ALCO Alico Inc

Alico, Inc. (“Alico” or the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) (Nasdaq: ALCO) today announces financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, the highlights of which are as follows:

• The Company reports net income attributable to Alico, Inc. common stockholders of $7.0 million and EBITDA of $29.7 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. After adjusting for certain non-recurring items, the Company reports Adjusted EBITDA of $(3.8) million for the year ended September 30, 2024.
• Land sales continued during the 2024 fiscal year, with the Company selling approximately 18,354 acres for approximately $86.2 million in gross proceeds.
• The Company had approximately $86.6 million of undrawn credit available under its revolving line of credit (the “RLOC”) as of September 30, 2024.
• On September 17, 2024, Alico amended its Credit Agreement with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MetLife"), which, among other things (i) increased the borrowing capacity under the RLOC from $25 million to $95 million and (ii) extended the maturity date of the RLOC to May 1, 2034. This amendment replaced the Company’s $70 million working capital line of credit with Rabo Agrifinance, Inc., which was due to mature on November 1, 2025.
• The Company's initial estimates of production for the 2024-2025 harvest season were lower than anticipated and as a result, an inventory impairment charge of $19.5 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of the year ended September 30, 2024.
• The Company maintains a strong balance sheet with a working capital ratio of 3.81 to 1.00, and has maintained its debt to total assets ratio at 0.23 to 1.00 for the 2024 fiscal year, as compared to 0.30 to 1.00 for the 2023 fiscal year.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported net income attributable to Alico common stockholders of $7.0 million, compared to net income attributable to Alico common stockholders of $1.8 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net income is principally attributable to a gain of $81.4 million for the sale of land in the current year as compared to a gain of $11.4 million in the prior year, partially offset by an inventory impairment charge of $19.5 million in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 related to our 2024-2025 estimated harvest. In addition, our net income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 was positively impacted by inventory adjustments recorded at September 30, 2022, as a result of the impact of Hurricane Ian, which effectively lowered the inventory to be expensed in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, as well as $27.4 million in crop insurance proceeds, $0.8 million in property and casualty insurance reimbursements for Hurricane Ian, and $1.3 million in proceeds from federal relief proceeds received under the Florida Citrus Recovery Block Grant program in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, the Company had earnings of $0.91 per diluted common share, compared to earnings of $0.24 per diluted common share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

When both periods are adjusted for certain items, including gains on sale of real estate, federal relief proceeds from the 2017 Hurricane Irma and 2022 Hurricane Ian insurance proceeds and net realizable value adjustments, the Company had an Adjusted EBITDA loss for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 of $(3.8) million and $(16.1) million, respectively.

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.

Alico Citrus Division Results

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, Alico Citrus harvested 3.1 million boxes of fruit, an increase of 14.7% from the prior year. This rate of increase in harvested production was slightly better than the USDA citrus report for the industry. The USDA reported a 13.5% increase in the total orange crop for the 2023-2024 harvest season, as compared to the prior year. The Company also benefited by its average realized price per pound solids rising from $2.70 per pound solids in the prior fiscal year to $2.81 per pound solids in fiscal year 2024, because of more favorable pricing in one of our contracts with Tropicana. The Company anticipates higher pricing in the upcoming 2024-2025 harvest season than the prior year because of a new citrus supply contract with Tropicana, which was signed in May 2024.

Land Management and Other Operations Division Results

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.

Gross profit for the Land Management and Other Operations Division decreased for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, by $0.1 million, compared to the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in hunting and grazing lease revenue due to the sales of portions of the Alico Ranch, which resulted in the reduction of land covered under our hunting and grazing lease contracts.

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 $28.5 million of total inventory related to our 2023-2024 harvest and $19.5 million of total inventory related to our 2024-2025 harvest.

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 33% to 50% higher, over the life of the contract, than the average price for all the citrus fruit sold to Tropicana last season. In addition, in 2024 we treated nearly all of our producing trees with an oxytetracycline or (“OTC”) injection to combat citrus greening, approximately 35% of which have now been treated for a second time. Our decisions to treat our trees with OTC were supported by scientific research which indicated that the benefits of OTC trunk injections include a decrease in fruit drop, improved fruit quality and mitigating some of the impacts from citrus greening. We have and will continue to apply to the Florida Citrus Research and Field Trial Foundation for grant monies to offset the costs of these OTC injections. In January of 2024, we received grants that covered substantially all of the OTC-application costs incurred in fiscal year 2023 and to date we have received approximately 35% of the money spent during fiscal year 2024. We have applications pending that would cover the rest of our fiscal year 2024 treatment costs.

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 $77.6 million in gross proceeds, which we used to repay all of our outstanding borrowings under our line of credit and $19.1 million Met Life Variable-Rate Term debt, thereby strengthening our balance sheet and reducing our required principal payments through fiscal year 2029 to less than $1.5 million per year.

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.

Other Corporate Financial Information

General and administrative expense for the year ended September 30, 2024 was $11.1 million, compared to $10.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2023. The increase was principally attributable to an increase in personnel costs, partially offset by lower depreciation, legal and professional fees due to the dismissal of the shareholder litigation in 2023 and lower insurance costs, as compared to the same period last year.

Other income, net, for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $78.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The increase in other income, net was primarily due to an increase in land sales (including 17,229 acres of the Alico Ranch to the State of Florida for approximately $77.6 million in gross proceeds) during the year ended September 30, 2024, compared to $11.5 million for the prior year period.

Dividend

On October 11, 2024, the Company paid a fourth quarter cash dividend of $0.05 per share on its outstanding common stock to stockholders of record as of September 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 $30.0 million at September 30, 2024, representing a 3.81 to 1.00 current ratio.
• The Company maintains a solid debt to total assets ratio. At September 30, 2024 and 2023, the ratios were 0.23 to 1.00 and 0.30 to 1.00, respectively.
• Available borrowings under our line of credit was approximately $86.6 million, at September 30, 2024.

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.
