SANTA PAULA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 7, 2023-- 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 third quarter ended July 31, 2023.

Management Comments

Harold Edwards, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “The success of our strategic shift towards an “asset-lighter” business model is evident in our third quarter results with brokered lemons and other lemon sales growing 76% year-over-year to $8.8 million and achieving farm management revenue of $5.4 million. Additionally, we continue to make headway monetizing water assets with the recently announced water fallowing program in Yuma, Arizona for expected annual proceeds of $1.3 million. We anticipate the sale of our two remaining identified non-strategic assets in the next nine months. Over the past year, we have worked to identify and eliminate unproductive or unprofitable parts of our business including the sale of non-strategic assets, exiting farming operations in Cadiz and terminating our long-term pension plan – all of which we expect to dramatically improve our margins starting in fiscal year 2024.”

Mr. Edwards continued, “Our third quarter results were impacted by lower lemon pricing and lower fresh utilization rates as a result of the heavy rains in California throughout December until May, which delayed a portion of our lemon harvest by two months and led to an industry-wide pest issue that lowered the grade on certain fruit. As a result, lemon pricing remained pressured throughout the quarter. However, as of the beginning of August lemon pricing has steadily been increasing for all grades and sizes with prices up compared to the last few years and at the highest level since 2018. We believe this positions us very well for expected higher lemon pricing in fiscal year 2024.”

Fiscal Year 2023 Third Quarter Results

For the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, total net revenue was $52.5 million, compared to total net revenue of $58.9 million in the third quarter of the previous fiscal year. Agribusiness revenue was $51.1 million, compared to $57.6 million in the third quarter of last fiscal year. Other operations revenue was $1.4 million compared to $1.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022.

Agribusiness revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 includes $24.2 million in fresh lemon sales, compared to $27.8 million of fresh lemon sales during the same period of fiscal year 2022. Approximately 1.4 million cartons of U.S. packed fresh lemons were sold in aggregate during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 at a $17.92 average price per carton, compared to approximately 1.5 million cartons sold at a $18.39 average price per carton during the third quarter of fiscal year 2022. Brokered lemons and other lemon sales were $8.8 million and $5.0 million, for the third quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company recognized $3.5 million of avocado revenue in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, compared to $12.6 million in the same period last fiscal year. Approximately 2.8 million pounds of avocados were sold in aggregate during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 at a $0.99 average price per pound, compared to approximately 5.7 million pounds sold at a $2.21 average price per pound during the third quarter of fiscal year 2022.

The Company recognized $1.3 million of orange revenue in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, compared to $3.7 million in the same period of fiscal year 2022. Approximately 71,000 cartons of oranges were sold during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 at a $18.17 average price per carton, compared to approximately 209,000 cartons sold at a $17.88 average price per carton during the third quarter of fiscal year 2022. The decline in volume was primarily due to the sale of the Northern Properties in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. Specialty citrus and other revenue was $1.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, compared to $1.1 million in the same period of fiscal year 2022.

Total costs and expenses for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 were $54.0 million, compared to $47.9 million in the third quarter of last fiscal year. The increase of $6.1 million was primarily due to increases in growing and packing costs, partially offset by decreases in third-party grower and supplier costs and depreciation and amortization.

Operating loss for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $1.5 million, compared to operating income of $11.1 million in the third quarter of the previous fiscal year, primarily due to lower avocado volume and pricing.

Net loss applicable to common stock, after preferred dividends, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $1.3 million, compared to net income applicable to common stock of $7.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022. Net loss per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $0.07, compared to net income per diluted share of $0.40 for the same period of fiscal year 2022.

Adjusted net income for diluted EPS in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $0.4 million or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 of $7.9 million or $0.43 per diluted share, based on approximately 17.6 million and 18.3 million, respectively, adjusted weighted average diluted common shares outstanding. 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 $2.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, compared to $14.8 million in 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.

For the nine months ended July 31, 2023, revenue was $138.5 million, compared to $144.9 million in the same period last fiscal year. Operating income for the first nine months of fiscal year 2023 was $20.5 million, compared to operating income of $4.1 million in the same period last fiscal year. Net income applicable to common stock was $12.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2023, compared to net income applicable to common stock of $2.0 million in the same period last fiscal year. Net income per diluted share for the first nine months of fiscal year 2023 was $0.69, compared to a net income per diluted share of $0.11 in the same period of fiscal year 2022.

For the first nine months of fiscal year 2023, adjusted net loss for diluted EPS was $5.0 million compared to adjusted net income for diluted EPS of $4.0 million for the same period in fiscal year 2022. In the first nine months of fiscal year 2023, adjusted net loss per diluted share was $0.28 compared to adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.23 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

During the nine months ended July 31, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $12.6 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $10.9 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Net cash provided by investing activities was $92.4 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2023, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $5.3 million in the same period last fiscal year. For the nine months ended July 31, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $69.6 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $4.8 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 July 31, 2023, was $40.7 million, compared to $104.1 million at the end of fiscal year 2022. Debt levels as of July 31, 2023, less $11.0 million of cash on hand, resulted in a net debt position of $30.2 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, LLC, to potentially develop additional residential units and sold a 50% interest to Lewis for approximately $7.9 million in net cash proceeds.

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 now expects fresh lemon volumes to be in the range of 4.7 million to 5.0 million cartons for fiscal year 2023, compared to previous guidance of 5.0 million to 5.4 million cartons. The Company achieved avocado volume of approximately 3.8 million pounds in fiscal year 2023 compared to previous guidance of 3.0 million to 4.0 million pounds.

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):
