🌳 Business and Financial Performance
Alico discussed its Q1 2024 earnings, highlighting efforts to recover from the impacts of Hurricane Ian. The company reported disappointing early and mid-season harvests, leading to a significant inventory write-down of approximately $10.8 million.
The company achieved a sale of the remaining acreage of the Alico Ranch to the State of Florida for $77.6 million, using part of the proceeds to repay outstanding balances on credit facilities, thereby reducing total debt by $44 million and net debt by almost $62 million.

🚜 Agricultural Operations and Strategy
Alico's citrus production was impacted by Hurricane Ian, but there's cautious optimism for the upcoming Valencia harvest. The company has implemented oxytetracycline (OTC) treatments on over 35% of producing trees to combat citrus greening, with plans to extend this treatment to substantially all producing trees in FY 2024.

🌱 Sustainability and Land Management
The company released its 2023 annual sustainability report, reinforcing its commitment to environmental and social governance (ESG) priorities. Alico continues to evaluate its properties to determine their highest and best use, aiming to create long-term value for shareholders.

💼 Financial Health and Liquidity
Alico emphasized its strong balance sheet, with significant reductions in total and net debt and full availability of undrawn credit, providing ample liquidity for ongoing operations and recovery efforts.

📈 Future Outlook
Despite the challenging citrus industry environment, Alico remains committed to Florida's citrus sector and expects its recent plantings and care practices, combined with OTC treatments, to support a significant increase in fruit harvested in the next season. The company also aims to leverage its land assets for optimal shareholder value.
