Current report
During the three months ended December 31, 2025, we sold approximately 600 acres of land for $7,653.
Current report
On January 14, 2026, we sold approximately 2,950 acres of citrus land for $26,859 ($9,110 per acre) in gross proceeds,
Current report
The 88.8% decrease in operating revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, was primarily due to our Strategic Transformation and decision to wind down our Citrus division to focus on a long-term diversified land usage and real estate development strategy, partially offset by an increase in rock and sand royalty, farming lease revenue and sod sales.
Current report
The decrease in operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, was primarily driven by our decision to wind down our citrus operations and an inventory adjustment of $7,359, recognized in the three months ended December 31, 2024. See Note 3. Inventories to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Current report
General and administrative expense increased $415 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 due to an increase in contract labor and employee costs.
Current report
Other income (expense), net for the three months ended December 31, 2025 increased $4,969, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, as a result of land sales.
Current report
The decrease in the income tax benefit for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, of $1,582 was principally due to the pre-tax loss and adjusted for the change in the valuation allowance, which has been included in the annual effective tax rate computations. Based upon both positive and negative evidence, management determined that it was not "more likely than not" that a portion of deferred tax assets will be realized. This conclusion is based upon an analysis of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the cumulative three-year loss position during fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.
Current report
The 98.1% decrease in Early and Mid-Season revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, was primarily due to our Strategic Transformation and decision to wind down our Citrus division to focus on a long-term diversified land usage and real estate development strategy.
Current report
For the three months ended December 31, 2025, we recognized a decrease in revenue from sales of Fresh Fruit and Other of $38, compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by a decrease in the amount of Fresh Fruit that was resold on behalf of grove owners, as we are no longer performing these services.
Current report
For the three months ended December 31, 2025, we recognized a decrease in Cost of Sales of $13,269, compared to the same period in the prior year, which was driven by our decision to wind down our citrus operations and an inventory adjustment of $7,359, recognized in the three months ended December 31, 2024, as a result of Hurricane Milton which hit in October 2024.
Current report
For the three months ended December 31, 2025 Harvesting and Hauling expenses were down 96.3%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 driven by our decision to wind down our citrus operations in fiscal year 2025 and as such harvesting significantly less fruit.
Current report
For the three month period ended December 31, 2025, Fresh Fruit and Other expenses decreased $50, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, as we are no longer selling fruit for other grove owners, in fiscal year 2026.
Current report
There was a 100.0% decrease in operating expenses relating to grove management services for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The decrease in Grove Management Services expenses was due to our grove management agreements. As of December 31, 2024, there were no longer any material grove management agreements in effect.
Current report
The 76.8% increase in revenues from Land Management and Other Operations for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily due to an increase in rock sand royalties, farming lease revenue and sod sales in the current period.
Current report
Our credit facilities are subject to a Minimum Liquidity Requirement of $5,831 and an LTV Cap of 50.0%. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants and were able to draw the entire amount of the RLOC, less current borrowings, and remain under the LTV Cap.
Current report
The term loans and RLOC are secured by real property. The security for the term loans and RLOC as of the most recent amendment, consists of approximately 40,428 gross acres of land.
Current report
We may utilize available cash and proceeds from asset sales to pay down indebtedness, repurchase stock and for other corporate purposes, subject to market conditions and Board discretion. Any decision regarding share repurchases or dividends will depend on our cash flows, liquidity, credit facility covenants, and other factors, and there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
Current report
The $2,128 decrease in Net cash used in operating activities was driven by lower operating expenses, partially offset by lower revenues, during the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, due to our Strategic Transformation which began in January 2025.
Current report
The $5,288 increase in Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, was principally the result of land sales in the three months ended December 31, 2025, partially offset by an advance of $5,071 to fund a wildlife-crossing planned as part of the Corkscrew Villages Project (see Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for details).
Current report
Net Cash (Used In) Provided By Financing Activities
Current report
The $12,540 change in Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, was primarily the result of there being no borrowings under the RLOC during the three months ended December 31, 2025.

