ALICO, INC.

Management Comments

John Kiernan, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “Our third quarter results reflect the continued, steady execution of our Strategic Transformation. For example, the additional agricultural lease we recently signed for approximately 3,280 acres, structured with a purchase option, reflects how our land monetization strategy allows us to generate recurring lease income while preserving the optionality to realize additional value from the property over time, and we believe it reflects the discipline and flexibility that has defined our transformation to date. Corkscrew Grove East Village received local entitlement approval in April and is now advancing through the state and federal permitting process."

Mr. Kiernan continued, “We continue to review our operating cost structure to improve our cash flow, and this year we are executing a number of initiatives to reduce overhead, including a new office lease that we expect will begin delivering additional savings starting in the second quarter of next fiscal year. We recognize this remains a multi-year transformation, and we believe the markers of progress we are reporting this quarter — on our balance sheet, in our leasing program, and in our development entitlements — demonstrate that we remain on track to unlock the substantial value we believe exists within our approximately 47,300-acre Florida portfolio, while maintaining our commitment to responsible land stewardship. With cash and cash equivalents of $55.6 million at quarter-end, we believe we've extended our financial runway through fiscal year 2029, without requiring any additional asset sales, giving us the flexibility to advance our development pipeline on our own timeline."
