Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) contains certain forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report are forward-looking statements, including without limitation, statements regarding future actions, business plans and prospects, prospective products, trends, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, interest rates, the outcome of contingencies, plans relating to dividends, government regulations, the adequacy of our liquidity to meet our needs for the foreseeable future, our expectations regarding the continued impact of Hurricane Ian, and our expectations regarding market conditions. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates”, “estimates”, “projects,” “intends,” “plans” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are subject to a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and other natural conditions, including the effects of climate change and hurricanes and tropical storms, particularly because our citrus groves are geographically concentrated in Florida; damage and loss from disease including, but not limited to, citrus greening and citrus canker; any adverse event affecting our citrus business; our ability to effectively perform grove management services, or to effectively manage an expanded portfolio of groves; our dependency on our relationship with Tropicana and Tropicana’s relationship with certain third parties for a significant portion of our business; our ability to execute our strategic growth initiatives and whether they adequately address the challenges or opportunities we face; product contamination and product liability claims; water use regulations restricting our access to water; changes in immigration laws; harm to our reputation; tax risks associated with a Section 1031 Exchange; risks associated with the undertaking of one or more significant corporate transactions; the seasonality of our citrus business; fluctuations in our earnings due to market supply and prices and demand for our products; climate change, or legal, regulatory, or market measures to address climate change; Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) issues, including those related to climate change and sustainability; increases in labor, personnel and benefits costs; increases in commodity or raw product costs, such as fuel and chemical costs; transportation risks; any change or the classification or valuation methods employed by county property appraisers related to our real estate taxes; liability for the use of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and other potentially hazardous substances; compliance with applicable environmental laws; loss of key employees; material weaknesses and other control deficiencies relating to our internal control over financial reporting; macroeconomic conditions, such as rising inflation, the deadly conflicts in Ukraine and Israel; system security risks, data protection breaches, cyber-attacks and systems integration issues; our indebtedness and ability to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt obligations; higher interest expenses as a result of variable rates of interest for our debt; our ability to continue to pay cash dividends; and the other factors described under the sections “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 6, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Except as required by law, we do not undertake an obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.

As used in this Quarterly Report, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Alico” refer to the operations of Alico, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

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 54,500 acres of land and 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 upon two primary classifications: (i) Alico Citrus and (ii) Land Management and Other Operations. Financial results are presented based upon these two business segments.

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, 2023, as filed with the SEC on December 6, 2023 (the “2023 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. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

Seasonality

The Company is 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. Historically, the second and third quarters of Alico’s fiscal year produce most of the Company’s annual revenue. Working capital requirements are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal 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 fiscal year.

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 2023 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

Table of Contents

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. 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. Additionally, the Company also has a contractual agreement whereby revenue is determined based on applying a cost-plus structure methodology. As such, since all these contracts contain elements of variable consideration, the Company recognizes this variable consideration by using the expected value method. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the reasonableness of the revenues accrued based on buyers’ and processors’ advances to growers, cash and futures markets and experience in the industry. 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.

Total	$	18,113	$	21,294	$	32,098	$	31,882

Receivables under contracts, whereby pricing is based on contractual and market prices, are primarily paid at the floor amount and are collected within seven days after the harvest week. Any adjustments to pricing as a result of changes in market prices are generally collected or paid thirty to sixty days after final market pricing is published. Receivables under those contracts where pricing is based off a cost-plus structure methodology are paid at the final prior year rate. Any adjustments to pricing because of the cost-plus calculation are collected or paid upon finalization of the calculation and agreement by both parties. As of March 31, 2024, and September 30, 2023, the Company had total receivables relating to sales of citrus of $8,604 and $394, 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.

The Company recorded $1,395 and $551 of operating revenue relating to these grove management services, including the management fee, in the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for this group of third-party grove owners noted above. The Company recorded $890 and $307 of operating expenses relating to these grove management services in the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for this group of third-party grove owners noted above.

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 year ended September 30, and as of September 30, 2023, some accounts held at financial institutions were in excess of the federally insured limit of $250. The Company held U.S. Treasury Bills with an amortized cost of $2,522 at March 31, 2024. These Treasury Bills are classified as Held to Maturity based on the Company's intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts and believes credit risk to be minimal.