CRAFT Program
Previous report
We received grant monies from CRAFT of $1,116 during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Previous report
The 38.4% decrease in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to the Early and Mid-Season and Fresh Fruit harvests beginning earlier in the first quarter of the year and ending earlier in the current quarter of 2025, partially driven by fruit drop as a result of Hurricane Milton. The decrease was also driven by a decrease in grove management revenues as a result of the expiration on December 31, 2024 of the Citrus Grove Management Agreement that we entered into on October 30, 2023 (the “Grove Owners Agreement”).
Previous report
These decreases were partially offset by a 28.5% increase in the price per pound solids of the Valencia crop, as a result of more favorable pricing in one of our then-existing contracts with Tropicana and an increase in rock and sand royalties.
Previous report
The 5.3% decrease in revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to a 26.4% decrease in total pound solids produced as a result of Hurricane Milton and a 62.1% decrease in Grove management services due to the expiration of the Grove Owners Agreement on December 31, 2024, partially offset by a blended 30.2% increase in the price per pound solid.
Previous report
The 56.8% and 68.3% increase in revenue within Land Management and Other for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, is principally due to an increase in rock and sand royalty income and sod sales, partially offset by lower farm, grazing and hunting lease revenues due to the sale of the Alico Ranch.
Previous report
The increase in operating expenses of $18,549 and $146,847 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, was driven by the acceleration of depreciation of approximately $40,586 and $159,941 principally on our Citrus trees in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as a result of the Strategic Transformation and decision to wind down our citrus operations and the impairment of our young trees, which were not yet being depreciated, as well as the impairment of our long lived assets at one of our groves of $24,966. Partially offsetting the increase in cost of sales were lower inventory adjustments of nil and $9,895 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $17,703 and $28,549 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $15,970 and $20,010 of crop insurance proceeds received in connection with Hurricane Milton during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, (which was recorded within Fresh Fruit and Other in the table below).
Previous report
General and administrative expense increased $426 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the acceleration of depreciation on certain administrative assets, higher employee costs (as a result of higher bonus accruals) and higher legal fees related to the Strategic Transformation.
Previous report
General and administrative expense increased $807 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2024 due to the acceleration of depreciation on certain administrative assets and an increase in legal fees, both related to our Strategic Transformation, partially offset by lower employee costs related to paid time off and bonus accruals.
Previous report
Other income (expense), net for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $841 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, driven by the sale of approximately 694 acres of land and a gain of approximately $1,275 from the sale of equipment and vehicles, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024, when we sold 798 acres of land.
Previous report
Other income (expense), net for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $60,019 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2024, principally as a result of fewer acres of land being sold during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year period, when we sold the Alico Ranch to the State of Florida.
Previous report
The increase in the income tax (benefit) of $6,939 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, was driven by an increase in our pre-tax loss in the current year period, primarily due to the accelerated book depreciation of citrus producing assets.
Previous report
The change in the income taxes to a tax (benefit) from a tax provision for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2024, of $46,595 was driven by the decreased earnings due to the accelerated depreciation of citrus producing assets, while the income tax expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 was principally due to the sale of 17,229 acres of the Alico Ranch to the State of Florida during the period.
Previous report
The 41.0% and 7.2% decrease in revenue for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to a 50.3% and 26.4%, respectively, decrease in the total pound solids produced, driven by fruit drop as a result of Hurricane Milton. These decreases were partially offset by a 28.5% increase in the price per pound solids of the Valencia crop for the for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and a 30.2% increase in the blended price per pound solid of our harvest for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, all of which was driven by more favorable pricing in one of our then-existing contracts with Tropicana.
Previous report
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized an increase in Cost of Sales of $36,172 and $168,967, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year, which was driven by the acceleration of depreciation on our Citrus trees in the quarter ended June 30, 2025, as a result of the Strategic Transformation and decision to wind down our citrus operations and the impairment of its young trees, which were not yet being depreciated, and the long lived assets at one of our groves, of $24,966. Partially offsetting the increase in cost of sales were lower inventory adjustments of nil and $9,895 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $17,703 and $28,549 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $15,970 and $20,010 of crop insurance proceeds received in connection with Hurricane Milton during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, (which was recorded within Fresh Fruit and Other in the table above).

