Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share and per acre amounts)

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Alico, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “Alico”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), is a Florida agribusiness and land management company owning approximately 46,000 acres of land and approximately 41,400 acres of mineral rights throughout Florida. Alico holds these mineral rights on substantially all its owned acres, with additional mineral rights on other acres. The Company manages its land based upon its primary usage, and reviews its performance based upontwo primary classifications: (i) Alico Citrus and (ii) Land Management and Other Operations. Financial results are presented based upon thesetwo business segments.

On January 6, 2025, the Company announced a Strategic Transformation (the “Strategic Transformation”) in the Company’s business focus, to wind down its Alico Citrus division, which holds the Company’s citrus production operations, to focus on a long-term diversified land usage and real estate development strategy. Due to increasing financial challenges from citrus greening disease and environmental factors for many seasons, the Company decided to not spend further material capital on its citrus operations and began to wind down substantially all of its Citrus’ primary operations after completion of the 2024-2025 harvest in April 2025.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are referred to herein as the “Financial Statements”, of Alico have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required for complete annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). As such, these Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2025, as filed with the SEC on November 24, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. However, in the opinion of management, such Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP applicable to interim periods.

Seasonality

The Company has 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 the Company’s 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.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue under Financial Accounting Standards Board – Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation

Revenues are derived from the sale of processed fruit, fresh fruit, other citrus revenue, revenues from grove management services, leasing revenue and other resource revenues. Most of the revenue is generated from the sale of citrus fruit to processing facilities, fresh fruit sales and grove management services.

For fruit sales, the Company recognizes revenue in the amount it expects to be entitled to be paid, determined when control of the products or services is transferred to its customers, which occurs upon delivery of and acceptance of the fruit by the customer and when the Company has a right to payment.

For the sale of fruit, the Company has identified one performance obligation, which is the delivery of fruit to the processing facility of the customer (or harvesting of the citrus in the case of fresh fruit) for each separate variety of fruit identified in the respective contract with the respective customer. For one contract, which has a market price mechanism, the Company initially recognizes revenue in an amount which is estimated based on contractual and market prices, if such market price falls within the range (known as “floor” and “ceiling” prices) identified in the specific respective contracts. Adjustments are made throughout the year to these estimates as more current relevant industry information becomes available. Differences between the estimates and the final realization of revenues at the close of the harvesting season can result in either an increase or decrease to reported revenues. Substantially all of the Company’s fruit sales contracts are based on fixed prices per pound solids.

Revenue recognized over time1,0548371,4752,176
Total$5,340$17,980$7,227$34,874

As of March 31, 2026, and September 30, 2025, the Company had total receivables relating to sales of citrus of $1,666 and $575, respectively, recorded in Accounts Receivable, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For grove management services, the Company has identified one performance obligation, which is the management of the third party’s groves. Grove management services include caretaking of the citrus groves, harvesting and hauling of citrus, management and coordination of citrus sales and other related activities. The Company is reimbursed for expenses incurred in the execution of its management duties and the Company receives a per acre management fee. The Company recognizes operating revenue, including a management fee, and corresponding operating expenses when such services are rendered and consumed. As of December 31, 2024, there were no longer any material grove management agreements in effect.

The Company earns royalty revenue from granting rights to customers to extract rock and sand from its land. Royalties are variable based on a percentage of gross sales of materials excavated by the customer. These sales-based royalties are recognized at the point in time when the customer reports sales, in accordance with ASC 606’s royalty exception.

Leasing revenue

The Company is the lessor in various arrangements to lease land to third parties for the purpose of farming (including leases of our citrus groves) grazing and hunting. These leases meet the criteria for operating lease classification. Certain of the Company’s leases provide for reimbursement of Crop insurance or for revenue sharing of sublease income. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized lease income of $916 and $1,300, respectively, and variable lease income of $138 and $175, respectively, which is included in revenue recognized over time above. Lease income associated with these leases wasnot material during the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and generally had a term of one year or less.

Minimum future base rental revenue on non-cancelable leases subsequent to March 31, 2026 are summarized as follows. Certain of our leases include renewal options which could be exercised at the lessee’s discretion and are not included in the amounts in the table below.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash in banks and highly liquid instruments with an original maturity to the Company of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. At various times throughout the six months ended March 31, 2026 and year ended September 30, 2025, some accounts held at financial institutions were in excess of the federally insured limit of $250. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts and believes credit risk to be minimal.