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 debt instruments are as follows:

Table of Contents


(in thousands)	March 31, 2024				September 30, 2023
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Corporate debt
Current portion of long-term debt	$	1,410	$	1,367	$	2,566	$	2,325
Long-term debt	$	83,452	$	75,934	$	126,753	$	115,851

As of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023 the Company did not have any assets held for sale that had been measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

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, 2024, the Company recognized $1,805 of grant money 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. These funds were recognized as a component of Inventories ($235 at March 31, 2024) on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and will be recognized as a reduction of Operating expenses ($1,570 during the six months ended March 31, 2024) on its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as its fruit is 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 January 2024, the Company collected these grant monies from CRAFT.

Concentrations

Accounts receivable from the Company’s major customer as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, and revenue from such customer for the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, are as follows:


(in thousands)	Accounts Receivable				Revenue				% of Total Revenue
	March 31,		September 30,		March 31,				March 31,
	2024		2023		2024		2023		2024		2023
Tropicana	$	8,106	$	—	$	28,857	$	28,065	89.9	%	88.0	%

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.

The overall decrease in Tropicana revenue, as a percentage of sales, was primarily due to an increase in processed fruit sales during the current quarter.

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 the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company’s CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based on two operating 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.

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 $427 and $703 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and net losses of $1,466 and $776 for the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, of which 51% is attributable to the Company.

Table of Contents

For the six months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the Company recorded $28,549 and $1,616, respectively, for adjustments to reduce inventory to net realizable value. The adjustment for the six months ended March 31, 2024 was due to significantly lower than anticipated harvests of the Early and Mid-Season and Valencia crops, as a result of the continued recovery from the impacts of Hurricane Ian.

The Company received no insurance proceeds relating to Hurricane Ian during the three and six months ended March 31, 2024. In the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, the Company received insurance proceeds relating to Hurricane Ian of approximately $4,759 for crop claims, which have been recorded in operating expenses.

In the six months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the Company received $0 and approximately $1,266 under the Florida Citrus Recovery Block Grant (“CRBG”) program. These federal relief proceeds are included as a reduction to operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In December 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act was signed into law by the federal government; however, the details of the mechanism and funding of any Hurricane Ian relief still remains unclear and, if available, the extent to which the Company will be eligible. The Company intends to take advantage of any such available programs as and when they become available. The Company is currently working with Florida Citrus Mutual, the industry trade group, and government agencies on the federal relief programs available as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act.

Debt

The Company’s credit facilities consist of fixed interest rate term loans originally in the amount of $125,000 (“Met Fixed-Rate Term Loans”) variable interest rate term loans originally in the amount of $57,500 (“Met Variable-Rate Term Loans”), a $25,000 revolving line of credit (“RLOC”) with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and New England Life Insurance Company (collectively “Met”), and a $70,000 WCLC with Rabo. At March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, $25,000 and $25,000 were available under the RLOC, respectively, and $69,752 and $45,030 was available under the WCLC, respectively.

The term loans and RLOC are secured by real property. The security for the term loans and RLOC consists of approximately 38,200 gross acres of citrus groves. The WCLC is collateralized by the Company’s current assets and certain other personal property owned by the Company.

The Met Fixed-Rate Term Loans, which bear interest at 3.85%, are interest-only with a balloon payment at maturity on November 1, 2029.

The Met Variable-Rate Term Loans are subject to quarterly principal payments of $406 and bear interest at the One Month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 175 basis points (the “SOFR spread”) with a maturity date of November 1, 2029. The SOFR spread was subject to adjustment by Met every 2 years beginning May 1, 2023, until maturity. As of November 1, 2023, the interest rate on the Met Variable-Rate Term Loans was 7.56% per annum, payable quarterly, until December 26, 2023, when Company repaid the outstanding balance of $19,094, plus accrued interest, on these loans. The interest rate on the Met Variable-Rate Term Loans was 7.52% per annum, payable quarterly, as of September 30, 2023. Effective February 17, 2023, the Company had agreed to defer the next three quarterly principal payments which were previously due May 2023, August 2023 and November 2023 to the maturity date of the loan.

