Limoneira Company Announces Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results

Achieved $48.1 Million of Revenue in Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2023 Despite Challenging Lemon and Avocado Pricing Environment

Company Successfully Executing Strategic Shift Toward Higher Margin “Asset-Lighter” Business Model

Net Debt Position Reduced to $31.5 Million at End of Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2023 from $105.0 Million at End of Fiscal Year 2022

Company Reiterates Lemon Volume Guidance and Lowers Avocado Volume Guidance for Fiscal 2023

SANTA PAULA, Calif.--()--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 second quarter ended April 30, 2023.

Management Comments

Harold Edwards, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “We decreased our net debt position by 70% since the beginning of fiscal 2023, driven by our strategic shift towards our higher margin, “asset-lighter” business model. We now expect total proceeds of $180 million from the sale of our identified six non-strategic assets and have successfully closed on the sale of four of these assets for a total of $130 million over the past nine months. We have made tremendous progress in a short time, advancing our strategy to monetize certain non-strategic assets, expand our One World of Citrus initiative and execute on Harvest at Limoneira. We expect the transition to an “asset-lighter” business model to be completed in the next 12 months.”

Mr. Edwards continued, “Results for the second quarter were impacted in a few of our growth areas by the highly publicized heavy rains in California delaying a portion of the lemon harvest into the third quarter, as well as softer pricing for lemons and avocados as markets continue to work through surplus inventory. Even with the recent rains, we continue to expect to achieve our full year fiscal 2023 lemon volume guidance. In addition, we are seeing increased interest in home sales for the residential development of our East Area I real estate development project, Harvest at Limoneira.”

Fiscal Year 2023 Second Quarter Results

For the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, total net revenue was $48.1 million, compared to total net revenue of $46.8 million in the second quarter of the previous fiscal year. Agribusiness revenue increased to $46.7 million, compared to $45.4 million in the second quarter of last fiscal year. In April 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Southern California Edison Company and Edison International to formally resolve any and all claims related to the Thomas Fire in fiscal year 2018. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company was awarded a total settlement of $9.0 million. In May 2023, the Company received approximately $6.1 million, net of legal and related costs, of which $3.8 million was recorded in agribusiness revenues and $2.3 million was recorded in gain on legal settlement in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. Other operations revenue was $1.4 million in both the second quarters of fiscal years 2023 and 2022.

Agribusiness revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 includes $26.6 million in fresh lemon sales, compared to $27.3 million of fresh lemon sales during the same period of fiscal year 2022. Lemon revenues in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 included settlement proceeds of $1.5 million allocated to lemons. Approximately 1,547,000 cartons of U.S. packed fresh lemons were sold in aggregate during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 at a $17.23 average price per carton, compared to approximately 1,552,000 cartons sold at a $17.57 average price per carton during the second quarter of fiscal year 2022. Of the 1,547,000 and 1,552,000 cartons of U.S. packed fresh lemons sold during the second quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively, 49% and 51%, respectively, were procured from third-party growers.

The Company recognized $3.6 million of avocado revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, similar to the same period last fiscal year. Avocado revenues in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 included settlement proceeds of $2.4 million allocated to avocados. Approximately 0.9 million pounds of avocados were sold in aggregate during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 at a $1.30 average price per pound, compared to approximately 1.9 million pounds sold at a $1.90 average price per pound during the second quarter of fiscal year 2022.

The Company recognized $1.4 million of orange revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, compared to $2.6 million in the same period of fiscal year 2022. Approximately 88,000 cartons of oranges were sold during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 at a $15.72 average price per carton, compared to approximately 328,000 cartons sold at a $7.98 average price per carton during the second quarter of fiscal year 2022. Specialty citrus and other revenue was $2.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, compared to $1.4 million in the same period of fiscal year 2022.

Total costs and expenses for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 were $51.9 million, compared to $44.2 million in the second quarter of last fiscal year. The increase of $7.8 million was primarily due to the Cadiz Ranch asset disposal. In April 2023, we determined that citrus farming operations were economically unviable on 670 acres of leased agricultural land at the Cadiz Ranch. As a result, we ceased farming operations, disposed of the related property, plant and equipment and recorded a loss on disposal of assets of $9.0 million as of April 30, 2023.

Operating loss for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $3.9 million, compared to operating income of $2.6 million in the second quarter of the previous fiscal year.

Net loss applicable to common stock, after preferred dividends, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $1.7 million, compared to net income applicable to common stock of $1.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022. Net loss per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $0.10, compared to net income per diluted share of $0.08 for the same period of fiscal year 2022.

