    来源: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 06 12月 2023 15:05:01   America/Chicago

    FORT MYERS, Fla., Dec. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alico, Inc. (“Alico” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ALCO) today announces financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the highlights of which are as follows:

    • The Company's groves have been recovering from the impact of Hurricane Ian since September 2022.
    • The Company reports net income attributable to Alico, Inc. common stockholders of $1.8 million and EBITDA of $23.0 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. After adjusting for certain non-recurring items, the Company reports adjusted net loss attributable to Alico, Inc. common stockholders of $(24.5) million and Adjusted EBITDA $(16.1) million for the year ended September 30, 2023.
    • Land sales continued during the 2023 fiscal year, with the Company selling approximately 2,255 acres for approximately $12.0 million.
    • The Company had approximately $70.0 million of undrawn credit available under its two lines of credit as of September 30, 2023.
    • The Company maintains a strong balance sheet with a working capital ratio of 3.90 to 1.00, and has maintained its debt ratio at 0.30 to 1.00 for the 2023 fiscal year, as compared to 0.27 to 1.00 for the 2022 fiscal year.

    Results of Operations

    For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the Company reported net income attributable to Alico common stockholders of $1.8 million, compared to net income attributable to Alico common stockholders of $12.5 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, relating to cost increases in fertilizer, herbicide, labor, and fuel used in maintaining its groves. These cost increases, combined with decreased revenue because of lower box production for both the Early and Mid-Season and the Valencia harvest, resulted in a higher cost of sales per box as compared to the same period in the prior year. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the Company had earnings of $0.24 per diluted common share, compared to earnings of $1.65 per diluted common share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.

    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 adjustment, the Company had an adjusted net loss of $(3.23) per diluted common share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, compared to an adjusted net income of $(0.21) per diluted common share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $(16.1) million and $13.4 million, respectively.

    The Company reported the following financial results:

    (1) “EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA” are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this earnings release for details regarding these measures, including reconciliations of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures presented in this release to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

    These quarterly financial results also reflect the seasonal nature of the Company’s business. 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 and the Company’s working capital requirements are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year.

    Alico Citrus Division Results

    Citrus production for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is summarized in the following table.

    For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, Alico Citrus harvested 2.7 million boxes of fruit, a decrease of 51.5% from the prior year. This rate of decline in harvested production was substantially better than the USDA citrus report for the industry. The USDA reported a 61.7% decline in the total orange crop for the 2022-2023 harvest season, as compared to the prior year. As anticipated, the Company saw its average realized price per pound solids rise from $2.63 per pound solids in the prior fiscal year to $2.70 per pound solids in fiscal year 2023. The Company anticipates market prices in the upcoming 2023-2024 harvest season to be consistent or slightly above this past season’s market prices largely due to continued consumption of not-from-concentrate orange juice by retail consumers, low levels of inventory stocks at the juice processors and a tighter global supply for oranges.

    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.

    Income from operations for the Land Management and Other Operations Division decreased for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, by $0.5 million, compared to the prior year. This decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in the leased acreage relating to grazing and hunting leases, due to land sales.

    Management Comment

    John Kiernan, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented:

    During 2023, Alico was recovering from the aftermath of Hurricane Ian that occurred in September 2022, which damaged half of our crops intended for the 2023 harvest season, and our financial results were disappointing as we expected. The approximately $28.2 million of insurance proceeds that we received during the fiscal year were used to help maintain our grove caretaking programs for our approximately 49,000 citrus acres located across 7 counties in Florida so that Alico will be ready to harvest a healthy citrus crop in 2023-24. We continue to hope to receive federal disaster relief funds from the Consolidated Appropriations Act that was passed into law December 2022, although we cannot determine the amount of relief we may be eligible for, or the timing of any possible relief fund payments. Alico continues to support Florida Citrus Mutual, our industry trade group, as well as government officials and agencies, as they work to finalize federal relief programs for this 2022 storm. Although our 2023-24 harvesting activities are just beginning now, we are confident that Alico’s crop recovery this season will be significant because of our exceptional caretaking practices and the maturity of over 2 million trees planted by the Company since 2017. In addition, over 35% of our trees have now been treated with an oxytetracycline (“OTC”) injection since January 2023 to combat citrus greening, with the goal to improve fruit quality and decrease the fruit drop rate. The full extent of its benefits will not be measurable until after the 2023-24 harvest.

    On September 18, 2023, Alico signed a contract with the State of Florida to sell the remaining 17,229 acres of the Alico Ranch for approximately $77.6 million. The deal is anticipated to close by February 2024. Once closed, we will have sold a total of approximately 69,000 acres of the Alico Ranch for approximately $226 million to more than 25 buyers since 2018. Plans for the use of the proceeds are being finalized, with reducing balances on our working capital credit line incurred during Hurricane Ian as a priority, as well as repayment of variable rate debt balances without penalty and for general corporate purposes. It is possible that net operating losses over the past two years will shield a significant amount of the expected gain on the pending ranch sale, and it is also possible that the if proceeds are used to repay variable debt balances, the Company‘s net debt balances could range between $75 million and $80 million at the end of fiscal year 2024, which is a substantial decrease from the $127.6 million net debt balance at September 30, 2023.

    Alico is proud to share that in fiscal year 2024 it has already partnered with another large citrus grower to manage approximately 3,300 acres of their citrus groves, with all expenses reimbursed and a management fee paid to us for our services.

    Outside of our citrus operations, Alico recently concluded its work with land-use planning professionals in Florida evaluating the long-term potential highest and best use of our real estate assets. To be clear, Alico will continue to conduct our regular citrus operations at all of our groves for years to come, but the work of those land-planning professionals led to a decision by Alico to commence the multi-year entitlement process for a 4,500-acre grove near Fort Myers, in Collier County. We plan on continuing citrus operations there, while considering options for the most profitable use of the property.

    All Alico shareholder litigation related to the balance sheet restatement last December has been voluntarily dismissed, without prejudice, by the plaintiffs.

    Alico has over 125 years of experience as a leader in Florida agriculture and land management. We will continue evaluating all of our properties to explore creative solutions to enhance and extract value. We seek to provide our investors with the benefits and stability of a conventional agriculture investment, with the optionality that comes with active land management.

    Other Corporate Financial Information

    General and administrative expense for the year ended September 30, 2023 was $10.6 million, compared to $10.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2022. The increase was principally attributable to an increase in legal and professional fees, as compared to the same period last year.

    Other income, net, for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $6.7 million and $37.8 million, respectively. The decrease in other income, net was primarily due to fewer land sales, which resulted in lower gains on sales of $11.5 million during the year ended September 30, 2023, from $41.1 million for the prior year period.

    Dividend

    On October 13, 2023, 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 29, 2023.

    Balance Sheet and Liquidity

    The Company continues to demonstrate financial strength within its balance sheet, as highlighted below:

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, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income per Diluted Common Share 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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.