With respect to the RLOC, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the SOFR-based spread was SOFR plus 220 basis points and was subject to adjustment by the lender every 2 years beginning May 1, 2023, until maturity on November 1, 2029. 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. The variable interest rate was 7.56% per annum and 7.52% per annum as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

The WCLC is a revolving credit facility and is available for funding working capital and general corporate requirements. The WCLC agreement was amended on October 27, 2022, and the primary terms of the amendment were an extension of the maturity to November 1, 2025, and the conversion of the interest rate from LIBOR plus a spread to SOFR plus a spread, which spread is adjusted quarterly, based on the Company’s debt service coverage ratio for the preceding quarter and can vary from 175 to 250 basis points. There were no changes to the commitment amount. The rate at September 30, 2023 was SOFR plus 175 basis points, or 7.08% and 7.07% per annum, respectively, as of March 31, 2024 and

Table of Contents

September 30, 2023. The WCLC agreement provides for Rabo to issue up to $2,000 in letters of credit on the Company’s behalf, of which $248 and $248 were issued as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

The WCLC is subject to a quarterly commitment fee on the daily unused availability under the line computed as the commitment amount less the aggregate of the outstanding loans and outstanding letters of credit. The commitment fee is adjusted quarterly based on The Company's debt service coverage ratio for the preceding quarter and can vary from a minimum of 20 basis points to a maximum of 30 basis points. Commitment fees were charged at 20 basis points; except from May 18, 2023 through August 8, 2023, when they were charged at 30 basis points.

These credit facilities noted above are subject to various 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 $174,628 for the year ended September 30, 2023; (iii) minimum current ratio of 1.50 to 1.00; (iv) debt to total assets ratio not greater than .625 to 1.00, and; (v) solely in the case of the WCLC, a limit on capital expenditures of $30,000 per fiscal year. As of March 31, 2024, 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. Effective February 17, 2023, the Company agreed to defer the next three quarterly principal payments which were previously due May 2023, August 2023 and November 2023 to the maturity date of the loan. The loan matures in February 2029.

Silver Nip Citrus Debt

There are two fixed-rate term loans, with an original combined balance of $27,550, which bear interest at 5.35% per annum (“Pru Loans A & B”). Principal of $290 is payable quarterly, together with accrued interest. The loans are collateralized by 5,700 acres of citrus groves in Collier, Hardee, Highlands and Polk Counties, Florida and mature on June 1, 2029 and June 1, 2033, respectively.

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 March 31, 2024.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred to obtain financing are deferred and amortized to “Interest expense” in the condensed consolidated statement 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 8. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2024 was a provision of 28.6%. Such rate differed from the Federal Statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and a change in the valuation allowance for the charitable contribution carryover.

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2023 was a provision of 12.5%. Such rate differed from the Federal Statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the valuation allowance booked for the charitable contribution carryover.

Note 9. Segment Information

Segments

Total revenues represent sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Condensed 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 evaluates the segments’ performance based on direct margins (gross profit) from operations before general and administrative expenses, interest expense, other income (expense) and income taxes, not including nonrecurring gains and losses.

Note 10. 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, tractor leases 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 one year 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 11. 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 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. The Company’s 2015 Plan provides for grants to eligible participants in various forms including restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and stock options. Awards are discretionary and are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards vest based upon service conditions. Non-vested restricted shares generally vest over requisite service periods of one to six years from the date of grant.

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

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto and other information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in our other filings with the SEC. Our actual results of operations may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those included our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other portions of this Quarterly Report. Additionally, our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future. In the following discussion and analysis, dollars are in thousands, except per share and per acre amounts.

Business Overview

Business Description

Alico, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “Alico”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, we generated operating revenues of $18,113 and $21,294, respectively, loss from operations of $20,479 and $8,995, respectively, and net loss attributable to common stockholders of $15,804 and $7,787, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $19,741 for the six months ended March 31, 2024.

Business Segments

Operating segments are defined in the criteria established under FASB 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 our CODM in deciding how to assess performance and allocate resources. Our CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based on its operating segments.

