Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains both historical and forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control.
The potential risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual financial condition, results of operations and future performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied include:
| |
• | changes in laws, regulations, rules, quotas, tariff, and import laws; |
| |
• | adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and other adverse natural conditions, including freezes, rains, fires and droughts that affect the production, transportation, storage, import and export of fresh produce; |
| |
• | market responses to industry volume pressures; |
| |
• | increased pressure from disease, insects and other pests; |
| |
• | disruption of water supplies or changes in water allocations; |
| |
• | product and raw materials supplies and pricing; |
| |
• | energy supply and pricing; |
| |
• | changes in interest rates; |
| |
• | availability of financing for development activities; |
| |
• | general economic conditions for residential and commercial real estate development; |
| |
• | political changes and economic crises; |
| |
• | labor disruptions, strikes, shortages or work stoppages; |
| |
• | the impact of foreign exchange rate movements; |
| |
• | negative impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the effectiveness of the Company's responses to the pandemic; |
| |
• | loss of important intellectual property rights; and |
| |
• | other factors disclosed in our public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). |
These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that we have identified as having the potential to cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated herein. We have described in Part II, Item 1A-“Risk Factors” additional factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our projections or estimates, especially relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many of these risks and uncertainties are currently amplified by, and will continue to be amplified by, or in the future may be amplified by, the COVID-19 outbreak. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks.
The Company’s actual results, performance, prospects or opportunities could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Additional risks of which the Company is not currently aware or which the Company currently deems immaterial could also cause the Company’s actual results to differ, including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if our situation changes in the future.
The terms the “Company,” “Limoneira”, “we,” “our” and “us” as used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Limoneira Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.

