CEO COMMENTS:
“Our organization worked tirelessly in fiscal 2020 to support the acceleration of growth at Lifecore and to stabilize operations at Curation Foods. Lifecore delivered high-margin revenue growth during fiscal 2020, resulting from its attractive competitive position as a fully integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO). We believe Lifecore is poised to continue on its growth trajectory based on industry trends, customer demand and its robust business development pipeline,” said Dr. Albert Bolles, Landec’s President and CEO. “As we transition to fiscal 2021, our Curation Foods business has the benefit of a much more efficient organization that was the result of our decisive actions that have been implemented to date as part of Project SWIFT. Despite the negative effects from the COVID-19 pandemic at Curation Foods during the fiscal fourth quarter, we were still able to generate a significant improvement in Curation Foods’ profitability in the second half of fiscal 2020. In fiscal 2021, we will be further leveraging the benefits we have derived to date from Project SWIFT, as well as implementing measures that build on and advance Curation Foods’ momentum in delivering more consistent operating performance. In addition, we believe we have a plan in place to strategically grow Curation Foods’ existing business lines through consumer insight driven innovation. In fiscal 2021, with Lifecore positioned to resume steady adjusted EBITDA growth, with Curation Foods’ adjusted EBITDA expected to increase significantly, and with both operations supported by disciplined capital management, we are executing our plan to build a sustainable profitable future for our employees and our shareholders.”

Lifecore Biomedical Business Update:
CDMO partner Heron Therapeutics’ ZYNRELEF™ (formerly known as HTX-011) Candidate Received Positive Opinion from European Medicines Agency
Lifecore is the Company’s CDMO business focused on product development and manufacturing of sterile injectable products. Lifecore continues to expand its presence in the CDMO marketplace by finding additional opportunities to partner with biopharmaceutical and medical device companies.
On July 24, 2020, Heron Therapeutics (“Heron”) announced that it received a positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Product for Human Use (CHMP), which adopted a positive opinion and a recommendation for the granting of a marketing authorization for treatment of post-operative pain in Europe. ZYNRELEF is a non-opioid, dual-acting, fixed dose combination of the local anesthetic bupivacaine with a low dose of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug meloxicam.
Jim Hall, Lifecore’s President, commented, “We are excited about this development and congratulate the Heron team on their achieving this major regulatory milestone, which will help relieve postoperative pain for a vast patient population across Europe. Lifecore has been a proud partner of Heron for many years, providing process development and support throughout the regulatory approval process for ZYNRELEF. Moving forward, Lifecore will continue to support Heron in its FDA approval process and look forward to future positive outcomes.”
Lifecore Biomedical Key Initiatives:
- Business Development Pipeline Progress:
Business development revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 increased5.8% year-over-year. Lifecore currently has 16 projects in its total development pipeline. The projects are generally equally disbursed across the various stages of the product development lifecycle, spanning from early phase clinical development to pre-commercial validation, which aligns with the business’ overall CDMO development strategy. - Maximizing Capacity:
Maximum theoretical manufacturing capacity in fiscal 2020 increased to 22 million units from 17.5 million units with demand of approximately 6.5 million units. Based on commercialization timing estimates for the products within the development pipeline, Lifecore intends to have the capacity to fulfill customer demand for up to 22 million units in the next 3 to 4 years. Lifecore also has the ability to increase manufacturing capacity at its current location to 30 million units annually. - Advancing Product Commercialization:
Lifecore currently expects one product in development to be approved by the FDA for commercialization in calendar year 2020 and the commercialization of one to two products annually.
Curation Foods:
Concludes strategic review of legacy core vegetable and tray business and sells salad dressing facility for
Curation Foods is the Company’s natural food business. Curation Foods will continue seeking to deliver the highest level of product quality and safety, while executing with excellence on its customer, grower and partner commitments.
To date, the Company has announced actions with Project SWIFT, its value creation program that aims to strengthen the Curation Foods business by simplifying the business, and estimates that it will provide total annualized cost savings of approximately
- Focus on Strategic Assets:
Conclusion of Strategic Review for Legacy Vegetable Bag and Tray:
Following a thorough review of the available strategic alternatives with respect to its legacy vegetable bag and tray business, management and the Board of Directors have determined that retaining this business is the best approach to take advantage of operational efficiencies that have already been realized, and allows the Company to meet key strategic customer demand with a full line of fresh plant-based products. The Company anticipates this business will approximate$100 million to$110 million in revenue in fiscal 2021. Management has reset the gross margin structure associated with this business, and as a result, believes that it will generate positive adjusted EBITDA contributions in fiscal 2021.