Our two segments are as follows:

•Alico Citrus includes activities related to planting, owning, cultivating and/or managing citrus groves to produce fruit for sale to fresh and processed citrus markets, including activities related to the purchase and resale of fruit and value-added services, which include contracting for the harvesting, marketing and hauling of citrus; and

•Land Management and Other Operations includes activities related to native plant sales, grazing and hunting leasing, management and/or conservation of unimproved native pastureland and activities related to rock mining royalties and other insignificant lines of business. Also included are activities related to owning and/or leasing improved farmland. Improved farmland is acreage that has been converted, or is permitted to be converted, from native pasture and which may have various improvements including irrigation, drainage and roads.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Alico Citrus segment generated 98.1% and 98.3%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues and the Land Management and Other Operations segment generated 1.9% and 1.7%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues.

For the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Alico Citrus segment generated 97.7% and 97.9%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues and the Land Management and Other Operations segment generated 2.3% and 2.1%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues.

Operating Revenue

The 14.9% decrease in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily due to a combination of the timing of the Valencia harvest, which started later than in the prior year to allow the fruit more time to mature, and an acceleration of the harvest in the prior year as a result of Hurricane Ian to try to mitigate the fruit drop, which are discussed in further detail below, partially offset by an increase in Grove Management Services revenue as a result of the Citrus Grove Management Agreement we entered into on October 30, 2023 (the “Grove Owners Agreement”) with an unaffiliated group of third parties (the “Grove Owners”) to provide citrus grove caretaking services for approximately 3,300 acres owned by such third parties.

The 0.7% increase in revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily due to an increase in the price per pound solids for both the Early and Mid-season and Valencia crops,

Table of Contents

as a result of more favorable pricing in one of our contracts with Tropicana, which is discussed in further detail below and an increase in Grove Management Services revenue as a result of the Grove Owners Agreement, partially offset by a decrease in pound solids for the six months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2023.

Operating Expenses

The increase in operating expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily driven by insurance proceeds of $4,759 for crop claims received during the three months ended March 31, 2023 (the “Crop Insurance Proceeds”) which were recorded as a reduction of operating expenses and a combination of the inventory adjustments recorded at September 30, 2022 on the ending inventory balance, as a result of the impact of Hurricane Ian, which effectively lowered the inventory to be expensed in fiscal year 2023 and the Crop Insurance Proceeds, respectively. See Note 3. “Inventories” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense decreased $346 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the capitalization of costs that had previously not met the threshold for capitalization.

General and administrative expense increased $417 for the six months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the six months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to increased employee costs.

Other Income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $834 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, driven by gains of $1,596 on the sale of 279 acres of the Alico Ranch during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, which did not recur in the three months ended March 31, 2024, partially offset by lower interest expense in the current period.

Other income (expense), net for the six months ended March 31, 2024 increased $72,640 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to the sale of 17,229 acres of the Alico Ranch to the State of Florida during the six months ended March 31, 2024. By comparison, for the six months ended March 31, 2023 we recognized gains on sale property and equipment of approximately $4,763 relating to the sale of 888 acres, in the aggregate, from the Alico Ranch to several third parties.

Income Taxes

The increase in the income tax (benefit) provision of $4,436 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, was driven by a larger decrease in earnings in the current year.

The increase in the income tax (benefit) provision of $12,199 for the six months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2023, was principally due to the sale of 17,229 acres of the Alico Ranch to the State of Florida in the current year, while the income tax (benefit) for the six months ended March 31, 2023 was driven by the pre-tax loss generated for the period.

Components of Results of Operations for Alico Citrus Segment

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.

Operating expenses for our Alico Citrus segment consist primarily of Cost of Sales, Harvesting and Hauling costs and Grove Management Service costs. Cost of Sales represents the cost of maintaining the citrus groves for the preceding calendar year and does not vary in relation to production. Harvesting and Hauling costs represent the costs of bringing citrus product to processors and vary based upon the number of boxes produced. Grove Management Services costs include those costs associated with citrus grove caretaking and harvest and haul management services provided to third parties. Other expenses include the period costs of third-party grove caretaking and the purchase and reselling of third-party fruit.