In December 2018, the Company terminated its lease agreement with the Joint Venture (as defined herein) that is developing the East Area I real estate development project. As a result, the Company reduced its sale leaseback deferral and corresponding real estate development by $58,330,000 and reclassified $33,353,000 of the Company’s basis in the Joint Venture from real estate development to equity in investments as further described in Note 7 - Real Estate Development and Note 8 - Equity in Investments of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In February 2020, the Company received an annual patronage dividend of $966,000 from Farm Credit West, FLCA ("Farm Credit West"), of which $667,000 was recorded as a reduction in interest expense and $299,000 reduced the Company's real estate development assets.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Business
Limoneira Company (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) engages primarily in growing citrus and avocados, picking and hauling citrus, and packing, marketing and selling lemons. The Company is also engaged in residential rentals and other rental operations and real estate development activities.
The Company markets and sells lemons directly to food service, wholesale and retail customers throughout the United States, Canada, Asia, Europe and other international markets. The Company is a member of Sunkist Growers, Inc. (“Sunkist”), an agricultural marketing cooperative, and sells its oranges, specialty citrus and other crops to Sunkist-licensed and other third-party packinghouses.
The Company sells the majority of its avocado production to Calavo Growers, Inc. (“Calavo”), a packing and marketing company listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol CVGW. Calavo’s customers include many of the largest retail and food service companies in the United States and Canada. Calavo packs the Company’s avocados, which are then sold and distributed under Calavo brands to its customers.
Basis of Presentation and Preparation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of all the subsidiaries and investments in which the Company holds a controlling interest. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The preparation of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Because the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for a complete set of consolidated financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Changes in Accounting Policies
On November 1, 2019, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") - Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (as amended, "ASU 2016-02" or the "New Lease Standard"). A lease is defined as a contract that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company enters into contracts that are, or contain, leases as both a lessee and a lessor. The following accounting policies have been updated as part of the adoption of the New Lease Standard.
Leases
Accounting for Operating Leases as a Lessee - In its ordinary course of business, the Company enters into leases as a lessee generally for agricultural land and packinghouse equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in other assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, measured on a discounted basis. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As none of the Company’s leases provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.
Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet as the Company has elected to recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has material leases with related parties which are further described in Note 15 - Related-Party Transactions.
LIMONEIRA COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Leases (continued)
Certain of the Company’s agricultural land agreements contain variable costs based on a percentage of the operating results of the leased property. Such variable lease costs are expensed as incurred. These land agreements also contain costs for non-lease components, such as water usage, which the Company accounts for separately from the lease components. For all other agreements, the Company generally combines lease and non-lease components in calculating the ROU assets and lease liabilities. See Note 13 - Leases for additional information.
Accounting for Leases as a Lessor - Leases in which the Company acts as the lessor include land, residential and commercial units and are all classified as operating leases. Certain of the Company’s contracts contain variable income based on a percentage of the operating results of the leased asset. Certain of the Company’s contracts contain non-lease components such as water, utilities and common area services. The Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for its lessor arrangements and the combined component is accounted for entirely under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, Leases. The underlying asset in an operating lease arrangement is carried at depreciated cost within property, plant, and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the useful life of the underlying asset. The Company recognizes operating lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Comprehensive (Loss) Income
Comprehensive (loss) income represents all changes in a company’s net assets, except changes resulting from transactions with shareholders, and is reported as a component of the Company’s stockholders’ equity. As of April 30, 2020, the components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, consist of accumulated foreign currency translation losses of $4,248,000 and accumulated pension losses of $4,558,000. As of October 31, 2019, accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of accumulated foreign currency translation losses of $2,362,000, accumulated pension losses of $4,753,000 and accumulated losses related to available for sale securities of $140,000.
Reclassifications and Adjustments
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the April 30, 2020 presentation. The Company reclassified receivables/other from related parties and payables to related parties of $2,985,000 and $906,000, respectively, as of October 31, 2019, from accounts receivable, net, and accrued liabilities, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
FASB ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and related ASUs, including ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which requires an entity to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 which, among other things, provides administrative relief by allowing entities to implement the lease standard on a modified retrospective basis (the "Optional Transition Method"). Effectively, the Optional Transition Method permits companies to adopt the lease standard through a cumulative effect adjustment to their opening balance sheet on the date of adoption and report under the New Lease Standard on a post-adoption basis.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective November 1, 2019 using the Optional Transition Method. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allows the Company to carry forward its historical lease classification, its assessment of whether a contract is or contains a lease, and its initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the New Lease Standard. The Company elected the hindsight practical expedient, which permits the use of hindsight when determining lease term and impairment of ROU assets. The Company did not elect to combine lease and non-lease components for land leases but elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all other asset classes. The Company also elected to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet and recognize the associated lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company updated its accounting policies, processes and internal controls in order to meet the New Lease Standard's reporting and disclosure requirements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
The adoption of ASU 2016-02 had a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets, but did not have a material impact on its consolidated statements of operations or its consolidated statements of cash flows. Upon adoption as of November 1, 2019, the Company recorded ROU assets of $2,400,000 and lease liabilities of $2,500,000 for operating leases in which the Company is a lessee. The adoption also included an immaterial reclassification of accrued rent liabilities against the ROU asset balance. As of November 1, 2019, there were no material finance leases for which the Company was a lessee. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not change the Company’s accounting for its operating leases in which it acts as the lessor. See Note 13 - Leases for additional information.
FASB ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and related ASUs
This amendment requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses.
ASU 2016-13 is effective for SEC filers for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans
This amendment adds, removes and clarifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post retirement plans. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
This amendment removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in GAAP. It eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether certain exceptions apply in a given period. The amendment also improves financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and simplifies GAAP under certain situations.
ASU 2019-12 is effective for public business entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. An entity that elects early adoption in an interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. Additionally, an entity that elects early adoption should adopt all the amendments in the same period. The Company early adopted this ASU as of November 1, 2019 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act")
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act provides numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including temporary changes regarding the prior and future utilization of net operating losses, temporary changes to the prior and future limitations on interest deductions, temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of Social Security taxes, the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits, and technical corrections from prior tax legislation for tax depreciation of certain qualified improvement property. The Company has evaluated the impact on its consolidated financial statements at April 30, 2020 and has estimated the impact of approximately $1,380,000 of income tax benefit and $4,924,000 federal tax refund utilizing net operating loss provisions of the CARES Act. The Company anticipates it will benefit from the utilization of net operating losses, the technical correction for qualified leasehold improvements eligible for 100% tax bonus depreciation and potentially other provisions within the CARES Act.

3. Acquisitions
Business Combination
Trapani Fresh
On May 30, 2019, the Company acquired a 51% interest in a joint venture, Trapani Fresh, formed with FGF Trapani (“FGF”), a multi-generational, family-owned citrus operation in Argentina. To consummate the transaction, the Company formed a subsidiary under the name Limoneira Argentina S.A.U. (“Limoneira Argentina”) as the managing partner and acquired a 51% interest in an Argentine Trust that holds a 75% interest in Finca Santa Clara (“Santa Clara”), a ranch with approximately 1,200 acres of planted lemons. Trapani Fresh controls the trust and grows, packs, markets and sells fresh citrus. Total consideration paid for the Company’s interest in Trapani Fresh was $15,000,000 and transaction costs of approximately $654,000 were included in selling, general and administrative expense during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.
In February 2020, FGF agreed to a decrease in the purchase consideration of $152,000 to reflect profits that Limoneira Argentina would have received had the transaction been consummated at the beginning of the 2019 lemon export season. The Company has recorded a receivable from FGF, a decrease in non-controlling interest and a decrease in goodwill.
Below is a summary of the fair value of the net assets acquired on the acquisition date based on a third-party valuation, which was finalized during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 (in thousands):