Non-Core Asset Divestitures:
The Company continues to drive toward a simplification of the Curation Foods business through evaluating potential opportunities to divest non-core assets. Management announced today the assignment of the lease and sale of corresponding assets related to its yet-to-be-operational salad dressing facility in Ontario, CA in exchange for$4.8 million in cash. As previously announced, the Company is in the process of exploring a sale of its Hanover, PA manufacturing operations. - Network & Operational Optimization:
The Company has completed its consolidation and centralization of the Curation Foods offices into its Innovation Center headquarters in Santa Maria, CA in order to maximize efficiency and productivity. In addition, the Company has improved plant operations by implementing lean manufacturing practices. - Organizational Redesign:
The Company continues to evaluate and make changes to Curation Foods structural organization so that it can be competitive with industry benchmarks and appropriate for the Company’s future direction, with a focus on strategic initiatives, developing and elevating internal talent and reducing headcount.
UPDATE REGARDING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
There are many uncertainties regarding the current novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, including the scope of scientific and health issues, the anticipated duration of the pandemic, and the extent of local and worldwide social, political, and economic disruption it may cause. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, meaningful adverse impacts on many aspects of the Company’s operations, directly and indirectly, including with respect to its impacts on customer behaviors, business and manufacturing operations, inventory, the Company’s employees, and the market generally, and the scope and nature of these impacts continue to evolve each day. The Company expects to continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and intends to make adjustments to its responses accordingly.
BALANCE SHEET & AMENDED CREDIT AGREEMENT:
As previously announced, on July 15, 2020, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Credit Agreement which provided a limited default waiver with respect to the Company’s noncompliance under its credit agreement through the most recent fiscal period. The amendment also increases the Company’s permitted exclusions for certain unusual, extraordinary or one-time cash items for purposes of calculating EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ending February 28, 2021 and thereafter (other than for purposes of calculating the applicable interest rate) from
FISCAL 2021 OUTLOOK:
Excluding restructuring and other nonrecurring charges, tax implications and any potential impact from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is introducing its full year fiscal 2021 guidance, which is detailed below with growth figures that are compared to fiscal 2020:
Revenue from continuing operations:
- Consolidated Revenues: range of
$530 million to$550 million (-10% to -7% ) - Lifecore: range of
$93 million to$97 million (+8% to +13% ) - Curation Foods: range of
$437 million to$453 million (-13% to -10% )
Adjusted EBITDA:
- Consolidated: range of
$33 million to$37 million (+50% to +68% ) - Lifecore: range of
$22.5 million to$24.5 million (+12% to +22% ) - Curation Foods: range of
$12 million to$14 million (+181% to +238% )
Seasonality:
- From a revenue perspective, the Company anticipates minimal quarterly variation due to seasonality for both Lifecore and Curation Foods. At Lifecore, this is the result of a coordinated effort to work with customers on shipment timing. From an adjusted EBITDA perspective, the Company anticipates minimal quarterly variation due to seasonality for the fiscal second, third, and fourth quarters during which both Lifecore and Curation Foods are expected to deliver normalized gross and adjusted EBITDA margins. For the fiscal first quarter, the Company anticipates that it will experience margin related headwinds associated with expected seasonal plant closures at its avocado products manufacturing operation during the summer off-season, which lowers fixed cost absorption for Curation Foods. At Lifecore, in fiscal first quarter the business is experiencing temporary margin compression associated with sell through of its higher cost inventory that resulted from the fiscal fourth quarter 2020 COVID-19 manufacturing inefficiencies, which have since been corrected and are not expected to impact future quarters.
Brian McLaughlin, Chief Financial Officer commented, “We are introducing fiscal 2021 guidance, which demonstrates our expectation for a return to strong adjusted EBITDA growth at Lifecore, even with its first quarter margin pressure due to higher cost inventory related to COVID-19 and for improved quarterly EBITDA contributions from Curation Foods following the operational improvements that we made in fiscal 2020. At Curation Foods, full year guidance implies an approximate 300 basis point lift in gross margin versus fiscal 2020, achieving the low-end of the steady-state targets we communicated to previously. The drivers for the gross margin improvement are the anticipated turnaround of our avocado products business, the cost-out improvements in our manufacturing operations, the partial year benefit from the closure of our Hanover facility, and the improved margin structure of our legacy vegetable bag and tray business which now generates approximately

Non-GAAP Financial Information and Reconciliations
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net income per share are non-GAAP financial measures. We define EBITDA as earnings before the fair market value change of the Company’s investment in Windset, interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. We define as adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before certain restructuring and other non-recurring charges and before impairment of goodwill and intangibles charges. We define adjusted diluted net income per share as diluted net income per share before certain restructuring and other non-recurring charges, net of tax, and before impairment of goodwill and intangibles charges, net of tax. The table below presents the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their respective most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and other supplemental information. See “Non-GAAP Financial Information” above for further information regarding the Company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures.