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 for the Alico Citrus Segment

The 15.2% decrease in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily due to a 22.1% decrease in pound solids, driven by an 18.8% decrease in processed box production, driven by the timing of the Valencia harvest, as we began harvesting earlier in the prior year period and lower pound solids per box for both the Early and Mid-Season and Valencia crops, partially offset by an increase in the price per pound solids for both the Early and Mid-season and Valencia crops, as a result of more favorable pricing in one of our contracts with Tropicana.

The 0.5% increase in revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily due to an increase in the price per pound solids for both the Early and Mid-season and Valencia crops, as a result of more favorable pricing in one of our contracts with Tropicana and an increase in Grove Management Services revenue, partially offset by a 6.4% decrease in pound solids for the six months ended March 31, 2024, due to the timing of the harvest; as well as a decrease in pound solids per box produced as the trees continue to recover from the effects of Hurricane Ian. Although Hurricane Ian initially impacted the fiscal year 2023 harvest, we expect it may take another season, or more, for the groves to recover to pre-hurricane production levels.

The Early and Mid-Season harvest has been completed and for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024 the pound solids per box decreased 2.7% and 4.1%, respectively, and the processed box production decreased 15.5% and increased 22.0%, respectively, compared to the same three and six month periods in the prior year. Although the overall decrease in pound solids per box for the season was disappointing, the increase in total boxes produced demonstrates that the groves are beginning to recover from the effects of Hurricane Ian. In addition, there was an increase in the price per pound solids of 9.7% and 3.8% in the Early and Mid-Season fruit harvested for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year, as a result of more favorable pricing in one of our contracts with Tropicana.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized a decrease in revenue from sales of Fresh Fruit and Other of $174 and $77, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, driven by a decrease in the amount of Fresh Fruit that was resold on behalf of grove owners.

Revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024 from the grove owners relating to Grove Management Services increased 117.7% and 153.2%, respectively, compared to the prior year, principally due to the signing of the Grove Owners Agreement in October 2023.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 we recognized an increase in Cost of Sales of $4,659, compared to the prior year period, principally due to the Crop Insurance Proceeds of $4,759 received in 2023. During the six months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized an increase in Cost of Sales of $15,775, compared to the prior year, principally due to a combination of the inventory adjustments recorded at September 30, 2022 on the ending inventory balance, as a result of the impact of Hurricane Ian, which effectively lowered the inventory to be expensed in fiscal year 2023 and the Crop Insurance Proceeds. See Note 3. “Inventories” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Table of Contents

For the three month period ended March 31, 2024 Harvest and Hauling expenses decreased $1,076, compared to the prior year period, driven by the decrease in the number of boxes produced for the period as a result of the timing of our harvest. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, Harvesting and Hauling expenses were relatively flat, when compared to the same period in the prior year.

There was a 117.5% and 189.9% increase in operating expenses relating to grove management services for the Grove Owners for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in Grove Management Services expenses was due to the Grove Owners Agreement.

For the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2024, the credit amounts shown in “Fresh Fruit and Other” in operating expenses above primarily represent business interruption insurance proceeds received in the current period. For the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2023, the credit amounts primarily represent the Crop Insurance Proceeds and in the six months needed March 31, 2023, also includes $1,266 in federal relief proceeds received under the CRBG program in the six months ended March 31, 2023.

Components of Results of Operations for Land Management and Other Operations Segment

Land and Other Leasing includes lease income from leases for grazing rights, hunting leases, a farm lease, a lease to a third party of an aggregate mine, leases of oil extraction rights to third parties, and other miscellaneous income.

Land and Other Leasing operating expenses includes real estate, property taxes, general and administrative expenses including salaries, benefits and legal.

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 for the Land Management and Other Operations Segment

Land Management and Other Operations revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was relatively flat, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in revenues from Land Management and Other Operations for the six months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily due to new farming leases in the current period, partially offset by the termination of hunting leases associated with the sale of the remainder of the Alico Ranch.

The increase in operating expenses from Land Management and Other Operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily due to an increase in property taxes and permitting costs.