Adjusted net income for diluted EPS in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $3.9 million or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 of $1.9 million or $0.11 per diluted share. A reconciliation of net (loss) income attributable to Limoneira Company to adjusted net income (loss) for diluted EPS is provided at the end of this release.

Adjusted EBITDA was $6.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, similar to the same period of fiscal year 2022. A reconciliation of net (loss) income attributable to Limoneira Company to adjusted EBITDA is provided at the end of this release.

Fiscal Year 2023 First Six Months Results

For the six months ended April 30, 2023, revenue was $86.0 million, similar to the same period last fiscal year. Operating income for the first six months of fiscal year 2023 was $22.0 million, compared to operating loss of $7.0 million in the same period last fiscal year. Net income applicable to common stock, after preferred dividends, was $13.8 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2023, compared to net loss applicable to common stock of $5.2 million in the same period last fiscal year. Net income per diluted share for the first six months of fiscal year 2023 was $0.75, compared to a net loss per diluted share of $0.30 in the same period of fiscal year 2022.

For the first six months of fiscal year 2023, adjusted net loss for diluted EPS was $5.3 million compared to adjusted net loss for diluted EPS of $3.8 million for the same period in fiscal year 2022. In the first six months of fiscal year 2023, adjusted net loss per diluted share was $0.30 compared to adjusted net loss per diluted share of $0.22 for the same period in fiscal year 2022, based on approximately 17.6 million and 17.5 million, respectively, adjusted weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

For the first half of fiscal year 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $18.4 million, compared to $1.2 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Net cash provided by investing activities was $95.4 million for the first half of fiscal year 2023, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $0.4 million in the same period last fiscal year. For the first half of fiscal year 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $68.0 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $2.3 million in the prior fiscal year.

On January 31, 2023, the Company sold its Northern Properties, which resulted in total net proceeds of $98.4 million. The proceeds were used to pay down all of the Company’s domestic debt except the AgWest Farm Credit $40.0 million non-revolving line of credit with an interest rate that is fixed at 3.57% through July 1, 2025. Long-term debt as of April 30, 2023, was $40.8 million, compared to $104.1 million at the end of fiscal year 2022. Debt levels as of April 30, 2023, less $9.8 million of cash on hand, resulted in a net debt position of $31.5 million at quarter end.

Real Estate Development and Property Sales

The Company’s joint venture with The Lewis Group of Companies (“Lewis”) for the residential development of its East Area I real estate development project, named Harvest at Limoneira, is currently expected to have approximately 1,500 total residential units built and sold over the life of the project. At the end of fiscal year 2022, the joint venture had closed the sales of lots representing 586 residential units, thus concluding lot sales in Phase 1 of the development.

In October 2022, the Company contributed 17 acres, known as the East Area I retained property, to a newly formed development entity, LLCB II, to potentially develop additional residential units and sold a 50% interest to Lewis for approximately $7.9 million in net cash proceeds. The Company recorded a gain of approximately $4.2 million on this transaction in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022.

In July 2021, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent to sell approximately 25 acres of its East Area II property in five staged purchases to an investment company for the purpose of constructing a medical campus consisting of medical office buildings and an acute care hospital. Completion of the transaction is subject to the execution of a purchase and sale agreement and resolution of certain contingencies.

Updated Guidance

The Company’s food service business and industry logistics continue to experience slowdown due to supply chain and inflationary pressures on a global basis.

The Company continues to expect fresh lemon volumes to be in the range of 5.0 million to 5.4 million cartons for fiscal year 2023. The Company now expects avocado volumes to be in the range of 3.0 million to 4.0 million pounds for fiscal year 2023, compared to previous guidance of 4.0 million to 5.0 million pounds. The decrease is primary due to weather-related factors adversely affecting our orchards.

The Company expects to receive total proceeds of $115 million from Harvest at Limoneira, LLCB II and East Area II spread out over seven fiscal years, with approximately $8 million received in fiscal year 2022.

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, named executive officer cash severance, pension settlement cost, loss (gain) on disposal of assets, net, cash bonus related to the sale of assets and gain on legal settlement are important measures to evaluate our results of operations between periods on a more comparable basis. Adjusted EBITDA in previous periods did not exclude stock-based compensation which has now been excluded as management believes this is a better representation of cash generated by operations and is consistent with peer company reporting. Adjusted EBITDA for prior periods has been restated to conform to the current presentation. Such measurements are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and should not be construed as an alternative to reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP information provided is unique to the Company and may not be consistent with methodologies used by other companies.

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):