Total assets acquired | 29,113 |
|
Noncontrolling interest | (14,265 | ) |
Net cash paid | $ | 14,848 |
|
Goodwill of $123,000 relates to synergies of the operations, has been allocated to the fresh lemons segment and is currently not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Revenue of $14,651,000 and net income of $999,000 of Trapani Fresh were included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations from the acquisition date to the period ended October 31, 2019. The unaudited, pro forma consolidated statement of operations as if Trapani Fresh had been included in the consolidated results of the Company for the years ended October 31, 2019 and 2018 would have resulted in revenues of $177,625,000 and $153,033,000, respectively, and net (loss) income of $(6,092,000) and $21,942,000, respectively.
4. Fair Value Measurements
Under the FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, a fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tiered hierarchy draws distinctions between market participant assumptions based on (i) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2) and (iii) unobservable inputs that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3).
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets as of October 31, 2019, which were measured on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

4. Fair Value Measurements (continued)
Equity securities consisted of marketable securities in Calavo common stock. At October 31, 2019, the Company owned 200,000 shares which represented approximately 1.1% of Calavo’s outstanding common stock at a stock price of $97.00 per share. These securities were measured at fair value by quoted market prices and changes in fair value were included in the statement of operations.
In March 2020, the Company sold all 200,000 shares of Calavo common stock for a total of $11,048,000, recognizing a loss of $4,275,000 and $6,299,000, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2020, respectively, which is included in other (expense) income in the consolidated statement of operations. In fiscal year 2019, the Company sold 50,000 shares of Calavo common stock for a total of $4,786,000, recognizing a loss of $63,000, which was included in other (expense) income in the consolidated statement of operations.
5. Concentrations and Geographic Information
Lemons procured from third-party growers were 60% and 59% of the Company's lemon supply in the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Lemons procured from third-party growers were 58% and 59% of the Company's lemon supply in the six months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, of which one third-party grower was 12% of lemon supply as of April 30, 2020. The Company sells the majority of its avocado production to Calavo and the majority of its oranges and specialty citrus to a third-party packinghouse.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to a large, diverse customer base.
During the three and six months ended April 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $921,000 and $1,460,000 of lemon and orange sales in Chile by PDA and San Pablo, respectively, and $2,280,000 and $2,479,000 of lemon and orange sales in Argentina by Trapani Fresh, respectively.

In fiscal year 2005, the Company began capitalizing the costs of two real estate development projects east of Santa Paula, California, for the development of 550 acres of land into residential units, commercial buildings and civic facilities. On November 10, 2015 (the “Transaction Date”), the Company entered into a joint venture with The Lewis Group of Companies (“Lewis”) for the residential development of its East Area I real estate development project. To consummate the transaction, the Company formed Limoneira Lewis Community Builders, LLC (“LLCB” or “Joint Venture”) as the development entity, contributed its East Area I property to LLCB and sold a 50% interest in LLCB to Lewis for $20,000,000.

East Area I, Retained Property and East Area II (continued)
The Company and the Joint Venture also entered into a Retained Property Development Agreement on the Transaction Date (the "Retained Property Agreement"). Under the terms of the Retained Property Agreement, the Joint Venture transferred certain contributed East Area I property, which is entitled for commercial development, back to the Company (the "Retained Property") and arranged for the design and construction of certain improvements to the Retained Property, subject to certain reimbursements by the Company. The balance includes estimated costs incurred by and reimbursable to LLCB of $2,850,000 at April 30, 2020, which is included in payables to related parties and $1,200,000 at October 31, 2019, which was included in other long-term liabilities.

Unconsolidated Significant Subsidiary
In accordance with Rule 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X, which applies to interim reports on Form 10-Q, the Company must determine if its equity method investees are considered “significant subsidiaries”. In evaluating its investments, there are two tests utilized to determine if equity method investees are considered significant subsidiaries: the income test and the investment test. Summarized income statement information of an equity method investee is required in an interim report if either of the two tests exceed 20% in the interim periods presented. During the year-to-date interim period for the six months ended April 30, 2019, this threshold was met for the LLCB and thus summarized income statement information is presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Diluted (losses) earnings per common share are computed using the more dilutive method of either the two-class method or the treasury stock method. Unvested stock-based compensation awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends as participating shares are included in computing earnings per share. The Company’s unvested, restricted stock awards qualify as participating shares. The Company excluded 220,000 and 140,000, unvested, restricted shares, as calculated under the treasury stock method, from its computation of diluted (losses) earnings per share for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 196,000 and 219,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