Restricted Cash

Fair Value Measurements

The Company categorizes its financial instruments measured at fair value into a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability into a three tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 – Inputs, other than the quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets, for which significant other observable market inputs are readily available; and

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, such as internally developed valuation models which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short term and immediate nature of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values (Level 2) of note receivable and debt instruments are as follows:

(in thousands) · March 31, 2026 · September 30, 2025
Carrying Amount · Estimated Fair Value · Carrying Amount · Estimated Fair Value
Other non-current assets
Note receivable from Corkscrew Grove Stewardship District$5,177$5,067$—$—
Corporate debt
Current portion of long-term debt$250$249$250$250
Long-term debt$85,575$81,424$85,700$81,668

As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025 the Company did not have any assets held for sale that had been measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share for the Company’s common stock is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Alico common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is similarly calculated, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of the assumed issuance of shares of common stock issuable under equity-based compensation plans in accordance with the treasury stock method, or any other type of securities convertible into common stock, except where the inclusion of such common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

(in thousands) · Three Months EndedMarch 31, · Six Months EndedMarch 31,
2026 · 2025 · 2026 · 2025
Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding – Basic7,6267,6377,6397,635
Effect of dilutive securities – stock options and restricted stock units15—6—
Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding – Diluted7,6407,6377,6457,635

Non-vested restricted shares of common stock entitle the holder to receive non-forfeitable dividends upon issuance and are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share.

Accounting for government grants

The Company recognizes government grants when there is reasonable assurance that: (1) the grant will be received and (2) all conditions will be met. For income-based grants, the Company recognizes the income on a systemic basis over the periods in which it recognizes as expense the related costs for which the grant was intended to compensate.

In the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognizedno grant monies from the Citrus Research and Field Trial Foundation’s (“CRAFT”) program to assist citrus growers in the State of Florida using Oxytetracycline (“OTC”) and other approved therapies to combat the effect of “greening” of their citrus trees. At March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025 grant monies of $128 and $425, respectively, were recognized as a component of Inventories on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 $297 and $959, respectively, were recognized as a reduction of Operating expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, as the fruit was sold, in order to align it to the period over which the expense related to the OTC treatments is recognized. These grant monies were received in exchange for providing certain historical data to the CRAFT Foundation about the Company’s citrus groves. The Company may continue, but is not obligated, to participate in future CRAFT programs on the effects of the use of OTC on its Citrus Trees, in the groves that will continue to produce oranges (see Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation for further information on the Company’s Strategic Transformation).

Concentrations

Accounts receivable from the Company’s major customer as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, and revenue from such customer for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, are as follows:

(in thousands) · Accounts Receivable · Revenue · % of Total Revenue
March 31,September 30,Six Months EndedMarch 31,Six Months EndedMarch 31,
202620252026202520262025
Tropicana$—$—$—$31,263—%89.6%

The citrus industry is subject to various factors over which growers have limited or no control, including weather conditions, disease, pestilence, water supply and market price fluctuations. Market prices are highly sensitive to aggregate domestic and foreign crop sizes, as well as factors including, but not limited to, weather and competition from foreign countries. As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the Company had an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $239 and $60, respectively.

In May 2025, we entered into a Mutual Contract Termination Agreement with Tropicana and as such, they are no longer a customer of the Company. There were no other customers which represented a significant concentration of our revenue as of, or for the six months ended, March 31, 2026.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations, or asset group, when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the estimated cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by those assets or asset group over the remaining lives of the assets or asset group are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. In calculating impairments and the estimated cash flows, the Company assigns its asset groups by determining the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of the other Company assets. The net carrying values of assets or asset group not recoverable are reduced to their fair values. Alico’s cash flow estimates are based on historical results adjusted to reflect best estimates of future market conditions and operating conditions. The Company has determined that the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of the other Company assets is the Grove level and includes, its Citrus Trees, Land, certain equipment (principally irrigation related) and the Buildings and improvements within its citrus groves, which are used together to generate cash flows from fruit for sales to its customers. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized an impairment of its long lived assets at one of its groves, as well as its young trees, which were not yet being depreciated, of $24,966, which was recorded within Operating expenses in its Alico Citrus Segment. The fair value of the assets which were determined to be impaired were based primarily on consideration of comparable land sales and recent appraisals which considered comparable land sales, as well as any cash flows expected to be received from, or related to its operations (such as the fruit harvest and crop insurance proceeds) through the third quarter ended June 30, 2025.