The decrease in boxes harvested was principally due to a smaller harvest as a result of the fruit drop caused by Hurricane Milton, partially offset by an increase in cost per box harvested.
Previous report
The 124.7% and 82.5% decrease, respectively, in operating expenses relating to grove management services for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods ending June 30, 2024, was due to the expiration of the Grove Management Services agreement on December 31, 2024.
Previous report
Land Management and Other Operations revenue for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 increased 56.8% and 68.3%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, principally due to an increase in rock and sand royalty income and sod sales, partially offset by lower farm, grazing and hunting lease revenues due to the sale of the Alico Ranch.
Previous report
On March 31, 2025, we entered into Seventh Amendment with Met to, among other things, remove the Debt Service; Tangible Net Worth; Current Ratio and Debt to Total Assets Ratio covenants in their entirety. These restrictive covenants were replaced with a Quarterly Liquidity Covenant which requires us to maintain cash and cash equivalents in an amount equal to 1.5 multiplied by the cumulative sum of: i) the scheduled principal and interest payments due under the debt owed to Met and Prudential which may be due and payable during the immediately following twelve month period and ii) the projected interest payments due under the Amended RLOC (the “Minimum Liquidity Requirement”). In addition, we must maintain Cash and cash equivalents and Working Capital in excess of the Minimum Liquidity Requirement.
Previous report
Prior to the Seventh Amendment, the credit facilities were subject to various debt covenants including the following financial covenants: (i) minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00; (ii) tangible net worth of at least $160,000 increased annually by 10% of consolidated net income for the preceding years, or $175,263 applicable for the year ended September 30, 2025; (iii) minimum current ratio of 1.50 to 1.00; and (iv) debt to total assets ratio not greater than 0.625 to 1.00.
Previous report
The Amended Credit Agreement continues to include a 55.0% LTV CAP on the value of the term loans and RLOC capacity. At June 30, 2025, we were able to draw the available balance under the RLOC, while remaining under the LTV Cap.
Previous report
The Pru Loans A & B are subject to an annual financial covenant whereby the consolidated current ratio requirement is 1.00 to 1.00. Silver Nip Citrus was in compliance with the current ratio covenant as of June 30, 2025.
Previous report
The $41,561 change in Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was driven by lower spending on caretaking as a result of the winding down of our Citrus operations as part of our Strategic Transformation during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

Net Cash Provided By Investing Activities
Previous report
The $45,395 decrease in Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2024, was principally the result of fewer land sales in the nine months ended June 30, 2025.
Previous report
The $37,857 decrease in Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to lower debt repayments during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the repayment of $19,094 of Met Life Variable-Rate Term debt and the outstanding balance on the WCLC, with the proceeds from the sale of 17,229 acres of the Alico Ranch in the prior year period.
Previous report
At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, $92,500 and $86,606, respectively, were available under the RLOC.

Alico, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “Alico”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) currently generates operating revenues primarily from the sale of our citrus products, providing management services to citrus groves owned by third parties, and grazing and hunting leasing. We operate as two business segments, and all of our operating revenues are generated in the United States. While Alico Citrus, which holds the Company’s citrus production operations, has substantially wound down operations after the 2024/2025 harvest due to environmental and financial challenges, Alico remains committed to Florida’s agriculture industry, and will focus on its long-term diversified land usage and real estate development strategy.

We sell our Early and Mid-Season and Valencia oranges to orange juice processors. The processors generally buy the citrus crop on a pound solids basis, which is the measure of the soluble solids (sugars and acids) contained in one box of fruit. Our Fresh Fruit revenue is derived from sales to packing houses that purchase the citrus on a per box basis. We also provide citrus grove caretaking and harvest and haul management services to third parties from which revenues are recorded as Grove Management Services, including a management fee. Other revenues consist of the purchase and reselling of fruit.

