Limoneira's operational metrics show strategic positioning in high-value segments. The achievement of 15.1 million pounds in avocado sales demonstrates excellent execution in this premium category. Fresh lemon performance was mixed, with Q4 showing lower volumes (470,000 cartons vs 550,000) and reduced pricing (
The company's expansion into foodservice and QSR channels for lemons, coupled with enhanced third-party sourcing, indicates a robust growth strategy. The 1,000 acres of non-bearing lemons and avocados coming online over 4-5 years provides significant organic growth potential. However, investors should note the cyclical nature of avocado production affecting near-term volumes.
The real estate component shows remarkable progress with the Harvest at Limoneira project. The completion of Phase 1 and 2 sales, totaling 1,261 residential units, demonstrates strong execution. The recent approval to increase total residential units from 1,500 to 2,050 significantly enhances the project's value proposition.

Management Comments
Harold Edwards, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “Our achievement of solid lemon revenue and record avocado production, reaching 15.1 million pounds of avocados sold in 2024, demonstrates the inherent strength of our agricultural platform and validates our strategic focus on this high-value segment. The exceptional performance in avocados reinforces our strategic decision to expand our avocado production by 1,000 acres through fiscal year 2027, a transformation that is expected to drive significant EBITDA growth. In addition, our lemon offering is achieving increased penetration in the foodservice and quick service restaurant channels, and we expect more meaningful market penetration in fiscal 2025. We anticipate that further growth will come from enhanced sourcing of third-party lemons, alongside the significant monetization potential of our water and real estate assets. Our compelling portfolio of agricultural and real estate assets, together with our valuable water resources and strong balance sheet, create multiple pathways intended to build lasting shareholder value."
Mr. Edwards continued, “Our Harvest at Limoneira residential real estate joint venture with the Lewis Group of Companies (“Lewis”) continues to perform very well and we also anticipate meaningful water monetization transactions in fiscal year 2025. In addition, we continue to explore strategic alternatives for our assets and are very pleased with the interest. We remain committed to thoroughly exploring all options to maximize stockholder value and will provide updates if the board of directors finds that further disclosure is necessary or advisable.”

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 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Due to significant depreciable assets associated with the nature of the Company’s operations and interest costs associated with our capital structure, management believes that earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and adjusted EBITDA, which excludes stock-based compensation, pension settlement cost, impairment of intangible asset, (gain) loss on disposal of assets, net, cash bonus related to sale of assets, gain on legal settlement and severance benefits are important measures to evaluate our results of operations between periods on a more comparable basis. Such measurements are not prepared in accordance with
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are summarized and reconciled to net (loss) income attributable to Limoneira Company, which management considers to be the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, as follows (in thousands):