No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized during the three and six months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, long-lived assets were comprised of property and equipment.

Segments

Operating segments are defined in the criteria established under ASC Topic 280 as components of public entities that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses for which separate financial information is available and which is evaluated regularly by John E. Kiernan, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company’s CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based ontwo reportable segments: (i) Alico Citrus and (ii) Land Management and Other Operations.

Principles of Consolidation

The Financial Statements include the accounts of Alico and the accounts of all the subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is held by the Company. Under U.S. GAAP, consolidation is generally required for investments of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of an investee, except when control is not held by the majority owner. The Company’s subsidiaries include: Alico Land Development, Inc., Alico-Agri, Ltd., Alico Plant World, LLC, Alico Fruit Company, LLC, Alico Citrus Nursery, LLC, Alico Chemical Sales, LLC, Alico Ranch, LLC, Alico Natural Resources, LLC, 734 Citrus Holdings 1, LLC and subsidiaries (“Silver Nip”), Alico Skink Mitigation, LLC and Citree Holdings 1, LLC (“Citree”). The Company considers the criteria established under FASB ASC Topic 810, “Consolidations” in its consolidation process. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company has an interest in the Corkscrew Grove Stewardship District (the "CGSD"), a special district created by the Florida State Legislature on June 25, 2025 and responsible for the construction, operations and maintenance of community infrastructure within its boundaries. CGSD is a legal entity controlled byfive board members consisting of Alico employees, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, John Kiernan, who is the Board Chairman of the CGSD. The CGSD is a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) which qualifies for a specific scope exception under ASC 810 and, therefore, is not subject to the VIE consolidation model. Accordingly, the financial results of the CGSD are not consolidated in the Company's financial statements.

On October 27, 2025, the CGSD, entered into a Locally Funded Agreement (the “CGSD Funding Agreement”) with the State of Florida Department of Transportation (“FDOT”). On October 24, 2025, the Company entered into a Funding Agreement with the CGSD to provide funding as necessary to fund the CGSD’s obligations related to the FDOT under the CGSD Funding Agreement including the accrual of interest at a rate of 5% on all funds provided under such agreement. The Company has no explicit arrangements to provide financial support to the CGSD beyond the agreed-upon budget funding agreement. On November 14, 2025, the Company provided funding of $5,071 to the CGSD, which was then paid to the FDOT to fund a wildlife-crossing planned as part of the Corkscrew Villages Project in eastern Collier County. The payment to the CGSD is reimbursable to the Company under the CGSD Funding Agreement and has been classified as a long-term receivable within Other non-current assets. Such repayment could come through a bond issuance or sale of the land to developers.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the accompanying Financial Statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and cash flows during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company evaluates estimates on an ongoing basis. The estimates are based on current and expected economic conditions, historical experience, the experience and judgment of the Company’s management and various other specific assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable.

Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Subsidiary

The Financial Statements include all assets and liabilities of the less-than-100%-owned subsidiary the Company controls, Citree. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a noncontrolling interest in the equity of such entity. Citree had net losses of $202 and $98 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and net losses of $435 and $270 for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, of which 51% is attributable to the Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which amends Topic 740 primarily through enhanced disclosures about an entity’s tax risks and tax planning. The amendments are effective for public business entities in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted on a prospective or retrospective basis. ASU 2023-09 became effective for us on October 1, 2025, for the year ended September 30, 2026. The Company expects to include certain additional income tax disclosures as a result of the adoption of this accounting pronouncement but it will not impact the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which amends Topic 220 primarily through requiring disclosures in the notes to financial statements about certain costs and expenses. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted on a prospective or retrospective basis. ASU 2024-03 becomes effective for us on October 1, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting pronouncement.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, “Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance,” to address requests from investors for increased transparency about government grants. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2025-10 becomes effective for us on October 1, 2029, with early adoption permitted on a modified prospective, modified retrospective or a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting pronouncement.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Narrow Scope Improvements,” to improve the guidance in Topic 270, Interim Reporting, by improving the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifying when that guidance is applicable. The amendments in this update are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption is permitted. ASU 2025-11 becomes effective for us on October 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting pronouncement.