Previous wording
The increase in operating expenses from Land Management and Other Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 of 69.0%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily due to an increase in Sod sales, while the decrease in operating expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 of 32.7%, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to lower property and real estate taxes as a result of the sale of the Alico Ranch.
Current wording
The increase in operating expenses from Land Management and Other Operations for the three months ended December 31, 2025 of $28, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 is primarily due to sod sales which did not occur in the prior year period.
Previous wording
We have historically been primarily engaged in the production of fruit for sale to citrus markets, which is of a seasonal nature, and subject to the influence of natural phenomena and wide price fluctuations. As a result, the second and third quarters of our fiscal year produce most of the Company’s annual revenue. However, due to lower production in the current and prior years, more of the citrus crop was harvested in the first and second quarters of the fiscal years. Working capital requirements are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, coinciding with harvesting cycles; however, as the harvest cycles have moved, our working capital requirements are now greater in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Because of the seasonality of the business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year. In light of the Strategic Transformation, we have decided not to allocate additional material capital to our citrus operations. In May 2025, we entered into a Mutual Contract Termination Agreement with Tropicana, terminating our agreement with them in its entirety following the fulfillment of all obligations under that agreement concerning the 2024/2025 Crop Year and all outstanding amounts had been settled by June 30, 2025. As a result, we expect these seasonal patterns to diminish in the future.
Current wording
We have historically been primarily engaged in the production of fruit for sale to citrus markets, which is of a seasonal nature, and subject to the influence of natural phenomena and wide price fluctuations. The first and second quarters of Alico’s year produce most of our annual revenue. Working capital requirements are typically greater in the third and fourth quarters of the year, coinciding with harvesting cycles. Because of the seasonality of the business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year ended September 30. As a result of the Strategic Transformation, we expect these seasonal patterns to diminish as we continue to wind down our Citrus operations.
Previous wording
Our business has historically generated full fiscal year positive net cash flows from operating activities, although the net cash flow in the first quarter of each fiscal year has been negative because of seasonality and the associated need to expend cash in advance of generating revenues from the harvesting season. In light of recent hurricanes, costs of maintaining the citrus groves and harvesting and hauling of citrus products continue to increase, and we continue to evaluate the short and long-term use of our land, and in January 2025 we announced a Strategic Transformation in our business focus, to wind down our Alico Citrus division, which holds our citrus production operations, to focus on a long-term diversified land usage and real estate development strategy. In May 2025, we entered into a Mutual Contract Termination Agreement with Tropicana, terminating our agreement with them in its entirety following the fulfillment of all obligations under that agreement concerning the 2024/2025 Crop Year and all outstanding amounts had been settled by June 30, 2025. Sources of cash primarily include cash flows from operations, sales of under-performing land and other assets, amounts available under our credit facilities, and access to capital markets. Access to additional borrowings under our RLOC is subject to the satisfaction of customary borrowing conditions. As a public company, we may have access to other sources of capital. However, access to, and availability of, financing on acceptable terms in the future will be affected by many factors, including (i) financial condition, prospects, and credit rating; (ii) liquidity of the overall capital markets; and (iii) the state of the economy. There can be no assurance that we will continue to have access to the capital markets on acceptable terms, or at all.

The principal uses of cash that affect our liquidity position include the following: operating expenses including employee costs, the cost of maintaining the citrus groves, harvesting and hauling of citrus products, capital expenditures, stock repurchases, dividends, debt service costs including interest and principal payments on term loans and other credit facilities and acquisitions. Our expected principal uses of cash that affect our liquidity position, in light of the Strategic Transformation and the workforce reduction, are expected to include lower employee costs, lower costs of maintaining citrus groves and lower capital expenditures. In addition, on March 25, 2025, our Board approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $50.0 million shares of Common Stock, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs.

Previous wording
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded an additional valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, which is recorded in the annual effective tax rate. We are required to assess the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss expected to be incurred over a three-year period during the year ending September 30, 2025. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our projections for future growth. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.

We have a $95,000 RLOC, of which $92,500 and $86,606 was available for general use as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively (see Note 8. Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). We may utilize the available cash to pay down indebtedness, conduct share repurchases, and possibly reinstate increased dividends. If we choose to pursue significant growth and other corporate opportunities, these actions could have a material adverse impact on our cash balances and may require us to finance such activities by drawing down on our lines of credit or by obtaining additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. Any inability to obtain additional financing could adversely impact our ability to pursue different growth and other corporate opportunities.
