss to $5.3 million despite a 13.6% revenue decline to $34.3 million. This mixed performance demonstrates the company's transition toward an asset-lighter business model is yielding operating efficiencies, with agribusiness costs down 14% year-over-year.

The revenue decline primarily stems from lower lemon pricing, with fresh packed lemons selling at $18.44 per carton versus $21.06 in Q1 FY2024, reflecting what management describes as a "temporary oversupplied lemon market." Despite this headwind, the company maintained stable lemon volume at 1.14 million cartons.

Importantly, Limoneira's diversification strategy shows progress with a $1.5 million gain from water rights monetization and improved orange pricing at $20.91 per carton versus $14.26 last year. The adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed significantly to $2.3 million from $4.8 million.

However, the balance sheet shows increased leverage, with long-term debt rising to $57.9 million from $40.0 million at fiscal year-end 2024, resulting in a net debt position of $56.8 million. This increased leverage warrants monitoring, though the company's joint venture with Lewis maintains substantial liquidity with $62.4 million in cash.

The continued execution of residential unit sales in their real estate development and water rights monetization demonstrates progress in their asset monetization pipeline, potentially providing future cash flow to strengthen the balance sheet.

Agriculture Industry Expert

Limoneira's Q1 results highlight both structural improvements and ongoing agricultural market challenges. The 31% reduction in operating losses demonstrates meaningful progress in operational efficiency despite facing an oversupplied lemon market.

The company's strategic shift toward an asset-lighter model is showing tangible benefits in their cost structure. Their multi-channel approach to the citrus business, particularly expanding relationships with quick-service restaurants, provides valuable diversification beyond traditional produce markets which typically experience higher volatility.

The early-stage avocado revenue ($162,000) represents a small but growing segment that could become increasingly significant as their 1,000 acres of non-bearing lemons and avocados mature over the next 4-5 years. The company's plan to expand avocado plantings by another 1,000 acres through FY2027 represents a substantial commitment to this higher-margin crop.

Particularly noteworthy is Limoneira's monetization of water rights at $30,000 per acre-foot, highlighting the often-overlooked value of agricultural water rights in water-stressed regions like California. This strategy of extracting value from water assets while simultaneously operating agricultural businesses represents sophisticated resource management.

The reduction in farm management revenues to $1.2 million from $2.0 million warrants attention, though management attributes this to weather and crop condition decisions rather than lost clients. Their strategic repositioning of farm management services as a technology partner rather than competitor to other service providers demonstrates adaptation to market realities.

Operating Loss Improved 31% in First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2025 Compared to Prior Year

Agribusiness Operating Loss Improved 17% and Agribusiness Costs and Expenses Decreased 14% in First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2025 Compared to Prior Year

Monetized Portion of Premium Water Rights for Total Proceeds of $1.7 Million

Reiterates Lemon and Avocado Volume Guidance for Fiscal Year 2025

SANTA PAULA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Limoneira Company (the “Company” or “Limoneira”) (Nasdaq: LMNR), a diversified citrus growing, packing, selling and marketing company with related agribusiness activities and real estate development operations, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended January 31, 2025.

Management Comments

Harold Edwards, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “The benefits of optimizing our revenue mix and transitioning to an asset-lighter model are evident in our financial results through decreased operating expenses and year-over-year financial improvement even though our first quarter revenue reflects the temporary oversupplied lemon market. Our multi-faceted approach – an asset-lighter business model, land and water monetization, expansion of avocado production, and growing our citrus business through multiple channels including quick serve restaurants – has strengthened our financial structure. This quarter’s results validate our longstanding commitment to a balanced portfolio that is designed to withstand temporary volatility in the lemon market.”

Mr. Edwards continued, “Through our exploration of strategic alternatives, we’re gaining valuable insights that are sharpening our focus on key value drivers for sustainable stockholder value. This evaluation exercise is enabling us to implement improvements across our entire operation. For example, we’re actively repositioning our farm management services division as the industry’s premier technology and expertise partner, offering cutting-edge agriculture solutions that enhance rather than compete with farm management service providers – which will expand our market reach and build stronger collaborative relationships throughout the agricultural ecosystem. Additionally, we’re building strong momentum this year with our land use conversion and water monetization initiatives. This is demonstrated by our January announcement of three separate water rights monetization transactions, with additional water monetization opportunities expected to materialize later this year. We anticipate further growth through enhanced sourcing of third-party lemons and expansion of avocado production, alongside the continued monetization of our water and real estate assets. Our compelling portfolio of agriculture and real estate assets, together with our valuable water resources and strong balance sheet, create multiple pathways to build lasting stockholder value.”

Real Estate Development and Water Transactions

In October 2023, the Company’s joint venture completed the sell-out of Phase 1 of the development. In April 2024, the joint venture closed on lot sales representing 554 residential units, thus completing the sell-out of Phase 2 of the development. Total lot sales of 1,261 residential units closed since the project’s inception. In May 2024, the Company announced that the Santa Paula City Council approved the proposal brought by the joint venture to increase the total number of residential units for the project from 1,500 to 2,050 units. The 550-unit increase will provide 250 additional single family for-sale homesites within Phase 3 of Harvest. A separate joint venture with Lewis plans to construct 300 multi-family rental homes on a mixed-use portion of the project.

In January 2025, the Company sold water pumping rights in the Santa Paula Basin for $30,000 per-acre foot in three separate transactions. The total selling price was $1.7 million, and the Company recorded a gain on sales of water rights of $1.5 million.

Guidance

The Company continues to expect fresh lemon volumes to be in the range of 5.0 million to 5.5 million cartons for fiscal year 2025. The Company continues to expect avocado volumes to be in the range of 7.0 million to 8.0 million pounds for fiscal year 2025.

The Company expects to receive total proceeds of $180 million from Harvest, LLCB II, LLC and East Area II spread out over seven fiscal years, with approximately $15 million received in fiscal year 2024.

Projected Distributions		$15		$8		$18		$34		$41		$22		$42

The Company has 1,000 acres of non-bearing lemons and avocados estimated to become full bearing over the next four to five years, which the Company expects will enable strong organic growth in the coming years. Additionally, the Company plans to continue expanding its plantings of avocados over the next three years and expects to have an increase in third-party grower lemons. The foregoing describes organic growth opportunities and does not include potential acquisition opportunities for the Company in its highly fragmented industry.

Looking ahead, we continue to see a strong EBITDA outlook that is underpinned by plans to expand avocado production by 1,000 acres through fiscal year 2027 to capitalize on expected robust consumer demand trends. During this transition, the Company expects fiscal year 2025 avocado volume to be lower compared to fiscal year 2024 due to the alternate bearing nature of avocado trees. These operational results do not take into account anticipated additional gains from asset monetization.