The Company has reviewed other recently issued accounting standards which have not yet been adopted to determine their potential effect, if any, on the results of operations or financial condition. Based on the review of these other recently issued standards, the Company does not currently believe that any of those accounting pronouncements will have a significant effect on its current or future financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Note 3. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025:

(in thousands)March 31,2026September 30,2025
Unharvested fruit crop on the trees$1,244$3,859
Other236361
Total inventories$1,480$4,220

The Company records its inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company didnot recognize an inventory adjustment. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded an inventory adjustment of $9,895, to reduce inventory to net realizable value within Operating expenses. The inventory adjustment during the six months ended March 31, 2025 was due to a lower than anticipated harvest of the Early and Mid-Season crop and a reduction in our estimate for the Valencia harvest, as a result of Hurricane Milton, which hit in October 2024.

Note 4. Assets Held for Sale

In accordance with its strategy to dispose of non-core and under-performing assets, the following assets have been classified as assets held for sale at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025:

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company sold approximately 2,950 acres of land for $26,859 and 3,546 acres of land for $34,611 in gross proceeds, respectively, which will be used for general corporate purposes.

Note 5. Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment, net consists of the following at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025:

During the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded a loss on the disposal of long-lived assets ofzero and $780, respectively, which has been recognized within Operating expenses.

In fiscal year 2026, the Company entered into leases of certain of its previously retained groves in Polk County and the Citree grove through May 31, 2026, with the intent to enter a further extension of these leases. The decision to lease these groves constituted an impairment indicator and the Company performed an impairment analysis of its long-lived assets in these groves at December 15, 2025. The Company determined that the asset group for testing impairment is the grove level and includes the Citrus trees, Land, certain Equipment (principally irrigation related) and the Buildings and improvements within its citrus groves. This grouping is required as the cash flows from the sales of fruit cannot be specifically attributed to any of the individual components and the caretaking of the groves is interdependent on the existence of all assets in the asset group. This analysis was based on consideration of comparable land sales and recent appraisals which considered comparable land sales, as well as any cash flows expected to be received from, or related to its operations (such as the fruit harvest) through the harvest season. Based on the Company’s analysis, there was no indication of impairment.

As a result of these leases, the estimated useful life of the Company’s citrus trees has been impacted and their lives were changed to approximately 3.50 years, which is the anticipated end of the non-cancelable term of the lease extension the Company is negotiating. The change in lives resulted in a net reduction in the Company’s depreciation on its trees and certain irrigation assets of approximately $1,270 and $1,475 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, respectively, and the impact of the change in depreciable lives on net income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 was an increase of $1,246 and $1,398, respectively. The impact on Basic earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 was an increase of $0.16 and $0.18, respectively, and on Diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 was an increase of $0.16 and $0.18, respectively.

In January 2025, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the fixed assets in its Citrus Segment, as a result of the announcement of its Strategic Transformation. The decision to wind down the Company’s citrus groves constituted an impairment indicator and it performed an impairment analysis of its property and equipment at January 6, 2025. The Company determined that the asset group for testing impairment is the grove level and includes the Citrus trees, Land, certain Equipment (principally irrigation related) and the Buildings and improvements within its citrus groves. This grouping is required as the cash flows from the sales of fruit cannot be specifically attributed to any of the individual components and the caretaking of the groves is interdependent on the existence of all assets in the asset group.

As a result of this analysis, the Company determined that there was an impairment of its young trees, which were not yet being depreciated and its long lived assets at one of its groves of $24,966, which has recorded within Operating expenses in its Alico Citrus Segment. This analysis was based on consideration of comparable land sales and recent appraisals which considered comparable land sales, as well as any cash flows expected to be received from, or related to its operations (such as the fruit harvest and crop insurance proceeds) through the third quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Furthermore, the estimated useful life of the Company’s citrus trees had been impacted and their lives were changed to a range offour tosixteen months depending upon whether the trees will be abandoned at the end of the Fiscal Year 2025 harvest season or if they are either being retained or leased for another year, which is expected to conclude in April 2026, respectively. The Company recognized accelerated depreciation on its trees and certain of its other fixed assets of approximately $119,266. Citree was not impacted by the Strategic Transformation and as such no change in estimated useful life was deemed necessary. The impact of the accelerated depreciation on the net loss for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 was $96,128 and the impact on both Basic and Diluted earnings per share for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 was a loss of $12.59.