Seasonality

We are 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. Historically, the second and third quarters of our fiscal year produce most of our annual revenue. Working capital requirements are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal 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 fiscal year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

A comparative balance sheet summary is presented in the following table:


(in thousands)	March 31, 2024		September 30, 2023		Change

Current ratio	2.55 to 1		3.90 to 1
Debt ratio	0.20 to 1		0.30 to 1

Sources and Uses of Liquidity and Capital

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. 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 revolving lines of credit 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.

Management believes that a combination of cash-on-hand, cash generated from operations, and asset sales and availability under our lines of credit will provide sufficient liquidity to service the principal and interest payments on our indebtedness and will satisfy working capital requirements and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months and over the long term. However, this is subject, to a certain extent, on general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

Borrowing Facilities and Long-term Debt

We have a $70,000 working capital line of credit and a $25,000 revolving line of credit, of which $69,752 and $25,000 was available for general use as of March 31, 2024 (see Note 7. “Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit” to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). We may utilize the available cash to pay down indebtedness, pursue citrus grove acquisitions, 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 its 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

Table of Contents

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.

The level of debt could have important consequences on our business, including, but not limited to, increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limiting the availability of cash flow to fund future investments, capital expenditures, working capital, business activities and other general corporate requirements, and limiting flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and industry.

Our credit facilities are 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 $174,628 applicable for the year ended September 30, 2023; (iii) minimum current ratio of 1.50 to 1.00; (iv) debt to total assets ratio not greater than .625 to 1.00; and (v) solely in the case of the WCLC, a limit on capital expenditures of $30,000 per fiscal year. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants.

Cash Flows

Cash and restricted cash increased from $148 as of March 31, 2023, to $5,966 as of March 31, 2024. The components of these changes are discussed below.


(in thousands)	Six Months Ended March 31,				Change
	2024		2023
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(19,741)	$	(7,110)	$	(12,631)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	67,237		(4,111)		71,348
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(45,222)		10,504		(55,726)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and restricted cash	$	2,274	$	(717)	$	2,991

Net Cash Used In Operating Activities

The $12,631 increase in Net Cash used in operating activities was driven by working capital timing differences for the six months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period for the prior year.

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Investing Activities

The $71,348 increase in Net Cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the six months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of 17,229 acres of the Alico Ranch.

Net Cash (Used In) Provided By Financing Activities

The decrease of $55,726 in Net Cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily due to the repayment of the WCLC and the $19,094 Met Life Variable-Rate Term debt with the proceeds from the sale of 17,229 acres of the Alico Ranch, as compared to an increase in net borrowings under the WCLC in the same period in the prior year.

We had $0 and $21,122 outstanding on our revolving lines of credit as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

The WCLC agreement provides for Rabo Agrifinance, Inc. to issue up to $2,000 in letters of credit on our behalf. As of March 31, 2024, there was $248 in outstanding letters of credit, which correspondingly reduced our availability under the WCLC.

Contractual Obligations

Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations are described in the accompanying notes to the financial statements within Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. These include principal and interest payments on

Table of Contents

long-term debt as described in Note 7. “Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit”, operating leases as described in Note 10. “Leases” and purchase commitments as described in Note 12. “Commitments and Contingencies” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make certain estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience, available current market information and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally, the Company evaluates the results of these estimates on an on-going basis. Management’s estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

See Note 1. “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for a detailed description of recent accounting pronouncements. There have been no material changes to the Company’s Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates from those reflected in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk - We are subject to interest rate risk from the utilization of financial instruments such as term loan debt and other borrowings. Our primary long-term obligations are fixed rate debts subject to fair value risk due to interest rate fluctuations. See Note 1. “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation” to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We are also subject to interest rate risk on our variable rate debt; however, at March 31, 2024, we had no variable-rate debt outstanding.

In the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no other material changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk from those discussed in Part II, Item 7A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on December 6, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Limitations on effectiveness of controls and procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024 there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	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 54,500 acres of land and 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 upon two primary classifications: (i) Alico Citrus and (ii) Land Management and Other Operations. Financial results are presented based upon these two business segments. 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, 2023, as filed with the SEC on December 6, 2023 (the “2023 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. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. Seasonality The Company is 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. Historically, the second and third quarters of Alico’s fiscal year produce most of the Company’s annual revenue. Working capital requirements are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal 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 fiscal year.

•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.

Concentrations