Note 7. Restructure and Other Charges

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company accrued for severance costs principally consisting of salary continuation and health benefits forsix employees. As these employees are covered under the Company’s pre-existing, ongoing severance policy, the associated termination benefits are accounted for under ASC 712-10, Other Post Employment Benefits. As a result, during the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, respectively, the Company accrued severance costs for these employees of $162 and $471, respectively, when the Company determined that the liability was probable and estimable. All of these employees exited the Company by March 31, 2026.

On January 3, 2025, the Board approved the Strategic Transformation and associated reduction in the Company’s current workforce by up to 172 employees. This workforce reduction was effective on January 6, 2025 with respect to 135 employees, and was effective between April 1, 2025 and May 30, 2025 with respect to 34 employees (see Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation for further information on the Strategic Transformation).

Debt

The Company’s credit facilities consist of fixed interest rate term loans (“Met Fixed-Rate Term Loans”) and a $95,000 revolving line of credit (“RLOC”) with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“Met”).

The term loans and RLOC are secured by real property consisting of approximately 40,263 gross acres of land.

The Met Fixed-Rate Term Loans and Fixed-Rate Term Loan II, are interest-only with a balloon payment at maturity on November 1, 2029 and May 1, 2034, respectively.

The RLOC bears interest rate at SOFR plus 220 basis points (the "Amended SOFR Spread”), with a SOFR floor of 5.00% and a minimum balance of $2,500. The Amended SOFR Spread and SOFR floor are subject to adjustment by lender everytwo years beginning January 1, 2026 and everytwo years thereafter until maturity. The RLOC is subject to an annual commitment fee of 25 basis points on the unused portion of the line of credit and is available for funding general corporate purposes. At March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, $92,500 was available under the RLOC.

The variable interest rate on the Amended RLOC was 5.88% and 6.56% per annum as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively.

The Company’s credit facilities contain restrictive covenants which requires the Company 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, which may be due and payable during the immediately following twelve month period and ii) the projected interest payments due under the RLOC (the “Minimum Liquidity Requirement”). In addition, the Company must maintain Cash and cash equivalents and Current Assets less Current liabilities (“Working Capital”) in excess of the Minimum Liquidity Requirement. At March 31, 2026, the Minimum Liquidity Requirement was $5,824.

The credit agreement also includes a 50.0% Loan To Value Cap (the "LTV CAP") on the value of the term loans and RLOC capacity. At March 31, 2026, the Company was able to draw the available balance under the RLOC, while remaining under the LTV Cap.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants.

Credit facilities also include a Met Life term loan collateralized by 1,200 gross acres of citrus grove owned by Citree (“Met Citree Loan”). This is a $5,000 credit facility that bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.28% per annum. Principal and interest payments are made on a quarterly basis. The loan matures in February 2029.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred to obtain financing are deferred and amortized to “Interest expense” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the related financing period using the effective interest method. The Company records debt issuance costs as a direct reduction of the carrying value of the related debt. Financing costs related to the undrawn RLOC are included in "Other non-current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 9. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 was a provision of 1.9% and a (benefit) of (5.2)%, respectively. The rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 differed from the Federal Statutory rate of 21.0%, primarily due to a change in the valuation allowance. Based on 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 at March 31, 2026.

As the Company continues its strategic transformation, it has concluded that it cannot make a reasonable estimate of the annual effective tax rate due to an inability to reliably forecast the timing and implications of subsequent pending land lease agreements, principally depreciation expense (the Company’s most significant timing difference between its book and tax basis results), which will vary based on the noncancelable term, renewal options and likelihood of renewal of such options. Therefore, the valuation allowance analysis discussed above is based upon the Company's deferred tax position as of March 31, 2026.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 was a benefit of 19.4% and 19.4%, respectively. The rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 differed from the Federal Statutory rate of 21.0%, primarily due to a change in the valuation allowance. Based on both positive and negative evidence, management determined that it was not “more likely than not” the deferred tax assets will be realized. This is primarily due to the accelerated book depreciation on the citrus producing assets, which resulted in a cumulative three-year loss during fiscal year ending September 30, 2025.

Note 10. Segment Information

Segments

Our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our CODM, assesses performance and allocates resources based on the operating performance oftwo reportable segments: Alico Citrus and Land Management and Other Operations. The operating segments represent the primary components that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses for which separate financial information is available and which is regularly provided to the Company’s CODM. In identifying our reportable segments, the Company also considered the nature of services provided by our operating segments, economic characteristics in which the segments operate and other relevant factors.

Total revenues represent sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Goods and services produced by these segments are sold to wholesalers and processors in the United States who prepare the products for consumption. The Company's CODM evaluates the segments’ performance based on Revenues and Gross profit (loss) from operations.

Note 11. Leases

The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company’s leases consist of operating lease arrangements for certain office space and IT facilities. When these lease arrangements include lease and non-lease components, the Company accounts for lease components and non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance) separately based on their relative standalone prices.

Any lease arrangements with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and it recognizes lease cost for these lease arrangements on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term. Many lease arrangements provide the options to exercise one or more renewal terms or to terminate the lease arrangement. The Company includes these options when it will be reasonably certain to exercise them in the lease term used to establish the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Generally, lease agreements do not include an option to purchase the leased asset, residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

As most of our lease arrangements do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company applies an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date of the lease arrangement to determine the present value of lease payments.

No lease costs associated with finance leases and sale-leaseback transactions occurred and our lease income associated with lessor and sublease arrangements are not material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our operating leases cost components are reported in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows:

Note 12. Stock-based Compensation

Effective January 27, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) which provides for up to 1,250,000 common shares available for issuance to provide a long-term incentive plan for officers, employees, directors and/or consultants to directly link incentives to stockholder value. The 2015 Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders in February 2015. An amendment and restatement of the 2015 Plan was approved by the board of directors on December 17, 2024 and by shareholders on February 28, 2025 at the Company Annual Shareholders Meeting (the “Amended and Restated 2015 Plan”). The Amended and Restated 2015 Plan provides for grants to eligible participants in various forms including restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, restricted stock units and stock options. Awards are discretionary and are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards vest based upon service and/or performance conditions.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for (i) Board of Directors fees (generally paid in treasury stock), and (ii) other awards under the Amended and Restated 2015 Plan (paid in restricted stock, stock options or Market-based Restricted Stock Units (“MRSUs”)). Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Stock Compensation – Board of Directors

The Board of Directors can either elect to receive stock compensation or cash for their fees for services provided. Stock-based compensation expense relating to the Board of Directors fees was $98 and $208 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, respectively, and $119 and $238 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively.

Stock Compensation - Employees

Stock compensation expense related employee awards were $42 and $108 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, respectively, and $66 and $126 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively.

Market-based Restricted Stock Units

On December 23, 2024, the Company granted MRSUs to one of its executives, which will be eligible to be earned if at any time prior to September 30, 2027, the average 30-day closing per share price of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds the applicable price per share thresholds set forth below:

Price Per Share ThresholdNumber of MRSUs Earned
$35 per share5,000
$40 per share12,500
$45 per share20,500

The earned MRSUs will then be subject to time-based vesting on September 30, 2027, subject to continued service through such date. Stock compensation expense will be recognized ratably over the term of the award. As of March 31, 2026,17,500 MRSUs had been earned.

The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of the Company’s MRSUs on the grant date are as follows:

Expected volatility of stock price33.14%
Risk-free interest rate4.26%
Expected term of awards (years)2.77

Outstanding at March 31, 202638,000$12.32

a. The weighted average remaining contractual term is 1.5 years and the aggregate intrinsic value of MRSUs expected to vest is $1,568.

As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, total unrecognized stock compensation costs for MRSUs was $253 and $338, respectively.

Forfeitures of RSAs, stock options and MRSUs are recognized as incurred.

Total stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, which was recognized in general and administrative expense, was $140 and $316, respectively, and $185 and $364 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively.
